...What? There's absolutely nothing different than normal about that manga page that I can see.

Really?I didn't know that they were wearing weighted clothing in the original page.

[Michsi]

What is this? Tenshinhan looks like he's been re-drawn.

[Titan]

What is this? Tenshinhan looks like he's been re-drawn.

Yeah,it seems they are using weighted clothing in this version except Chaozu.

[Piccolo Daimao]

What is this? Tenshinhan looks like he's been re-drawn.

Yeah,it seems they are using weighted clothing in this version except Chaozu.

And Tenshinhan looks really...weird.

How so? At least in this version he has the third eye and his body doesn't look... well really weird,ie,poorly designed.
I thought Toei tried to correct this new version.

I don't know what it is. His head and the outline of his body...just looks weird to me. Like bad fan-art.

[Herms]

Oh, I didn't notice that. Yeah, that's different than the original. Maybe it's from some later edition of the kanzenban, but that seems like a pretty easy thing to fake.

If this is bad art, i think you never saw the original.Tenshinhan looks horrible in the original panel!

Probably it is some later edition of the kanzenban,cos they fixed the absence of the third eye and they also added the weights,after all they were supposed to train with weights.

I didn't think Tenshinhan looked that bad in the original. I dunno, maybe it's just that this one looks different edited.

I always thought that God just added weights after a certain point. I don't think when Goku trained with God, he immediately started wearing weights. Goku and Kuririn certainly didn't do it with Kame-sennin. Kame-sennin only made them train with weights after he couldn't teach them anything new, so once they'd gotten strong enough, he just made them do the same thing, only with weights.

But as Herms said, it seems like a pretty easy thing to fake. I think it's an edit.

[Michsi]

I'm looking at the original panel right now and I don't see what's so horrible about it. Sure back then Toriyama didn't have such a good grasp of human anatomy but this looks just as bad. Arms way too short, torso way to buff and the face does look strange to me.

Yeah I'm leaning towards fan work.

I did read somewhere that Toriyama at some point was working on new edition of the manga "to polish it" but I think he mentioned that he wasn't redrawing scenes.

[Herms]

Hmmm...well, the Japanese Wikipedia page for DragonBall doesn't mention anything like this in their list of kanzenban changes. It's possible that they missed it or it's a newer change that the page hasn't been updated to include yet, but this does incline me more towards it being some fan edit.

[Titan]

Arms way too short, torso way to buff and the face does look strange to me.

The arms look fine to me considering his position,but well in that case the arms are too short in both versions.The face looks modern to me like in that dvd cover between Ten and yamcha.
Now the arms below look horrible.

It was in an interview I read ages ago but don't take my word for it, I might misremember it.
Still, it doesn't even look like Toriyama's new style.

No, the arm is too short and it has nothing to do with the position. I did say it looks just as bad so I obviously meant both versions.

The face looks closer to newer art but it still looks bad IMO. You get a better sense of him looking in the others direction in the old one.

Yup, that's bad....

IMO i still think the new version looks way better,but hey i'm not a pro.
His body looks like in a bodybuilding contest, therefore his arms look fine IMO.

IMO They seem the same,however in the new version at least Toei added the third eye.

A normal human arm is supposed to reach past your hip and it doesn't it this case.
I'm not a pro either but I am aiming to be. I pay a lot of attention to anatomy.

You keep mentioning Toei. They had nothing to do with the manga as far as I know.

lol I meant Shonen Jump.

Yeah, he said that back in issue #1 of the US Shonen Jump (2003). He was talking about the Kanzenban, which were new at the time.

Ok,maybe you should offer your help to the dbz multiverse project.
