Weekly Jump and other edition Color page question

I seems like the Weekly jump volumes has some extra colors...anyone know why?

I assume you are talking about the speech bubbles, because that's the only difference that I can see? I'm just going to venture a guess and say that it might have just been easier for Viz to remove the color from the bubbles when replacing the dialogue. Can't say for sure, though.

It looks like the colors are more refined, but that might be due to the camera and lighting. And, as Freeza Soldier #156 pointed out, some speech bubbles are colored in.

I also noticed that the action lines on the bottom left panel in the second image is colored in red in the jump issue. I also noticed the color behind Yamucha here:

Just checked my Kanzenban and those colors are not present either:



Those must have been colors that were added by Jump themselves, probably for no reason other than for the sake of making it more colorful, and so wouldn't be present on any other release.

Have you guys looked at Kanzenshuu's Manga Comparison page? It has a side-by-side-by-side comparison of chapter 81. Of importance:

Furthermore, color has been added to the image in various places. More coloring was added to the backgrounds in many panels, and even the speech bubbles were done in jazzy colors, which actually look pretty decent. This version of the manga was not quite 100% true to Toriyama’s original artwork, but it came pretty damn close, and we are sure many people would want the extra Shueisha material simply as a rarity. However, these books were extremely large, extremely cheap (price and quality-wise), and one-time prints, so the chances of obtaining them now-a-days is pretty close to zero.

Thanks for the info! It's been a while since I checked the manga portion of the site.

I think this is one case where I like the SJ version better
