Gohan's Gi. Blue or Purple?

Post by Kishido » Thu Dec 22, 2016 2:47 pm

I somehow do no get people saying he has a purple and a blue Gi.

Post Cell he only has worn one Gi as he was training.

It was purple in the anime and the manga... So where does people come with the Blue one?

Some people struggle to tell the difference between purple and blue, I have a brother who has that form of color blindness. I suppose that's why some say it's blue, though this is the first I have heard of it.
Always looked purple to me.
Toriyama did once draw Gohan in a blue gi in one of his color illustrations in the Buu Arc:

Orange Bricks made his Boo arc Gi look blue, fooling a lot of people.

This looks dark blue to me

Kid Gohan has light purple, cell Gohan has dark purple, and adult gohan has darkish blue with a little hint if purple if you want to look for it..
It still seems pretty blue to me

Ah, good points there.
My major source of DB in colors are the video games and particularly DBZ Budokai 2 and 3, where Gohan's primary gi is the same color through Saiyan, Freeza, Cell and Buu arcs :lol:

Almost all of the pictures posted in this thread clearly look like some shade of purple to me -- just different shades of purple, sometimes a lighter reddish shade and sometimes a darker blueish shade.

That Buu Saga Gohan figure definitely has a blue gi, though. So does the Gohan-doing-a-Kamehameha-toward-the-camera drawing. It's kind of odd, I've never seen Gohan in a blue gi before, it's always either the purple Piccolo-like one or the orange Goku-like one.
