In the Dragon Ball series, Trunks' hair color is inconsistent, varying between shades of purple, blue, and red in his Super Saiyan Third Grade state. Future Trunks' hair in the anime transitions from lavender to blue, while Present Trunks maintains a lavender hue. Even kid trunks hair is blue now as a teen, when before at the end of Z his hair was purple but now it's blue.
I just see it as a modernization of the character design and to match up more with Bulma's hair color who used to change from purple to blue all the time back then. Reply reply [deleted]. Trunks is one of the most mysterious characters in Dragon Ball.
Like many anime series, Dragon Ball features characters with hair colors that would be considered highly unusual in reality. Shades of blue, purple, green, and even pink are all fairly common in this universe, with major characters such as Bulma and her son Trunks sporting these vibrant hues. In Dragon Ball Z, Trunks is known for having purple hair, but in Dragon Ball Super, his hair colour changes to blue.
This change has led to some confusion among fans, as the present. When Trunks was introduced in the manga, he was drawn (in colored images) to have the same shade of blue hair as his mom. When the anime adaptation of the later Dragon Ball Z stories came along, however, Toei decided to give Trunks Bulma's original hair color of purple instead of blue.
Nice and simple, right? In the manga, Trunks and Bulma both have purple hair, with Trunks inheriting his hair color from Bulma. In the anime, Bulma was given blue hair, but for reasons unknown, they kept Trunks' purple hair instead of changing it to blue. Lately, when doing character designs for the anime, Toriyama tends to give Trunks blue hair, matching Bulma.
Fans who remember Future Trunks remember his purple haired look in Dragon Ball Z, but were surprised to see him return with a completely different hair color. Surprisingly, there's a simple. Let's start with an assumption: Trunks has mommy's hair the same color.
This means that he should have them blue in the anime while he has them purple in Dragon Ball Z and only in Dragon Ball Super are they recolored that way. The flaw arises from the designs Akira Toriyama sent to Toei Animation's production. Trunks' hair colour changes from purple to blue Fans of the Dragon Ball series have noticed that the character Trunks' hair colour has changed from purple to blue over time.
In Dragon Ball Z, Trunks' hair appears to be purple, but in Dragon Ball Super, it is depicted as blue. This has led to some confusion and speculation among fans.
