The first few episodes of the anime that depicted Vegeta were animated prior to his first colored appearance within the manga, and Toriyama had yet to give Toei Animation the color schemes for either him or Nappa. Toei gave Vegeta the wrong colors in his first appearance of Dragon Ball Z! They corrected it when he got to Earth, but what if they stuck to their guns and he transformed into his Oozaru Great.

A total paint fail-or a creative twist? Watch what happened when I accidentally used the wrong colors on my rare Vegeta and Nappa figures. DBZ fans, don't come for me! #vegeta #nappa #. This is corroborated by the Wikia trivia for the episode, which states: This episode marks the debut appearance of Vegeta and Nappa in the anime.
They are shown in colors quite different from their later ones, especially Vegeta. This is because Toei guessed their colors, as the corresponding Manga volume was not in color. @kiera1200 commented, "They had to go for the worst color palette in the beginning" @missedthebandwagon976 commented, "That alternate universe where Vegeta keeps these colors and Bulma dumps him on the spot." @dizzydial8081 commented, "It looks like this was a common problem.
Hunter X Hunter had similar issues with Hisoka.". Heres Vegeta's first appearance in Z note the color Here is a shot of him in his pod still with the wrong coloration Heres him and Nappa on Arlia and don't blame the color on the "atmosphere" because Nappa's eyebrows are black as they were meant to be while Vegeta's are still discolored Next heres Vegeta with the corrected color. Toei Animation's recent Vegeta anniversary post reminds old school Dragon Ball Z fans that the iconic Saiyan prince once had a much different look.
This Nappa figure had a BAD paint job so why not paint him & Vegeta in the WRONG colors from their first appearance?!👉NEXT, check out adding LEDs to Broly's. Yes, if you watched the original Z (and not Kai), Vegeta always had this color scheme. This was the color palette that Vegeta (and Nappa, as his armor isn't quite the same color as it was depicted with when they reached Earth) were originally depicted when first shown, as those first episodes were animated prior to the first full.
