Vegeta First Color

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. Vegeta's First Color Scheme in Dragon Ball Z Is Fondly Remembered by Some Many DBZ fans were surprised by Vegeta's old-school appearance, occasionally poking fun at it in the comment section of Toei's original post.

However, a considerable number of followers also stated that they actually prefer Vegeta's original look. The first hint of Bulma's attraction to Vegeta is right after Goku's battle with Frieza and Planet Namek's destruction, in which Bulma told Vegeta she thought he was cute and that he should lighten up a bit, much to his bafflement. Vegeta made his appearance in chapter #204 "Sayonara, Son Goku", published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on January 7, 1989, [3] seeking the wish-granting Dragon Balls to achieve immortality.

As the first major antagonist of Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta is the prince of an elite extraterrestrial warrior race known as the Saiyans. In Vegeta's first appearance in the anime, the legendary prince appears with the red hair and green and orange armor, a decidedly different aspect than what it looks like when it arrives on earth. 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.

They were somewhat close with Nappa, though the browns on his attire would later be changed to yellow and the black be given a more shiny blue hue to it, but with Vegeta, they were. These days, Vegeta's look is instantly recognizable. With his black hair, blue suit, and white and gold armor, his look is iconic.

However, in the anime's early days, Vegeta's color scheme was almost completely different, having light brown hair, a dark blue suit with a green and orange set of armor. This was due to a coloring mistake since before that time, Vegeta was only known to be in. Bulma had purple hair in the manga (hence why Trunks had purple hair).

But, the anime had her hair that teal/blue color, but in DBZ they kept Trunks color purple, but then in Super changed it to blue to fit the anime's blue Bulma. Even weirder, kid Trunks still has purple hair in Super. They should have just kept Trunks hair purple to begin with.

This was my favorite look of vegeta. The first o watch DBZ in my childhood. Would be cool to see an easter eggs about it in newer or latest video games, anime, and Dragon Ball Super.
