That happens a lot with anime, I notice. Like how the Yu Yu Hakusho anime made Kurama a redhead, and now it's difficult to see him any other way.

I seem to recall Saiga linking to an old image of Future Trunks colored by Toriyama that had him with blue hair but I can't, for the life of me, find that stuff. All I do know is that Future Trunks' hair is blue in the Super anime because it was blue in the preview imagine Toriyama dew and presumably colored.

Eh, I'm not angry that his hair is blue. It makes more sense for it to be blue, anyway.

When I was a sophomore, I actually spent some time trying to figure out how Trunks got purple hair when he's the son of somebody with blue hair and black hair.

Or maybe dying your hair is a shared family trait of Vegeta and Bulma. Vegeta had brown hair in the early filler, remember.

And yet, Kid Trunks still has purple hair.

It's flavored after those candies that abruptly change flavor halfway through. Starts as grape, then shifts to blueberry.

Trunks with blue hair would have been fine if they also changed Kid Trunks but leaving them different is just distracting. It's not like we'd confuse them with each other.

Is it blue in flashbacks that occur BEFORE Trunks kills Cell at the end of the Android saga?

Yes. They re-animated the scene of Trunks finding Gohan's dead body and going Super Saiyan, except he has blue hair in it.

It was in the first few episodes of the Future Trunks arc.

Maybe this isn't the same Trunks that we saw before? Maybe this is a Trunks from a timeline where his hair was always blue and he did come back and help fight Androids, but he didn't come to this timeline but a different timeline and oh no I've gone cross-eyed.

But every other time they've done flashbacks Super has cut to original DBZ footage. That flashback is newly animated, even though it depicts and event that they already covered in History of Trunks. Why wouldn't they use that archive footage when all the rest of the time they use archive footage?

So that he would have blue hair I'm guessing.

Eeyup. That seems like the obvious answer to me.

"They always use archived footage. Why wouldn't they use archived footage during a scene where they retconned one of the details?" is one of those questions that answers itself.

Off-topic, but what's with the subtitle in that video?

Trunks says "Gohan-sama", and the subtitle says "Gohan-san". Like, what?

Changing his hair blue would make him stand out more compared to an aged present Trunks if they were planning to go that far.

It still annoys me how Future Gohan died in the same year as Bra being born in the main timeline but Trunks looks the same age as he was in the Buu saga.

I still think the end of Z has been retconned so hard that Pan and Bra were actually born years before their previous birthdates, and Super's only taken place over like 2 or 3 years.

Not really. they have been following what little was known about the time skip pretty well, you can pin down the date most of the time.

Just Trunks and Goten are inappropriately static. Trunks should look like this.

Trunks, Goten, and Marron. Who are entirely the reasons I believe this theory.

Maybe stress makes saiyans grow faster. Trunks and Goten have had it too easy.

[up] I blame all the time on the lookout. Gravity is weaker in high altitude. Look at Krillin who did not grow nearly as much as Goku in the same time!
