So i've seen numerous pictures of Kinnikuman Great, and I know he appeared as both Prince Kamehame and Terryman in the original series, but what color should he be? I know Kamehame was depicted as red in the anime series, but Kinnikuman Great appeared to be black.
Was this just a case of Toei not knowing the true identity/intended color for the character at the time of production, or was this correct and then changed later (perhaps over fears of racial stereotyping. like with Mr. Popo in DBZ, although I highly doubt this).
Later in the series it even appears he has a red body with a black mask.....it's all got pretty confusing, although I think the same can be said about other characters such as Robinmask and Warsman, who's manga colours now differ from those of the original anime.
Perhaps like Araki, Yudetamago doesn't want to be tied down to colors and likes to use multiple schemes for each character??
Anyway, I'd like know know if anyone has any answers....official responses?
Thanks.
