@benji_mc I answer your question in detail in my book, Dragon Ball Culture Volume 3: https://t.co/N0Ga8oAqxJ I also explore the story behind Goku's dōgi color in the anime and manga, and Toriyama's intent and thoughts about these decisions.
@saiyajedi @pekindaq For sure. If you ever need the originals, let me know. I have every volume. And I just did a quick look and noticed that by the end of Volume 42 they had changed it to the anime colors. So now I'm curious when the change occurred. But I'm gonna' let my OCD forget I just saw this.
Dōgi (道着, “clothes of the way”) are the sacred set of clothes or uniform of someone who walks the path of their dō (道, “way”). When a Dragon Ball warrior wears their dōgi to train or fight, they are practicing their budō (武道, “martial way”). #DragonBallCultureDaily

Dragon Ball features real-life sports cars because Akira Toriyama is an auto enthusiast. From the top left to bottom right: 1965 Triumph TR4A, 1984 Reliant Scimitar SS1, 1984 Toyota MR2, and 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Which one do you wish for? #DragonBallCultureDaily

The Red Ribbon Army Arc of Dragon Ball represents Western culture and environments. It contrasts against the Eastern environments that Goku explored in prior arcs. The naïve Goku serves as the medium between Eastern simplicity and Western complexity. #DragonBallCultureDaily
Bulma is a fashionista. For the 23rd Tenkaichi Budōkai she wears a 1970s look. Hair in a straight bob with a parted bang, spherical earrings, a ‘70s sleeveless mini-dress with a risqué cut, thin leather belt, mini purse, golden bangle, and ‘Wellie’ boots. #DragonBallCultureDaily
One of Goku’s catchphrases is ‘Waku-waku suru-zo!!’ (わくわくするぞっ!!, “I’m gettin’ excited!!”). The sound of ‘waku-waku’ is an onomatopoeia for “excitement,” “thrill,” or “nervousness.” Goku says #wakuwaku when he’s in a fight that pushes his limits. #DragonBallCultureDaily
