Them switching the colors on Kushina's dress annoyed me, as Kishimoto hadn't done a color picture of Kushina yet (thank goodness he finally did!). Everyone knew it was wrong because they made the maternity jumper lighter than the shirt. I'm glad Kishimoto did do a color picture of Kushina now. Even though Kushina's outfit is different in the special illustration it's a good guess those same colors were used with her maternity jumper and shirt. (If Naruto's personality is like hers it's likely she also stuck with mostly the same color scheme in her clothing throughout her life. That would mean dark navy blue for the jumper and medium orange (with a slight reddish tinge) for the shirt. (mangastream's scan of the color illustration is better in showing the color gradients than onemanga's if anyone wants to use them as references for Kushina's color scheme for drawings and costumes. Usually onemanga has the clearer scans but the last two weeks mangastream has had the sharper images, more true color scans.
Correction- I checked to be sure and no, I remembered wrong- onemanga's scan is better of the special illustration, it especially shows up in the blue images, the lightest blue on the Whirlpool symbol on Naruto's shirt, next lightest on Kushina's apron, then Minato's pants, next his shirt, and lastly Kushina's skirt, then you have the black of the frying pan in Kushina's hand. On Onemanga you can see the various shades of blue, but on mangastream's the symbol on Naruto's shirt looks white, Kushina's apron and Minato's pants look the same shade, and Kushina's skirt looks black like the frying pan. Anybody who wants the true color references better grab it quick from Onemanga before they go down.
It was the scan of 504 that was of lesser quality than usual on Onemanga.
The anime team made Kushina's hair darker then it is, also instead of making it go to her ankles they make it go up to her waist and made her eyes grey. Are they trying to make Kushina look more like Hinata by shortening her hair, making it a darker shade of red and giving her grey eyes so it would match a little bit? Oh, and I've been dying to point out this complaint I had about when Naruto turned six tails in the anime. Remember when Gamakichi was laughing from excitement when Naruto transformed as if it was nothing to worry about then Sakura yelled at him with an angry and serious look on her face. In the anime, it was changed from a serious outburst to a nonchalant statement. This parody should some up what I think:
Hyuga Guy: Pain and Naruto are moving away from the village!
Gamakichi: Hahahaha.... Pain doesn't stand a chance against Naruto now!
Sakura: Meh.... it's nothing to joke about, in this state he could attack anyone, friend or foe.
Anbu Guy: You don't seem to worried about it.
Sakura: No really, I am.
I'm not sure if this is positive to show that Sakura can be calm or negative to make it look like she's not worried, it just felt odd to me and I want to know what you guys think of it. I'm also not sure if Kushina's eye color is such a big deal, just want to know what you guys think. Anyway, I hope that they change Kushina's color scheme a bit when she makes her debut in the jinchuriki training arc. Hell, I even hope that Kishimoto does a color spread page of the narusaku/minakushi parallel showing Kushina's eye color if the anime teams choice wasn't right depending on if the color spread page comes out before the current arc and if the anime is in filler.
