In the anime universe, there are some people who possess superpowers with amazing abilities. Whether in Dragon Ball Z or Bleach, guys like Goku and Ichigo are masters at defeating villains without even breaking a sweat. And there is a ninja that many people rank at the top of the coolest list, famous for his Rasengan move.
Rasengan is a classic move in Naruto, you may think you know everything about this super powerful move, but you may have to think again. For example, Rasengan doesn’t really have the same color as we think?

If you pay close attention, you will see Naruto’s Rasengan change color. In one scene, it might be blue, and suddenly, it turns yellow in another scene. Of course, there are those who think this has something to do with Kyubbi messing around, but that idea has been scrapped. When The Last: Naruto the Movie came out in 2015, people were a bit confused by this color change story but the explanation is very simple.
Rasengan is yellow: Studio Pierrot decided to change the color themselves
In Masashi Kishimoto’s manga, Naruto’s chakra is yellow, solid, and strong. In chapter 91, Naruto said that if he could choose a color for his power, it would be yellow. So when Naruto’s chakra turned into a ball like the Rasengan, it should have been yellow.

So why did the anime producer decide to change the color of the Rasengan to blue in the final version? Even without an official statement, it seems like they want to make things easier when it comes to design. Yellow can be a headache for artists, especially if you have to work with circular shapes like the Rasengan.
Whether aesthetic or traditional, there are many color combinations that have become trademarks in anime, such as orange and blue. Considering Naruto wears an orange outfit, it makes perfect sense for Pierrot to choose a cool blue for the Rasengan to create that contrast, rather than a yellow that looks a bit like the color of his outfit.
