Recently, a set of creative artworks titled "One Ran Mouri, Eight Mangaka" has sparked heated discussion online. Featuring Ran Mouri from Detective Conan as the protagonist, the images mimic the classic art styles of Gosho Aoyama, Akira Toriyama, Masami Kurumada, Hirohiko Araki, Yoshito Usui, Momoko Sakura, Junji Ito, and Fujiko F. Fujio, presenting vastly different interpretations of Ran Mouri.
Even when throwing a punch, the contrast between different art styles is quite apparent:
Gosho Aoyama's rendition of Ran Mouri retains the original work's refinement and sharpness.
Akira Toriyama's style appears brighter and cuter.
Under Hirohiko Araki's pen, Ran Mouri instantly gains the intense aura characteristic of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
The versions by Yoshito Usui and Fujiko F. Fujio are more lighthearted and humorous.
The most distinctive is arguably Junji Ito's style, which imbues the familiar character with a hint of eeriness.
This "clash of art styles" allows netizens to intuitively feel just how distinct each mangaka's personal style is.
