I actually had a plan to do a pic highlighting Ren’s back tattoo several years ago, but I never got that one beyond the sketching stage. This is different than what that would’ve been, but I thought it’d still be neat and hopefully some folks will enjoy it.
Here is the One-Shot comic for August of 2023! The script for this comic puts together several pairings that this Subscriber has been trying to make happen in Character Asks, but usually in ways I didn’t really feel I could make work in that format. They finally get to see some of their crossover ideas come to life here, though, and I hope y’all will enjoy the results.
I kinda don’t picture all of the boys who’ve been with Goku being a friend group or anything, but it makes sense to me at least of few of them would know each other. I kinda figured I could just show Uub with a couple of them, so I picked two boys I like but haven’t drawn a huge number of times in Yoh and Kazuki.
Lyserg is a character from Shaman King I drew ages ago for a One-Shot featuring several SK boys partnering with boys from other popular anime. I haven’t drawn him sense, but I pegged him as a good candidate for this series a while ago. It took me some time to settle on the pairing I wanted to do for him, but I finally got around to getting his second appearance here with Gon.
So the poll for this fusion was another themeless one, just ten characters I like. Of those, though, Kurapika and Yoh won out. The way these two mixed seemed pretty self-evident to me, so sorry if there’s not much surprise to this one, but I think the resulting Yorapakura is pretty cute. I decided to let him keep Yoh’s headphones (or, more accurately, get his own red ones), just ’cause I think they’re cute and I don’t see why he wouldn’t have the same habit as Yoh for wearing them.
So, Yoh and Deku haven’t worked together directly, I’m pretty sure, but there has been a lot of crossover between Shaman King and My Hero Academia in the past. Yoh’s buddy Ren has worked not only with Deku, but Deku’s pals Kirishima and Bakugou in the past, so I do think they have some association there that I don’t see with Boruto. Also, I’m just biased to like MHA over anything tied to Naruto. In the past for Asks like this I’ve usually just had the character answer the question, but I decided to go ahead and put them together here. Maybe they’ve already hooked up off camera before this, but regardless I think it results in a more interesting answer, visually.
