Y'know. I've been reading Bleach for some time now (rarely watched the anime) and I finished Naruto. And I noticed that these Author are both influenced by Akira, but have completely different styles.
Kishi:
Low stamina. His fights started out cool and technical, but towards the end they got short and simple.
Moderately cultured. There are lots of hidden gems in Naruto from Chinese, Japanese, Welsh, Greek, and Western Mythology
Personal. Kishi paints a vivid picture of himself and his views through some of the actual consistencies of the manga
Akira's influences? Dense, but OP protagonist. Love-Hate rivals. Detailed depictions of martial arts.
Kubo:
High stamina. All fights are long, intricate, and feat-rich
Heavily cultured. He uses cultural refs to help keep the story cohesive. Cheating? I say smart.
Non-personal. We can tell Kubo has ties to WW2 and he loves swords, but his manga doesn't tell me much else about him except that he's pretty creative.
Akira's influences? Blindly virtuous protagonist. Enemies that defeat themselves. Antagonist-turned-rival.
Isn't it interesting how two people with a common influence can develop totally different styles from it?
:wut:
