I'll leave a poll. Kishimoto out of all the shounens I've read so far appears to have the most inspired, original and complex techniques I've come across so far, and that's saying something from a bleach fanboy. I like how he incorporates mythology into them as well as philosophy martial arts disciplines.

I agree with Kishimoto.
I think Kubo can be really creative to, although sometimes, it's a miss.
Togashi has original techniques, but then again they're sometimes based off of childhood games hah.

Kishimoto in my opinion, I don't read many shounens anyways.

Yoshihiro Togashi is actually the most original mangaka.
both Masashi Kishimoto and Tite Kubo copied his works.

HUNTER X HUNTER and YUYU HAKUSHO FANS ALONE WILL UNDERSTAND.

What I like the most was his reference to religion and politics. You just don't see that these days. :p

For me Naruto got many original and most inspired technique like rasengan.

Even hand seal(not a technique) for me is so special that we as a reader try to do it In real life.
