This a LONG shot, but has anybody here heard of Jesulink? hes a spanish artist who back in the day made a parody comic of naruto and then an original story. Everytime i read Kagurabachi im always thinking the style reminds me of someone but could never put my finger on who, now seeing hokazono's early work i can definetly say its so similar to jesulink, im not saying theres any deeper connection but its funny seeing how 2 people on complete opposite sides of the world ended up having similar styles just by being inspired by kishimoto
@@personperson573this is not hype. These were hokazono’s stated inspirations. And if you read the manga and look at the style of how of how the paneling is drawn. it checks out.
Farewell! Cherry Boy is my favorite oneshot by Hokazono by far, when I read it the first time the twist surprised me so much I had to set it down for a second to take it in.
Sometimes I really think I've underestimated the impact that John Wick has had on newer talents that have entered Jump in the last four years or so haha. Nice video! Looks like I have some one shots to check out
Also as an aside, as an artist and writer myself I can definitely say it's quite understandable to not have all elements of a larger story contained in a series of other works. These stories steep with us over long, long periods of time and may not necessarily extend itself to the scope of a test project we make at the time. With that said, this video has definitely given me more courage to go through with making some oneshots. Cheers
Hokazono really took the time to grow. But recently I actually got in touch with the translator who was responsible with Roku’s Pact. And it was an interesting experience for him back then.
@ it was for them tough as he said that he thought it was lame, but looks at it now years later and looks at it more fondly. They still do the scanlations of the one-shots with his recent translation for Interdimensional Cyborg Prototype Zero. Edit: clarification he thought his translation was lame not the one-shot, I misread it. But he really did enjoy the one-shot, I swear. I can be an idiot sometimes when I don’t read the text carefully. But anyway their translations are good and they try their hardest. And they also translated the MamaYuyu authors one-shot more recently as well, but it is in Spanish.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hokazono said that he created Enten while taking some inspiration from Naruto since Naruto is one of the most well known Manga in Weekly Shonen Jump.
seeing this video be a dive into hokazonos growth as an artist and storyteller, i feel it fits to say that the growth in your videos has also been huge and really fun to see. it's esp the case for this recent one. i'm glad to have followed your videos for as long as i have and it's something i look forward to quite a bit !! your growth in presenting information and narration (is that the right word ? 😅😅) is smth i can't help but notice every time you upload something new. very very great video !!!
Knitting By The Window was just out of pocket the girl deadass pulled a gun out of nowhere I was shocked 💀💀 Tho I'm curious I kinda want to see more from this world
Though the story that he made for Chain may have been as you described it "bit more basic" compared to his other works, i think it served well to test that ARC where we see the first Main Villain of Kagurabahici go up against the prevailing group. I don't recall the names off the top of my head since its been a good while ago when I read through those chapters.
I think because its so obvious I didn't even bother mentioning haha. I didn't see too much in the way of connection other than the spiritual beasts either, but it's a nice callback
I actually read the Roku no Meiyaku one shot when it first came out and it is cool to see where hokazono is now. Roku no Meiyaku and Shikigami (By Kento amemiya) were my two favourite one shots of 2022 and I really wanted to see both mangaka serialized. In the end, one came back with a huge flop and the other with a huge success lol Also , I actually guessed that roku no meiyaku would be serialized , one week before kagurabachi started.
Maybe it’s just not for you, and that’s okay, I love it because it reminds me kinda to John wick, and I really like the art, they way hokazono frames action it’s really entertaining to read
Well this videos more about Hokazonos oneshots and his work overall but Kagurabachi for me is just really well made. It's got the surface level cool factor, some edge and a ton of action but it's pretty adept at playing around with various themes. It actually does justice to the idea of a revenge story, exploring what that means and the toll it takes on Chihiro and those around him. The side cast is pretty strong too, especially it's antagonists and it's just a bunch of fun to read week by week! There's a ton of reasons why I like it tbh
@@AlexisMartinez-bb4deIt doesn't even really remind me of John wick it's just dynamic action SJ already has a lot of that 😂😂 also KB just hasn't had "that arc" yet tbh it's pretty boringly paced

I've never heard of them but it sounds like a fun coincidence! I'll pin your comment in the hopes someone else ever sees it!
Hokazono took the Best out of Naruto, Tarantino, John Wick, Vagabond, and Batman into making Kagurabachi!
Alright bro you're overhyping it a lil 😂😂
Insanity. The manga blows

Right!! I really wasn't expecting it for his second published work!

Ikr!! I'll have to give at least 1 John Wick film a shot, I owe it that much. Hooe you enjoy Hokazonos oneshots!
The growth is really beautiful. Hope Hokazono sensei continue to succeed.

For sure!! Hope the translators had a fun experience with it

Damn a whole video on him. Cool!.
Also thanks for the doodle. It looks wayyyy better than i thought it would be.😍
Aww glad you like it it was fun to do!
So you're telling me I can satiate my appetite for peak during the WSJ break? Sold.
Heck yeah, i got you covered!
I wouldn't be surprised if Hokazono said that he created Enten while taking some inspiration from Naruto since Naruto is one of the most well known Manga in Weekly Shonen Jump.
I think that's absolutely the case considering his love for Naruto and the elements of the oneshot

Awww tysm Stell I'm glad you think I've improved and hope I keep getting better in the future!
Awesome video, these one shots are interesting especially the teddy bear one
Thank you!! Glad you found it interesting!!
Knitting by the window must've been inspired by Fujimoto. Cuz goddamn it feels like it.
3:05 CHILLS!! I did actually get chills.
Knitting By The Window was just out of pocket the girl deadass pulled a gun out of nowhere I was shocked 💀💀

19:00 There've been unusual skeletons in the Storehouse tbf.
Ohhh true, well im all for some weird abomination to pop up and join Chihiros crew haha
Yoooo peak is back
Peak is indeed back!!
Surprised you didn't mention that Enten is also the name of Chihiro's blade
I think because its so obvious I didn't even bother mentioning haha. I didn't see too much in the way of connection other than the spiritual beasts either, but it's a nice callback
Taco horizontal
loved this. could you do the same with undead unluck
Ohhh that could be fun even though Tozuka has like 3 oneshots!!
I love you Taco Horizontal
Yippie!

Ohhh that must've been cool to see! Tbh most oneshots I've read are from those yet to debut haha! Good calls tho
I feel crazy hearing all of this high praise for this series. What am I not seeing?? Lol
