I must say, the Death Note and the To-Love Ru version of Naruto looks neat.
worthless celebrity didn't drew so bad either
And may the worthless comedian's one would be more comprehensible, if we knew what's written there.
its just his name...
One Piece version looks even worse than Jojo version, unfortunately. :[
that just proves that Oda fails no matter what is on the paper...
Shut Up MasterYuke, like you can draw anything at all. I swear people are such a-holes.
^ Why so touchy anon?
probably because some people need to not rag on others for something they've done all the people i see come on here have to rag on something they themselves cannot accomplish geez people
Yeah! Death to all critics!
...wat
Shut Up Anonymous, like you can criticize anything at all. I swear people are such a-holes.
Looks like he doesn't know the amount of One Piece fans aged 10-50 in Japan.
One Piece is valued highly because of its plot not art.
Art's also included :)
Proves that worthless people can draw. :)
Anyone can draw, but only a handful of the bunch can persist long enough to make a name for themselves through it.
100% agree
Thought the same thing when scrolling through it.
Completely agreed, Obsidian. Those were the exact and only two that caught my eye as well.
Obata's owned all of them by a mile.
I would read Naruto just for how epic it looks when he draws him.
He does capture the dark side well, huh? On a second look, Takei did a good job with Naruto's personality.
Yup Obata rendition of Naruto looks badass.
Hideaki Sorachi is pretty damn funny, even though not quite kick ass.
Totally agree with #1. Too bad to-love ru is such a bad manga.. He could do better than that.
to love ru was the best!
Takeshi Obata's is pretty sick, would like to see one by Miura Kentarou.
I like more or less all of them, except for that by Hirohiko Araki. That one's really creepy!
you dont know what true art is!!!
Art is in the eye of the beholder
The power of the "Spin" is the power of the "Golden Rectangle."
Moderate realism is creepy?
I was like, "Holy shit! Was it the pot that I have been smoking or Naruto just got mauled by a man-eating bear.
Love the Sexy Commando one.
I love Obata so fucking much. He is the sole purpose I bought all the Death Note volumes, because of the art.
Sometimes I like to pick them up and just watch the art, without actually paying attention to what's going on in the panels.
I liked Obata's too. And Kentaro Yabuki's version was pretty awesome as well. If only Naruto were done by them instead.
Araki's Naruto sure is fabulous! I preferred the old manlier JoJo designs.
exactly, also jojo's art quality is still higher up than naruto or bleach even though it's been running for god knows how long
Kentaro Yabuki's (To Love-Ru) style is my favorite among the shown.
It would be great in Hokuto No Ken style.
You already believe it
Hirohiko Araki's version needs moar steamroller and WRYYYYYYYYYYY...
I like when you can see other artists' take on someone else's work, but I don't think these particular pictures are all that great.
To Luve Ru Naruto Wins
This feels awfully weak merchandising for a official 10 year celebration
Unless they make the pricing cheap so potentially anyone remotely interested can get theyr hands on one
I was personally hoping for more PVC figurines or "history of" compilation book
--
btw, why do ya first get sent to a antispam filler and effectively have to double post for the comment to appear?
I assume there is a minimum char length and word filtering in place?
Oda failed. Cant see face = cant compare ; S
its a horror
WHOA WTF????? Not only did they get great authors to draw their renditions of Naruto (like Araki, Sorachi, Toriyama, and Masuda), but they also got AMANO AND SHINAGAWA???? OMG OMG I SOOOO WANT THIS BOOK!!!! And what's with the "worthless" in brackets for Amano and Shinagawa? Fucking bs, author obviously doesn't know shit all about Japanese entertainment.
It's called a joke, calm the fuck down.
The Gintama one makes me think the nosebleeds are the reason Kakashi wears a mask.
It's kinda sad that I can just take one look at one of these pictures and automatically name which mangaka it was.
i like the way kubo drew orochimaru but naruto looks like ichigo!
if you were observant you'd notice that _rukia_ looks like ichigo.
for those who are ill-versed in subtlety - Kubo's designs for many of his characters consist of same face palate and different hairstyle/tattoos/clothing to indicate difference in character.
this is true amongst characters of same/similar age, and differs as age increases (e.g. kenpachi etc)
Actually, Rukia has a more heart-shaped face, larger eyes and thinner eyebrows. The Strawberry also has more chin than her. Most of the characters have similar eyes though, but hey, it's his style.
Quite a lot of Authors seem to do that
even older ones, they got there style and there average character
And that fact that Orochimaru looks like muramasa from the current bleach filler
i want see Seishi Kishimoto reedition. It would have similar style but greater quality imo
Would have been so much better if they had drawn Hinata!
No thanks, that waste of space.
your post is a waste of space too!
And yours.
But mine is not ^.~
The one from Obata is really nice, but i miss two artists: Takehiko Inoue and Kentaro Miura...I'd really like to know how that would look.
Let's not forget Masakazu Katsura (unless I'm misinformed and he's not from the same company), I would've liked to see something from him.
You are misinformed, all his works were Jump.
Considering the realism in his pictures (especially from I"s), he would've been a great choice to include.
That I am then.
That's what I was thinking; Zetman is such a masterpiece and it would've been great to see him draw some Naruto. Oh well.
Takeshi Obata is probably the best one...best manga artist that ever existed.
Eiichiro Oda's fanart looks even better that his work in One Piece itself.
No Kouta Hirano?
Or Rumiko Takahashi?
All the mangaka involved in this seem to be people who have been published in JUMP ... they keept it in the family, I'd assume.
Uh, Rumiko already drew a version of Nartuo. He's called Inuyasha.
Kentaro Yabuki (To Love-Ru) is my favorite pic.
Then comes Takeshi Obata (Death Note).
In third comes good old Akira Toriyama.
I should finish the manga one day, but never the anime.
The ToLoveRu version is better than the original... lol... but otherwise, DO NOT WANT...
I don't really like Obata's...
lol Noriaki Kubo's (whatever happened to tite kubo i will never know) looked awesome :D an ichigo naruto :P
Need Miura Kentaro and Ai Yazawa's version
Oh man, +1 for Ai Yazawa.
wow none of you praised oda's work....jerks
my god the death note one is too epic for naruto..
and now I want kubo to draw one piece and for oda to draw bleach and for kishimoto to draw bleach and one piece
and I bet kishimoto-sensei is happy that his hero toriyama-sensei drew his character
Oba's fanart looks even better that his One Piece comic.
and of course you are wrong.......
Oda's looked like crap...
Everyone has there own style...get over it
//wow none of you praised oda's work....jerks
//Everyone has there own style...get over it
Maybe you should get over it.
die...
Um, what?
You like Obata's pic? It's just... crap! :(
Death Note looked so much better than this... In fact, if had flawless art. This... just sucks.
Kubo's looks just like repainted Ichigo, Toriyama still rules, as always.
Toriyama said: FUCK that 'lil blond shit, I'll make up my own character
Toriyama rules
He just switched the roles of Goku and Naruto.
Lol what an idiot..
............
that's Goku in Naruto's Clothes. -_-
I don't think Obata's crap, nor is it my favorite (mine's Yabuki Kentaro's). I still think it looks very cool.
Also, he used a more "toned-down" drawing style for this one, similar to how he draws Bakuman. I DO prefer his "end-Hikaru-no-go" and "Death Note" style better, but I don't mind him using this one for Naruto.
Death Note is so 2004.
10 years and Sasuke hasn't died yet
10 years of paper wasted
This is true, Kishimoto has really lost it story wise. Until I see Sasuke die, hopefully a brutally painful death, Naruto's story as a whole will have nothing redeemable.
Awww...I wanted a Seth MacFarlane, David Feiss, Matt Groening, and Genndy Tartakovsky rendition.
i liked the Bleach one
One Piece > Naruto
You are my favorite anon
OPtards are fags and the annoyance of the internet~
Die in a pit
Narutards are 60 times worse
believe it...
I've yet to see any other group of fans bigger than Naruto's in a convention... Seriously, Narutards and crossdressers are the majority in the cosplay comm (at least in AX, I wouldn't know about other places)
Whoever thinks Narutards are worse than OPtards are delusional idiots or just OPtards themselves, it's a fact.
Please take note when people need to say it's a fact it just means they usually have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Well I like the art in One Piece and find the story funny and interresting so I might be under your category of OPtards. But hey at least I'm something ^_^.
@anon 21:06
Personally I never thought so, fans are fans and they just love the series, but I DID see much more narutards than OPtards in US conventions. Maybe it's because OP suffered much with that horrible censored dubbed version it first got so it doesn't have that many casual fans (the ones who get hooked with the anime version first).
Then again I don't know how bad dub Naruto was.
I like Hiroyuki's rendition
then again Loved his stuff anyway specially what he's doing on ultimo with stan "the man" lee
Wish Osamu TEZUKA still alive let see if astroboy version look like of Naruto
I thought Togashi is on hiatus because of sickness. How did he manage to get the free time to do this?
Kishimoto held a pen in his hand and moved it along while Togashi ate his hospital food.
Nicu reference.
He ain't sick ,he's just at home playing games and shit.
lol Naruball
I knew it since the begining of this series.
Yoshihiro Togashi one looks like real
LOL Togashi didn`t change Naruto at all
Who is Noriaki Kubo?
Bleach written by Tite Kubo...
Tite is just a Pen name, Noriaki is his real name.
It's like Doctor Suess
Noriaki is his original name, he just changed it. (Google is your friend)
Obata's, Oda's, and Araki's are the best.
Though, I wish Takehiko Inoue did one, just to see how he would draw Naruto.
RIGHT ON!
I totally thought so too. Love Inoue sensei!
Man Oda's pic looks like shit, wtf...
I was really looking forward to see his version of Naruto..
Correction, all of Oda's art is shit.
Ah, another we hate one piece fan.....die....
Another useless person who instantly asumes that just because one doesn't worship everything Oda does he's a OP hater.
Worthless..
shut it.....
You're just further proving my point.
why dont you sign up and maybe I'll care about your opinion?
I actually think it's pretty neat. The style he used is similar to how Sai's paintings look. I don't think it's the best, but it's still quite nice.
I'm liking you...
You're just proving yourself to be more and more of an OPtard...
oh be quiet
It's a very powerful piece, he has a great brush technique going there. It may differ from generic manga-styles, but it's far from ugly.
I sooo want this book.
Very Nice...
But if I drew Naruto, It would be her as him in his harem no jutsu
'reminds me. Yabuki Kentarou version + Harem/Sexy no Jutsu = FTW!!
Hideaki Sorachi should draw the faces for naruto if kishimoto decides to put gags in
Oh wow this is an awesome action except for the last pic.
To-Love-Ru Artist really nailed it right. And i was surprised w/ the Death Note Artist's different style of approaching this. Though i love the cross-over art of dragonball x Naruto. Naruto looks good w/ Saiyan's clothing.
Definitely the most 'prettiest' rendition of Naruto, not necessarily the best representation of naruto.
If Yabuki drew sexy-no-jutsu; that would incite mass fapage.
Surprised by how unshitty the bobobobobo one turned out o_O, been a while since I've read the manga
I am impressed. Good for naruto. Manga storyline isn't so great right now but it can only go up from here.
Hey, at least the Worthless Celebrity gave a good draw at it. Give him some worth, damnit!
the goku-bunta one is very good.. when justsu fail you can always destroy the earth :p
Interesting take by these mangakas. Obata's is (unsuprisingly) the best of the bunch, and I like Oda's version, as well. I have to say, Yabuki's drawing lacks a lot of personality in my opinion.
You can tell Oda didn't even give a shit and spent not more than 30 seconds on his "contribution". After all, he has much better and more important things to work on, such as drawing One Piece and fucking his hot wife.
I cant wether if this is a compliment or insult
Or rather Oda can't draw anything but goofy out-of-proportion characters with silly outfits =3
^Why are people voting his post down when it's the truth?
Psshh OPtards *shakes head*
have you seen his other works people!? dont insult somebody over one manga people!!
everyone has they're own style and just let them use it who cares what the characters look like? just read the manga and enjoy!
I do read the manga, and i do enjoy it, it's probably one of my favourite manga's of all time, but that doesn't mean im gonna start sucking Oda's cock and worship everything he does just because he's the one that did it.
mr anon be quiet its time for the active members to talk
Wow Togashi has time in making a collaborative art yet he doesn't have the time in finishing HxH
The To love ru, Death Note, and Inumarudashi artists are the best.
This was really neat. Always like seeing how other people draw a certain character, hehe.
Regardless of series, I always love seeing mangaka draw their take on other characters. It's quite refreshing. I enjoyed all of them.
I can't believe the artist of To Love Ru, a harem manga, comes in second... I'm not sure if it says more about his own talent, or his peers' lack thereof. Hahaha.
I wish Ken Akamatsu did a rendition.
Seems like you've never read Black Cat.
Toriyama has perhaps the most ubiquitous style of any of the mangaka in that entire list. Doesn't leave much room for creative interpretation though; I look at his rendition of Naruto and I can see Goku, Chrono, that dude from Blue Dragon and so on -_-.
It's lacks the Naruto's version of Tetsuo Hara x.x
I wonder if Oda ever read Naruto.... Oh well, he's the best mangaka around to me XD
You forgot to include Mizuki Kawashita's (Ichigo 100%) rendition here,
i agree with obsidian to love ru and death note look awsome
Was kinda hoping beyond hope for a Hiroaki Samura depiction.
The Hiroyuki Takei (Shaman King) version made me go "Awwwww~! <3" (I've been a fan of Takei since the Shaman King manga's first tankoubon volume was published)
Top only good ones for me:
1.Obata 2.Takei 3.Yabuki 4.Sorachi
too bad some of my fav jump mangaka isn't there shiibashi hiroshi (nuramago - great art), amano yoichi (akaboshi - cool art), kawashita mizuki (ichigo100%) and kano yasuhiro (mx0)

oh that shenron by kishimoto is pretty cool :O
love these drawings!
No love for Hiroyuki Takei? Haha, nice to see his rendition up there with everybody else's. <3
Obata and Kubo's are fucking mint...!
Wow the To Love Ru's rendition of Naruto is nice!
The one with Jojo is... weird. It should be draw in inverted colors so as to emphasize ZA WARUDO
Of course it's weird, that's why the article's title is Naruto's Bizarre Adventure. He's basically turned into a she-male in that drawing.
Gyahahaha.
Obata's Naruto looks like Kisame.
Here is all the 42 Managaka's renditions of Naruto there is even Watsuki Nobuhiro (Rurouni Kenshin) and Osamu Akimoto (Kochikame)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2L79DRPN
araki's naruto is epic
hope his naruto has laser eyes =P
Would have loved to see a Kentaro Miura one :P
Kouji Ooishi was fun seeing Kakashi eating rammen
they each got their own style, I like Kubos Naruto's face look like a more detailed Ichigos with the marks
Toriyamas version look like it would be entertaining
I think the best one was Nobuhiro Watsuki's version and it's not shown here.
No Amano Akira (kateikyo hitman reborn) rendition?
There is one. Just not posted. [http://i48.tinypic.com/281yog3.jpg.]http://i48.tinypic.com/281yog3.jpg.
I hate Naruto. But in respect, I love Kentaro's art.
What is the name of this book? (I can't find it... -.-'')
I love the Hirohiko Araki version.
Araki has maintained a consistent level of quality in JoJo, because he is in fact immortal. Seriously, I've seen a montage of photos of him arranged chronologically, and he just does not age, ever. In fact, towards the end he actually seemed to get younger.
The One Piece one sucks. Oda can't draw to save his life. And One Piecetards are morons. Idiots of the internet in my opinion. Keep your so called "Great story" to yourselves. U gotta be good at the art too U know. And please stop riding Oda's cock.
NO YOU DONT
good art does not = bad manga
bad story = bad manga
and oda's art doesnt suck it's unique and if you anon fags cant get it through your thick skulls you dont deserve to even read manga
and get a life and stop hiding behind the mask of anon please signed people > anon fags like you
lol at the DragonBAll x Naruto gotta love cross overs. To Love Ru and Jojo's are personal favs.
Why does the Naruto drawn by Kōsuke Masuda look like he is about to get raped?
