The collaboration illustration of Kyogoku Makoto & Conan vs. Kenshiro & Rin was unveiled, as well as a two-shot photo of the original author, Gosho Aoyama, and Tetsuo Hara, and a making-of movie.

The original "Detective Conan" has sold more than 230 million copies worldwide. The 22nd film in the series, "Detective Conan: Zero no Shukko-nin," was released in April last year and recorded the highest box-office revenue of the series at 9.18 billion yen.

Conan, his mortal rival, the Phantom Thief Kid, nicknamed "the magician under the moon," and Kyogoku Makoto, the strongest karate fighter with an undefeated record of 400 fights, are all vying for the world's largest jewel, the blue sapphire, which is said to have sunk to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the 19th century, The story involves a murder near Marina Bay Sands and a huge conspiracy in Singapore.

This time, "Detective Conan: The Dark Blue Fist" and "Fist of the North Star," one of Japan's most charismatic works, have come together in a very unusual collaboration.

The impetus for the project came from the very first word "fist". And the character Kyogoku Makoto, who makes his first appearance in the "Detective Conan" movie this time. The original author, Gosho Aoyama, admits that "Kyogoku is so strong that he is in the wrong manga" and is the strongest karate fighter with 400 undefeated fights. The "Fist of the North Star," which boasts of Kenshiro, a master of the Hokuto Shinken, was the one that offered the collaboration, which was miraculously accepted, and a very unique tag team was realized.

The collaboration movie and collaborative illustrations were created as part of this project.
The collaboration movie is narrated by Akira Kamiya, who has breathed life into Kenshiro, as Kenshiro. The movie is narrated by Akira Kamiya, who has brought Kenshiro to life as Kenshiro, and is accompanied by the heroic action of Kyogoku Makoto and Mouri Ran in the movie, "Atta-ta-ta-ta-ta! and his Hokuto Hyakusai Kenshi yell. The "Hokuto Hyakusaiken" is a complete and utterly original expression of the "Hokuto", from the decisive line "You're already dead" to the final "Hidetubu! the world of "Fist of the North Star" is completely fused into the world of "KONSEI NO KEN" in this shocking video.

The collaboration illustration also marks the first time that Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuo Hara, both manga artists, have teamed up.
To commemorate the collaboration, the two artists have drawn a lavish "commemorative color paper" featuring Kenshiro and Kyogoku Makoto, who are recognized as the "strongest" in each other's works, facing each other, while Conan and Rin look on.

Hara said, "I want to learn how to do riddles from Aoyama," and Aoyama said, "I think Hara is the one who created the basics of the kenpo style!　I want one! I want one!" Mr. Aoyama looked at the finished colored paper and seemed impressed. Mr. Hara commented, "Mr. Aoyama drew the body first, so it was a big problem (lol).

A rare making-of video showing the "fist fight" between the two manga artists of "Detective Conan" and "Fist of the North Star," both of which have left their mark on Japanese manga and anime history, has also been released, so be sure to check it out.
