Talking about influences, stye, legacy, etc..
What do you guys consider each author's style? Areyou talking how they structure the stories? The art?
For example
@Tamil you mention that perhaps Kubo had an influence on Gotouge, and Kubo himself had a HUGE influence from Masami Kuruamda's works (Saint Seiya basically) I suspected this pretty much since Idk... 2005-ish, the Soul Society is pretty much the Twelve Houses arc in Saint Seiya redone in a more modern setting, Kubo Tite then confirmed that one of his biggest manga influences was Saint Seiya..
So Gotouge would have been influenced by Kurumada (perhaps even indirectly, perhaps Gotoge doesn't even know Kurumada's works).
I haven't read KnY but
this character always kinda resembled
Shaka to me.
I think the KnY character is a Pillar, Shaka is a Gold Saint (Basically Saint Seiya's pillars).
Anyway talking about styles, I think Oda's style is world building and leaving more mysteries than actually answering them.. Also he has a way to make the plot get a sentimental ending even after battles end.
Kishimoto I dunno, for me his plot structure was always about giving characters motivations/flashbacks during fights, I dunno if anyone here has watched/read Yowamushi Pedal but it's kinda similar in that they are in the middle of a super epic biking race and suddenly you get a flashback with said characters motivations.
As for Tite, as I said he pretty much copied Saint Seiya's formula for a new generation, but added some cool plot mysteries in Soul Society. His style is also kinda reminiscent of Saint Seiya, not in a very intuitive way, like they draw nothing alike, but the way both Kurumada and Tite draw each character's actions (Big cool looking poses, little dialogue, big emphasis on the characters sometimes without backgrounds..) BTW Takeshi Konomi of Prince of Tennis pretty much also kinda got influences by Kurumada's Ring Ni Kakero.
Horikoshi.. I'd guess was perhaps influenced by Oda in the art style and maybe Naruto in the plot? Seems like MHA is a mix of both to me.
Those are the WSJ artists that I remember right now, obviously Hokuto No Ken had a huuuuge influence on titles from the 80s, e.g. Jojo, then Jojo had huuuge influences on other titles like Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh! etc.. So it's kinda like a baton pass in a sense.
