In addition, Doraemon's official X page also revealed that artist Rumiko Takahashi - author of Urusei Yatsura and Inuyasha - also participated in this campaign with a version of Doraemon with his own unique drawing style, continuing to excite fans.

One user commented: "Doraemon and Conan appearing in the same frame, what a childhood dream!" Another wrote: "I used to suspect that Conan was shorter than Doraemon (136cm), turns out it's true!".

Some humorous comments also quickly spread: "Doraemon looks more stylish than usual", "Why are Doraemon's legs so long?".

Gosho Aoyama's participation in this tribute project has special meaning, because Detective Conan and Doraemon are both "monuments" of Japanese manga, having contributed to shaping popular comic culture for many generations.
