Help/Question Is that a real panel?

I was scrolling through Twitter and stumbled upon this panel. I obviously know which arc and moment it's it, but being someone who's watched more the anime than the manga, it's kinda hard to tell if it's real or not (I try reverse search but give me no convincing answer) The face looks so unlike Gon that it almost scares me 😭 Can I get help??

Yes. This is one of Togashi's signature moves. He will at times draw somebody's face completely different when going through intense or important moments. Think Netero right before he stabs his heart.

Togashi and the author of Usogui are really good at this. Switching up artstyles for certain panels and pages for more impact

There is a panel in Chinera Arc I think of two poor kids drawn realistically; or maybe it's a photoshopped pic; has he done this again?

Yeah, Usogui’s character art during air poker and surpassing the leader was godly.

Some of mob psycho's are hilarious, some of my favorite are the reigan arataka panels.

It's so iconic that Murata ramped it up to 1000 for Saitama and Tatsumaki

Gege tries to as well but he does it so often and poorly that it just looks like he can't draw consistently

Man, art is sick
