The recipe

Prompt

Model: GPT-5.4 Image. Create ONE full-color Japanese shonen battle manga page. Style: Japanese shonen manga in full color; bold, confident black ink linework with varied line weight; vivid cel-shaded coloring with soft gradients; extreme dynamic camera angle, heavy speed lines, debris and impact effects. Dark ominous palette with crimson and black ink splashes. Format: single portrait page, 2:3 (1024x1536). ONE full-page splash panel, no other panels. Lettering: sound effect only, in huge bold stylized English letters spelled exactly as written. No speech balloons, no other text, no Japanese text, no page numbers, no watermarks. Setting: DUSTON village square under a dark sky, a wooden fence in the background. Characters (keep designs exactly as described): - YAMATO: 15-year-old boy, lean athletic build, spiky orange-red hair sticking up, small bandage on his left cheek; patched, tattered red hooded cloak over a sleeveless dark-brown tunic, beige cropped trousers, cloth-wrapped forearms, worn brown boots; cheap wooden sword with a cracked blade and a cloth-taped hilt. - BLOT BEAST: a house-sized four-legged beast made of dripping glossy black ink, with glowing crimson slit eyes and no other facial features. Scene (full page): The BLOT BEAST swats YAMATO with one massive ink paw. YAMATO is blasted backward through a wooden fence, splinters and ink spraying everywhere, his red cloak whipping, his wooden sword spinning away in the air. The beast towers in the foreground, its crimson eyes glowing. Show the overwhelming difference in size and power. SFX across the page: "KRA-KOOOM!!"
