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; dynamic camera angles, speed lines and impact effects; expressive faces. Ominous dark palette with the hero's red cloak as the brightest color. Format: single portrait page, 2:3 (1024x1536), clean white gutters between panels. Reading order: left-to-right, top-to-bottom (Western comics). Lettering: all dialogue in English inside white speech balloons with clean black comic lettering, spelled exactly as written. Sound effects in bold stylized English letters. Do not add any other text, Japanese text, page numbers, or watermarks. Setting: DUSTON village square, under a dark sky, parts of the ground turned to blank white paper. Characters (keep designs exactly as described): - YAMATO: 15-year-old boy, lean athletic build, spiky orange-red hair sticking up, bright amber eyes, 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. - PIP: village boy about 8 years old, messy black hair, patched blue shirt. - TILLY: village girl about 8 years old, brown pigtails, yellow dress. - INSPECTOR GRELL: thin middle-aged man, pale face, sharp nose, sneering mouth, monocle; long black coat with parchment-colored trim and crimson ink stains, tall black top hat; holds a giant black quill like a scepter. - BLOT BEAST: a house-sized four-legged beast made of dripping glossy black ink, with glowing crimson slit eyes and no other facial features. Panel layout (5 panels): Panel 1 (top, full width): The BLOT BEAST raises a giant dripping paw over PIP and TILLY, who are frozen in fear on the ground. SFX: "GRRRRR..." Panel 2 (middle left): YAMATO leaps in front of the children, red cloak flaring, wooden sword raised. YAMATO: "Hey, ink-face!" Panel 3 (middle right): Dramatic close-up of YAMATO's fierce face and burning amber eyes. YAMATO: "Pick on someone your own size!" Panel 4 (bottom left): GRELL, standing on the beast's head, peers down with a sneer, his monocle glinting. GRELL: "And who might you be?" Panel 5 (bottom right): YAMATO jabs his thumb at his own chest with a defiant grin. YAMATO: "Yamato! Yamato... Nobody!" GRELL (small balloon from off-panel): "How fitting."
