An illustration featuring Kurapika, Artemis, and Sailor Mars posted on manga artist Yoshihiro Togashi's official X account has become a major topic of conversation.

The post reported progress on the manuscript for serialization, stating "No.430, character inking complete. Please wait for Jump editorial department's announcement regarding the publication schedule for chapters from 420 onwards." Additionally, along with the words "I'm receiving so much strength and encouragement from my wife," hashtags "#Artemis2" and "#ShiningTheater" were included.

The attached image vividly depicts Kurapika in a black suit and Sailor Mars holding an ofuda charm, both positioned alongside a giant Artemis placed in the center. Artemis is raising its right front paw like a maneki-neko (beckoning cat) and holding a koban coin inscribed with the word "gratitude."

The hashtag "#Artemis2" appears to express gratitude to NASA, following the recent buzz about an Artemis plushie being displayed in the control room footage of NASA's crewed lunar flight mission "Artemis 2." Meanwhile, "#ShiningTheater" refers to the experiential theater "Sailor Moon -Shining Theater Shinagawa Tokyo-," making this a post filled with love and respect for his wife, Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon.
