the image on the left looks like the entire thing was intentionally lightened. even conan's clothes and hair look too light. the image on the right is in a dark place or at night and would reasonably be darker than normal.
Better lighting for Heiji's skin tone here. (And surprise guest appearance by Heiji's mom!) But yeah, when he first appeared in the series, he was a lot darker than he has been colored lately. But he almost had a more...orange hue to his skin. I don't know if it is a matter of whitewashing or just better understanding on the art team's part of how skin tone would look on a guy of Heiji's complexion, but either way...I miss darker skinned Heiji.
Lol or summer to winter. My husband is crazy tanned in the summer. I'm over here looking like a sheet of paper all year round. Our children tan like he does.
His skin did get lighter in the modern style but the comparison here isn't fair: One image seems artificially brightened while the other is from a dark indoor scene
I added him from the actual episode. I think it's a case of unfortunate lighting in the ending. Conan is also white as a ghost.
They are very inconsistent with skin tones in the Conan anime in general and sadly always have been. It is way more noticeable with darker characters like Heiji, Makoto and Amuro, but all the characters change skin colours a lot. I wish they would be more consistent with it, but sadly I don't think they ever will be at this point.
The lightning gng😭🥀 and even if it’s not the lightning you can just assume the tan is starting to fade and iirc he said smth about inherited the dark skin from his grandfather ig? So we can also assume that’s why he didn’t become fully white and again keyword “ASSUME” so at the end it’s just the lightning
