In many scenes of _Monogatari_ series, sometimes a character's art style
changes because they were acting like other anime characters. Examples are
given in the images below.

Are these scenes described in the original source (light novel) when their
faces changed into other anime/manga characters? For example, when Araragi
(left-bottom image) said:

> I didn't fail to pay it!

he is parodying _[Kaiji](http://kaiji.wikia.com/wiki/Kaiji_Itou)_ 's face from
the anime _[Kaiji: Ultimate
Survivor](https://myanimelist.net/anime/3002/Gyakkyou_Burai_Kaiji__Ultimate_Survivor)_
:

[![Kaiji
Itou](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6xZp4.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6xZp4.jpg)

Then does the light novel have a passage like this (for example):

> "I didn't fail to pay it", while my face turned into Kaiji's serious look.

or were these scenes originally made just for the anime version?

The reason why I think about this is that there is a scene in _No Game No
Life_ that matches between the anime and light novel like below:

> **" I refuse!" Blurting out these words caused her eyes to widen in
> response.**
>
> "Could you...... tell me your reason?"
>
> "Hehe, that's because....." Sora hugged his little sister who was watching
> with an expression that could not be discerned.
>
> "One of our most favoritethings for 『 』 is—"
>
> **" Standing in a position where the opponent has an advantage and denying
> it with a 'NO' !"**
>
> Shiro combined together. Originally unclear of the plot, Steph and Kurami
> could not arrange this reasoning properly. Only looking at the excited
> siblings while feeling stunned.
>
> **" Wahaha! 'I always wanted to try and say the number four lines[19] ' —and
> I really said it out!"**
>
> ".......Nii, nice, good job."

It's similar to the anime version. They also made this scene which is
described in the light novel. (Sora said a phrase which originally came from
_[Kishibe Rohan](http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Rohan_Kishibe)_ 's statement, a
side character of _[Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is
Unbreakable](http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Diamond_Is_Unbreakable)_.
