In the latest episode, i'm sure everyone thought the same thing. How coincidental is it that "water" and "breating" is associated with swordmanship. And then afterwards, there are flashbacks, bittersweet music, and the empathetic MC being all sympathetic to the enemy when they die.

I don't know about you guys, but me, personally, i kind of wanted to watch a new show

None of those themes come from Demon Slayer. Heck, they didn't even originate in anime. They predate your genealogy tree by several generations.

Most shounen anime have the same themes or/and topics. This didn't copy Demon Slayer. L bait, next bad take when?

This is way diferent from KnY, at this point and maybe this whole first season will adapt the introductory part, and like in most shonen anime it could seem a little bit generic. The more it advance, the more we'll see the own line of Jigokuraku. I almost finished manga so I know why im telling.
Is Chainsaw Man overrated or just overhyped?

Yeah this episode was like a crossover of Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer. It's literally how Tanjiro would have been if he had to kill a Titan.

Hell no, "Water" can be seen as a state of mind and everyone "breathing", though Gabimaru may use some kind of fire superpower but nothing like KnY.

Every show can do this stuff, not just KnY.

Pretty much. It's part of marital arts and its related context. Demon Slayer just popularized it.

Not really, Kimetsu no Yaiba anime started on April 2019 while Jigokuraku manga started on January 2018, before the anime KnY was just a regular popular series selling 130k at best on Oricon, hardly any source of inspiration for other authors.

by this logic wouldnt it also be a copy of Naruto due to having ninjutsu?

also, just because one story has similarities to another (story, themes, power system etc) doesnt mean its not original. id say its harder to find a story that doesnt have any similaries to another in any way.

lastly, fighting styles are not the themes of either Demon Slayer or Hells Paradise. they are mechanics and/ or power systems. themes are the takeaways from a story. what is it trying to tell/ teach you.

I was going to argue, but then I saw that you have read two and a half centuries of manga, I suppose I have no business arguing with a higher level being such as yourself, as with that much experience in literature, your statements must unquestionably be taken as objective fact.

you can't copy a story that was superbly unoriginal to begin with.

how do you see this as a Demon Slayer copy? DS has such a mediocre story and has the same formula in every arcs

Jigokuraku goes completely different.....and it hasn't even started yet the MAIN ARC starts from EP7

Jigokuraku's manga is way better than Demon Slayer. Jigokuraku animated by Ufotable would blow Demon Slayer out of the water.

Using specific breathing patterns in order to bolster physical capabilities is not unique to Demon Slayer or even JoJo part 1-2.
Though, I'll admit, that it is very similar how both Sagiri and Tanjiro treat their opponent with no mercy, yet with benelovence by giving them a proper closure.

KnY manga almost got cancelled (thanks for Ufotable, anime increased the manga sale), so why other mangaka has to specifically copy something from the manga that almost got cut off?
Demon/historic/shounen is common theme for Japanese manga/anime anyway.
