Yoshihiro Togashi’sHunter x Hunterremains one of the most popular adventure Shonen series that features the layered and heartwarming tales of its characters. A long list of interconnected characters paves the path for subplots, which again intertwine with the bigger picture. Thus, showcasing a collaborative and dynamic storyline.
The mangaka did not need thousands of episodes to showcase these qualities in an ever-expanding world. In just 148 episodes, he made the viewers a fan of his work, which even received a remake in 2011.
However, the series is not only infectiously popular but also heavily influential, where manga greats like Gege Akutami based his entire character list on Jujutsu Kaisen. Interestingly, he was not the only one because even Masashi Kishimoto has also created one of his most popular characters based on the show’s characters.
Masashi Kishimoto Designed Tsunade Senju Based on aHunter x HunterCharacter
Masashi Kishimoto’sNarutois one of the most popular and iconic anime series of all time that has transcended the status of an evergreen classic. The series centers around Naruto Uzumaki, an orphan in Konohagakure, who dreams of being the Hokage of his village. Though the series would revolve mainly around him, it also features several colorful characters that play a major role in its story.
One such name is Tsunade Senju; she is one of the three legendary Sannins, excelling in medical ninjutsu and possessing superhuman strength. Moreover, after the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi, she became the village’s 5th Hokage. With a tragic backstory and playing a major role in the Ninja War, she is indeed a popular character in the franchise.

As a result, among the many characters, she was also one of those characters who made her return inBoruto: Naruto Next Generations.However, much to the contrary belief, the legendary Sannin is not an original character.
A fan page (@kilua0uchiha) shared a thread post on X, where they stated that Lady Tsunade was apparently inspired by Biscuit Krueger; the reason, both are 50-year-olds and they can transform their bodies to make themselves look younger.

While it was surprising to theNarutofans,JJKfans would go silent because Gege Akutami based their series’ entire character line-up as well as some core concepts fromYoshihiro Togashi’smagnum opus.
Gege Akutami Decided to Base His Magnum Opus onHunter x Hunter
In the new-gen,Gege Akutami’sJujutsu Kaisenhas received the most hype. The series featured Gojo Satoru, the most popular character of the series, who is the bearer of one testament thatEiichiro Oda would avoid in hisOne Piece.
The same thread featured that young Gojo resembled Killua; even Sukuna and Gojo’s outfits during their battle were inspired by Gon and Killua’s outfits. However, that was not all because Aoi Todo losing his arm reminded Otakus of Netero vs. Meruem.

While fans thought that taking direct inspiration for the scenes was a thing, what felt like a blow from the hammer was when the thread stated how Nen and spiritual energy have a ton of similarities, alongside Black Flash being a copy of Gon’s Jajaken.
Naruto andJJKFans Are At a Loss of Words
The fan page featured a ton of threads that have directly inspired both series a lot. The ardent followers of both shows were at a loss for words because they took immense pride in how their work was original characters and moments that have shaped the anime industry.
As they saw that their beloved works’ characters and concepts were taken fromHxH,they left their opinion in the comment section of the post. They commented,
How to make a succesful manga is to copy hxh
I was expecting way more jjk references, could make an entire thread by itself
No cmon go among all the anime released at the time 1999 hxh is the most original, it is not inspired by anything
Bleach fans might be crying in corner after seeing this
JJK really just rebranded characters from HxH and didn’t even try to be subtle about ithttps://t.co/egpncFYDtA
Though the two series have based their characters and iconic moments from the 2011 show, there’s no denying that all three of them have played a key role in featuring moments that have forever been etched in the minds of the viewers.
