Regarding plagiarism, it might be the case. I could give an unpleasant example by saying that covers of songs are often better than the original, but I won't, as I haven't watched One Piece yet.
Moreover, they say that FT and OP are similar only in their art style; otherwise, the works are aimed at different audiences.
In general, it's difficult to judge such things. Perhaps the author blatantly plagiarized with a selfish purpose, thinking that such a character would definitely appeal to readers. Or maybe he was simply inspired.
I don't deny it.
The main point of this quote was something else.
Well, then I didn't quite get it.
I don't like this modern filmmakers' love for gore and dismemberment, but what can you do? It's the easiest way to create strong emotions, because not everyone has the ability to do it subtly.
I assure you, they do it not because they want to evoke strong feelings, but because there are people who enjoy this kind of thing. There are several projects that are built entirely on scenes of dismemberment, while being quite mediocre (if not worse) in other respects – Elven Song and Final Destination (at least, the fifth part), for example.
