No disrespect but this thread of critics is just like everyone else extremely shallow and ignores the actually theme of the show while incorporating the "troupes" inaccurately between the stories.
Let me explain how things differ correctly https://twitter.com/bigshnoody/status/1315505818851311618
First on the mc with a rival, asta and yuno grew up with a healthy relationship but in poverty unlike ichigo or naruto. Asta dealt with discrimination not because of his power, that belongs to something entirely but because he was a commoner with no magical abilities
Ichigo's inner hollow didn't know a thing about his mother, while Zangetsu did it was because of Ywach not him personally. Also neither had an actual goal like the amd does and couldn't afford to let their host die so that he wouldn't get killed afterword.
Also his powers didn't want revenge for killing someone they personally knew and were still his power Not to mention the point of ichigo was to understand his being through his connections with the different elements presented in bleach so you're openly ignoring that theme too.
On the actual ritual yes its similar to when ichigo did bankai training but zangetsu was openly training him, the amd is trying to force asta to hate him unjustly because he's a devil and therefore be looked as evil but asta not wanting to discriminate judges him by his ki.
So while it is homage its no where close to a copy unless you're being shallow and ignoring whats presented in its originality. If you think I'm incorrect then lmk but otherwise accept where you being just like the nobles and royals and looking at the surface instead the depth.
