>>91813533I feel like some of this is stretching it. A lot.
Guts, up until 'recently' has been an asshat. He became less of an asshat after joining the Hawks, but then after their demise he became a SUPER DOUCHE. Only AFTER getting with his crew has he been a pretty cool bro.
Jack has just been great all around until shit happened, but he didn't become a shitlord, he just lost hope, but now he's got it again.
Jack is not on a one-man crusade to stop EVERY LAST DEMON belonging to Aku. His sole goal is Aku and he just keeps getting roped into all these little things. He really only gets involved with the baddies when they do baddy things. He's perfectly fine drinking in the same tavern until some bullshit happens.
The wolf being used as a spirit animal is the edgiest of edge. So much shit uses the wolf. It's so common place and cringe that it's hardly worth evidence to compare it to ANY OTHER IP.
Also, the trope of the ice-bitch becoming a cool-girl is also common as shit.
Really this all seems like grasping at straws.
