This eventually led to plenty of Chainsaw Man fans discovering Fuwa Fuwa Foof and jokingly calling it a "Chainsaw Man reference" or similar things for using "ChuChu Lovely", in spite of it coming out before Chainsaw Man even had its first chapter released.

This usually formulates to joke videos by Jakei herself featuring the two series, usually uploaded on April Fools Day. It has died down after a major falling out between the two creators.
Underverse is an anime.ExplanationFans have taken notice of Jakei's increasingly Animesque style, and over time literally everything from the soundtrack to the battle sequences to the openings borrow heavily from typical anime tropes and conventions. This lead to fans joking that Underverse is an anime. Best seen in XTALE 5, where Chara complains that "they're not in an anime", and literally every other comment is people asking if he's sure about that.

While in the episode this is to show his Character Development (as he previously despised being called Cross), Jakei tweeted a screenshot of that moment with a caption that said Trans people are valid, complete with the trans pride flag. So many fan artists started making art of Cross with the trans colours, and flag, often centered on this exact scene.
