I didnt say that HxH was copying anything, just that it doesnt do anything that I havent seen before. It was 2018 I think when I was watching it so my memory is hazy, but I remember thinking that the way that the fights were written reminded me of pre-Shippuden Naruto. Nen seemed to have a lot in common with the way they used Chakra in Naruto. I know that HxH came out before that though. And the original Adventure of Dai was from the 80s, right?

"Generic" implies that it is copying something as opposed to being a trend-setter/original.

And yeah, Dai is late 80's (though more early 90's). Though where Dai was generic back then HxH was unique, hence why it was such a landmark title at the time. It is the starting point for lion's share of Shounen tropes.
