The similarities are so striking that in the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, there is a monster with the same power as an enemy from the first season of Chainsaw Man, momentarily making me question if they hadn't defeated that monster already. However, I quickly realized they were different anime, though the similar animation style adds to the confusion.
