More than just that, he has denied Perfect Blue had any influence what-so-ever with Black Swan, which is what caused people to raise their eyebrows -- especially given Aronofsky met Kon in person in the past so he would at least surely be aware of his films to some degree.

Looks like the anime refs are overt, if this review is any indication. https://www.timeout.com/movies/creed-iii-2023

It’s something a lot of critics have picked up on. Jonathan Majors also said in an interview Jordan showed him Kakashi fighting Obito to help demonstrate the dynamic he was going for.

It’s also getting pretty good review across the board, so I guess it’s working.
