For those who don't get it I am talking about the Kyoani attack. The arsonist attacked the anime studio because he believed they stole his idea and used it in this anime. For more about it

I thought he also claimed there was one scene in Free! and one in K-On! that plagiarized elements from his novels.

I stumbled upon the same video and came to here to check her claims were true and anyone else was talking about this anime in connection with the events.
I think it's just sensationalism on the youtuber's part.
Like yeah, this was the most recent instance of perceived plagiarism by the perpetrator, but he didn't commit the crime until 6 months later.
Was it this scene that triggered him, or was it the accumulation of all scenes and this was just the tipping point?
I haven't followed the details from the trial, but I suspect the "Kyoto Animation employee" chat was the catalyst for his actions.

If anything, this crime shows what a devastating impact random online trolling can have. You have no idea what mental capacity the person at the receiving end finds themself in.
