I was looking at episodes of the original Dragon ball and stumbled across something that blew my mind.
You all remember Ginkaku and Kinkaku right? The characters who seemed straight out of a filler dropped in the middle of the shinobi war. Well they were taken straight out of a filler episode.
DB episode 79:"Kinkaku and Ginkaku's Man-Eating Gourd" / "Terror and Plague"
Transcription: "Kinkaku · Ginkaku no Hito Kui Hyōtan"

Their main weapon is a gourd that traps a person inside. They had the same gourd weapon in Naruto.
Kishimoto is so unoriginal, he was copying Dragon Ball filler in his grand finale war. Not even good filler. The kind of filler no one remembers unless they stumble across it bored on the internet.
