There should be rule, when anime charcters fight each other and they crush earth or other hard structers in to cubes, there is alweys some Minecraft reference like iron pickaxe or tiny creeper.
Yutapon cubes long predate Minecraft.

MAPPA, Pre-Animated Trailers, And Chainsaw Man's Example
North Americans know the pain of non-indicative trailers all too well. Teasers and pre-made material for series, pre-rendered and scripted video game trailers. It's very common to misrepresent media to potential viewers to get that edge.
I used to appreciate anime trailers for the purpose that they would stay largely truthful, if not pulling directly from, the anime that they were advertising. But MAPPA is making it a crapshoot now. Pre-rendered trailers seem to be their specialty as of late, and has been bleeding into the industry as a whole the last while.
Anyone remember the teaser trailer for A-1's Mashle trailer earlier this year? Was thrown together just for the announcement, and then subsequently used in further advertisements. Even recent announcements like the PV for Hell's Paradise have been entirely pre-animated.
Clearly, it's not just a MAPPA thing, but they're definitely the trend setter. Chainsaw Man being the egregious example of this. Cut material, totally re-animated sequences, even an entirely different feel. The trailer is nowhere near what the adaptation remains as, even when accounting for the trailer-specific scenes. In total, there's maybe 3 or 4 scenes that have seen minimal changes in regards to their animated format, if they weren't entirely removed in the first place, that is. So let's go in order.
⚠️Warning: Anime Spoilers Ahead⚠️
How about this scene, of the house being destroyed? A really full and stylized scene that makes use of Yutapon Cubes to give the destruction a very unique vibe. Totally changed in its episode in the anime.
(Top is trailer, Bottom is anime)
Or maybe, what about that Kon scene? It looks pretty cool and badass in the trailer so it has to be just as good in the anime, right? Right?
We can neglect the shift in detail (even though the CSM anime is meant to be highly detailed), but not even animating Kon biting down on Katana Man? It feels like fraud.
But hold on, there's got to be hope still, there has to be. What about the Eternity Devil chasing Denji and co down the hallway?
They looked at the trailer and thought, "Should we make it crazier, should we dramatize it more? Nah, let's make it slower!". Admittedly, the slow-motion is interesting and stylized, but it's in a vacuum. If you made me choose which scene was in the anime I'd choose the PV's version immediately.
So enough comparisons, what about removals/revisions.
This scene of Makima from the trailer is really cool, yeah? Very dynamic, very strong. Not in the anime. Instead it's replaced by static and slow cuts.
Well what about stuff from the fight scenes featuring the Bat and Leech Devils?
Nope, neither made it. The leech devil fight at the minimum being well executed, but how well can it be executed if half the moments are the MAD reel for the animator's previous work? It wasn't an homage to the Yuuji & Todo vs Hanami scene, it wasn't an homage to the Devilman Crybaby run. Keiichirou Watanabe animated both of those scenes in their respective series, and brought them back with Chainsaw Man.
Well, what about the scene that made the Chainsaw Man trailer so iconic on its release over a year before the anime started to air?
....well.
So yeah, the Chainsaw Man trailer that wasn't actually a trailer. Really, the first one in memory to be so egregious with its promises and presentation. Worst of all though, is the staff behind it not getting their credit in the community for this work. It's a great trailer, but one that at the end of the day entirely misrepresents what the anime actually is.
And it's started a trend. Hell's Paradise, Mashle, Kaiju No. 8. Series are getting announced earlier and earlier with visuals that are nowhere near indicative of the final product. They're PVs specifically animated for the art of advertisement and don't even have a shred of a guarantee that they will be similar to the anime itself. It's depressing, it's frustrating, and it's Dejva Vu.

Finished ROTMNT season 2. AAAAAH its so good. Lupin III is an anime that’s a cartoon and this is a cartoon that’s an anime. We got Yutapon cubes and the Umakoshi eye you guys. Can’t wait for the movie to blow my tits off. And again it sucks seeing the clear potential and intentions to further this iteration that are just...sitting there. If there is a chance of Nick or even *gag* Netflix furthering it then sign me up, if not well we can say despite its shorter length this was a great interpretation of one of the best franchises. Its easily the version with the best animation.

1) Yutaka Nakamura - research
Analyzing his visual style and work
Some of the distinct features used in his work includes action scenes, the use of impact frames, smoke effects, sparks, sword and motion blurs, martial art choreography such as kung-fu, wushu, camera shakes, fluid transitions, notable details of debris effects and yutapon cubes (ex. when something is exploding and it breaks into cube shaped debris and he uses this technique really well in a lot of his work.)
His visual style is distinguished by face paced movements and high level of intensity. He also uses another key principle that makes it really amazing and cinematic - contrast. He utilizes it impressively with the use of contrast of speed and contrast of scale. (ex. how he makes the background component bigger on a screen compared to the subject to make it look larger in size vice versa and contrast of the background moving much faster than the subject shown with lines of motion and blur to emphasize it)
His work has also been discussed in an animation panel focused on Japanese animators, called: "Yutaka Nakamura: Grandmaster Fight Animator." And one of his most notable animation works includes the last action scene in the movie “Sword of the Stranger”.
