A having worked as B's assistant doesn't automatically mean that A was influenced by B. If this influence was so clear, then one should be able to show it by looking at the works themselves.
Fujimoto's editor famously higher a lot of experienced assistants who were more skilled than Fujimoto to help with his serialization.

People would not give a shit about it if not for Anya
Also I just noticed that all these guys only made it because Jump+ has next to no competition or standards like Axeman would never make it in Jump given all the breaks he takes.

Endou's been around for much longer than all the others, though. Tista was published in 2007, almost a decade prior to Fire Punch. He's also worked for a long time as an assistant for a bunch of random people like Isayama and the author of Mx0.
he's a rich nepo kid who hires talented assistants and then slaps his name on their work until they 'earned their chance'
just look at how shit CSM part 2's art and writing is to see ACTUAL fujimoto instead of crutching on assistants

He made a bad shounen that had basic themes and some of the most obnoxious pseudointellectuals on the planet latched onto it because it was finally a work simplistic enough for them to comprehend, which gave them a big ego boost. Fundamentally, Fujimoto has always been an okay artist with bad writing. Even in his oneshot days. The dandadan artist seems to have itterly carried CSM on his back, furthermore.
