If these Chaika gifs and images are what I think they are, it mainly seems to be a coincidence.

It's common that people with a similar interest share other interests as well. The context might also have something to do with it, as using fairly brutal death scenes from animes is common for the whole "Dark Souls is hard" thing. It's almost guaranteed that Chaika depicts something that can be put into a Dark Souls context.

Remember that artwork, discussions and screenshots are all fan-made, and it's unlikely that a company would make official content out of gifs, that are copyrighted no less. Just because people talk a lot about a certain topic doesn't mean it will affect said topic.
