So I did some quick eye to eye comparison using your pictures (Unfortunately I can only extract the jpegs from that website).
The blocking artifacts from Thz.la are just way too much for my liking, I'm not sure if this is because of the aforementioned filter, lower actual subsampling than the supposed 4:2:0 (Often visible during the intro logo/title scene), or simply the fact that only 1 ref frame may be insufficient in basing the next macroblock. This can only go worse in sex scene given that theres more motions involved compared to this scene
Combined with the tearing, it turns the DMM watermark barely readable.
Thz also seems to have more ringing artifacts visible in the sofa embroidery and her costume sling

Interestingly I observed the same microtear in the edges of the sofa padding, this could mean Thz just reencode the myhd with some filter or colour adjustment (So far, I dont think Thz is actually ripped, unless they really botched up the reencoding) or the tearing is from the original studio release.

Myhd1080 on the left and Thz on the right. The picture is 400% upscaled using nearest neighbor since I just want to show the actual zoomed in representation. Bear in mind the default gpu-hq profile of mpv player is using spline36 for scaling.
