Come on now, the hair style, the black hairband, the two fucking katana, the ever following avatar.

There are too much coincidences to be discounted.

>>14130761

Anon. Stop. There’s nothing happening.

>>14130761

>the two fucking katana

That's actually part of a fighting style Samurais had.

Coincidence discounted.

>>14130767

Why?

>>14130770

What about everything else?

>>14130761

>hair

Short.

>hairband

In style in Japan right now.

>two swords

No one else has ever had two swords. Certainly not the white-haired, two-sword wielding Geraldo Riviera or anything. WAIT A MINUTE

>avatar

Or one of those, either. Phantasy Star–as well as dozens of other Japanese series–hasn’t had them for decades.

Lurk more OP

>>14130761

>hairstyle

White hair is a very common design choice in nip media, usually meant reserved for mysterious or competent characters. Short bob is easy to draw and very common as well. The black headband is probably an attempt to differentiate the character from the other white-haired bitches in media. Avatars are common for protags.

>>14130777

Samurai would normally carry a main katana and a shorter wakizashi. They would normally use the wakizashi indoors or when one loses their katana.

>>14130792

>meant reserved

*reserved

HURR

>>14130788

>Short.

She can have a dyke cut, but both hair styles are similar.

>In style in Japan right now.

So just purely coincidence, never mind that Youmu's hairband was iconic for her and she was created in the early 00s.

>No one else has ever had two swords. Certainly not the white-haired, two-sword wielding Geraldo Riviera or anything. WAIT A MINUTE

Except Geralt doesn't have similar hair style and have a familiar.

>Or one of those, either. Phantasy Star–as well as dozens of other Japanese series–hasn’t had them for decades.

Most jap protags do not in fact have some sort of familiars following them day and night.

It's time to move on, Tetradev.

>>14130797

Don't think that dude even knows Touhou.

>>14130798

Your entire argument is based around hair and if they have something following them, anon. You’re retarded.

>>14130798

Having some sort of creature or object following you around is everywhere in nip media. Remember Navi? All the magical girl mascots? Some flying mascot creature is fucking everywhere in things the Japanese make. Granblue Fantasy has that small dragon thing. Almost any JRPG or JRPG-like-game has a mascot creature or object.

>>14130812

They are based on 4 points of contention actually.

- heir hair

- heir hairband

- the fact they carry two katana

- the ever-following familiar

>>14130834

There's a difference between having a mascot and a familiar that follows you everywhere.

The latter is not all that common.

Navi is a good example, but

I feel like OP is that one sperg that would constantly bitch about how Yoko Taro supposedly 'stole' his idea to make A Tomato. Next you'll tell us Metroid inspired Halo because the main characters wear heavy armor and shoot space aliens.

>>14130871

Nope, there's nothing that similar personality-wise between Youmu and 2B.

I'm just saying Taro might be inspired by Youmu when he thinks of 2B.

>>14130798

>She can have a dyke cut, but both hair styles are similar.

So… short.

>So just purely coincidence

Yep. Either provide proof or go sperg out somewhere else, you fucking plebbitor.

>Except Geralt doesn’t have similar hair style

It’s white. That’s similar.

>and have a familiar.

He has a horse. Checkmate.

>Most

Thanks for being an illiterate autist.

>>14130896

>So… short.

There are many short hairstyles.

>Yep. Either provide proof or go sperg out somewhere else, you fucking plebbitor.

My proof is the fact they have near the same hair style with hair band.

>It’s white. That’s similar.

No.

>He has a horse. Checkmate.

Roach doesn't Geralt everywhere.

>>14130909

>Two of which are exhibited in the OP.

Which are similar?

>So you have absolutely no proof whatsoever. Got it, thanks. Guess he was inspired by Haruhi, too.

Except Haruhi's similarities only stop at the hair style, the hairband is not the same either.

>It’s more similar than your “similarity.”

How? Youmu and 2B share the same hair color, hair style and hairband.

>And you don’t an argument.

How? The floating ghost sperm and drones actually follow Youmu/2B everywhere.

Roach stops if you go into building.

>>14130737

2B fair, the designs for both of them are very generic.

>>14130949

Find me someone else that look similar to them?

inb4 Geralt and Roach

>Weebshit looks the same

>Must have a connection

wew

>>14130923

>Which are similar?

lol you can’t read

>Except Haruhi’s similarities only stop at the hair style

Ah, so he copied Haruhi. Thanks for admitting it.

>the hairband

She has one. That’s copied.

>Youmu and 2B share the same hair color, hair style and hairband.

They don’t, in fact.

>Roach stops if you go into building.

And your Mag follows you everywhere in PSO. So?

>>14130954

Ciri looks similar. She’s a girl. And there’s porn of all three of them.

>>14130970

Ciri doesn't even look similar to Youmu and 2B though.

>>14130968

No, just a random guy who searches for Youmu porn then I just happen to see 2B and Youmu close to each other.

Though to be fair, some /jp/sie told me this before.

>>14130964

Actually they do have nearly the same hair style, hairband and hair color.

That's 3 strikes just from the head alone.

And no, Haruhi's hairband is not the same as them.

>>14130986

>Actually they do have nearly the same hair style, hairband and hair color.

So do Ciri and Geralt and Haruhi.

>>14130951

Wonder if he thinks there'd be money in introducing all the normalfags to touhou.

In any case, OP we can count more differences than we can simalarities. You said it yourself, they're nowhere similar to eachother outside 4 of your four points. Even if Yoko Taro had been "inspired" by Youth's design, it would have been a subconscious thing in conjunction with other characters and media. And at that point it may as well be a coincidence.

>>14131002

White hair, same hairstyle, two swords. They’re practically siblings.

>>14131005

I don't want to get autistic but Ciri only has one sword and neither of them have the same hairstyle.

>>14130995

The thing that makes me think is I'm not sure if this is Youmu cosplaying 2B, or 2B having a ghost drone.

They're both just similar amalgamations of traits considered cool or cute in Japan. One wasn't meant to look like other, they were just made to have the same kind of appeal.

>>14131008

>Ciri only has one sword

Look harder. On her hip.

>>14131030

Here are the deal: there are shitton of traits that can be found cool or cute in Japan.

The fact these characters manage to hit 4 points in similarity make me think it might not be a coincidence.

>>14131036

That's a knife.

She gains a silver sword in the ending but it's never shown using it.

>>14130954

Does Tetrachrome count?

>>14131042

What?

The Touhou fandom sure has become more and more autistic ever since HSiFS was released on steam

>>14131059

Wait, there's Touhou on fucking Steam now?

Either ways, the Touhou fandom has acknowledged these similarities way before I create this thread.

>>14131064

And her ghost is a sperm, so she's constantly seeing sperm.

>>14131064

>>14131068

All 2hu's are pure girls who want for nothing. Drop the slanderous lies.

>>14131078

Let's rev up the face that has seen men memes.

Oh man, first Yako Tarov rips off Tetrachrome dev from /agdg/, and now ZUN!

>>14131064

>Inserting your pig disgusting NTR fantasies into the 2hu

Fucking stop.

>>14131064

This is why secondaries are despised, you are everything wrong with the touhou fandom.

>>14131038

>4

Oh, never mind. I didn't realize you had so many. Stop being such a damn autist. It's coincidence, you're the only one here who thinks otherwise, and your arguments are flimsy. Correlation is not causation. 2B's designer may have seen Youmu and some point and later went "that's an appealing design, I'll do something similarly appealing", but there's no indication 2B was designed as a explicit reference to Youmu. Is Peach a direct reference to Sleeping Beauty? No, she's just designed to fit in the same archetype.

Also, you're ignoring the fact that half of your points are designed for gameplay purposes, in 2B's case, whereas Youmu's design is purely visible. 2B uses two swords because her gameplay revolves around switching between two weapons in the middle of combat. She has a robot following her around because it's used for ranged attacks.

>>14131111

All I want to point out is that maybe 2B design is inspired by Youmu is all.

>>14131127

What kills is me is that there's less similarities between that, and Youmu and 2B.

>>14131122

but it really isn't since Yokotaro stole the design from Tetradev

>>14131131

Yes, and this game was in development before Nier 2.

>>14131137

I don't see why it's not worth making a thread ever, friendo.

>>14131131

If anything, it's a copy of Hyperdimension Neptunia designs

>>14131148

Hmm, Date A Live and Neptunia have the same character designers, Tsunako.

But so much for tetradev claim of originality, his design is a direct rip-off of Tobiichi Origami from Date A Live.

>>14131145

>Origami is directly influenced from Youmu

If anything 2B ripped off Origami who then ripped off Tetradev. Youmu isn't a white hair anime robot, is she?

>>14131137

There's some fun to be had with it.

>>14130761

2B is a very very common look in anime and jrpgs. Same as the tall dark skinned chick with a big fucking spear.

>>14131161

This is /v/.

The only threads that even get made are shitpost threads, and the good threads all hit 300+ posts over the course of days. You have no excuse to miss a good thread.

>>14131166

Origami looking like Youmu has been an in-joke for years, they even have the same dorkly shy personality.

>Youmu isn't a white hair anime robot

But she's a white hair samurai girl, you know, what 2B also looks like.

You ever notice how Taro doesn't make 2B look mechanical in a glance?

>>14131161

Don't see what's so bad about this thread considering the qualities of other thread.

>>14131173

Except even in this thread, we have not been able to name a single 3rd character that shares these characteristics.

Even Tobiichi Origami, who was joked to be Youmu, only stops at the personality, white hair and hair band, oh and she uses a sword I guess, but a light saber.

>>14131184

>Except even in this thread, we have not been able to name a single 3rd character that shares these characteristics

I named one a while back

>>14131185

You mean this one? >>14131127

Tetradev rips off Tobiichi Origami, not Youmu.

>>14131194

Tetradev robogirl design doesn't even look like 2B either.

>>14131194

TETRADEV DID NOTHING WRONG

>>14131239

Actually, it might be a reference because Touhou is bullethell, and Nier also has bullethell elements.

>>14131239

A lot of those (not the models) are extremely tenuous and entirely come down to "she has the same hair". Long blonde hair is not something that Marissa created.

>>14131239

What's that anime with the diaper hat?

Because that's OG Touhou style nigger, you can't steal that.

>>14131278

You do know that's a real kind of hat that existed since at least the late 18th century, right?

>>14131288

I don't, in fact.

I thought they wear top hat or actual hat at the time?

>>14131194

That guy seems like a tremendous faggot. What's the drama behind his "being thrown out of /v/"?

>>14131294

It's called a mob cap.

>>14131302

>>14131321

Didn't know ZUN is a coinosseurs regarding european old timey hat.

>>14131239

The example with RWBY are really shameless rip-off since they are made from MD models.

>>14131329

You're a kid, aren't you? Your general ignorance and behavior strongly suggests you are.

>>14131338

Nope, I just don't know much about hats, especially old hats.

>>14131338

>a kid

Lol. Pretty sure he's just non-native English speaker.

Rather than stopping here, why don't you try to find as many similar looking characters as you can before jumping the fucking gun here?

You'd be surprised how many you could probably find.

>>14131329

>Old timey hats

Old timey pantsu, old timey tea, old timey dresses both easter and western, old timey legends. Zun clearly goes antiquing after 3 beers every weekend.

>>14131360

Please go ahead and name some.

>>14131363

Except those don't actually:

- use katana

- have a familiar accompanying all the time

>White hair

>Katana

>Tsundere

>Super hot

2B couldn't possibly be more of a cliche animu character

In my weeber days, i could have found at least 10 examples of "coincidences" as you call them

so what's next OP

are you gonna bitch and moan that Virgil is just Sephiroth with short hair and a blue trenchcoat?

>thread

>still

>up

>>14131375

Please name some characters that have:

- white short hair with black hairband

- uses two katana

- have familar following them all the time

I'm waiting.

The coincidences are just too much.

All I'll say is, I wouldn't be surprised if Yoko Taro was actually a Youmu fag.

>>14131384

>a girl with short white hair is tsundere who could have thought

>blind fold = ribbon

>hurrdurr muh specific number of Katanas as if it mattered

>A girl with a comedic relief mascot character following them around all the fucking time. Sure sounds like every maho shoujo ever made to me

saying 2B is a rip off is like saying Luke Sky Walker is a rip off of the "hero fo a thousand faces" or the MC of "the hero's journey"

creator use these cliches because people like them and the gilr posted in the OP is so generic and forgettable that i really do think this may have been just a coincidence

>>14131384

Fucking commit suicide, you autistic piece of shit.

>>14131371

Nigger fucking EVERYONE in nip media uses a kataner. If a main character in a Japanese story does any sort of combat, you can bet your ass there's a 99% chance that they use a glorious Nippon katana. If they don't, it's because they're not the main character and use another weapon to bring variety (such as in the case of Fie). Having some shit flying after you is common as well.

>>14131384

>The coincidences are just too much.

No, they're just fucking coincidences and as it has been pointed out to you several times now, everything about these characters is a common trait in fictional characters. At times you're going to end up with some similar ones. Especially, as I explained to your brain dead ass, many traits are matched to personality types. At this point I'm just going to assume that you're trolling rather than this fucking stupid. Also, a robot is not a fucking ghost. Are you going to tell me Link from OoT was a ripoff of [Insert shitty magical girl series] here because he has a fairy to match the stupid mascots? Hell, he even wears a skirt with nothing underneath like a fag and transforms into an older version of himself; clearly Miyamoto ripped off Prisma Illya.

>>14131448

Too much word, I just want some character names, man.

And no, Link doesn't actually use two katana, is a girl with short hair with hairband, yada yada yada yada.

>>14131447

>These are all traits

and all of them cliched

what you are doing is as retarded as Action Comics when they threw shit at Captain Marvel for being a Superman ripoff

>the fact they are both slender girls to boot

when have you ever seen a fat animu girl? outside of tumblr i mean

i look at your png and all i see are white hair gothic loli designs

of wich, i've seen more on animu than i can remeber

why don't you go to /tv/ to bitch about how Stalone is Schwarzenegger's ripoff?

>>14131492

The fact they are cliched or whatever doesn't matter, what matters is that somehow these two characters share these 4 traits, and that make them very similar, design-wise.

>>14131342

That's no excuse for just assuming Zun entirely came up with that kind of hat. That's a very simple kind of thought process.

>>14131346

It's not his English skills, it's his the way his mind works. He makes a thread just to point out something everyone on this board has already figured out on their own, more than likely seeking validation for his ideas. He thinks that a simple combination of a few character traits, that aren't uncommon in Japanese media, can absolutely not be just coincidence; it has to be some kind of connection. He just assumes a style of hat many 2hu's wear is an original creation of Zun, even though every character is designed in reference to various cultures and folklore. ZUN is suddenly significant for bothering to do some research into old timey clothing for his old timey characters. If he isn't a kid, his brain is certainly not winning any awards for functionality.

>>14131510

You are really over-analyzing someone who just happens to find a character look like another character.

sage

>>14131517

When you're responsible for nearly half the posts in the thread (which is significant, in its own right), it's hard not to pay attention to you.

>>14131501

no it doesn't i look at them and i see them as nothing alike other than the fact that they have the same hairdo as a millon more animu girls and the fact that they wield the same weapon as another millon more of animu girls

now tell me more about how Naruto is a Dragon Ball ripoff

>>14131559

Naruto is inspired by Dragon Ball, that is pretty much true though.

I came for porn, where the porn?
