** The series takes quite a bit from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', namely having a hero team composed by a lazy student with green hair (Yusuke Urameshi/Ko''suke'' ''U''ek''i''), an hyper girl with blueish green hair (Botan/Ai), a headband-wearing lancer with a weird eye and metal weapons who was a former enemy (Hiei/Sano), a long-haired, relaxed strategist with a purple color scheme who uses small beads or seeds and was also a former enemy (Kurama/Rinko), and a bruiser with a rash personality orangeish hair (Kuwabara/Soya). It is also possible to compare Robert's Ten to the Sensui Seven, particularly due to Robert's and Sensui's pasts.

**One can argue, talking is still holding one's breath. You aren't inhaling, are you? It's obvious Sano further mastered his power past episode 2 (where he was explicitly shown HOLDING his breath in comedic fashion), but later on, he can talk and still use it, implying he's learned to control his breathing far better. He is also shown gasping for breath at the end of the Matthew fight.
