** Ruu Ruu is ''basically'' Ymir with a different name and species: Both have curls. both belonging to a child-looking species (Halfling and Dwarf, respectively) and both uses axes as weapons: The only thing that makes Ruu Ruu different to Ymir is the fact she have a dog tail and her dressing style.
** Celestine from both Alleyne (being an elf) and Melpha (looks and role)
** Volt, the leader of the titular Kuro Inu (Dark Dog) army is basically [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts with a beard]], with ''Griffith's'' personality. Not to mention his name could be an allusion to the fact Guts is normally associated with dogs.
* Sieglinde Jeremiah from ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid'' has a very strong resemblance with ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'', thanks to her long black GirlishPigtails and black outfits. Both, her leisure suit (which has a hood) and her Barrier Jacket resemble Black Rock Shooter's outfit.
** Translators made a joke about that: "'I am not Black Rock Shooter ;_;'":
--> '''Victoria''': "Hm? Wrong series? Are you lost?"\\
'''Victoria''': (''to a running Sieglinde'') "Don't get lost again anymore, okay?!"\\
'''Sieglinde''': "I wasn't lost!!"
** Alicia from both Leina and Elina.
** Kaguya from both Tomoe (personality and the fact she's also a {{Miko}}) and Menace (looks).
** Claudia from Claudette, up to being redhead.
** Origa and Cloe from both Echidna and Irma, in terms of closeness, except they're both Dark Elves, compared with Irma, who is human in QB.
** Maia from both Risty (looks) combined with Irma's fighting style (except she use swords than knives)

Deleted line(s) 39,42 (click to see context) :
* ''VisualNovel/PrincessLover'' has Sylvia van Hossen, who is almost a complete clone of Saber of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Even to the point where several fans thought it was her until she was named. The only difference between them seems to be their backstory and Sylvia's much bigger breasts.
** It's not just Sylvia. Charlotte is an Ilya clone, Yuu is heavily based on Sakura, and Seika is a copy of Rin. In fact, it would be safe to say that every character in this anime has drawn inspiration from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky'' has been accused of this, what with most of the cast strongly resembling ''Manga/KOn'' characters, plus [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei]] / [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Nagato]].
* ''Anime/TenchiMuyoGXP'' has Seiryo Tennan and Amane Kaunaq who are a ShoutOut to Tatewaki Kuno and Akane Tendo of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', including the obsessive stalker-violent tomboy childhood "relationship" to one another.
