History YMMV / AlbedoBirthright

* HilariousInHindsight: Regarding the similarities with Creator/YoshikiTanaka's ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', Creator/SteveGallacci originally planned to end the story with [[spoiler:a KillEmAll ending, something that he ended up changing his mind later on, and he went to the [[EverybodyLives opposite direction]]]]. On the other hand, the novel version of ''Arslan'' was infamous for doing the opposite, and [[spoiler:the novel ended with most of the main characters, Arslan included, dead]].

** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And finally]], unlike Arslan, [[spoiler:Alfon and almost all his followers survived at the end of the story. [[KillEmAll The same cannot be said about his human counterpart]]]].

* SpiritualAdaptation: A very curious one: If ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'' can be considered as the American equivalent of ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'', then ''Birthright'' can be considered as the Western equivalent of ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', except RecycledInSpace. Interestingly enough, both works were written by the same author, Creator/YoshikiTanaka.[[note]]According with WordOfGod, while he had heard about both Tanaka's works before and the Persian epic ''Amir Arsalan'', from which ''Arslan'' took inspiration from, he had never read or saw neither the novels nor he has seen any of its animated adaptations.[[/note]]

** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And finally]], unlike Arslan, [[spoiler:Alfon is the biological son of his father, compared with his human peer]].

** Likewise, the invaders in both stories, Ebontoa in ''Birthright'' and Lusitania in ''Arslan'', both want to conquer their enemies and take over their lands, but are treated differently in their respective stories. Unlike the Lusitanians, the Tosiu army has only a ''single'' named character, General Rau, who isn't given as much depth as his human equivalent Guiscard. Also, [[spoiler:Unlike [[TheStarscream Guiscard]], Rau, despite his position, is [[MyCOuntryRightOrWrong blindly loyal]] to his country, and he sacrifices his life for his ideals, [[DefiantToTheEnd despite having all the odds against him at the very end]].]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: Taking into account what Gallacci has said regarding the backstory of the comic, the main message of the comic is basically that the anthropomorphics are condemned to repeat the same mistakes like [[spoiler:their human creators]], no matter what. It depends now of the new protagonists to solve the whole mess their ancestors did in the past.

* SpiritualAntithesis: Just like ''Albedo'', the story bears a similar plot with Tanaka's ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', but that's when the similarities ends:
** Unlike Arslan, Alfon has a much small number of named allies, (besides his nameless allied soldiers, there's his girlfriend Jenna, his mentor Duwan [[spoiler:who gets killed at the first arc]] and much later, [[spoiler:the crew of the Winkles]]), compared with his human counterpart.
** In both stories, the protagonists' respective parents are kept hostages by the enemy invaders, but the way how they treat their respective offsprings is ''very'' different. In ''Arslan'', [[spoiler:his father, King Andragoras, [[UngratefulBastard exiles him after Arslan rescue him]]]], while in ''Birthright'', [[spoiler:his anthro equivalent, King Anton, is more than happy to see his son again after he freeds him with the rest of his family]].
** Likewise, the enemy invading forces in both stories, Ebontoa and Lusitania respectively, while sharing the same plans on conquering their respective main rivals' lands, had different goals on mind. Unlike in the case with the Lusitanians, the Tosiu army only had a ''single'' named character (General Rau), compared with their human counterparts, through Rau has a similar equivalent on Guiscard, who both share similar goals, even if Rau is more one-dimensional that his human peer. Also, [[spoiler:Unlike [[TheStarscream Guiscard]], Rau, despite his position, is blindly loyal to his country, and he sacrifice his life for his ideals, [[DefiantToTheEnd despite having all the odds against him at the very end]].]]
