I do think that Not So Similar has to be intentional and not incidental. Did you bring this up in the "Is this an example?"
thread?

From Not So Similar:
These sound incidental as opposed to deliberate. Piccolo and Vegeta might count as they interact, but not sure if "Piccolo at one point has to explain Vegeta's own problems to him" is them calling out their differences. Goku Black and Turles seem definitely unintentional as the latter was only in a Non-Serial Movie around 20 real life years prior to Black's arc, so no interaction or reason to think it was deliberate.
Does Not So Similar require it be clearly intentional such those should be cut? It's counterpart Not So Different was renamed "Not So Different" Remark because it's supposed to be in-universe comparisons, so does/should that also apply to Similar?
