== [[Lyrical Nanoha|Lyrical Nanoha]] ==

* Signum from ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanonha A's]]'' is an obvious Expy of [[Super Robot Wars|Lamia Loveless]]: they look quite similar if looked through a good light, some of Signum's attacks are similar to those of Lamia's Angelg (Main offender is Signum's bow attack, which is a [[Shout-Out]] to Phantom Phoenix. Her clothing in the final episode of [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|StrikerS]] looks a bit like Lamia's, and they are voiced by the same [[Kaori Shimizu|Seiyuu]] in a very similar way.

** {{spoiler|From the most recent spoiler of the [[Darker and Edgier]] manga, apparently Signum was impaled (to death?) by a new enemy with her own Levantine. Which means it adds up yet ''another'' parallel with Lamia: Being beaten, defeated and presumably killed by a newcomer character, which would make the new enemy a female counterpart of [[Big Bad Wannabe|Wilhelm von Juergen]] (though probably with more [[Badass]] dosage)}}

** See also [[Amplifier Artifact|Agito]] from [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|StrikerS]], who is such an obvious expy that Western fans have taken to calling her [[Disgaea|"Etnagito"]]. Don't forget the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro and Char]] vibes Nanoha and Fate give off, either: Nanoha's costume is even intended to evoke Amuro's signature RX-78-2 Gundam.

** Subaru has short hair, wears a bandana, is a big fan of [[The Hero|Nanoha]], and goes out of her way to copy her techniques. That gives her a striking similarity to [[Street Fighter|Kasugano Sakura]]. Though the techniques is only in the name and instead looks like the features of ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'', leading to her [[Fan Nickname]] '[[GaoGaiGar]]-tan'

** Vita may as well be of [[GaoGaiGar|Guy]] in loli form. Not only do they both sport a [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|huge mech drill hammer]], but the scene where Vita went up against the Cradle's engine and Eisen shattered (complete with dramatic fall) resembled Goldy shattering and Gaogaigar falling in [[GaoGaiGar|FINAL]]. Vita's name is also involved with Hell and Heaven. (gemu giru gan go gufo, vita.) You also have [http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5430/vitaguy.jpg this].

** [[Anti-Villain]] Zest Grangaitz is pretty much a giant Expy of [[Super Robot Wars|Zengar Zonvolt]]. Not only do they look similar and share a deep sense of honor, their big-brother relationships to young orphan girls also plays out in many ways similar.

** Arnage of Huckebein. As a busty, tattooed [[Big Eater]] [[Fiery Redhead]] [[Genki Girl]] [[Dark Action Girl]] Girl With [[Gatling Good|Gatlings]] who favours skimpy clothing, specifically a tank top and short shorts, she hits the right notes to remind one of [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Yoko]], [[Black Lagoon|Revy]] and [[Team Fortress 2|the Heavy]].

** As shown in ''Vivid'', Olivie, the Sankt Kaiser, looked almost exactly like [[Fate/stay night|Saber]]. They are also similarities in their backstories, and that they are both considered legendary monarchs in the modern era.
