Line 43:
* 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]{{broken link}}.
* [[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]].
