Captain Ersatz: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime & Manga ==

** [http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/8431/ayanamis.jpg What Measure is a non-Ayanami]?

** There also are several Asuka Langley Soryu knockoffs (such like ''[[Dancougar Nova]]'' main character). Asuka herself is a ''[[Great Mazinger|Tetsuya Tsurugi]]'' Captain Ersatz.

* Early translations of [[Lupin III]] had to change the main character into an Ersatz because the original author had never asked permission to create a character based on [[Arsène Lupin]]. He would be called "Rupan" or "Wolf" or, in the French version, "Edgar of Burglary."

** Just like in the literature example below, Lupin III was forced to face off against "Herlock Sholmes III."

* ''[[Lost Brain]]'' has Rei Hiyama, a top student, bored with the world who comes upon a power of some kind and uses it to control and kill people in order to create what he considers an Utopia, where his will is the law. Also ends up playing [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] against an opposing [[Chessmaster]] who is leading the effort to catch him. Very similar to ''[[Death Note]]'''s Light Yagami.

* In ''[[Guilty Crown]]'', there is an [[In-Universe]] example. Shu is similar to Gai, he wants to be, and Inori is similar to Mana, {{spoiler|Shu's older sister gone mad. She even looks like her, and is an [[Artificial Human]], and Mana will be reborn in her body.}}
