** With the reveal of Tearju Lunatique as Yami's creator, this verges to being [[Alternate Universe]] versions rather than [[Expy|Expies]].
* Mutsumi Saburo/Mutsumi Hojo from ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' is kind of a sendup to Kaworu Nagisa from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', to the point of having (decorative) {{spoiler|wings on his back}} for his first appearance in the manga, and his "introduction" scene in the anime mirroring {{spoiler|Kaworu's reveal as an angel}}, complete with [[Shout-Out|Beethoven's Ninth Symphony]] playing in the background.
* Signum from ''[[Magical Girl 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.
