Is there a correlation between these two characters? I was wondering if the
same illustrator drew both characters or if perhaps one of them was sort of a
homage to the other. [![enter image description

Is there a reason Gotou and Menthuthuyoupi look so similar?


I am just referencing [nhahtdh's
comment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/25883/is-there-a-reason-
gotou-and-menthuthuyoupi-look-so-similar/27893#comment36014_25883) as the
answer since it seems he does not want to post it as an answer.

But the reason that there could be similar character design in two different
animes could be due to:

>   1. Author Influence
>   2. Limit in number of designs([birthday

>   3. Tracing(unlikely)

Actually, both characters are rather similar. They both were extraordinry
beings, created by not one, but multiple creatures. Both tend to find interest
in Humanity but wont lose sight of their goals, I'm sure there are even more
similarities between them
