The anime/manga called '''Trigun''' doesn't have much in common with [[Oni]], except for the fact that they both take place in the future in a world that is inhospitable to human life, there are two siblings with powers that separate them from ordinary humans, the main character has a transformation he/she can't fully control, and the main villain is | The anime/manga called '''Trigun''' doesn't have much in common with [[Oni]], except for the fact that they both take place in the future in a world that is inhospitable to human life, there are two siblings with powers that separate them from ordinary humans, the main character has a transformation he/she can't fully control, and the main villain is her/his brother who hates humanity and shares the same hair color…. | ||
Nevertheless those points are probably coincidental, because it's Oni's concept artist [[Alex Okita]], not the writer of Oni's story, who cited Trigun as an inspiration. Specifically, Vash's gun was an influence for the Campbell Equalizer as shown on {{SectionLink|Konoko's gun|Inspiration}}. | |||

Knives and Muro seem to have hatred of humanity in common, considering that at the end of [[Chapter 14]] Muro tells Konoko, "Join me or die like all the others, choking on dead air and foul water." Even though Konoko states before this that his plan is to gain power over humanity by offering the [[Chrysalis]] as their only escape from the [[BioCrisis|encroaching pollution]], Muro doesn't seem to care if they ever get one. Is he apathetic about the survival of the masses or does he actively want to exterminate most of humanity? Perhaps he fears that if anyone can get a Chrysalis and advance to the Imago form, he'll lose his physical superiority over humanity. Likewise, at the end of the Trigun manga it's revealed that Knives' primary emotion towards humanity is fear, not hate. | Knives and Muro seem to have hatred of humanity in common, considering that at the end of [[Chapter 14]] Muro tells Konoko, "Join me or die like all the others, choking on dead air and foul water."
