Is Hasegawa a cold man like Gendo, is he driven by grief, or is he warmer and more likeable? Oni gives us almost nothing to go on, but it's difficult not to picture him as at least somewhat like Gendo Ikari, considering the connection the characters have. | These similarities could seem like a coincidence, but both Brent Pease{{ref|[http://oni.bungie.org/special/part1/brent.html Bungie.org, "Interview with Brent Pease"].}} and Hardy LeBel{{ref|[http://oni.bungie.org/special/part3/hardy.html Bungie.org, "Interview with Hardy LeBel"].}} stated that Evangelion was one of their favorite anime.

For some other minor similarities between Oni and Evangelion, see [[Deadly Brain]] and [[{{C13}}]]. Below we consider the relationship between Gendo and his son as a possible influence for Mai's relationship with her father in [[Oni 2]], should he appear. | |||
