Raoh, Souther, and Zeus

Description

Yep. This is another comparison meme I whipped up concerning not two, but three look alikes. Two from the anime Fist of the North Star, and one from a lesser known video game that I used to play years ago named World Heroes 2 Jet, created by SNK Playmore. Roah and Souther are two of the main villains from Fist of the North Star, and are two of Kenshiro's rivals. While Zeus is the final boss from World Heroes 2 Jet, which is actually the third game in the World Heroes series of fighting games. When I made this connection, I was surprised to at the resemblence these characters share with one another. If you remember reading my review of the World Heroes series, you may remember that I stated that Zeus bares a strong resemblance to Raoh. But now that I think of it, he kind of looks like a cross between Roah and Souther. And mind you, Fist of the North Star came out in the 80s. While World Heroes 2 Jet was released in 1994. So I take it that SNK borrowed some influences or even payed homage to Fist of the North Star when they created Zeus as the final boss. After all, franchises tend to borrow influences from one another.

Raoh and Souther belong to Tetsuo Hara and Toei Animation.
Zeus belongs to SNK Playmore.

Somebody at SNK was Fist of the North Star fan.  I hope they make another Fist of the North Star Game, but one done properly as much as I enjoyed the Ken's Rage games, they were for the most part shallow fan service.
