Hi.

Let's be fucking blunt here.

There are no ripoffs of any character here. And if there is a "ripoff", it's most commonly called either three things: a Parody/Spoof, a Homage, or a Bootleg. Saying Dante is a ripoff of Inuyashu is like saying Goku is a ripoff of that monkey kid from Journey to the West. Goku is heavily inspired from the character, but he isn't a blatant ripoff. Oh wow, they have similarities in their goals and physical appearances, who is to think that it's a confirmed fucking ripoff?

Point here: '''Dante seems to have many connections and similarities to Inuyasha, but no way in hell is he a ripoff. When Dante grows cat ears and starts wearing kimonos 24/7, feel free to shoot me in the back of the head.'''

>It's the truth.

No, it's not the truth, it's you being an arrogant, stuck-up brat who thinks he's always right. But in reality, you're just a kid who doesn't even know how to differentiate a parody/homage to a blatant ripoff/bootleg. No, having a lot of similarities or connections doesn't make on a ripoff of another. Here, let me try to drill this through your deaf ears once again (or blind eyes, you can't hear on the internet):

Deadpool is clearly a homage, dare to even call him a "ripoff", to Deathstroke. '''Mercenaries? Check. Healing Factor? Check. Firearm lovers? Check. But there's a thing that differentiates the two: their personality. Deathstroke is more serious, analytical. Deadpool is batshit insane.''' It's what makes these two characters similar in the character build, but not the actual character that makes them seem more diverse and different than each other instead of being carbon copies with the same feats and so on (if that makes sense).

Dante and Inuyasha? Let's see what I got here:

Uh, they have a brother. Er, they're half demons I think. White hair and red clothes...

huh, that's all i can think of off the bat. looks like they have some similarities, but they're clearly different in terms of personalities and abilities as from much I've seen from DMC and Inuyasha alike.

'''Long story short, pull your head out of your ass and learn something Wolverine-Man. '''Keeping this up even when it's blatantly wrong/opinionated, being told to stop doing it in the process, but you keeping it up is gonna result in what? Use your brain this time... Correct! You'll get blocked for misconduct. Now I'm no admin, but I advise you stop doing this before it comes back to bite you. And if you come back with a sock even if you pass by my personal warning, that's going to hurt your reputation even more.

So, tl;dr, STOP. You and Bon took the words out of my mouth. Now time for my side.

Adding a ripoff to a character is like saying fuck this character for being inspired.

Deadpool is ripoff of Deathstroke? He is a parody. That's like saying Bill and Ted are ripoffs of Doctor Who, even though they are parodies!

Dante is a ripoff of Innuyasha? No he is inspired. They don't have the same personalities. Innuyasha doesn't have guns. I bet the creator of DMC doesn't even know who Innuyasha is! Or watches the show! Dante doesn't even has that dress thing Innuyasha has or has that long hair.

Albert Wesker is a ripoff of Wolverine? No he isn't. They barely have a connection at all. Both have healing factors? A lot of characters have healing factors.

SCP-682 is a ripoff of Doomsday? No he isn't. The only connection is adaptation. Screw the whole genetically modified thing. That's how monsters with those abilities are made in fiction. So it's common for that to happen in fiction or something.

Sans and Papyrus are a ripoff of Steak and Mr Goodheavens. No, they where inspired. Tell me when Sans wears a stripped shirt and Papyrus wears a suit. Steak is like a big ball of bones and is round, Sans is just chubby. Also Sans was kinda also inspired by the judge so he isn't a full rip off.

So respect the characters rather than calling them ripoffs. Just accept them. A lot of my OCs are inspired by characters. If wasn't for the characters I wouldn't have OCs. So yeah.
