To NoNick

Haha he has ripped a few things

Kagura is a complete copy of Ikaruga from Senren Kagura.

Flare is kinda copied from Kaorinite pale skin, red hair, their outfits, and hair manipulation as an ability

Gildarts looks exactly like Shanks

Kageyama is Shikamaru his looks, abilities, and color scheme.
