Yu Hakusho Chrono Connection?

Who else thinks that Schala looks like the Grim Reaper?

The Yu Yu Hakusho TV series and Chrono Trigger were in development in the same year; '92, but the Yu Yu Hakusho manga started in '91. I wonder if Boton was an inspiration? There's also the "spirit egg" which very much resembles the Time Egg....

Very suspicious. 8)

Curious.

Wow, they both even have the same baggy clothes.  It is definitely a possibility that she was the inspiration for Schala; a lot of game designers do this to pay homage to popular shows and stuff.

In episode 2 there are a pair of girls who look uncannily like Marle and Lucca.

They're Keiko's friends. They only appear twice in the whole series, though, and the resemblance is not as clear-cut as Botan's is with Schala.

ARE WE TALKING VAGUE REFERENCES TO CHRONO TRIGGER?

Vivi from One Piece was very Schala-like in appearance for a while. Link is fanart, I'm having a hell of a time finding a screenshot of her.

LOL... I find this highly amusing, especially since I love YYH as much as I love CT.

Perhaps it's true - the designers of the game could be secretly YYH fans...  :D

[21:03] <Magus> simply by the title, "Yu Hakusho Chrono connection?"

Well, if SE complains about my characters in my fiction resembling Schala, I can say "big words for a YYH fan"
