Trigger/ Cross/ RD similarities in the outside world?
« on: June 22, 2011, 03:57:31 pm »
While someone was streaming some old classic episodes of Dragonball ( Harmony Gold dub, yes Bulma was Lena and Goku was Zero...which I first thought of the maverick hunter. ) on 4chan, something startling came across me. I can't recall the release of Cross ( 97, 98 or 99 ) but an identical scene that was either coincidental to fans of Toriyama or it's just part of a grasping scene. In the picture, you see Kid staring at the horizon beyond the seashore whereas Bulma/ Lena ( her voice was pretty good too ) stands by some alcove watching the sunset.
Similarities are the posture, the hair, and way they're looking. anything else similar to the series outside the games like references?

It's a generic scene that you see a lot in Japanese/East Asian media. I doubt it was intentional.

EDIT: After all, Toriyama didn't even do the art for Cross.

Chrono Cross was released in 1999 in JP and 2000 in NA.
