I don't know whether this is suited for Theories or the DS Board so feel free to move it if it's not in the right place. Anyway I was just searching for Byrne cosplay examples to help me with my own that I'm currently making and I came across a character named Byrne Faraday from Ace Attorney. Not being a big anime watcher, I figured I'd look him up and I noticed that he and Byrne from Spirit Tracks have a lot of similarities in their looks like the ponytail and the handkerchief they wear around their neck. Yeah, I know it's only two things.

I just thought it was a little funny. Do you think this is coincidental?
concidental , of course. a lot of anime characters are sharing few similar characteristics...
I can't believe I don't remember seeing this topic. :O
I also think it's a coincidence, but I must also admit that I, too, instantly thought of Spirit Tracks when Byrne Faraday popped up.
Ah, magmafire , you didn't see this topic, but forum pet, bot called BruceM saw it :D
Ok, spirit of Zelda is older, one of, Byrne Faraday is another...but it was more similar characters even before spirit track and after Byrne.
But, I must agree with you: this is too much similar :)
Hurray!!! I was wondering when someone would reply to my thread. :D I figure it might be a coincidence, but it's possible that the creators of Spirit Tracks wanted to make a character resembling Faraday.
