Ripoff? No. Inspiration? Yes.
Doesn't change the fact that Sasuke is a much better written character than Kurapika Lol

THIS
I thought Ishida uruyu is quite like Sasuke...

Ishida Uryuu loses his cool a lot quicker than Sasuke. Sasuke is also much darker and much more willing to kill, not to mention Ishida isn't much of a loner.

Noriaki Sugiyama is voice actor of both Sasuke and Uryu lolz

Special eyes and murdered clans.

Yeah, Togashi pioneered both.

Sasuke is not a Vegeta.

Both are socially incompetent
Both are born geniuses who were outclassed by loser clowns at some point
Both have a lust for power
Both have had their family/clan erased, and while ultimately surpassing the killers in power, both were weaker than the killers during their confrontation.
Vegeta has even cried as many times as Sasuke(twice against Frieza)

Yeah I agree that he is mainly a Vegeta rip off. I was talking about his new design in the movie. I didn't expect so many people to get butt hurt over this topic

No, you don't agree since I wasn't saying that. I was just pointing out similarities between the two characters, Sasuke isn't a rip off of Vegeta as Vegeta certainly wasn't the first person to exhibit these character traits.

Vegeta is hotheaded, Sasuke isn't

Vegeta didn't have a brother or any other major influences in his later life before Goku, for that matter

Vegeta supports "restoring" his race, the right way

Sasuke's lust for power comes from his various goals, whilst Vegeta's comes from pride.

Vegeta aint a lil betch

Vegeta has a sense of humor, albeit crude

Majin Vegeta was amazing. I hear Akira had hopes that Majin Vegeta was supposed to ruin Vegeta's character. Ironically made him the best developed and deepest character in DBZ.

And the mangaka is a lazy old fool who plays RPG's all day and could give less **** about his fans :| ****ing Togashi man.

If he does so then I am glad, most mangakas have a crazy schedule and get little time for themselves

Well reason being because Vegeta is probably the only complex character in DBZ Lol everyone is pretty simple especially Goku. But yeah, Majin Vegeta is basically Vegeta going on a long overdue over emotional temper tamtrum where he is whining and complaining about his life and how he has saiyan pride all that nonsense where he basically crying over spilled milk at that point in his life. He mentions Frieza so he wasn't over him, he technically outlived his rival so he should be proud of that and he also has a son who can turn freakin' super sayian at a young age (even though it's BS) and he always talks about sayian pride, but I can never believe him when every time he encountered a sayian he tried to kill em'. First met Gohan and tried to kill him, First met Goku and tried to kill him, He killed Nappa and I know he didn't give no ****s about Radizt ass. If he really cared about his race pride he would try to build it back up and stop trying to kill all of them on sight. But of course this is my opinion :win:

They were the same when toriyama actually wanted to end the manga before Shonen jump made him keep going

Don't have a problem with mangaka taking breaks at all, they deserve every minute of it especially if they have families at home, buuuuutttt I think Togashi is abusing the hell out of this break thing. I don't care how good of a worker you are at a job when other people around you are working just as much as you and even harder (Hiro Mashima deserves credit) and you taking these breaks for almost an entire year and come back like nothing each time? Come on now, Togashi knows the manga business and how it works. He shouldn't have made HXH if he wanted time to himself, but then again how would he have bought all those Dragon Quest games? Huh, makes you wonder what he really in this business for nowadays.

On the second one, Vegeta and Goku were of the same race and he ranked Goku a low class like Bardock while Sasuke ranked his whole clan above others such as Naruto. Anyways Sasuke is a ripoff of Kurapika or do you not see Kurapika had his whole clan wiped out, they have special red eyes, their eyes were stolen, Kurapika goes emo if you talk bad about his clan, he's a genius, he's willing to go down the dark path to accomplish his goals, he distance himself from his friends, he chased a group of criminals. Sasuke have more compared to Kurapika than he does to Vegeta.

Anyways HxH was created by Yu yu hakusho creator who was inspired by DBZ. Naruto have things from both HxH and Yu yu hakusho. Hunter exam/Chunin exam, Ging/Minato, Kurapika/Sasuke, Hisoka/Orochimaru, Spider gang/Akatsuki,
