is gin ichimaru a rip off of sojiro
gin ichimary from bleach has a lot of characteristics similar to sojiro from rurourni kenshin. first off the cold smile, no hesistancy in killing, speed, hair colour, hairstyle and not being specially conspicuous or thought of as super pwerful. both listening to their master{aizen and shishio} completely loyally and both comitting acts of cruelty/murder on a whim. even their dress sense is a bit similar.
