![]() ![]() The Holy Grail War is waged by those seeking to fulfill their wishes by defeating the other participants. This anime from 2011 is based on the light novel by Gen Urobuchi and narrates the Fourth Holy Grail War events 10 years before Fate/stay night, serving as a prequel to it. The Fate series has extremely obvious parallels with Drifters, and the presence of important historical warriors and the survival game component are just the beginning. The only difference is that Gantz has a major focus on Sci-Fi and futuristic themes. In both anime, the survival game concept and an incredibly suffocating dark setting reign supreme. Kei and other recently deceased people are tasked with hunting down and killing aliens armed with futuristic weapons for their survival.Īs you can see, the similarities are striking. Gantz is an anime that revolves around Kei Kurono, a boy who is hit by a train and dies, but after his death finds himself in a perfectly healthy body and is forced to participate in a game-like competition. But hear us out, because they have many similarities. Yes, we know, Gantz is not even an isekai, unlike Drifters. The anime Gate is an excellent and underrated isekai that we highly recommend on this list due to its courage to take isekai themes and conventions and subvert them, creating something truly unique, much like Drifters. We are in a modern Tokyo, which one day is shocked by the opening of a mysterious portal from which all kinds of entities emerge, from knights to orcs, and even dragons.Īs a countermeasure, Japan decides to send a group of elite soldiers led by Youji Itami to the other side of the portal for a political negotiation, and in case it fails, the use of force. Gate bears a huge resemblance to Drifters mainly because of its setting, which is realistic and without major fantasy elements. In Re:Creators, the setting is less grim and the characters are fictional, as opposed to the real-life warriors in Drifters.ĭespite these differences, the two series are strikingly similar in many ways. Re:Creators feature strong warriors from various backgrounds who are recruited to fight in an intense war filled with twists and turns, with the prize being incredible powers for those who can survive.Īs you may have noticed, Re: Creators and Drifters have a partically identical plot, but they also have their differences. Re:Creators and Drifters share an extremely similar plot, but also have some differences. Later, he reunited with a fellow Imperial comrade and Drifter, Naoshi Kanno. Despite being the only surviving crewmember of the Hiryuu to have appeared so far, he was still considered to be a dangerous person by the Gu-Binnen rulers who were sought for Hiryuu's treasure trove of technologies and weapons. ![]() He introduced his modern naval innovations and strategies to the merchant nation which helped them defeated the Orte Empire and took control of the sea. He served as a Special Guest for the United Merchant Guild's Gu-Binnen. In Chapter 46, he is confirmed appeared as Drifter along with his badly-damaged aircraft carrier "Hiryuu" which is now beached on a small rocky island. It would suggest that the famous Japanese admiral is present in the manga. In Chapter 19, the Gu-Binnen Trade Federation attackers of the Orte's fleet shout "TORA TORA TORA" as they are victorious, their leader claiming "the admiral" told them to do that.
