He resisted drawing influence from other people for most of his characters, particularly the main protagonists, whom he instead based on assets on his own personality-the arrogant Black Star is based on Ohkubo's narcissistic side, the neurotic Death the Kid based on his manic side, etc. He also decided to use a scythe as Maka's weapon for its unique fighting style.
