Well yeah, i literally just wrapped up watching the entire game, and it sounded interesting to me. Btw, there are arguably just as much similarities as there are contrasts, though i can't go about the full extent of both.

In terms of similarities, both are vengeance seekers hailing from Asia, clad in red who originated in side-scrolling spiritual successors to long-dead classic franchises (Mega Man and Castlevania). Both are rather serious, stoic and unwavering in their conviction to eradicate the monsters that plague their worlds (backed by a personal vendetta and the history regarding Adepts and demons), wielding nothing more than their weapons and special equipment with no supernatural powers of their own. Both also starred in their own games, where the original protagonist clad in blue takes a less significant role (Luminous Avenger iX and Curse of the Moon respectively)

In terms of contrasts, Copen is a young teenager with a slender build, dressed in futuristic armor and wields technology alongside his gun. Zangetsu is an elderly man dressed in old-english clothing modeled after feudal samurai wear, which accentuates his muscular build, and fights using magical artifacts alongside his trusty katana.
