Well, if you look closely, you'll notice that the both also have "patch" bellies with emblems on them, and funky hats. It's still hard to lend any credit to the claim though when those happen to be the official Olympic ring colors. :roll:

Well, according to the Japanese company behind the Keroro anime, they're not : (They sued the creators of these designs for copy).

Personnally, I think that the color is the only same thing, otherwise they're not the same.
You have a news link to said lawsuit?

Well hell, if people are going to start suing over teams of five with each character having a distinct bright color, Toei should be the first to do the suing. Though the only Super Sentai series that actually seems to have those particular colors together is Liveman, from 1988. And the mention of the symbols on their bellies just made me think of Care Bears. :oops: (Really, though, I think people get a little too carried away with suing sometimes.)

...For on topic ness, the red one's hair does kind of remind me of SSJ4 Gogeta, but it's a stretch, and I just don't see it in the others.
