I probably should've said "or" instead of "and"...
I just meant that all of the things you pointed out could be attributes of a lot of characters. Nothing super special (other than maybe the pointing thing) stands out, like how in Higurashi Chie was an obvious parody character of Tsukihime's Ciel. That was a much more blatant example though.
I just wouldn't have used those qualities as anything that seems to point out inspiration. Battler and Phoenix have two totally different personalities and situations to me, and when it comes to character design, the only thing they share is spiky hair (which MANY MANY anime characters have, the style is even completely different) and a suit (which a lot of men wear in real life and anime, also the occasion seems to call for it this time). Their passion to do what they believe in is what drives the story to continue, much like with many other stories.
That's all I was trying to say.
