Riki-Oh and Jojo were already aping Tetsuo Hara, who was already aping action movies and fantasy ilustrations.
Nip media tends to recycle the same tropes and visuals quite a lot, they are not unique in this regard, but they do have an iterative process where they take one thing and put another.
I feel like that's part of the reason why their new characters don't hit as well. They reached the point where they are now aping themselves, like putting two unused designs and making into luke, or taking an old character character and turn it into a girl. Tends to be pretty hit or miss.
