That's the thing, by saying that it was all ripped from [PROTOTYPE] is to ignore how common the similar things are throughout the rest of media history.
Would I be allowed to say that you're ripping off Naruto if you wrote a ninja-centric story where ninjutsu is done with a combination of handsigns? No, because handsigns have been used throughout ninja-related material for so long that it's just an accepted element, it's a trope.
The exact same way a that "criminal wearing a hood to hide identity" is a trope, and is even these days just a cool factor. And being labeled a terrorist is something extremely common whenever you start lampooning conservative sensibilities to rile up their viewers.
It's also absurd to say that those are ripped from some place in particular when they're literally tried and true tactics employed by criminals (hiding identity) and overbearing media (harshly labeling detractors) in real life. There's truth in concept there.
You need to take a huge step back and stop thinking that everything DmC shares with something else means they're ripping it off. Look for the truth behind the concept, and think before you type.
Oh, and also take into account all that concept art they have for DmC that shows so many different things that have nothing to do with [PROTOTYPE]. There's a whole process that we can watch their designs go through. If they were ripping off something else, do you think there would have been so much concept art...? Wouldn't their preliminary designs have looked much closer to [PROTOTYPE] then...?
