>>95116519the original Slayers air date was 1995 and given the date of the original Vambre art it would be a safe bet to say that Kyle did rip the design
however, actual vambre looks so different from the original i would say that it's not as if he's just piggy backing off of Slayer's designs
also, the warrior princess trope was supoer popular back then, so he could have be inspired by one of the billions of designs back then
