Both are fighting shounens with long battles.These two have a way to confront the
subordinates to finally meet the head of the saga or a Tournament System like Dragon Ball's tournaments. Also both have nice drama moments and some GAR scenes.
These series are both considered classics and are from the same time period (late 80's early 90's) both also come from weekly shonen jump. Possibly due to both containing a lot of 80's anime common stylistic choices and music/OSTs ; watching both these in the modern day, they give me very similar vibes!
I draw a lot of parallels between Seiya himself and Yusuke. Both young, hot headed and tough Japanese boys who's tenacity and combat prowess brings them to the forefront of a larger than life conflict.

Classic shounen anime with quite similar artstyle. Both are long running series focused on action with the fights taking a long time. They follow the usual battle shounen tropes such as tournaments, but to be fair, these were the anime that helped with setting the tropes rather than copying them. The protagonists are also kinda similar, but that's to be expected.
Both animes have similar art styles, have a tournament arc, and feature the main characters going through a trial of fighting strong enemies one by one. Both animes also contain a main character looking for their sister.
Hiei is similar to Ikki in personality and shares similar plot points.
Kurama's design is similar to the designs of Shun and the Gold Saint Pisces Aphrodite, as they all have feminine features and long hair. Additionally, Kurama uses whip-like weapons like Shun and holds a flower like Pisces Aphrodite.
