Let's see...  In the second image I've shown of the game, the character looks like Elsword actually was fused with Aisha, and in the third image, Isabel Duoduo is actually Chung's head placed on Eve's Code: Empress torso, the fourth is actually Elsword (Magic Knight), but his hair color and eye color got recolored and donned the male Rogue's clothing.

Following accusations of plagiarism from Elsword players in August 2014, Nuri S&S, the Korean publisher of Holy Blade Online posted an apology message to the players and KOG that they convinced the developer themselves to delete the plagiarized image.

This wasn't the first plagiarism case KOG has encountered, but 東遊記 (lit. Journey to the East; East Fantasy Online)/Fists of Fu was the first case they got aware of.
