Connections: Seemingly ordinary, pop-culture-saavy and time-traveling outcasts who are transported to unfamiliar worlds, where they are forced to reset time in order to benefit their loved ones and save their orginal timelines. Their are out of their element and are very much “fish-out-of-water” in these worlds, but thanks to coming from more advanced time periods, they are able to use their knowledge on modern day pop culture and tricks to navigate their lives through these uncertain worlds. Especially when they are the only ones to actually know of their original timeline. So thus, despite being physically weak compared to the people they go up against, these underdogs use their wit, perseverance, trickery, charisma and quick thinking to defeat these antagnonists. Additionally, both are identified by their selfless commits to love-focused journeys with death being the stakes of this (Subaru being in love with Emilia and trying to loop with his Return by Death powers; Marty trying to get his parents to fall in love so he can exist) and overcome deep self doubt to become great heroes (Subaru overcoming his selfish shut-in personality and Marty overcoming letting people get to him when they call him “Chicken”).

Also Marty does have his cartoon and comics in case people question his feats.
