ok the similarities are quite extreme, to the point where I suspect the undark author took direct inspiration from alive. both series are about some comet or cosmic thing, causing a huge cascade with children suddenly gaining psychic powers. both series start off with the protagonist suddenly experiencing powers and having their friend/sibling going mad with power after being granted it, then going off on a journey to search for their friend/sister, both series covers quite a few philosophical ideas about society and the meaning of life, in fact the protagonists in both series gets asked almost the exact question of what they wish for or what they wanna be when they grow up etc, the whole theme is like a comming of age story of some sort.

both of these series have a duo that goes through the quest of discovering "what is good/rightousness and what is evil/wicked" very different in asthetics, one is mecha scifi with japanese historical asthetics. while one is in south africa with heavy metal asthetics, both of them fight many others deemed evil/good, while diasporaiser is the protagonist as wicked/evil while in ultimo the protagonist represents the good/rightous of course both series raises the questions of subjective morality and impartiality etc

despite this being basically, dororos version of PLUTO. it somehow feels almost exactly like the beginning parts of the original gunnm series, both the harrowing gritty environment to the slice and dice swift melee to gun combat between multiple cyborg bodies clashing and often ending up in pieces, it really feels like im reading an alt universe alita manga.
