Because the series does not take influence from other anime. By that logic, I would have to say Rhea Scout looks like Jonathan Joestar just because they have boots or that Spearman is based off of Lancer just because they're male and have spears. The Demon Lord and Ainz just share a skull-like face and a staff. Nothing official confirms it's a reference. You're just making connections between characters from different media and assuming it's a reference.

So no, unless there's evidence given by official media that confirms your assumption, it's not a reference and it never was intended to be.
