Is there a reason Lu Bu keeps getting associated with Thor in external media?

Now, as far as I know, this has only happened twice, but the fact that on two separate occasions where 3K history crosses with Norse myth, Lu Bu had some level of association with Thor. It's not a lot, but the specific nature of it makes it weird that it's happened twice, especially when there was no shortage of other matches for Lu Bu.

To catch up those not in the know, the first pic is from Warriors Orochi 4. One of the main plot elements are these special bracelets imbued with the power of specific gods. Only a person that can match the way of the god whose power is imbued to the bracelet can attune to it and "deify" to use that god's power. Lu Bu manages to come across a bracelet with the power of Thor, and manages to attune with it to assume the form above.

The second one is from Records of Ragnarök. In a tournament between humans and the gods of the various mythologies, the first match of the tournament and the big fight they hyped up the show with is Lu Bu vs. Thor. Putting artistic liberties of Thor aside, its still another instance of these two encountering to some capacity.

Is it some sort of culture thing? Does Lu Bu's reputation have such a perfect alignment with Thor's story that Eastern writers view them as such a great match? What am I missing?
