That, and neither Orochi nor the Hydra are the only "multi-headed serpents" in mythologies. There's Nehebkau from Egyptian myth, a 2 headed snake. There's the greek Ladon, a serpent-like dragon with "a hundred" heads.

Yamata-no-Orochi was an 8-headed, 8-tailed serpent, yes, and the merged Taijitus resemble it, yes, but similarities are not enough. I could say they resemble the Hydra. Or Ladon.
