Indeed, that was one of the bigger questions they left unanswered in GO Galaxy. Is he Zanark? Is he related to Zanark? Could he be the reincarnation of Zanark? Well...they never say,  It's obvious that he is, in some way, involved with Zanark. Appearances aside, and even going as far as to say hissatsu aside, one could be led to believe that he and Zanark are the same person because they say similar things (more than once and at critical moments, so you know it's more than an homage), and that he bears similar traits (despite having very different personalities).

However, actually confirming this is impossible as we don't know what time period Zanark is originally from and what happened to him after he went back. Proving that he's an ancestor or a descendent is impossible for the same reasons.
