By inviting Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Bulma to their great carousel of skins, Fortnite has been a hit at the end of season 3. The most famous Battle Royale in the world is releasing the most ambitious crossover in its history, and its arrival on the island of the DBZ franchise hasn’t held back any geek culture fans. But while we can’t really blame Epic Games for making the partnership work (the skins are luxurious with anime aesthetic touches), we can ask ourselves other questions. This is the big snag that Fortnite has become.
Just connect with Goku doing Ariana Grande impersonation, as Vegeta rope-dancing, and even marveling when Bullma kills an entire team with blasts from a big gun.
a big change
Deadly DBZ fans are often torn between the excitement of seeing skins from their favorite series in Fortnite and the feeling that Dragon Ball doesn’t deserve to be in a dumb world like Fortnite.
Because yes, the gap between DBZ and Epic Games’ cartoonish shooter is noticeable. Being a skin in Fortnite also means producing fun dances and emotes. The life of a pop culture icon in 2022 is not easy!

Kamehameha versus Kalash
Another point that shocked the public right after the release of the joint work was the shooting of DBZ characters with guns. We are light years away from the anime.

The gaming community hasn’t been shy about filling Twitter with delightful clips that happily play around with the deep dissonance between DBZ and Battle Royale.

On the contrary, these slightly sarcastic clips in no way overshadow the great success of this collaboration. For years, Fortnite relies on a layer of transitions and vast franchises designed to entertain the gallery.. The bet was successful with Naruto. Same with DBZ.
