Having anime character skins on Fortnite is definitely an attraction for many anime fans, as it gives them the opportunity to play their favorite game as their favorite character.

Fortnite also did a collaboration with Dragon Ball Super back on January 31, 2023, where they added Adult Gohan and Piccolo's character skins. Given the popularity of their characters, it was only to be expected that Epic Games would be looking for another major collaboration with the franchise sometime in the future.
