For a few years now, the Fortnite video game has multiplied prestigious collaborations. In recent months, we have seen the Star Wars universe in particular in the game signed Epic Games, but also that of Uncharted, Naruto, Resident Evil, Marvel, God of War, Halo, The Walking Dead… Fortnite’s most recent collaboration concerns a license particularly dear to children of the 80s (and fans of Club Dorothée), and which still retains a huge success today: Dragon Ball.
Fortnite x Dragon Ball: dances that do not pass?
Indeed, for the past few days, a new Dragon Ball tab has appeared in Fortnite, which provides access to new quests and other rewards directly from the Dragon Ball universe. Also, four legendary characters from Dragon Ball Super are entering the game, namely Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma and Beerus. In addition, until September 17, fans of the Dragon Ball Super series can embark on a cruise ship, to relax while watching a selection of episodes of Dragon Ball Super! Nice !

A collaboration for the less prestigious therefore, but which is already making many fans of the Dragon Ball license cringe… Indeed, if the Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration makes it possible to find very substantial content and very successful functionalities , it also allows you to embody Goku and Vegeta in the game. This notably involves viewing the famous Saiyans with a firearm in their hands (or a lightsaber)… but also viewing them wiggling their hips like never before, with the famous dances characteristic of the Fortnite universe.
So of course, some will say that Vegeta had already been humiliated in the past with his infamous mustache, but it is difficult for many fans (starting with the famous Player of the Attic) not to widen their eyes in front of the prince of the dancing Saiyans on Bim Bam Boom of the young singer Carla.

Since the recent update, many Internet users (and in particular the oldest fans of the DBZ series) have reacted to the various dances performed by the two rivals of the Dragon Ball planet.

Added to this are in-game situations that none of these same fans were really prepared for. For some it is “a whole childhood wasted in an instant“, when others wonder “Aafter Predator, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, now Dragon Ball… Fortnite wants to ruin all the licenses of our childhood in fact?“.

Note that from August 19, the Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration will expand and allow players to explore an island inspired by the emblematic places of the Dragon Ball universe. In particular, we can enjoy a ring race on a magic cloud (Kinto-un) at the palace of God, but also eat in Goku’s house and rub shoulders with an obstacle course through the spirit room. and time. To this will be added the open arena of player against player “Tenkaichi Budokai”.
