Epic Games has released a new skin called Hana on Fourteen days on Thursday. Usually someone else’s release Fourteen days girly isn’t too remarkable – the in-game shop releases multiple skins daily. But this time it’s a little different, because as fans of the popular anime and manga series JoJo’s bizarre adventure As previously mentioned, this “Hana” bears a striking resemblance to Jolyne Cujoh, one of the protagonists of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. Now the skin has people in their feelings and desires for a real JoJos Cooperation.
The new skin looks like it’s heavily inspired by Jolyne to the point of being just a copycat. Both Hana and Jolyne sport neon yellow hair and wear similarly styled pants and crop top outfits. Hana’s top even has a strap that connects to the pants, just like Jolyne’s design. The Hana skin also has an alternate form that turns her into a demon resembling “Killer Queen”, Yoshikage Kira’s standing avatar JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. (In case you’re new here, stalls are manifestations of psychic powers that characters use to fight that look like demons.)
Polygon has reached out to Epic Games for comment. We will update the article as soon as we get feedback.
It honestly takes guts (and, you know, a whole lot of money and a huge legal team) to potentially rip off a character design from a series that’s been revered for its visually distinct character designs. The reactions of the fans were mixed. Some turned it into a joke and edited it Hanna in JoJos visual style and have made memes about the reference. Other expressed disappointment about the absence of officials JoJos skins. The popular battle royale has no shortage of formal anime collaborations – we’ve gotten official skins for them Naruto, Dragon Ball greatand last My hero academy. But for now, it looks like fans will have to settle for the fake Jolyne.
Fourteen days has quite an impressive track record of developers appropriating game ideas, characters, and dances. The game once featured a “cheater mode,” which the company retrospectively attributed to the creators of the hit mafia game Between us. This matter now appears to be settled Between us back bling came to Fourteen daysbut it doesn’t present an encouraging track record for the company when it comes to potential copycat cases.
