Hype is building for a rumored collaboration betweenFortniteandDragon Ball Z. Leakers have spent the past week sharing details regarding what looks to be a massive, seven-weekDragon Ball Zevent alongside the release of four new skins. Three of the four skins are believed to be known, with Goku, Vegeta, and the God of Destruction Beerus joiningFortnite. The fourth skin has been a mystery beyond awareness that the character is a woman. A new leak may have confirmed just whichDragon Ball Zcharacter it is, though.Epic Games has gotten increasingly sneaky about leaks over time, and theDragon Ball Zevent is no different. The encrypted skins found inFortnite’s files don’t directly reference the names of eachDragon Ball Zcharacter, but can hint at them. For example,Beerusleaked due to a datamined purple skin labeled “Cat.” Now the fourthDragon Ball Zskin has been discovered similarly. It’s a woman with the label “Barium.” Some are concluding that this means the character is Bulma, due to the “B” and Bulma being a scientist.RELATED:Dragon Ball Z: Incredible Fan Film Features Vegeta as King of the SaiyansTo be clear, the leakers are much less confident in this possibility than they are with Goku, Vegeta, and Beerus. The “Barium” codename is by no means clear, but the leakers are confident thatBulmais the most popular and prominent woman onDragon Ball Z. It only makes sense for her to be released in the first wave of theFortnitecollaboration.
There’s still the possibility of another woman fromDragon Ball Zbeing featured in this first wave of skins. Epic Games does like to mix things up and spread popular skins between packs, after all. Barium is a metal, which could mean the skin is for one ofDragon Ball Z’s popular androids. Android 18 would be the most popular option given her role in the Cell Saga ofDragon Ball Z.
Any number of women fromDragon Ball Zwould likely be seen as an excellent pick for a skin, given the popularity of the anime and the crossover of its audience withFortnite. Caulifla and Kale, Pan, Chi-Chi, Videl, Dr. Brief’s wife Bikini, or even the East Kai would be outstanding options inFortnite.
All speculation aside, if it isn’t Bulma, thenFortniteandDragon Ball Zfans alike will be very surprised. It likely won’t be long before the truth is revealed, as leakers believe that theDragon Ball Zcollaborationis going to start within the next 1-2 weeks. Around August 8 in particular is being mentioned, as that’s the end of an Epic Games vacation window. Fans can expect a lot more information soon.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
