All right, Fortnite fans, brace yourselves because Fortnite is about to explode. We already know that the One Punch Man Blitz Royale event, with Saitama Medallions, is dropping tomorrow. Woah! And Fortnite is going to explode ALL weekend. Honestly, I could not be more ready!
What’s the deal? Starting tomorrow, every player on Blitz will be sporting the Saitama Medallion for their character. For the non-anime viewers, Saitama is the iconic hero, the bald guy who defeats anything with a single punch. His medallion implies tons of fun. Players have begun touting this update as the best ever—comments like “gonna be insane 😭🔥🔥🔥” and “It’s gonna be mayhem 💀” litter the post. We are all eager, and I can only imagine the pressure on the servers.
Rumors always precede the release, but nobody can be certain about the Saitama medallion’s details because the announcement left a lot to be desired. If you’ve played Fortnite’s Blitz modes or know of the medallion mechanics, it stands to reason it will give some wildly overpowered abilities, perhaps a one-hit knockout—the only thing trademarked for “One Punch Man.” A player joked, “Who will face the punch,” and that is probably the most sensible statement since, let’s face it, Saitama won’t hold back. You’re probably donezo if you catch the punch.
With a few exceptions, the crickets are the only thing Fortnite’s community isn’t making noise about. Several other players think the Saitama skin looks a little “weird,” with one saying “I don’t know how to explain, but the skin is weird,” in reply to an image. The “glitch effect” that some people want fixed might also be something that changes the look. Fortnite has a long history of new cosmetics launching with some bugs, so hopefully Epic fixes that sooner rather than later. Apart from those small complaints, the vibes look to be mostly good. Fortnite players seem more than ready to dive in as comments like “Cant wait for this event probably going to be the best update” and “Yoo this bout to SLAP” suggest.
Someone asked, “GIVE ME YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION SHIINA,” which we all know is a bad idea. Oddly, “we only play reload” was the reply, spouting one of the divided Fortnite modes. Maybe punch-y gaming will bring them together.
Fortnite is addressing different collaborations and timed modes as a way of shaking things up so I expect this type of event to return in the future. The documentary is already known for fast-paced gameplay, and the Saitama twist is going to raise the stakes even higher. Imagine dropping into a match where you can one-punch your opponents. Insanity assured. This type of content is what keeps the players coming back to the game demands every week.
Whether you are a new player or just returning to Fortnite, there is no better time than now to start playing again. Like with all events, there is zero participation fee, eliminating the need for V-Bucks. All you have to do is log in, enter Blitz mode, and get ready to land punches. And the likelihood is that you will get punched a lot too.
Like any large update, Fortnite could experience server problems or bugs during the initial hours—Epic Games is usually able to patch those within minutes. Consequently, if such an issue arises, calmly wait—it’s the usual launch day weirdness. Moreover, if the skin is “off” as many people say, it would definitely undergo a tweak in an upcoming patch.
Considering Epic is unlocking Saitama Medallions for all participants, the One Punch Man Blitz Royale event is shaping up to be the center of attention for Fortnite seasons, The constant action is bound to bring endless laughs, along with the satisfaction of instant eliminations. Anime enthusiasts and wild game modes alike will enjoy this event. That said, for all participants who want to enjoy the madness, clear your schedule, grab your controllers, and get ready for one punch Fortnite-style, because I, for one, believe the experience will be legendary.
