So, if you’ve been waiting to pick up some new Fortnite swag, then you might as well consider your wait over. The GoGo Yubari character set along with her emotes has just been made available in the Item Shop, and the leaker ShiinaBR is soooo excited about it, saying that one should buy it. They have even provided the link, and the creator code ‘Shiina’ has also been given for you to use if you wish to support. It is a full-on vibe, and the community is already talking about it. This is one of those collaborations that feel unique, don’t you think?
What does the set bring to the table, then? It is a homage to GoGo Yubari, the unforgettable character from Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill.’ Yes, that is true! The uniform with the meteor hammer? Precisely the one! Fortnite is, in fact, taking that state of violence-chic from the cinema to the island and honestly? It looks nothing short of stunning. The pack wraps up the skin, no doubt, along with some new emotes that are probably as lavish as one would expect. Someone even stated that the emote ‘should’ve been in the battle pass it’s for the bride,’ which is a valid point when you consider the theme. However, it’s already here.
And what was the public’s reaction? Every single player is totally game for it. The players are like ‘this is actually peak!!’ and ‘One of the best.’ The whole community is really vibing. But it is always like that, with every new Fortnite release, the questions and the chaos spring up. It’s certainly not just a plain ‘hey here’s a cool skin.’ Not at all. The replies create a whole ecosystem of hype, confusion, and demands for more stuff.
Out of the blue, someone asked, ‘do you know if miku is coming back?’ because the Hatsune Miku collaboration is still fresh in everyone’s memory. Shortly after, another player said, ‘Where’s all might tho,’ thus keeping the My Hero Academia dreams alive. The ‘what’s next’ question cycle is always there even when something great is in front of them. Classic gamer behavior!
Then, another drama, this time a different one, is going on in the comment section. It is not even about GoGo Yubari! A few replies are caught up in a discussion regarding the Gigi skin from the movie ticket promotion. One person asks: ‘When are the people who purchased the movie tickets supposed to be getting their Gigi skin? Because I don’t see mine in my locker….’ And it turns into a whole support thread, with others claiming that Fandango sent out the codes on November 30th or they were in the receipts from AMC. Some people think they are the ones getting the bad end of this deal. It’s quite a mess! But it also demonstrates how these promotional items can create as much stress as excitement. A kid even remarked, it’s ‘Lowk messed up that if you buy the ticket, they only give you the skin,’ which, yeah, that’s a pretty valid complaint.
Ok, so let’s return to the main subject. The GoGo Yubari hype is surely there, but players are already thinking about the next thing. The requests are pouring in exceedingly. ‘Just need the wagon to be in the shop next,’ says one referring to the Pussy Wagon vehicle from the films. Another asks, ‘Any news about the Cat wagon?’ And someone else just screams ‘MINI PUSSYWAGON 😱’ into the void. The demand for more Tarantino content is crystal clear, one of the replies simply states, ‘More Tarantino plz 💯🔥🎊🖤.’ Epic Games, are you listening?
It’s amusing how a single tweet about a new skin can unlock this entire view of the community’s thoughts. You’ve got the instant hype, the nostalgic calls for past collaborations, the logistical nightmares of other promotions, and the wishlist for future items. All happening all at once. And in the middle of it, someone just whispers ‘We want Joe Biden instead’ which is… a choice. The internet really is a crazy place, man.
Those who got the Gigi skin from the movie promo have a little good news, too. One more generous player said that the ‘Bundle is 300 if you got the skin through the promo,’ which means that you might get a reduced price on the full GoGo Yubari set if you already have part of it. That’s a nice little perk for the loyal fans who went to watch the movie.
So, the GoGo Yubari set is out. It’s amazing, the emotes are fantastic and the Fortnite community is doing what it does best: celebrating, whining, and asking for a million other things all at the same time. It’s a delightful PlayStation and Xbox experience.
