Fortnite has been a very trippy and never-ending crossover with classic movies. Such a crossover was a blast this time, for sure. In fact, the first view of Gogo Yubari Fortnite skin was just made public and the gamers went crazy already. The schoolgirl killer from Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 was given a little glimpse, and yes, she does look cool no doubt, through the image, which was leaked by ShiinaBR and credited to @kiddarkensDRK.
Gogo Yubari was a killer character in Kill Bill and a very pretty girl who, besides being scary, was also very easy to like. The skin, nevertheless, resembles her, so some gamers have already begun to complain. Not only does she wear her signature outfit, but the skin also comes with a pickaxe too. Although she has become a classic character with the passage of time thanks to the limited amount of time the actress spent on screen, she is now going to be in the game with a pickaxe. The skin exhibits her wearing her trademark school uniform consisting of a tie and everything else. It is a good imitation but some gamers have already started to comment negatively about it which is common in the gaming world.
One user who goes by @obliqueoctopus claimed, ‘Sadly the face looks nothing like her. Ima looks good tho.’ That’s a pretty observant comment to make. You can’t really expect the actress and the real person to look exactly the same in the game because of Fortnite’s very unique art style. However, the general feel is there and most people are not bothered about the accuracy anyway. Another gamer, @NuttyNutella3, was a lot more positive about it and posted ‘Golly gumdrops her skin is fire’ along with several fire emojis, which is a great way to summarize the overall excitement.
But then that’s the main point where it becomes interesting. The question is how do you actually obtain the skin? According to the responses in the thread, this could be a part of the promotional collaboration with Fandango. User @heehochan made it clear: ‘you can only get the skin if you buy a ticket for kill bill from fandago.’ What? So are you supposed to go watch the movie in the cinema to get the code? That sure is a strange one!
This led to players raising a lot of questions. @Jvprxo was asking, ‘If I buy my movie ticket for a “child” will I still get the code??????????’ which is very reasonable if you ask me. And @Derangedgemini was very honest in admitting, ‘Yeah I’m just going to buy the ticket for the skin & not even go😅’. Who can blame them, sometimes the itch for a digital outfit can just be that intense.
Fortnite has done movie promotions before but this collaboration is one of the most unexpected ones. It does make one think of what other classic movie stars might be next? Somebody @skitzuhfrenia was already talking about the ‘yellow suit lady’, referring to The Bride, Beatrix Kiddo, herself. Their comment was, ‘I hope the yellow suit lady is in the battle pass’. Wouldn’t it be crazy? A complete Kill Bill set. We might even have a Hattori Hanzō sword pickaxe. The range of possibilities is really extravagant.
And of course, along with every skin reveal, many people ask questions about a completely different topic. @MGRaidenEnjoyer said, ‘Where’s Metal Gear wave 2?’. And @GanderTaken just simply stated that ‘nobody gaf bro where’s jojos’. People’s priorities are really mixed up, but that is how it is with Fortnite community. It is a chaotic but beautiful mess.
On the other hand, the feedback on the skin design is nothing but praise. @LapisTellini was straightforward and said, ‘She looks so beautiful.’ The hype is definitely real. @TiTanSwan27 captured the feelings of many when he said: ‘Definitely buying a ticket for that skin. Kill Bill is an instant classic, so it will be fun 😁’. It’s a great way to reminisce about an iconic movie, even if you have to buy a ticket for a screening you may not use. Still, that’s the price of style in 2024.
This circumstance has also ignited discussion regarding other cosmetic aspects. @johndabot pointed out a very specific issue related to shoes, saying ‘She better have the proper Nikes on considering The Bride doesn’t have her proper Asics on.’ This illustrates how much precision hardcore fans demand. They’re even capable of telling which shoes the actors wore in a certain scene. It is quite a feat indeed.
So when is it all going to happen? The tweet does not specify the date and the replies reflect the same confusion. PlayStation and Xbox gamers are also anticipating new content.
