Now this is an idea i really hope becomes a reality someday. With One Punch Man and Cowboy Bebop already a thing in game, this would be another popular anime getting representation in-game. In my view, skins would be as follows:
Cassidy: Jotaro Kujo
Soldier 76: Joseph Joestar
Lifeweaver: Caesar Zeppeli
Moira: DIO
Torbjorn: Koichi
Baptiste: Giorno Giovanna
Dva: Trish
Kiriko: Jolyne Kujo
What do ya’ll think? (Props if anyone catches the two easter eggs i left in plain sight)
I love anime, but the anime collabs they’ve done so far have been complete dookey, imho.
Like, Cowboy Bebop and MHA were just awful. Tracer’s deku skin literally looked like someone’s gran escaped the nursing home and somehow ended up at an anime convention.
Hopefully Rivals reaches out to Hirohiko Araki first. Ironfist is a way better candidate for Jotaro Kujo anyway.
Cassidy should be Hol Horse (gun, and more importantly hat)
Ram should be Star Platinum at the very least (オラオラオラオラオラオラオラ!!)
Lifeweaver should be Giorno Giovanna (flowing hair, chest window, tree)
Illari should be Baron Zeppeli (when she ults, she yells "Sunlight Yellow… Overdrive!!")
And honestly, I don’t think Kiriko needs to be Jolyne. I say this as a Kiri main; she has enough collab skins. She deserves a rest.
I picked Cassidy because he has the hat and also, in the English dub, Cassidy’s VA also voices Jotaro. He has to be Jotaro!
Ramattra as Star Platinum would slap lowkey.
Yeah but Kiriko is obligated to get a collab skin and additionally, in the Japanese dub of Overwatch, Kiriko is voiced by the same VA who voices Jolyne.
Jojo’s bizarre adventure has come a long way. I remember I was a kid reading Jojo in manga form when it first came out which I believe was on Shonen Jump at the time and thinking the story was very strange. In anime form, the story made more sense to me and I could enjoy it more as an adult.
…but as a kid, it was a nightmre trying to understand what the frick was happening in manga form lol.
As for Overwatch collaboration, I’m all for it and I think it would be fun
Finally! An OP that suggests a collab, and he actually gives Kiriko her rightful skin. Idk a damn thing about Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, but I support you, OP.
Everybody else just proposes their collab without adding Kiriko (surely by total accident), but thats a grave mistake that automatically dooms their idea. Pfft…
“I have developed a dangerous parasocial dependency on a computer program that displays an icon of a green-haired girl and backhandedly insults me via text messages.”
I guess for fans of that I wouldn’t mind it happening one day, but I’d like to see other collabs and not just ones based off of anime.
I probably would have checked out the collabs for Cowboy Bebop, Avatar TLA and Gundam Wing if I’d been playing when those were around. Even if some of those skins were so-so.
But there’s lots of things they could do collabs with, aside from just anime. The SF6 stuff was probably one of the more successful collabs so far.
