Dragon Ball is coming to Fortnite, and fans want Goku

Goku and the Z Fighters will (probably) drop onto Fortnite’s island soon.

Well, it finally happened: Dragon Ball is crossing over with Fortnite. Like every ancient prophecy, so too did this finally come to fruition — or it will once Goku gets announced. 

We don’t know anything official about the Dragon Ball x Fortnite crossover other than it’ll release on Aug. 16, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices. On Thursday, Epic Games merely teased everyone that date and an image of Shenron on Twitter, the gigantic wish-granting dragon from Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super. It’s not much to go on, but plenty enough for fans to speculate which characters might join the fray.

Goku has to be there. You know it, I know it, and everyone familiar with anime knows it. There aren’t many characters within pop culture as instantly recognizable as the cheerful saiyan warrior, and for a good reason too. Could Indiana Jones, Darth Vader, or Pac-Man defeat Frieza? I think not!

Naturally, the internet is overflowing with hilarious memes and reactions. We’ve gathered some knee-slappers for your enjoyment below.
