Epic Games has released a new skin named Hana on Fortnite on Thursday. Usually the release of another Fortnite girly isn’t all that notable — the in-game shop rotates out several skins daily. But this time is a little different because as fans of the popular anime and manga series JoJo bizarr kalandja have pointed out, this “Hana” bears a striking resemblance to Jolyne Cujoh, one the protagonist of JoJo bizarr kalandja: Stone Ocean. Now, the skin has people in their feels and wishing for a real JoJóé kollaborálni.

The new skin looks like it was heavily based off of Jolyne to the point of it just being a copycat. Both Hana and Jolyne wear neon yellow hair and wear a similarly styled pants and crop top outfit. Hana’s top even has a strap that connects to the pants, just like in Jolyne’s design. The Hana skin also comes with an alternate form that transforms her into a demon, which sort of resembles “Killer Queen,” the Stand avatar of Yoshikage Kira from JoJo bizarr kalandja: A gyémánt törhetetlen. (If you are new here, Stands are manifestations of psychic powers characters use to fight that look like demons.)

Polygon reached out to Epic Games for comment. We will update the article as we hear back.

It honestly takes guts (and you know, a whole lot of money and a giant legal team) to possibly rip off a character design from a series that has been revered for its visually distinct character designs. Fan reactions have varied. Some have turned it into a joke, and have edited Hana into JoJóé vizuális stílus es van made memes about the reference. Egyéb csalódást fejezett ki over the absence of official JoJóé skins. The popular battle royale has had no shortage of formal anime collaborations — we’ve gotten official skins for Naruto, Dragon Ball Super, és legutóbb, A hősök akadémia. But for now it’s looking like fans will have to settle for knock-off Jolyne.

Fortnite has a rather significant track record of developers appropriating game ideas, characters, and dances. The game once included an “Imposters mode,” which the company retroactively credited to the creators of the hit mafia game Köztünk. That matter appears to have been settled since Köztünk back bling came to Fortnite, but it doesn’t present an encouraging track record for the company when examining cases of potential copy cats.
