Name your wish…” The quote is, asDragon Ball Zfans well know, from themagical Eternal Dragon Shenron. Fittingly, the image included in the teaser on Twitter is of Shenron. The dragon shines bright gold, as if he was just summoned by the Dragon Balls and the summoner is now being asked for their wishes.
There is one extra detail worth pointing out from the teaser image. Shenron is not just floating in the air - he’s floating in the air above a very recognizable location. It’s the tree fromReality Falls, one ofFortnite’s new Points of Interest for this season. Shenron is within the world ofFortnitein this image, and he’s located at one of the key focus areas for the season.
What could be the understated implication of the teaser is that, not only isDragon Ball Zcrossing over withFortnite, but it may have significant consequences for the battle royale’s story. Someone within the world ofFortnitecould use theDragon Balls and Shenronto actually make a wish.Dragon Ball Zcould leave a lasting impact on the world ofFortnitegoing beyond an event.
