They will be joining a cast of popular anime characters who have made a lasting impact in the industry, and even to non-anime fans, with the likes of Goku from the Dragonball franchise, Luffy from One Piece and Naruto making waves. They’re joined by a plethora of other Shonen Jump characters, including Zoro, Sanji, Sabo and Blackbeard (One Piece), as well as additions from Bleach in Ichigo, Rukia, and Aizen. Also included from Yu-Gi-Oh is Yugi Muto, alongside Gon, Kurapika, Killua and Hisoka from HunterxHunter.
This is shaping up to be a fighting game to beat the best, and there’s a possibility that even more characters will be added before the February release date, so keep an eye out for future updates!
