As part of acollaboration betweenFortniteandJujutsu Kaisen, Epic Games released a cosmetic bundle containing skins of the characters Toji Fushiguro, Ryomen Sukuna, and Mahito. In a recentpost on Reddit, one player called the design of Toji “genuinely so lazy,” as the outfit only shows the antagonist in a white sweatshirt and black pants. Priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, the skin for Toji Fushiguro lacks any additional edit styles, despite the fact that the character has a variety of looks in the anime. Other gamers also commented on the cosmetic, criticizing it for being overpriced and unimaginative.
