When we were kids, my friends and I used to play a game we called \u201cBe Whoever You Want,\u201d where we\u2019d pretend to be our heroes from video games, TV shows, and movies. Goku, Vegeta, or other Dragon Ball<\/em> characters were a popular choice \u2014 we\u2019d imagine that we could fly great distances and launch powerful Kamehameha beams to \u201cfight\u201d each other. Many years later, thanks to Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> new Dragon Ball<\/em>-themed event<\/a> that kicked off on Tuesday, I\u2019ve been able to live out those childhood dreams of feeling like an actual Super Saiyan.<\/p>\n

In my first match after installing the new update, I beelined to Kame House<\/a>, an iconic location from the franchise that has been added to the Fortnite<\/em> map. Dressed as Goku, I floated down to the house and watched as another player talked to Bulma. But the player soon spotted me and began charging up a Kamehameha, which I was sure would mean my demise.<\/p>\n

In a valiant effort to protect myself, I ducked for cover inside Kame House and grabbed a weapon, but the other player\u2019s beam started destroying the walls around me. I fled and picked up another Kamehameha item I found on the ground. Another player had defeated my attacker, so I was safe for the moment \u2014 but I saw a different opponent heading my way.<\/p>\n
