What players are asking

Persistent Demand for My Hero Academia (Hawks) Collaboration

Macro Player Request: Players are demanding the immediate addition of the character Hawks from *My Hero Academia* to Fortnite’s item shop.
Pain Points: The feedback is dominated by a single user (@Vadim_IceDracoX) executing a high-volume, repetitive "day counter" campaign (spanning over 140 days), which creates a perception of widespread, urgent dissatisfaction despite likely being an isolated bot-like behavior. This noise obscures genuine sentiment and suggests a lack of recent anime collaborations that resonate with this specific demographic.
Specific Asks:
Add Hawks (and potentially other MHA characters) to the in-game store.
Acknowledge the long-standing absence of this specific IP in recent seasons.
Whose Demand: This cluster is almost entirely driven by a single ordinary player acting as a persistent advocate. There is no evidence of demand from Epic Partners, creators, or staff; the signal is artificially amplified by one user’s repetitive posting strategy rather than organic community consensus.
Recommendation: Do not treat this as a critical bug or high-priority feature request based on volume alone. Instead, analyze the broader trend of anime collaboration requests to see if MHA is a top-tier IP for the current season. If MHA is not on the roadmap, consider a generic community acknowledgment tweet to de-escalate the "day counter" narrative, or ignore if it is deemed low-value noise.

🔧 Closest config Epic actually shipped — from the implementation tracker (build 41.00). Similarity, not a verdict.
