All Apex Legends anime references from the Gaiden event skins Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends Gaiden event patch gave the battle royale\u2019s cast a host of skins that paid tribute to popular anime like My Hero Academia, One Piece, Naruto, and more. In its latest content updated, Respawn Entertainment gave various Legends cosmetics with strange colorways. The seemingly random skins made a lot more sense after seeing the Apex Legends anime short that the studio released alongside the patch. That\u2019s when people like Reddit user \u2018NerdMaster18\u2019 connected the dots to find fit all the skins to their appropriate anime references. Some make more sense than others, but it\u2019s still a great passion project that quickly became a hit for fans. For people still trying to make out what the Apex Legends anime references are about, there\u2019s a full breakdown below. While there were a few skins that were hard to place, seeing them side-by-side to their source material really pulls back the curtain of Respawn\u2019s thinking. For example, the green-haired Mirage is meant to reference My Hero Academia\u2019s Izuku Midoriya, while Fuse takes after Fullmetal Alchemist protagonist Edward Elric. Apex Legends anime skins: Wattson \u2013 Naruto (Naruto) – Octane \u2013 Luffy (One Piece) – Mirage \u2013 Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia) – Revenant \u2013 Unit 09 (Neon Genesis Evangelion) – Fuse \u2013 Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) – Bloodhound \u2013 Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul) – Crypto \u2013 Goku (Dragon Ball Z) – Seer \u2013 Tuxedo Mask (Sailor Moon) – Bangalore \u2013 Sailor Mars (Sailor Moon) – Respawn have included references to anime in game teasers before, but never actually incorporated them into the game. There was the cryptic inclusion of popular manga a year ago, which never amounted to much except to showcase the studio\u2019s love of anime. The Gaiden event skins have been extremely popular among the Apex Legends community so far, so here\u2019s hoping more anime cosmetics are one the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
