The latest issue of Weekly Jump confirms Nami, Robin, Hancock, and Perona as playable characters in One Pice: Burning Blood.

Nami battles laying out traps for the opponent inflicting big damage with her lightning finishing attack. Robin uses various locking techniques through the power of the Hana-Hana Fruit, as well as mid-range throwing techniques. Hancock has not only powerful long-range attacks and petrify abilities, but can also deal damage in the Logia system using Haki. Perona can not only deplete the opponents’ life and capabilities gauge with her Hollow, but can deal great damage with her special Hollow.

[Tizoc]

When did Perona get so popular

 

[Warxard]

HOROHOROHORO~

 

[Boogdud]

When did Perona get so popular

When she became ship material for Zoro..

 

[cw_sasuke]

Oh Hancock...sweet.

When did Perona get so popular

Ever since she was introduced.

 

[Shinriji]

LOL Perona, even Tashigi would be a better choice.

 

[BatDan]

Now everyone can stop screaming that Burning Blood is sexist.
You only had to be patient.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Burning Blood definitely isn't sexist.

Spoiler

One Piece is though.

 

[Rhaknar]

People were complaining about this? Shit.

 

[Newtype-001]

When did Perona get so popular

Ever since she was chilling at mihawks place during zoros training.

 

[BatDan]

People were complaining about this? Shit.

Yep. Saw people crying that there were no women.

 

[pizzacat]

Koala when? Seriously she's the best one here just to get overshadowed by that clown

 

[SquirrelSoup]

is BB another musou style game?

1v1 arena fighter. Expect something like J-stars Victory VS since it's by the same dev.

 

[Rhaknar]

Nope its a fighting game.

oh shit its a 1 v 1 joint like the Naruto games?

 

[Mesoian]

Nope its a fighting game.

Is this the Storm fighting system?

Gross.

 

[A.J.]

Koala when? Seriously she's the best one here just to get overshadowed by that clown

Isn't her fighting style just mid level fishman karate?

 

[massoluk]

When she became ship material for Zoro..

Terrible people.

 

[pizzacat]

Isn't her fighting style just mid level fishman karate?

Do you see any fishmen yet? She would also be the only one with out water abilities (I assume) so she would play different to someone like Jinbei (again assuming)

 

[Stone Ocean]

Perona and Hancock yessss

When did Perona get so popular

She's always been popular. Then the timeskip happened.

 

[wheeplash]

Mero mero merooo!

 

[NoKisum]

Is this the Storm fighting system?

Gross.

Nah, not Storm. They're using the J-Stars Victory engine.

Spoiler

So, even worse.

 

[A.J.]

Jinbei's not in yet? Pretty big omission leaving him out.

 

[TheHater]

I'm prepare for Negative Ghost Lady vs Long Nose Negative Man part II

 

[HassanJamal]

Finally.

 

[Sora_N]

Now I might have to buy it when the price drops.

 

[Slaythe]

Nah, not Storm. They're using the J-Stars Victory engine.

Spoiler

So, even worse.

It s better than Jstars and Naruto games.

 

[Quintin DM]

Now everyone can stop screaming that Burning Blood is sexist.
You only had to be patient.

Ya, it was ridiculous that anyone honestly thought that there would be no female playable characters.

 

[pizzacat]

I'm prepare for Negative Ghost Lady vs Long Nose Negative Man part II

if anything its become robin with those sly negative comments she has when shit hits the fan

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Ya, it was ridiculous that anyone honestly thought that there would be no female playable characters.

With 19 guys and 0 girls playable before this announcement, the worries seemed partly justified to me.

 

[Matrix XII]

Lol I love that about Robin. Those comments are understated and hilarious. She makes me laugh almost every time with those comments, or when she is sketching some monster in a critical moment.

 

[Phu]

Can't wait to see their trailer. The confirmation is cool but I'm sure I'll get more excited with a video with crazy action lines and people yelling their signature moves.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Perona next nakama CONFIRMED

 

[Matrix XII]

Perona next nakama CONFIRMED

Never thought about that. My wife wouldn't be happy because she hates her laugh lol

 

[Slayven]

But only Boa, knows haki . Robin knowing armor haki would be OP as fuck

 

[Mesoian]

Nah, not Storm. They're using the J-Stars Victory engine.

Spoiler

So, even worse.

Ugh.

I'm getting really tired of these all flash, no depth anime fighters cashing in on big licenses. Feels like ASW is the only place I can go to get a halfway decent fighters with pre-existing characters these days.

 

[NoKisum]

With 19 guys and 0 girls playable before this announcement, the worries seemed partly justified to me.

Are there any major fighting games that have absolutely no female characters in them?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

But only Boa, knows haki . Robin knowing armor haki would be OP as fuck

All those Haki arms

 

[NZerker12]

At least we now have some female characters and the best ones infact but come on add Ivankov already, I want to wink everyone to death

Spoiler

and perhaps genderswitch everyone.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Surprised to see Perona showing up. Haven't got past episodes 400~ so far but I figured her role was going to stay relegated to a minor part. I hope they throw in some more though like Alvida and Bonnie, 4 is a little bit slim of an offering considering just how many characters there are in the source material. If they release yet another Vita port on PC though then this is me completely done with hoping for a good One Piece game.

 

[Skele7on]

Perona is aaaaaaaaawesome happy to have her onboard

Also lol stupidly googled "perona and mihawk and went google images at work"

So that's now there....

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Are there any major fighting games that have absolutely no female characters in them?

Not that i know of, but this isn't a 'major fighting game' either. Niche anime fighters with only male characters definitely exist.

I hope they still add Tashigi. Tashigi's cool.

 

[Slayven]

All those Haki arms

Exactly

She could sprout an arm on somebody's stomach and dick punch them with an haki arm

 

[Stone Ocean]

This is a One Piece game, not some Otokojuku fighting game lol there was literally no chance this wasn't gonna have female characters

 

[spindashing]

When did Perona get so popular

With a design like that, she was destined to be real popular.

Is my girl Tashigi in this yet?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Exactly

Yup, should come in handy (lulz), maybe she'll learn it by the time they

Spoiler

take on the four emperors.

 

[Luigi87]

Perona has one of my favourite laughs in One Piece.

Spoiler

Moria too, but I don't care much about him.

 

[Stone Ocean]

With a design like that, she was destined to be real popular.

Is my girl Tashigi in this yet?

I fully expect Tashigi to be in

And by Tashigi I mean Smoker

 

[jbug617]

I hope Marco is going to be in this
