If you’re a fan of anime, then you’re probably familiar with the Deku Smash move from the popular series My Hero Academia.

The latest season of the show brought a plethora of skins to Fortnite, including characters from the series, along with unique abilities such as the Deku Smash.

Similar to the Dragon Ball crossover, which allowed players to use the Kamehameha move, the Deku Smash was also introduced in Fortnite. The move was quickly embraced by the community, but unfortunately, it was removed from the game after only a few short weeks.
