Move overSpider-ManandThe Joker– there’s a new Halloween costume in town.
Fortnitestreamer Ninja is, for all intents and purposes, on top of the world right now. Not only has the 27-year-old streamerplayedFortnitewithDrake, gracedESPN’scover, andappeared in a Samsung commercial with Travis Scott, he’s also one of this year’s hottest Halloween costumes. Yes, Ninja, someone who plays video games for a living, has permeated the cultural zeitgeist so extensively that he’s now a massively popular Halloween costume.
Notably, the Ninja costume is more popular with children than any other demographic. In fact, a cursory search through Twitter didn’t show meanyadults dressing up as the popular Twitch streamer. This doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise; bothFortniteand Ninja are incredibly popular with children. In the past, Blevins has spoken about making strides to keep his streamsfamily friendly.
How exactly does one dress up as Ninja? Simple– apply some blue hair dye, don Ninja’s iconic headband, and grab aFortniteprop. Voilà, you’re now the most popular streamer on Twitch.
Now, without further ado, I present to you the Ninjas of Halloween.
Our first Ninja comes to us courtesy of Twitter userSarah Killackey. In her inaugural tweet (welcome to Twitter, Sarah!), Killackey shows off a magnificent group costume that includes two ofFortnite’s Brite Bombers accompanied by a miniature version of Ninja himself. This Ninja hits all of the marks. Headband? Check. Blue hair? Check. Headphones? Check.Detroit Lions sweatshirt? Nice touch, check.
Our next Ninja comes to us from Twitter user@spamqwerty123.In addition to sporting Ninja’s memorable blue hair color and a Ninja t-shirt, this Ninja also wields one ofFortnite’s signature Supply Llamas. I like your style, little Ninja. Keep it up.
That’s not all. There’s a Ninja seen hanging out with the DJ Marshmello.
There’s a Ninja that drinksFortnite’ssignature Slurp Juice.
There’s a Ninja hanging out withFortnite’s ominously upbeat Tomato Head skin.
And, of course, a Ninja just happy to be Ninja.
That’s it for this Halloween, folks. Will Ninja still be a popular costume next year? If it means less Super Marios, I can only hope so.
