Forget Hatsune Miku — This Fortnite anime skin is better and much cheaper
Dexerto / Epic GamesDespite some backlash from fans who were either disappointed by or unfamiliar with Hatsune Miku, the Fortnite community had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Japanese virtual pop star and Vocaloid for years.
When Miku finally arrived as the headliner for Season 7 of Fortnite Festival, complete with her own Music Pass and two exclusive skins, she was praised by many.
However, shortly after Miku’s release, a somewhat hidden and unexpected anime skin emerged that shares many of Miku’s characteristics. This skin, Nemia, debuted in Chapter 6 Season 1, and has rightfully gained praise for her design and affordable price point.
Nemia vs Hatsune Miku skin comparison
Dexerto / Epic GamesComparing the two, Nemia closely resembles the standard Hatsune Miku skin found in the Item Shop. She sports her signature look of a uniform with a shirt, tie, skirt, and even Miku’s iconic light blue/green pigtails.
But, the main difference lies in her bright red skin and devil horns, which make her stand out as unique while still being incredibly cute. These features make the Chapter 6 skin one of the best original designs Epic has released—especially for anime fans like myself.
From a V-Bucks perspective, Nemia also offers better value—she’s 300 V-Bucks cheaper than Miku, priced at 1,200 V-Bucks compared to Miku’s 1,500 V-Bucks. Additionally, her bundle costs just 1,800 V-Bucks, nearly half the price of Miku’s 3,200 V-Bucks bundle.
While Miku’s bundle includes nine cosmetics compared to Nemia’s six, the price difference makes it feel like less of an upgrade. In fact, Nemia’s pack arguably offers better cosmetic rewards overall.
Personally, I’d much prefer a bonus Pickaxe, Wrap, and Guitar (as shown below), over a Contrail, two Emotes, a Jam Track, a Microphone, and a Drum Kit for a further 1,400 V-Bucks, any day.
What does the community think?
The new Epic original skin has been growing an increasing fandom among those in the community. This was highlighted by one player who posted to the FortniteBR reddit: “I get that everyone loves Miku but…” featuring various images showing off the anime-style character.
A player praised, “She’s way better than Miku. Her facial expressions are so damn cute,” as one more chimed in, “She shot right up into my top 3 skins, instant favorite.”
Another added: “If I could, I would already own her bundle, but alas I’m broke lol. She really is a good skin, though. I love her style—looks so cute to me,” one shared.
To this, the author responded, “Fell in love with her Gyaru Oni Girl aesthetic the second I saw the survey art. She’s easily up there with Lexa Hexbringer and Winter Wonder Skye for me in terms of cuteness.”

Hatsune Miku and Nemia weren’t the only exciting additions to Fortnite following the 33.20 update, with Godzilla making his grand entrance on January 17. The Godzilla x Kong event, brought two skins—Godzilla Evolved and Mechagodzilla—and even offering players the chance to unlock King Kong.
The Fortnite event has already proven to be a massive improvement over Warzone’s similar offering and we don’t even think it’s close.
