Elden Ring players are making anime characters from shows like One Piece, Berserk

Elden RingThe popular shonen anime has something in common with the popular shonen manga: Both have characters who face seemingly unsurmountable obstacles. If the hero has some tricks and a little bit of sage advice, both can defeat the most powerful boss. (And in both cases, wielding a giant-ass sword doesn’t hurt, either.)

These aren’t lost parallels Elden Ring fans. We’re now seeing trends on TikTok where fans design characters who look like the stars of their favorite shows, like Demon Slayer A single piece. They’re showing off their favorite weapons that remind them of the powers their favorite anime heroes wield.

Up to now, many fans have made characters from the game like Roronoa Zooro (swordsman). One Piece. Drtopazz’s TikTok video shows an Zoro-inspired character dual-wielding (also called a power stance), while beating his boss. (Unfortunately, Drtopazz’s character can’t do Zoro’s signature three-sword style technique, where he puts a blade in his mouth, but this is close enough.)

In the next video, one player jokes about how they spent so much time creating a character that they ended up making it look like Inosuke Hashibora. Demon Slayer.

Numerous fans brought up the topic. BleachThe film features warriors from other worlds using powers. The flash step is used to fight in this video.

A TikTok from Minstora shows a weapon that looks like an exact copy of Uryu Ishida’s power — which allows him to channel energy through a bow and arrow. It has been viewed more than 2.9 million times and the creator has an entire series called “Elden Ring as anime” on their TikTok.

Here’s a video that shows an attack that is very much like the Dimension Slash. Black Clover. It’s been viewed more than 3.4 million times.

It is noted in some videos that Play Elden RingFeels almost like anime. The end of each day I feel like an anime. Elden Ring, like anime and video games that have come before it, speaks to the eternal truism that — again — it’s a lot of fun to swing a big-ass sword.
