Overwatch 2’s devs in the past have certainly declared themselves as self-professed nerds for anime. And it shows throughout Overwatch’s history, withvarious easter eggsto Dragon Ball Z, Re:Zero, and Ghost in the Shell.
This was further bolstered with theOne Punch Man crossover eventin Season 3 of Overwatch 2, which saw Doomfist dress up as Saitama, Kiriko and Terrible Tornado, Soldier 76 as Mumen Rider, and Genji as Genos.

During alivestream from the Overwatch devsrevealing new details for the upcomingOverwatch 2: Invasionupdate, they showcased the two new maps which were coming into the game alongisde PvP game mode, Flashpoint.
The two new, Suravasa and New Junk City, gave us our first look at how the mode functions and its general structure.
But eagle-eyed players noticed that during a free-roam camera shot of New Junk City, there were multiple billboards throughout the map of Junker Queen. Specifically, in a pose similar to the ever-popular Dio meme.
Naturally, fans were excited by the JoJo reference, with many players wondering if it would be turned into a spray, or perhaps, a full-fledged JoJo crossover.
OPM’s crossover came about because of a voice line referencing the anime, and perhaps we may get another such crossover in the future.
