Said character is Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho, who was revealed a couple of weeks ago with a fall release window on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The newly-released Nintendo Switch version will get him a few months later, in 2021.

Despite not being the main protagonist, Hiei has always been one of the most popular characters of the Yu Yu Hakusho manga and anime, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him become a fan-favorite in Jump Force as well.

You can check out the trailer below and see if it gets you excited about Hiei’s upcoming release.

The character pass that includes Hiei also comes with Shoto Todoroki from My Hero AcademiaHunter X Hunter’s antagonist Meruem, and two heroes (or villains) from two super-popular manga and anime series, Bleach and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

At the moment we haven’t seen any hint on who those two characters may be, but they’re likely to be announced sooner rather than later.

Jump Force is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. If you want to know whether it’s any good, you can read our review.
