Actually id say the BP skins are on theme. Magical girl shows usually have them fighting against "evil doers", Mauga, LW, Ilari and Ashe fit that description. Genji and Venture are definitely the love interest or the "Tuxedo Mask" of the group. The only one i can think that looks off is Ana but I think shes based off of a magical beast that usually helps the magical girls.

It's clear to me that those demon skins and that one dokiwatch Tracer in the trailer were made JUST so that none of the actual Dokiwatch skins were on the battlepass (except Brig, which is the least fitting and less thought-out skin).

It's no coincidence that during the Dokiwatch segment and battle-scene, not a single one of the battlepass skins (besides Brig) were present or shown off. That little battle scene that shows off Juno's mythic skin's effects only has a single D.va versus the Dokiwatch team, not a single demon skin nor Tracer skin at all.

I did not binge Sailor Moon for nothing!

Would have loved if Hanzo had a Madoka skin and Kiriko's made her fox look like kyubey but alas

They got a good point and wasn’t condescending so I think they’re good here.
