Fans have noticed a new Blue Protocol: Star Resonance item that looks almost identical to Destiny 2’s Ghost, and the resemblance is hard to ignore.
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, developed by Bokura Network Technology, just launched worldwide earlier this month, and it’s already turning heads. But it’s not just the flashy anime-style characters that are grabbing attention. Players recently noticed something unusual in the game’s season store: an item that looks exactly like Destiny 2’s Ghost companion.
The item, called Emblem Power Parts, is a “growth item” used to upgrade Emblem Cores, part of Blue Protocol’s seasonal progression system that unlocks new passive abilities. On paper, it’s just another upgrade material you can earn or buy from the Season Shop. But visually? It’s hard to ignore the resemblance to Destiny 2’s floating assistant that’s been a recognizable symbol of Bungie’s sci-fi looter shooter MMO for over a decade.
The Unofficial Blue Protocol: Star Resonance and Destiny 2 Collab?
Screenshots shared across social media show the Emblem Power Parts item side-by-side with Destiny 2’s Ghost, and the likeness is uncanny. Both share a white shell with a circular “eye” in the center; the overall shape and proportions look almost identical.
There are a few differences, though mostly in the textures. In Destiny 2, the Ghost’s “eye” features a glowing diamond-shaped icon. Blue Protocol’s version swaps that out for a flat blue disc covering the center, accented by two thin horizontal lines stretching outward.
Check out the side-by-side comparison below.
Structurally, the Emblem Power Parts feel strikingly similar with only surface-level adjustments, which explains why so many players are doing a double-take. The in-game description for the Emblem Power Parts reads:
“To commend adventurers with outstanding performance in the current season, Pioneer Bureau gifts Power Components upon their title promotion. These can be activated to Emblem Cores to enhance their effects. More can be exchanged using current season points in the Season Store.”
What’s raising even more concern is that Emblem Power Parts aren’t just earned through normal gameplay; they’re also included in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance’s paid battle passes, which cost real money. Both the $9.99 “Advanced” and $19.99 “Supreme” passes list the item as part of their reward track, meaning players are indirectly paying for something that looks nearly identical to Destiny 2’s Ghost.
That’s where things get tricky. If this resemblance isn’t officially licensed or cleared, it could cross into uncomfortable territory for Bungie, since the design is being used as part of a monetized system. Selling an item that mirrors such a recognizable piece of Destiny’s identity could open the door for copyright concerns, especially when it’s tied to real-money purchases rather than a free cosmetic.
So far, neither the developers nor publisher A Plus Japan have commented on this.
