Nine Ani-Art Lines Spanning the TV Series and JJK 0

Merchandise producer arma bianca launched the campaign today through Animate's online shop, featuring new Ani-Art original illustrations drawn from both the Jujutsu Kaisen TV anime — produced by MAPPA (Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man) — and the 2021 theatrical film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The full lineup spans nine product categories:

  • Trading Aurora Can Badge (8 types) — ¥638 per blind, ¥5,104 per box
  • Trading Foil-Stamped Card (11 types) — ¥418 / ¥4,598 box
  • Trading Bromide (11 types) — ¥308 / ¥3,388 box
  • Trading Clear Die-Cut Sticker (8 types) — ¥583 / ¥4,664 box
  • Trading Acrylic Key Tag (8 types) — ¥693 / ¥5,544 box
  • Aurora BIG Acrylic Stand (8 types) — ¥2,530 each
  • BIG Acrylic Keychain (8 types) — ¥1,155 each
  • BIG Can Badge (8 types) — ¥1,155 each
  • Photo Card Holder (8 types) — ¥2,200 each

All five trading lines guarantee a complete set per unopened box. Individual items are blind-packed, so you can't choose your design — the usual gacha rules apply.

Retailer-Exclusive Bonuses Worth Tracking

The real collector play here is the retailer-specific box bonuses. Each shop carries a different exclusive 75mm Aurora Can Badge set, awarded with a box purchase on a first-come, first-served basis:

  • Animate (available now): Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru in their Hidden Inventory arc designs
  • AMNIBUS (pre-orders open June 8): Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara, and Gojo Satoru
  • AmiAmi (pre-orders open June 8): Okkotsu Yuta and Inumaki Toge

On top of that, every ¥1,100 (roughly $7.30) spent on eligible items during the Animate pre-order window earns one postcard from a four-design set. Designs are random — no picking favorites.

Animate's online pre-order campaign runs through June 7, 2026. Physical in-store sales at select Animate locations begin August 7. The AMNIBUS and AmiAmi storefronts follow on June 8 with their own pre-order windows.

Five Years and 150 Million Copies Later

The campaign lands at a high point for the franchise. Gege Akutami's original manga ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump from March 2018 through September 2024, amassing over 150 million copies in circulation worldwide. The anime adaptation debuted in October 2020, and Season 3 — adapting the Culling Game arc — aired its first cour from January through March 2026 on MBS/TBS.

The 2025 theatrical slate was stacked, too. A Jujutsu Kaisen 0 revival screening in October grossed ¥26.5 billion (approx. $175 million) worldwide, and a Shibuya Incident special edition paired with an advance Culling Game screening hit theaters in November.

Meanwhile, the franchise isn't slowing down on the page. Jujutsu Kaisen ≡ (Modulo), a near-future spinoff with Akutami on story and Yuji Iwasaki on art, is currently running as a short serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Looking Ahead

The 5th anniversary push extends well past merchandise. Juju Fes 2026, the franchise's largest live event to date, is set for August 29-30 at K Arena Yokohama — featuring a live dubbing stage with the voice cast and a special band performance. Between the Animate campaign closing June 7, AMNIBUS and AmiAmi orders opening June 8, and in-store sales launching August 7, collectors have multiple windows to grab what they want.

For international fans, all three online retailers ship within Japan; proxy shipping services like Tenso or Buyee remain the standard route for overseas orders. No international retail partner has been announced for this specific campaign. The full product lineup and campaign details are available on the official 5th anniversary campaign site.
