New My Hero Academia merchandise using a newly drawn illustration series called "Kachinuke! Game Battle" (勝ち抜け！ゲームバトル) goes on advance sale at the YTE booth at Animate Girls Festival 2026, which runs November 7 and 8, 2026 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City and other venues, according to an Anime! Anime! report. The artwork shows characters from the anime taking on games as they try to win.
The lineup includes a double pocket clear file, a card set, trading hologram can badges, stickers, acrylic stands, trading acrylic keychains styled after game cassettes, and magnet sheets.
A second group of items uses new chibi illustrations in a pixel-art style: trading mini acrylic stands, trading can badges and trading crane game-style acrylic keychains. Those items each come in versions for six characters: Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari and Hitoshi Shinso.
YTE will also carry the goods at satellite shops in animate stores nationwide from November 28 to December 20, 2026.
At both the festival booth and the animate shops, every ¥2,000 (tax included) spent on one series' eligible products comes with one random bonus postcard for that series. Designs cannot be chosen, purchase totals are counted per series rather than combined across titles, and distribution ends once supplies run out.
The booth carries three other new illustration series alongside My Hero Academia: Detective Conan's "Blue Butterfly Forest," Blue Lock's "Utatane" (a doze or nap), and Tougen Anki's "Étoile Style -Hoshikage-." Event hours are 9:00 to 17:00 JST, with the last new entry at 16:30.
