Get ready, Evangelion fans! A new “Ichiban Kuji” (a no-lose character lottery) titled “Ichiban Kuji Evangelion ~Yamato Sakusen!~” is here, themed around the “Yamato Sakusen” (Operation Yamato) sequence featured in the movie Shin Evangelion Gekijouban. This lottery boasts a lineup of fantastic prizes, including figures, rubber collection items, acrylic stands, and clear posters.
Ichiban Kuji Evangelion ~Yamato Sakusen!~
Anno Hideaki’s Shin Seiki Evangelion, first released in 1995 as a 26-episode TV anime series, depicted the intense battles between young boys and girls piloting gigantic humanoid decisive weapons and mysterious entities known as “Shito.” This SF anime captivated countless fans with its vast world-building and meticulously crafted, intricate settings. Its subsequent expansion into comics, films, and games ignited a social phenomenon across Japan.
The saga reached its epic conclusion in 2021 with the release of the film Shin Evangelion Gekijouban, which shattered series records, achieving a monumental box office success of 10.28 billion yen.
