Boku no Hero Academia ‘Kachinuke! Game Battle’ Merch Pre-Sold at AGF2026

The Animate Girls Festival 2026 (AGF2026), a large-scale event in Ikebukuro that brings together anime, comics, voice actors, merchandise, otome games, cosplay, and more, will be held from November 7 to November 8, 2026 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City and other venues. At the YTE booth, new merchandise using a newly drawn visual for the anime Boku no Hero Academia, titled the ‘Kachinuke! Game Battle’ series, will be available for pre-sale.

Boku no Hero Academia is an anime based on Horikoshi Kouhei’s hero action manga, which ran in Weekly Shonen Jump for 10 years and has surpassed 100 million copies in worldwide circulation for its compiled volumes. The story is set in a world where about 80% of the population possesses some kind of supernatural ability called a ‘Kosei’ (Quirk). It follows the growth, battles, and friendships of protagonist Deku—Midoriya Izuku—and his classmates at U.A. High School as they aim to become professional heroes who protect people and society from accidents, disasters, and criminals known as Villains who misuse Quirks.

The anime began with its first season in April 2016 and aired eight seasons and 170 episodes through the 2025 FINAL SEASON, with four theatrical films also released. From April 2026, the 10th anniversary project ‘Boku no Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary’ is being rolled out.

The ‘Kachinuke! Game Battle’ goods pre-sold at AGF2026 feature a newly drawn visual of characters energetically taking on games in pursuit of victory. The lineup includes double-pocket clear files, card sets, trading hologram can badges, stickers, acrylic stands, trading game cassette-style acrylic keyholders, and magnet sheets.

A pixel-art style newly drawn deformed illustration collection is also being developed. In addition to trading mini acrylic stands, which have a design that looks as if the characters have jumped out of a game world, the lineup includes trading can badges and trading crane game-style acrylic keyholders. All items will be available for the six characters: Midoriya Izuku, Bakugou Katsuki, Todoroki Shouto, Kirishima Eijirou, Kaminari Denki, and Shinsou Hitoshi.

AGF2026 will be held from November 7 to November 8, 2026 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City and other venues. In addition, ‘AGF2026 YTE Shucchoujo in animate’ will be held at Animate stores nationwide from November 28 to December 20, 2026. This is a chance to obtain merchandise featuring the newly drawn and newly illustrated visuals around the same time as AGF2026.
