Bandai Namco has unveiled a multi-city experiential event titled Jujutsu Kaisen World across Tokyo, Osaka, Hakata, and Yokohama. The multi-city rollout will start at Bandai Namco Cross Store in Ikebukuro, on Aug 7, 2026, before moving towards the next cities.
The experience will feature anime-themed immersive attractions, merchandise, and games. Jujutsu Kaisen World will be themed on the anime aesthetics of the Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) anime.
The event announcement coincides with the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise’s current commercial and cultural momentum. The anime concluded its third season in March, along with the original manga reaching among the top ten most-sold manga with 150M copies in circulation.
Jujutsu Kaisen World Event Details: Attractions and Merchandise Strategy
As per the official announcement, the Jujutsu Kaisen World event will take place across the Bandai Namco Cross Stores in all selected cities. As of now, it will run in Tokyo from Aug 7 to Sept 27, 2026; dates for the other cities will be announced in the near future.
Bandai Namco’s initiative is aimed at giving fans an authentic experience of the JJK anime’s worldbuilding with this immersive event. The event features multiple themed attractions, including a Jujutsu High enrollment experience where attendees participate in curse exorcism missions.
Jujutsu Kaisen World will have three mini-games inspired by specific character abilities of the Jujutsu High students. The first game will be Megumi's rabbit escape-inspired fortune game, while Nobara Kugisaki's straw doll technique will be reimagined in a roulette game. Participants can win prizes and enjoy food collaborations through these games.
To make the merchandising more exciting, Jujutsu Kaisen World will bring original goods featuring new illustrations created for the event. Tomoya Mizoguchi is handling the illustrations. There is no ticket system for the event; admission is open to everyone. The event arrives during a crowded summer calendar, and the official JUJU FES 2026 is also scheduled for Aug 29-30 at K Arena Yokohama.
Bandai Namco is positioning Jujutsu Kaisen World as a months-long initiative rather than a one-off event. The initiative will also act as a commercial anchor while the JJK franchise awaits its next season. Whether the Cross Store event can generate substantial revenue remains to be seen as the August launch approaches.
