Jump Amusement Island

Event attendees could visit Jump Amusement Island to experience a huge range of events and activities spread over the full two days, such as the DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS play corner, the new info stage, and more!

Toei Animation Booth

The Toei Animation Booth was easily distinguishable thanks to the massive screen set up at its entrance, where fans would also be greeted by statues of two stars of the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO movie, Gohan and Piccolo! There was even a model of Piccolo's house on the other side of the board behind them!

You've never seen a photo spot like this! Fans were able to snap memorable photographs of themselves wearing the famous white cape, fighting against Cell Max alongside Gohan, and even firing a Makankosappo: Special Beam Cannon with the help of Piccolo himself!

Goku was hanging out during the event too! Fans vising the booth were able to take a commemorative photo with Goku, firing off a Kamehameha or striking the Fusion pose!

Bandai / Bandai Spirits Booth

This booth was overflowing with Dragon Ball merch and figures! There were impressive exhibits featuring a whole catalogue of past figures released to date on display, as well as exciting sneak peeks at a couple of upcoming items slated for release in the near future!

One of the featured figures was S.H.Figuarts Broly - SUPER HERO, which had just recently opened for pre-orders! The level of detail the designers put into recreating Broly's teary expression we saw at the end of Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO almost brought us to tears ourselves!

Other figures on display from various S.H.Figuarts series included the giant Porunga statue, three forms of Frieza, and the new S.H.Figuarts Pan - SUPER HERO (which is currently available for pre-order!) being watched over by Piccolo in the background!
*For ages 15 and over.

There was also a ton of SUPER HERO-related merch on display, such as game-center-exclusive prize items and "Dragon Ball Carddass Premium Edition", a special set full of stunning cards!

The Penenko Smartphone Case, which is available for pre-order until January 6, 2023, was on display too! We love the way the designers have captured Penenko's round, squishy-looking body, and it looks even cuter in real life!

Here we have the DRAGON BALL ADVERGE SUPER HERO SET, available for pre-order until February 9, 2023, and DRAGON BALL ADVERGE 16, on sale from April 2023! The special Orange Piccolo and Cell Max figures really do stand out from the standard Adverge-size figures when you put them side-by-side!
