be Legend Launches New Haikyu!! Collab Protein Powder
Japanese supplement manufacturer Real Style has announced a new collaboration between its popular “be LEGEND” fitness brand and the hit volleyball anime series “Haikyu!!”.
The newly revealed “Haikyu!! x be LEGEND Sports & Wellness Collection: Gungun Banana Whey Protein Powder” brings a familiar everyday beverage from the series into the real world.
The brand has officially commercialized the iconic “Gungun Banana” drink frequently seen being enjoyed by the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club during their breaks.
The protein powder’s formula emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition and daily recovery heavily portrayed throughout the animated series.
The mild, easy-to-drink banana shake flavor utilizes the brand’s unique “Sports & Wellness” mixture.
A single serving provides 15 grams of essential protein alongside the carbohydrate energy equivalent of a whole banana.
The mixture also incorporates fast-absorbing maltodextrin, making it an ideal nutritional boost for busy mornings or intense post-workout recovery.
The athletic anime franchise continues to ride a massive wave of global popularity following the 2024 theatrical release of “Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle”, which surpassed a staggering 20 billion yen at the worldwide box office.
Excitement is poised to reach even greater heights with the upcoming 2027 releases of the sequel film “VS Little Giant” and the special anime episode “Where the Monsters Go”.
Fans looking to fuel their own training can pick from two unique collaborative items:
- Whey Protein “Gungun Banana” Flavor (600g)
- Priced at 3,480 yen (approx. $23 USD / £18 GBP).
Includes a random water-resistant character sticker and a beginner-friendly “Haikyu!! Protein Textbook”.
- Dumbbell Shaker Karasuno High School Volleyball Club (500ml)
- Priced at 570 yen (approx. $4 USD / £3 GBP).
