Berserk Focuses on Guts’ and Zodd’s Rivalry for Massive New Official Merch Collection
Bandai has officially revealed the complete prize lineup for its upcoming Berserk Ichiban Kuji, with Guts and Zodd taking center stage across new figures, replica manga artwork, and several returning concepts from earlier releases.
“Ichiban Kuji Berserk: Twin Poles of Fate” will arrive in Japan later this month, with its newly revealed prizes ranging from a framed reproduction of Kentaro Miura’s artwork through to the first MASTERLISE figure of Zodd in his human form.
The latest lottery also connects directly with 2024’s popular “Ichiban Kuji Berserk: The Black Swordsman Who Defies Fate,” as several of its prizes have been designed to work alongside or revisit items from that earlier release.
As with other Ichiban Kuji releases, every ticket guarantees a prize, while whoever purchases the final remaining ticket at a participating location receives the separate Last One Prize.
Let’s take a look at the complete lineup!
- A Prize – “Replica Original Artwork”
A reproduction of Miura’s original manga artwork depicting the fateful confrontation between Guts and Zodd, presented inside a specially sculpted frame from Bandai’s new EPITAFRAME brand.
The reproduced artwork is designed to retain the appearance of Miura’s original pen work, while the exclusive three-dimensional frame incorporates details inspired by the world of Berserk.
- B Prize – “Guts MASTERLISE” (2 designs, randomized)
An approximately 24 cm figure of Guts wearing the Berserker Armor, available with either his helmet fitted or his face exposed, with the version received selected at random.
An interchangeable arm from the C Prize can also be attached to let Guts wield the Dragon Slayer.
- C Prize – “Dragon Slayer MASTERLISE”
Guts’ enormous sword returns as a MASTERLISE display piece with a revised finish inspired by the aftermath of battle and a base given a hotter, glowing color treatment.
The included interchangeable arm can be used with the new B Prize Guts or the Guts figure from “The Black Swordsman Who Defies Fate,” allowing either figure to hold the Dragon Slayer.
- D Prize – “Beast of Dreams MASTERLISE”
The mysterious black beast encountered within the world of dreams receives its first MASTERLISE figure, recreating the creature that appears while guiding Schierke and Farnese.
- E Prize – “Zodd SOFVICS”
Zodd returns as an imposing approximately 30 cm soft vinyl figure, this time recreating his two-horned apostle appearance in a powerful roaring pose designed to be displayed opposite Guts.
- F Prize – “Big Jacquard Towel”
A large jacquard towel centered around the Crimson Behelit, combining one of Berserk’s most recognizable objects with a practical fabric prize.
- G Prize – “Head Magnet” (6 designs, randomized)
The first head magnet collection created for the Berserk Ichiban Kuji series includes designs based on the Berserker Armor, Zodd, Skull Knight, and the Behelit, with the exact version received selected at random.
- H Prize – “Jacquard Towel” (8 designs, selectable)
Eight different hand towels featuring characters and familiar imagery from across Berserk.
- I Prize – “Canvas Style Board” (25 designs, selectable)
The extensive 25-design collection recreates Berserk manga cover artwork in a canvas-style format, continuing through designs based on the latest volumes of the series.
- Last One Prize – “Zodd Human Form MASTERLISE”
Zodd’s human form receives its first MASTERLISE figure, standing approximately 28 cm tall and capturing the warrior before his transformation into the enormous apostle represented by the E Prize.
The Last One Zodd will also be offered through the Double Chance Campaign, with 50 additional figures available across physical and online sales through the end of December 2026.
“Ichiban Kuji Berserk: Twin Poles of Fate” will begin rolling out across Japan on September 25 through Lawson, Ministop, and Daily Yamazaki convenience stores alongside bookstores, hobby stores, selected drugstores, and official Ichiban Kuji locations.
Ichiban Kuji Online sales will follow at 5:00 PM JST on October 8, with each draw priced at ¥850 (approx. $5 USD / £4 GBP).
