Yu-Gi-Oh!'s New Cup Noodle Collab Comes With Exclusive Promo Card

A new collaboration has been announced between the hit trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and the popular instant ramen brand Cup Noodle.

The team-up between the two recognisable brands is set to include a special promotional version of one of the series’ magic cards, making it a sought after collectible for fans.

The incredibly popular Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise is currently celebrating the monumental 25th anniversary of its original animated television series.

With multiple different anime series now included in the franchise, each individual series typically follows passionate duelists who summon magical monsters and utilize complex strategies to defeat their opponents in high-stakes card battles.

At the exact same time, the globally recognized Cup Noodle brand is celebrating its own impressive 55th anniversary in the food industry.

This unique promotional partnership commemorates both massive milestones by recreating a highly recognizable piece of trading card artwork in the real world.

The cup noodle packaging is a replica of the instant noodles shown on the famous “Instant Fusion” spell card from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game.

Fans who order the limited “Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Cup Noodle Instant Fusion 20-Meal Limited Set with Collab Card” will receive 20 individual servings of Nissin’s instant ramen which will feature a special packaging design directly mimicking the cup drawn in the card’s original artwork.

While the exterior is fully customized for the event, the company has confirmed that the noodles and soup inside remain the classic, standard recipe.

The cardboard packaging of the 20 pack of noodles has also been redesigned for the collaboration, with the artwork featured on the back of Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards having been cleverly placed on the top of the box.

Buyers will also receive one exclusive physical copy of the promotional “Instant Fusion” trading card to add to their personal decks.

This special promotional card features the official Cup Noodle logo stamped onto the artwork, differentiating it from the standard card and turning it into an exclusive collectible piece for fans.

The “Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Cup Noodle Instant Fusion 20-Meal Limited Set with Collab Card” is priced at 4,800 yen (approx. $32 USD / £25 GBP).

Pre-orders for the ramen set will open on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 12:00 PM JST, with sales being handled exclusively through the official Nissin Food Group Online Store.

Shipping is currently scheduled for late March 2026, and purchases are strictly limited to four sets per person.
