What this is
The Anime WORLD TRIGGER Exhibition 'REBOOT' is a dedicated fan exhibition commemorating the REBOOT project for the long-running manga and anime series World Trigger, created by Daisuke Ashihara. The exhibition reviews the story from its very beginning, offering fans a deep dive into the series' narrative arc through displays, panels, and merchandise. World Trigger, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2013 and has since spawned multiple anime seasons, follows the Border defense agency protecting humanity from interdimensional invaders called Neighbors. The exhibition tours two major Japanese cities — Tokyo in summer 2026 and Osaka in winter 2026 — making it accessible to fans across the country.
Who should go
This exhibition is tailor-made for fans of the World Trigger manga and anime series who want to immerse themselves in the story's history and celebrate the REBOOT project milestone. It will also appeal to anime enthusiasts who enjoy curated exhibition-style events featuring original artwork, story panels, and exclusive merchandise. Families with older children and elementary school students are catered for with discounted ticket tiers. Arrive early on weekends and public holidays to avoid queues, as anime exhibitions at Sunshine City tend to draw large crowds.
Good to know
Advance tickets are available through the official event website until August 10, 2026 at 23:59 — foreign credit cards are generally accepted on major Japanese ticketing platforms, but convenience store pickup (combini) at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Ikebukuro Sunshine City Exhibition Hall C is a well-known indoor exhibition space within the Sunshine City complex; it is a manageable walking distance from Ikebukuro Station's east exit and is clearly signposted inside the mall. The venue is fully indoors and air-conditioned, which is a welcome relief during Tokyo's hot August. Some dates may operate on a date-and-time designated ticket system, so confirm your entry slot in advance and arrive a few minutes early to avoid missing your window. Merchandise lines at popular anime exhibitions in Japan can be long — consider purchasing the goods-included ticket in advance to skip the separate merch queue.
