Though the main event will be held in Tokyo, five other Animate stores throughout Japan will also sell the special merchandise and offer the bonus items. In addition, a 30th anniversary Blu-ray Disc box set for the anime will ship in Japan on December 5.
Sunrise created the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers action television anime in 1988-1989, and Cartoon Network ran it as Ronin Warriors in the United States. Crunchyroll began streaming the series in the United States and Canada in 2017. Bandai Entertainment previously released the series on DVD, and Discotek Media released the full series on DVD with English subtitles in 2015.
Discotek also released the Samurai Troopers OVA series with both English and Japanese audio.
