BODY: Imagine Luffy gnawing a giant turkey leg while a T-Rex looms behind him. That's not a fever dream โ it's official merchandise. Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is celebrating its 25th anniversary by crashing its most beloved anime franchises into the rides that built the park, with a special goods line dropping September 9, 2026.
The headline pairings are irresistible. One Piece ร Jurassic Park throws the Straw Hats into dinosaur country, marrying the manga's adventure spirit with the attraction's primal chaos. Detective Conan ร Back to the Future reimagines Conan and Professor Agasa in a design that lovingly apes the film's iconic orange-and-blue movie poster. And for horror fans, Tomie ร Street Zombie delivers a genuinely unsettling collaboration drawn from Junji Ito's cult classic.
The range spans t-shirts, tote bags, stainless steel bottles, figures, and mugs. USJ hasn't disclosed pricing yet, but the goods will be sold exclusively at the park's Studio Style store โ and you'll need a valid same-day admission ticket or annual pass in hand to buy. Expect numbered tickets (ๆด็ๅธ) to be handed out if crowds get heavy.
Adding weight to the milestone, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda and Detective Conan's Gosho Aoyama both sent congratulatory messages to mark the anniversary โ a rare co-sign from two of manga's biggest names.
The insider take
Japanese theme-park merch operates on scarcity, and USJ knows it. Park-exclusive, ticket-gated goods like these tend to evaporate within days, then reappear on Mercari and Yahoo Auctions at double the price โ which is exactly why the numbered-ticket system exists. For overseas fans, the Junji Ito tie-in is the real sleeper hit: Tomie merchandise rarely gets an official mass-market run this size, making it the piece collectors will chase hardest. If you're planning an autumn Osaka trip, aim for opening week and go early โ the Studio Style store near the park entrance draws lines before the rides even open.
