World Trigger REBOOT Exhibition Opens in Tokyo With Osaka Dates Set

World Trigger fans visiting Japan this summer have a new way to revisit the series’ starting point. Anime WORLD TRIGGER Exhibition “REBOOT” opened in Tokyo on August 11, 2026, and the official event schedule also sets a second run in Osaka for November. The exhibition combines story recap displays with animation materials, interactive areas, and event-exclusive merchandise, making it a time-sensitive stop for fans planning an anime-focused trip.

What Was Announced

Toei Animation announced the exhibition’s key visual and detailed program on May 26 as part of the anime’s REBOOT project. The event is designed to walk visitors through the beginning of World Trigger rather than present a single-season publicity display. The official outline divides the experience into a prologue and four zones.

The prologue uses a diorama of Mikado City and video presentation to review the large-scale invasion and the establishment of Border. Zone 1 follows Osamu Mikumo and Yuma Kuga’s first meeting, Chika Amatori’s introduction, and Yuma’s Black Trigger and Replica. Zone 2 focuses on Tamakoma Branch and includes Osamu’s allies, Yotaro, Raijinmaru, and a Border explanation from Usami. Zone 3 moves to Border Headquarters, training, and the road toward team formation. Zone 4 is devoted to animation materials, including character designs connected with REBOOT.

The exhibition also includes a message area and merchandise. The official event site says each admission ticket comes with one randomly selected card from an eight-card set; the cards form a connected design when assembled, but visitors cannot choose the design. A goods-included ticket adds a clear shoulder bag that is collected at the venue.

Tokyo is running from August 11 through September 1, 2026, at Sunshine City Exhibition Hall C in Ikebukuro. Its hours are 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. JST, with final entry at 7:00 p.m. The Osaka run is scheduled for November 14 through December 6 at the ATC ITM Building’s fourth-floor special venue, with the same stated hours.

Why It Matters

The exhibition’s most specific value is its structure. It connects the fictional history of Mikado City and Border to the production side of the anime, then places those elements inside an in-person route through the story’s earliest relationships and institutions. For long-time viewers, that could make the event useful as a compact refresher before revisiting later arcs. For newer fans, the official zone descriptions may offer a spoiler-conscious starting point, although the event is not advertised as a substitute for watching the series.

It also gives the REBOOT project a physical form. The announcement does not claim a new broadcast date or describe the exhibition as a new anime episode. Instead, the confirmed material is a fan experience built around the series’ foundation, with the Tokyo and Osaka dates giving the project a two-city footprint in Japan. That distinction matters: the exhibition is evidence of an active promotional project, but it is not, by itself, confirmation of additional anime production details beyond what the official sources state.

Context for International Fans

At the time of checking, the official schedule lists Japanese venues only: Ikebukuro in Tokyo and Osaka’s ATC complex. No overseas venue is listed on the primary event pages, so fans outside Japan should treat this as a Japan travel event unless an official update says otherwise. The Tokyo venue is in Sunshine City, a large Ikebukuro complex with direct access from the area’s rail and subway network; visitors should use the official venue and ticket information for the latest route details.

General admission is listed at ¥2,300 in advance and ¥2,600 on the day. A child’s ticket is ¥1,300 in advance or ¥1,600 on the day, preschool children are free, and a goods-included ticket is ¥4,800. Some dates use timed entry. The official site states that advance sales for the Tokyo run ended before opening, while day tickets depend on availability and may be announced through the official account on the day. That means an overseas visitor should not assume a walk-in ticket will be available.

The venue hours are Japan Standard Time: 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with entry ending at 7:00 p.m. The official guidance also says electronic-ticket screenshots cannot be used for admission, and the venue may restrict entry if it becomes crowded. These are practical details worth checking immediately before travel. The primary pages do not announce an English-language guide, so international visitors may want to prepare the Japanese ticket and venue information in advance rather than rely on an English version at the venue.

What Happens Next

The next confirmed milestone is the Tokyo exhibition’s closing date, September 1, 2026. The official site lists Osaka for November 14 through December 6, but its ticket-sale timing and some Osaka details are still to be announced. The event organizers specifically direct fans to the official World Trigger accounts and event website for the Osaka ticket release and additional goods information.

Fans planning around the exhibition should therefore watch three items: Tokyo day-ticket availability, any changes to entry or merchandise rules, and the Osaka ticket announcement. The official site also notes that the event schedule and content may change. Those updates, rather than unofficial travel posts or resale listings, are the best basis for a final itinerary.
