Laplus Darknesss

Laplus Darknesss is among the VTubers featured in the hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME Red Bull collaboration at Lawson stores from October 6 to October 19, 2026. She also appears in the BANDAI SPIRITS Ichiban Kuji hololive ~Fairy tale Style~ line starting January 9, 2027, and is one of the nine Hololive characters added to HoloCure in its Ver.0.8 update.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 11

Laplus Darknesss appears in three separate product announcements over two months in late 2026. The most recent is a Red Bull Japan campaign with the hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME at Lawson stores nationwide from October 6 to October 19, 2026. Customers who buy two eligible Red Bull products receive one original PR card. Four card designs are available, featuring Shishiro Botan and Laplus Darkness, two designs each, including visuals of the VTubers holding Red Bull cans.

A day earlier, BANDAI SPIRITS confirmed the Ichiban Kuji hololive ~Fairy tale Style~ line for release starting January 9, 2027, at 890 yen per draw at locations including Lawson. Laplus Darknesss is one of four members in fairy tale theme original outfits, alongside AZKi, Pekora Usada, and Kazama Iroha. The key visual has been revealed. Past hololive Ichiban Kuji used key visuals for figures and acrylic boards, and a similar lineup is expected here.

In August, the HoloCure Ver.0.8 update was scheduled for mid-autumn with nine new playable characters, including all five Secret Society holoX members. The developer cited scheduling as a reason the release may take time. The update raises the free fan game's roster from 47 to 56 characters and completes the playable roster for Hololive's 5th Generation and Secret Society holoX.

Across the three stories, Laplus Darknesss appears in a convenience store card promotion, a lottery merchandise line, and a fan game roster update. The card and lottery items share a retail channel in Lawson. HoloCure is described as unofficial, which sets it apart from the two licensed product lines.
