Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W.: Run Through the Metropolis! opens in theaters on September 18, 2026, with Yuji Oda back as Shunsaku Aoshima. Tie-in merchandise, an exhibition, and a convenience store fair all begin in the days around the release.
The latest film in the Odoru Daisousasen series is Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W.: Run Through the Metropolis!, set for a September 18, 2026 opening. Yuji Oda reprises the role of Shunsaku Aoshima, who is now assigned to the First Investigative Division. The story escalates from a kidnapping case into a virus threat.
Promotion around the film runs on the same calendar as the release, not after it. Sega Fave puts three types of Bayside Shakedown N.E.W. prize items into crane games at amusement facilities nationwide from September 18. The lineup includes two volumes of Seven Bear plushies, a life-size model of a new character drawn from the Seven Deadly Sins, and mascots of series staples Kaeru Kyubin and Wangan-kun. Sega notes the photos are development samples and timing may change.
The Odoru Daisousasen THE MUSEUM exhibition opened September 9 at Ginza Mitsukoshi, moving from a summer run in Odaiba. Its new displays cover the N.E.W. generation: costumes for the new cast, Aoshima's current free-address desk, and Seven Bear plush figures. Director Katsuyuki Motohiro and producer Chihiro Kameyama led the press tour on September 8 and walked through the design choices.
A Seven-Eleven fair starts September 17, one day ahead of the film, selling a canele based on the one Miki Mizuki's character Yuki Mashita makes in the film for 226.80 yen. A receipt serial campaign offers a Blu-ray set in a Frog Express box to 50 winners, with three of them also receiving a poster signed by Yuji Oda, plus pin badge sets for 250 and sweets coupons for 1,000.
