Zatch Bell! is set to appear in its first Ichiban Kuji lottery line, with MASTERLISE figures of Gash Bell, Kiyomaro Takamine, Kanchome, and Parco Folgore scheduled for sequential release in Japan starting December 12, 2026. The manga series Zatch Bell! 2 also appears as a new release on Amazon Kindle's July 17, 2026 ranking.
The Zatch Bell! franchise is currently active on two fronts. BANDAI SPIRITS has opened the product page for "Ichiban Kuji Zatch Bell!," a lottery-style merchandise line, marking the first time the series has appeared in Ichiban Kuji. The kuji is scheduled for sequential release from Saturday, December 12, 2026, at stores in Japan, with each draw costing 900 yen including tax. The lineup includes four MASTERLISE figures as the A through D prizes: Gash Bell (A prize, offered in two versions with a normal face and a Zakeru face, with customers unable to choose which version they receive), Kiyomaro Takamine (B prize), Kanchome (C prize), and Parco Folgore (D prize). Kiyomaro and Folgore each come with their spell books, designed for paired display alongside their partners.
Separately, the manga series Zatch Bell! 2 appears as a new release on Amazon Kindle's top 20 best-selling manga list as of July 17, 2026, as reported by Dengeki Hobby Web. The ranking reflects current buying trends on Amazon Kindle, with pre-orders and heavy discount promotions driving sales. The kuji ends when stock runs out, and store handling may vary.
