With the 4th iteration of Yoko Taro’s Bakuken stage play series quickly approaching, there’ve been all sorts of promotional events getting into full swing, like the rebroadcasts of previous plays, and the following livestream that will be happening later tonight. Several of the cast members along with Yoko Taro himself will be present. Be sure to check out the details below!

In addition to this new information, we also have a new story overview for Bakuken 4:
▶︎ Bakuken 4 – Story Overview
The Taisho Era, a time when the samurai had vanished, and the call for enlightenment and a strong, prosperous nation echoed across Japan.
Imperial Army Major Akiyama Yoshifuru, concerned about the future of his country amidst encroaching Western powers, devised an audacious plan: to summon swordsmen from the Sengoku period and form them into a covert assassination squad.
The summoned swordsmen witness the dawn of a new era, while Nobunaga’s ambitions take shape once more. The battle for the nation’s foundation and its future hurtles toward an unimaginable conclusion.

With the first wave of ticket reservations completed, the second wave began about a week ago and will be concluding tomorrow! If you will be in Japan later this December and are interested in going to the next iteration of Yoko Taro’s Bakuken series of stage plays, now is your chance!
Actually, tomorrow is the last day to reserve tickets. S seats are all sold out, but there are still some A seats available!
The key visual for the next edition in the Bakuken stage play series has been officially released. It seems like we’re going back to the black/white color scheme from the first play.
And, I can’t help but imagine that the hairstyle for Michael / Akiyama Yoshifuru is reminiscent of Masayoshi Yura’s bandage/eye patch… I’m sure that’s not intended here; just, I can’t help but see things that aren’t necessarily there. haha
