Straight from the official Blast Zero X account!

BLAST ZERO has officially announced that the upcoming Kyatto Ninden Teyandee / Samurai Pizza Cats game will be appearing at Tokyo Game Show 2026, and attendees won’t just be watching another trailer…

THE GAME WILL BE PLAYABLE.

Visitors at TGS will have the opportunity to actually get their hands on the game and try the demo for themselves.

This marks a major milestone for the project. Until now, we’ve primarily experienced the game through trailers, screenshots, and promotional footage. A public playable demo means fans attending Tokyo Game Show will finally be able to get firsthand impressions of how the game actually feels to play.

Hopefully this also means we’ll start seeing plenty of new information from the show, including gameplay impressions and perhaps a few additional surprises. 👀

BLAST ZERO has invited fans to come visit them at the event and says the team is looking forward to meeting everyone.

Alongside this announcement, they also dropped a GORGEOUS, but short (presumably) cutscene animation that has fans hungry for more!

A small schedule update for collectors: BellFine’s 1/12 scale Yattaro & Toritsukkun plastic model kit has been delayed by one month.

The kit was previously scheduled for release in August 2026, but BellFine’s updated release information now lists September 2026.

At this time, no specific reason for the delay has been announced, and a specific date hasn’t been disclosed. The listed price remains ¥8,140 (tax included).

It’s disappointing to see Yattaro slip after getting this close to release, but a one-month delay is thankfully fairly minor. Hopefully the extra time helps ensure everything is ready for a smooth launch, and that September 2026 sticks. ❤💙🤍

For anyone who already has the kit preordered, keep an eye on your retailer or proxy for any updated shipping information.

Another wonderfully obscure piece of Samurai Pizza Cats / Kyatto Ninden Teyandee history has been preserved! 🎉

Retro Reprints has completed its restoration of the 1990 Seika coloring book, and the remastered digital edition is now available for download as a PDF.

The book features plenty of vintage artwork from the original series, making it a fun little time capsule for fans and collectors, as well as a potentially useful source of character and artwork reference material. And unlike an increasingly difficult-to-find physical copy, you can actually enjoy this one without treating every page turn like delicate archaeological fieldwork. 😂

The digital edition is currently available for just $3 USD, with proceeds helping Retro Reprints recover and preserve additional vintage books.

I’ve already picked up my own digital copy! :3 ❤

One important note: out of respect for the work Retro Reprints has put into acquiring, restoring and preserving this material, I will NOT be redistributing my copy or making the PDF available for free. 🚫

At only $3, please support Retro Reprints directly if you’d like a copy. Doing so gets you the book while also helping them continue preserving obscure material like this for everyone to enjoy.

Another tiny piece of Pizza Cats history rescued from obscurity. 🥰📚🍕🐱

French publisher Black Box has released a new limited French-language edition of the original Samurai Pizza Cats manga by Tatsuya Sōma, with Noritaka Suzuki also credited.

This appears to be an unofficial French localization of the original 1994 manga, rather than an entirely new story like the upcoming North American release from Nakama Press.

The one-shot edition is currently listed for €7.99, with promotional shipping available through Black Box’s online boutique.

It is another welcome sign that the Pizza Cats are finding new life across multiple markets, with classic material being made available to a new generation of readers.

Action Toys’ Kyatto Ninden Teyandee / Samurai Pizza Cats prototypes were recently spotted on display again at ACGHK 2026, offering a welcome sign that the long-silent project has not disappeared. 😍

The lineup includes:

• Yattaro

• Pururun

• Sukashii

• Karamaru

• Otama

• Omitsu

• Tokugawa Usako

One notable absence from last year’s display is Ko’on no Kami. No evidence, either way, whether this was an intentional omission.

One especially interesting detail is that the new display cards differ from those shown with the prototypes last year.

The previous signage explicitly indicated that approval was pending. That wording is no longer present on the ACGHK 2026 cards.

The figures are still marked 監修中, meaning they remain under supervision or review, so this should not be taken as confirmation that production has been approved. Action Toys has also not announced pricing, preorders, or a release date.

Still, the updated signage and the prototypes’ return to public display are encouraging. At the very least, the project appears to remain active rather than having been quietly abandoned.

The dream is not dead yet. 🤍❤💙
