Evangelion × BEYBLADE X: 30th Anniversary Deck Set Announced for 2026

In a major crossover reveal, Takara Tomy has officially announced the BEYBLADE X CX‑00 Evangelion Deck Set, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The announcement was made during the BEYBLADE DAY -2026- broadcast, confirming a late‑August 2026 release window.

The collaboration brings together two cultural icons: the long‑running Evangelion franchise and the high‑speed competitive world of BEYBLADE X. The deck set includes three Beyblades inspired by EVA Units 00, 01, and 02, each featuring unique metal coats in orange, violet, and red respectively.

Alongside the Beyblades, the set includes two special long‑winder launchers—one Hasshin version and one NERV version—plus a Beyblade storage box designed specifically for the collaboration. The product will be available exclusively through Takara Tomy Mall and the EVANGELION STORE, with pre‑orders open until April 20, 2026, at 23:59 JST.

Priced at 7,500 yen, the Evangelion Deck Set is a made‑to‑order release, making it a highly anticipated collectible for fans of both franchises. The official launch date in Japan is set for August 29, 2026.

As Evangelion marks three decades of influence across anime, film, and global pop culture, this collaboration highlights the franchise’s continued impact—and offers fans a new way to experience the iconic EVA units in battle form.
