The main visual for the third stage adaptation of 'Shinjuku Rashomon,' titled 'Kaientai Arc,' scheduled to run from August 9 to August 16, 2026, at Kokumin Kyosai coop Hall / Space Zero, has been unveiled.

'Shinjuku Rashomon' is a Nintendo Switch title released in August 2024 under Idea Factory's 'ALTERGEAR' brand, which focuses on works depicting friendships and bonds between male characters. It is a reincarnation adventure game that blends novels, combat, and collection elements. Set in Shinjuku, the drama depicts fate-defying reunions, bonds deepened through battle, and the tragic, beautiful grudges of fallen late-Edo period samurai.

Following the first stage play in September 2023 and the second in January 2025, this will be the third installment in the series.

This production is titled 'Kaientai Arc.' The main visual centers on members of the 'Kaientai': Ikumi Isaka, Toshihiko Tanaka, and Naoki Tanaka. In addition to returning performers, new cast members include Takamichi Sato as Sadatada Nakazawa (a character from the game), Takuya Masunaga as the stage-original character Hanpeita Takechi, and Kodai Miyagi as Tōzaburō Sasaki.

Cast-specific secondary pre-sale ticket applications, which include a non-sale bromide as a bonus, will run from May 29 (Friday) to June 7 (Sunday).

General ticket sales will begin on June 27 (Saturday).

Details regarding the multi-epilogue system for different organizations and cast farewell schedules are available on the official website.

The previous stage plays, 'Shinjuku Rashomon' and 'Shinjuku Rashomon: Satcho Agency Arc,' are currently available on U-NEXT.
