Toei Animation plans to celebrate One Piece and Digimon through a programming lineup consisting of special guest panels, booth and pop up experiences, card giveaways, and autograph raffles.
Toei Animation at New York Comic Con 2025
Toei Animation will return to New York Comic Con to celebrate Digimon and One Piece – two hit franchises beloved by fans for more than 25 years and counting.
Toei Animation’s exhibit booth (#2403) will offer fans an immersive One Piece experience featuring a massive Monkey D. Luffy GEAR5 hanging alongside never-before-seen graphic images from the anime series. At the rear of the booth, you will find One Piece card games, and Bandai Toys and Collectibles pop-up stores displaying an exclusive selection of trading cards and merch curated just for the NYCC 2025 experience available for purchase.
While at the booth, Digimon fans can complete a survey and then draw a ticket to join an exclusive autograph session with voice actor Megumi Han from Digimon Beatbreak. There will also be a Digimon Beatbreak photo op located on the concourse that depicts the new group of original characters and Digimon introduced in the episodic anime series.
The Friday One Piece panel will feature special guests from the production and its voice actors, and an insider’s perspective on the upcoming Elbaf Arc (which may include a surprise reveal). When entering the Empire Stage for the panel, audience members will receive a special Monkey D. Luffy (CS 2024 Participation) – ONE PIECE Card Game Promo Card while supplies last.
Toei Animation’s Sunday panel for Digimon Beatbreak will feature special guests and cast members while spotlighting the new series set to premiere on October 5th in Japan. Fans can expect to enjoy a Q&A session and screening of the new Digimon Story Time Stranger trailer. A souvenir mini-poster for the series will be handed out while supplies last, and at the end of the panel five audience members will be selected to participate in an exclusive autograph session with Megumi Han later that day.
Off-site programming at ONE PIECE x MERCER LABS is open to NYCC attendees and the public alike located at 21 Dey Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan and will be open daily from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm, Thursday thru Sunday. Tickets for the groundbreaking immersive exhibition start at $50 and can be purchased at mercerlabs.com.
