The tickets for the Sakamoto Cable are also designed around Sengoku BASARA Battle Party, and there are even standees throughout the station depicting characters from the game.

I’m sorry to everyone that I haven’t been active for a long time, and I want to say thank you to all who have been reading these posts so far. I’m here to announce that I’m not going to be posting here as much as what I used to, and unless there’s a big announcement from CAPCOM of a Sengoku BASARA 5 game, I’m going to be done posting here after July 21, 2021 because that’s when the SB 15th anniversary celebrations end. I honestly am worried that if there’s no announcement of an SB5 by then, the series is most likely done for. Also, there was a recent TEPPEN expansion (the 9th expansion) that released on April 30, 2021, but there was nothing in it related to SB at all, so I’m not going to discuss it here. I’m also not going to get too detailed on any of my posts anymore (unless I either feel up to it, and/or I feel like it’s important), and some info might come very late. It’s just that I’ve lost a lot of excitement, and motivation for the SB series’ future, so I’m mainly focusing on other game franchises, and the current SB games. As of currently, upcoming games I’m mainly excited for are Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires, Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, Samurai Warriors 5, Tales of Arise (hoping for a Switch version of that game), Winds of Change, and that upcoming SRPG (strategy role-playing game) from Square Enix that’s currently titled Project Triangle Strategy.

Anyways, the current news is that the BASARA CLUB Online Fan Meeting 2021 Summer will be a live stream on July 17, 2021, and is the first online BASARA CLUB fan meeting as all the previous ones were held in different buildings where people would attend. These fan meetings are basically mini conventions dedicated to the SB franchise for BASARA CLUB members to attend, and they could also bring guests if they so desire. These fan meetings usually feature the creator of the series, the voice actors, voice actresses, stage play actors, and stage play actresses as special guests, and the fan meetings also tend to feature a wide variety of merchandise. Normally there would be a few every year, but there were none in 2020 because of the pandemic, and there will be one so far in 2021, though, it will be held online. Since it will be held online, only BASARA CLUB members can watch, and no fan merchandise will be sold, but the official merchandise will be sold through the BASARA CLUB store from May 18, 2021, to June 23, 2021. The merchandise includes trading can badges, a seal set, puzzle acrylic key holders, an eco bag, and a tumbler. It’s nice to see Katō Kiyomasa, and Komatsuhime from Sengoku BASARA Battle Party feature in some merchandise, but the other new character from SB BP, Izumo no Okuni, isn’t featuring in any of them, sadly. Here’s the links to the fan meeting website, and store page:
