Ichiban Kuji Splatoon 3 Third Wave Blasts Off This August with Splattershot Flashlight, Smallfry Donburi Bowl!

BANDAI SPIRITS is bringing Nintendo’s hit Nintendo Switch game back to its no-lose character lottery series with “Ichiban Kuji Splatoon 3 Third Wave.” Priced at 750 yen per draw, including tax, the lottery will roll out across Japan from August 22, 2026, at participating 7-Eleven and Ito-Yokado locations, as well as Nintendo TOKYO, OSAKA, KYOTO and FUKUOKA.

The collection spans seven prize tiers with 26 designs, plus a Last One Prize. Leading the lineup is the A Prize “Fire! Splattershot Light,” which turns one of Splatoon 3’s signature weapons into an approximately 30 cm-long display light. Pulling the trigger in a dark room projects a splash-shaped beam, making it look as though the Splattershot has just fired a burst of ink.

Other highlights include an approximately 50 cm Squid Bumper plush, a Rainmaker-themed tote bag and a Golden Egg laundry net inspired by Salmon Run. Cold-activated glasses, zipper bags and rubber charms round out the everyday accessories. The Last One Prize is the “Your Buddy! Smallfry Bowl,” featuring Smallfry gradually peeking out from the center as the food disappears—an especially fun choice for an ikura rice bowl.
