New Bakugaiden IV Figures at Anime Expo 2025

Announced earlier this year, a new line of figures for the White Blows, Blue Braver, and Yellow Crusher were spotted by our local translator minion at Toyrise's booth at Anime Expo:

The VAs for Shirobon (Houko Kuwashima**), Aobon (Etsuko Kozakura), and Kiirobon (Mitsuaki Madono) were also brought back recently for short commercials promoting their respective figures. Check the YouTube links below:

⚪️ Shiro

🔵 Ao

🟡 Kiiro

Unlike almost everything else at this booth, these figures are not currently open for pre-orders at the con. Various online retailers/stockists like AmiAmi do have the figures listed for pre-order, with release dates set for this fall.

A Toyrise representative said that while there are plans to release a figure for Kurobon's mech eventually, plans for additional Bakugaiden toys or other merchandise are unknown. The representative also said these figures are unlikely to be released outside of Japan, so rev those order proxies if you're looking to snag a set (because this is like potato chips, you can't have just one).

**Nerd remarks from local translator minion on Kuwashima: "She's a voice acting vet, but Shiro's voice is one I've never heard her use in another performance." Shirobon was one of Kuwashima's very first VA credits: Houko Kuwashima @ Wikipedia

The Bakugaiden V English Fansubs Are Out!

You better V-lieve it, y'all — English fansubs for Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden V have finally arrived on these digital shores!

DOWNLOADS: Archive.org Filen

STREAMING: Dailymotion Odysee

(Note that the Dailymotion playlist is not quite complete yet as of this post due to DM's restrictions on number of video uploads per day, but it looks like it's up to episode 41 at least. Also, if I borked the links here for whatever reason, you can find them here on BombermanBoard.)

Once again, we cannot thank Steamy Jimmy/legato and Yume enough for doing the Angel's work in bringing the Bakugaiden series to the English-speaking world! The fansubs for both series are the product of years of work as well as a valuable contribution to the history of Bomberman fandom. With all the authority invested in me which isn't much at all I must insist that everyone kneel in deference to these esteemed personages.

As for what's next after these monumental achievements, their plans include translating the 5 Bakugaiden manga volumes as well as going back to re-timing Bakugaiden IV since the HQ episodes dropped after the fansubs did. So have no fear: there's still more obscure 90s-kids-anime-based-roughly-on-a-video-game-and-toy-series content to come. Eventually. (And it's a miracle that "eventually" is even a possibility with material like this.)

"But that's going to take foreeeeeeverrrrrr!" you might be whining forlornly to yourself. "How am I supposed to feed my Bakugaiden fixation in the meantime?"

Okay, you probably didn't whine that (or otherwise express any such sentiment), but regardless there's a Bakugaiden Discord out there for anyone who's looking for bakuguys to talk shop with. (Note that I'm not a part of this server myself and don't personally know anyone there — I just figured I should pass the info along now that more folks will actually be able to discuss this shit for once.) Be nice and have a ball.

And remember, kids: ACAB (All Cops Are B-Da).

Bomberman Jetters: Densetsu no Bomberman (The Legendary Bomberman) / Saturn Bomberman Fight!! ENG Patches

Not our work by any means, but this is definitely worth sharing. English patches have been completed for two Japan-only games and are available for download!

💣 Saturn Bomberman Fight!! Released in 1997, Saturn Bomberman Fight!! was one of Hudson Soft's many (maaaaany) attempts at messing with the bomberformula. The game's Story Mode features up to 14(!) playable characters, all with their own routes and unique dialogue. Also there was a commercial featuring Segata Sanshiro judo throwing someone so hard they explode, which I don't know why that wasn't reason enough to localize this thing.

(Sure, there's no explosive judo throwing in the game as far as I know/remember, but localization should have been done just to give kudos. Obvi.)

🔗 On BombermanBoard 🔗 On Sega Saturn, Shiro!

💣 Bomberman Jetters: Densetsu no Bomberman (The Legendary Bomberman) This little RPG dropped a couple of months after the original debut of the anime in 2002, telling the story of Mighty's final mission on Nonbiri. If you've played Bomberman Tournament, this game will slap your face with extreme deja vu, right down to the Pokeboms. I mean, Charamons. I mean...yeah, no, I meant every word of that overplayed joke because I am volcanically uncool.

(I played a ROM of this back in college using an ASCII walkthrough I printed out and never thought anyone would care enough to even provide a translated script, let alone make a playable translation. This is a dark timeline with tiny little explosions of joy and hope.)

🔗 On BombermanBoard (with some key info to get things working) 🔗 On GitHub (patch only)

PLEASE NOTE that I am woefully unfamiliar with modern emulation, so if something goes bork bork with one of these things I'm entirely useless. I'm just here to spread some obscure bomberlove. ❤️💥
