Nissin has revealed a new Cup Noodle collaboration package featuring Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh card game. The Instant Fusion card particularly serves as an inspiration for this new crossover, as Nissin will produce a limited number of exclusive Cup Noodle packages with the very design from the card. This crossover will celebrate both the 55th anniversary of Cup Noodle and the 25th anniversary of the card game franchise’s anime series.

The special set will appear in late March 2026 with a tax-inclusive price tag of ¥4,800 (~$30.15). The box will contain 20 Cup Noodle packages with the Instant Fusion design. The set will also come with an exclusive Japanese Instant Fusion card that has a Cup Noodle logo printed on the description box.

Nissin has also published a trailer promoting the new collaboration product on its official YouTube channel:

Yu-Gi-Oh has thus joined the ever-expanding list of game-related titles that have a Cup Noodle crossover campaign. Nissin had previously launched collaborations featuring Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and Guilty Gear XX.

Pre-orders for the Yu-Gi-Oh Instant Fusion Cup Noodle set will open in Japan on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at noon JST. Nissin will start shipping the orders around late March 2026.
