Why it matters
Osaka Police figures put roughly 20 percent of fake police fraud victims in their 30s and 17 percent in their 20s, which is why a game developed mainly by the company's Osaka base was picked to reach that age group.

Posters, flyers, clear files and pocket tissues roll out across Osaka Prefecture from November 1, 2026. The materials cover fraud-countermeasure apps and the #9110 consultation line. Osaka Prefectural Police recorded 1,304 fake police fraud cases in the prefecture in 2025, with damage of about 10,068,950,000 yen.
The choice of title came from demographics rather than marketing reach. Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok was developed mainly by Osaka Cygames, the company's Osaka base, and its users skew toward the 20s and 30s that the campaign is trying to reach. Osaka Prefectural Police's own data shows those age groups make up a large share of fake police fraud victims.
The flyer back carries Vyrn's guidance: two National Police Agency-recommended countermeasure apps, "Sagi Taisaku by NTT Town Page" and "Sagi Buster Lite," plus the #9110 consultation line for suspicious calls and invitations to "dark part-time jobs."
