The Legend of Hei 2 will launch on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan on July 22 across three editions. The Special Edition includes a Xiao Hei mini figure, while the Complete Limited Edition offers a newly drawn jacket, soundtrack, and Japanese dub script. The film, released in theaters in 2025, follows Xiao Hei two years after the first movie.
The Legend of Hei 2 is coming to home video in Japan on July 22, three editions deep. The Special Edition, priced at 17,600 yen for Blu-ray, includes a Xiao Hei mini figure and a paper stage. The Complete Limited Edition, at 11,000 yen, swaps the figure for a newly drawn jacket by HMCH Studio, a digipak, a booklet, the Japanese dub script, and a two-disc original soundtrack. The Regular Edition, at 6,380 yen, carries the same audio and subtitle options-Japanese and Chinese audio, barrier-free audio guide, and four subtitle tracks-but none of the physical extras. Store-specific bonuses are planned but not yet detailed. The film itself, a sequel to the 2019 original, hit Japanese theaters in 2025 and follows Xiao Hei and his senior sister Lu Ye on a new adventure two years after the events of the first film. GKIDS picked up North American rights in August 2025, though no home video date has been set for that market.
