With three weeks until the September 18 release of Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W. Metropolis wo Kakenukero!, a wave of nationwide collaborations was announced. The slate includes a Yamanote Line escape game, a Nagoya mannequin dressed as Shunsaku Aoshima, a Ginza Mitsukoshi museum exhibition, and an Umeda advertisement takeover. Yuji Oda returns as Aoshima, back on screen after 14 years.
The escape game is the series' first large-scale touring version, running September 18 to December 13 along the Yamanote Line, and it doubles as a crime prevention exercise. The Nagoya mannequin reproduces the stab scar Aoshima took in the first film, down to his green mod coat, with "Rhythm and Police" playing on loop during the display.
