The Black Lagoon franchise is currently in the midst of its 25th anniversary, marked by a wave of promotional merchandise and collaborations. The June 2026 issue of Monthly Sunday GX announced an upgraded 25th anniversary exhibition for the series, alongside other milestones. A second collaboration with the British-style pub chain HUB, running from August 7 to August 30, 2026, features newly drawn illustrations by creator Rei Hiroe, along with limited goods and themed drinks and food.
Two limited-edition chronograph wristwatches, themed after the Lagoon Company and Hotel Moscow, were announced in May 2026. Each model is limited to 2,001 units, priced at 29,700 yen, with pre-orders opening June 19 and release scheduled for late October 2026. In July, System Service is releasing a prize figure of Levi as part of its One-Seventh Carat series, a bunny-themed crane game prize standing 16cm tall, available at amusement facilities from the third week of July. A follow-and-repost campaign on X offers five winners the figure.

The BLACK LAGOON 25th Anniversary Original Art Exhibition will run from November 13 to December 6, 2026, at the Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbo Park in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The event celebrates the 25th anniversary of Rei Hiroe's manga, which has cumulative series sales of over 10 million copies, according to Inside. The exhibition will display valuable manga manuscripts, reproduction original art of color illustrations, and gun props that adorned comic covers. Photo spots for visitors to immerse themselves in the world of BLACK LAGOON are also planned. Details will be announced on the official website and official X (formerly Twitter). The exhibition is separate from a pop-up shop organized by COSPA, which focuses on the three characters Revy, Roberta, and Balalaika, and runs from September 12 across five cities. The pop-up shop features newly drawn illustrations by Hiroe and offers goods such as T-shirts, acrylic stands, and canvas art, with purchase bonuses including acrylic keyholders and a mini shikishi with a reproduced signature.
