SSSS.GRIDMAN is in a licensing and merchandising push built around the Ultraman Card Game. All 12 episodes stream free on the official Ultraman YouTube channel, one per Tuesday at 20:00, starting October 6, 2026, with no end date announced.
Tsuburaya Productions announced on October 6 that all 12 episodes of SSSS.GRIDMAN will stream free on the official Ultraman YouTube channel, one episode every Tuesday at 20:00, starting that day. The release commemorates Gridman's full-scale entry into the Ultraman Card Game. No end date for the streaming has been revealed. The anime is the 2018 TV series directed by Akira Amemiya, made at Studio Trigger.
Coverage across the year runs from theatrical events toward that card game tie-in. In the spring, Studio Trigger announced all-night marathon screenings of SSSS.GRIDMAN and SSSS.DYNAZENON at Cinemart Shinjuku in Tokyo, with the Gridman screening at all 12 episodes plus the Anime Mirai short "Denkou Choujin Gridman: Boys Invent Great Hero." Director Akira Amemiya, producer Tomoyoshi Asou of Tsuburaya Productions, and MC Naoki Koyama of Pony Canyon were set for talk shows. Commemorative merchandise featured a newly drawn key visual by Amemiya, sold at sales spaces in Tachikawa and Kawasaki and available without a screening ticket.
Licensed merchandise followed through the summer. Furyu opened reservations for TENITOL sportswear figures of Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo, priced at 10,450 yen each or 20,900 yen for a set with interchangeable face parts, with reservations closing August 19 and shipping set for March 2027. Good Smile Company took pre-orders for hologram acrylic stands and for two reproduction prints by illustrators Tridamono and saitom, both based on the COVERS collaboration project. Sunborn also announced a Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium collaboration with Ultraman and SSSS.GRIDMAN, with content and timing not yet disclosed.
The card game itself carried the largest product news. Extra Booster Pack Vol. 1 "Dream UNION" and Extra Deck Vol. 2 "SSSS.GRIDMAN" release on December 4, 2026, with characters from the TV anime, new illustrations by the anime's creators, and booster packs that randomly contain autograph cards signed by four cast members.
