Joyfull, the family restaurant chain, kicks off the third round of its Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba / 鬼滅の刃) collaboration on August 18, 2026. The headline is a can badge: order one collaboration dish and you get one, in a limited run of 20 designs and 220,000 pieces.
The catch is that the menu and the giveaways swap out between Round 3 and Round 4. The Round 3 can badges and the Round 4 drawstring pouches are different items, so it pays to decide when to go before you set out.
Round 3 runs from 3 PM on August 18 to 3 PM on September 8. You get one can badge, chosen at random, with each collaboration dish — while stocks last.
Limited-run collaboration goods tend to go fast, as recent tie-ups like Baskin-Robbins x Pokémon 2026 have shown.
Round 3 at a glance
The collaboration runs at Joyfull restaurants nationwide, with a few locations excluded. It plays out in two rounds — Round 3 and Round 4 — each swapping out both the menu and its limited giveaways.
Item | Details |
|---|---|
Where | Joyfull nationwide (some locations excluded) |
Round 3 | Aug 18 (Tue) 3:00 PM – Sep 8 (Tue) 3:00 PM |
Round 4 | Sep 8 (Tue) 3:00 PM – Sep 29 (Tue) 3:00 PM |
Round 3 giveaway | Original can badge, 20 designs (first 220,000) |
Round 4 giveaway | Original drawstring pouch (kinchaku), 20 designs (first 110,000) |
Reservation | Not needed for the regular menu (walk in, first-come) |
Both the opening and the changeover happen at 3 PM. On September 8, Round 3 ends at 3 PM and Round 4 begins at that same hour. If the can badge is what you're after, you need to visit before 3 PM on September 8.
How to get a can badge, and how many
You get one can badge for each collaboration dish you order. The design is random, and you can't choose which one you receive.
One of the 20 designs is a secret. It's a first-come run of 220,000, and it can sell out before the round ends. Since the badges are random, going early won't improve your odds on a specific design — but it does mean visiting while all 20 are still in circulation, before the run is gone.

Capsule toys and the switch to Round 4

Stores also set up a collaboration capsule-toy machine (gachapon). It dispenses one of six small dishes for about ¥500 a turn, and it too is limited and ends once stock runs out.
From 3 PM on September 8, Round 4 replaces the can badge with an original drawstring pouch (20 designs, first 110,000). The Round 3 menu and can badges end at that changeover.
Social media campaign

There's also a social campaign where following and posting could win you a prize.
On X, follow the official account and post a photo of a collaboration item with the set hashtag "#鬼滅の刃ジョイフルコラボ" for a chance at one of 30 original tote bags. On Instagram, follow the official account and like the campaign post for a chance at one of 30 big towels.
The release does not give an application deadline. If you want to enter, check the campaign site and the official social accounts for the latest details.
Before you go
Joyfull is a chain with most of its restaurants along roadsides in western Japan and the suburbs. If you're staying in central Tokyo or another city center, the nearest branch is often some distance away. Check the store locator on the official site before you head out.
Some locations are also left out of the collaboration. If you're traveling from far, use the campaign site or the official store locator beforehand to confirm your branch is taking part.
The regular collaboration menu needs no reservation — it's first-come, first-served. If you want the best shot at a limited giveaway, go in the first half of the run.
