Azur Lane is returning with another high-profile crossover, this time with the anime Date A Live V. The collaboration runs from November 20 to December 4, 2025. Players can enjoy new playable shipgirls, themed rewards, and in-game experiences. Moreover, fans can explore exclusive real-world activities connected to the event.
Meet the New Shipgirls
The event introduces six new SSR characters from Date A Live V: Yatogami Tohka, Tobiichi Origami, Itsuka Kotori, Yoshino, Tokisaki Kurumi, and the twin spirits Yamai Kaguya & Yamai Yuzuru. Each character features unique skills, special equipment, and story content.
Players obtain Tokisaki Kurumi after collecting 1,000 friendship items. Meanwhile, they can earn Yoshino by gathering the event item “Campaign Contribution.” Yatogami Tohka, Tobiichi Origami, and Itsuka Kotori appear through limited-time construction. In contrast, Yamai Kaguya and Yamai Yuzuru can be exchanged for Campaign Contribution points. This variety ensures that all players can participate actively.
Exclusive Skins, Equipment, and Rewards
In addition to the characters, the event introduces themed equipment and dormitory furniture. Players can access the “Date A Live” equipment exterior box and the “Airship” dormitory furniture series from November 20 to December 3 at 23:59.
The collaboration also brings swimsuit-themed costumes with mini-motion functionality for Yatogami Tohka, Tokisaki Kurumi, and Itsuka Kotori. Dress-up tickets allow players to customize their fleets further. Moreover, Special Supply Packs and Special Construction Packs appear in the in-game shop. Season missions update on December 1, offering the “Boise (META)” costume as a regular reward and the “I-13” costume as a special reward. Both costumes remain available until January 31, 2026.
Real-World Collaboration and Merchandise
Beyond the game, the collaboration offers unique real-world experiences. Public bath events will take place at Tatsumi Onsen (Osaka), Yamanami no Yu (Oita), and Daikokuyu (Tokyo). Fans can enjoy talk events, themed baths, and interactive activities.
Additionally, merchandise collaborations are available. Craft beer from DD4D BREWING, figures, curtains, duvets, and tapestries appear at the Yostar Official Shop and online retailers. Fans can purchase full-body tapestries and other character goods in late November and early December. These activities encourage players to connect the in-game content with real-life experiences.
Event Timeline and Rewards
The collaboration begins on November 20 after maintenance and continues until December 4. To celebrate the live broadcast, Yostar distributes in-game items, including 4,000 funds and one copy of each T4 textbook (attack, defense, support). Furthermore, players can participate in special missions, limited-time events, and earn exclusive rewards during the collaboration.
Overall, this crossover combines beloved anime characters, unique rewards, and fan-focused experiences.
