5th Anniversary

Sep 08, 2024 Legend Story Studios

Five years. One dream.

People from all walks of life coming together in the Flesh and Blood through the common language of great games.

An unforgettable milestone in a challenging industry, through unprecedented global events.

We couldn't have made it this far without you.

Here’s how we’re saying thanks…



The one who started it all… Ira, Crimson Haze. Known by many as the vengeful Ninja who introduced them to Flesh and Blood. Now she returns in adult form - Ira, Scarlet Revenger! This deadly new Ira will officially become tournament legal on November 2, 2024, which means she will be playable in time for scheduled events in Osaka such as the Calling (please note that Ira, Scarlet Revenger will not be legal for the World Championship itself, as decks must be registered prior to November 1).

From November 1-3, special 5th Anniversary Celebration events are taking place at local game stores worldwide. Join in the celebrations and you will receive your very own Ira, Scarlet Revenger just for participating! The same English language version of Ira, Scarlet Revenger will also be available at select scheduled events at World Championship: Osaka.

Taking place on Sunday November 3 at World Championship: Osaka is the 5th Anniversary Showcase Tournament. Participating players will receive an exclusive Japanese language anime art Ira, Scarlet Revenger!

Fans travelling to Osaka will also have the opportunity to purchase a souvenir package containing the following:

  • 5th Anniversary Pack (featuring Ira, Scarlet Revenger)
  • Limited Edition Japanese language anime art heroes (Dorinthea Ironsong, Nuu, Alluring Desire, Viserai, Rune Blood)
  • Exclusive playmat, sleeves, and deckbox

Dorinthea, Nuu, and Viserai will also be available at select scheduled events at World Championship: Osaka.

World Championship competitors will receive one random Japanese language anime art adult hero (Dorinthea, Nuu, or Viserai), plus an English language version of Ira, Scarlet Revenger.

Flesh and Blood creator James White says:

“Ira holds a special place in many players' hearts as the hero who welcomed them to the game through the Ira Welcome Decks that have been available free of charge in local game stores around the world since Flesh and Blood released in 2019. What better way to celebrate our 5th Anniversary than paying homage to the hero who started it all, with Ira releasing as an adult hero for the first time, and being available not only to the players who will travel from across the world to Japan for the World Championship, but in Local Game Stores across the world who are the foundation of the Flesh and Blood community and where so many first games have been played with Ira over the past 5 years.”

We are thrilled to be celebrating this special time with you all and urge you to keep your eyes peeled for exciting 5th Anniversary content coming at you from Legend Story Studios HQ in October.

Here’s to a FABulous Five Years, and to many more great games and good times in the Flesh and Blood!
