Bandai Namco Holdings has posted a ¥52.167 billion profit for the first half of fiscal year of 2024, down from a ¥66.557 billion profit this same timeframe last year.

Dragon Ball came in as the company’s second-best-performing franchise for the half, pulling in ¥68.4 billion (behind the Mobile Suit Gundam at ¥72.6 billion). This is a slight jump from Dragon Ball‘s performance during this same timeframe last fiscal year at ¥65.7 billion. The company is projecting a full fiscal year total of ¥133 billion, however, which would be down from last full fiscal year’s ¥144.5 billion.

In terms of general toys and hobby merchandise (non-video games) for Japan, the Dragon Ball franchise pulled in ¥12.2 billion (behind the Mobile Suit Gundam and One Piece franchises at ¥34.7 and ¥30 billion, respectively). This is roughly in line with Dragon Ball‘s performance during this same timeframe last fiscal year at ¥12 billion. The company is projecting a full fiscal year total of ¥21 billion, which would be down from last full fiscal year’s ¥22.5 billion.
