Raid71 returns with a stunning new piece inspired by Katsuhiro Otomo’s cyberpunk landmark AKIRA. Aptly titled E.X.P.L.O.D.E., the artwork captures the chaos, energy, and raw power at the heart of Otomo’s dystopian vision, city collapsing in on itself, frozen in the instant before annihilation. Raid71’s precision linework and explosive composition pull you straight into the artwork. It’s dense, detailed, and a pure visual overload. The perfect tribute to one of anime’s most iconic and influential films. On sale today at 12PM ET on the BNG websie, regular and foil variant screen prints will be available.
