The fighting game festival EVO Japan 2026 presented by Levtech (EVO Japan 2026) was held from Friday, May 1 to Sunday, May 3, 2026.
Saiga NAK provided three days of on-site coverage, becoming the only media outlet in the world to cover all 12 main tournaments.
With that, this time we present a photo report showcasing the action from the GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- (GGST) main tournament!

Looking Back at the GGST Main Tournament!

The following eight players successfully made it all the way to the final bracket:

TY
Komekome
Doram
ZETA Tyurara
Miken Bancho
Tsuchiya
PHT Abbysairaf
PAR Daru_I-No

Grand Finals: ZETA Tyurara vs PAR Daru_I-No

Avenging his loss from the 2025 tournament, Tyurara claimed the championship victory!

"I make it onto the stage every time at EVO Japan, but the championship title had always slipped away from me.
I am so happy that I was able to win this time.
One of my dreams has come true!
Thank you so much!"
