Sunrise and King Records have revealed that they are working with Sutcliffe to hold a Pop Team Geass online kuji lottery on the latter's Kujicliffe website. The former two companies have previously published crossover design posters between Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Pop Team Epic on the 2025 April Fools' Day. It turns out that the crossover prank is not just a single-day deal, as people in Japan have a whole month to buy tickets for the lottery.

The merchandise lineup will feature a total of eight character designs. The first two feature Popuko and Pipimi in regular proportions with a Geass eye on each of them. The next two are chibi Popuko and Pipimi, who are wearing Suzaku and Lelouch attires, respectively. The last four will show Lelouch, Suzaku, C.C., and Kallen in Pop Team Epic-style chibi designs.

Here is the full prize lineup from the lottery:

• A Prize: Cushion (2 designs)
• B Prize: Acrylic stand (2 designs)
• C Prize: Mini character acrylic stand (6 designs)
• D Prize: Acrylic keychain (8 designs)
• E Prize: Badge (8 designs)

A ticket for this lottery costs 880 yen (~$5.90). People can also get a bonus random character postcard for every ten tickets purchased. Sutcliffe will offer a flat shipping rate of 770 yen for up to 20 prize items, which also includes 2 bonus postcards.

Sunrise has also ed a new trailer showcasing the crossover on the Code Geass YouTube channel:

Sutcliffe will close the order window for the Pop Team Geass online kuji lottery on May 1, 2025. The company will ship the prizes around mid-August 2025.
