To get The Drink, also called Trunks, find the Trunks encounter during an Expedition encounter zone, claim the Toy Capsule, then clear the special stage it unlocks.
The Drink is tied to a short encounter route in Anime Expeditions: enter an Expedition, reach an encounter zone, get the Trunks event, and use the Toy Capsule to open the challenge stage. The important thing is that The Drink is a unit, not a skin.
Fast unlock route for The Drink / Trunks
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Unit name | The Drink, also called Trunks |
| Required item | Toy Capsule |
| Source encounter | Trunks event in an Expedition encounter zone |
| Challenge reward | Clear the capsule stage to receive Trunks |
| Repeat requirement | Four copies are needed for max ascension |
The route starts inside an Expedition encounter zone and ends with the Toy Capsule challenge reward. Since the capsule is described as a one-time use item, go in prepared before starting the stage it opens.
Where the Toy Capsule comes from
Enter an Expedition and move through its encounter zones until you find the Trunks event. In that encounter, Trunks says, “I don’t have much time. Take this before I go.”
KEY!
That event gives you the Toy Capsule. Opening or using it unlocks a special stage, and clearing that stage awards Trunks. There is no spawn rate or guaranteed setup in the available route, so keep running Expedition encounter zones until the event appears.
How to get The Drink from the Trunks encounter in Anime Expeditions
Follow this route once you are ready to turn the Trunks event into the Toy Capsule challenge reward.
STEP 1/8
Enter an Expedition encounter zone
Start an Expedition and reach an encounter zone where special events can appear.
STEP 2/8
Find the Trunks event
Look for the Trunks encounter, where he says he does not have much time before handing over an item.
STEP 3/8
Receive the Toy Capsule
Claim the Toy Capsule, which is the item that unlocks the special challenge stage.

STEP 6/8
Bring two farms
Use two farms to make the challenge safer, especially if your damage units are not stacked.

Clear the stage and claim Trunks
Finish the challenge stage to receive Trunks.

Loadout prep before using the Toy Capsule
Enemy HP in one showcase run sat around roughly 5,000 to 10,000 HP, but that may vary by player strength or scaling state. The stage looked manageable with strong units, yet the one-time-use warning makes preparation more important than speed.
Set your team before opening the Toy Capsule: use two farms and your strongest upgraded units so the possible one-attempt challenge does not waste the capsule.
Copies needed for max ascension
You need four copies of The Drink / Trunks for max ascension. That means the encounter-to-capsule loop may need to be repeated several times if you want to fully build the unit, not just unlock the first copy.
The Drink / Trunks ability kit
| Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
| Precision Slash | Every 6 regular attacks, applies The Drink Mark for 15 seconds, raising Follow Up Attack damage by 10% and adding 10% Physical Weakness. |
| Quick Assist | When any Follow Up Attack happens within range, The Drink performs an extra Follow Up Attack at 150% of current damage and applies Precision Slash again. |
| Perfected Strikes | During The Drink Transformation, The Drink Mark makes all Follow Up Attacks critically strike with 15% increased critical damage. |
| Golden Ascension | Transforms for 60 seconds, reduces the Precision Slash attack requirement by 1, raises Follow Up Attack damage by 15%, lowers SPA by 10%, and increases range by 10%. |
The Drink is built around Follow Up Attack damage, marking enemies, and a temporary transformation. Balance numbers can change after updates, but the current kit points toward a unit that ramps value when follow-up hits happen inside its range.
Mistakes that waste time
The biggest mix-up is treating The Drink as a skin instead of the actual unit. The Drink is the unit covered here, also called Trunks.
Another mistake is chasing banner or summon claims without checking the unit list in-game. If The Drink appears on an active recruit banner, you can roll there, but banner costs, rates, pity, and rotation details are not part of this Toy Capsule route.
Also avoid using older Update 0.5 event information for this unlock. Villain Invasion-era details belong to the previous event environment, while The Drink belongs to the Update 1.0 roster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does losing the Toy Capsule stage consume the capsule?
The capsule is described as a one-time use item, so treat a failed run as risky and prepare as if you may not get another attempt from the same capsule.
Is Ballin’ Drink the same as The Drink / Trunks?
No. The Drink / Trunks is the unit covered here, not a skin.
Can The Drink be summoned from banners?
Check the active recruit banners in-game. If The Drink is visible in a banner pool, summoning there is possible, but the provided route for this guide is the Trunks encounter and Toy Capsule challenge.
