BLEACH Mirrors High entered charts in six markets on the same day through two Bandai Namco apps. The Japanese version (6747328897) debuted at #1 in JP ios-games/free, while the global version (6758332966) ranked #7 in KR, #15 in US, #23 in GB, #27 in DE, and #60 in HR. This is today’s strongest signal of an emerging trend.

New Entrants

Today’s biggest development is the same-day launch of Bandai Namco’s new title, “BLEACH Mirrors High.” The Japanese version, 【MiraHigh】, debuted at #1 in JP ios-games/free. The global version entered five markets simultaneously: #7 in KR, #15 in US, #23 in GB, #27 in DE, and #60 in HR. Other apps appearing simultaneously in six markets were Miyako 색칠공부책 (ios-graphics-design/paid; #6 in HR and KR, #15 in JP, #23 in DE and GB, #76 in US) and Unfriend - Pro (ios-social-networking/paid; from #27 in HR to #75 in US). Among the highest-ranked apps in a single market, all of #1–#3 in DE ios-developer-tools/paid (iDraw OSC, Amyntor, and Tidytext) were new entrants. In the US, Jumper VPN entered utilities/free at #2.

Sharp Monthly Rises (Baseline Date: 2026-09-28)

The baseline is 30 days ago, but it is the oldest collection date in the archive, so a full month of data is not yet available. The largest gain was Emoji Battery Charging, up 94 places to #1 in US graphics-design/free. It also climbed 81 places to #10 in HR, gaining momentum in two markets at once. Baby Shusher (up 91 to #4 in HR) and Flytomap (up 90 to #3 in HR) followed. Among apps that were absent on the baseline date, Tiny Computers reached #1 in entertainment/paid in DE, GB, and JP.

The middle tier was 81% / 7% / 6.5, while the lower tier (ranks 51–100) was 70% / 19% / 9.4, indicating that turnover is happening almost entirely in the lower ranks. Google had the most top-tier placements at 128, four times as many as second-place X Corp. (32).

HR had the highest turnover (1,093 new entries, 81% top-10 held). The most stable market was US (88%), while KR had the fewest new entries (776).

On the other hand, there were also region-specific movements, such as the group of weather apps in HR.

The categories with the greatest turnover were ios-utilities (361 new entries, 79% held) and ios-reference (79% held). education (349) and music (336) also had relatively high numbers of new entries.

Recommended Actions

• Publish a launch alert for BLEACH Mirrors High today. Focus on #1 in JP and #7 in KR and #15 in US for the global version, then track tomorrow’s ranking changes.
• Feature Tiny Computers as a “paid global hit in the top 10 across six markets.” Use its absence from the charts on the baseline date as the angle.
• Publish an overview of activity among AI coding apps (Claude Remote Control, T3 Code, Replit, and Cursor).
• Investigate why Emoji Battery Charging surged simultaneously in US and HR, such as social-media traction, and use the findings as material for short-form content.
• Track the inflow of VPN apps (Jumper VPN, OwnVPN, and Zyra VPN) for several days to determine whether it is temporary or a trend.

Data Quality Notes

All 468 target charts were collected, with zero missing. Comparison with the previous report (2026-10-27) was also possible for all 468 of 468 charts. The monthly baseline date, 2026-09-28, is the oldest collection date in the archive, so a full month of data is not yet available. There are 274,302 reported missing ratings, which exceeds the 45,718 rows analyzed, indicating a possible inconsistency in the aggregation method. Please avoid analysis using ratings. Also, as with BLEACH Mirrors High, when the same title has different app IDs by market, it is counted as a separate app for each ID.
