Naruto Shippuden

Naruto Shippuden is active across merchandise, games, and streaming, with a Hidan and Kakuzu Arc Ichiban Kuji lottery opening October 26, 2026, a funded board game campaign, and Crunchyroll's Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs rolling out through September 2026.

Synthesized from 12 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 16

Naruto Shippuden's current coverage is dominated by licensed merchandise and a broad streaming push rather than new animation. The most recent story is an Ichiban Kuji lottery tied to the Hidan and Kakuzu Arc, on sale October 26, 2026 at 790 yen per draw, with MASTERLISE figures of Shikamaru Nara, Asuma Sarutobi, Hidan, and Kakuzu as the top prizes. That follows a wave of figure and goods announcements from MegaHouse, Bandai Spirits, and Premium Bandai across the summer, including a Minato Namikaze Kurama Link Mode S.H.Figuarts, a NARUTO Gals Tenten reprint, a G.E.M. Series Shinobi World War re-release, and MegaHouse's Chibi Mega, Luckap, MEGA CAT PROJECT, and Nyarto lines.

Outside collectibles, the franchise is being licensed into tabletop and mobile games. The Gamefound campaign for Naruto Shippuden Battle, from This is a GAME and Don't Panic Games, passed its 35,000 euro goal and reached 146,287 euros, running until October 9. KRAFTON's PUBG MOBILE Version 4.5 added a Naruto Shippuden collaboration on July 9, 2026, recreating Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Rock, and the Valley of the End across Erangel, Livik, and Sanhok, with ninjutsu abilities, Kurama boss battles, character costumes, and an animated short by Studio Pierrot. An arcade collaboration with GiGO ran from August 8 to August 30, 2026.

On streaming, Crunchyroll began rolling out Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs in India on July 6, 2026, covering the first 220 episodes in batches through September 2026. A later update confirmed Naruto Shippuden is available in all four languages, alongside a larger slate of Indian-language additions. The dub rollout is the clearest sign of how the series is being positioned now: a catalog title used to anchor regional expansion, with physical merchandise and game tie-ins running in parallel.
