Studio Pierrot's current releases span an ongoing Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War broadcast and a new entry in its magical girl line, Lulu and Lili, the Magic Sisters, while a Naruto franchise roadmap announced at New York Comic Con runs from 2027 through 2029.
The most recent story about Studio Pierrot concerns the Naruto franchise rather than the studio's broadcast output. At the "NARUTO: What's Next?" panel at New York Comic Con, the Naruto Mobile game, currently available only in Mainland China, was announced for a worldwide release. More details are promised at Jump Festa '27 on December 19-20. The same panel detailed the Naruto Card Game, which launches in June 2027 with starter decks for Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara. Both the game release and the card game fall under a banner called Project Rasengan.
The Naruto announcements sit alongside an ongoing Pierrot broadcast. Episode 47 of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, titled THE END 2, aired September 5. Uryu Ishida takes a central role in the episode, joining Nelliel and Tier Harribel to fight Yhwach. The episode also features the deceased Jushiro Ukitake appearing before Shunsui Kyoraku.
The third story covers the studio's older catalog. Pastel Yumi, the Magic Idol, the fourth Pierrot magical girl series, gets its first Blu-ray release. The 40th Anniversary Blu-ray BOX arrives October 28, featuring a newly drawn box design by Yoshiyuki Kishi, new audio commentary, a booklet, and the 1987 OVA, and includes all 25 episodes. The box completes the franchise's anniversary box lineup alongside the currently airing new entry Lulu and Lili, the Magic Sisters.
