If one picks a random fan from a sea of anime lovers, they will most likely be the fan who has watched Naruto. It is one of the pivotal adaptations in the anime culture, making fans fall in love with the strong morals that the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto showed. And after 220 episodes and the release of Naruto: Shippuden, the manga-based series reined as the top animes of the time. With such worldwide acclaim, the fans wanted to collect and wear the creation of Masashi Kishimoto, the genius behind his brainchild that sold over 250 million copies.

A brand-new merchandise collection just arrived and here is what to expect from this latest drop. 

Merchandise for your shelves

In some exciting news for fans, two stunning figurines from Oniri creations are on sale on Sideshow. Depicting the powerful Shinobi, the two statues are of the third Hokage and Hinata. The extremely detailed Hinata statue depicts her Byakugan powers, in her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists action. The figurine is priced at $336 and will only be shipped by July 2024. Following that, the other statue is dedicated to the powerful third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It is even more intricate and detailed and is available as a limited edition only. It depicts the ghastly battle between the third Hokage and Orochimaru, including his famous Monkey King Enma. This God of Shinobi’s summons technique makes it more special and bigger than Hinata’s figurine, justifying its higher price of $740. It will be shipped around the end of 2023. 

These launches of editions come in tune with the franchise nearing its 20-year anniversary. While they are only collectibles, there is another special celebration in line.

A live Naruto treat for fans

The anime fans are all set to have a special concert based on the show. Scheduled for the 2nd and 3rd of September, it will be held in Makuhari Messe in Japan. The concert, Naruto The Live, will showcase some of the show’s most popular songs and performances from bands like ORANGE RANGE and CHiCO. They will perform the opening and ending themes from the manga-based series.

The voice actors behind the two most famous rivals of the show, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, will host the concert. This will definitely make the 20th anniversary worthwhile.
