VIZ Media Recap From New York Comic Con 2023

Naruto is a manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto and has been adapted into multiple anime. The story follows Naruto Uzumaki who seeks to be the greatest ninja around as well as the leader of his village.

VIZ Media announced new Naruto Shippuden-themed products, such as games, clothing, coloring books, and even hot sauce!

The 3D action fighter, NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS, launches on November 17th on PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. This will be the first time fans can play through the full Naruto story! Each STORM game in the past focused on one arc, but now players can play all of them in one – from the Chunin Exams to the final battle with Sasuke. With over 130 playable characters, including Indra and Ashura Otsutsuki, and Kara members Jigen, Delta, Boro, and Koji Kashin, this will be the largest roster ever for Naruto games. Its new simple control mode streamlines combos and attacks for newcomers and veterans alike. This way, users can perform combos and actions with one button. The special story mode has a game-exclusive story where Boruto meets a mysterious stranger in an online game and soon finds himself trying to prevent the Fifth Great Ninja War.

Naruto Shippuden Set 1 will be out October 17, 2023. Naruto returns to the Village Hidden in the Leaves a little bit older and a whole lot stronger! The 4-Disc Blu-ray set will have episodes 1-27 as well as special features. Special features include Storyboards, Clean Open and End Videos, Voice Actor Featurette: Return of a Ninja, Art Gallery, and Trailers.

Viz Media’s NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: The Official Coloring Book is packed with over 70 line art images from the phenomenally popular anime based on the best-selling manga by Masashi Kishimoto.

Also announced at New York Comic Con was a Naruto Shippuden-themed set of hot sauce and popcorn seasonings. These limited edition Jade City Naruto Shippuden Hot Sauces and popcorn seasonings can be found on jadecityfoods.com.

Last but certainly not least, there is a limited edition Naruto Shippuden x Hot Topic apparel capsule. Be sure to check Hot Topic’s website before they sell out!
