PART A: NARUTO CARDS

A0. Four distinct products (do not conflate)

  • Kayou NARUTO Smriti (collect-only, North America English from Fall 2025).
  • Cicaboom NARUTO Mythos TCG (playable, Europe/UK/Turkey/MENA 13 March 2026; North America being finalized).
  • Bandai NARUTO CARD GAME (announced 18 June 2026, Gen Con 2026 debut, worldwide release 2027; rules partially known, price not announced).
  • Bandai Naruto CCG (2006-2013, historical context).

1. How to play

Kayou Naruto (collect-only)

  • No game rules, no tournaments; collectible only. gamertagmythras comparison
  • Collecting is driven by rarity chasing and print treatments (ukiyo-e, stained-glass, holographic). Same source.
  • Rarity ladder is rebuilt per set; there is no universal ladder. Heaven Scroll Series 1 has 10 tiers over 158 cards: SE 4, SP 4, BP 7, MR 6, PU 8, PTR 20, UR 15, SSR 24, SR 20, R 50. Notably SSR sits BELOW UR. Kayou explained
  • Pack configs: Heaven Scroll 8 cards/pack, 24 packs/box; Earth Scroll Series 2 7 cards/pack, 20 packs/box. [search summary of retailer pages, see sources]
  • Set-completion mechanic: R-tier cards form 5-card scene puzzles (cheapest tier, rewards completing). Titanium-tier products carry serialized and autograph cards. [Kayou explained]
  • Earth Scroll Series 2 has an "AR" tier that is the ukiyo-e set, not a shinier UR. [Kayou explained]
  • Authenticity: Kayou runs a verification section; certificate features include shifting text, point-light "K", depth-of-field background, micro-embossed logo. [Kayou explained]

5. How players and collectors use it

  • Kayou: pack opening (e.g., Graphic Policy opening article), single buying on eBay, authorized retailers (Target, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Barnes & Noble, TikTok Shop). Apps: Multiverse (reading open, posting needs free account) named by Kayou guide.
  • Mythos: Store/Regional Championships (June-July 2026). Apps for deck building: NOT VERIFIED.

6. Community behavior

  • Counterfeits are a known problem (Kayou authenticity page exists). Discord community named by the guide. Specific Reddit/scalping evidence: not found. NA English releases reportedly command premium (accio.com aggregator, low reliability).

7. Company strategy

  • Bandai: ICv2 frames Naruto as part of reviving dormant IPs for English audiences, like Gundam and Digimon. Gen Con 2026 debut then global 2027 launch.
  • Kayou: mainstream NA retail push from Fall 2025. Mythos: Cicaboom distribution via Breakflip/Zvezdar in Europe with organized play.
