As part of its Anime Expo 2023 announcements, Viz Media offered updates on the Naruto Shippuden Blu-ray set and the Narutop99 Minato one-shot manga. The former’s first set is going to appear outside Japan on October 17, 2023. The latter will show up on July 18, 2023. Viz Media confirmed it will appear everywhere.
There will be two ways to get the first Naruto Shippuden set of episodes. It will be available physically on Blu-ray. It will also be sold digitally. Viz didn’t note how many episodes will be included in Set 1. It did show a trailer for it though.
After training on the road with Jiraiya of the Sannin, Naruto is back in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and he’s ready to show off his new skills!

As for the Naruto Minato one-shot, the announcement confirmed a simultaneous worldwide release. Viz Media specifically cited Shonen Jump will be a source, so it seems people will be able to read it in its new app. Typically, these chapters also appear online on the company’s official site as well, so we could see that happen as well.
Naruto Shippuden Set 1 will appear on Blu-ray and digitally on October 17, 2023. The Naruto and Boruto anime can be found on Crunchyroll, while Viz Media handles the manga localizations.
