It’s time to dust off those headbands and sharpen those kunai, Naruto fans! The anime that has captivated audiences for two decades is back in the spotlight, but not without a small hiccup. Scheduled new episodes to mark the franchise’s 20th anniversary are being postponed, but the vibe is as electric as ever.
Kunai-Sharp Eyes on the Calendar
The original plan was to have four brand-new of Naruto episodes air starting September 3, but now the date has shifted. Official sources cite a commitment to delivering the utmost quality as the reason for this sudden change. While it’s a bummer that fans won’t get their ninja fix on that specific date, it does mean that something epic is being meticulously crafted behind the scenes.
“As for the new premiere date, keep those kunai-sharp eyes peeled,” says the official announcement.
So, it might be wise to engage in some Boruto: Naruto Next Generations binge-watching to keep the excitement alive in the interim.
Special Musical Guest: FLOW
To raise the stakes even higher, the renowned music group FLOW will take on the opening theme for these upcoming episodes. They’re bringing a special 20-year-anniversary version of their legendary song ‘GO!!!’. For the ending theme, the band has prepared a cover of Orange Range’s ‘Viva Rock’. The music alone is giving fans another reason to keep an eye on the release schedule.
Two Decades of Ninja Greatness
It all started in October 2002, when Naruto debuted and left an indelible mark on the world of anime. Through the years, this franchise has expanded into multiple anime television series, movies, and original video anime. From Naruto to Naruto Shippuden and then to the sequel manga Boruto: Naruto Next Generations—each addition to the franchise has only elevated its legendary status.

In fact, Boruto’s television series not only wrapped up its initial phase with its 293rd episode but has officially confirmed the production of Part II. Naruto’s journey has been like an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster ride filled with action, emotion, and iconic moments.
A Legacy That’s Still Unfolding
Naruto has been a part of many lives for 20 years now. The original creator of Naruto manga, Masashi Kishimoto, even took over as the manga’s writer for Boruto in November 2020. This goes to show how this legacy is far from over.
In terms of Naruto’s own legacy, one might wonder about his strongest form. For those who are interested, it’s the Baryon Mode. It’s hard to say if this will feature in the new episodes, but it does add an extra layer of intrigue to what’s already a highly-anticipated event.
