• OfficialOctober 12, 2026The Demo Events Roll Out in Two Stages — "Wave 1 → Wave 2," Starting at Select Large-Scale BANDAI TCG+ Stores. The BCG Fest Venues Selling the Two Exclusives Are Named: Orlando and LondonBANDAI's English press release describes the in-store demo events beginning in February 2027 (Premier Demo Events; in Japanese, NARUTOカードゲーム 先行体験会) as a two-stage rollout. Wave 1 starts at select large-scale stores participating in BANDAI TCG+, with more stores added in Wave 2. The BANDAI CARD GAMES FEST 26-27 venues that will sell the two exclusives are not just "select" — Orlando and London are named. And the two Japanese primary sources differ on the start: "from early 2027" versus "from February 2027." Here is the schedule to launch, split into what is fixed and what is not.
• OfficialOctober 12, 2026The First Booster Pack's Japanese Name Is "Sanjo! Uzumaki Naruto" — The Same as the Subtitle of Episode 1 of the Anime. Japanese Names for the Demo Events and the Two Exclusives Are Out Too, and There Are Two Official English NamesOn October 11, 2026 the official NARUTO site (naruto-official.com) published the New York Comic Con 2026 announcement in Japanese, revealing the Japanese names: the first Booster Pack is "参上！うずまきナルト" (Sanjo! Uzumaki Naruto), the in-store events are "NARUTOカードゲーム 先行体験会," and the two exclusives are "オフィシャルプレイマット -ナルトvsサスケ-" and "プレミアムカードコレクション vol.00 -チャクラセット-." That booster title can be found on the official site's anime episode list as the subtitle of Episode 1 of NARUTO (Land of Waves arc). Meanwhile two different official English names exist, the Japanese names of the three Starter Decks are still unannounced, and the card game site's roadmap still reads "Summer 2027" as of October 12.
• ColumnOctober 11, 2026Three Starter Deck Leaders — The Third, Gaara, Is 0 of the 38 Revealed Cards, and "Sunagakure" Appears 0 Times. The Two Earlier Leaders Already Narrow Where the Difference ShowsBANDAI's October 10, 2026 press release named the three Starter Deck Leaders as Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara. Checking that against the 38 cards in our database: only two Leader cards are known, and they match on LIFE 15, DMG 1, POW 3 and rarity L. The differences are exactly two — the first effect and the traits. The second effect is word-for-word identical. That narrows what to look for on Gaara's Leader card. And Gaara is 0 of 38, with the trait "Sunagakure" appearing 0 times.
