High-res scans of the Gen Con demo cards reveal 11 more — Leader Sasuke is N-012, and the "Taka" package arrives with Karin, Suigetsu, Jūgo, and Manda

High-resolution scan images of the English-version NARUTO Card Game demo cards distributed at Gen Con 2026 have been posted by X user @shikatoreca. Following yesterday’s 6 cards from venue photos, these scans make 11 more card faces legible, giving us a near-complete picture of both the Naruto and Sasuke demo decks. Everything confirmed has been added to the card database.

This article is read from scan images of the distributed demo cards (SAMPLE watermark, NOT FOR SALE marking). It is not a formal announcement on the official site, and only the English versions have been confirmed. The shared images also contain fine-text distortion that appears to come from image processing (for example, Kakashi’s card number renders as something like “K-039”), so small details may differ in the retail release.

The Leader Sasuke’s number is confirmed as N-012

The card number of the Leader “Sasuke Uchiha” — hidden behind a highlight in the official site’s diagram — is confirmed as N-012 with an “L” rarity mark. Both Leaders (Naruto N-001 and Sasuke N-012) are now fully known.

A dense “Taka” package: Karin N-010, Jūgo N-019, Suigetsu N-021, Manda N-022

The biggest takeaway is the group of cards supporting EX Sasuke (N-014) and its {The Taka} summon requirement:

  • Karin (N-010): Cost 1 / POW 4 / HP 6. [Support] Hurry up and bite me! — [During Your Opponent’s Attack] Summon this card and you gain 2 Life. Life gain is a first
  • Jūgo (N-019): POW 9 / HP 7. The debut [When Attacking] trigger reveals your top card and summons it outright if it is “Sasuke Uchiha” or a non-EX {The Taka} card
  • Suigetsu Hozuki (N-021): Cost 1 / POW 5 / HP 5. Summons with [Quick] and shields an ally from your opponent’s Support effects for the turn
  • Manda (EX, N-022): DMG 2 / POW 8 / HP 10. Its summon requirement — just 1 of your Characters trashed — is the lightest among confirmed EXes, and it cheats out a non-EX Character from your top deck on summon

Also, a correction: we previously reported “Hinata Hyuga = N-010” from venue photos, but the scans confirm N-010 is Karin, so Hinata’s number is now unconfirmed (her trait line is confirmed as Hyuga Clan / Hidden Leaf Village / Team 8).

“K.O. all Characters” for cost 2 — the mirrored Rasengan and Chidori

These appear to be full board wipes hitting both players — a 2-CHAKRA reset button already present at the demo-deck stage. Unlike the [During Your Opponent’s Attack] family seen so far, these fire on your own Main Phase, which is itself new information.

Itachi N-013, Minato N-007, Orochimaru, and more

What we know now — and still don’t

Confirmed Character-series numbers now cover N-001 / 003 / 004 (probable) / 005 / 006 / 007 / 008 / 009 / 010 / 011 / 012 / 013 / 014 / 016 / 019 / 021 / 022, leaving N-002, 015, 017, 018, 020 and others open. Still unconfirmed:

  • Official Japanese wording for every card (again, English only this time)
  • Card numbers for Sakura, Choji, Orochimaru, and Chidori Sasuke (cut off in the images)
  • Official Japanese names and detailed handling of the debut triggers [During Your Main], [Your Turn], and [When Attacking]
  • The product lineup and the overall rarity system

The timeline has been updated. Gen Con runs through August 2 local time; we will report as more is confirmed.
