The Dubai Tutorial Session Opens Today, and It Appears Nowhere in the Official Site's "What's Coming" — Collating All 9 Schedule Rows and 8 Links Across Four Language Versions, Dubai Is the Only One of Seven Overseas Event Pages Not Linked (as of November 6; Two Pages Were Added the Next Day, Making Three Unlinked). The November Bucket Holds Only Lucca, Which Has Already Ended

[Update, November 7, 2026] This article is a record of the state as of November 6, 2026. Re-checking on November 7, we found that the English official site had added two event pages dated November 06, 2026: CCXP 2026 (Brazil, December 3-6) and Manga Barcelona 2026 (Spain, December 5-8). The venue-specific overseas event pages therefore went from seven to nine (all nine return 200 only on the English version and 404 on jp, asia-en and asia-tc), and the overseas event pages not linked from the schedule are no longer “Dubai only” but three: Dubai, CCXP and Manga Barcelona. The schedule block itself is unchanged, with eight links in all four language versions, six of them to overseas event pages. The string tabletopme on the English front page also went from five hits to zero, because the latest-news block rotated to the two new items (see the updates in sections 2 and 3, and our November 7 article). The body below is left as the November 6 record.

The Dubai Tutorial Session starts today. The official site’s list of what is coming does not include it.

Tabletop.me (Dubai, UAE), where the NARUTO Card Game Tutorial Session takes place, opens today, Friday November 6, 2026 and runs to Sunday November 8. With Lucca Comics & Games 2026 having closed on November 1, this is the next venue in the world where you can touch the NARUTO Card Game.

In our November 2 article we recorded the organiser’s data (entry from AED 99.00, only six hours of opening on day one), and in our November 5 article the gap in how three Bandai titles at the same venue are documented. Both of those looked inside the Dubai page.

Today we looked somewhere else: the places where the official site tells you what is coming — the schedule block on the front page, and the roadmap.

6 / 7Overseas event pages linked from the scheduleAs of November 6; 6 / 9 the next day (see update)
0Things still to come in the November bucketAll it holds is Lucca, already ended

Basis for this article: everything below rests on the NARUTO Card Game official site — the Japanese front page, English front page, English(Asia) front page, Traditional Chinese front page, the roadmap, each version’s news index, and the seven venue-specific event pages (all checked November 6, 2026, between 08:10 and 08:45 JST). Link counts come from fetching each page’s HTML and enumerating every href on an a element inside the schedule block (between SCHEDULE and SEE THE ROADMAP). Page existence was checked by HTTP status code. Quotations reproduce the official wording. The Dubai session’s timetable, capacity, participant gifts and merchandise are unannounced, so we publish no speculation about them.

The official front page carries a block headed SCHEDULE (スケジュール in Japanese) with the line “Stay tuned for even more event announcements to come!”, listing upcoming items grouped by year and month.

Today we fetched that block in the Japanese, English, English(Asia) and Traditional Chinese versions and collated every row and link target. The result: all four versions carry the same nine rows and eight links. (Of the eight, only the “BCG Fest 26-27” row points at each version’s own page — /jp/ on Japanese, /en/ on English, /asia-en/ on English(Asia), /asia-tc/ on Traditional Chinese. The other seven point at the same URL in all four versions.)

Here are the eight links (row wording from the English version).

The ninth row is 2027 / 06 “Scheduled Release” and is the only row without a link (release is June 2027).

Dubai, which opens today, is not on this list.

2. There are seven overseas event pages, and six of them are linked

Let us count the venue-specific pages the official site has. For overseas events, each venue has its own page under /en/news/. Today we checked the HTTP status code of all seven across all four language versions.

Page/jp//en//asia-en//asia-tc/Linked from the schedule
gencon-2026.php404200404404Yes
nycc-2026.php404200404404Yes
paxaus-2026.php404200404404Yes
spielessen-2026.php404200404404Yes
parisgamesweek-2026.php404200404404Yes
lucca-2026.php404200404404Yes
tabletopme-2026.php404200404404No

What all seven share is that they exist only on the English version (404 on Japanese, English(Asia) and Traditional Chinese). So “no page in my language” is not specific to Dubai.

What differs is whether the schedule block links to it. The Japanese, English(Asia) and Traditional Chinese schedule blocks link out to the English pages for six of the seven. The only one of the seven with no link is tabletopme-2026.php.

[Update, November 7, 2026] On re-checking on November 7, the overseas event pages had grown to nine with ccxp-2026.php and manga-barcelona-2026.php (both dated November 06, 2026). Like the existing seven, both return 200 only on /en/ and 404 on /jp/, /asia-en/ and /asia-tc/, and neither is linked from the schedule block. The schedule’s eight links (six of them to overseas event pages) are the same as on November 6 in all four versions, so the unlinked overseas event pages are now three of nine: Dubai, CCXP and Manga Barcelona.

Link status from the schedule block for the seven overseas venue pages (as of November 6, 2026)
  • Linked from the schedule 6pages(86%)
  • Not linked (Dubai) 1pages(14%)

3. The string “tabletopme” appears zero times on the Japanese front page

Beyond links, we also counted raw string occurrences — how many times tabletopme appears in each version’s front-page HTML.

Language versiontabletopme on the front pageEntry in the news index
Japanese0No
English5 (in the latest-news block)Yes (October 09, 2026)
English(Asia)0No
Traditional Chinese0—

The English front page does carry the Dubai item (Tabletop.me Event Information / October 09, 2026) in its latest-news block. On the English version alone, you can reach Dubai from the news even though it is absent from the schedule.

[Update, November 7, 2026] On November 7, tabletopme returned zero hits on the English front page. The latest-news block had rotated to four items — Manga Barcelona 2026 Event Information and CCXP 2026 Event Information (both November 06, 2026), plus NARUTO CARD GAME New Info Revealed! Oct. 2026 Event Information and Premier Demo Event Event Information (both October 13, 2026) — pushing the Dubai item out. The English news index still lists Tabletop.me Event Information (Oct. 09, 2026). The zero counts on the Japanese, English(Asia) and Traditional Chinese front pages are unchanged.

On the Japanese, English(Asia) and Traditional Chinese versions there is no entry on the front page and none in the news index. For someone following this site in Japanese, the Dubai Tutorial Session is an event that does not exist on the official site.

The English(Asia) version does carry an October 23 entry for gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 in Bangkok (our October 27 article). On that version gamescom returns seven hits and tabletopme zero. The pattern of “different events appearing on different versions” is unchanged from what we recorded on October 27.

4. All the November bucket holds is Lucca, which has already ended

The schedule block is grouped by year and month. The only row inside the “2026 / 11” bucket is Oct. 28 - Nov. 01 (Lucca).

Lucca closed on November 1 (our November 1 article). Which means:

As of today, the November bucket of the official schedule contains zero things still to come.

The next row is 2026 / 12, Dec. 19 - 20 New info reveals (Jump Festa 2027). So going by the official schedule, there is nothing at all across the 48 days from November 1 to December 19. In reality the Dubai session starts today, and Tutorial Sessions follow at BCG Fest Bangkok on November 21-22 and Hong Kong on November 28-29 (the latter two are subsumed into the single Oct. 2026 - Early 2027 Tutorial Sessions planned row).

Our November 2026 schedule records 16 items in this window whose dates can be confirmed from primary sources.

5. It is not that the block went untouched — a row was added on November 2

This is the fact that carries the most weight here. The schedule block was edited four days before Dubai opened.

On November 2, when the Japanese version published “Jump Festa 2027 Exhibition Information” (our November 2 article), a 2026 / 12 bucket and a Dec. 19 - 20 New info reveals row were added to the schedule at the same time. That addition landed in all four language versions (12.19 - 12.20 新情報公開 in Japanese, 12.19 - 12.20 公開最新資訊 in Traditional Chinese).

The schedule addition and the Dubai opening, in order
  1. October 9Dubai page published on the English version
  2. November 2Jump Festa row added to the schedule
  3. November 6 (today)Dubai opens. No row added

Twenty-eight days passed between the page going up on October 9 and today, and in that window the schedule block itself was updated once. The Dubai row still was not added.

We publish no speculation about what the difference means (a deliberate difference in treatment, or something that simply slipped through operationally). What can be confirmed officially stops at the fact that the schedule block and the roadmap have no Dubai row.

6. The roadmap’s “upcoming schedule” lists only three items

Below the schedule block, “SEE THE ROADMAP” links to /jp/welcome/#roadmap. We checked its “upcoming schedule” today too. Three items, in total.

Item (official wording, Japanese version)Period / place as printed
BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27(11 cities worldwide / 2026.10-)
Jump Festa 2027(Tokyo / 2026.12.19 - 12.20)
Product release(simultaneous worldwide / 2027.06)

Dubai is not here either. The strings tabletopme and gamescom both return zero hits on this page.

The roadmap is the framework published at the July 29 information reveal, and in that sense Dubai and Bangkok are alike: both arrived from outside the roadmap (our October 10 article). For a Tutorial Session that is not on the roadmap, whether you can follow it comes down to whether a row goes up in the front-page schedule block. This time, no row went up.

7. On opening day, the Dubai page still says “stay tuned for further details”

Finally, the state of the Dubai page itself today. No change since its October 9 dateline.

Six headings (h1 Tabletop.me Event Information, h2 Details, h3 Period, h3 Location, h3 Tabletop.me Admission, h2 Tutorial Session). Two notes, which today still read:

* Demo decks are not available to take home.

* Registration for the Tutorial Sessions is planned to take place on-site on the day of the event. Please stay tuned for further details.

“The day of the event” is today. The wording is still “is planned”, and “Please stay tuned for further details” is still there. The strings CP-001 and Chakra still return zero hits (unchanged from what we recorded on November 5).

The organiser’s information is also unchanged from the November 2 check. Doors are 16:00-22:00 on November 6 and 12:00-22:00 on the 7th and 8th; entry starts at AED 99.00 for a one-day ticket (AED 49.00 Junior). None of the organiser’s 21 tournament add-ons is NARUTO (our November 2 article).
