The priciest card in every Kayou Naruto box: Tier 1 to Tier 4 and the special series, October 2026

Which Kayou Naruto box holds the priciest chase card? We took every box in our Kayou archive, the Chinese-market Tier 1 to Tier 4 waves plus the EX packs, promos and special series, and pulled the card with the highest asking price in each from our eBay price index as it stood on October 27, 2026. Kayou cards are collectibles with no tournament play, so these figures follow rarity, serial numbers and character.

Two rules apply throughout. A card is grouped into a box exactly as its box page groups it, and only cards with three or more listings are counted, the same rule the box pages and price lists use. Each figure is the median of that card's five cheapest active listings, not a sale.

The priciest card in each box

Codes are shown as printed. "Cards" is how many cards our archive lists for the box.

Nine boxes have no card with three or more listings: Tier 1 Wave 4, Tier 2 Wave 7, Badge Collection, Heaven & Earth, Figure Collection, Live, New Year Special, Ninja Age and Ninja Age (N). Our archive lists one card for each EX pack, so those rows are that card, not a pick from a set.

Two flagged rows

Tier 4 Wave 8. The four listings behind Sasuke NRZ08-ASP-002 run from $2,299.00 to $30,000.00 and mix copies with serials out of 99 and "L5" copies out of 9. Our scan cannot tell the ◇ASP version, which Kayou's Chapter Jin Series 3 page lists as a separate Parallel Amber Special tier, from plain ASP in a seller's title, so the figure is a mixed pool. The highest Wave 8 figure we would quote is Gaara NRZ08-ASP-007 at $1,395.87 on three listings.

T2.5. Two of the three listings behind Naruto NR-CP-001 are full sets titled "NR-CP-001 To NR-CP-010", and the one single-card listing asks $18.99. The next T2.5 card, Orochimaru NR-SP-011, shows $20.89 on five listings.

Thin rows deserve the same care: Tier 4 Wave 6's Kakashi NR-PU-004 rests on three listings of one title, the cheapest at $2.80, and only 2 of that box's 158 cards have three or more listings.

Which tiers hold the priciest chase cards

Tier 4 holds the top asks, but only in some waves. Waves 4, 5 and 8 are led by serial-numbered SE or ASP cards. Waves 1 to 3 are led by an LR and two BP cards, none above $56.99, and Waves 6 and 7 are thinly covered: 2 of 158 and 16 of 168 cards are quotable. Our archive's collector-guide data gives Tier 4 exclusive access to HR, BP, SLR and serial-numbered SE, and Hobby Card Index calls the serial-numbered SE cards "where you see the big numbers".

Tier 3 is led by NR, the rarity our data lists as a Tier 3 box chase, in Waves 2 to 4. Madara NR-NR-017 is the priciest non-Tier 4 card in a tier box, though all six of its listings are graded copies.

Tier 2 is mostly a CR box on asking price: CR leads five of the eight quotable waves, all under $100. Our data marks CR as Tier 2's exclusive chase except in Wave 1, and Wave 1's top card is an SP at $4.64.

Tier 1 tops out at $23.99. Our data names GP as the top chase of a Tier 1 box, but only two of the 24 GP cards in Waves 2 to 4 have any listing, each on two, so none is quotable.

Outside the tiers, EX Pack 1's Gaara NR-SP-009 at $192.98 and Youth Scroll's Tsunade NR-BP-014 at $118.99 lead. For the overall ranking see the most expensive Kayou Naruto cards; for the codes, the rarity guide and the card code guide.
