Kayou Naruto Chapter Jin Series 4: the Shippuden set lands in the US on November 20, 2026

Kayou's next English Naruto release is Chapter Jin Series 4, built on Naruto Shippuden according to CBR's interview with Kayou's US team, and two independent reports put its United States release on November 20, 2026. This is what the reports say, where they disagree, and what we can and cannot add from our own data.

The date and who gives it

CBR's Leo Reyna reported on October 16, 2026, from an interview with Kayou's US team, that the set arrives November 20, 2026. Cottier TCG, an Australian retailer, published a product guide on October 23, 2026 giving "20 November 2026" for the US, sourced to "KAYOU, in its press interview before NYCC 2026", and November 27, 2026 for Australia. Kayou's US site, which carries a series page with model number, pack specs and tier counts for every prior release, did not have a Series 4 page when we checked on October 29, 2026. The date therefore rests on CBR and Cottier, not on Kayou's own page.

Cheng Chang, Kayou's Head of Collectible Card Studio, told CBR: "Naruto: Shippuden is more than just another story arc." Kayou US general manager Sergio Godinho gave CBR the price range: "$1.99 for entry-level products and $3.99 for Jin Edition cards."

211 cards or 186? Both figures are in print

This is the part to be careful with. CBR's interview says Series 4 has 211 card designs and 15 rarity tiers, "including brand-new SP designs". Cottier TCG, reading Kayou's rarity chart, reports 186 cards across 13 rarities. The two cannot both be right for the same product, and neither report explains the other. Possible reasons include a chart that omits parallel or promotional variants, or an interview count that includes them, but that is our guess, not either source's statement. We print both and will replace them with the figure on Kayou's own Series 4 page when it exists.

For scale, Kayou's US pages give 168 types across eleven tiers for Chapter Jin Series 2 and 185 types across thirteen tiers for Series 3. Either Series 4 figure makes it the largest Chapter Jin release.

The 33 serial-numbered cards

Cottier's guide breaks down the serialised cards as follows. The rarity abbreviations are Kayou's; our rarity guide explains them.

That is 33 cards, with the gold SP at 150 copies the shortest print in the set as Cottier reads the chart. The SE numbered to 299 is tighter than the Ninja Age box's serialised cards, which Hobby Card Index puts at 720 or 72 copies for XR and QR, and far tighter than the 699-copy Itachi SE from the Chinese Tier 4 Wave 5 that Hobby Card Index uses as its example of "where you see the big numbers". We have no Series 4 card list, card codes or images; when Kayou publishes them we will add the printed codes to our card code guide, which already records the NRSA prefixes that seller listings attach to the Chapter Jin releases.

Where it sits in Kayou's US line

The English releases, with counts from Kayou's US series pages where we have them and from gamertagmythras.com's list otherwise:

The Ninja Age Premium Collector Box is the most recent product and the one Series 4 follows. Kayou's own page lists it as August 2026 with "106 TYPES OF CARDS" and "10 RARITY TIERS" (XR, MR, QR, SSR, UR, PTR and SP among them). Its serialised XR cards are the ones that produce the five-figure asking prices you see quoted for Kayou Naruto; TheLines' October 22 guide lists an NRCCNA XR-001L5 at $14,999 in a BGS 10, without a sale date.

Prices: what we know and what we do not

Our Kayou price index does not yet include the English series. It holds 2,679 cards from the Chinese-market Tier 1 to Tier 4 waves, Ninja Age, promos and special sets, of which 1,077 had an eBay asking price on October 27, 2026, with a median of $10.00. Over seven days, 357 of those cards had a usable comparison: 38 were listed higher, 71 lower and 248 unchanged. That is the backdrop a new Kayou set launches into: an active market where most cards sit still week to week and a few serialised cards carry the money.

Hobby Card Index's May 20, 2026 bands for Kayou are the reference we would point a new buyer at: "Common R cards are pennies", "SR and SSR cards run a few dollars", "The UR, MR, and SP tiers move into the tens and low hundreds", and "The serial-numbered SE cards are where you see the big numbers", with a table range of "Low hundreds to low thousands" for SE. It rates Kayou's market depth "Active and still growing". We will have Series 4 asking prices only once sellers list the cards and our scan has codes to match; expect that to take a few weeks past November 20.

What to do before November 20

If you are buying to open, Cottier's AUD pre-order is the only published price per box we found: $89.95 AUD for a 12-pack box and $1,379.95 AUD for a 16-box case. US retail pricing per box has not been published; CBR's figures are per pack. If you are buying singles, wait for the card list. Kayou's chart and interview disagree on how many cards there are, so a seller's "complete set" means nothing until Kayou's page says what complete is. Start with our Kayou hub, the card database for the Chinese line and the rarity guide, and check whether a card is genuine with Are Kayou Naruto cards real? before paying serialised-card money.
