Naruto concluded in 2017, yet its popularity is second to none. Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opus is one of the reasons why the anime and manga industry went mainstream. The Naruto franchise has a massive fan following in the Western countries. With the latest news, the franchise’s fan following could increase tenfold. A Naruto x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series is under production. It could mean that fans can hope for a movie soon.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a popular comic book in the Western countries. Previously, there has been a collaboration between the ninja turtles and DC Comics’ Batman. The fans are pretty excited about the recent developments. As soon as the news came out, everyone went to social media to show appreciation for such a unique and entertaining project.
Naruto x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Is Not A Distant Dream Anymore
IDW Publishing and VIZ Media came together to put up one of the best collaborations of the century. Even though Masashi Kishimoto is not involved, several big names are involved in the project. Sonic the Hedgehog comic famed Caleb Goellner is tasked with writing the story. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mayhem voice cast will return for the animated series.

The two publications joined their resources to create a team of their best artists and workers. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ illustrator Hendry Prasetya will be handling the artwork. The story is set before Sasuke abandoned the Hidden Leaf Village. Leonardo, Raphael, Michaelangelo, and Donatello will team up with Team Kakashi to eradicate the evil beings.
The social media went wild, and comments and posts were piling on top of each other. The fans could not control their emotions after seeing the collaboration. It is a legit reaction since Naruto x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series is not something that they enjoy every day.
Fans Are Expecting A Naruto x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animated Movie Soon
There has been no official release date mentioned for the animated series. But the fans have started to expect an animated movie soon. They believe if the series becomes a massive hit, Masashi Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot could come together for an animated film. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaborated with Batman when the Shredder joined Ra’s Al Ghul’s side. So, the animated movie is not something impossible.
Kishimoto might not be involved with the series, but it does not restrict him from getting involved during the movie. Moreover, the next time, the mangaka could write the script. A collaboration between two franchises always doubles the fun. Scooby-Doo x WWE and Scooby-Doo x Batman and Robin also saw the fans jumping with excitement. The Naruto-verse and TMNT-verse deal with ninjas. So, it would be a massive step in the world of ninja collaboration.
Everyone is waiting for the official release date. They are keeping their fingers crossed and praying for the series’ success. Only then could they visualize Kishimoto sensei teaming up with Studio Pierrot for another glorious animated movie. But this time, a separate group of ninjas will also be present.
Naruto can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can be streamed on Netflix.
