Earlier in 2023, Marvel dropped their animated series, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Anime fans soon spotted Naruto’s Team 7 as they made their first Marvel cameo. Marvel is one of the biggest franchises in the world. Since Iron Man 2008, they have established themselves as the best in the superhero business. There is another thing that they do better than most.
Marvel Studios has always had a knack for quirky Easter eggs and cameos that make fans jump up in joy. Their animated series, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, followed the same path. They had one hell of a cameo, even though it was just for a few seconds. The cameo is a nostalgic treat for Naruto fans.
Naruto’s Team 7 In Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur started airing on February 10, 2023. Season 1 of the Disney+ MCU show ended with 16 episodes. But the most interesting thing happened in episode 1. During the face-off between the good and the bad guys, the screen quickly shifts to the classroom. The first three benches of the classroom are occupied by Naruto’s Team 7.

Even if it was for just a fraction of a second, it was a joyous moment for Naruto fans to see their favorite characters in an MCU show. A girl with pink hair, red attire with white circle marks on the sleeves, and a black bandana; a blonde boy with an orange and blue jacket and orange trousers wearing a black headband; and finally a spiky-haired boy wearing a black shirt and black shoes.
It could be understood quite well that the girl was Sakura Haruno, the blonde kid was Naruto Uzumaki, and the last one was Sasuke Uchiha. The only difference was that Naruto was wearing a band-aid on his cheeks instead of his iconic whisker marks.

The show has been renewed for a new season and will premiere in 2024. There might be more evil than Lunella can imagine. So, it won’t be a bad idea to get the help of Team 7, who have dealt with extraterrestrial beings.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is non-canon in the Marvel Universe. It means that Naruto is also a non-canon character. So, it won’t affect the MCU’s timeline if Team 7 does help Moon Girl. Moreover, everybody would love a ninja-superhero crossover.
