Get Ready, Naruto Fans: Brace Yourselves for More Remake Episodes!

To mark the 20th anniversary of the anime series, Naruto, four episodes have been recreated and will soon be released. Originally scheduled for September 3, 2023, the release date has been delayed in order to enhance the quality, as stated in an announcement on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Despite being revamped versions of existing episodes, there is an overwhelming sense of anticipation. This enthusiasm bodes well, as it suggests that if these remakes are well-received, Studio Pierrot may consider remastering and releasing additional episodes from the series' past.

Please note that the content below contains minor spoilers from the Boruto manga chapters.

Although it may seem repetitive, this could potentially have a favorable ripple effect on the follow-up series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. It is important to grasp why fans should anticipate more than just four episodes of a remake.

Why Naruto might release more than just 4 remake episodes

There is no doubt that the entire fanbase is eagerly anticipating the release of the remake episodes. If the animators succeed in executing these episodes well, it could pave the way for more releases. This strategic move would greatly enhance the Boruto series. One major complaint from netizens was the abundance of filler episodes in the anime series.

While the manga chapters were released monthly, the anime episodes were aired on a weekly basis. As a result, the anime had to either take regular breaks or create original content. Fans would prefer the anime series to follow a seasonal format and solely adapt the source material.

If that happens, the Boruto series might have to halt indefinitely until significant advancements are made in the manga. Although the Naruto series has concluded, the reboot provides an opportunity for animators and writers to rectify any inconsistencies that existed in its original run.

Studio Pierrot, the animation studio in charge of animating this series, has the opportunity to emulate Toei Animation's success. Specifically, we are referring to Dragon Ball Z Kai, a revised edition of the original anime series. It is noteworthy that both Dragon Ball and the Naruto series have another interesting similarity.

In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their respective series, both Dragon Ball Z Kai and the forthcoming revised version of Naruto are being released. Given that Toei Animation has already accomplished this, Studio Pierrot can confidently undertake this project by closely studying the approach taken by Dragon Ball Z Kai in its remastered release.

The latest Boruto: Two Blue Vortex installment is generating immense excitement among fans, who eagerly await future developments. With the manga now venturing beyond the time skip, tensions are mounting between Code, Kawaki, and the main protagonist. A revamp of the series could propel the storyline forward and spare viewers from lackluster filler episodes.

Please stay updated for more anime and manga news throughout 2023 to find out whether the fanbase will receive a remake version of all the episodes, along with improved storytelling and the resolution of inconsistencies.
