One of Naruto Shippuden's most memorable arcs is getting its own dedicated kuji lineup. Confirmed via Bandai Spirits' official reveal and reported by Toy People, Ichiban Kuji Naruto Shippuden: Hidan & Kakuzu Arc launches October 26, 2026 at 790 JPY per draw, with Shikamaru and Asuma figures revealed ahead of launch.
This is a confirmed release with a locked launch date, so here's what's included.
Bandai Spirits' official reveal, as reported by Toy People, confirms the following:
The Hidan and Kakuzu confrontation is widely regarded as one of Naruto Shippuden's strongest arcs, built around Asuma's storyline and Shikamaru's response to it, so anchoring a kuji specifically to this arc gives Bandai a genuinely strong emotional and narrative hook to sell figures around.
Asuma doesn't receive premium figure treatment as often as the series' core cast, so his inclusion alongside Shikamaru in this early reveal signals Bandai is treating the Immortal Duo arc's full cast seriously rather than centering the kuji only on more commonly merchandised characters.
With the full prize lineup still being revealed in stages, it's worth watching for additional prize tier announcements as the October 26 launch date approaches.
For the MASTERLISE prize figures, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case, available up to 12 x 12 x 12 inches, offers dust-free display.
For posing Shikamaru and Asuma together, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds tiered shelf depth.

This Ichiban Kuji gives Naruto Shippuden collectors a dedicated lineup built around one of the series' most acclaimed arcs, with Asuma's inclusion a welcome surprise for longtime fans. With the full prize lineup still rolling out, it's worth watching for further reveals before October 26.
Having a case and stand ready means every pull will display well together once the kuji launches.
