Viz Media is rolling right along with their releases of Naruto: Shippuden, trying to catch up as much as they can to the simulcast while being a bit behind to be sure, and they’ve got the 21st volume scheduled for January 20th, 2015. This release brings us thirteen new episodes of the series in English for the first time on home video, priced at $44.82, where we’ll get episodes 258 through 270. With the simulcast in the early 380’s, that’s definitely a little room to catch up with.
The series comes with a few extras, though less than some other recent sets, as we’re seeing just the clean opening and closing on it as no storyboards are available.
Plot concept: The Fourth Great Ninja War has begun and even the strongest fight to survive! The quest for power and struggle for control leads many heroes down hard roads. Sasuke’s revelation of Naruto’s potential and defeat in combat lead him to consider the path of Orochimaru. While Naruto continues to master the power within under the watchful eye of Killer Bee, the Allied Shinobi Forces confront Madara and Kabuto’s army of Reanimated Shinobi and White Zetsu. Can the alliance hold long enough to stop the army?
