Ichiban Kuji is Bandai Spirits' guaranteed-prize lottery system — every ticket wins a physical prize, no exceptions. For Naruto fans outside Japan, it is the highest-quality official figure format available below the premium scale figure price point (POP UP PARADE, Figuarts Zero, etc.), and the best Naruto Ichiban Kuji lots produce Tier A figures that rival those premium lines in detail at a fraction of the cost. The challenge is knowing which lots to target and which to pass on.
This guide covers every significant Naruto and Naruto Shippuden Ichiban Kuji lot released since 2020, ranked by figure quality, prize tier value distribution, Last One Prize desirability, and secondary market performance.

The Best Naruto Ichiban Kuji Lots: Ranked
S-Tier: Akatsuki Organization Series
The Akatsuki Organization lot is the consensus best Naruto Ichiban Kuji ever produced. Focused exclusively on the Akatsuki villain organization rather than the main cast, it delivers: Tier A — Itachi Uchiha in Susanoo activation pose (22 cm, with purple translucent Susanoo wing effects, the finest Itachi figure Bandai Spirits has produced at any price point); Tier B — Pain (Nagato) in his Six Paths standing display; Tier C — Konan with paper butterfly display base; Tier D — Kisame with Samehada; Tier E — Deidara with clay bird mount. The Last One Prize is a twin-figure display piece of Itachi and Sasuke facing each other — the only official figure depicting the brothers' final encounter available in any official format. Secondary market value for the Last One Prize: €150–€200.
S-Tier: Fourth Ninja World War — Naruto & Sasuke
This lot covers the series' emotional climax: Naruto in Six Paths Sage Mode (the gold-orange truth-seeking orb form) as Tier A, and Sasuke in Indra's Arrow form as Tier B. The Tier A Naruto figure at 23 cm stands as the definitive official representation of the character's peak form — the translucent gold energy effects, the Sage of Six Paths ninjutsu seals, and the fully realized facial expression of someone fulfilling a lifelong promise. The Last One Prize is Naruto and Sasuke in the valley of the end finale pose. Secondary market: Last One Prize €140–€180; Tier A alone €80–€110.
A-Tier: Naruto Shippuden — Tailed Beasts Arc
The Tailed Beasts lot focuses on the Nine-Tails arc from Shippuden: Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode (the gold-orange bijuu shroud form) as Tier A, Killer B in Eight-Tails mode as Tier B. The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is one of the most visually striking Naruto designs, and the Tier A figure captures the churning gold-orange energy currents exceptionally well. A-tier rather than S-tier because the lower tiers (Tier D–G) are weaker than the Organization lot — mainly acrylic stands and flat accessories rather than figures.
A-Tier: Boruto — Next Generations, Kara Arc
For collectors who follow the sequel series, this Boruto lot is the best available. Tier A is Boruto Uzumaki in Karma Seal activated form — the purple seal visible on the face, Jougan eye glowing blue. Tier B is Kawaki in Kara uniform. The adult Naruto (Seventh Hokage form) appears as Tier C in this lot, which is notable since his Hokage design is underrepresented in Ichiban Kuji. Lower tiers are better than average, including a Tier D Sasuke Retsuden-era figure. Last One Prize: Boruto and Kawaki in combat tableau, €90–€130.
B-Tier: Naruto Classic — Genin Team 7
The original Team 7 lot uses classic Naruto designs (orange jumpsuit Naruto, young Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi in their Part 1 appearances), which is a niche within the broader collector market — original Naruto designs are beloved but command less secondary market demand than the Shippuden-era power form figures. Good gift lot for nostalgic fans; weaker investment than the arc-specific power-form lots. Tier A (Naruto in Rasengan charge pose) and Last One Prize (Team 7 group display) are the value pieces.
Last One Prize Values: Naruto 2020–2026
The Last One Prize is the signature Ichiban Kuji incentive — the final ticket drawn from a lot triggers an exclusive prize not available elsewhere. For major Naruto lots, these are among the most valuable Naruto figures in existence outside of limited wonder-festival exclusives. Current secondary market prices for notable Naruto Last One Prizes:
- Akatsuki Organization — Itachi/Sasuke diorama: €150–€200
- Fourth Ninja World War — Naruto/Sasuke valley diorama: €140–€180
- Tailed Beasts Arc — Kurama bijuu diorama: €110–€150
- Boruto Kara Arc — Boruto/Kawaki: €90–€130
- Classic Team 7 — Group display: €60–€90
For context on how Naruto Last One Prizes compare to the broader Ichiban Kuji Last One Prize market, see our complete Last One Prize guide. Naruto lots produce some of the highest Last One Prize valuations in the entire Ichiban Kuji catalogue, trailing only One Piece and Dragon Ball in absolute secondary market prices.
How to Buy Naruto Ichiban Kuji Outside Japan
Naruto Ichiban Kuji are sold exclusively in Japan through convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart) and licensed hobby shops. Outside Japan, three main channels exist:
- Japanese proxy services (Buyee, Zenmarket, FROM JAPAN) — Access to full lot purchases and individual prize singles on Yahoo Japan Auctions and Mercari Japan. Best for targeting specific prizes at competitive prices.
- International resellers (eBay, Amazon Marketplace) — Higher prices than Japan direct but simpler purchasing process. Tier A figures from recent Naruto lots typically appear within 4–8 weeks of Japanese sale dates.
- Spanish specialist import shops and conventions — Stock varies but occasionally includes full Ichiban Kuji lots or individual prize singles at import premium pricing.
