NARUTO CARD GAME heads to Manga Barcelona: play before launch and discover CP-001
Bandai confirms December 5–8 tutorials at Fira Gran Via, with a CP-001 participation gift subject to conditions. Spanish fans gain a local opportunity to try the game ahead of its planned June 2027 launch.
In this article
Spanish fans following the first NARUTO CARD GAME previews now have a local date to watch. On November 6, Bandai announced tutorials at Manga Barcelona, taking place December 5–8, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat. It is a chance to move from preview images to a guided first game before the planned worldwide June 2027 release.
For prospective collectors, the appeal is a practical introduction before retail products arrive. Bandai lists both tutorials and a CP-001 participation gift, with conditions worth understanding before planning a visit.
A guided introduction before retail release
The announced activity is a learning session. Joining the tutorial is free, but entry to Manga Barcelona is required. These are separate arrangements: a free demo does not mean free convention admission.
Bandai has not yet explained how to book. Session times, capacity and stand location are also unspecified. A convention ticket should therefore not be treated as a confirmed tutorial place. The demo decks remain with the activity and cannot be taken home.
How the CP-001 gift works
The listed card is CP-001 Chakra Card. Eligibility requires joining the tutorial, registering for the NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL on TCG+ and completing a survey afterwards. Visitors may participate in only one tutorial throughout Manga Barcelona; the participation gift is also limited to one per person.
The official visual shows Naruto and Sasuke, English card text and SAMPLE. It is a promotional presentation image. No Spanish printing, Barcelona-stamped variant or print run is announced. The language shown does not independently establish the demo decks’ language or the language of instruction.
Why this stop matters
A tutorial offers something previews cannot: the opportunity to decide whether a first game makes you want another. For the Spanish community, a local convention stop can bring that experience closer and create a meeting point before the announced starters and first expansion arrive.
That is editorial interpretation, not evidence of sales or future success. A CP-001 can document the game’s early journey, but distribution at one event cannot establish scarcity or predict prices. Learning the game remains the central opportunity.
What to check before travelling
- Convention admission and its conditions on Manga Barcelona’s website.
- The tutorial booking instructions once Bandai publishes them.
- TCG+ channel registration and the post-session survey.
- The one-session and one-gift limits.
The event overlaps partly with CCXP in São Paulo, also announced on November 6. Each has its own admission arrangements. Follow the announced product timeline and card database for context. We will update practical information when a verifiable official booking route is published.
