How to Train Your Dragon and NARUTO Collaboration Visual Revealed, Illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto

A special collaboration visual between the upcoming live action film How to Train Your Dragon and the globally popular manga NARUTO has been revealed.It was illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto himself.

The Visual shows Hiccup and Toothless flying across the sky, just like Naruto and Gamakichi. All these heroes come together under the idea of "friendship and growth". They are from different worlds, but they meet across different dimensions with a powerful fist bump. This shows that they are brave and like having adventures together.

NARUTO is about a ninja called Naruto Uzumaki. He used to be a ninja but then he stopped being a ninja. He wants to become Hokage, the leader of his village, and he wants to do this with his friends.

How to Train Your Dragon is a live action adaptation of the acclaimed 2010 animated film. Set in a Viking world where bravery defines one’s worth, it tells the story of Hiccup, a misfit boy who matures through his fateful encounter with the legendary dragon, Toothless.

Though rooted in distinct settings (the ninja village and a Viking island ) both works resonate with audiences through their shared narrative of “friendship and growth.” Where will the grand adventure of Hiccup and Toothless lead in this new dimension? The collaboration visual sparks excitement for the future awaiting these characters.

Masashi Kishimoto's Comment

The anime How to Train Your Dragon was so incredibly good that among us manga artists, it’s considered a masterpiece of the highest caliber. And now that it has been adapted into live-action, of course, it is just as amazing. Riding on the back of a live-action dragon feels many times more exhilarating. You can fly!
