What you can do at Manga Barcelona
Bandai's plan for Manga Barcelona is the Tutorial Session: a guided game where you learn how the NARUTO CARD GAME works, six months before it reaches stores. What Bandai has confirmed:
- The Tutorial Session is free.
- You play with demo decks, but demo decks are not available to take home.
- You can take part in only one Tutorial Session during the whole show.
- Details on how to take part will be announced soon.
Bandai's event page doesn't mention tournaments or product sales at Manga Barcelona, so don't plan on either. If you want the rules before you go, read our first look at the rules and cards.
The CP-001 Chakra Card: who gets it
Tutorial participants can receive the CP-001 Chakra Card. To be eligible you need to:
- Take part in a Tutorial Session at Manga Barcelona.
- Be registered to the NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL in the BANDAI TCG+ app.
- Complete the survey after the session.
It's limited to one per person, however many sessions you book or attend. Bandai's event page doesn't show the card's artwork.
Why a Chakra card? In the NARUTO CARD GAME, Chakra is one of the card types: a deck has 51 cards plus 5 Chakra cards and 1 Summon card, and Chakra powers the support cards you set face down.
How to join the NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL (do it before you go)
- Install the BANDAI TCG+ app (App Store or Google Play) and log in with a BANDAI NAMCO ID. If you don't have one, register first.
- Tap the game title at the top and switch it to NARUTO CARD GAME.
- On the Events page, search for "NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL", open Event Details and tap Confirm Event Series.
- Tap Apply and confirm. You can also open the channel directly: NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL on BANDAI TCG+.
Our tip: do this at home. Signing up for an ID and an app on a busy show floor eats into your time.
Tickets and opening hours
- Manga Barcelona tickets are only sold on the official website. There are no ticket offices at the venue.
- Children's tickets can't be bought on their own: you add them when you buy a general admission ticket.
- The show is open from 10:00 to 20:00, from 5 to 8 December 2026. Enter through Gate 4, Carrer de la Botànica, 64.
