Naruto Movies Watch Order

TL;DR Watch the movies in the order they fit into the series to avoid spoilers. "The Last" is canon and should be watched after episode 493 of "Naruto Shippuden".

Chronological Order with Episodes

To watch the Naruto movies without disrupting the storyline or encountering spoilers, it's best to follow a chronological order based on their release relative to the anime episodes:

  1. Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow - After Episode 101 of Naruto [2:1]
  2. Legend of the Stone of Gelel - After Episode 160 of Naruto [2:1]
  3. Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom - After Episode 220 of Naruto [2:1]

For "Naruto Shippuden":

  1. Naruto Shippuden the Movie - After Episode 32 [2:1]
  2. Bonds - After Episode 71 [2:1]
  3. The Will of Fire - After Episode 126 [2:1]
  4. The Lost Tower - After Episode 143 [2:1]
  5. Blood Prison - After Episode 196 [2:1]
  6. Road to Ninja - After Episode 251 [2:1]
  7. The Last - After Episode 493 [2:1]

Canon vs. Filler

"The Last" is the only movie that is considered canon within the Naruto universe, making it essential viewing for fans following the main storyline [4:1], [5:3]. The other movies are generally regarded as filler, but some, like "Road to Ninja", are noted for capturing the show's essence despite being non-canon [5:1].

Recommended Viewing

While many movies are filler, several are recommended for their entertainment value or contribution to the Naruto experience:

  • Road to Ninja is often praised for its emotional depth and connection to the series' themes [5:1].
  • The Will of Fire and Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom are also popular among fans [4:1].

Additional Resources

For further guidance, the Naruto Series Guide provides comprehensive information on the watch order and additional context for each movie [1:2], [3:2].

Road To Ninja is not meant to be watch for another 100 episodes or so.

Try to look up (on Wikipedia) when the movies were released, and then check when the episodes were released. That's the best way to avoid being spoiled by a movie

In what order should I watch the movies?

Posted by WolfOfTheWildDragons · in r/Naruto · 7 months ago

I just got into Naruto and I LOVE it and I just realized that there are also movies, I’m on Season 4 episode 20 and I was wondering when and in what order I should watch the movies. Should I finish the show series 1st then watch the movies in a certain order? Or should I stop in between seasons to watch a movie?

It doesn’t matter too much when you watch the movies as long as you watch them in the correct era. Here’s an order that makes the most sense though:

Part 1:

Ninja clash in the land of snow (after ep101)

Legend of the stone of gele (after ep 160)

Guardians of the crescent moon kingdom (after ep 220)

Shippuden:

Naruto Shippuden the movie (after ep 32)

Bonds (after ep 71)

The will of fire (after ep 126)

The lost tower (after ep 143)

Blood prison (after ep 196)

Road to ninja (after ep 251)

Post-Naruto:

The last (after ep 493)

Hey guys, what's the right order to watch both the anime and the movies?

Posted by nendere · in r/Naruto · 4 years ago

I recently recommended my friend to also watch this, and I want to give her the right order to watch it (since i watched it a long time ago and whenever I rewatch it I just watch the anime). The parts that confuse me is that on the internet people put some movies way earlier before the storyline, for example, Road to Ninja ideally should be after episode 311, but people put it after around 240??? or something. Can you guys give me an accurate order of watching the movies and shorts?

P.S. English is not my native, please excuse any errors.

Naruto The Last is a canon movie, so you should watch it. 

The movies that I enjoyed and think are worth the watch are 

Naruto The Crescent Moon Kingdom

Naruto Shippuden The Movie

Naruto Shippuden Will of Fire

Naruto Shippuden Road To Ninja.

The others are good too except for Stone Gelel and Blood Prison. In my opinion they’re kind of bad.

Along with the last and boruto the movie, watch road to ninja. That one was really good too. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to watch that one in the high 300s range though so you should be good for a while.

Borchert97 · 7 years ago

All the movies are trash and filler except for The Last and Boruto, but they remade the Boruto movie in the anime so even that one is worth skipping. Watch The Last Movie after the final fight, someone else could probably name the exact episode you should watch it after.

/u/TakasuXAisaka did a great job giving their overall placement in the narrative, but I’ll make the obligatory comment that pretty much all the movies are non-canon and fully optional. The only canon or ‘required’ movie is The Last. The Boruto is semi-canon, but the Boruto anime adapted it and made a few changes.

From the faq

Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow can be watched after OG Naruto episode 101.

Legend of the Stone of Gelel and Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom can be watched any time after OG Naruto episode 142.

Naruto Shippuden: The Movie can be watched at any time during Naruto Shippuden. Any strange concepts are movie-only and will probably be explained throughout. Might be best to watch a few episodes of Shippuden first so you get a real reintroduction to the cast first.

Bonds is probably best watched after Shippuden episode 53, since a few characters in that movie are introduced in that anime arc.

The Will of Fire should be watched after Shippuden episode 120. There aren't any new characters in this movie, but there are important character developments in those episodes that play a role in the movie.

The Lost Tower I'd say either after Shippuden episode 175 or if you wanted, you could probably watch it after the third movie. At this point in the anime, it explicitly spells out a relationship between two important characters that is strongly implied in the movie. But I'm guessing that either you already know what it is, or you can figure it out pretty easily.

Blood Prison can be watched right after the fourth movie, but you definitely want to have watched through Shippuden episode 175. There's a couple of new characters and a new ability for one character that you'll probably want background on.

Road to Ninja, you'll definitely want to watch through Shippuden episode 249 before the movie. Things will be much more impactful that way. As a side note, Shippuden episode 311 is a tie-in to the movie. It's not crucial to watch, but you can if you want to. It's also a standalone episode, so you can skip ahead to that one without spoiling anything prior.

The Last happens after the end of the series. Watch this after Shippuden episode 479 (watch the credits as well) of Naruto Shippuden, which corresponds to chapter 699 in the manga.

right order to watch naruto?

Posted by saiyan_prince1998 · in r/anime · 5 years ago

I have just found time to start watching Naruto after heavy recommendations from everyone I know even remotely watching Anime. But there are just so many titles that I am confused. I want to know the right order to watch the series including all the movies, Shippuden and Boruto (which I understand is the latest installment of Naruto universe) TL:DR; want to know the correct order to watch everything in the Naruto universe to properly enjoy the show in all its glory.

EDIT: Found a decent chronological order in the wiki page of subreddit. General order seems to be Naruto->Shippuden->The Last (movie)->Boruto Also only the last movie is canon and others are not.

Hi saiyan_prince1998, it seems like you might be looking for a show's watch order!

On our watch order wiki you can find suggested orders for a ton of shows (hopefully including the one you're looking for), as well as information that will help you decide on what to watch for the more complicated series <cough> Gundam <cough>.

What are the filler episodes and would it be fine if i watch them anyways

1 upvotes on reddit

dumbass_cuck · 4 years ago

Filler episodes don't follow the main plot and are irrelevant to the main story. It would be a waste of time to watch them since they're written by the anime studio and not the original series's author so they don't advance the plot at all and are never mentioned again so it's safe to skip them. However, mixed episodes (ones that include both manga canon and a little filler) should not be skipped.

Use this filler guide for Naruto and skip the red highlighted episodes and only watch the green.

After you finish Naruto, you can start watching Naruto Shippuden. Use this guide for Shippuden

Now, the only relevant and canon movie in the series is The Last: Naruto the Movie. Watch this movie after episode 493 of Naruto Shippuden.

After you finish Naruto Shippuden, you can start Boruto: Naruto Next Gen. Boruto Filler guide

As for the other movies, they are not relevant or canon to the story so you can watch them after you finish the series. Here's the order of the movies:

  1. Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
  2. Legend of the Stone of Gelel
  3. Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom:
  4. Naruto Shippuden the Movie
  5. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Bonds
  6. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire
  7. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Blood Prison
  8. Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
  9. The Last: Naruto the Movie (remember to watch this one after ep 493 of Shippuden as it is the only relevant movie out of them all)

Probably. All of the movies, except for movies 7 and 8 in shippuden arent canon, so you should be fine. Make sure to watch shippuden movie 7 after ep 484(?). Shippuden movie 8 takes place after the series ends but there's no point in watching if you intend to watch boruto, as there's an arc that covers and expands that same movie

How to watch Naruto without the filler episodes

Naruto Shippuden filler episodes to skip

best order to watch Naruto series

AI Answer

🤖

Naruto movies watch order

Here’s a recommended watch order for the Naruto movies:

Naruto Movies (Original Series)

  1. Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow (2004)
  2. Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel (2005)
  3. Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom (2006)

Naruto Shippuden Movies

  1. Naruto Shippuden the Movie (2007)
  2. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Bonds (2008)
  3. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire (2009)
  4. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Lost Tower (2010)
  5. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Blood Prison (2011)
  6. Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Last (2014)

Important Notes:

  • Timeline: The movies are generally not canon to the main storyline, but they can be enjoyed as standalone adventures.
  • Viewing Order: You can watch the movies after finishing the respective series (Naruto and Naruto Shippuden) or intersperse them between episodes for a different experience.
  • Boruto: After completing Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, you can move on to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which has its own set of movies.

Recommendation:

If you're a fan of the series, watching the movies after completing the respective series is a great way to enjoy additional content and character development. However, if you're short on time, you can skip the movies without missing key plot points in the main series.
