KAYOU Naruto Sets: Jin Chapter, Earth Scroll and Heaven Scroll

By CardSpicy Founder · October 4, 2026

Quick answer

CardSpicy tracks seven KAYOU Naruto releases, and they divide into three naming families. Jin Chapter is the main line, issued in English editions for South-East Asia and then for North America; Earth Scroll is the larger-box line; Heaven Scroll and the Ninja Age special pack fill out the picture. Card-type counts run from 131 to 168 in the numbered sets, and the pack configuration differs by family: Jin Chapter is 10 packs of 5 cards, Earth Scroll is 30 packs of 5 or 4, Heaven Scroll is 24 packs of 8.

The Naruto line is unusual in that the same set can exist in two English editions. Knowing which one you are looking at changes the card numbers, not just the packaging.

The three naming families

Jin Chapter is the flagship. It is the line most English-speaking collectors meet first, and it is the one that has been issued twice in English — once for the South-East Asia market and later for North America. Earth Scroll sits beside it with a larger box and a different tier mix. Heaven Scroll is a North American release built around 24 packs of eight cards, the densest pack in the group. Ninja Age is a special pack, and notably the one we track that is still a Simplified Chinese product.

The releases we can verify

Three rows say not published rather than carrying a number, and that is deliberate. KAYOU has not stated a card-type count for those releases in a form we can point you to, and a guessed number is worse than an honest blank. If the count is printed on your sealed box, we will take the correction.

What changed between Series 1 and Series 2

Series 2 is ten card types larger than Series 1, and the difference is mostly one tier: AR, the Art Rare, arrives with Series 2 and takes ten of the new slots. AR is a full-art battle scene on foiled stock, and it is the tier that gives the second series its identity.

The rest of the mix is close to a copy of Series 1 — the same base tiers and the same spread of UR, PU, MR, BP, SP and SE — with counts nudged by a card or two in a few places. If you are choosing between the two, the practical question is not which is larger but whether you want the AR tier at all.

Series 3 and what numbered printings mean

Jin Chapter Series 3 is the North American edition, and it is the release that leans hardest on numbered printings. Its top tiers are stated as runs rather than as abstract rarities: ASP numbered out of 99, SE out of 220, AR out of 777 and BP out of 999, alongside unnumbered MR, PU, HR, Diamond-UR and UR cards.

A printed number out of 99 is the clearest scarcity statement in the whole line, and it is worth reading the number rather than the code. Two cards can both be SE and still be printed in very different quantities, because the denominator changes from set to set and from wave to wave.

Earth Scroll and the Diamond-UR

Earth Scroll boxes are the ones that feel different on the shelf: 30 packs to a box rather than 10, and a card-type list running to 131 in Series 1 and 132 in Series 2. Series 2 also changes the pack itself, from five cards to four, so a box of Series 2 holds fewer cards than a box of Series 1 despite the larger list.

The tier to know in Earth Scroll is CR, the Crystal Rare — a tier-two exclusive high chase, and the tier where the hardest single-character cards in the line sit. Series 2 also introduces a Diamond-UR, a four-card tier that Series 1 does not carry.

Heaven Scroll and the Land of Waves four

Heaven Scroll Series 1 is a North American release built around 24 packs of eight cards. Its top tiers are SP and SE, and the four SE cards are the ones collectors name first: Sasuke, Naruto, Zabuza and Haku — the Land of Waves set.

If you have seen a Naruto card described as a Land of Waves card with no set name attached, Heaven Scroll Series 1 or Jin Chapter Series 1 is the likely origin, and both carry a version of that artwork.

Where Ninja Age fits

Ninja Age is a special pack rather than a numbered series, and it is the release in our list that is still Simplified Chinese. It is configured as 10 packs of five cards, and its tier list runs XR, QR, MR, SP, UR, PTR, SSR, SR and R — which is to say it carries tiers that do not appear in the numbered English sets at all.

That is why we index it separately rather than folding it into the Jin Chapter line. It is not a continuation; it is a different product with its own top tiers. XR, the Scroll Rare, and QR, the Chibi Rare, are both Ninja Age codes.

Telling the two English editions apart

The same Jin Chapter name appears in both a South-East Asia edition and a North American one, and the two are not interchangeable. Series 1 and Series 2 in our list are the SEA editions. Series 3 is the North American edition, and it is the one that moved to numbered printings for its top tiers.

When you are matching a card to a set, match on the code and the card number rather than on the set name alone. A Jin Chapter card carrying an ASP number comes from Series 3; a Jin Chapter card numbered inside a 158-type list comes from Series 1.

Frequently asked questions

How many KAYOU Naruto sets are there?

KAYOU has released more than the seven we track, and we say so rather than presenting our list as complete. The seven here are the ones we could verify card-type counts or tier lists for. The Naruto section index notes the same limit, and we add to it as we can confirm more.

What is the difference between Jin Chapter and Earth Scroll?

Mainly the box and the tier mix. Jin Chapter is ten packs of five cards. Earth Scroll is thirty packs, five cards each in Series 1 and four in Series 2, which makes it the larger opening. Earth Scroll also carries the CR tier, the Crystal Rare, which the Jin Chapter sets we track do not.

Are the English Naruto cards the same as the Chinese ones?

No. The line began as a Simplified Chinese print run and the English editions are separate products with their own card-type lists and, in places, their own tiers. AR arriving with Jin Chapter Series 2 is the clearest example. Card numbering is edition-specific too, so a Chinese card and an English card of the same character are not interchangeable in a set list.

What does ASP mean on a Naruto card?

It is one of the numbered tiers from Jin Chapter Series 3, the North American edition, printed out of 99. It sits alongside SE out of 220, AR out of 777 and BP out of 999 in the same release. Because the print run is so small, the ASP tier is the clearest scarcity statement in the line.

Why does your table say not published for some sets?

Because KAYOU has not stated a card-type count for those releases in a form we can point you to. We would rather leave a blank than print a number we cannot source. If you have the sealed product and the count is printed on it, we will take the correction.

The card-by-card detail is on the Naruto card list — every card we index, with the printed data and a note on each.
