Naruto Opens Official Youtube Channel, Surpasses Bleach
The Naruto/Boruto official channel has only been out for 4 weeks and has already doubled Bleach’s viewcount
On March 2, 2026, the Naruto franchise would launch its official Youtube Channel, beginning with a trailer, showing all the crucial moments of the Naruto anime, from start to finish by Shippuden.
And it was a massive success!
The Bleach Youtube channel had been around a bit longer, first released on in time for the first teaser of the Thousand Year Blood War Final Cour on Jump Festa 2026.
Although it had a 4-month headstart and over 125,000 subscribers, the Naruto Channel had already reached 132,000 subscribers within only the span of 4 weeks.
Furthermore, while only having 5 videos and 7 shorts, each video had at least 8 million views, including the most recent “Ninja Academy” episode, teaching viewers about the Sharingan.
The video views totalled nearly 43 million views in a span of 4 weeks and the shorts have over 50 million views total.
Meanwhile the Bleach channel has only gained less than 20 million views in total across its 4 months and 129 total videos.
You can find the official Youtube channel here.
