Naruto DVD: 4th Stage - Vol. 12

**Sharky** · 10-09-2006

Studio Pierrot has revealed the cover art for the next Japanese Naruto DVD (shown below). Yet another very odd cover choice, seeing as Yondaime plays no part in any of the episodes on this DVD. I already posted information about the DVD last month, but I'll go over it again just incase. [img]/photos/n2_news/images/74593/original.aspx[/img]
Naruto: 4th Stage, Volume 12 -- Like usual, the volume will contain 4 episodes, no subtitles, and cost about ?3900 ($35 USD). This particular volume releases 12/06/2006, and will cover episodes 176-179 of the original Japanese Naruto anime series. First edition copies will include special Naruto playing cards -- 12 of spades, 12 of clubs, 12 of hearts, and 12 of diamonds. NOTE: The first 3 Japanese characters on the cover read: "NA RU TO". The second three (at the end) read: "Volume #12"
Running Time: 93 Minutes | Encoding: Region 2 / NTSC (Japan)
Aspect Ratio(s): 4:3 Standard | Layers: Single Sided / Dual Layered

DVD Lingo -- In Japan a new episode of the Naruto anime series airs every week (every week, always - no such thing as season breaks). Which means every month, 4 new episodes of Naruto now exist. So, every month a new DVD will release contain 4 episodes (not the newest 4, for several reasons the DVDs are a little behind the actual TV airings). That make any sense? 4 new episodes a month, 1 DVD (containing 4 episodes) a month.
OK, so "Stage", what in the world does that mean? "Stage" represents the year that the DVDs are being released. In other words, "4th Stage, Volume 12", is year 4, month 12. Numbering DVDs this way, prevents incredibly high volume numbers and is not an uncommom thing to see in Japanese DVDs.

Well Im not that far into the series so I could be wrong but is that the Fourth Hokage?

You would be correct, that is indeed the 4th Hokage.
