'Naruto Shippuden' News: Final End Theme Preview; 'Boruto: The Next Generation' Release Date Revealed

As "Naruto Shippuden" celebrates its 10th anniversay this week with a new story arc featuring the long-awaited wedding of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, the team behind the series has announced what the final end theme of the anime will be. The four-person rock band, Swimy uploaded a preview of the song on Twitter.

The latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump confirms that the final end theme for "Naruto Shippuden" will be introduced on Feb. 22. The song by Swimy is titled "Zetsu Zetsu."

"Naruto Shippuden" debuted in Feb. 15, 2007, and airs its 494th episode today. However, Naruto will not be off-air for long. The anime will have an upcoming spin-off series titled "Boruto: The Next Generation" which is set to debut on April shortly after the end of "Naruto Shippuden."

"Boruto: The Next Generation" centers on the story of Boruto Uzumaki and his friends as they gradually learn about the reputation of their parents. The show will feature lead characters such as Sarada Uchiha and hopes to be better than its two predecessors, per Comicbook.com.

Weekly Shonen Jump also recently spoke with the creator of the series. Masashi Kishimoto admits that it was hard to transition from the darker tone of "Naruto Shippuden" to the lighter aesthetic of "Boruto: The Next Generation." Kishimoto adds that he wants the upcoming show to be more happy and fun so that a younger audience may also enjoy the series.

It will also be interesting to see how the drama involving the characters in "Boruto: The Next Generation" will develop as Kishimoto noted that a lot of characters have not really appeared in the previous series yet. The series is set to premiere in April, however, no specific date has been given.
