What’s Inside the Nintama Rantarō Movie Blu-ray & DVD Editions?
The Blu-ray and DVD editions of Nintama Rantarō: Dokutake Ninja-tai Saikyō no Gunshi are more than just a rewatch opportunity—they’re a treasure trove for fans. Both versions include the full 89-minute feature film with barrier-free Japanese audio and subtitles, ensuring accessibility for all viewers. But it’s the special bonuses that steal the spotlight.
Included in the limited editions are a brand-new drama CD featuring three original side stories, a gorgeous memorial booklet filled with production sketches and staff illustrations, and even a spin-off novel titled “Uketzugu Mono no Dan”. You’ll also find a manga short and a collectible outer case designed just for this release.
Release Date and Streaming Options
Can’t wait for the physical release? Good news—U-NEXT is now streaming the film via exclusive early access. As of April 10, you can either rent the film for 599 yen (3-day access) or purchase it for 2,500 yen with no viewing limit. The Blu-ray and DVD will officially hit shelves on June 25, 2025, giving collectors time to plan their purchase.
Limited Edition Bonuses You Can’t Miss
The real prize for hardcore fans is the Shochiku DVD Club Limited Edition Blu-ray. This version includes everything listed above, plus a full 589-page storyboard collection that provides a rare look into the movie’s creation process. That’s not all—bonus footage features behind-the-scenes content with Naniwa Danshi members Ryusei Onishi and Joichiro Fujiwara, including their voice acting session and an anime studio tour.
You’ll also get footage from the stage greeting held in December, a collection of trailers and promotional videos, and a special animated music video for the series’ iconic theme song, “Yūki 100%.” Each of these bonuses is carefully curated to deepen your appreciation of the film.
Which Version Should You Buy?
It all depends on what kind of fan you are. If you’re a casual viewer, the standard DVD offers great value and includes the main feature and some basic promotional extras. However, collectors and long-time fans will find the deluxe editions irresistible—especially the Shochiku exclusive version with the thick storyboard book and original drama content.
Whether you’re after nostalgia, exclusive content, or a complete collector’s experience, there’s a version for you. Just be aware that some bonuses are only available through specific retailers, so check the official website before purchasing.
