About the Secretlab Naruto Shippuden Collection
Inspired by the Greatest Ninja himself, the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Naruto Edition is anchored by the Eight Sign Sealing Formula on the back of the chair, which sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto, an homage to his identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Magatamas on the chair’s side wings represent Naruto in Nine-Tails Mode where he draws on the beast’s power, making him the strongest human to ever live. The emblematic headband worn by all shinobi to pledge loyalty to their village is also embedded into the chair, giving fans a special piece of the shinobi identity.
The same forehead protector is featured on the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Akatsuki Edition but with a crossed-out logo, a nod to the Akatsuki custom of crossing out the symbol on their headbands to represent the members’ severed ties with their former villages. The iconic red Akatsuki symbol, a grim reminder of the rain of blood amidst wars that gave rise to the rogue organization, is embroidered on the front and back of the chair, as well as on the side wings in a quilted pattern.
