KAYOU Naruto Jin Series 3 Serial-Numbered Cards Guide

If you have pulled a KAYOU Naruto card with a tiny stamped number on it — something like 07/99 or 003/220 — you have found a serial-numbered card. In the Jin Chapter Series 3 line, those numbered cards are the real chase: individually stamped, capped at a fixed print run, and pulled straight out of the regular booster packs.

This is a set-specific guide to exactly which Jin Chapter Series 3 cards carry a serial number, what each tier is, how it is numbered, and how the five tiers rank against each other. For the general idea of how serial numbering works across every KAYOU Naruto set, start with our serialised cards guide; for the full Series 3 box rundown, see the Jin Chapter Series 3 overview. This page zooms in on the numbered cards alone.

One note up front: Series 3 is the North American (NA) edition, and KAYOU publishes no official pull rates. Every figure below is reported from North American distributor and retailer listings, not from the manufacturer — treat the numbers as product specs, not as your odds out of a box.

Quick answer: which Jin Series 3 cards are serial-numbered?

Five rarity tiers in Jin Chapter Series 3 are serial-numbered, each capped at a different print run:

• AR (Ideal Dreams) — numbered to /777
• BP (Battle Print) — numbered to /999
• SE (Special Edition) — numbered to /220
• ASP — numbered to /99
• Diamond ASP (◇ASP) — numbered to /9

All five are pulled from the 12 standard booster packs in a sealed box. They are not in the separate US-exclusive promo pack — more on that distinction below. The lower the number, the scarcer the card: a Diamond ASP numbered to /9 is the hardest pull in the set.

What a serial number actually means

A serial number is a print-run cap stamped directly on the card, usually written as a fraction like 25/220. The second number is the total ever printed of that card; the first is which copy you hold. A card stamped 001/220 is the first of only 220 in existence.

That fixed ceiling is what separates a serial-numbered card from an ordinary rare. Most rarities have an unknown, open-ended print run; a numbered card has a hard cap you can see with your own eyes. It is the closest thing KAYOU gives you to a guaranteed scarcity figure. For where these tiers sit in the wider rarity ladder, see the KAYOU Naruto rarity guide.

The five serial-numbered tiers in Series 3

Here is the full numbered line-up. The design counts are reported from early distributor reveals — useful as a guide, but not an official KAYOU set list.

AR (Ideal Dreams) — numbered to /777

AR cards in the English Jin Chapter line are styled after ukiyo-e — the classic Japanese woodblock-print look, all bold lines and flat colour. In Series 3 they are numbered to 777, the most generous of the serialised runs, which makes them the most attainable numbered cards in the set. A reported seven designs carry the AR treatment.

BP (Battle Print) — numbered to /999

BP cards lean into a dramatic ink-painting style — heavy brushwork and high contrast built around the arc's big confrontations. At /999 they have the largest print run of any numbered tier in Series 3, so while they are genuine chase cards, they turn up more often than the scarcer tiers. Around six designs are reported.

SE (Special Edition) — numbered to /220

SE is the tier most collectors point to as the Series 3 flagship. The cards feature characters in traditional dress with a premium finish, and the /220 cap is a nod to episode 220 — the final episode of the original Naruto series. Just four SE designs are reported, and the low print run paired with marquee characters makes these among the most sought-after pulls in the set.

ASP — numbered to /99

ASP cards reimagine the arc's signature jutsu and techniques in a fully upgraded art style, numbered to just 99. With a reported eight designs and a double-digit print run, ASP sits firmly in the top bracket of Series 3 chase cards. No source confirms what "ASP" stands for, so we leave it as the printed code rather than guess.

Diamond ASP (◇ASP) — numbered to /9

The Diamond ASP is the apex of the set. Each is a parallel, individually designed version of an ASP card — and each design is numbered to only 9 copies. With a reported eight designs at /9 apiece, these are the scarcest cards in Series 3 by a wide margin, and the hardest numbered pull you can hope for from a box.

How to find the serial number on your card

The serial stamp sits on the card face, typically in a lower corner, printed over or beside the foil treatment as a small fraction like 07/99. On the heavily textured top tiers it can be easy to miss against the holographic background — tilt the card under good light and look along the bottom edge. If a card you have identified as one of these five tiers shows no number at all, double-check what you actually have: in Series 3, the AR, BP, SE, ASP and Diamond ASP tiers are numbered as standard.

Serial-numbered cards vs the NA promo pack

Series 3 boxes include one sealed promo pack on top of the 12 regular packs — a North American exclusive the earlier SEA-edition boxes never had. That promo pack holds a single promotional card, reported as either Naruto (PR-009) or Sasuke (PR-010), one at random per box.

It is easy to assume the promo card is the big serialised chase, but it is a separate thing. The promo card is a bonus insert; no print-run cap has been confirmed for it, and it is not part of the five numbered tiers. The serial-numbered chase cards — AR, BP, SE, ASP and Diamond ASP — come out of the 12 standard packs, not the promo pack.

Which Series 3 numbered card is the rarest?

By the numbers stamped on the cards, the scarcity order is clear. From scarcest to most common:

1. Diamond ASP (◇ASP) — /9
2. ASP — /99
3. SE (Special Edition) — /220
4. AR (Ideal Dreams) — /777
5. BP (Battle Print) — /999

A Diamond ASP numbered to 9 is, copy for copy, the rarest card you can pull. Worth knowing: distributor tier ladders often headline SE as the top "flagship" tier on prestige and demand rather than raw print run — so do not be surprised to see SE talked about as the marquee chase even though the Diamond ASP is numbered far lower.

Rarity and value are also not the same thing. Character demand moves prices as much as the print run: a numbered card of a fan-favourite from the Sasuke Retrieval Arc can outsell a scarcer card of a minor character. We keep dollar figures off this page because the secondary market moves fast — for the cards collectors chase hardest across every set, see rarest KAYOU Naruto cards.

Protecting a numbered pull

A serialised card is only worth its scarcity if it stays in top condition. The moment you pull one, sleeve it in a penny sleeve and move it into a top-loader or one-touch holder — the numbered tiers use heavy foil and textured finishes that scratch and chip easily. Keep it out of direct light and away from humidity, and handle it as little as possible if you are thinking about grading. Our card condition guide covers storage and grading prep in full.

Where to buy Jin Chapter Series 3 in Australia

CottierTCG stocks the NA edition of Jin Chapter Series 3 for Australian collectors — both the full Series 3 booster box, which gives you twelve shots at the numbered tiers plus the promo pack, and single booster packs if you would rather chase a few packs at a time. Live availability and current pricing are on those product pages.

The bottom line

Jin Chapter Series 3 puts five serial-numbered tiers into its regular packs — AR /777, BP /999, SE /220, ASP /99 and Diamond ASP /9 — with the Diamond ASP standing as the scarcest pull at just nine copies per design. The promo pack is a separate NA-exclusive bonus, not one of the numbered chases. Pull rates are never officially published, so chase for the love of the cards first and treat the print runs as a scarcity guide, not a guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many serial-numbered cards are in a Jin Chapter Series 3 box?

There is no fixed number — serial-numbered cards are chase pulls, not guaranteed box hits. A box gives you twelve standard packs to chase the five numbered tiers (AR, BP, SE, ASP and Diamond ASP), but KAYOU publishes no pull rates, so any given box may hold several numbered cards or none.

Are the promo pack cards (PR-009 / PR-010) serial-numbered?

No confirmed print-run cap has been reported for the promo cards. The promo pack is a separate, North-America-exclusive bonus holding one promotional card — Naruto (PR-009) or Sasuke (PR-010) — and it sits apart from the five numbered chase tiers found in the standard packs.

What is the rarest serial-numbered card in Jin Chapter Series 3?

By print run, the Diamond ASP (◇ASP) is the rarest — each design is numbered to just 9 copies. ASP at /99 and SE at /220 come next. SE is often called the flagship tier on demand, but the Diamond ASP is numbered far lower.

Do Series 1 and Series 2 have the same serial-numbered cards?

No. The Australian-market Series 1 and Series 2 boxes are the SEA edition and do not carry the NA-exclusive serialised tiers or the promo pack. Series 3 is the NA edition, and the numbered tiers covered here are specific to it. See the Series 3 overview for the full edition breakdown.

Where is the serial number printed on the card?

On the card face, usually in a lower corner as a small fraction such as 07/99 — the first number is your copy, the second is the total print run. On the heavily foiled top tiers it can be hard to spot, so tilt the card under good light to find it.
