History[]
Inspired by the works of TeamFourStar with Dragon Ball Z Kai: Abridged, Naruto: Full Arc Abridged takes the concept to the next level by succinctly abridging an entire story arc (with some notable exceptions) into a single release.
Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged has been plagued with delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, cast changes, episodic delays, YouTube shenanigans, and more, however Journeyman Abridged are looking forward to releasing this project in the future.
On July 16th 2024, as part of celebrating hitting the milestone of 700 YouTube subscribers, Journeyman Abridged announced the release dates for all episodes of Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged releasing in 2025.
Production[]
Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged began writing in 2020, and was originally announced to be released on October 10th 2022. After multiple setbacks and delays, the first episode will release in January 2025 - five years after the original premiere of Naruto: Full Arc Abridged.
Journeyman Abridged first announced Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged on May 27th 2020 as part of the inaugural Journeyman Abridged News Update, and the first casting announcements were made on May 27th 2021, including the announcement that all members of Team 7 would return to reprise their roles.
The series is primarily written by cosmovsgoku, with notes and adjustments contributed by impolitebi and TwstdFlaems. Scripts are written to the manga. No announcement has been made about Journeyman Abridged covering any of the Naruto Shippuden movies.

Trivia[]
- Naruto Shippuden: Full Arc Abridged stands as an anomaly amongst Journeyman Abridged projects in that it's the first sequel series, rather than a continuation of the same series in the same way that the Digimon Adventure 02 portions of Digimon Adventure: Full Arc Abridged have been framed as.
- Christopher Dowling was originally announced as the voice of Yamato / Tenzo, however it was announced on May 27th 2022 that the role had been recast.
- In addition, it was announced that MPC had been cast as Rock Lee, TwoPointBeau had been cast as Neji Hyuuga, Omega had been cast as Hashirama Senju, Tass Tokatlidis had been cast as Tobirama Senju, and TwstdFlaems would be continuing on, and reprising his role, as Hiruzen Sarutobi from Itachi True Story: Light and Darkness Abridged.
- Christopher Dowling revealed in a February 2023 Twitch stream that he had parted ways with Journeyman Abridged over creative differences. Journeyman Abridged have never formally commented on his departure outside of the original announcement.
- Journeyman Abridged have been extremely vocal that they have no intention of abridging Boruto: Naruto Next Generations or Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and their lack of interest in abridging this content has often lead to comedic jabs directed at that part of the franchise, and/or their disinterest in abridging it.
