Naruto Mythos Card Recognition – Now in Our TCG AI

Our TCG Recognition system keeps expanding the range of trading card games it covers. One of the newest additions is the Naruto Mythos Trading Card Game (Naruto Mythos TCG) – a high-end ninja card game that’s as playable as it is collectible. It launched across Europe in March 2026.

Naruto Mythos TCG cards are now identified by Ximilar end to end. The response returns their names, sets, numbers, rarity, and the game-specific features, all instantly, straight from a photo or scan. Test it directly in your browser via the Ximilar App and demo – no download required – or integrate it through our REST API.

What is the AI Card Identifier?

Ximilar’s Collectibles Recognition service uses AI to analyze photos of collectible items and identify them one by one.

For trading cards, it detects the card in the image. Then, it performs detailed identification, returning structured data such as card name, set, number, determine how rare it is, and provide links to marketplaces. The service can also extract information from graded slab labels and retrieve price statistics.

It is used in collector apps, marketplaces, and card scanners via a simple REST API.

What the TCG Identifier Returns for Each Card

For each recognized card, the system provides:

Short and full name, number within the set (name, full_name, card_number)
Set, its code, and year of release (set, set_code, year)
Rarity, and for games like Naruto Mythos, its variant (rarity)
Foil/holo, side, and other physical features (foil_holo, side)
Pricing data and links to marketplaces (links)
Slab labels are recognized separately

For a full overview of supported fields, see the Collectibles Taxonomy as well as the comprehensive API documentation.

This is how Ximilar's TCG ID analyzed an image containing a Pokémon card and a Magic: The Gathering card, each inside its own slab label. Both cards were recognized individually, with pricing data provided for their ungraded and graded variants. — This is how Ximilar’s TCG ID analyzed an image containing a Pokémon card and a Magic: The Gathering card, each inside its own slab label.

Naruto Mythos TCG

A New Ninja TCG, Built for Collectors

Naruto Mythos TCG is one of the most talked-about new entries in the trading card space. Developed by the Italian studio Cicaboom and built on Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto universe, it had its public debut at Spiel Essen 2025. A coordinated global launch followed on March 13, 2026, across Europe, the UK, Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa region.

Unlike earlier attempts at a Naruto card game, Mythos arrives with a modern ruleset and a heavy emphasis on premium production. In play, each duelist takes the role of a Kage, sending ninja on missions across a short battle decided by Mission Points, with Chakra as the core resource. It’s accessible to pick up, yet has the strategic depth to keep competitive players engaged. The Organized Play program, with its first official tournaments running from late June 2026, is growing a community around it fast.

Konoha Shidō Set: Rarities and the Legendary Gold Card

The first expansion, Konoha Shidō (木ノ葉始動), lets collectors discover the classic era of the Hidden Leaf Village and the wider world of Naruto: Team 7, the other Konoha genin teams, the Sand Village trio, the Sound Village, and iconic characters such as Tsunade and Orochimaru.

The core set runs to roughly 150 cards, and past 200 once variants are counted. It applies a deep rarity ladder built for both players and high-end collectors: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Rare Art, Secret, Mythos, and the variant “V” tiers, topped by a single Legendary.

The crown jewel is the Legendary Gold card – a Team 7 piece finished in genuine 22-karat gold foil with micro-engravings and unique numbering, limited to a very small worldwide print run. Cards like these are exactly why precise identification matters: with multiple rarity variants of the same character, correct recognition is what keeps collections, listings, and price data accurate.

With Shinobi Shiren already announced for later in 2026, and a Naruto Shippuden expansion on the roadmap, the catalog is only going to grow. That’s why we’ve added Naruto Mythos to our recognition system early.

Naruto Mythos Card Recognition in Ximilar

Our system identifies Naruto Mythos cards via the /collectibles/v2/tcg_id endpoint. The game is detected automatically, with no extra parameter needed. Along with the standard identification fields, the response includes details specific to this TCG, such as the village/group, card type, and gameplay stats. It returns the following fields:

Field	Description
`name`	Card name (character, mission, or jutsu)
`full_name`	Full canonical card name
`set`	Set name (e.g. Konoha Shidō)
`set_code`	Set code (e.g. `KS`)
`card_number`	Card number within the set
`rarity`	Rarity tier (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Rare Art, Secret, Mythos, Legendary, and V variants)
`out_of`	How many cards were released in the set
`title`	A title of the cards, usually below the name
`year`	Year of release

That’s enough structured detail to power catalog pages, deck builders, and marketplace listings directly. Collectors can filter, browse, and price their own collection down to the exact card.

Ximilar's card identification system detects cards, so you can upload a photo with multiple cards at once. It then analyzes each card individually and returns a detailed identification. — Ximilar’s card identification system detects cards, so you can upload a photo with multiple cards at once.

Test via Ximilar App

In this case, I tested by uploading an image of the Naruto Uzumaki ‘Believe it!’ card (#108/130, Rare Art) into the TCG Identification test form in the Ximilar App. Rare Art cards carry extra foil detailing on top of the base artwork, which makes this a good stress test for identifying non-standard rarities correctly.

The system detected the card and returned its name, set, number, how rare it is, and game-specific fields.

Whenever you run a card through the Ximilar App, the corresponding cURL command and full API response appear directly below the results table.

Get Started: First Steps Guide

How to Test via API

You can test Naruto Mythos card identification using the /collectibles/v2/tcg_id endpoint. A full quickstart guide is available in the API documentation, and you can get your authentication token after signing up.

Here’s how you’d call the API to discover the same details yourself. Don’t forget to replace YOURAPITOKEN with your personal token and keep it private, since it authorizes all requests made under your account.

curl --location 'https://api.ximilar.com/collectibles/v2/tcg_id' \
--header 'Authorization: Token YOURAPITOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "records": [
        {
            "_url": "https://lirp.cdn-website.com/99e556bf/dms3rep/multi/opt/108_R_ART_Naruto_Shadow_Clone-640w.webp"
        }
    ]
}'

And here’s the selected part of the response with the key information:
