It is expected that Naruto - Shippûden, the sequel series to the first Naruto anime which ended with 220 episodes, will premiere on RTL II on April 23, 2009, airing Monday to Friday at 3:40 PM as part of the children's program "Pokito."

Initially, 52 episodes of the series, referred to by RTL II as "Season 5," will be broadcast.

How appropriate it is to air the series in a children's programming block and to what extent the episodes will be cut or censored remains to be seen. However, it is very likely that fans of the series should probably expect the worst.
