In 2024-2025, a new trend has emerged: "AI Upscaled Naruto Artbook Scans." Users take the old 720px scans and run them through Waifu2x or Topaz Gigapixel to create 4K versions.

Pros: You can see the ink bleeding on the paper. Cons: AI often misinterprets Kishimoto’s scratchy texture as "noise" and smooths it out, making Sasuke look like a plastic doll.
