    Naruto built the entire stadium JJK is now performing in. Respect your elders. No Naruto, no modern shonen boom.

    Naruto made me cry, laugh, and grow up across hundreds of episodes. JJK is a great sprint, Naruto is a marathon with a soul.

    King of legacy: Naruto. King of craft right now: JJK. There. War over. (It is not over.)

    JJK kills off characters with actual consequences. Naruto brought back half its cast and undid every death. That's the gap in writing maturity.

    Gojo vs anyone in Naruto is over before it starts. The power scaling isn't even close, sorry.

  • Riley1mo ago

    Sukuna is a better written villain than 90% of the Naruto roster and that's the part Naruto fans can't argue with.

    Naruto's filler vs JJK's hiatus. Pick your poison, neither is innocent.

  • Leo 211mo ago

    Naruto's emotional core (loneliness, acceptance, never giving up) is timeless. JJK is cool but emotionally it keeps you at arm's length.

  • Casey1mo ago

    The Naruto ending and the JJK ending are both controversial, so maybe neither gets to wear the crown clean.

  • Jamie1mo ago

    JJK fights are choreography. Naruto fights are storytelling. Different things and people keep comparing apples to kunai.

  • Diego1mo ago

    Gen Z picked JJK, millennials picked Naruto, and this thread is just an age survey in disguise.

  • Hana1mo ago

    Gege's pacing in the Shibuya arc is the best sustained tension shonen has ever done. Naruto would've stretched that into two filler seasons.
