It's been a week since the end of the season, so it's time to ask whether you think the Shibuya Incident arc is one of the best shonen arcs?
Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better lol.".

No bro. Not even close.

Chimera Ant Arc from HxH
Return to Shinganahina, Female Titan Arc from AOT
Pain Arc from Naruto

I would even argue all for one vs one for all from MHA is similar.

Good arc even though I am not the biggest fan of Jujutsu compared to other shonens. This arc actually made me like it.
As Long as the Sun, the moon, and the Earth exist, everything will be alright.

One of the best new gen you could say and even one of the best in the year but not the greatest shonen arc. It was good but not that good

Idk what's the cutoff for "one of the best"? Because I'd probably consider it top 20 but probably not top 10, and definitely not top 5 or anything. But it's a great arc for sure.

Kinda feel the same with regard to the story. Some fights were pretty cool, especially the Toji scenes for me, but overall the story didn't progress at all. They sealed Gojo and some characters died, but that's about it.
Nevertheless it was enjoyable.
If you win, you live, if you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win.

Nah its culling games and current arc are way better. I will say JJK prob has the best back to back to back arcs. IMO Chimera Ant arc is overrated and the themes are only deep if your a teenager

In my opinion, it is nowhere near to being one of the best shonen arcs. The arc held no substance just flashy fights. There is not necessarily anything wrong with that but it can´t hold a candle to any of the big shonen anime and their best arcs.

well, before the anime aired i kept hearing how shibuya arc was one of the best arcs and blah blah blah. So when this season started i was hype ngl, i watched the hidden inventory arc, which in my opinion was good, short but nevertheless good. Then shibuya starts and it does starts intriguing but the more eps i watched the more i got disappointed.

So to answer your question its definitely not one of the best arcs for me, i emphasize on the me part, if there are ppl who liked it, thats fine.

I cant have it as a best arc when it lacks character development for the majority of characters, specifically the main ones, it has minimal plot progression throughout the season, the plot progression happens until the end when the season finishes and curses began to spread and kill the ppl and the tone seems to change, nobaras flashback got to be one of the worst flashbacks ive ever seen, it seems so forced to make the viewer accept her death since she "has fulfilled her goals and its at peace with her life" which its funny since we didnt see anything of that throughout both seasons until she was near deaths door. If you say it was good because of the fights, then i can see your point, the fights were hype, i liked the animation, but that alone doesnt make an arc great to me, at the end it felt like a battle royale. I liked mahito as an antagonist and how he is the opposite of itadori but tbh ive seen that same theme on other titles and which i think did it better.

I still think it was good, but it is overrated for me

When I said "top 20 new gen Shonen", I meant to say arcs after, but I got you.

My Hero Academia, Fire Force, Promised Neverland, Frieren, Boruto, Summer Time Rendering, Dandadan, CSM, Dr. Stone, To Your Eternity, Vanitas, Ousama Ranking, Mob Psycho 100, Orient, Sakamoto Days. That's 15 for you.

And listen, we don't have to be aggressive to each other just because we disagree. It's just JJK. If you disagree, let's discuss! : )

@Arjun_Manoj Bruh, it's pointless to reason with Naruto fanboy once I saw his scores. He rated Boruto 10/10 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdd

Yes, better than most arcs in anime since the beginning of times. I have rewatched some favorite arcs of old anime and they don't hit like before anymore.

I'd say it did, because the main goal was to collect all the fingers and we got 11 of them in one go so that either shows that the fingers was just the setup and not that important or the purpose was to show that Gege wanted to do a more sad story compared to before, because it only said that the job was dangerous, but no one really got to die or show how it is that dangerous
