Although naruto has a lot of problems, I think one of its strongpoints was the development and the relationship with Naruto and Kurama. I was talking to someone and they said Itadori and Sukuna is better than any other demon trope in shounen, from the only 24 anime episodes. So i just wanted to see what others think. I understand theres a lot that I'm missing, but these are the ones that he brought up so these options are what im going with.

It's between naruto + kurama and itadori + sukuna for me. I might prefer the former since sukuna is kinda scary

I haven't watched Jujutsu Kaisen or fully seen Bleach. But I would say Naruto and Kurama hands down. There just wasn't much development in Asta and Liebe's relationship for me to call it the best demon and host team up.

I voted Itadori and Sukuna, but it just seemed better than the rest, not by much mind you.

I think Kaneki Ken and Kamishiro Rize are the best.

Naruto and Kurama kind of fall flat, Kurama is just kind of there to give Naruto a damage boost here and there and serve as his berserk button. Kurama showing up never really wowed me, he was just kind of there. He even stops being that later on, you barely hear from Kurama for a very long period of time, and then suddenly "oh I'm Kurama, I actually kinda like Naruto now, and we aren't gonna build up to that". It was too damn convenient.

Sukuna on the other hand felt different, him showing up was an event, and he has shit to contribute to the series. While Kurama just felt like a part of Naruto's backstory and powers, Sukuna feels like an actual character of his own with how the other characters will actually form their plans and actions based on the fact that Sukuna is back, Sukuna doesn't feel like Itadori's get out of jail free card. Sukuna and Mahito evilly laughing at a very emotional Itadori during episode 12 (I think it was 12) was a really good scene.

Ichigo and Zangetsu were alright I guess, there wasn't really much there. I haven't seen Black Clover so I can't comment on that one.

Best example of this trope has to be Denji and Pochita.

from that poll no doubt Naruto and Kurama (your vote) since in the end they become best friends with the power of Talk no Jutsu

In the case of Bleach, Black clover and Naruto the inner "demon" helps the protagonist more than anything. Liebe and Kurama are also explicitly stated to be good as well meanwhile Sukuna is an actual demon who ruined Itadori's life

it can count as one, however, pochita is not there since that is the power and not the inner demon of denji, it is not like sukuna because it sometimes interacts with itadori, which pochita does not. Unless later in the manga I do, I'm just going through chapter 25 and it's been like that.

I am against Ichigo-Zangetsu because of the later chapters of the manga, so I'll go with Naruto, it was decent talk no jutsu, I can accept that

From the choices given, if asked which series did the trope best, Id say I like the JJK one the best (I'm a manga reader) mostly because their relationship is shit lol and the most interesting to me. Sukuna has his own agenda and doesn't give af about Yuji, Yujis growth is separate from sukuna's "growth" yet his life is still greatly affected by the fact that he has Sukuna in him.

Now if you're talking about the best relationship... That'll likely be kurama and Naruto. Mostly cuz their relationship is actually pretty functional and they're friends by the end of the series I think.

If I had to choose the best relationship, it would probably be Naruto and Kurama, since they are pretty much friends (by the end) and all. But because Jujutsu Kaisen is my favorite anime & manga EVER (and I've only watch Naruto clips and heard it from my sister), I'll choose Yuji and Sukuna. I honestly think that JJK is a really interesting anime & manga because they progress quickly enough for you not to get bored, but still covers a lot of stuff. The character development is also really good, and I really really like it when Sukuna comes out and start destroying stuff, and then later Yuji comes out and either dies (the Finger Bearer curse), or is completely stricken with grief (SPOILER! Shibuya arc). I don't know why (something must be wrong with me), but I really like it when the main character is being controlled by something else for a period of time and sometimes gets traumatized. I also like evil main characters. So since Itadori Yuji has BOTH of these traits (I mean, he shares a body with Sukuna, gets traumatized when Sukuna wiped the city off the map, and later on in the manga, is also not as hesitant to kill things), I REALLY REALLY LOOOOOVE Jujutsu Kaisen.

Pochita does interact with Denji, even early on in the first chapter when he resurrects Denji he talks to him about achieving his dreams

Denji and Pochita because it's just sooo cute and I love it. Nothing else can get close.

Has a 8.60 mean score
