Ive noticed that My Hero Academia is going down a similar path that Naruto went down in Shippuden. Originally all of the characters were around the same level, and could all contribute. But it pretty much just became a Naruto and Sasuke show because of how high the power leveling got up to.

Isnt MHA going to follow this same path? Where Bakugo and Deku are just so far above everyone else that the rest of the cast just becomes useless? Even now in Season 5, its pretty much only the big 3 that do anything

My hero academia has always been the most boring mid shounen ever. It was always below Naruto.

Ok but it wasn't a competition.. no one mentioned which one is "better" so bringing it up is petty

Yep unfortunately. I think Deku and Shigaraki at this point are the Naruto and Sasuke of the series. The power level is pretty unreal at this point especially with Shigaraki at the current point in the manga

I mean it was established early on that all for one and one for all are two of the strongest quirks in existence. So I think it's kind of inevitable. I will say the supporting cast doesn't become irrelevant and they keep doing what they do best... Supporting.

Like a lot of shounen. They can be pretty inspired by predecessors. MHA certainly uses naruto as a foil but isn't as prominent like something like Black Clover which is more obvious out it.

Not really a bad thing, from what I've seen They are using naruto's foil correctly imo such as character contrasts and ideals. Those are essential to construct society and witnessing different ordeals. Range from deku to bakugo, deku to todoroki, all might to endeavor; all might to killer stain, deku to shigaraki etc.

Picking up with the shigaraki contrast dynamic, especially in season 1,2 and 5. They've certainly done it well with fleshing out shigaraki with development just as they did with deku. Because that's their plot roles. Being inheritors of all might and all for one.

We get to see the heroes journey but we also get to see the villain's. Which is pretty reminiscent with sasuke's development in naruto and what his motivations/worldviews are being an antagonist.

Extra note: there's more to the foil but it would be too long to write about. Mentioning black clover, I don't think they've utilised Naruto's foil as well as MHA has at all. Despite being my favourite show currently, using naruto as a foil is more so a crutch than a good plot telling device.

Bruh, the first impression i got when i started BNHA was the, the frigging plot idea is same as naruto. A kid who's goal is to become his role model hero. His friend who's a tsundere to him. that's basically character description of naruto and sasuke. i dont know if there are other animes with similar character descriptions. But i did find similarities with main characters of bnha with naruto's

Naruto is the most popular and most successful anime of all time, its bound to have people trying to copy it in hopes to find similiar success. I mean JJK is a pretty much far worse version of Naruto and people still like it

I don't know how you can say sukuna is the same as kurama. Other than both itadori and naruto being vessels I don't see anything more similar. In naruto till shipuddin every time he faced a strong opponent he was just went into a rage and everything was alright. But switching with sukuna has consequences so he swap only once and then he willingly won't switch with sukuna. For me sukuna is badass among many other anime villains.for me he is a much better than kurama ever was

i honestly feel like jjk is a little better ya I know both are similar in some ways but jjk goes down a much darker part than naruto. The villains in the show are actually villains and not good people turned bad like in naruto where every villain was a good person turned bad and this isn't the problem with only naruto many of the villains in anime are the same

the filler point is obvious so I wanted to add something else. I wanted to say that jjk is a little better not just because it doesn't contain filler episodes there are other reasons why I enjoyed it and it's a very new anime and has done a great job in hooking me to it.

probably because the main cast are not kids at the beginning and because it's a lot more darker

I wasn't saying about sukuna.I was just saying about the nine tailed fox mentioned by mahito in ep 09 https://images.app.goo.gl/hTAZdVoy4zVXxm5C6 .Obviously there is no relation between sukuna and kurama.

not really sure how u can make the claim that gintama is even in the same level as those others when virtually nobody actually watches that ousdie of japan. AoT is reaching the popularity of peak naruto but its bad season 4 and poor manga ending will prob kill the hype

well yeah I was kind of unsure of whether I should include Gintama or not. But I decided to do it anyway cuz it's up there with high ratings and popularity lol. AoT season 4 is criticised by idiots, everything except the CGI was good and the character design is based off how they're in the manga, not saying that's better in any way, WIT had a much better character design. I watched the whole thing within a week and I enjoyed season 4 just as much as any other season. Also it's unsure whether the anime would have the same ending as the manga or would have an anime original ending but either way there'd still be haters no matter how good the ending is. AoT is totally up there, probably better than Naruto overall, but I haven't watched Naruto myself but the overall story looks pretty generic.
Btw I'll just include a bunch more here
HxH, Death Note, Demon Slayer (generic imo but it's good and popular) and One Punch Man

AoT's story most certainly has flaws in it. I think you are letting your opinions on anime impact what u believe is the most popular or successful anime.

Nearly every person ages like 20-25 knows what Naruto is. It I'd say is 50% of the reason anime is where it is today in the United States. Even if you dont like it, it cant be denied that its impact has been colossal.

ok list a bunch of easily noticeable flaws. Atleast it has a well directed plot and great twists, its much higher rated than Naruto for a reason, it's cuz Naruto is generic. I could still admit Naruto probably has cooler fights and probably quite decent character development because with 700 episodes I'm expecting atleast that. Imo the good anime does what it intends to do perfectly, but the best anime go further and beyond your expectations. I'm rather sure that most attack on Titan viewers wouldn't have expected it to be where it is now but pretty sure Naruto is quite predictable because it relies much more on characters than the plot

I can't really agree my man. Authors and animators need reviews and criticism to create the right content so I think it's all right to criticise an anime or any content at that.

The supporting cast was relevant in the war, then we had an arc focused on deku as the main character and now we had the shiga x stars showdown. It's early to say the side characters became useless since they been useful just 2 arcs ago(and these 2 arcs were smaller arcs and 1 one them didn't feature any of the main heros).


edit: Also wtf you are saying everyone came after copied Naruto? Every modern shounen copied dragon ball or jojo, including Naruto.

It is not quite similar to Naruto but as every shounen, it is also following the story of zero to hero. So it maybe to similar to Naruto in some aspects but still good to watch
