Black clover and demon slayer are better anime wise. I haven’t started the manga but plan to. So I can’t really speak for the manga, but it’s not the best new gen.

It is alongside CSM and DS

Edit: Why the hell are some people saying AoT and Vinland Saga ? Both of them aren't new gen. AoT manga started in 2009 and Vinland started in 2005. Also, Vinland is a seinen series.

if you taken about anime its black clover but if all of jjk is animated it's probably the best new gen and could be there with the shounen anime of all time

OP ask for shounen, Vinland saga is not shounen and it doesn’t matter if it has some similarities to any other shounen but that’s just in season 1 rest of the story is so different.

Ain't that the truth, the story was just your proper shounen but the art and animation done by ufotable elevates it to such heights. Adding to the fact as to how the familial aspects of DS attracted a vast majority of the Japanese population, the show would definitely dominate the shounen market for a long time.

In my opinion though, aot is the best shounen rn. Its story is amazing, it's controversial, and it has been a worldwide phenomenon

I would have agreed with the AOT take before but definitely not now. It’s gotten a lot worse since season 3 and it doesn’t seem to be getting better anytime soon. Regardless to say I’m really happy with how much these modern shounen shows have shaken things up a bit. It’s a really nice thing to see all around since so many shounen shows are straight up just bad or cannot compete with it’s previous successors. Imo shounen is very similar to isekai, it has the most trash animes in its genre, ofc nowhere near isekai though, but second for sure.

As much as i wanna give it to black clover, i feel like the mid animation for like the first 60 or so episodes holds it back for me compared to JJK and DS. Plot wise it's my favorite anime of the three but there were some points animation wise that really made me cringe

maybe?? the first season sucked though, layed out so much like the beginnings of Naruto, which didn't keep me interested for long. I haven't read the manga, but I'm excited to see the rest of JJK animated

man you just wait for season 2,it is going to be 10x better than the 1st season.
I too thought that season 1 was ok and I didn't understand why people hype for it so much but after reading the manga , the hype is really worth it bro.

But is AOT a new gen? because it is almost going to be a decade since aot s1 aired right?
Although I agree with you , it is better than Demon slayer and Jujutsu kaisen .

It's not a shonen in anime. idk about manga.
but the anime is R rated that means it officially has an age limit tag like vinland saga.

I guess relative to KnY and JJK it isn't. But for me it kinda falls into next gen since a new season just got released, it's still relevant, and there's still going to be installments in the future. It just comes to what the definition of next-gen we're going to go with

He asked best not most popular though

Popularity comes with being the best. Besides, the word I used was success which includes not only popularity but also the ratings, sales, and notoriety it got. I personally think AoT is the best next-gen shounen but it's undeniable that KnY has left a lasting mark in the history of shounen and is unsurpassed in terms of success as of late.

I should probably note that "KnY is the best next-gen shounen" is my objective answer to the question lmAo

In terms of the pure battle aspect of shonen. DS is above it for me, however JJK isn’t that far behind and I find it funnier. They both have pretty strong characters and easy to understand but fun power systems.

Overall I’d still put DS above as it can hit some emotional points and JJK hasn’t for me yet. However considering DS is a whole season ahead in terms of adaptation, who knows as they both edge towards a full adaptation.

I’m not entirely sure what counts as shonen but AOT, Vinland Saga and Chainsaw Man seems like ones that could top the leagues as well. From a few of the replies it seems like JJK is a lot of peoples second favourite. It seems pretty much everyone agrees it is good but so far it lacks that decisive element to just put it above the rest. I reckon we’ll see that in the coming seasons.

Try reading what i said again, popularity isn't my only basis. But hey, if you're too butthurt to actually comprehend what I've been saying, I actually thought JJK was better than Demon Slayer until the entertainment district season came out, so maybe we can have that as middle ground

In terms of Jump in the 2010s I'd say Black Clover. In terms of overall new Jump I'd say Akane Banashi, but KnY was not my jam, I haven't read CS yet, and I prefer shounen that utilizes its ladies more than JJK does so ymmv. That said I do like JJK and look forward to it weekly because it's good

you listed popularity as a reason for both aot and DS so I thought it was weird lmao. Also I assume you haven’t read jjk manga if the DS entertainment district arc was able to beat it out.

lMAo i'm sorry, I wasn't trying to argue haphazardly, i just thought you were baiting. I included popularity in my criteria but it was just that, a part of the criteria. I actually only based on anime since this discussion was posted on the jjk anime forum so my bad on that, although my opinion would probably still be anime-based only since I prefer watching shounen anime first so that I can fully immerse in the show (except hunter x hunter since u know)

Jjk does look promising and i liked it when i watched it, and if we're talking about story, jjk can probably outclass demon slayer. Although when it comes to the art and animation, im sorry but ufotable is just too good 😩

Sorry for the misunderstanding, peace ✌️
