Literally the only reason I can imagine people saying that is because the manga started about the same time Naruto ended, so it was just filling the gap for a lot of people.

Dragonball better. Naruto is like dragon ball, which means Mha is like dragonball. That’s what I hear every time someone compares any shounen to another, they’re all carbon copies of DB and YYH so who cares if someone compares My hero to Naruto, Naruto ain’t a original idea it’s a inspired idea.

same reason why people call magical girl site and magical girl raising project a " madoca Magica rip off " DESPITE not being similar in any way ( like the fact that Madoca Magica isn't a death game and isn't even that dark ) and tons of other differences like how the world functions and the amount of characters affecting the story, same reason why people call bunny girl senpai a " monogatari rip off" too :


people watch few anime, almost always the popular ones and see anime with some similarities that are made after, so they call them rip-offs, and yes it's extremely stupid

P.S. Bunny Girl Senpai ain't much similiar to Monogatari Series but instead has a lot in common (Movie included) with Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, that's a fact, it's actually seems like adapted in another universe for some things

Yeah, this is nothing like Naruto, it's the first time I heard people calling MHA green Naruto too.

Both animes have their charm, MHA overall has a more consistent animation which makes sense since this is a seasonal anime so they have more time to cook in the animation between seasons, on the other hand, Naruto has crappier animation but I praise it in the OST and the emotional moments which I consider to be one of the best in the business. I'm talking about Classic Naruto here, of course, not Shippuden since I didn't like Shippuden that much, it has a crappier OST and the emotional moments are meh on this one too.

I won't place those animes in my top ten, but when it comes to OST and emotional moments then Classic Naruto is up there in 1st place.

Cause it literally is. The author called it a Naruto inspired anime. He grew up reading Naruto. If you're too blind to spot the similarities, that's a you problem. Everything from the characters, story, themes, MCs, composition, demographic, motivations, it's all made to appeal to the same people that Naruto appealed to.

Keep coping.

Most shonen animes are essentially Dragon Ball rip offs, including Naruto, but this is probably one of those that only takes inspiration from its predecessors in things like design choices and other superficial things. It's not very similar to Dragonball besides the whole determined kind hearted extremely powerful protagonist that is basically just the norm for these types of shows now anyways.

Black Clover is a fairy tail clone

Why? Because Natsu was weak like Asta AND Naruto? No, Natsu was strong from the start.
Then is it because Natsu had a hidden power inside him like Asta AND Naruto? No, he had no hidden power that he needed to learn to handle, otherwise he's gone berserk like Asta AND Naruto.

Hm, then what could it be? Maybe Natsu's rival was also exceptional and one of the best, unlike the MC? No, Natsu and Gray were on the same level, while Sasuke and Yuno were talented.

Okay, last guess, then it must be that Natsu also wanted to achieve a really high rank, right? No, he didn't care about that while Asta wanted to be the wizard king and Naruto wanted to be the Hokage.

Yes, Fairy Tail and Black Clover are so similar... That's why I easily found so many similarities here...
Look, even the plot and plot progression are really similar in Black Clover and Naruto. For example, the Uchiha clan was murdered like the elves in Black Clover.

I'd not agree on this. Naruto had a decent plot, some characters were really good and the world building was really good until the middle of shippuden, then it really fell off in every aspect. I think Kishimoto wasn't sure what to do and how to end the story.

I feel like hero academia if you squint has alot of the DNA of early naruto, underdog protagonist in a combat school setting that gets interrupted by a terrorist midway through tournament. Calling it a naruto rip off or even close is more indicative that the person saying that only watches a few shows, but the similarity and tone feel present.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I am one of those people. IMO whenever a big series ends, Jump will try to fill that gap with a story that has a similar vibe, or whenever some story or idea hits it big in another magazine, they will introduce an alternative version with Jump vibes. For me BNHA was what filled the Naruto gap. Most thought it was Black Clover, and yes story-wise BC is closer to Naruto, with all the orphan kid trying to become the leader stuff. But tone-wise, BNHA is closer to Naruto IMO.

BTW other examples of Jump manga filling the gap of other series:

JJK > HxH (I know HxH is ongoing XD But still)
Mashle > Saiki K
Kaiju No.8 > SNK (a major hit from another magazine)

Remember this is only my personal opinion and I'm not trying to accuse any series of being a rip-off. I pretty much like all of the ones I mentioned above, except BC.
