Personally, I don't mind this arc, Since this arc always feel interesting, But at the same time, This arc can be pretty cliche (being cliche doesn't always feel bad if it done correctly).

I love tournaments, loved them since I read Dragon Ball 14 years ago. Tenkaichi Budokai arcs were super enjoyable because the rivalries were great and Toriyama always added some mystery to the arcs that kept the audience glued to the storyline.

Dark Tournament arc in Yu Yu Hakusho is heavily inspired by Dragon Ball as well, and these two anime have done best with these arcs.

But I still love tournaments that are just tournaments, even if there is no real plot or character development involved

Tournament arc's is normally fun as long as it's not the last Tournament in Yu Yu, it's so fast pacing so the whole Tournament goes to shit before it even started.

I don't mind them. They can be pretty cliché, yeah, but sometimes they try new things, so you don't always know what the outcome will be.

I dont mind tournament arcs, its the same as writing a plot but just on tournament concept. What's important is how they'll utilize it. Some great examples are from Haikyuu for using it to dive deeper into the characters and utilize their flaws, Hunter exam's 4th phase from Hunter x Hunter for further exposition to some characters and some of the relationships, and Yu yu Hakusho for a prominent character development

It's very interesting because this arc has always been a place for characters to show their strength, especially in shounen anime whose mc from zero to hero is very feasible to make a tournament arc.

I think the arc has died multiple time over and there are now anime that are just tournament arcs


I'm not saying its bad but it needs some spicy or a break

I hate tournament arcs in general. I never came far in Hunter x Hunter either, because there are annoying tournament arcs.

I don't mind them. It's a nice way of seeing characters grow and become stronger.

It depends on how well they are done

For example I think HxH has good tournament arcs but MHA does not

Boring stuff only there to make the series longer. However worst tournament arc I think is in Yu Yu Hakusho. Only tournament arc I accept as good is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the book fuck the movie.

They can be good, entertaining and effective only when used for the lighter parts of a series with not so many stakes involved (this is: when main characters participate on them just to have fun). Otherwise, if used in the serious, more heavyweight ones, not so much since they become automatically more predictable and less intriguing. What's the point of the whole tournament and matches, if you already know in advance that our main characters are the ones who are going to win?

Heavily dislike them and I often drop battle shounen anime during tournament arcs. Examples would be Naruto or JJK. I only managed to get through the HeroAca sports arc because the battle tournament was brief and had some fights which were more on the funny side. Non-battle competitions I do not mind so much, but it all depends how long they take and how much I feel they are only there to support a bloated cast or prolong the material.

tournament arcs are a really cheap way to introduce characters. boring to watch, and drag on forever. hate them.
