Naruto suspassed Goku as the most popular anime character in the world
>no Demon Slayer and BleachHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>287748366Third world*
Boruto above Vegeta?????
>>287748366The masses have no standards whatsoever. Feels good being a HunterCHAD
>>287748613Can't wait for the next chapter
>>287748613Cope. Naruto will always be better than Hiatus x Hiatus despite being a rip off lmao
>>287748366zoomer...not big surprise. DB the anime looks old as fuck nowadays and shit like Daima doesn't help.
>>287748871Zoomer? Naruto is old as fuck.
>>287748952Naruto aired through the 2000s to 2010s. There's good odds Zoomers watched it as a bunch of little shits.
>>287748952zoomers use tiktok and the Dragon Ball that people like looks ancient today. it seems like DB should really get a remake.
Tiktok isn't "the world"
I don't know a soul who consumes or talks about Naruto anymore. It's all one piece everywhere.
>>287749283One Piece doesn't even have popular game collabs.
>>287749355Sounds like a good thing
>>287748366Sakura is still the 3rd most popular in Naruto.
>>287749283Naruto ended a decade ago and it's still close to One Piss in viewership and tops charts.>I don't know a soul who consumes or talks about Naruto anymoreWhy would that be taken into consideration when you're just a nobody?
>>287749503That just means there is god awful amount of low IQ shit eaters that are satisfied with eating bottom of the barrel trash. Naruto was archived as being garbage close to 20 years ago. There's a reason it was bannable for posting it around here. It was that cringe.
>>287748366>vague stat chart>discourse baiting statement
>>287748366>tiktokso casual toddlers with below average iq, the list makes sense
>>287748366What a tastelessness, disgustingStrong proof that anime NEEDS gatekeeping
>>287749683Holy cope, enough with the revisionist headcanon, fag.
>>287748613HxH has effortless aura farming but it's not the kind of aura farming the kids can appreciate
>>287749076I watched dragon ball too though. Also if you're American you could have caught dragon ball on toonami in the 2000s as well.
>>287749909That's literally why this shit happened and only when Poole sold out, you retarded faggot. Kill yourself.
>>287749761My sides.
>>287750261Seethe all you want, this has always been a Naruto website whether you like it or not.
>>287748366Gotta be fake, and even if it wasn't:>TikTokNo one who matters uses that app anon. In any case, there is no universe where Boruto is more popular than Itachi, let alone one where Naruto is more popular than Goku
>>287748699Next half decade
>>287748366>attention equals popularityFaulty premise.
>>287748366>Pinkshit is more popular than Erza This is what happens when you have a great character stuck in a trashfire.
>>287748366>no Bejita
>>287748871>supposedly looks old as fuck>still better than Wank Piss or Shitruto
>>287753660But one of his clones made it.
>>287753128That's the definition of popularity.
>>287749283Shartruto does pretty well considering how long ago it ended and it's actually kind of sad how poorly the next generations sequel does in comparison to the OG. I think the sequel actually had potential if they didn't rush in to it and start airing it 2 weeks after Naruto Shippuden finished, it's legitimately a Dragon Ball situation all over again where they started airing GT a week after DBZ ended. I don't think DBS was particularly great but it at least had some proof of if enough time passes people will be more willing to give the new thing a shot
>>287748366>based on TikTok posts
>>287754092t.
>>287748366so? most of the world is brown and eats with nothing but their hands
>>287748366Maybe on Planet Retard
>>287748366While we're on the subject with social media, there's something I've been meaning to say.What is it with anime YouTube videos made by black channels that are just spewing out buzzwords constantly? It's like "AND THEN NARUTO HIT HIM WITH THE FRIED CHICKEN WOMBO COMBO" or "BUT CURSE MARK SASUKE CLAPPED BACK WITH HIS GOIN 2 JAIL NO WATERMELON JUTSU."Like watch the videos below and you'll see what I mean. It's been happening since 2023. But becoming more frequent with 2025.https://youtu.be/u0v2h4fBIMA?si=8t736tyhlirp9fQNhttps://youtu.be/4tjxPqL3OZE?si=l_xvqEbL_FmRd6kHhttps://youtu.be/8tgrVwfe68o?si=JptxXVzxT7YiLtOU
>>287748366Naruto is my dad favorite anime so it makes sense, I think pretty much any old person is going to love Naruto journey.
>>287748366The Lowest Common Denominator characters and series
>>287753128how else would you define popularity?
>>287755065COPE
>>287754138kek
>>287748366Now rank them in terms of how well written they are
ichigobros....
>>287748366>ased on TikTok postsSad that this is a valid metric.Glad that Ichigo is not there. Thirld-wrolder zoomer plebs don't deserve Bleach.
As a third worlder myself I can tell you Naruto is carried by the third world.
based on tiktok.9th is boruto
The sound effects alone in the Dragon Ball Z anime are objectively more iconic than even the most popular Naruto characters. Let that reality sink in.
>>287757253Most people think Naruto started at Naruto.Most people think Dragon Ball started at Z.Let that sink in.
>>287757699>More people are familiar with the middle story of Dragon Ball than the entirety of NarutoYou really didn't think your post through LMAO
>>287757699Yeah that's literally what happens when you introduce a sequel series to the biggest most culturally relevant society on the planet BEFORE the original series. You can't fault normies for not being as familiar with OGDB. Both shows are fundamentally better than Naruto though
>>287748366dragon ball is the only popular anime there is. one piece is slowly catching up, but it's still got a long way. naruto and bleach is nowehere
>>287748366> Based on TikTok postsGet outta here
>>287757699that's one of its unique feature. It went fr some gag series to a serious one. And what happened to naruto? Oh started copying dbz to turn into a joke and lost its orginal fanbase.
>>287754138>
>>287758106>It went fr some gag series to a serious onemisconception. It went from a more comedically driven action series to a less comedic action series. There was never a point where it was just all gags and no martial arts.
>Narutokek. It must suck being the 4th more important battle shounen protag behind Goku, Kenshiro, and Luffy. Hell even whatshisface from Demon Slayer is likely to eclipse Naruto in fame within this decade.
>>287749683I read naruto for the first time on this shitty website when it was being posted and discussed weekly 20 years ago same as one piece still is
Any character that isn't Doraemon is just wrong
>>287748613Maybe if the fucking series moved at all it would appear.
>>287758373Astro Boy is more relevant in America than that literal who Mickey Mouse slop.
>>287748613Poor man's YuYu Hakusho
>>287749503One Piece has 3 times the barrier of entry compared to naruto.
>>287758399both are shit so who cares.
>>287758399>3 times the barrier of entry compared to naruto.That's what happens when you create an uninspired ninja Dragon Ball clone.
>>287758439You are just saying things, not a single thought behind this post.
>>287758452as opposed to some vague nothing comment like a made-up barrier of entry statement that uses made up math to amplify said vague nothing comment that's not based on anything? Cope.
>>287758501It's very simple, One Piece is almost three times longer than Naruto, people do not watch One Piece for that simple reason, not due to whatever you are impotently seething about.
>>287748366It's because the show shares its name with the main character Naruto, retard.
>>287748366>~5x more popular than the second most popular character>~6x more popular than the second most popular naruto character>literally an order of magnitude higher than everything elseThere's no way this is accurate. I'm guessing they were unable to differentiate between posts that were about Naruto the character and posts that were about Naruto the series.
>>287758511>It's very simplebut enough about Naruto. >One Piece is almost three times longer than NarutoThat's not a barrier of entry, that's a barrier of longevity among potential viewers. >people do not watch One Piece for that simple reasonExcept for the fact that MORE people watch One Piece than they do Naruto so this logic doesn't even make sense. Honestly you're more likely to have more people not bother with Naruto due to the fact that Shippuden is basically nothing more than a filler series than you are with me who might be slightly intimidated by the length of One Piece which once again has proven that it being insanely long doesn't scare away many viewers given the insane amount of people who have been watching it for over 25 years straight. If Naruto even attempted to go that long, literally no one would be watching it in 2026 and that's just a fact.
>>287749683Is there any truth to this? I checked the archives for /a/ and there was barely any kind of animosity towards this series back in 2006.
>>287748366Ninjas are very cool, you can't deny that. There's just so much already established lore and aesthetics for a shinobi themed series.
>>287758587>barely any animosityThat's such bullshit. Even in my own school among normies, the series was criticized for being a DBZ ripoff. There's no fucking way /a/ of all places weren't especially tearing it to shreds when even school kids were. I don't believe anything you say.
>>287758598I'd rather watch better ninja anime.
>>287758614https://4museum.neocities.org/thread.html?id=824797&date=2006-08-10&board=ahttps://4museum.neocities.org/thread.html?id=789320&date=2006-08-02&board=aYou have threads even discussing the series. There are plenty of threads allowing nardo to be discussed anyway.
>Sakuranever shows tits>Nami never shows tits>Bulmashows tits.... and assGee I wonder which franchise is the most based
>>287758696Nothing you just posted disputes my posts. You're literally just posting random examples of people having regular discussions about it which also applies to..... every other anime that's ever been mentioned on this website including the absolute bottom of the barrel shows.
>>287758707also canonically homophobic just when you thought it couldn't get any more based
>>287758707>>Nami >never shows titsShe does, it's one of her special moves and has done it multiple times
>>287758758You never see her tits at any point. I'm talking nipples and all.
>>287749503LMAOOOO imagine having more than double the episodes be hiring for 10 years after it ended and still being this close. It's basically just a couple dudes that watch it all the way through
>>287748699Literally can't. It's impossible.
>>287748366>according to tiktoklmao
>>287758633this was even shallower than naruto, it has nice aesthetics however
According to my ass, Virigina is actually the most popular anime character in the world
>>287758707pheh
What caused the popularity resurgence of Naruto among zoomers?
>>287759908I dunno. Why is Dragon Ball still popular at all?
>>287754138oh yeah that's me
>>287748366>borutoyeah, nope, i'm not buying it.
>>287748366I think this search result conflates character with the series' name. Naruto having almost 5 times as many hits as the next result just doesn't make sense otherwise and it would also explain Boruto.
>>287759908Good manga
>>287748774>Hiatus x HiatusTell me again when those 4 Naruto episodes will be released.
>>287748482let’s not get crazy, even back when it was still airing Bleach was never nearly as popular as the big hitters
>>287758707>Bulmaprude
>>287758312There was no actual martial arts until the tournament, which represents a pretty clear shift in focus, though the tournament itself is still relatively gag-filled.The closest thing to a real fight prior to that is like, Goku RPSing Yamcha off of some panels.Now, that happens fairly early all things considered, but it certainly started as a gag adventure if anything.
If this thread doesn't highlight and show you how cancerous and cringe Naruto fans are, nothing will. It should result in a an automatic ban.
>>287755391>GOIN 2 JAIL NO WATERMELON JUTSUi loled
>>287760475They're fine. This was actually one of the better threads I've read on Naruto. Dare I say, a good thread.
>>287760475see >>287751600
>>287760475The why does everyone hate Sakura thread was 10 times worse. Pure shipperfaggotry Hell.
>>287748366the show and the character share the same name
>>287759646>>287760379Based Rushi Rubburs
>>287748366It's inaccurate because Naruto is also the name of the fucking show, dumbass
>>287748366People want naruto , they crave it.
>>287761515one piece and dbz are ten times more culturaly popular than tardruto.
>>287748366>tiktoki don't give a shit about chronically online children
>>287761569
>>287749503Does that 629mil hours include Bort watch hours?
>>287758106>that's one of its unique feature. It went fr some gag series to a serious one.Dragon Ball was never a gag manga. The most it ever got to that was in the tournament saga. It's a comedy manga that became more serious and dramatic as time went on.
>>287758398Hxh has better follow-through, yuyu shits itself too much at the end
>>287749503>1000+ episodes>720 episodes>63 episodesThere is one clear winner here
