- The tournament arc is a staple of Shounen Jump, so it's an easy element to bring up when comparing two titles from this publication. However, not all tournaments seek to achieve the same result, which is why I'll be taking a look at My Hero Academia's Sports Festival in comparison to Naruto's Chunin Exams to see where the strengths and weaknesses of each respective arc lie.
Here's the link to a Kishimoto interview where I got some of my talking points from: naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:1...

Sports festival: Do your best everyone!
Chunin exams: SOME OF Y’ALL GON DIE!
That’s why I like the chunin exams arc more
LMFAOO
Why you comparing the entire chunin exam to a sports festival arc
LMFAOOO
@@whyiscam1215 because they're both tournaments.
the chunin exams were absolutely godlike, the peak of naruto IMO
Yeah narutos chunin scenes and the zabuza arc I feel were so intelligent with all the ideologies being challenged. It was interesting how everyone was bringing some serious personal vendettas and childhood trauma to their fights. Bnha's tournament was fun and light. Not alot of strategic play or people being plain op so there was no match. Short and sweet is the right word.
@AlreadyWon ö some people like it tho
@AlreadyWon ok boomer
AlreadyWon “tailed beast bomb”
@AlreadyWon you bitch dumbass /wooosh
My Hero Academia’s arc was really good-but the Chunin Exam arc was EASILY one of the best arcs ever
Well its kinda unfair to compare them since the chunin exam is way longer
@@greenshrex7532 Dark Tournament.
@@greenshrex7532 I know! They took a break between the preliminaries and finals to have Naruto train and it eventually became a full-out war!
Personal stories of many characters are being explored in the Chunnin Exam especially Naruto, Sasuke, Lee, Neji and Gaara, and you think only My Hero progress the characters goals and motivations in the tournament arc.
I know you will never change your mind but at least give legit reasons on why you think it's better, not outright bullshit lies.
They didn't bring in villains in the tournament arc in MHA because the trash ass League of Villains just invaded a while ago and did absolutely nothing.
Oh and did I mentioned MHA villains are way inferior? And no it's not because "tHe AuthoR waNt tHe VilLainS tO gRow wITh tHe MaiN cHarACtErs", even AFO was one of the trashiest overlord in anime ever. Only Stain was good and he had a few chapters of screentime.
Go Time Now
His motivation is to be immortal and have every jutsu. Did you even watched the show?
Oh and you are ignoring all the characters that got character development because of this one evil character who doesn’t have very high moral values when AFO motivations aren’t even fucking explained this far in the manga yet? You must be pretty objective huh.
Yea yea calling it a cartoon doesn’t offend me at all when you are defending another cartoon. Good try tho
Go take some debate classes so you look less like a dumbass the next time you comment, MHA”tard”
Strictly in my opinion, the stakes and emotion was stronger in Naruto’s arc. I was genuinely thinking certain characters would die in Naruto’s arc as the fights were far more brutal. Rock Lee and Hinata’s fights were far more emotional to me than Todoroki’s father stuff. Plus the naruto abilities were just more interesting. We were seeing for the first time what they all could do. Rock lee being the greatest surprise
I haven't seen a single ep of MHA but, just based on this video, Naruto had better-looking character designs. I also wonder if MHA fights will impress me as much as Naruto's (especially the Shikamaru ones).....
Agreed 100%. Rock Lee's fight in the chunin exam was amazing, its my favorite
andres silang You should definitely try MHA it’s pretty cool but undoubtedly naruto is much more fun and long lasting
andres silang MHA fights are absolutely garbage, unlike Naruto there’s no strategic fights with their powers it’s just punch punch knock out
@@cool-wf9cr unlike Naruto part 1 you mean right?
Though, I think Naruto chunin exam being interrupted is much more interesting than the MHA tournament concluding.
same
usually anime tournaments are interrupted. Mha's actually ending was a godsent

@@sockcat43ohohoh80 he was saying he was glad it wasn't interrupted.

These replies are Hilarious.
Early Naruto hands down was one of the best written manga ever.
Ashutosh agreed. Very disappointed with the war arc tho. It was practically unwatchable
Jingo McHarrison yep
Did you read Berserk? Read Berserk.
@Hello There Folks Sadly the war arc was very clearly Kishimoto rushing to complete the series. A lot of plot points were unwrapped, and the series had already been dragged and bogged down in some ways due to the pressures from Jump.
And of course Kaguya is the ultimate example of a rushed final boss...
naruto should have ended with sasuke leaving. it would have been one of the best ambiguous endings.
Chunin Exams for me. Pretty sure most would say Lee vs Gaara was the best part of it, but Sasuke vs Orochimaru in the Forrest of Death was hella tight.
Darth Obito right that’s what I’m saying that shit was live
Yeah actually a lot of the fights were great, Shikamaru vs Temari is a standout as well
I liked lee vs gaara more
@@horizontalnoodlelmao4286 that episode really made me like shikamaru a lot
The part where naruto comes in ti save sasuke and then calls him scaredy cat is one of my favourite naruto moments
The thing about naruto is that pretty much all the side characters end up doing nothing
Yeaaa... that's the overarching issue to be sure.
But let's not dwell on tragedies shall we?
Let a just hope this doesn't happen to Hero academia because other than than the main kids that everyone loves from deck and ida to tsu and kirishima the other class mates seem to be there still but in a way that won't benefit there own characters
Eyen Ward Lee Neji Shino Kiba and others. Like the other cool teachers
Feel4 The Pain none of them amounted to anything in the story save for unnecessary death for Nejj
That's why the Sasuke Retrieval arc is the best in the series.
Everyone get's their time to shine.
I rly enjoyed Midoriya vs Todoroki but it doesn’t compare to Rock Lee vs Gaara, that fight is quite likely the best anime fight of all time
I would not say the best fight in anime. Its one of the best fights in anime.. BTW naruto tournament was farrrr better
I still dont think its even close to say best anime fight of all time
MHAs tournament arc was interesting, simple and fun. But the chunin exams were intense, dark and deadly. That's y I prefer the chunin exams
@Gaming_Master - I just wanna say Naruto having long fights it's amazing but when the war came they took it to far I understand the tournament of power was a season it's self but the Naruto war arc went from amazing to weak to amazing to bad to amazing again but never will I ever say that Mha is better than Naruto the fights took long I liked it but changing the villain over and over gain was getting a bit irritating then the flashbacks came it was okay then they showed us some dreams from other people which made the arc longer at that point I just wanted it to end I understand why people will complain about this but your right it is impactful
yes
@@xezz8866 I mean, that's why when you're watching Shippuden you pull up the episode guide and just skip anything that says filler. And some of those are pretty interesting, like Orochimarus revived goons vs the older Sasuke retrieval team, but nobody has time for that.
@@if7723 Shippuden I don't remember skipping any shippuden Episodes which is weird
@@xezz8866 Ya same here, when I was watching Shippuden I didn't even know what fillers were.
Bro. You cant compare it- Rock Lee dropped his weights, and Sasuke made Gaara bleed.
Ya but he used the chidori
Lol when Neji dominated and still got knocked out with in one punch
And the premiere of the creepiest villain in all of shonen
@@rafiii7651 Knocked by nine tails naruto going from ground to up. plus nejis durablity sucks
@@adkgaming6608 fr died to a toothpick
I remember how the battle of Naruto vs Neji had their ideas of destiny and how those ideas are thrown out the window in Shippuden when we find out Naruto was destined to save the world even though he was set up to be an underdog.
Santiago Agnes It Wasn't Thrown Out The Windows. Neji Was Right. Which Is Why Kishimoto Killed Him.
They threw them out in that very fucking battle when Naruto wins because of the nine tails power.
Only Sasuke beat an Akatsuki nin without any intel Naruto Was Never Destined To Be A Failure. That's What The Argument Was Really. Naruto Says You Can Change That And Neji Said You Can't. Boom. Child Of The Prophecy. Rock Lee On The Other Hand Worked Harder Than Naruto And Sasuke Combined... Still A Loser Despite All His Efforts To Change That. He Would've Won Against Gaara If He Wasn't. (Someone Who Probably Ain't Never Trained A Day In His Life).
P.S Sasuke's Win Against Deidera Was An Asspull That Made No Sense. Both Completely Out Of Chakra, Except Apparently Sasuke Can Do The Fucking Summoning Jutsu, Activate His Sharingan And Put A 50ft Motherfucker Snake Under A Genjutsu. With No Chakra. Let's Face It. Kishimoto Didn't Know What The Fuck He Was Doing.
Actually, prophecy said he could have also destroyed it.
I Was Going To. Believe Me. But Then I Realised Not Only Does Your Name Scream Fanboy But So Does Your DP. I'm Sorry But I Can't. Tell You What Though. You Prove To Me Sasuke Could Escape That Explosion And I Will Argue.
Gaara vs rock lee is better then any my hero academia fight
TOTALLY AGREE !!!!
Rock lee was going to die , midoriya just keeps cracking his fingers .
He was breaking his broken fingers.
all might vs nomu, all might vs all for one, deku vs todoroki are all at least on equal footing. the difference here being that gaara vs rock lee is the *ONLY* amazing and standout fight in seven or eight _hundred_ episodes of naruto, whereas MHA manages three such fights in under 50 episodes
@@KingHalbatorix that's completely not true at all lul. There were also some amazing fights even during the chunin exams like Hinata vs Neji where Hinata tried to prove Neji wrong where she pushes herself to change her fate against Neji and impress Naruto, but when she loses, she'll have a reason to keep training harder than ever so the next time she fights in front of Naruto she'll be able to make an impression on him. Not only as someone who wants to be praised by the one she looks up to but also to be finally seen by the one she loves which she does in the Naruto vs Pain fight. Also the whole anime of Naruto is around 750-800 episodes so your saying Obito vs Kakashi, Naruto vs Neji, Taka vs The Seven Kage, really any akatsuki fight, and all the Naruto vs Sasuke fights aren't amazing? Also (bc of the way Naruto's cast is and MHA's cast is I understand that MHA doesn't do much compared to Naruto on the tournament arc but still) Naruto even shows off everything that every important kid character that we'll see in the future wants to be. Why they want to become Ninja and what they want out of it and what their abilities are at their max while MHA you don't even see Toru at all and it's unclear as to why everyone wants to become a hero or what kind of hero they even want to be (for example Kirishima and Mina later on down the road). I will admit MHA has more quality over quantity kind of fights compared to Naruto but really the only one imo that's even Rock Lee vs Gaara tier is the Kirishima fight (again not sure where you are so not gonna say anymore about that one). I'm sure MHA by the end of it's run will have more and more fights that'll only get better with time but I wouldn't say it deserves the pedestal your giving it just yet (and that's just saying if the story can keep this up in the long run due to how mangas get worse over time due to the sheer fact that shonen doesn't care about the human limits and makes you have to make a new manga chapter on a really tight schedule where they eventually get worn out and possibly lose interest). MHA is still great but it's not THAT great of a show. At least in my eyes, but you can't say Naruto didn't have a lot of amazing fights and philosophies of what a ninja or hero is and should be and how to keep peace in the world and such.
I saw a friend of mine watching My Hero and I went “so this is superhero Naruto?” He was not happy
Holy shit that's wat I'm my hero from now on
It is tho
I would be mad at you too
Why? It's true though.
MarcuzzPlayz kind off but not really.
Bruh why is this even a video
We all know that the Chunin Exam arc is by far one of the best ones out there
yeah, more emotional and better fights
yep
Hell yea! There were like 5 fights in each episode during the sports festival.
It's because of the idiots who said Myhero would surpass naruto and the idiots now who say it is better than Naruto.
Imagine calling this Naruto clone ripoff SLOP superior?
The fact that there's 2 naruto clones in the big 3 while boruto is the most different and unique from the bunch proves the point
FR
So what you're saying is HxH wins.
Lockjaw why?
I would guess because "HxH is a ripoff of Naruto"
Romulus Numa Anyone who believes that is a fake shounen fan for not realising that the original Hunter x Hunter manga came out before Naruto.
How was the Hunter Exam bad? People like you never explain themselves so I don't know.
HxH always wins and it deserves too...
Can we have a Tournament Arc - Tournament Arc?
Find all the anime with tournament arcs, compare their tournament arc with the relative quality of the overall anime, then compare two random anime in the pool together just like this video. (We're not comparing the anime itself, we're comparing how well each arc was done for their respective anime) Then structure this video series of videos like a tournament.
best tournament is in keijo
I like this idea, I could see r/anime doing this
TOURNAMENT ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRC
I can already predict the finalists - The Hunter Exam and the Grand Magic Games :P
· 0xFFF1 Dark tournemant wins...
Chunnin exam cause it was well written and fight was long enough to be called legendary unlike mha 2 episode fight and villian down
roflmao yea 10 episode per villain is better rite
too slow is bad, but too fast is also bad.
@@eggt1836 nope it's cuz when characters fought in naruto, they represented strong ideologies
@@theyellowflashoftheleaf5896 but that's also my hero's strong point.
@@no-ku6jp only three characters in the festival fought for their views and stood by their facts
Hinata vs neji now that was tough to watch.
But it was great
I don't think Todoroki necessarily 'compromised' with Midoriya.
Izuku wasn't arguing him to embrace his father, but to accept and apply his power. And although Shoto gave in at the spur-of-moment, Horikoshi understands and recognises in his work that it takes time for people to reconsider and adjust their beliefs.
The weird thing is that Horikoshi kind of goes for a middle ground. In his fight with Bakugo, Todoroki decides to forfeit the match rather than use his left side, but he immediately uses it against Stain afterwards. Therefore I do feel it was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision.
True, but Todoroki went to see her BECAUSE of his fight with Deku. So why did he stop himself from using his power in the Bakugou match?
He clearly says he's confused on what do at this point and he doesn't know if what he did was right against Deku, which is why he has to go to finally see his mother and fiure things out.

Talk about dickriding.
Gemnist Forward. I like that
Humanity is standing at the threshold of a monumental transformation. A shift in conciseness without precedent. At the very least, you probably sense this at some level. But if you’ve been paying attention, you can see the changes beginning to unfold, and it’s accelerating. More and more people are opening their eyes, and reaching for the courage to stand up. It’s still a struggle. Like a child making its first steps. And in these early stages as the wool is pulled from our eyes, what we see can be terrifying. There is a dark side, and it’s been there for many generations. Now you’re starting to see it for what it is. And that’s the first step. The second step is to see yourself for what YOU really are. And to live up to your real potential. You are NOT below these men who claim your favorite show is trash! You were NOT born to contain your excitement or hide your love! You were not born to live a life of servitude to social status! YOU WERE NOT BORN TO LET OTHERS THINK FOR YOU OR DICTATE YOUR PATH IN LIFE!! YOU ARE CAPABLE OF SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS!!!!
But we’re only going to get there if we stop living in fear
And we take. Our Power. Back.
Contrary to what some would have you believe, we are legion, and they are few. Their strength is OUR strength. Their influence is nothing but the play on our own insecurities, and the only thing keeping us from reclaiming our pride is the walls in our own minds.
Some would do anything to protect those walls. And some of us have brought titans. But the awakening itself is bigger than this. It is driven by forces of causality that even those at the top of our social order are powerless to stop. And those walls like that of Maria, are coming down one way or another. This is a time of transition. To aid in that transition our revolution has 3 goals:
1. Spread Dickriding across the web and world, Dickriding being defined to us as "Being self indulgent with your favorite things. Letting anyone and anyone know how great it is and NEVER being ashamed about it or talking about it!"
2. We want at least 20 youtube channels carrying the "Dickriding Association" brand. No trademark or copyright bullshit here, Spread the name far and wide my fellow Riders!
3. We'll(associations) support one another in every concivable way (Financially, socially, publicly, privatly, etc.) even if you personally dislike what another group is Dickriding. This is a movement of brotherhood and solidarity!
You only leave this world with the effect you had on others. Lets make that effect a positive one and remind people that Life is Epic!

A chance for them to shine in that they actually had the spotlight for a bit.
Mathwiz97 well thats true even tho I bet Most people skiped or Fell asleep when they fought
Oh The People vs. Sakura...
That fight was pretty barebones, but it had a genuine impact on both of their characters, which is why I generally liked that fight.
Gemnist well igmf u want to call them carakters sure
Because clearly popularity is equivalent to quality........
That's sarcasm in case you are daft.
I think this was very well done but as you said this is very much comparing apples to oranges. The scale of each tournament arc is just too different. Naruto's arc escalates the story where Mha's arc establishes a character. I kind of wish the comparison took that into account and compared how well each tournament worked in each story instead of the one to one comparison.
blissfulrain Nah, it's very easy to compare them. Orange (Boku no Hero) sucks, while apples (naruto) are ok
Legolas_pt Good for you that you like apples. They're great fruits, a classic staple. I like oranges a bit more though cause they can be very refreshing.
blissfulrain no, they aren't great fruits, they are ok at best, but oranges, omg what a bad and annoying fruit! And it's even one of the most common!
blissfulrain totally true, while Naruto had more awesome fights I think I liked MHA more, Midoriya vs Todoroki was such a great fight that not only had good animation, but deep story behind it and handle domestic violence so well that it didn't feel like the generic tragic past.
Im a great fan of Naruto and I think that it's the best shonen regarding fights, but as a whole I think MHA is just superior.
Legolas_pt hmm maybe you should try different fruits since these aren't to YOUR standards. Mangoes are pretty nice. As for oranges well yeah there are a lot of them but that's cause they're are a lot of different types. Like there's this one called Cara Cara oranges that I find just delightful. From the color to the taste these oranges appeal to ME. You know now that I think about it I don't like bananas. They're just down right awful. Though I suppose it would be pretty weird and annoying of me to go around telling people that bananas just suck cause I happen to not like them when they're talking about them it probably also wouldn't contribute anything to the discussion they were having. Now look at me I've started rambling. Anyway hope you find a fruit you like.
comparing the legendary naruto exams to my hero is disrespectful. my hero was good but come on this is naruto
Isles Celestine Calling the Naruto exams legendary is disrespectful to actual legendary tournament arcs like HxH's or the Dark Tournament
Dex I love those two but tbh Naruto blows them out of the water but that’s just my opinion
@@Dexrazor what tournament arc in hxh, the last stage of the Hunter exam we only saw gon vs the bald ninja dude , and heavens arena is only basically an intro to their power system and gon vs hisoka, are u really going to weigh those 2 things against the chunin exam and say it's on the same level
vell naruto came early when anime wasnt big,there werent many animes then so of course it would make sense of naruto getting great because it had to competition,now there are so many animes.
@@Dexrazor Honestly, the anime in HxH wasn't as good till they did the 2011 one I didn't like the old version and yes I watched back in middle school, but I really didn't love till they remade it.
Naruto would destroy Deku just with one punch
welp deku still hasn't developed yet but naruto has. the person who could probably defeat both is one punch man lol
They should rematch when deku gets his true power
@@Reachforataco12562 yeah it would be a very interesting fight
Not in the Chunim Exams
But deku can defeat 2002 naruto
The goal of the two series is VERY different.
The chunin exam was a big setup for an invasion that continued the tournament stealthily and shifted the series from just ninjas in school to ninjas in war.
My hero Academia's tournament Arc was designed to to flesh out and develop all the characters in an organic way by pitting them against each other.
I like my hero Academia's tournament Arc better for how concisely it runs. Even the squash matches contain development for both sides, or at least one side in some cases.
The squash matches also illustrate how certain power matchups can be risky for one-sided best. Characters walk away with the realization that they do have vulnerabilities they need to shore up, and the effects of those squash matches come up later.
You do, however, remind me that the early Naruto was really good. It's only after the time skip that Naruto started to fall.
So I stand by liking tournament arc in my hero Academia better, but will acknowledge that Naruto's was good too.

I like the tournament arc of hero academia better but like Naruto way more overall.
Loving this comment.
Herman Cillo mha tournament arc was complete garbage in no way shape or form did it develop anything in the series besides for todoroki not to mention how bad the fights were narutos was 100 times better and it’s not even close
well, to give my hero academia some credit : it's been set up to be one of VARIOUS tournament arcs. the author has stated that he want's to follow the cast through their whole high school career. meaning that there will be 3 sports festivals. + the festival also has a public aspect unlike the shounin exam, which would be more of a sports festival and final exams arc mix
if he made it too long and packed it would feel bad when it comes back. it's supposed to be a rough meassuring stick for development later as well
That would be kind of grinding though, and I don't think it's going to happen now. MHA's popularity has been waning in Japan, with it ranking lower than Black Clover now. MHA is still great though.

Naruto is one of the Legendary anime, of course every new shounen anime would higher their standard while studying the old anime and adjust while still basing on it.
yep
One thing I did kinda enjoy was that technically the match ups in the Chunin exams did take place in a way. As we know Naruto, Temari and Shino won their fights while Sasuke and Gaara's match was interrupted. Technically Gaara wins the fight during his and Sasukes continued fight outside the proper tournament. So technically the Semi Finals would've been Naruto vs Gaara which Naruto wins and Temari vs Shino. However Shino and Kankoru have a proper match instead of Kankoru forfeiting which Shino still wins but is unable to continue due to the poison he took. Meaning he'd have to basically forfeit his match to Temari. So the only thing that didn't technically happened was the Final which would've been Naruto vs Temari. Though considering Naruto beat her terrifying brother I wouldn't be surprised if she forfeited as well. Meaning Naruto technically won.

I think the structure and simplicity of the sports festival was intended
As it is stated by All Might and a majoryity of the adults, it is nothing more than a showcase for the students to show their future prospective hero companies.
Now whether or not that is bad is based on your own personal opinion, but I find it to work because of it. If it decided to be as complicated and intricate as the chuunin exam I think it would've been more bogged down and taken away the emotion from both the wins and the losses of the students.
I quite liked the Sports Festival for its take on the tournament arc. The brisk pacing is refreshing, and the ideas it attempts to develop work much better through that pacing (as I said in the video, the battles are quick and intense to reflect how the characters are supposed to give it their all and reach for the top).
I loved how HeroAca felt like one of the precious few shows set in a high school setting that actually did literally even one single thing with the ideas of being in school, developing, scouting out future jobs, interning at agencies, etc. There was just a narrative focus that's often absent, where high school is just a place people kinda go to maybe, sometimes. If even that. HeroAca made UA feel like an actual high school where superpowered people are developed into potential heroes and sidekicks.
The arc could have possibly been really straightforward while still giving the characters plenty of leeway for equal development.
Agreed. Like it's super cool BnHA has it own twists to the typical Tournament Arcs but considering it's not that big of a deal compared to the other parts of BnHA (for me anyway), it did it's job. Naruto's Tournament Arc is way better, but it was made a bigger deal whereas in BnHA it wasn't a large part.
This is why I love early Naruto. So much thought was put into the writing. Naruto was a slow steady decrease in quality as it went on, as Kishimoto admitted being a weekly mangaka took a physical and mental toll on him over the years.
Still, even with the shoddy finale and awful power scaling in the final arc, the ending was a nice homage to Devilman and how it's an optimistic reimagining of that series' ending. Not gonna spoil, but they fit thematically with each other so much.
Naruto and Sasuke went from elite-level combatants to country busters in a matter of days, which is how long the war took place. No matter how you put it, that's just an awful power scaling, with the power ceiling being raised over and over again over the course of a single arc.
Agreed. The power scaling was horrible at the end. I think of the former shone trio only one piece had the most steady scaling.
Naruto at the end took too big of a leap and even worse gave the Battle debate fanboys leverage to say Naruto and Sasuke could solo something like bleach or one piece that previously had characters who were above them tier wise.
It got worse after the Pain Arc because that arc was Naruto's peak Prime form
Shounen jump can influence writers block
Debatable
Chunin Exams > Sports Festival
I still like the Sports Festival though!

So in a nutshell of the two tournament arcs:
Naruto: goes all out to make the lesser-seen side characters more interesting and have potential character development, but does not capitalise on this later on.
MHA: does the bare minimum on what a tournament arc should do, but does a similar thing with its characters (who we already saw before)which were given character development that was later capitalised in the same season.
To be honest, I liked both of them...
what character development did mha have?
khattab todoroki slowly learning to accept his fire side and reach his full potential, bakugou showing an ability to not underestimate his opponents no matter how weak they are when compared to him, which is what he did to deku during their first fight, IIda and ochako both try to rely less on deku and be able to stand on their own two feet and be better heroes-in-training, and deku realises he needs to find a new way to use his power, and later develops full cowl to allow him to be a better hero.
@@sesereddead465 Bouncing off that, Aizawa uses the tournament results as a base for their exam to exploit the students weaknesses and how they are going to solve it like Momo and Todoroki which again, builds character.
@@sesereddead465 todoroki accepting to use his fire quirk was cringe to me. And the backstory with his mom seeing todoroki as his father when she cared for him all that time was odd, like why the sudden change of regret of not wanting your son, thats what was weird about the backstory she would've left a long time ago.
@@dreamcaster2625 abuse gets people to do things they won’t often do to the people they love.
She was mentally broken at the time, and was terrified at any reminder of her abuser.
This is why todoroki realising his blood ties don’t fully define him is so important, as he faced trauma as a result of his father’s abuse, which gives him the epiphany that he can use his fire side and still be himself.
Well,Naruto is better :>
But Mha isn't bad ♥
Kiiro naruto is decent at best plus the exams was a ripoff of the hunter exams from hxh
Noel decent?! Masterpiece. The story is so damn good.
Decent? It executes better than Naruto.
Noel as much as I love Naruto you are correct
It's not even taking inspiration it's pretty much an entire copy
Hisoka is pretty much orochimaru
Naruto took the forest of death thing from the number tag stealing thing (replace tag with scroll)
And a tournament
I think there was also a written exam in HXH but I'm not 100% sure about that
@@MD-fx5sh its okay in my opinion
The Chunin exams was one of the best (if not the best) arcs. Straight fire 🤷🏾♀️🔥
Personally, i liked the chunin exams much more than the sports tournament arc. While i have to admit that i had to keep skipping repeated flashbacks in naruto and felt like that arc went for too long, at least you get to know the characters and get to see much more interesting dynamics, fights and interactions. In bnha instead you just see extremely short fights where you learn absolutely nothing about the characters other than todoroki and a bit of deku. Considering how horikoshi has still barely developed most background characters (just look at class 1B or most of the girls in 1A...) even in the latest chapters of the manga... I think that he could have done a much better job with the sports tournament arc and could have used it to let us know a bit more about these characters i mentioned. I don't know, it was just disappointing to me.
They both suck hunter x hunter and jo jo are superior anime naruto is predictable and generic
One Piece why don’t YOU make an anime and try NOT to make “trash” like Naruto?
@@laviniapalenixd9660 fr, hxh dick riders don't get that the Series is only as good as it is because the author has nearly one month to write a chapter, ask him to write chapters in the span of a week then even the so called greatest series hxh would be "trash".
One Piece jojo is not that good
That's the risk you run when you introduce an overwhelming cast of characters at the start of your manga. We barely even got to know Deku, and yet we have 30 more characters alongside him. It's not hard to write for a large cast of characters if you introduce them delicately at an appropriate pace. Todoroki's backstory was average. Anyone who's been watching anime for more than two days could predict why he resents his father. Haku and Sango from Inuyasha had a better backstory than Todoroki.
Yu Yu hakusho tournament arc was probably one of my favorite.
Would you say the series is more enjoyable to watch than mha and naruto?

pain arc
@@sarahfatima5049 i guess
Yu Yu Hakusho has the best tournament arc. the Dark Tournament allowed each key player to not only effectively utilize the skills we already knew they had, but allowed them to extend far beyond that. then you have the angle of team Urameshi being the severe underdogs, hated by almost everyone in attendance to the tournament. it helped that the antagonists of the series allowed for interesting fights as well. many had very unique and interesting reasons for joining the tournament, and most had abilities that at this point in the anime weren't really seen yet.
The chunin exam was better
definitely Chunin

He said Lee doesn't get a time to shine again but he's forgetting DRUNKEN FIST!!!!
And when lee tried to save Sakura in the forest, when lee was doing push-ups at the hospital not giving up, that was willpower! Also when sasuke vs gaara, sasuke used Lee’s moves. Even though lee wasn’t the one fighting, he did impact the fight.
i remember when my hero academia manga first came out, right after naruto ended. everyone referred to it, as the next naruto . i think that the similarities between mha and naruto were somewhat intentional. to ease the tranzition from naruto to mha and to attract more of naruto's fans.
Obviously 🙄
@@sumayaali751 That doesn't make it cheap or a knockoff...
Naruto's fight with Neji was good though, he fought a very strong peer and managed to win through deception and preying on Neji's overconfidence. Getting beaten by Naruto is the best thing that happened to Neji (and Gaara as well) as it forced them to reevaluate their worldviews. As for Naruto, he was routinely dismissed and everyone expected him to lose, but he proved them wrong and what his character got out of it was the recognition that he had so long desired. It is the first time he is praised on mass for his upset victory over the prodigy of the Hyuga clan(the most prominent clan in the village aside from the Uchiha).
I really wish that Hinata's defeat had played a bigger role, though. Naruto encouraged her to give it her all, and she nearly died because of it. This could've given Naruto some doubts about his goal/mentality and provided Neji with an opportunity to play a few mind games. Considering how effectively he was able to "read minds" during his fight with Hinata, it would've been cool if that was part of his character - that he could read people's body language and dig into their mental insecurities through that (on top of his prior knowledge of Naruto's influence on Hinata). This would've taken Neji's overconfidence up a notch, thus adding some extra weight to Naruto's victory as he would also have to overcome his own internal conflict.
Beyond that, the fight could have played out similarly to how it actually did, with Naruto re-affirming his beliefs and forcing Neji to change his own. As it stands now, though, the fight didn't have the same amount of depth as I think it should have had, and that mostly comes down to Neji taking a back seat up until the preliminaries.
SirReepicheep Rules But Neji Was Right..
Neji was NOT right. Neji's view that people could not change and could not overcome the difference in their talent or lack of it... is proven decidedly wrong. Neji's view on fate is warped and he is shown to hypocritical by Naruto in that he is fighting his own fate in the Hyuga clan harder than anyone while condemning others for their trying to change for the better (Lee, Hinata and Naruto). People constantly point to Naruto's connection with the sage of six paths as demeaning this and showing becoming great warrior and the hokage was always his destiny, no... Naruto still worked for it, he did have the ninetails power to tap into, but he still very much worked for it in spite of his horrendous lack of skills and talent early on. The whole reincarnation thing was not thought up until well into the series, it was put in there by Kishimoto as a way of tying in Naruto and Sasuke against Kaguya in the end.
Neji was completely right. There was a massive tone shift in Naruto with the start of Shippuden. It didnt matter how much work anyone put in, if they were not from an established powerful clan or spliced their dna with somebody who was then they were pretty much irrelevant. Guy was really the only exception to this and it crippled him.
SirReepicheep Rules I agree

I think the problems with MHAs tournament are also partially due to the quirk system. With exceptions, the students are very limited in what they can do, the cavalry battle uses the powers for all their worth, but you could not see most of them using their powers to find a way too cheat in a exam. Even basic techniques like transformation, clone and the inclusion of weapons, traps and advanced martial arts give the ninja much more to work with, in scenarios like the Forest of Death.
Max Mustermann just because theyre more limited doesnt mean its worse. It builds more tension, and does a better job of making things intense in my opinion.
Tru
Bradley Brad is day it does the opposite. You get tension when fighters are pulling out different techniques and trying to shift around the each other in a physical, mental and emotional way. A fight where one guy bulldozes the other like mha is boring and predictable

Great breakdown. Identifies the strengths of both methods and how they function in their own narratives.
Good analysis, but I *completely* disagree that the arc is "hollow" with the sheer amount of development it packed in such a short amount of time. It seems like you dismiss those as integral parts of the arc.
I used the word "hollow" more so as a comparison to the Chunin Exams than anything else. The Sports Festival accomplishes quite a bit in its short run (which is why I wasn't *too* concerned with the fast pacing), but in saying that, I felt as though the Chunin Exams accomplished more overall.
As I said in the video, though, the Chunin Exams arc was HUGE - almost 5x longer than the Sports Festival arc. I would be surprised and disappointed if it didn't have comparatively more going on.
Bread And this people, is the clear definition of a mindless hater....
Bread Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it bad. And just because someone else's opinion is different than yours, doesn't make it wrong. Carlos isn't a mindless fanboy because he likes the show, nor is anyone else. You're a mindless hater because you hate the show because everyone else likes it. Think about that.
Then you're just lashing out at him for no reason. You just attacked him because he called you a bad name. You have no proof that he's a mindless fanboy. This is more proof to everyone that you're a mindless hater
Calling him a mindless fanboy when he commented about you being a mindless hater doesn't make anything right. It makes you two both wrong.
Maybe you can make a video like this for the Hunter exam.
i think that the most important part of the tournament arc is 1vs1 battles and Hunter Exam really lacks those (all battles besides the first are in a flashback). Side characters aren't fleshed out too... Heaven Arena (also a tournament arc) lacks also memorable opponents, with the exception of Hisoka, who was introduced earlier. HxH strongest arcs aren't tournament ones.
PS just watch the Dark Tournament Saga from Yu Yu Hakusho and you will see how Togashi can write a great tournament arc
Ann Keal oh, I forgot about Yu Yu Hakusho. 1v1 battles weren't the main focus of the Hunter exam but it did make for a really interesting tournament like thing. It's also where we meet there 3 main characters aside from Gon.
It was way to long when it could’ve ended after a couple of the tests. And not enough focus on side characters

I find I don't really agree with the weaknesses you put forth for BNHA's tournament arc. Criticizing a lack of development on side characters seems disingenuous given the runtime, especially compared to the Chuunin Exams.
BNHA's tournament arc does a lot, and more characters are impacted than just the big three. Ochako gets arguably more character development then she got in the entire first season. The point of the arc isn't to develop the side characters, it's to increase our investment in the main cast and to understand them better. It's arguably a better use of screen time by an order of magnitude. Unimportant bits (like battles between irrelevant side characters) are cut out in favor of covering only that which really delivers value to the overall story. Don't get me wrong, development of side characters and world building can both be incredibly enjoyable to watch, but I don't think a tournament arc is the right place to do that. (the internships episode and the final exams serve this purpose much more efficiently) A tournament generally focuses on 1 on 1 combat between characters in a single setting, so there isn't much opportunity for world building. I also think that long, drawn-out fights between side characters (especially ones that won't get any more serious screentime) is a disservice to the viewer. (full disclosure: I don't watch anime that have >100 episodes)
In my eyes, filler, especially when used to the point of absurdity, is one of the greatest sins of shounen anime. And, to my knowledge, all big shounen anime have engaged in massive amounts filler EXCEPT My Hero Academia (which is only 2 seasons in, so this could change). Everything in MHA happens with purpose, delivering value to the viewer and moving the story along. This is an incredible strength of the show. I think a lot of people give filler a pass, but I find it intolerable. If I'm watching 3 episodes to get the content and enjoyment which another show can deliver in a single episode, then that's simply a waste of time.
Matortheeternal I couldn't have said it better myself.
Matortheeternal theres no filler bcuz we never get to watch the show lol
THE BLACK RAIKAGE - if you mean that BNHA isn't airing continuously, yeah that's a sacrifice we're making so it doesn't catch up to the source material too quickly. Honestly, I think it's preferable over a 3-year hiatus like what Attack on Titan did or creating a bunch of anime-original filler content. I'm totally happy to wait half a year between seasons if it means every minute meaningfully develops the plot and the world. The wait time between seasons has absolutely no impact on the value of the show as a whole, but a ton of filler does.
If you look for another wonderful shounen anime absent of fillers HxH (2011) is the show you might want to look up

There's also the worldbuilding aspect to tournament arcs since whatever rules the tournament has says a lot about the society that holds the tournament and the themes of the story. Like how the Hunter and Chunin Exams are...well exams to determine if the candidates are worthy of the position they're fighting for. And then there's Dragon Ball's World Martial Arts Tournament which doesn't allow weapons, armor, or outside help because it's about martial artists testing their own strength against each other which is a core idea of the series.

Damn, man. This is a very strong video that actually manages to break down shonen tropes with thorough detail. I will say that the Chunin Exam has many qualities that made it memorable you've brought up here, so to me it comes off as much more interesting.
MHA tournament arc is one of the most boring and worst ive ever read on a shonen.
I thought the deku vs todoroki was quite interesting, but other than that, all the other side characters were very lacklustre.

Hero's tournament arc was great ,I still think the naruto one has alot of replay value over my hero. With that being said dragonball and hunter x hunter had great tournament arcs,but my favorite one of all time was the dark tournament from yu yu hakusho ;).
In BHA, Hero-Killer: Stain is similar to Zabuza from Naruto
They're both good at swords while Stain's quirk similar to Hidan (Where he can taste blood of his opponent making them paralyzed) and both Stain and Zabuza changed Deku and Naruto's life
Also Deku vs Todoriki is also similar to Naruto vs Gaara, because both Deku and Naruto changes the life of Todoriki and Gaara by of course talking to them
I would say Boku No Hero has the better tournament arc overall but Rock Lee vs Gara does exist so based solely off that Naruto wins
Lord Blue Balls EX no
Overall naruto crushas bnha
I like bnha but no
Naruto is godly to me
What is your guy's opinion on the dark tournament
Boy, Naruto was so good back then. That said, I think the Chuunin Exams showcase some characterists of what would become some of it's weakness. You mention the size of the cast, which was never developed. I also think Naruto, even the manga, stretches some parts too much. Pacing-wise, I prefer Sports Festival way more.
I also disagree it's "hollow", even in comparison with Chuunin Exams. For example, I can't say anything in the Chuunin Exam is as deep as Todoroki's story and his ideologic battle with Midoriya. Rock Lee and Gaara are the only thing that come close, but then the characters are basically forgotten, so yeah.
And I don't think the stakes not being that high is a big problem. In the end, it's about showcasing its power, which everyone fails: Bakugou gets a hollow victory - he himself says it; Todoroki loses the ideologic battle (which ends up being best for him); and Midoriya isn't able to show the world that "I Am Here". If you count with Uraraka and Iida, they all had big defeats too, and they all affect each character. Naruto's chuunin arc, arguibly, didn't affect the protagonist at all.
Also, you cheated by including the Orochimaru attack in the same arc.
flu3b93 Thank You.
flu3b93 Neji’s backstory was deeper than todoroki’s backstory. Hinata and Neji’s backstory was deeper than anything in mha. Rock Lee’s backstory was deeper than anything in mha. And the exams had more of an affect on the characters. Naruto didnt become a chunin until Shippuden. Chunin exams way >>> mha. Also the music was a lot better too and the fights werr better
salty fanboy here
Yeah, Rock Lee story was great, but what came out of it? In the end, he was proven wrong in-universe: only special people (namely Sasuke and Naruto) were strong, unfortunately. One reason more I say classic Naruto was great while Shippuden wasn't. I don't remember Neiji's story that much, it didn't make a mark on me.
I don't understand what you meant about the effect of the chuunin arc. If we consider Mathwiz's division of the arc, I guess you can say the war led to Sasuke leaving Konoha... But then wouldn't be fair to include Stain's arc on MHA? I mean, it gave closure to Todoroki's character and only because of Midoriya's intervention, he was there to help them (he accepted his father as a boss) and were able to actually not die (by using his fire side and barely stopping Stain).
The music on Naruto was great, but so is in MHA. I don't think it's unfair to say you like one or another. Opinions may vary.
Sorry, but I disagree completely on the fights. Sure, the fights on MHA were short, but I think of that as a strength. It's also a bit unfair to Naruto: MHA has a better schedule to make better animation on fights. Naruto was released weekly and it shows. And thinking of animation only, does anything in Naruto ever came close to Todoroki x Midoriya's final attack? I don't think so.
But don't think I hate Naruto, or that I'm one of those MHA fans that gets salty when the comparison is made. I love Naruto despite its flaws (that are way more evident because it's a finished show and it was stretched until they couldn't do it anymore).
THE BLACK RAIKAGE That's extremely biased and only your opinion though. Music is subjective Fight choreography was good in both why else have we rarely heard anyone whine and call it bad moments in either. Todorokis story wasn't shallow and the seeds of it were planted in season one his costume even signified this. Midoriya has a noble goal uraraka has a noble goal and insane willpower. There was nothing shallow about either of their desires either. Do you prefer the entire cast to have sad backstories though? Is that what you prefer?
Chunins. Mha felt like just showcase of power. In Naruto charachters were actually thinking while fighting. Mystery of Kabuto and sound ninjas and the terror of Garra was extremely interesting to watch.
Haven't seen MHA but that was the vibe i had been getting.....
I actually really appreciated the quickness of many of the MHA fights in the tournament arc for the sheer fact that most fights aren't drawn out. Seriously, going at it for more than a couple minutes straight takes some serious energy. It just isn't realistic that every fight would last long enough for character development. As a former athlete, it made me appreciate that tournament arc even more.
It also re-establishes an important aspect of quirks that was briefly touched on in the second episode of the series - that there are match-ups that are naturally bad. Tokoyami was specifically a terrible match-up for Yaoyorozu because she needed time to use her quirk and he can attack especially quickly. He in turn lost to Bakugo because his quirk's seemingly only true weakness is light, which Bakugo produces with his explosions. This ties into why a bunch of pro heroes just contained a rampaging sludge villain suffocating a child instead of actually rescuing said child - they were powerless to do anything more. And, of course, things like Yaoyorozu's disappointing loss and Tokoyami's weakness to light are important seeds planted in this arc to come back later.

njw agreed.
What I like about how similar these two tournaments are. Are actually why I started loving these two animes. The Naruto vs Neji fight and the Midoriya vs Todoroki fights. Are my favorite fights from both animes. And are the what got me to stick around to see what happens. And are one of the big reasons why I love both animes.
One major thing I noticed is that Bakugo vs Uraraka is just like Neji vs Hinata. Both fights are between the smug elitist who is the prodigy ahead of everyone else, up against the undeniably much weaker female love interest who doesn't put up a whole lot of a fight, but is more there to showcase a determination to not give up. However, the key difference is that when Hinata is barely standing, Neji goes for the kill. When Bakugo is going for the kill and realizes Uraraka is already falling over, he stops attacking. This is the primary difference between Neji and Bakugo. Neji is a villain (minor though he may be) while Bakugo is just determined. Bakugo wanted to win, and wasn't afraid to go all-out for victory. But not at the extreme of purposefully trying to cause lasting damage. That maybe due again to the difference in tone, as the Chunin Exams are a death match while the UA Sports Festival is a broadcasted event, but I think this shows a major difference in Bakugou's values and morality. He's an arrogant prick, but one who still has a sense of morals and beliefs that keep in line with a hero's mindset. And frankly, I find Bakugo's character far more interesting as a result of this distinction in character.
naruto exam = kill or be killed
Rock lee vs Gaara still gives me chills
My fave tourney? Either Tournament of Power because it took a huge battle royale approach which doesn't happen too often as the finale (in this case the only) part of a tournament arc, or the Dark Tourney in YuYu Hakusho
rlly enjoyed this, was honestly expecting you to completely trash naruto but u actually gave rlly good insight compared them both fairly, nice
“Capture the flags on steroids” new favorite quote
Some interesting parallels there and a decent video overall but you lack perspective on a number of things about this comparison, a few of whichMatortheeternal pointed out. And since you yourself say that this is like apples to oranges even though they're both tournament arcs - the fundamental question rears itself - why compare them at all? Unless you had some grander, broad idea that you wanted to communicate through this video that I missed or forgot, comparing two plots with very different goals and approaches is strange and it left something to be desired in terms of taking everything into consideration, as I mentioned at the beginning.
Just My Opinion I don’t think their goals are all that distinguished tho tbh
So in conclusion: chunnin exam> tournament arc
I really don't know why but the cavalry battle was easily my favorite part of the tournament arc. It was just fun. But I think the training camp arc is my favorite MHA arc that's been animated so far.
THAT ENDING
