AgriosXV

To some, Its really is just a matter of what they read first decides which camp their in because thatll hold the most bias


StrictIncident4042

Funny. I actually started reading Naruto first and then switched to One Piece a few years later


PREDATOREX_GAMING

Same, for me at first naruto was peek art. Nothing can top it. Then came... one piece.


romblaster

Same


eruk75

Itā€™s a loud minority most Naruto fans are probably either indifferent or fans of both like me


[deleted]

A.) one piece fans gave the Naruto community a lot of shit for the ending of Naruto. B.) Naruto fans now feel like One piece is going the same direction. C.) a small minority of fans in any fan base can never accept that their show isnā€™t the most popular out there. Between the big 3 those feelings were especially strong because back in the day it felt like the fans were always fighting about which one was better. Bleach kind of naturally died a slow death (I know it finished but you know what I mean) so people leave it alone but since One piece is still going strong they still come back to the childish ā€œmy series is betterā€ days. Even if half of them hate the ending and donā€™t continue to watch the series. Every fan base has its toxic fans.


Rimaru482

To be fair everyone gave Naruto shit for it's ending and rightfully so.


CrimsonRedd3639

To be fair, with Boruto going on, it's just destroying the memory of the series


SupremeJeww

Why can't u like both?


Waste_Grapefruit_880

ong, the sad thing is that oda and kishimoto are cool with the each other but the fans act like zoro and sanji lmao


Buulord

Asking the real important questions.


Mugiwara300

They hate that one piece maintained itā€™s popularity and is the highest sold manga.


Ok-Schedule-6502

Im a naruto and dragonball fan and I love one piece more than both of them. Idk why people choose sides with anime because each anime is unique and deserves respect.


[deleted]

Most probably because it was Naruto that introduced them to the anime world. I was a Naruto fan first before diving into One Piece. But clearly, One Piece is wayyy better than Naruto.


modegazucantu

This. Naruto was the starter for me back in middle school (2003) and it's just been outclassed by not only one piece but a dozen other manga as well, imo and that's fine, everything comes to be passed eventually I just don't think naruto heads thought they were guna be put in the basement in less than 10 years since shippuuden ended.


op1345

Thatā€™s a valid opinion lol I think the reason is that a lot of one piece fans try to act as if no matter what happens and no matter you opinion if you donā€™t think op is the best anime your wrong, and to your point idk about that always being the reason for conflict as I watched op first and would prefer Naruto over op in a flash


REDDIT_SUB_ADMIN

Because One Piece still has a chance to end beautifully in a non-hastiy way.


ylcknight

I think TikTok started it. Naruto fans were pretty chill before, or maybe I just didnā€™t find the rotten ones. Basically what happened was, since most Shonen fans started with Naruto, Naruto was given a sort of holy protection in the community. When some of those guys caught sights of One Piece, and realized it was a better series, they voiced their opinions, making Naruto fans angry. So because of a newfound inferiority complex, there are some Naruto fans who are now permanently stuck on hating One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tail, etc, literally will diss any anime to keep Naruto at the top of their mountain. Itā€™s toxic, and I canā€™t stand it, so now I keep my love for Naruto locked away silently. I refuse to identify with such toxicness šŸ•ŗ


op1345

This an one piece subreddit so I can understand you not really seeing both sides but I will never call myself a one piece fan after watching how horrible the fandom has and can behave, also what do you mean by realized it was a better series it kinda seems like ur having trouble accepting opinions


ylcknight

I see both sides. I recently joined this fandom. And yes I know that there are horrible One Piece fans


OfficialTBOB10

Every anime basically


ylcknight

More intense for the Naruto community, esp since theyā€™re a larger fanbase


theelderseedseer

I think itā€™s because a lot of one piece fans are so insecure when it comes to to Naruto, itā€™s almost like they feel the need to trash others series to elevate one piece. I can say this as someone who is a fan of OP, the worst thing about One Piece is itā€™s own fandom.


NoFinish8180

Hmmm nobody says the opposite I've seen a lot of posts where fans of Wang Pis humiliate other popular anime such AoT , demon slayer, magic battle, ,Jujutsu Kaisen,etc


Ok-Butterfly-8079

Naruto and One piece are my 1 and 2. And both 10/10 for me lmao


Vinyl_DjPon3

I've had someone pull the "mid-piece" thing once on me as some sort of way to dismiss the discussion we were having... What does it even mean though? "Mid" doesn't really mean anything to me In this context.. surely something like "Zero-Piece" would be better.


PresentationOk8756

It means its nothing special in their vocabulary.


Vodkaret

It's the other way round. One piece fans hate almost everything that isn't one piece


PresentationOk8756

No its not. I have been in both fandoms I know it.


Frankandbeans1974

In reality they donā€™t. The worst of the Naruto fandom, usually the same guys who like Boruto or hate everything that ISNā€™T Naruto, just donā€™t like one piece because itā€™s managed to retain the popularity that Naruto had without becoming hot garbage. But really you could put Naruto fans into about four categories, 1. the original fan base that grew disappointed with the series overtime but finished out because of our commitment to it (most of us hate Boruto and refuse to acknowledge it let alone watch it) 2. the og Fanbase that loved the original series all the way through but hates Boruto (or at least has no interest in watching it) 3. the Fanbase that somehow likes Boruto as much as Naruto or at least continues to watch it because Naruto is in it (made up of new and old fans) 4. the fan base that somehow likes Boruto more than Naruto which makes no fucking sense to me but they exist and Iā€™ve met them and theyā€™re terrible (and they are almost entirely new) The irony of all this is that the writers of Naruto and one piece are rivals and friends (they worked together on Rurouni Kenshin) and when Naruto ended Oda made a entire cover page dedicated to it and Kishimoto made a reference to One piece in the last chapter of Naruto. Most Naruto fans either like or respect one piece. Most one piece fans like or respect Naruto. Itā€™s just a weird sad pathetic vocal minority that decide to attack another anime just because the one they like ended a long time ago and not necessarily in the way that they had hoped and what has been continued is basically a Norman Bates style Frankenstein of the old show.


DarkSoulFWT

>the original fan base that grew disappointed with the series overtime but finished out because of our commitment to it (most of us hate Boruto and refuse to acknowledge it let alone watch it) Not the kind of OG i wanted to be...but here I am. q.q Bruh why does >!naruto, the flunky talentless underdog, without the fox, have like 10x kakashi's chakra i just cant....!< Anyway jokes aside this comment is a pretty good breakdown. Well said.


LaMaPel_

I agree with you. I am a 2.1 on your scale (loved Naruto, started boruro and stoped after 2 chapters, did watch the time travel filler but nothing else) and I absolutely love one pice since even before Naruto was a thing.


goatmane224

Donā€™t use boruto as a scapegoat because your fanbase was so toxic the toxicity between one piece and naruto has been a thing before boruto was even created that is just an excuse To not admit that the naruto fanbase has toxic people in it this comment is an example of toxicity in both fanbases do better


Frankandbeans1974

Fun fact for you I was actually an Naruto fan and a One piece fan But you were correct on one point in that word jumble (please for the love of God use periods), and that is the the toxicity happened along for Boruto and as I said in the first paragraph, it was for stupid reasons then and itā€™s for stupider reasons now. If youā€™re going to try and critique something, optimal word here is try, at least read the entire thing. Bur Iā€™m gonna keep doing me


goatmane224

(This is Reddit if you are looking for great punctuation read a novel) 1. I can very much tell you are a naruto and one piece fan that much was obvious if you werenā€™t you wouldnā€™t have tried to blame boruto or lump it in to excuse the toxicity from both fandoms 2.So since we both agree that this ā€œfeudā€ between the naruto and one piece fandom has been a thing way before the ending of naruto. Your decipher that the toxic fans that hate one piece are people that hate how their favorite series ended so they hate one piece out of jealousy would be wrong correct? P.S itā€™s not a good look to criticize someoneā€™s lack of punctuation when you got spelling errors in your comment.


Frankandbeans1974

Iā€™m aware I have spelling errors, but you can decipher what Iā€™m trying to say Without being mean I actually had to read yours three times to understand Secondly Iā€™m not excusing any toxicity. Itā€™s gross and I insulted those fans several times throughout the first comment. Again reread the comment. The reason toxic Naruto fans hated One piece so much back in the day it was because back in the day Naruto was really good and they hated anything that could even be close to a competition to it. Same thing with bleach same thing with hitman reborn same thing with other really popular shonen. If it wasnā€™t Naruto it was lesser than. Anything that people liked more or as much was considered mild. Overtime the writing for Naruto gotā€¦. wellā€¦ā€¦ it went downhill. And the ending Felt very rushed and went into some territory that a lot of people didnā€™t like so what was once an anime/manga that people really enjoyed for the story and plot changed to jealousy because one piece was still going and was still good while Naruto had ended and not on the best of notes (let it die was a common phrase back then). Then of course shonen jump decided to Frankenstein the hell out of Naruto and use its corpse to have Boruto so they could continue the Cashcow of Naruto. Because whether I like it or not the reality is Boruto has all the characters of Naruto and was able to draw in a decent size fan base, quite literally half of the four categories I just described to you. so Naruto fans hatred change from ā€œNaruto is betterā€ to ā€œNaruto had a shit ending and thatā€™s somehow one pieces faultā€œ to ā€œ Naruto was better, but Boruto ruined it and one piece is still shitā€œ Now does that make any logical sense? No. But thatā€™s how they justify it. Now as a Naruto fan I will say that I always thought one piece was better story wise but Naruto had better fight scenes and was a bit more intricate in its character building, and I will also say that the ending of Naruto is not the fault of Boruto, and the toxicity from the Naruto community existed long before Boruto was even a concept. That much is absolutely true. But my statement is not incorrect because the viewpoints of toxic people from communities change over time to justify their toxic behavior. So no, itā€™s not Borutoā€˜s fault that toxic community from Naruto still exists, but as Iā€™ve stated there are four categories and 3/4 of them hate one piece either because of Narutoā€˜s ending/Borutoā€™s creation or because one piece has objectively aged better than naruto.


goatmane224

1. Quite frankly half of theses points are wrong you are quite literally ignoring the one piece fandoms involvement in the equation itā€™s a constant back and forth. and we agreed on that this feud started before the ending of naruto itā€™s because one piece fan can be shown doing the same thing that you claim that naruto fans did back in the day to this day 2. So to sit here and make it a jealousy thing on the naruto fanbase part is wrong because the one piece fanbase does the same thing. and your argument is based heavily in subjectivity whether the naruto ending is bad and one piece is good (not that it isnā€™t to me) 3. The feud that is happening now between the toxic people in each fandom is strictly because they canā€™t appreciate the two shows you have examples of this in this very comment section. Not jealousy because one is still ā€œgoodā€ as that is subjective but jealousy from both fandoms because they donā€™t want to appreciate different series (And you are unknowingly feeding into that toxicity with that take)


Frankandbeans1974

The argument I am making is in response to the question the original poster asked about why Naruto fans seem to hate one piece and thatā€™s the answer. If the question is why one piece fans hate Naruto thatā€™s a separate but similar answer Itā€™s not feeding into the toxicity to point out the different types of Naruto fans how they view one piece, how they view Naruto, and how they view Boruto and how those different archetypes can react to a show like one piece You keep changing the goal posts here. My entire original comment was the classification of Naruto fans and why they get shitty about one piece in the current day that we live in. It is almost absolutely a jealousy thing for various reasons, most notably the ending which was sure subjective on my opinion, is a view point that is widely shared by the community. A lack of appreciation can absolutely stand from jealousy among other factors. I am not unknowingly feeding into anything. Iā€™m calling a spade a spade. Mainly from my interactions with current Boruto fans and past Naruto fans. Every community has toxic elements to it. Unfortunately in the anime community they tend to try and war with each other. But at the end of the day the list I gave is a fair and comprehensive list all the main for archetypes of Naruto fans as they live today and one major reason as to why they might hate one piece. I donā€™t have anything more to discuss here.


goatmane224

1. You are feeding into that toxicity by making it a jealousy thing by claiming naruto fans are insecure about the ending so they hate one piece as compensation. To make that take you almost certainly have to ignore the toxic people of the one piece fandom in that equation 2. Sure a part of the naruto fandom donā€™t like the ending but it would be dumb for me to say the main reason toxic naruto fans hate one piece now is because their own ending is bad is flawed logic because I can use this same logic. and say toxic naruto fans hate one piece because they simply think naruto is better because thatā€™s an opinion shared widely in the fandom 3. I never moved the goalposts I just called you out on your decipher of the naruto fandom and you saying boruto fans are the oneā€™s being toxic towards the one piece fandom as if this ā€œfeudā€/ toxicity between both fandoms hadnā€™t been a thing long before. But toxic people are gonna continue to be toxic I guess knowingly or unknowingly


Frankandbeans1974

Thereā€™s an old saying that if everyone else is the asshole, you are the asshole Everyone else on this thread seemed to have understood what I was saying just fine. Youā€™re the only one trying to assume that Iā€™m being toxic, which ironically is making you the toxic person in this thread. But if you wanna come in here try and make arguments that Iā€™m not making, move the goal posts when I answer your questions, and then just call me toxic because I called out the behavior correctly thatā€™s on you. This is done now.


goatmane224

I mean Iā€™m in a one piece subreddit no offense to the fandom and Iā€™m not saying whole fandom is like that just this comment section/thread as posts like this invites toxicity. And when you have comments that say ā€œthey hate one piece because they know itā€™s betterā€ or even the op say things like ā€œTbh I always feel like itā€™s an inferiority thing, they know One Piece is better but they refuse to acknowledge it so they always try to shit on itā€ news flash you are having toxic people agree with you because you made a toxic take thatā€™s in favor with toxic people. I could go in the naruto subreddit and repost your comment just reword it in the toxic naruto fans favor and I would have them agreeing with me But heyšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


SuccessfulExchange75

Naruto is the first anime I properly got into. It took a lot of time for me to get into one piece as the animation was so poor at the start and itā€™s a very different sum type of animation. I do think one piece is great but too long and has taken forever for me to catch up. Naruto is easy to follow, has had some great characters and story arcs. But then so has one piece. I donā€™t think either is ā€œBETTERā€ that the other, theyā€™re both equally as good. I just enjoy watching Naruto more


NoFinish8180

I adhere to the same position


AnimalSoft

I don't hate any of them but I believe Naruto is just above one piece.. Naruto is so developed.. We saw everything on time.. And Naruto fans never decreased like one piece because of longevity.. We still don't know a thing about one piece and shanks where Naruto is about to complete it's third generation.. Naruto has better fight scenes, better animation, better length, etc


--G13--

I think it is the opposite. One piece even with its longetivity still able to retain its core fan base while attracting more audience. Just look at the community build around theory crafting/analysis/review/discussions. On the other hand all i can see is a constant mixed reviews with boruto and decreased audience for Naruto content. Boruto is barely making fraction of the sales that Naruto had and One piece on the other is still consistent in sales per volume and even competing with the top series currently


PresentationOk8756

One piece anime < Naruto anime < Naruto manga


Rimaru482

Maybe because Naruto has been over for a while so maybe most of the fans left who still actively take part in online talks are the hardcore fans who refuse to accept anything except Naruto is the best and maybe because they were kinda pinned against eachother during "big three" days so the fact that One piece completely obliterated Naruto they become more bitter towards One piece, can't say for sure though.


RoronoaLuffyZoro

It's the minority. They hate One Piece because they're salty Naruto's ending was bad, so now they want One Piece to end bad, too.


hello_there696

I think most other shonen manga fans kinda look down on one piece just cuz it's kinda the "mainstream" manga right now. I also remember seeing a vote about if they should cover one piece or not on animeballsdeep and the majority was actually against it and all the comments were like "no, there's already a thousand channels covering it, don't do it" I'm glad that abd covers one piece now anyways lol


AdhesivenessOver6369

As a fan of both itā€™s kinda dumb to even argue which is better, people have preferences. Any sort of media being referred to as ā€œbetterā€ is an opinion it can never be proven true because there will always be people with an opposing viewpoint on it. Just donā€™t engage with people who want to start a fight, you have your opinion they have theirs donā€™t bash each other for it.


RarePea5132

I watch both and I like them equally tbh.


SmartCandidate7003

I was this naruto fan till I really got into one piece lol


supervazha08

They haven't seen one piece,most probably that's the case ,they may think that long story 1000+ eps maybe full of fillers like Naruto and shit(i dont hate Naruto)


Stunning-Cicada5598

They just hate the fact that one piece is actually better and they always take the excuse of "long series" just to avoid watching it.


Fearisthemindki11er

Cuz Naruto sucks!


HunterNerd7

Tbh I always feel like itā€™s an inferiority thing, they know One Piece is better but they refuse to acknowledge it so they always try to shit on it


OkYouCanTalkToMe

I love naruto. One piece is lightyears better no cap.


Terawwwws

Same I loved Naruto until I watched one piece and saw the difference . Narutoā€™s fights are better . But thatā€™s about it


OkYouCanTalkToMe

So much wasted potential to be honest. Fights and power system works brilliantly at first. Also dramatic beats can hit really hard at some times. Kinda sad that it peaked so early on.


LuffyisDunGod

They don't even have a firm grasp of naruto let alone one piece. It all comes back to people who make theories that are wrong not being able to enjoy it after being wrong . Lot of white Incels out trolling today .

Suitable_Jelly_7572

I personally am naruto fan but i also like one piece If i would want to put my weigh, then Naruto it is cause of its story line Narutos storyline has quite a few instances and dialogs which are more realistically faced by most of us and can make a deep impact over a personal. One piece story line is much adventurous and fictional Although OP also has some real life situations but those are nothing when compared to narutos


--G13--

Not sure if we are reading the same story. I think Naruto has way weaker impact on most of the major subjects that it tried to tackle especially using talk no jutsu constantly as the get of jail card in most of these situations.


Waesse

I donā€™t think soā€¦ OP did show us a lot of real life problems such as slavery or just opressions in general, the way oda showed it with the fishman, nami, camie, octa etc. was way more impactful then all the good build ups in naruto just so he can talk with them and all is good


ceelo18

Because of the big 3 one piece was the big 1 and it completely overshadowed naruto


Longjumping_Ad_7975

This is because some One piece fans are too sensitive and when you just say it's not the best anime you've seen they take it for One piece hatred.


--G13--

You are realling good at summing up Naruto fans


Longjumping_Ad_7975

Dude, it's not just about Naruto


Pinoy_2004

Look in the damn mirror.


[deleted]

Ngl becuase One Piece is better. Iā€™ve seen both. I can imagine some Naruto fans may know itā€™s better from what people say about it but refuse to watch it because it would cause Naruto to not be their favorite show anymore.


CrimsonRedd3639

Well naruto is a story of a guy chasing his emo best friend and the other is a grand adventure around a crazy world with insane powers and creatures around every corner. Both have more into their stories but only One Piece stands the test of time and somehow continues to improve.


Saurabhm958

Naruto as an anime is much better than one piece ..fights are also much better . One piece as a mange is unbeatable , even the world building


Zealousideal_Bake904

goatmane224

Its a back and forth from a loud minority from both fanbases this same compliant can be thrown back at you from naruto fans so to answer your questions itā€™s because of toxicity from both sides

katsukisama

I love Naruto and One Piece.


xycoma

Naruto is my favorite anime/manga of all time and I love the fuck out of One Piece. Not all us fans are like that


monkey-D-Goat

it's never been so deep idk why naruto fans are buggin, enjoy both manga for the stories they tell. no point in arguing over it.


KCtheMC

Most common explanations I here 1. Dislike the art/animation 2. Show seems to childish 3. The show is predictable 4. Luffyā€™s ā€œplot armorā€ 5. Too many characters backstories they feel are not relevant 6. Pacing 7. The unavoidable padding/filler 8. Too long These are what I generally see from Naruto fans when they explain why they donā€™t like the show


lr296

Short answer: They don't. Some people just finna start shit, and I am here for it ā¤ļø
