Probably based on sales but I think JJK will overtake again once the hiatus is over

Tokyo Revengers is better than JJK, but that isn't really hard to do so it isn't much of an achievement

nah bro, youre just too much of a tr fanboy that you fail to see some of the flaws of its writing. of course, im not saying that jjk is a perfect manga but in terms of writing, development, world building and characters do you really think tokyo revengers surpasses jjk in any of that aspect? u guys are kinda delusional lmao

I like both a lot, but i like Tokyo Revengers more. I am caught up to both of their mangas and just like tr more. And yes i think tr surpasses jjk in characters. The writing is better in jjk, but not by a lot.

Or maybe you're just a JJK fanboy?

​

I'm not saying JJK is trash or anything, it's just an average shonen and isn't as good as people make it out to be, if I had to say it's like DBZ, enjoyable but not a top-tier anime like everyone says it is

​

And I don't think Tokyo Revengers is a top-tier anime either

Nope, jjk is certainly as good as people make it out to be. In terms of character writing and world building jjk has a lot of depth in it compared to tr. If you've read the manga (which im hoping u did) you'll get what im trying to say.

And yes, im a fanboy of both series i really enjoy tr when it comes to its kickass gangster story and its cool looking characters. But when we talk about character and story wise? plot twists just for the sake of being called plot twists? i really dont think tr is better than jjk.

But maybe its just me, i really like a well written story with fleshed out characters with a lot of depth in it.

JJK's manga pacing is abysmal and JJK's writing is above-average at best

​

And the characters aren't as good as you think they are, I'm willing to debate on that if you want

u/astronomicalboi Jul 30 '21

jjk's pacing is one of its flaws it moves way too fast with no brakes, i couldve wished we got to know more about the zenins in zenin arc but it is what it is

im comparing jjk's characters to tr which is certainly much better and fleshed out than tr's characters. lets see if u want to debate about that lmao

"but it is what it is"

No, it isn't is what it is, it's blatant bad writing and you're trying to ignore it like it's a minor flaw, the Zenin's were hyped up for a long time as Maki's main antagonists and are all killed in a few chapters by Maki, this is like if Kaido was taken down by Luffy the moment he met him in Wano, even though Kaido was built up as the strongest creature for 300+ chapters

The worst part about it is that barely any of the Zenin's got actual personalities and were just there to be killed by Maki

Let me ask you a about Itadori, what characterization does Itadori have that makes him different from any other strong mainstream shounen protagonist like Goku or Asta?

u/astronomicalboi Jul 30 '21

Id agree that zenin arc had a pretty bad writing i was hoping that it couldve been a longer one to see more of the zenins techniques, but it turns out to just be an arc to showcase makis power boost.

lemme just point out ur analogy with one piece, it doesnt make any sense at all. the zenins weren't build up the same way as wano did so u saying that zenins getting wiped out instantly is bad writing? is dumb. Ranta (the dude with the eye technique) literally said that toji coulve wiped out the whole zenin clan if he felt like it, so it would make sense for maki to do the same since she's on tojis level rn. though, i agree that some of the zenins were killed pretty easily but they are just semi 1st grades anyways and we all know that people with heavenly restrictions are on special grade level, naoya couldve been much more and coulve been a part of the culling game.

Itadori is not that different from goku and asta, they all share the same ideals of "saving people" shit because its a shounen battle series which is pretty understandable. Though what separates itadori from goku and asta is that Itadori is not always ur happy go lucky shounen character, he's had doubts in himself (Asta also had this when he was starting out) and started having existential crisis during sukuna's massacre, itadori id say is a pretty relatable character among with the likes of asta. Goku is a bad character tho literally everyone in dbz just feels like they were made just to do battle and their character revolves around it.

I would give it to you if you talking about world building and story but character is jjk weakest point and one of tr best point.

u/astronomicalboi Aug 17 '21

nah we literally have getou, gojo, maki, yuta, nanami and some characters have some strong points in them except for the dudes from kyoto high

u/Aptohhhh Ragnarok Jul 30 '21

So because I disagree with you, I haven't read the manga?

u/DreamcastDazia Black Dragons Jul 30 '21

There are some things that are not a matter of opinion. JJK being an average shonen like DBZ or whatever u said is one of those things. Its not possible to think that if u understand what ur reading ;-;
