In the ongoing debate about which anime or manga is the best of all time, naruto has won another award that its fans are sure to add to their list of things that make it the best story ever told.
According to a recent X (formerly Twitter) post by Naruto superfan @dailyhokage, Naruto is not only one of the most searched pages in Wikipedia history in the category of “Movies and TV series” but also is the only manga or anime to appear on this list at all. It’s certainly a convincing, though somewhat ambiguous, metric for fans to enter into any conversation discussing the best manga/anime of all time. At least for Wikipedia, one of the most popular sources of information in the world, Naruto is the most searched manga/anime character.
Naruto is the most searched Anime/Manga on Wikipedia
If there’s one thing anime and manga fans love to do, it’s debating what’s the best series of all time. Beginning in the late 1990s, one of the fiercest debates of its kind developed among fans of Naruto, One Piece, Bleach – all of which began a few years apart, and Dragon Ball – debut about a decade earlier. As the four most popular manga/anime, it’s easy for fans to not only find what they like about their favorite series/characters, but also hear arguments about why the other series are good. than. The debate continues to this day largely because the four series are still active and relevant. Meanwhile, other series including Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer – to name a few – have been added to the debate and fueled disagreements.
Of course, Naruto’s popularity on Wikipedia is just one facet in a multifaceted and never-ending discussion in which any sign of Naruto’s “greatness” will be lost by one of his opponents. its against. That is to say, Naruto will always be the best for his fans and either hated or disliked by fans of other series. However, it is an interesting fact that definitely shows that manga/anime is an industry that is no longer part of the fringe pop culture of otaku, but has now become mainstream entertainment.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about this Wikipedia fact, instead of seeing Naruto alongside movies like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Harry Potter, are other hugely popular anime franchises like One Piece is missing from the list. sure, naruto fans will have a great time figuring out the reason for that, while fans of the other series will go to great lengths to refute this achievement.
