There always has been a constant debate between Naruto and One Piece, even though One Piece started way after Naruto. Naruto is now a finished chapter, so does the fan war end here? The answer is a resounding NO! Boruto VS One Piece is the latest Twitter fan clash.
Boruto VS One Piece: Which Is Better? Boruto’s Cover Picture Or Luffy’s Gear 5 Transformation?
Fans’ reactions to Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation, shown in One Piece Episode 1071, have been divided. While some One Piece fans believe it was fantastic, with once-in-a-lifetime animation, others feel it could have been better.

The voice acting was perfect and the animation was phenomenal but I'm disappointed… gear5 was way more powerful in manga. The pacing of the episode was very bad and messy…g5 in 1071 lacked the depth and meaning it had it manga☹ it lacked emotion— tond (@zanekhashen) August 6, 2023
Reddit User u/DrBraniac says on One Piece Episode 1071:
“The scene when luffy defends himself from blast breath with the ground…the only reason I understood that scene is because I’ve read the manga otherwise that was just incomprehensible”
So what’s the Boruto VS One Piece fan war all about?
Boruto’s official manga cover has been finally released eight days before the release of Boruto Chapter 81. Boruto fans are specifically excited about this, as this chapter will officially enter the time skip arc of Boruto. Recently few enraging comparison posts of Boruto VS One Piece have stirred up a mini-war in both the fandom.

Boruto’s latest manga cover had the fans swept off their feet. Fans are beginning to trust Mikio Ikemoto’s sketches and waiting for more character design reveals. Another exciting factor for the entire Boruto fandom, and may we include the Naruto fandom, is Masashi Kishimoto will continue to write the plot for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

Boruto fans, in the latest clash of Boruto VS One Piece, claim that One Piece won’t be able to reach the level of Naruto and Boruto storylines and have accused One Piece of being a cheap copy of “Tom and Jerry.”
“Not even surprising considering that fight was Tom and Jerry cheap copyOne piece will never reach this level sadly Naruto and Boruto on their off days still manages to trend more than one piece most hype moment“

Also, according to Boruto fans, despite a 3-month break, Boruto’s return is generating some buzz online, even with the release of merely the cover image.
It has only been 2 hours, it’s just a random cover, all after 3 months of hiatus And Boruto STILL manages to trend worldwide. THERE’S LEVELS

As One Piece issues are released every week, the One Piece fans defended themselves by arguing that they didn’t need to blow up a simple manga cover in the Boruto VS One Piece clash.
“Op is almost weekly, why would the op fandom hype up a cover? Like cmon this shows been on hiatus and “the timeskip that will break the internet” supposedly is coming. The reasons are quite clear”

“No one asked + Stop comparing + Kishimoto and Oda are friends + Kishi and Oda wouldn’t want this + This is probably bait + L + Real Naruto fans would stop the cycle of hatred like the series they claim to love tried to teach them.”@Moriadagoat
Final Thoughts
When One Piece started its journey, Masashi Kishimoto issued a special message for Eiichiro Oda, congratulating him on his series, and Eiichiro Oda has always made it clear that Naruto has inspired him a lotto create One Piece. The debates of Boruto VS One Piece and sly digs at each other may continue in the future, nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how Boruto: Two Blue Vortex surpasses One Piece.
