how you the GOAT, and never have been the face of your own magazine(weekly shonen jump)
or never went #1 in sales in japan(even Death note beat One Piece one time) Naruto at best went #2 if not just barely made #4 or 5 in sales
Naruto is not the GOAT of its gen it will always be the 2nd /side kick/little brother to One Piece which is the true GOAT of its gen and will go down as the GOAT of shonen manga
Naruto's impact globally is undeniable. nikkas weren't out here imitating devil fruit powers and shyt, everyone was doing hand seals. One Piece is immensely popular in japan, but Naruto was poppin in Japan and the West. Naruto is more iconic that Luffy is.
and Dragonball is the GOAT shonen anyway. In terms of impact and influence it tops both Naruto and OP
