Hunter x HunterandOne Piecehave achieved iconic status for their respective series. However, an overflow in online discussions has brought to light a growing sentiment amongHunter x Hunterfans. They believe that Yoshihiro Togashi’s magnum opus can surpass Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece.
The argument put forth byHunter x Hunterfans is that Togashi’s work represents a peak in the Shonen genre. Some of the key aspects that perceived its strengths are character development, narrative complexity, power system, and world-building. And where they feel thatOne Piecefalls short, is on all those aspects.
Hunter x Hunter’s Characters Path Explores More Than One Piece
Fans praiseYoshihiro Togashi‘sHunter x Huntercharacter development. The series is known for its focused narrative and psychological depth. It avoids unnecessary subplots that might detract from the main story. That allowed for more exploration of the characters’ motivation and growth.
On the other hand, some feel thatEiichiro Oda‘sOne Piecehas lost its way, particularly in its post-time skip arcs. Fans argue that the story has become mostly Luffy-centric. Neglecting the growth and evolution of other Straw Hat crew members.
The narrative structure ofHunter x Hunteris often cited as superior because of its ability to seamlessly switch between main characters and story arcs. The result created by the switching is a more diverse and unpredictable narrative.

Moreover, it also gets praised for its willingness to tackle the darker aspects of human nature. The battle betweenNetero and Meruemshowcased what humans can do to achieve their goals. Thus, creating a more mature experience for readers.
Power System of Hunter x Hunter vs World-Building of One Piece
Unlike many Shonen power systems, Nen is presented as an ability that has advantages as well as drawbacks. The power creates more strategic depth in battles, as individuals must carefully consider the consequences of their abilities. Nen hierarchy is both complex and balanced.
Whereas,One Piece‘s Haki and Devil Fruits are sometimes blamed for lacking the same level of balance. Some fans indicated that its battles are often boiled down to who has the stronger ability or willpower. Rather than the clever application of powers in a detailed manner.
The world-building ofOne Piecehas been marvelously depicted. But someHunter x Huntersupporters contend that the introduction of the Dark Continent arc has elevated its world to a new level. The introduction of the new arc rivals or even surpasses the grand world ofOne Piece.

Hunter x Hunteris known for its realism despite its fantastical elements. The political, economic, and societal structures feel more grounded than those in many other Shonen series. It seems that both series have their own weakness and strengths that make them equally unique and popular.
Hunter x HunterandOne Pieceare currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
