IShowSpeed Says This Anime Totally Outshines ‘Naruto’
YouTube star IShowSpeed is making waves again, this time with a bold statement about anime. Known for his high-energy streams, Speed has long been a devoted fan of One Piece. During a recent IRL livestream, he encountered a Naruto fan holding a sign claiming, “Naruto is better than One Piece.” His reaction was immediate and confident.
“I would say Luffy would win in a 1v1 against Naruto,” Speed told the fan, showing just how serious he is about his favorite series. His dedication to One Piece is clear, his YouTube banner features the show, and he owns a collection of Luffy figurines.

Speed went further, claiming that One Piece surpasses Naruto in every possible way. He emphasized the story’s world-building, praising how creator Eiichiro Oda weaves together islands, arcs, and histories into a vast, interconnected world. In his eyes, Naruto can’t compete with that level of complexity.
The characters of One Piece also stand out to him. Speed described the cast, from Luffy to Zoro and even minor characters, as having more depth and personality than Naruto’s roster. For him, it’s these characters that make the story enduring. He also noted the anime’s long runtime of over 1,000 episodes, viewing it not as a burden but as a chance to enjoy the world and characters even more.
Fans on social media have reacted strongly to Speed’s opinions. Some agree with his passionate take, while others defend Naruto, sparking lively debates across various platforms.
Speed’s enthusiasm shows just how personal and passionate anime fandoms can be. Whether you side with One Piece or Naruto, it’s fun to see creators and fans share their love for these stories. What do you think?
