When it comes to iconic battles in shonen manga, Naruto vs Sasuke is one that stands tall among them all. This iconic battle took place in the original manga in 2014 and was instantly established as one of the very best in manga history. Naruto vs Sasuke lasted several chapters and delivered what at the time was considered the best manga battle of all time. This battle was further elevated in the anime version of things, which dropped around 2016, and is remembered to this day as one of the greatest animated fights of all time.
But times have moved on since then, and many new battles have emerged. One such series is Jujutsu Kaisenwhich particularly specializes in delivering high-level combat. It is this manga that the perfect replacement for Naruto vs Sasuke is coming, and that is the battle of Gojo vs Sukunawhich should animate immediately upon completion of the Culling Game in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Naruto vs Sasuke was the best Shonen battle at one point
The end of an era for Naruto
The battle between Naruto and Sasuke was teased in the story for a very long time. Naruto vs. Sasuke was always going to happen, since the two were always on opposite ends in terms of ideologies. Kishimoto made sure that Naruto and Sasuke were polar opposites, but best friends at the same time, and this is what made their dynamic incredibly special. Naruto and Sasuke would die for each other, but the paths they took put them at odds with each other. While Naruto wanted to save a friend, Sasuke wanted to break all their ties and eventually establish a new world order based on his own vision.
Their clash eventually occurred in the story and was brought to life in the anime by the likes of Hiroyuki Yamashita, one of the legendary figures in the industry. It goes without saying that this fight was truly special and is believed to have stood the test of time. It's still one of the greatest fighters of all time, nearly ten years later.
Naruto, you are my best friend, and that's why I have to kill you. —Sasuke Uchiha
Gojo vs Sukuna will dethrone Naruto vs Sasuke
The best next generation Shonen Battle
While Naruto vs Sasuke had its moment under the sun, now is the time for another iconic shonen fight to shine as the greatest of the modern era, and this fight is Gojo vs Sukuna. Just like Naruto vs Sasuke, Gojo vs Sukuna was teased right at the beginning of the series. The first moment Ryomen Sukuna appeared in the story, a fight against Gojo was set up by the author. This battle eventually took place in the manga right at the end. While the manga part of the battle was incredibly awesome, the anime will take it to the next level once it takes on this task and animates it.
Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen is in the Culling Game arc of the anime, and Season 3 should mark the end of this incredible arc. This means that the next part of the anime will be when Gojo vs Sukuna finally unfolds, and without a doubt it will be one of the greatest animated battles of all time. Be it in the form of a movie or in a seasonal TV anime, Gojo vs Sukuna will shock all fans and deliver battles that they have never seen before. It's already an iconic battle in modern manga that's easily the best out there, and now it's time for it to shine in anime form as well.
Gojo vs Sukuna has better action but Naruto vs Sasuke is more emotionally charged
When it comes to action, it goes without saying that Gojo vs Sukuna has the better battle. This fight is truly filled with amazing action moments and it takes Jujutsu Sorcery to its absolute pinnacle. The intensity of the fight that Gojo vs Sukuna will deliver will surely be greater than Naruto vs Sasuke. But in terms of emotional impact and everything else, Naruto vs Sasuke will always remain the most iconic anime battle of all time. Fans will never really forget the impact it had on the anime industry as a whole.
