Exploring the reasons behind Jujutsu Kaisen’s triumph over One Piece 

Jujutsu Kaisen managed to accomplish a feat that is deemed impossible in the manga world when it dethroned One Piece on the Shueisha’s Manga Plus platform in terms of views. But the manga buffs believe that its success is short-lived. The fans are convinced that Gege Akutami’s manga Jujutsu Kaisen being in the final arc has managed to appeal to the readers. Additionally, the battle trope between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna and the former’s death has also contributed to readers’ mounting fascination with the series.   

On the other hand, One Piece’s Egghead arc did not pull off as much hype as expected. 

The pace of both the manga series is also very contrasting given how Jujutsu Kaisen is a fast-paced and tightly knit series that keeps the readers constantly hooked while One Piece often takes on a detailed approach that frequently focuses on character development and story building with pursuit of dreams and freedom being the central theme thus painting an elaborate picture in the minds of the readers. 

With Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen approaching its ending as soon as December 2023 the fans can enjoy the healthy Barbenheimer like clash between One Plus and Jujutsu Kaisen.
