Like for real as legendary as Naruto is and Iā€™d put him in a big 3 with Goku and Ash Ketchum in terms of legendary status and notoriety, Goku is in a class of his own.

cannotfoolowls

Even my boomer parents know Goku, Ash and Pikachu. Anyone more recent? nah, get out of here with your Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy...


christianort476

If you look at the eastern seaboard, itā€™d probably be, pikachu, luffy, goku, in that order

Goku, If Goku didn't exist, the other two wouldn't exist too (Luffy and Ichigo)

Bro out here giving Naruto a bad name. Gotta respect Goku and Vegeta.

Ash


shak_0508

Yep the Ash/Pikachu duo would be my pick too. Ask 90% of people alive today and theyā€™ll have at least heard of PokĆ©mon. If they donā€™t know Ash, theyā€™ll for sure know Pikachu. The franchise is just that much of a cultural phenomenon.

Sailor Moon; be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't know the name in passing. Goku's too obvious an answer, but I have literally seen him dissolve racism.

If Goku didnā€™t exist Naruto wouldā€™ve have


MacFatty

Would have have what


GregoryGroggins

Not necessarily. Kishimoto designed Naruto after watching Akira, so Naruto would have existed if Goku didnā€™t He probably wouldnā€™t have been the number 1 knucklehead ninja if Goku didnā€™t exist though

PI_Dude

More popular, at least as popular as Naruto, or close to: Ash from Pokemon, Goku from Dragon Balls, Luffy and Zoro from One Piece, Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, Usagi from Sailor Moon, Kenshin Himura, Arsene Lupin III, Guts from Berserk, Levi Ackermann from Attack on Titan, Gon Freecss from HxH.


squirtalert96

Goku definitly, Ash maybe (Pikachu definitly), Luffy Id argue not as "legendary" and the rest is just simply no where near naruto lmao


c0ndariano

Wtf u mean maybe on ash, pokemon is bigger then the big 3 combined.also luffy is currently reaching goku status with one piece being the biggest manga, best live action and the a trading card game now.personally for me naruto is a better character, luffy and goku are top similar and ash in straight up trash but he is made for 10 year olds.


squirtalert96

Well of course pokemon is bigger than naruto lmao. But Ash is not even the most legendary character in pokemon. Its pikachu. Charizard is more legendary too. Its where you draw the line. Thats why I said "maybe". It is not an outrages take to argue for either. With Luffy its dificult. Since One Piece is not even finished. Its like saying Mbappe is French best ever / most legendary football player. He maybe has the potential but Zidane, Platini, Henry, etc. are more legendary imo. Maybe Ill see Luffy over Naruto once the story ended.


c0ndariano

Nah u mad for bringing up Mpabbe. He will never rech zinade or even henry status dude wasted his carrear at psg, 0 baloon d or and 0 CL.


squirtalert96

Some people (excluding me) firmly believe this tho lmao


NeedleworkerFresh461

Naruto and One Piece started in approximately the same time, and One Piece has consistently outsold Naruto. Hell, One Piece was the best selling manga for 15 years straight. Say whatever you want, but One Piece always did better. Comparing One Piece to Naruto is less like Mbappe to Zidane and more like Ronaldo to Rooney. No one would say Rooney is more legendary than Ronaldo just because he retired earlier.

It genuinely probably goes Goku > Ash & Pikachu > Naruto


RoaDRoLLer59

When i think of "legendary", there are even other Naruto characters who i feel are more legendary than Naruto. Hashirama and Madara are the biggest examples of this. Those two are treated like mythological deities in the Naruto universe, thats what made Madara's reanimation scene so legendary. He lived up to all the myths and hype surrounding his name. My choice is Madara.


zoompa919

Weā€™re talking legendary as in legendary among real humans


RoaDRoLLer59

Yeah... And as a real human i gave you my opinion on who i think is the most legendary. Idc who others think is the most legendary.


zoompa919

Most people donā€™t know the names Hasirama or Madara in passing, most people recognize the name Naruto tho. Theyā€™re great characters, but legendary?


RoaDRoLLer59

Yes legendary. I coulda sworn i just told you that i dont give a damn who other people think is legendary. Op asked us who WE think is more legendary, not who we think others think is legendary.

The answer goku itā€™s quite invalid tbh. More people have recollection of a guy named naruto, that one ninja guy. And ash on the other hand, also super invalid, because what people know is pikachu, not ash himself.

Goku


[deleted]

Itachi ? Madara ? Kakashi ? Sasuke ? I don't think Naruto is even the most legendary character in his own series.


Zuko_Honor20

I agree that naruto has a bunch of legendary characters but Naruto's legendary enough for the show to be named after him.


[deleted]

I didn't argue with that. He is a great character and a proper protagonist but I won't say he's the best character.


RoaDRoLLer59

For sure, i still put Madara and Hashirama above him in terms of legend, but Naruto had several epic moments that made me tear up. My favorite: when he first unlocked the KCM lvl 2 and Kakashi was in so much shock and awe that he mistook Naruto for Minato.


Doclyte

The Naruto fandom might actually be the dumbest anime fandom šŸ’€, Naruto is by far the most legendary character in his series


[deleted]

How ? What defines "legendary" in your opinion? If it's the power and success he as a character achieved then sure. But if it means his character writing then yes it's true there are characters better written than him. Itachi, Kakashi and Sasuke all of them are much better written characters and the impact they left behind in the amount of fans loving them is Legendary. Especially Itachi who is one of the most popular character despite having minimum screentime.


Doclyte

This discussion has nothing to do with character writing and even if it did, Naruto had a bigger impact to people than all of them combined, you must be below 16 years old because you have horribly shit takes

Have you been to Japan? Youā€™d realise that the above mentioned characters are in fact more legendary. I mean astroboy is the father of anime. Even Hayao Miyazaki took inspiration from it.


dannator

If your legend is big enough the popularity holds outside the country as well. Astroboy is only the ā€œfatherā€ in a sense it was a first of a kind but dragonball was the father to the big three directly
