Clear in what? The side character development is mid. Your villains are all edgelord emos, with Pain being the possible exception, but then Nagato is revealed. So gg.
I don't think it's fair to Naruto to compare it to as grand of a manga like One Piece. I can appreciate Naruto for what it was. Naruto's competition is against something like Black Clover.
Lets go through the villain roster of Naruto and compare it to One Piece k?
Every Naruto villain actually has bodies, in flashbacks, AND ON SCREEN.
Naruto villains aren't lames like OP ones
Zabuza vs Alvida, Krieg and Morgans
Zabuza claps writing wise
Haku vs Arlong
Sorry Haku is just better and colder
Shikaku Gaara vs Smoker
Sorry Smoker Gaara is colder and has better fights
Sound 4, Kimimaro, Sound Village and Orochimaru vs Baroque Works
Sorry Croco boy Orochimaru actually killed people, something your incompetent ass couldn't do
(this is where OP villains Peak btw)
Sasori and Deidara are cooler than Enel
Kakuzu and Hidan gave the coldest Shikamaru moments
Lucci is bland asf only propped up higher thanks to Robins character arc
W Hidan
Pain vs Moria
Pain not even close
War Arc Madara vs Marineford Akainu
Sorry War Arc Madara , Marineford Akainu, was better than you.
1/8 for OP 7/8 for Naruto villain wise
