What is the superior form of longterm story telling, rivalry (like Naruto, BC) or mystery box (One Piece)?

BC's "rivalry" seems contrived as shit
Eli Murphy
To be fair One Piece has Coby
Jacob Thompson
Does he acually do anything though?The most I remember is that he befriended that spoiled kid in the marines and then they got yelled at by the dog general.
Gavin Cruz
The problem is Yuno has no character
Isaiah Green
I watched the anime until they meet the king. What have I missed?
Jace Phillips
>Coby
Who?
David Myers
It's not contrived, but it is shitty.
>Hey Asta, I'm gonna be the Wizard King
>NO! I'M GONNA BE THE WIZARD KING (gains power-up)
>Heh, I want lose to you (gains power-up)
Alexander Taylor
Coby awakened Haki and after the time-skip he holds a captain rank.
Nowhere near Luffy's level but he is still following his own path and may clash with him later.
Wyatt Williams
Splitting into parts
Daniel Moore
>(Gains the very same power up)

Mystery Box. No contest.
At least with a static Macguffin you don’t have to keep dragging out a contrived reason for two characters on separate paths to maintaining a childish grudge while in the middle of saving the world, nor does it exacerbate power creep with arbitrary “rematches”, nor can the Fujos make it and the main character hook up in shitty yaoi doujins, and when the protagonist finally gets the box, that’s all there is to conclude the story.
Rivals are the inferior story device in every conceivable measure.

Where is your creativity, your imagination?
Nathaniel Stewart
Like BC. Its the only one that really makes snese and feels real.
Owen Moore
There's no rivalry on Black Clover tho?
Jackson Campbell
It's amazing how much Black Clover has ripped off off Naruto. From the spiky-haired-bandana-wearing-demon-harbinging protagonist and his rival, to it's storytelling (ninja villages vs kingdoms,underdog backstory...)
But the biggest similarity between each franchise is definitely how shit the fanbase is.
Brayden Smith
the king fucking dying
Thomas Walker
His no character and just plot device anyway
James Turner
Wait what? Isn't he the strongest dude? I remember him being kind of curious of Asta because he couldn't sense anything from him yet he was still there. How long from when Asta meets the king until the king is kill?
Luis Parker
nice numbers
Hunter Moore
Asta met Julius pretty early on, the most recent episode was 92 which is a couple arcs later
also checked
Jaxon Myers
Thar rivalry is just dogshit
Its not even a rivalry
Its one person just being the best and the other sucking his dick
Jackson Roberts
>main rivalry was kind of "settled down" with Rikiishi's death.
AnJ had one of the best healthy rivalries, however, it wasn't the main focus nor the main drive of the story.
Ian Perry
Absolutely not Yuno is horrible. Also I had his whole "What's the matter Asta? You'll fall behind me" thing. One day Asta can lose an arm and he would still tell him that.
