15 Anime Like Naruto You Should Watch Next

So you finished Naruto — all 720 episodes of ninja glory — and now nothing else feels quite right. The good news: Naruto basically wrote the blueprint for modern shonen, which means there is a whole shelf of anime built from the same DNA. Underdog heroes, loudmouth determination, rivalries that turn into brotherhood, and villains who make you cry — here are 15 anime like Naruto to fill the void.

The Closest Matches: Same Shonen Soul

1. Black Clover

The most Naruto-like anime ever made, and proud of it. Asta is a magicless kid screaming his way toward becoming the Wizard King, with a gifted rival (Yuno) who mirrors the Naruto–Sasuke dynamic beat for beat. Black Clover even shares Naruto’s original studio, Pierrot — and its long-awaited season 2 premiered in October 2026 with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs.

2. My Hero Academia

A quirkless boy inherits the world’s greatest power and enrolls in hero school. My Hero Academia takes Naruto’s “never give up” engine and plugs it into a superhero universe — same heart, fresh setting.

3. Hunter x Hunter

Gon leaves home to find his father and becomes a Hunter, collecting a found family along the way. Hunter x Hunter starts cheerful and goes shockingly dark, with the best-written power system in anime.

4. One Piece

Luffy is Naruto’s spiritual brother: loud, loyal, and powered by friendship taken completely seriously. One Piece is longer than Naruto, funnier than Naruto, and — whisper it — possibly better than Naruto.

5. Fairy Tail

Guild mages, found family, and friendship speeches that somehow work every single time. Fairy Tail is pure comfort food for anyone who loved the Team 7 dynamic.

6. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Tanjiro’s kindness-as-superpower will feel instantly familiar. Demon Slayer trades ninja for demon slayers but keeps the emotional core: a boy protecting his sibling against an impossible world.

7. Jujutsu Kaisen

A goofy, big-hearted protagonist thrown into a brutal hidden world of curses. Jujutsu Kaisen is what happens when shonen grows teeth — same energy, sharper edges.

Same Spirit, Different Flavor

8. Attack on Titan

Eren Yeager starts as Naruto-style loudmouth and becomes something far more complicated. Attack on Titan is the epic-scale evolution of everything Naruto attempted.

9. Tokyo Revengers

No powers, just a crybaby who keeps getting beaten up for the people he loves. Tokyo Revengers bottles Naruto’s never-surrender spirit into a grounded gang drama.

10. Haikyu!!

Swap jutsu for volleyball spikes. Haikyu!! is about a short kid who refuses to accept his limits — the sports-anime twin of Naruto’s ninja story.

11. One-Punch Man

The parody that loves what it mocks. One-Punch Man affectionately roasts every shonen trope Naruto perfected, with animation that melts faces.

12. Mob Psycho 100

A quiet psychic kid with godlike power just wants to be normal. Mob Psycho 100 is the thoughtful, gorgeous answer to the loud-protagonist formula.

13. Dr. Stone

Humanity petrified, science as the superpower. Dr. Stone keeps Naruto’s adventure-party structure but replaces chakra with chemistry — and it rules.

14. The Promised Neverland

Orphan kids outsmarting demons with nothing but wits. The Promised Neverland season 1 is a masterclass in tension that Naruto’s strategist fans will devour.

15. Blue Lock

What if the Naruto–Sasuke rivalry was the entire show? Blue Lock locks 300 strikers in a facility and forges Japan’s ultimate ego-driven forward. Pure competitive fire.

How to Pick Your Next Series

Fifteen options is a lot, so here is a shortcut. If you loved Naruto’s underdog heart, start with Black Clover or My Hero Academia. If you loved the world and adventure, Hunter x Hunter and One Piece are waiting. If you loved the rivalry and intensity, Jujutsu Kaisen and Blue Lock deliver it sharper. And if you just want to laugh after 720 episodes of war, One-Punch Man and Fairy Tail are the palette cleansers. There is no wrong answer — only your next obsession.

Where to Watch Them Legally

Nearly everything above streams on Crunchyroll, with several titles also on Netflix in India — many with Hindi dubs. Our complete legal streaming guide breaks down exactly where each show lives and which audio tracks to expect.

The Bottom Line

Start with Black Clover for the closest Naruto feeling, Hunter x Hunter for the deepest adventure, or Jujutsu Kaisen for modern polish. Believe it — the void is fillable.
