Demon Slayer is one of the biggest shonen series, and it’s far from the only success on the air these days. Other heavyweights like My Hero Academia are far from over, so of course there are those who will oppose the pair. This has been going on since 2019 and now one fan’s prediction about the two shows is going viral thanks to his prophetic take.
The note in question is quite dated as it was posted on Twitter in 2019. It comes from PS360HD2 in the wake of Demon Slayer‘s, and they had the following share at the time: “Bro Demon Slayer is about to take over these next few years, My Hero Academia will only get progressively worse these next few arcs in the anime, while Kimetsu literally from arc to arc only raises the stakes and gradually becomes more fire. “

As you can imagine, this was a pretty hot take given the huge My Hero Academia was in 2019. The show is still a monster in terms of ratings, but fans expected it to get better over time. However, a combination of things posed My Hero Academiamoo. The show’s fifth season did not impress with its mix-match arcs, and Studio Bones was criticized for its animation. Fans are now feeling nervous about season six in light of this slide, so this fan’s tweet reads too close to home.
And of course, their prediction about Demon Slayer coming true and then some. The anime was a hit in its first season, but its reputation has since soared. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of Japan’s most lucrative IPs of the past decade, and its first film is now the highest-grossing animated feature in the world. Season two carries its banner high with little to no fumbling. So if Twitter wants to make a prediction about the state of anime in 2025, fans better tweet.
