One Piece live-action broke everyone’s expectations and became the highest-grossing anime adaptation ever, with fans going wild for season 2.

When One Piece live-action was announced, fans were in a frenzy as they thought their beloved series would be the next victim of live-action adaptations; however, they were all proved wrong.

Surprisingly, Naruto’s live-action film has been in production for almost ten years, but no significant updates have existed until recently.

Naruto has several arcs that can beat One Piece live-action, making fans and viewers happy and craving more.

However, one crucial arc will be fundamental for the success of Naruto’s live-action, which is the Chunin exam arc.

Arguably the best arc of the Naruto franchise, the arc is filled with several fan-favorite moments, such as Lee humbling Gaara, Naruto proving everyone wrong, and Sasuke’s potential.

The arc also sets the stage for what comes next in the series, so it should be made very carefully.
One of the reasons for the success of One Piece live action was the team’s faithfulness to Oda sensei’s source material.

If the Chunin exam arc is made with care and perfection, it will be possible to dethrone One Piece as the best live-action ever.
