Upon discovering the X user’s past, certain fans took it upon themselves to uncover information that directly contradicted his current statement. One fan even presented the X user’s tier list, revealing that the manga series was placed in the lowest tier and casting doubt on his assertion that MHA surpasses the comic series.

Additionally, a fan uncovered previous posts from the user where they criticized My Hero Academia, claiming that Jujutsu Kaisen was consistently improving in each chapter while the former was not. Lastly, another fan called out the obvious and labeled the post as a means to provoke comments from others.

“But you put MHA in literal sh*t in your tier list,”another one commented.

“For who dont know, hes a jjk fan and tries to setup mha,”a fan said.

“Bait,”another one said.

Final thoughts
