Make it like the chuunin exam and not like the many "exams" in MHA with no stakes or relevance to the plot.
Joseph Cruz
By not making one in the first place.
Anthony Moore
1) Make the people care about the tournament.
2) Don't put the story on hold for the tournament, but make the tournament part of the story.
Henry Rogers
These are both correct!
Josiah Anderson
Tournament arcs are shit
Joshua Green
put toguro in it
Chase Campbell
By familiarizing the contestants to the audience or at least the ones that impact the main characters in some way.
Elijah Russell
Don't make it blatantly obvious who's there to job and who's there to make it to the finals like Dragonball did, don't interrupt them in the middle like Naruto, HxH and the Buu arc, and don't try to hamfistedly sell the "you can't win them all" message through random asspulls fucking the MC over like Pokemon and the 22nd Budokai in Dragonball.
Carter Thompson
by making the announcer more entertaining than the fights
Evan Ortiz
what anime?
Owen Nelson
Use saucenao.
Henry Lopez
is there other anime besides Naruto with a good tournament arc? I guess dragon ball had some cool fights in the Cell tournament arc too

Get in a time machine, go back to 2006 and lurk two years before posting.
Jayden Edwards
oh ok
Andrew Ross
put the really serious deurtagonist character up against the comic relief character and watch as the comic relief character becomes more serious as the match progresses
John Adams
Stakes and courage
Julian Walker
Only show the matches that are relevant and give them some serious stakes, but don't make winning the tournament a necessity for the plot to move forward.
Ryder Kelly
Fucking love this type of thing.
Xavier Brooks
>don't make winning the tournament a necessity for the plot to move forward
Why not?
Thomas Martinez
OG dragonball, mc only won one tournament.
Matthew Thomas
First, what is the purpose of a tournament arc at all?
Nolan Jenkins
Make a whole anime about one
Christian Miller
Keep the backstage scheming to a minimum, or don't interfere with the tournament itself too much. Hate it when it gets interrupted during a fight because of external reasons. Kengan Ashura pulled it off better by inserting the coup chapters during the tournament break.
Joseph Taylor
Readers should be familiar with 60-80% of contestants.
Michael Adams
Most of the fights in the chunin exams were shit though
Matthew Murphy
The Sanctuary arc was a gauntlet with a ticking bomb mechanism, not a tournament. The only tournament arc in SS was the galactic tournament, which was interrupted.
Austin Parker
>introduce lots of new characters at once
aka Naruto and OPM
>show off cool fights
aka Naruto and Dragon Ball
>waste the viewer's time
aka MHA
Hudson Martinez
to show off cool fights. easier said than done
Landon Ortiz
He's talking about your knowledge that the story MUST continue, because it's a serialized manga, which means that the protagonist must win the tournament.
I think it's easy to think of workarounds to this, but the danger is real. Even outside of tournaments, when the stakes are too high, you just know that the protagonists cannot fail.
Andrew Mitchell
Take notes from World Trigger.
Ethan Butler
MHA had a plot-relevant reason where they needed to show students off to hero agencies.
Jayden Baker
That's really not exciting and the stakes were still non-existent given their ages.
Ethan Hernandez
>>introduce lots of new characters at once
bad
there's no stakes in tournament arcs id you only know half the participants
