Solo Leveling vs. One Piece: Streaming Battle in 2026?
The *Solo Leveling* anime series launched with massive global hype, setting streaming records for its initial run. This prediction challenges it to surpass *One Piece*, a perennial favorite with hundreds of episodes and global availability, in the total volume of minutes streamed worldwide across all major platforms (Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.) during 2026.
The Power of Consistency
The majority 'No' vote acknowledges the sheer volume and continuous output of *One Piece*. While *Solo Leveling* has exceptional peak viewership, the hundreds of legacy episodes of *One Piece* continue to rack up massive library minutes week after week, making it almost impossible for a newer, shorter series to compete on the metric of total hours viewed over a full year.
