Ever since Dragon Ball Super anime broke the internet with Goku's Ultra Instinct, anime fans have been looking forward to seeing manga arcs get animated that could do the same when they get their adaptations.
Many fans believed that One Piece anime could break the internet with Monkey D. Luffy's Gear 5 transformation. While the anime made waves across the internet, it failed to reach the mark set by Dragon Ball Super.
However, reaching Dragon Ball Super's status might be too difficult for the best anime in the world. This article will take a look at some manga arcs that have the potential to reach the same status when they get animated.

Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Omnipotence Arc, and 7 other manga arcs that may break the internet once animated
1) Infinity Castle Arc from Demon Slayer
Anime fans across the world are aware that Ufotable's Demon Slayer anime is one of the best animated series to be released in recent years. While fans believe that the anime's story isn't unique and gets "carried by animation," that is not the case when it comes to its Infinity Castle Arc.
Demon Slayer's Infinity Castle Arc is quite likely the most exciting story arc in the series. It features a plethora of fights between the Demon Slayer Corps and the Upper Moon Demons from Kibutsuji Muzan's army. While each fight is exciting by itself, the series' animation will likely elevate them to the next level.
2) Shinjuku Showdown Arc from Jujutsu Kaisen
Despite having only released two television anime and one movie, Jujutsu Kaisen has become a behemoth amongst Shonen anime due to its story, animation, and characters. With that in mind, Jujutsu Kaisen fans may soon see the anime break the internet through its Shinjuku Showdown Arc.
The latest manga arc from the series features the long-awaited fight between the strongest sorcerer of the present and past, i.e., Satoru Gojo vs. Ryomen Sukuna. Given how much fans love the two characters, that fight alone should be able to break the internet once it gets animated.
3) Final War Arc from My Hero Academia
The Final War Arc from My Hero Academia manga has already begun getting adapted. This may confuse fans, as while the events right now are exciting but nowhere close to breaking the internet. This is because the manga arc has over 80 chapters and the best parts are around its conclusion.
Hence, fans will likely have to wait until the anime's eighth season drops to see the series possibly break the internet. Until then, fans must watch the anime so that they can witness the story build up to that point, i.e., the fight between One For All and All For One.
4) Spade Kingdom Raid Arc from Black Clover
While Black Clover anime did not perform the best when it first came out, it slowly turned into a hit after becoming one of the most-watched series on Crunchyroll. Soon after, Studio Pierrot ended the anime and released a movie, Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, with spectacular animation.
Since then, fans have been hoping for the anime's return with similar animation quality. Fortunately, Studio Pierrot has also been meaning to improve the animation quality of its IPs. With that in mind, given how good Spade Kingdom Raid Arc is as a manga arc, fans can expect the possible anime sequel to break the internet.
5) Omnipotence Arc from Boruto
The Boruto manga series is very popular, as evidenced by the reception each of its chapters gets. While the reason behind it could be its monthly release schedule, it is undeniable that the story is just that engaging. Each manga chapter gives fans a plethora of content to theorize and talk about.
This was especially evident during the final manga arc of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Omnipotence Arc. The Omnipotence Arc saw Kawaki decide to take down Boruto to protect the Seventh Hokage. However, a turn of events saw Kawaki using Eida to switch places with the protagonist, changing both of their fates.
6) Reze Arc from Chainsaw Man
When Chainsaw Man anime was first announced, fans were quite hyped up about it. This was also evident when the anime was released, as each episode was highly praised all across the internet. Following that, the anime has now announced the adaptation of the Reze Arc as a movie.
A sequel to the Chainsaw Man anime itself could create chaos across the internet. This, along with the first appearance of Reze in her character-specific manga arc, could quite possibly break the internet. This is because Reze is one of the most popular characters from the series and will be making her first appearance not as part of the television anime but on the big screen.
7) Monster Association Arc from One Punch Man
It has been nearly five years since the One Punch Man anime released its second season. Since then, fans have been highly anticipating the anime's second season, hoping to witness the remainder of the Monster Association Arc in animation.
This is because the Monster Association Arc features several huge fights, such as Tatsumaki vs. Psykos and Saitama vs. Cosmic Garou. These fights, along with the long wait fans had to experience, could become enough reasons to help One Punch Man anime break the internet with its soon-to-be animated manga arc.
8) U-20 Arc from Blue Lock
The U-20 Arc from Blue Lock could quite possibly be the series' most anticipated manga arc, as this was the first time fans witnessed the Blue Lock players not compete with each other but work together to defeat a common enemy, the Japan U-20 team.
This match between Blue Lock and Japan U-20 wasn't a simple friendly but one that would change the fate of the JFA as the winners of the match would secure control of the Japan National team. This meant that if Blue Lock lost against Japan, it would mean the end of the Blue Lock project. Hence, the finale of the manga arc could break the internet.
9) Jeju Island Arc from Solo Leveling
Since the start of the Solo Leveling anime, the series has been hinting at a future story arc based on the infamous Jeju Island. Fortunately, as fans were expecting, there is a manga arc focused on the island called the Jeju Island Arc.
This upcoming story arc is one of the most exciting manga arcs from the series, as it sees the protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo, join the S-Rank Hunters in the Jeju Island Raid. While he initially decided to sit out to look after his mother, he was later forced to change his mind when a monstrous ant showed up during the raid and began slaughtering the S-Rank Hunters.
These were some of the manga arcs that we believe could break the internet once they get animated. If we missed out on any, do comment below.
