The claim: "Nichiren’s Buddhism is superior to all other schools"

The response:

That, good sir/madam, is a statement reeking of delusion and attachment. Even the Buddha never would have gone so far – he simply said he’d found a way, not theway or anything similarly intolerant.

If you like Nichiren Buddhism, enjoy. You are free to choose whatever suits you. However, the flavor of Buddhism you prefer does not mean that that Buddhism is objectively “superior”, any more than your preference for chocolate ice cream makes that flavor “superior” to mine, say, vanilla. I’m happy you like your favorite. However, insisting that the fact that you like it makes it objectively “superior to all others”, well, c’mon. That’s loony. It’s not all about YOU, dude!
