Make Sure to Check out Tracy and Jared's Channels too! Links in the description!

I know most of these come down to preference at the end of the day. But as a Bleach fan, I appreciate you Rob debating that Bleach have the better villains. I feel theirs been more Bleach love sprinkled in from the first time I discovered your channel, so that's always appreciated. I will say, I do hope one day you find someone who's a huge Bleach fan as you are a OP fan to come on your channel to really take a stance on some of these type of topics. Best side cast, best female characters? Bleach wasnt even in the discussion, like damn. Even if Bleach still isn't chosen at the end, this is when I wish someone who really rocks with Bleach like that was on here, so they can throw some knowledge down to give an educated debate.

Reiatsu is much more than just Ki. The whole powersystem of how a shinigami's shikai and bankai relates to their own personality and the masks we wear versus the release of all of my being. and how deeply it connects to the shinigami soul. And thats just the shinigami part

I SWEAR IF EVERYONE OF THEM READ BLEACH LIKE THEY READ ONE PIECE BLEACH WOULD BE TOP 2 FOR THEM We really don’t deserve Kubo man Shonen Showdown the only one who understood a little bit of bleach

To help with bleach being the face of influence you can look at yuji, todo, and gojo and say they're pretty much exactly like ichigo, kenpachi, and kisuke, then the theme of human group slaying monsters, that is bleach's exact base, other examples of it is chainsaw man, attack on titan, and demon slayer. The gotei 13 of demon slayer is the demon slayer corps and the hashira is like the captains. And after watching how influential bleach is it turns out that bleach inspired the writer of my hero to draw and create his own zanpakuto.

me as a bleach fan *sees another bleach downplay* *sips coffee* nothing new

Yall wrong with the face of influence, it was stated by gege that his series was influenced by bleach same thing with demon slayer. With JJK for example cursed spirits being similar to hollows, gojo being similar in personailty to kisuke (although looks similar to kakashi), Gege stated also that Todo is inspired by Kenpachi and there are many other stuff. For Demon slayer the Hashira being similar to the idea of Captains in bleach, and to kill demons by a special metal sword is similar to killing hollows with the Zanpaktous etc.. many more stuff also such as Balck Clover having the Captians idea, for example Nozel is similar to Byakuya, Jack the reaper to Noitora (espada no.5), the whole plot twist with Julius which is a carbon copy of Aizens. I think that bleach is really the most influential out of the big 3.

The disrespect to Bleach in the "things the big 3 does the best" take. Homie really said Madara had more swag than Aizen? Dude who got outsmarted and defeated by Zetsu? Villains, Art, Character Designs, MC, Transformations, and strongest should all go to Bleach imo. It's always sad to see how many people either haven't read Bleach or just disrespect it because it's the least popular. Also, Tracey is half correct about his influence take. The JJK author cited both Naruto and Bleach as heavy influences. There's also more mangaka that I've seen say Bleach heavily influenced their show.

Bleach had to be discussed in transformations. The espada' resureccion forms go crazy, even though naruto is my no.1 anime

i think bleach is the most influential. black clover for example was inspired by it

y’all did bleach dirty bro 😭 bleach has the best villains,OST,art,transformations (debatable asf) and VERY hot take but MC too.

Bleach has Influenced way more new gen anime, the creators themselves have come out and stated this multiple times

they underestimate Bleach too much, it's clear from the creator of Black Clover himself who said that the captains were inspired by Gotei 13, the problematic relationship between the brothers in Black Clover was also inspired by Rukia and Byakuya, even the author himself said that he was one of Bleach's lovers. Previously, not only that, Jujutsu Kaisen started from a domain similar to Bankai Tosen, Gojo's power was similar in concept to Streinreitter W, even JJK scenes came from Bleach, and the author also said that he made comics inspired by Bleach, not only that Kimetsu No Yaiba also said the same thing, so yes, Bleach is acknowledged by many new gen authors as their inspiration, just try reading their interviews

these guys generally hurt my head

W video as always bro! 👑 Tsukishima is an underrated villain from Bleach also who deserves more flowers! He broke Ichigo down with finesse 🔥

12:12 Main character: one piece Deuteragonist: naruto Side cast: one piece Female cast: Bleach Villians: bleach Fights: bleach Plot/story: naruto Art: bleach Transformation: one piece/bleach Character design: bleach Emotional impact: one piece Power system: one piece Anime: naruto Manga: one piece Strongest: bleach World building: one piece

So much Naruto and One Piece meatriding going on 😂😂

One piece- best protagonist, best plot and best world building Naruto- best fights, best deuteragonist, best deaths and best antagonists Bleach-best character designs, best osts, best villain, best side characters, best female cast, best plot twist, best power system, best animation and best elevated source material if we include tybw arc

I like how Tracy is the only unbiased one of the three

yo rob, just wanna say thankyou for reading all the comments all the time, we really appreciate that :)

Most definitely want another one of these. Tracy and Shonen Showdown isn’t what I expected to see to see today, but I’m all here for it. Definitely a collab that I thought I wouldn’t get😁

They try so hard not to say Bleach lmao, to me it just proves how truly underrated Bleach is because I believe it's the best outta the big 3 but you see so many anime/manga channels barely mentioning it

bleach gettin slept on consistently

They forget espada, full bring, bankai, volstandich transformation.

Legendary Collaboration Fr

I feel like this video is really good when you collab with people.

The Bleach disrespect

How is my man saying JJK is influenced by Naruto like wth Domain Expansions are LITERALLY Bankai on smaller scales. Gege Akutami himself said he's inspired by Bleach. If you remember Gojo getting sealed and you coinside it with Aizen getting sealed, it's similar af

Bleach directly is stated to have inspired Gege with JJK. Iirc it also inspired Black Clover and a few others. Also has tons of other great villains. Almost no one in the other series is as sinister as Tsukishima with how he messed with the MC on a personal level. Ginjo being a what if version of Ichigo, Grimmjow bringing out Ichigo's true self and eve Ulqiorra being a morale battle for Ichigo.

Rob tryna give some love to bleach is really nice, appreciate it.

The power is always fascinating. It really inspired me to think of my own for a manga series I'm working on.

Podcast on memes and things ppl post about anime. Great stuff, it doesn’t get realer than this

Bleach underrated as always.

You can't seal him since 12:04 he can control his soul to get out of the seal that's binding him and domain expansion won't work since he can regenerate the damage and he can fight even if his brain is fried

Regardless on how much I agree this was really fun to watch. Man you gotta love how everything changes when someone brings up luffy vs naruto😂, you can litteraly feel the air change and the pressire rising ahahaha

New here and I love this channel already! ❤️❤️

Wsg Rob I've been pretty early lately it's been good to see you

Bruh the hate on Bleach was insane.... Character design, transformations its Bleach easily, not just on the Big 3 but Bleach is undeniably Top 3 best character design in any shonen.

Love the collab, yall damn near the big 3

Crazy how undead unluck is over 200 chapter yet people know so little about it. Andy with every negator ability would be insanely busted

13:14 No way you hit the sad music when he started talking about naruto 😭

I've seen a lot of comments about bleach. I've watched the anime but haven't read the manga. This is the time for the anime to shine when it comes back. It better make quite the impression.

Tracy was wild for that father joke😂

18:54 wow.. even after naruto finished in 2017, they still think naruto has the best fight compare to the other two big 3 ... now that is something..

This was a STELLAR collab. Tracy and Jared clashing with each other was very entertaining with Rob as the mediator, with a bit of sneaky spices to throw into the mix. Loved it overall

I can not stand by as they continue to speak the utter lie that Black Clover is more inspired by Naruto. Black Clover has 3 main inspirations, Dragon Ball, Bleach, and Berserk with Yu yu hakusho thrown in.

Ngl I would be lying if I said yall aren’t biased but overall great vid tbh

I'm not gonna lie they did Ichigo with every Bankai dirty. That's Ichigo with existence erasure, immortality, making everyone fight each other while thinking he;s their ally, control of the color black plus a 10 times boost per Bankai, he is definitely a match for Goku.

A lot of the new gen series are inspired by bleach. Also I feel many anime fans forget too easily of the story of bleach. They barely remember anything outside of the first two major acts. You see influence of bleach especially in JJK. yuji and ichigo are literally similar in their goals to protect others, and are thrust into it after getting given power (sukuna/rukia). Plus they both aren’t fully human. Demon slayer is basically bleach but set in a different time period, and chainsaw man has similarities with the devils in comparison to hollows. Similar with curses too.

When we going to stop giving Naruto credit for something that was inspired by Bleach, the author of JJK literally stated in a interview the JJK is inspired by Bleach, that Todo was inspired by Kenpachi but somehow we keep giving Naruto credit….. even the captains from Black Clover were inspired by the captains from Bleach…. Bleach has inspired a lot more New Gen anime than Naruto has, it’s just how these anime’s present them it looks like Naruto….. even Gojo was inspired by Urahara not Kakashi.

Black clover was more inspired by bleach I thought

What you said about quirks same can be for devil fruit there are lots of useless devil fruit out there. One thing I like about quirks how technical they are.

This one bouta be good

The end was so funny😂

the bleach disrespect is crazy

Madara manipulated the whole world thinking he was alive the whole time. And madara doesn't need to hallucinate anyone to do it.

Influence with newgen is definitely Bleach. Demon slayer and JJK are some of the biggest manga/anime right now, and their authors noted that Kubo was a big inspiration for them. Gege Akutami even has an interview in the JJK character guide book

Ichigo with every bankai might actually WIN in a battle like this, since every bankai gets a 10x stat amp, which might actually close the gap between Ichigo, and Goku statwise, and since I believe Ichigo goes up to start of DBS before it's game over, and Adult Ichigo being needed to go further in the DB verse... it's not TOO much of a stretch for the gap to close in this one specific instance. In addition to all the absurd hax all Bankai have. If Ichigo doesn't win...he's at least EASILY second place, almost every single bankai is just so fucking broken, and Ichigo is easily the most powerful person presented in this picture behind Goku normally in the first place.

As some caught up to the Manga of Undead Unluck, Andy has become even more OP. Here are some major spoilers, The dude has mastered a soul manipulation technique and now can fight with his soul even if his body is captured/immobile and directly attack opponents souls. He was chilling on Sun(Fire slowed his regeneration in early series) for Billions of years while using his soul technique to hold back 10 of the strongest UMA/rules in the series(including death,luck,change etc.). He can create copies and send his copy to Earth from Sun to fight a villain. The panel of Andy sitting on the Sun goes really really hard. One of the best.He is certainly very strong and unkillable unless we talk really OP characters.

Love how only tracey luaghed when he brought up his dad

If I had to send a new gen characters after Andy I would send Shiki from Edens Zero. What's he gonna do against someone who can send him to space?

I feel like anos sinbad and all the powerful characters don’t appear in these videos and I feel like those would be more funnier debates

Problem with Andy is that from what I know, he negates anything that he considers as death. So even when he gets completely erased and he consideres this as dying, he negates it. I might be wrong tho so don't take my word for it.

For Bleach villians im surprised Ulquiorra wasn't included, and also the pre-villains that become good before we even met Aizen.

Love the TYBW fights but ngl old bleach fight were better. The Tybw fight in the manga made em seems a lot longer than what we actually got there wasn't much back and forth like with the espadas. Once the captains got stronger it was easy for them ngl. Yhwach and the royal guard were the only ones who really seem like threats.

It’s crazy it feels like your cohosts are bleach haters and it started when they said reiatsu should be knocked down but said nothing about chakra which💀

Love the vids Rob keep up the great work. I do feel like Bleach ain't getting enough love tho like tybw by itself has better animation and art than anything I've seen in Naruto or One Piece, and Bleach's sound design is really unmatched, Outside of just Aizen and Ywach villains like Ulquiorra and Grimmjow were both amazing and flushed out in their own right, I definetly feel their character designs are the best(that's really just personal opinion this is very subjective), and the female cast for Bleach was so underrated its insane on both the hero and villain side.

Okay my hot take about Blackbeard, I don't think he's the final villain. I think he both literally and figuratively drowns in his own ambition. They said that during the time skip he's been going around collecting devil fruits and selecting the perfect fruits for his crew. I think there's some kind of obstacle to get to Laughtale and that's the reason Shanks crew can all swim and when Teach hits it he isn't going to have one person on his crew who can swim. I think he's going to drown because of his unquenchable thirst for power.

Honestly the only power system I think it's mid is the one from Shaman king. None can become stronger unless they die and revive or reincarnate, which is very inconvenient.

The Haki gas is crazy. There's no individuality to Haki. Everyone's Haki does basically the same thing. And that thing 99% of the time is just hit Harder. If you're lucky it's a little bit of precog. Precog + Hit Harder is literally all of Haki, and those are both things that exist in every power system to some extent.

Rob organize part 4 asap

for villains how was the most hyped up person in naruto defeated by a fucking asspull kaguya

Hey what’s up Rob!?😎

Gonna have to disagree with chakra at highest. Chakra was very inconsistent imo

On an emotional level I feel that Naruto is the greatest.

18:46 yall forgot about tokinada

Mate i gotta say, i think some of your takes are terrible but i fkn love this channel

The big 3 are goated and forever will be. My personal preference is one piece > bleach > naruto but all 3 are 10/10

isnt yogiri from my instand death ability a new gen or r we mainly talking abt shonen and not overall new gen animes like isekei

W video brooo!

Gojo, Kenjaku, and Sukuna jumping him. Gojo is popping his domain. Andy gonna be stuck. and they gonna use the prison realm

Andy has never been erased completely no piece left

Nah bro bankai isn't most iconic as of I think rasengan is more iconic

25:19 from my opinion ( i can be wrong ) : * demon slayer => bleach x jojo * JJK => bleach x naruto * black clover = > naruto x bleach * boku no hero => naruto

I dont see sabo fighting blackbeard properly cause the revs have their goals on the god knights gorosei and now imu. Sabo wouldnt do an ace and potentially fumble the main mission for some quick revenge

One piece the only anime that can make me cry over a ship.

Don’t do it rob dont dodon’t do it 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Bleach is arguably most inspiring in big 3 but it inspired mangakas they are not dumb as some shonen kids who didn't even understand bleach writing ☠️ Bleach and hxh clears in Inspiring and influence

One piece does not do female cast good, they are often very cartoony and one sided in their personality.. I would say Bleach does the best female cast out of the big 3, characters like Rukia beats every female characters in One piece given the range of motion that character has + its very rare to see a close male friend relationship in anime done right without being forced. If we go by design/art then Bleach also blows one piece out of the water, sure one piece has whacky designs but its mostly done for "shock" value implication rather than it making sense. For instance Mayuri is a wierd design but it fits the character due to his role and personality, with one piece its like every characters are ugly bastard or wierd because the author lacks the drawing skills to draw cool characters that doesn't suffer from downs syndrome. Also how is One piece worldbuilding the best? The fact people have submarines in the show (law's crew) is a plot hole to the entire show because why use boats to begin with when people are so far ahead in technology that they can even use coca cola as fuel.. not to mention most of the locations in One piece are just ripped off places from fictions and real world places which is not that creative to be honest, it ironically makes Bleach better since it has a more unique and creative worldbuilding that takes in to consideration of the real world effects (spiritual pressure, etc). In one piece people can just fly over the sea (it has been shown with devil fruits), so even if the weather is "unpredictable" its not a good reason for why air planes are not in the setting when they can just attach a log pose on it..

Putting Haki in 'Ok'-tier as a system is outrageous. 🤯

haki is a better system than df??? the only reason haki looks cool is because it's mixed with the df,without devil fruits one piece fights would be a lot more boring

I feel like andy beats gojo, even when hit by his domain bc 1) Andy can probably regenerate his brain (if it would contribute to his death) 2) Andy is shown to move without using his brain (he has soul manipulation) 3) Even if he is immobilized whats gojo gonna do to him he can't die Andy can (probably) bypass infinity by using astral projection or some other soul shenanigans Andy is many times faster than light (his finger can travel from the sun to the earth in minutes) Idk abt andy's strength feats but he is very versatile and basically has unlimited blood manipulation.

In MHA, we've known that having a bad quirk isn't the be-all and end-all for a character. Mirio literally exists and shows us that.

Only point I would disagree is that Naruto having the best transformation bleach definitely has it from the villains, MC, and sidecast like rukias bankai alone clears 90% Naruto’s transformation

27:35 It's Saitama. Every OPM ability, makes Saitama a cosmic god, with gravity ability's, esper ability's, can copy any technique he sees + insane growth pattern (on top of the one he already has), Meteoric Burst + Collapsing Star Roar Cannon, he can also spilt by fucking mitosis and then group up with other versions of himself, to make more powerful Golden, and Platinum versions. He becomes a martial arts master, every other S class + monster association ability. All of this is already on top of his Multi-Galaxy Level self. It's no contest.

The Best: Alchemy, Nen, Stands. Great: Reiryoku, Cursed Energy, Devil Fruits/Haki (they're way too interrelated to consider separately, and you can't appreciate their brilliance until you grok that), Mana. Good: Quirks, Fear, Magic, Magical Power, Limiter, Chakra. Okay: Pokemon, Breathing Style, Ki. Mid: Titan Shifting, Ignition. I confess, I really don't give the Admirals much credit. Garp and Sengoku are the only ones to really stand out as impressive to me. But the really important thing is that Teach has that whack perversion of the Will of D going on. That's what truly makes him endgame, not any powerscaling. I dunno, dattebayo/believe it might give bankai a run for its money. I'm still gonna take bankai as the most iconic though. It's not just JJK that can seal Andy. Cosmic Garou's time manipulation can erase him as well, for example. Imma give Bleach the villains and transformations, and One Piece the emotional impact. Naruto takes deuteragonist by virtue of the category being created for it. I could quibble on some other points, but there aren't any hills I'll die on. Again, I'm not gonna die on any hills here. You really need to be careful with your definitions. Goku's base power level and accompanying hax resistance puts him on another level, but what really lets him solo is his speed. Saitama's combination of power and speed puts him as runner up, followed by Ichigo and Naruto (with Shibai BS).

tbh i expected it to be just a debate between naruto and one one piece bleach is just its own thing ad thats what i like about it that y its my fave in the big three and aizen over madara every time of the day

Quickly reminder, what Mihawk said about Luffy, Tsunade said the same about Naruto in the og series

One Rasengan Uzuhiko and Andy is done, also Boruto can technically seal him or bring him to another dimension

My anime hot take is Fire force is a great anime and manga and should be talked about more
