Why The Big 3 Remain Iconic 

You're 100% right! Shows how well they excelled in what they were great at since people still talk about them to this very day 😊

i totally agree with you there is world building in naruto that is awesome, but one piece did it even better, and there is philosophy and emotional connection with one piece, but naruto did it even better i love bleach but as these two, i love hunter more, still an absolutely great serious though that i loved

I love the characters of Bleach as well Kubo might be the one out of the mangakas of the big three who focuses the least on how characters feel but characters from Bleach always felt much more like real people than the other two since characters like Kyoraku Mayuri and even Ichigo at key mature moments tend to feel more three-dimensional like they have this depth to them with the weight of a real person moments like when Ichigo finds out that his father lied to him all his life any other character would have demanded awnsers but he just says that "he won't ask but instead wait for his father to feel like it's time to understand" he is showing a much bigger degree of maturity than you would usually expect from a shounen character since they tend to react to situations by falling into the usual troupes but despite Bleach focusing the least on storytelling than One Piece or Naruto when it actually happens it manages to surprise me the most because the maturity and complexity of the characters in these particular moments is not that of a regular shounen and that's not the only time when he realizes that Soul Society had been monitoring him on the Lost Agent Arc he also behaves the same making it clear to me that the character in that moment is being used and portrayed like more than just in the way the plot needs him to be at that moment but it's also telling us about how Ichigo is as a person in a very subtle but realistic way that is showing him more as a person of his own and less than in the familiar and predictable way most other shounen do it Mayuri (Kubo's favorite character) is also incredibly interesting in his own way despite being entirely mad and is one of these few characters in Bleach you come to enjoy despite him being portrayed as such a piece of shit without ever having been given the "cool" and charismatics elements most villains use to make us love them personality-wise Mayuri is nothing but flaws yet he remains interesting perhaps precisely because he isn't what we want him to be the character is just himself from beginning to end Kyoraku is in my opinion the perfect middle ground he's a grey character and never goes too much one way or the other so we never really get to know the entirety of who Kyoraku is we know he has this amicable side to him but he also has a deeper more sinister side he hides under this other side of himself and at times you feel how the amicable side is ultimately just a facade in battle yet he's usually such a nice guy that i as a viewer can never see him as a bad guy and same as the other two he's consistent with this too i remember getting that impression of him when i read the Fake Karakura Arc but then in TYBW he made it clear to me that he had no illusions or aspirations of justice and what's right as many other Gotei members do i remember him saying "that its pointless to blame in side or the other because once war breaks out both sides are evil" for me this phrase encompasses perfectly how all wars in Bleach are since none of the parties involved are more good nor bad than the other one ( as opposed to Naruto and One Piece where despite no side being 100% one thing or the other the Balance is almost always tilted plot-wise so that the protagonist feels like he's in the right in this aspect Bleach is actually the total opposite of the other big three because of how fucked up the roots and foundation of Soul Society is and these aren't even my favorite Bleach characters lol

​@@mohammadalfattal2902No. One Piece is the best.

@@Force-Multiplier Same thoughts, the color black and white even comes out not only on the manga panels but with the story. The theme of Bleach bleaching the concept of black and white, showing us that the world is not about who's wrong or right, since all these morals and justice is lost in the chaotic world where lots of people with different ideas and beliefs lives

the big 3 were just on a whole other level from every other manga at the time. If I was to compare it to something, its similar to how superman, batman and spider-man completely dominate every other superhero in terms of popularity and recognizability. Its only lucky that we got all 3 of these shows around the same time.

Remember when One Piece failed compared to Yugioh & Pokémon's popularity in America during the 2000s? The Big 3 aren't infallible & had conditions been different other series could have ended up as the Big 3. As for Super Heroes, Wonder Woman is nearly at the Superman & Batman level of popularity with her being DC's iconic 3rd Place Hero. Spiderman will of course always be Marvel's Greatest Hero though.

It just upsets me people wants Bleach out the Big 3. In a similar fashion Hell's Paradise for the Dark Trio as well. I felt all three series in both trios earned their place.

@@bookmew1081 no one cares about ww bro

Exactly right!

It's like expecting something to be the new father of modern shounen (Dragonball)

the big 3 are just so incredibly hard to replicate. Not only are they series that would define the entirety of shonen by themselves, they also managed to happen all around the same time and stood at the pinnacle of the genre. Its like trying to create a new big 3 superheroes (batman, superman and spider-man) its nearly impossible and would require a lot of events to converge to cause it again. Sure there are amazing shows now that can stand next to or atleast rival individual big 3 members, like mha and jujutsu kaisen, but you can't top the big 3 as a collective and try to make lightning strike 2x. But maybe that's not so bad. After all, this just means people can get interested in a more diverse range of anime and not just 3 big ones, and we can look back on the big 3 era as a miracle that will forever stay legendary.

Are you dumb??dragon ball helped it go mainstream not any of these just stfu and stop dick riding.

I think an argument can be made for Demon Slayer and MHA but the current Gen falls short for a third big consistent and highly popular series. Maybe Tokyo Revengers or Jujutsu Kaisen but I feel like they aren’t quite at the same level as the other two.

Aye nice one! Glad you enjoyed both Naruto and Bleach! I'm sure you'll enjoy catching up to One Piece a ton! (:

same dude

Maybe not quite on the level of the big 3 but still very great and future legendary Mangas I'd recommend once you've caught up with One Piece are: One Punch Man Boku no Hero Academia Kengan Ashura/Omega

Hope you enjoy😊

Thats alot catchup to do😅. Hope u enjoy one piece. U wont regret it

Fr used to get bullied for talking about Bleach 😭

Exactly how things went for me 🤣 Now everyone watches anime and I'm like "should of listened to me sooner" 😭

I know people that still hate anime, and a prolific marvel fans. And now look at how their MCU has turned out. 😼 I only heard complaints from them while anime watcher keeps eating good.

Hope you enjoy yourself man! There's plenty of Anime/Manga out there for you to still experience which I'm sure you'll love! Really hoping you'll end up loving Naruto since it's my favourite!

I can feel you one piece is just beautiful

One piece and bleach imo are the best , naruto was good while watching it but after finishing it I just felt it got downhill after pain invasion

I would argue that Pokémon, Sailor Moon, & DBZ were the 3 most important series in regards to making anime popular in America. The Big 3 didn't really air until halfway through the 2000s. Before that there were Zatch Bell & Yugioh which were insanely popular! Pokémon's success carried into Yugioh, while Sailor Moon & DBZ were what made Toonami popular & introduce several series.

Fr those types of videos were continuously getting pumped out back in the day 🤣 they were a vibe though I can't lie

most diverse character in anime history.

Thanks so much for sharing your own story! I feel like a lot of us that grew up with the big 3 had very similar experiences, it's really crazy yet interesting! So glad you liked the video! The big 3 are very close to my heart, so I'm glad you think I did this topic surrounding them justice 😊

@@Mikeyuubi It is great! Keep going! I want to see more!

@@RookieCrusade Thank you! I'll try my best! 😄😊

bro tried to sneak fullmid alchemist

​@@rubixmaster7532 bro say "fullmid alchemist"

Thanks so much my bro! Really glad you enjoyed the video! 😊😊

100% right!

Great to hear how you got into these series! Really glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

Hey there not 25th! 👀

Agreed! Do check out more of One Piece tho when you have the time 👀😁

@@Mikeyuubi I will, one day!

@@delix787 Shut up!😂

@@co.spirit2007 You know what you did! 🗿

Bleach is back baby

Bleach is back But Naruto is gone forever, Boruto doesn't exist

Bleach did not "end with a good conclusion" lol

Not good at all

How the hell did Naruto end with a good conclusion? Do we forget the existence of Kaguya?

One Piece feels the most like a spiritual successor to Dragon Ball

Swordman Ninja Pirate

​@@alchemistofsteel8099an interesting take... How so?

@@qum3325 Samurai Ninja Pirate

Naruto took my heart the most too, but One Piece and Bleach were also a massive part of my spiraling obsession with anime and manga 😊 They're forever goats

@@Mikeyuubi Yeah I prefer Bleach over One Piece! I love Bleach! But it's character writing is weak tho

For me its one piece... I hold it as special in my heart. I definitely love naruto but one piece just got me, and bleach too, its my 2nd favourite of the big 3

@@soulkingabstr4kt887 That's great to hear! Everyone has different tastes yet it's still great knowing majority love both of these 3 series either way 😄

Same but the big 3 are my fav anime and can't decide which to put at no.1 lol

It feels like Bleach seems to be something you appreciate much more once you grow up. I always liked it during its publication but like you too said I thought it was the "weakest" of the three. But now I've finally hit 30 and holy hell do the characters connect so much more in adulthood. I will never forget Naruto and I still read and adore One Piece but DAMN the adult vibe and sheer style Bleach delivers with each chapter and every episode is something the other two just can't bring to the table

@@DrewX86 thats understandable, some may enjoy it more then the others and of course it is not without its flaws just as the others but there a reason why it was considered top 3. It was a solid good long journey with each 3 excelling in something that differentiates between them. The fandoms should all appreciate each one for for what eac3 one offered and in turn brought forth new anime/manga who took inspiration from it. If only it wasnt so hated on but at long last Bleach finally took back its spot next to the other 2.

100% right. It's a shame some try to compare their series by just bringing up the negatives of the big 3, it's not the way to do it. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you! 😊

It's completely fine to not like a series at all, if everyone liked the same thing the world would be boring anyway :) But it's great that you can still see the appeal a series such as One Piece brings to the table! I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to Naruto as it'll always mean a great deal to me. It's the reason why I wanted to start up this channel to begin with :)

@@Mikeyuubi I'm glad someone finally understands, everyone I've said that too kinda looks at me like I'm crazy and I can definitely tell and it's great! Keep it up !!

Me too, One Piece is awesome, just not my cup of tea. Naruto is my favorite, it grew in maturity with me at the same pace, and bleach was just peak fiction with an extraordinary amount of edge and poetry.

I've never understood the feeling to compare them. Sure I had my favorite among them (back the Naruto, changed into One Piece at some point). But I thoroughly enjoyed all three of them. I was just happy to have three great Manga I could enjoy new chapters of every week.

I dropped one piece 3 times when I started. It was the last of the big 3 that I watched. But it gets good after like 30-50 episodes. The appeal of one piece is world building and characters' ideologies. Characters look a bit too cartoonish which makes it tough to watch but you get used to it.

You spitting as always 😤🔥🔥 Thank you so much bro, glad all that time and effort paid off 😊

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it all! :)

Ah thank you so much bro! Really glad you enjoyed the video! Means a lot! 😊

Thank you!! That truly means a lot to me! Put the biggest smile on my face :)

Ayeee thank you bro! Very thankful to hear the wait was worth it 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much man! 😊 Really glad you've been enjoying them and it gives you that distraction you need. Stay strong bro, you've got it 😊

MY BROOO 😭😭😭 THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT 💛

Thank you so much! Really great to know you're enjoying the videos! 😄 Thank you!

Thank you for the compliments! Means a lot!

Thanks so much for sticking around bro! Hope you'll enjoy the future content! 😊

AYEEE thank you so much my bro! Means the world! 😊💛

Thank you for sticking round! I'm currently in the process of re-reading Bleach, so I'll most likely get round to making an art related video on it when I finish :)

I feel the same way bro. They're forever gonna be legends that left the mark on anime and manga as a whole. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

@@Mikeyuubi I'm waiting on that Sakura analysis video though lol

@@215425588 I'll get round to it eventually don't worry 🤣 I promise!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄

Spittin 😤✊🏻🔥

Ayeee thank you my bro! Really glad you enjoyed it! I'll try my best 😄😊

You're 100% right. It's a shame there's so many that are at each others throats all the time when it comes to the big 3. They sometimes act like it's a crime to like more than the other when we should just be talking about how great and impactful these series are instead.

^^^^

Thank you! I'll try my best in future uploads! 😊

Thanks so much my bro! Super glad to know you enjoyed it! 😄 And ofc, gotta spread the Bleach love!

I try! 😂

Glad you enjoyed the video and that you'll be sticking round! Hope you'll end up loving Naruto as much as you did with Bleach! And by the time you're done, there'll be plenty of content for you to check out when it comes to One Piece. There's never a need to rush to the finish line, and once you get deep into these stories, I'm sure you'll appreciate just how much content there is to digest :) Enjoy your future journeys!

Thank you for the kind words! Happy you'll be sticking round 😊

Bless bro, hope you like it! 😊

Thanks a lot man! We'll both keep pushing together 😄

Thank you for the kind words! :)

Aye thank you bro! Took a lot of time to make this video, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much!! Glad you'll be sticking around! :D

Thanks so much! 😭 That means a lot!

@@Mikeyuubi i meant what i said because you put a lot of work in your videos and trust me one day it will pay off

You're 100% right! As I mentioned in the video I feel the exact same way 😁 And thanks so much! Glad you liked the thumbnail! 😊

All 3 are so REBELLIOUS 😉

Thank you my bro! 😊

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Growing up with each of these series being released side by side was such a great time. Really miss those days.

Thank you my bro 😊😊💛

Thanks so much bro! Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I have thought about making a Dragon Ball video! Think I would need to give the series a re-read though to freshen up on it since it's been so long 😄 But I'll get to it eventually!

@@Mikeyuubino worries take as much time as you need bro and remember without Dragon Ball existing most of the brand new Shonen series that we're getting today wouldn't even exist not even the Big 3 One Piece,Naruto,and Bleach...........

@@saudbintalib5701 of course! A lot of shonen owe a lot to the pathway Dragon Ball created for them. Majority wouldn't be what they are today without the foundation Dragon Ball had laid out

@@Mikeyuubi yes yes yes I definitely know that most of us do pretty much........

Thanks for your support! 😄

Bless bro 😭 Thank you 😊💛

@@Mikeyuubi no problem smiled hard asf everyone been uploaded my life is amazing asf rn. Thanks a lot ❤️

@ That reminds me, need to peep your latest vid rn 👀

@@Mikeyuubi OMG THANK YOU 😭 that means a lot man ❤️❤️❤️

This was a video I always wanted to make bro so no need to thank me. Thank YOU for watching the video and enjoying it! The big 3 will always be icons without a doubt. If it had to be any 3 series that blew up and created a change for the world of anime and manga, then I'm super glad it's Naruto, Bleach and One Piece 😊

Bless! 😊🙏🏻

Thank you! Glad you liked the video! And yes I made the thumbnail myself :)

@@Mikeyuubi Wow! As soon as I saw it, I began searching for it trying to find the artist 😂 Nice work!

Thanks so much for sticking around and enjoying the video! And yes I do plan on making more Bleach and One Piece related content 😊 I have some ideas in mind, so hopefully you'll see them in the future! Thanks again for subscribing and checking out the video!

@@Mikeyuubi I binged all your videos earlier and all I really have to say is that they were phenomenal. Keep up the good work 🔥

@@Kuro_Archive Thank you so much bro!! That truly makes me happy you have no idea! 😄 I'll keep trying my best! Appreciate the support!

Hamtaro, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Yugioh I watched each of them when I was a little girl.
