The Big 3 of Shounen Manga

When it comes to shounen manga or anime the first that maybe come up to your mind is the One Piece, Bleach and Naruto and some might also think of Hunter x Hunter, Yuyu Hakusho, Inuyasha and Dragon Ball or the new generation shounen manga like Black Clover and Boku no Hero Academia. So, in what matter or metrics that we conclude this said manga title to be announced as the 3 best among the rest of shounen manga when they have serialized.

There seem to lot of debate and talk in all of anime community on which shounen manga should seat on the throne of the we called "The Big 3 of Shounen Manga" this type of discussion in communities might be a trouble as which community you are in. It will always depend on the taste of the people to judge wether what is what because we always have different personality and different opinions. The Big 3 refers to the 3 most popular release shounen manga of weekly Shounen Jump Magazine.

This is a hard topic to discuss as may other disagree but this are just my opinion and others opinion that I have search while surfing the internet to find the most factual evidence that the said title should be on the Big 3 of Shounen.

The most known and generally accepted maybe we can call it the original as they are the start of the Big 3 from 20's are: Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, Masashi Kishimoto Naruto and Bleach written and illustrated by Tite Kubo.

This trend or craze among otaku's start to fade as the new decade and new shounen starts to jump out. Firstly the franchise of Naruto, ended up in 2014 makes it out from the big 3 and Bleach come next as it the franchise also ended up last 2016. One Piece which was written by Eiichiro Oda is the Last One standing among the said Big 3 of their generation as the story is still on-going.

Did you know?: That before this craze about the big 3 comes from a long generations of manga serialized over japan as also the big hit of 90's DragonBall , Inuyasha  and Togashi's Yu yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter claims to be the Big Shounen manga in their decade. As while transitioning to another decade of manga. Drangonball seem to pass the baton to One Piece as to start the new decade.

What is the reason, why Naruto, Bleach and One Piece above the other and each other when it comes to shounen manga.

Bleach starts out pretty good, with fun, friendly characters, a cool mythology and works really well until the end of the arc of the Soul Society. All falls out like a house of cards after that. All just seems meaningless, outdrawn fights, utterly ludicrous plot twists, the lore begins contradicting itself.Bleach has a better fights among the main character. Ichigo might not be the strongest of the three main characters, with Luffy being more lovable and Naruto having more depth. However, his fights are infinitely more exciting. For him, there is a degree of the unknown when he squares up with others. Whether he's going to prevail over his opponent, you never know for sure.

Luffy and Naruto are trying to fulfill their dreams and they need to be powerful through this. Ichigo and Luffy want to be dominant in order to defend them. But unlike Luffy, Ichigo seem to more overprotective since luffy acknowledge the skills of his nakama and he knows the best they can do, he have a trust on his nakama.

There is a case here for One Piece as they have more than a few powerful female characters who play a major role in the story. In contrast to Bleach, who has women in both the main cast as well as high ranking roles in Soul Culture, they still faint. In the game, they also have some of the best fights.

The tale does not really concentrate on the character's history, but at least it is better than Bleach. Of course, both of the main characters are special. Luffy is the Dragon's sibling, and the nine-tailed fox is Naruto. Naruto's funny, but typically it's just the three of them.

Bleach just hit the bottom of a rock so the fans are not that happy about it. I guess the truth is that it's just repeating itself over and over again. There's a single piece of the biggest manga that's still going on, and we have two to three years left.

So that's it, as the new generation seems to be climb up because of the one page one shot manga that have been released to be seen that Goku from Dragon Ball pass the torch to Luffy and Naruto of One Piece and Naruto then to the one of next decade Big Trio Midoriya of Boku no Hero Academia. As I know that along with Hero Academia the big 3 of this decade are Black Clover and said to be is the Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer has it movie and has the high sales of manga this past 2020 next to One Piece or maybe sometime surpass the sale of One Piece.
