I was born in the 2000's and got into anime around 2010 or so and I know of the Big 3. One Piece was always the best one

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

First trinity in Japanese media I can think of in terms of entertainment, is probably Mazinger Z, Getter Robo and Gundam least one acknowledged by a company. Ever since super robot wars came out those 3 have been inseparable for over 30 years of almost yearly crossovers with rosters big enough to make fighting games jealous crossover or otherwise

[@WieldMyWord]

I dont think you know what the big 3 refers to, its the top 3 most sold manga in the early-mid 2000s and Bleach is in that its just a fact. its a reason why many big modern shonen are directly inspired by Bleach.

Lol but powerscaling always existed. It’s just that it was too Meta back then during the 40s with scaling bombs and then gun power during the 60s-70s

[@misterfuzzyflippers]

Reading the big 3 weekly all at once was something I only got to experience for a few years since I got into One Piece later than Bleach and Naruto, but it was the best time to be a fan of Jump.

[@jamesvach6698]

For me it was Bleach I got into later. I saw One Piece and Naruto right from the beginning and only learned about Bleach years later. Still, I find all three of them enjoyable and I find that each of them has had an impact on me as a person along with some other anime, manga and shows I have seen over the years. Some more than others to be fair, but that is part of life.

[@xboxclown8922]

Honestly One Piece is the best of the Big 3. I would be very interest in hearing your thoughts on the Dark Trio.

[@NobleVillian]

Tekking you are great. Saying Matt Smith is better than Capaldi are fighting words to me. Smit was good. Capaldi was GREAT.

Love the Doctor Who quotes at the beginning ❤❤

[@OmegaGamer1989]

EXCUSE YOU? Tekking, the ACTUAL REAL big 3 is *DRAGONBALL,* Naruto, and Bleach, not One piece Naruto and Bleach. That's some zoomer shit that kids who are too young to even remember a time before you could just stream every anime say. You are not NEARLY young enough to speak such blasphemy. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE one piece, and it's absolutely the biggest NOW. But show some goddamn respect to the OG. Dragonball had been the biggest of the big 3 for nearly a decade and a half before One piece even started.

[@DaKing540]

One piece was always in the top of sales what are you talking about😂 your thinking like a brain dead USA citizen lmao one piece has always been popular and now it’s bigger than bleach and Naruto ever were it passed Batman and Superman in sales so it’s not Naruto and bleach it’s just one piece and dragon ball z lmao and dragon ball was never apart of the big 3 it came out in the 80s like are you slow? One piece came out in 97 and Naruto came out 2000 I think but one piece is in the big 3 and it’s easily the most popular without a doubt.

[@thegreatkhandx2939]

8:37 It makes you wonder what that guy's life must be now, a boring day to day job, working to sustain a family maybe, uncertain future. Meanwhile Tekking living his best life talking about those manga that guy made fun of.

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Pretty funny how over time the big 3 was just the revelation that One Piece is the true masterpiece of long form Shonen.

[@timdoe8895]

No just the best at stretching it’s story out. One Piece wasn’t supposed to be this long at all😂.

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

@timdoe8895 The anime is a slog but the actual Manga goes at a brisk pace. And Oda does actually have it mostly planned out, as opposed to Naruto/Kishimoto who ran out of ideas for the story halfway through shippuden lol. There's a reason why it's only gotten more and more popular with time. One pieces arcs all start and wrap up before you ever get sick of them. It simply has an immense amount of content because Oda is the goat at drawing and writing consistently good Shonen.

[@OmegaGamer1989]

What's funny is One piece wasn't even PART of the big 3 originally. For *years* it was DBZ Naruto and Bleach. One piece was around but hadn't really blown up yet. It wasn't until DBZ finished airing the Buu saga in the West and was considered "over" that One piece ever entered the conversation of "the big 3."

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

@OmegaGamer1989 DBZ was never part of the big 3. It was airing end of the frieza saga in America years before Bleach or Naruto started gaining traction. DBZ was the grandpa that lead to the big 3 becoming a thing.

[@WieldMyWord]

@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero True but if we were technically about it neither should one piece be in the "big 3" since the manga started in 1997 and not in the early 2000s which would be considered the "big 3 era", some proposed its Naruto, Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist that are the big 3 since One piece only got big later on in 2010 and onward when westerners got in to the anime. Ofcourse what we mean by "big 3" is the most profitable shonen shows in the early 2000s to late 2000s (manga, merchs). " Manga goes at a brisk pace. And Oda does actually have it mostly planned out" I have to disagree, ofcourse its better paced than the anime because it doesn't have fillers but the manga can be very dry at certain points like gags being repeated, flashbacks and even just exposition and outdated shonen story tropes, etc. Oda doesn't have most stuff planned out, he has even stated in several interviews in how the worst generation was not planned (that means basically everything about those characters and story threads weren't planned), the manga was supposed to end within a decade or so, Sabo was not planned, Gear 6 was not planned since he said in an interview; "he had no idea how Luffy was going to beat Kaido but its not going to be a fist this time" which it did, the only difference is that he had power up coming out of nowhere which was not planned given past events, etc. "There's a reason why it's only gotten more and more popular with time." Its only got more known because of "marketing"/timing (one piece live action, games, merchandise, etc) and content creators on youtube living off talking about it since it never ends making it a career path on youtube. Also the manga sales has shown that One piece has dropped in sales over the last couple of years so technically people are getting fed up with it (demon slayer, JJK sells more). "One pieces arcs all start and wrap up before you ever get sick of them. It simply has an immense amount of content because Oda is the goat at drawing and writing consistently good" This is also false, one piece have been so uninteresting outside of the community cult, the story is bland and super generic and takes zero risk anymore after Ace died, etc. Not only that but Oda drawing skills is so weak compared to what it used to be 500 chapters ago, you can barely ready the panels because there are so much scribbling lines and messy background. Also Due to Nika/joyboy and onward it has created so many plot holes and issue with the story due to Oda retconning the whole show to something we never wanted or making sense. I would probably say the whole Joyboy thing and now with Bonny mimicking gear 5 out of nowhere worse than the black Zetsu stab in Naruto, I am sorry but one piece is going downhill and its probably because Oda has no idea where he wants it to end, and he is tired. The show has so many loose threads all over the places and when he introduce stuff its often the reason of "style over substance".

[@ObiClon]

Ahh the Big Three of Naruto/One Piece/Bleach (listed in the order I both watched & read them) were a staple of weekly Shonen reading back in the early 2010's for me. Funny how now the only one currently from this video that is still going/ never ended that isn't either a spin-off or sequel is One Piece and that One Piece has become part of other Big Threes when paired with series like My Hero Academia or Demon Slayer.
