I can agree with that. Bleach sticks out to me out of the big 3 due to it's concepts and grimdark setting
>>
Bleach has the best power system and is more suited to the more mature taste of modern shonen mangaka.
>>
Sometimes i feel like there's some sort of cultural gap that makes the japanese enjoy Bleach more than the west, because holy shit is the plot of Bleach utter garbage, and I'm a huge fan of the series.
Naruto and OP have huge issues as well, don't get me wrong, but both of those series feel like they have overarching themes that are well executed and decent plots that are developed over time and go somewhere, Bleach feels completely aimless from the start, and while Soul Society as an arc is excellent, it both feels disconnected from what happened before, and feels like it leads nowhere, there's no plot progression, Ichigo has no goals, the characters have cool designs but they don't really do anything, there's like 10 different evil organizations but they don't really feel threatening, the world feels small because somehow the main character is connected to every single villain in a personal way. I don't know man, Kubo is an amazing artist but i don't think this motherfucker wanted to actually write anything.

A boring, uninspiring shit manga like Bleach inspiring other boring, uninspiring shit manga like My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen and Black Clover will never ever put Kubo in the same realm as Tezuka and Toriyama and will never ever make him relevant in any timeline. Oda is on a league of his own, because One Piece can't be soullessly aped. It actually requires effort unlike those slops.

Japan literally gave zero fucks about Bleach. It lagged so far behind the other two in the "big three". Really Kubo should be thankful that they even did a big 3 shilling campaign because OP and Naruto were simply leagues ahead of Bleach in fame, popularity, sales, and brand recognition. Look at how it even got axed by the end.

>>268115834
simple: Tite Kubo is a futurist

>>268118098
Bleach isn't plot centric, like at all. You said it. Bleach's plot only exists to facilitate its characters interacting. The drama and interest doesn't come from some machinations of the situation but from characters being the way they are. Bleach really only had two major villains anyway and both of them had very strong reasons to be related to Ichigo.

Combine that with Kubo's poetic way of writing dialogue or his way of framing scenarios (normally grouped under "cool factor") and you have a series that is more novelistic in pace and delivery than battle shonens are used to be. Reading Bleach in bulk and reading it week to week as it was coming out is a massively different experience. It's just so much better read in bulk because the actual chapters are slow in pace and lingering ("the coolness" it is called) which violated the sensibilities of shonen readership in a week to week schedule.

Let's be honest, KnY, Kagurabachi and JJK are way better written than Naruto.
>>
>>268118417
I'm well aware of all that, but for some reason the current gen of mangaka seem particularly inspired by Bleach/Kubo, which is surprising.

>>268118669
All good points, but even considering the fact that Bleach has so much cool shit, all of that gets buried under the immense weight of how dogshit the progression of events is in the story, besides the Aizen twist I can't think of a single plot event in Bleach that actually challenged the expectations of the reader. I feel like the japanese appreciate the coolness of it all a bit more than the typical western shounen fan, which is fine, but still unexpected, especially considering the other popular manga at the time.
>>
>>268118669
>>268118098
And I forgot to add, this was why Bleach was the least popular of the 3. Shonen readership has a very set in stone idea of what a good battle shonen should be. Bleach never had a real chance with them.

>besides the Aizen twist I can't think of a single plot event in Bleach that actually challenged the expectations of the reader.
I find that hard to believe given the fact that Bleach had a substantially larger number of haters crying about asspulls or retcons every other chapter compared to others in the big 3. It seemed like people's problem with Bleach was that it could be too unpredictable with its developments. I don't really think it was, most of the things are foreshadowed or set up early to be exploited later and the manga being predictable, if you are paying attention, is what I would assume good writing should be. But that was a major issue for the shonen readership back in the day.

>>
>>268118417
In recent years, Bleach has been reevaluated positively on forums like 5ch.
Although you need high level Japanese skill to understand, the characters' dialogue and word choices are considered the most refined and beautiful among the Big 3.
Conversely, Naruto is often criticized for Kishimoto's low writing skills, with character dialogues sounding ridiculously awkward in Japanese, leading to mockery of Naruto's characters and their timing on 2ch.
Meanwhile, One Piece is probably one of the most ridiculed manga on 5ch nowadays.

The absurd notion that the origin of the captain/squad system comes from Bleach is completely wrong.
The Gotei 13 in Bleach literally stole the idea from the Shinsengumi, the last samurai squad in Japanese history.
The kimono uniform costumes of the characters in Demon Slayer also taken from them.

This was kinda already known in translations too. I haven't read anything as bad as Mangastream's Naruto translations for a long time until some really bad vidya, yet Mangastream's worst attempts at translation never gave us a Bleach chapter with such poor dialogue as an average Naruto chapter. One piece's dialogue writing is also closer to Naruto's than it is to Bleach's.

Too bad shonen readers don't give a fuck about the actual writing.

Bleach was never the big 3. The real big 3 is Dragonball, One Piece, and Naruto. Bleach's sales aren't in the same zipcode as those 3. Even Demon Slayer has more sales per volume. Just because a few retards coined the term big 3 does not make it real.

Big 3 is the name given to the 3 concurrently running series that exploded anime's and manga's general popularity worldwide. Before them, the only shonen the world had heard of was Dragonball. They put shonen jump on the world's radar and converse to your newfaggot opinion, Bleach was topping the charts a fair amount until after Aizen's defeat.

>>268124511
The way each division is numbered in Japanese, such as "一番隊(1st divisiom)", "二番隊(2nd division)" and so on, is clearly modeled after the Shinsengumi.
To be fair, this is not only Bleach; the concept of organizations where each officer has a number, which appears in much of Japanese fiction, is based to some extent by them.
If you are well-versed in Japanese history and culture, it becomes easy to recognize the roots of such ideas that appear in manga/anime.

In fact, the biggest influence on KnY and JJK is undoubtedly HxH.
It's not just the superficial aspects like the characters' visuals or the use of swords, but rather the way the story unfolds and how the characters are handled, where you can feel Togashi's philosophy on a deeper level.
For example, if KnY were influenced by One Piece, Mugen Train arc would have ended with beating that sleep demon and Rengoku didn't die.

That's all just superficial stuff though

Yuji's character and story goes in a competently different direction the that of Naruto. His powers are different, his dream/end goal is different, as is his relationship with with his "inner demon". Thier personalities arent even close to being similar outside the fact that they are optimistic, cheerful and aren't all that academically gifted. Their back story is completely different as well, Yuji was never hated, nor did he grow up an orphan like Naruto did. He was rather well like by those around him and had a grandfather who was there for him for the majority of his life. They are nothing alike

The same goes for Megumi, Nobara and Gojo. None of them are similar to Team 7 when you truly look at it.

But I guess it makes sense because even Zombie Powder got cancelled. Kubo is the master of axes

Why nobody in West know that Naruto heavily plagiarized from Ushio and Tora?
This is very well known on the Japanese internet.
>>
>>268125877
Naruto has nothing beat. All the series it inspired has way more in common with Bleach than Naruto does.
>>
>>268126989
Look, man, the numbers don't lie. That's just how things ended up. Maybe in the future, a new manga will only be inspired by Bleach, which would make things equal.
>>
I'm going to be honest this whole inspired/influenced discussions in shounen always has the same two motivations. It's either used by people to prop up their own favorite shounen and shit on others or to dismiss newgens in discussions by using that against them.

This one annoys me especially. While I'm not a big fan of newgan shounen, seeing Bleach, Naruto, OP, DBZ etc. fans acts like a bunch of elitists and dismiss these new series just because they were inspired by them pissed me off. Especially when they blatantly ignore that their favorites were inspired by something as well

KnY clearly is. JJK may as well have no influence from Naruto given how superficial it is.>>268126775

>>268127489
Scroll up and see my 1st post. I said those were co-inspired by both Naruto and Bleach. This rage you have against Naruto is bizarre. Just relax man.
>>
One piece was the best prepared of the Big 3, which is not to say it was best or anything. You can see Bleach went into dodge the axe mode when pulling the Rukia kidnapping leading to battle gauntlet, and that Naruto gave up on the concept of missions for a tournament arc. Even if episodic, show up at new island with fantastical elements meet new friends and beat up assholes was easy to execute and understand. In fact, when One piece tried a tournament with the Davy Beck fights people call it canon filler to skip, and the Dresrosa tourney Luffy didnt even bother sticking to.

But when Marineford happened, boy did the other series copy that. Naruto and Bleach both conclude with a giant war. A war isnt really all that different from a tournament arc structurally, but a war has more stakes. But did they really copy OP? Did OP copy Naruto's timeskip or did they all rip off Dragon Ball? Was MHA inspired by Naruto to copy the kakashi intro for Eraser or did the editors just tell him to copy what worked for Naruto? Who cares he was influenced by Marvel comics more than anything, and even turned Deku into Spider-man with a venom rage form.

>>268127701
You can argue that TYBW is more of an invasion arc than a war arc.

How is demon slayer inspired by Naruto?
>>
>>268127975
Ask the author. She cited it alongside Bleach and JoJo.
>>
>>268128084
There is not a lick of naruto visible in Demon slayer though. If you wanna make this a competition about influence, you actually need to name series that take substantial inspiration from Naruto. Bleach already has its own.

All I am seeing is that Naruto's influence is slightly wider but way more superficial which unironically proves the OP right.
>>
>>268128272
>There is not a lick of naruto visible in Demon slayer though.
Dude, you are now attempting to say the mangaka that wrote the series is wrong and that a random 4chan user is actually totally right. Do you even hear yourself?
>If you wanna make this a competition about influence,
I don't. This is a bait thread.
>>
>>268128408
Read my post. No influence is visible, irrespective of what she says. Even if it's an influence, it's superficial enough to not even be visible in the manga.
>>
>>268128518
>>irrespective of what she says.
>the creator is wrong about what she took from
Alright, well, you clearly believe that authors don't know their own work, so I'll just take my leave here.

Do you have no reading comprehension? I am not arguing that it wasn't inspired by Naruto, I am saying Naruto's influence is completely dwarfed by Bleach's on KnY. You were using her statement as proof that Naruto has more influence when it's clear that Bleach's influence outweighs Naruto's by far on all 3 of the series in the OP.

Because Bleach is just cool, that's about it.

Sure it might be written like poo past soul society, sure the main character may have lost all his personality throughout the story, sure there may be asspulls all over the place, sure it may rehash plotlines, sure it may have plot conveniences, contrivances, and holes all over the place.
But it looks cool. Ichigo is cool. The characters are cool. The Shinigami are cool. The Zanpakuto are cool. Bankai and Shikais are cool. The captains are cool. The hollows are cool. The Espadas are cool. The Vizards are cool. The Soul Society is cool. Hueco Mundo is cool.

I haven't gave a single fuck about Bleach since I was an impressionable teenager. I completely grew out of it, but I'll still admit that it's cool.

Even it's soundtrack is cool.

>while Soul Society as an arc is excellent, it both feels disconnected from what happened before, and feels like it leads nowhere
That's sorta what was cool about it though.
I can only talk about bleach in terms of how I remember it from way back when, but I distinctly remember how absolutely excited I was at the idea of going to Soul Society, because I hadn't expected it.
It really feels like and adventure precisely because of that reason. One moment you think you're just watching a boy with shinigami powers killing some monsters in the real world, another moment our friend is kidnapped and we have to go right into the belly of the beast to save her. It wouldn't have worked as well if the story telegraphed the idea that we could or would go to the soul society at some point.

Also another thing to mention about Bleach is some of the story concepts can feel really natural when Kubo does it right.
Like the whole thing about hollows. At the start they're basically just monsters with masks. Then when Ichigo is trying to awaken his shinigami powers, he turns into a hollow for a second. Then waaaay later in the story it's brought back again when the mask comes back and it's fucking sick. He even learns to put the mask by his own later on. Then you have the Vizards and Arrancars that further develop on the concept of hollows.
It's just a really natural development for a plot device that seems to have come out of sheer coincidence.

Or when OMZ's real name is blotted out by Ichibe's ink when he tries to tell it to Ichigo all the way back in chapter 63.

Foreshadowing was one of Kubo's strengths. It was just that he didn't hold his audience's hand like many other shonen manga did/do. Hence all the accusations about asspulls and retcons.

Toriko got the push of the fucking century when it got paired with One Oiece and Dragon Ball in movies and even then it had to rush the ending and flopped.

Like do you legitimately think this makes Toriko look better than Bleach?
>>
>>268125255
>Toriko
The Big 3 never existed and Toriko is infinitely less popular than Bleach, the series only got massive shilling because the mangaka was Oda's friend.
>>
>>268131746
And its creator says that Bleach inspired him to become a mangaka. So not only has Bleach influenced all that Naruto has but also influenced them more strongly.
>>
>>268124334
Black clover also feels more of a Bleach clone than Naruto clone, though it has beats of both.
>>
>>268118669
I wish I could read Bleach for the first time in bulk
Although I loved the series as a teen, it was so slow I have a somewhat bittersweet memory of it because it was so slow it got frustrating at times
I kept on going weekly because I wanted to see the characters swords and shit and I had no self control to wait
But fuck yeah I read it again years later because it was a big part of my teen life and it's so fucking cool and the fights are sick
Since I'm getting nostalgic, shoutout to my boy Nnoitra. As a teen lanklet with long hair, this guy was so damn cool to me

Bleach was never in the big 3. Hxh was tho.

Reading Naruto back in the day was so hype for fans. The twists were so insane and often silly especially towards the end. The twist with rezzed Akatsuki etc. and later Madara was just bonkers.

just replace jutsu with spell and chakra with mana.

I've noticed I've gotten sick of anime and manga with this format. And I used to think it was because I got sick of anime tropes in general until I read a manga with a bunch of typical anime tropes that didn't have this format and really enjoyed it.
>>
>>268115834
It's curious that Bleach inspired more creative types to make a go at it in the industry. I think the stylization of Bleach was important for that. Even if Bleach lost the sales war it won or is at least won the legacy war.
