all three of those had authors and artists that drew inspirations from various works they grew up with and didn't necessary try to mimic any of them or their success from the beginning. many of the works that came after them specifically drew inspirations from one of the three and tried to mimic their success and progression.

All three of them were bad. Most modern shounen are bad too, but the few that aren't are still better than those 3.

I think JJK is better than Naruto and Bleach. I liked Demon Slayer, but I'm not even really sure if it should be classified as battle shounen. I kinda' want to so there's three of the era, but it's basically just kids swinging swords around.

This is sort of true. While it's true MHA is mostly a remix of Naruto and JJK is mostly just every battle shounen tossed into a blender, Demon Slayer took very little from the Big 3. Before reading Demon Slayer, I heard people say it was inspired by Naruto and maybe Bleach. I read it and no it is not. Rengoku getting donuted is obviously inspired by Ace in One Piece and I think there's a couple other moments that made me think of the big battle shounen, but for the most part Demon Slayer is inspired by early JoJo: it's all about former humans who disintegrate in sunlight being hunted down by people who have learned how to breathe in a certain way that allows them to harness the sunlight in their martial arts. I'm shocked I've never heard someone say this before, everyone always mentions the Big 3 instead. There's very little Big 3 in it. Of course, it's not like MHA and JJK don't have bits of other stuff in them, as well: MHA is obviously inspired in part by American comics and JJK has a lot of references to NGE.

But the other problem with your assessment is that the Big 3 absolutely wear their influences on their sleeve. Bleach starts off as a pretty obvious YuYu Hakusho rip-off, which a lot of people disliked about it. One Piece marries early and later Dragon Ball, with the protagonists being a fusion of the gangs from Wizard of Oz and Lupin III, and full of references to American films, even from very early on. And what Horikoshi did to Naruto is the same thing Kishimoto did to Dragon Ball: remixed the story but this time his favorite character was the MC (Horikoshi made Rock Lee his MC, Kishimoto made Krillin his MC), but instead of using the plot of Dragon Ball (what plot?), he used Berserk instead

Bleach isn't as good as naruto or one piece, even ruroni kenshin has better battles then bleach.

Didn't Kakyoin get donuted? Probably got that from JoJo too.
