The $400-episode milestone

The anime adaptation of Bleach is concluding this summer after more than 400 episodes, marking a significant moment for the anime community.

This milestone brings viewers closer to finally settling which of the Big Three is the best,but a true consensus remains elusive until all three series are complete.

Thousand-Year Blood War: A highly anticipated conclusion

Bleach's final arc, titled Thousand-Year Blood War, has been highly anticipated since the manga ended in 2016.

The anime adaptation has been praised for its stunning animation and original content that addresses previous critiicisms of the source material.

The One Piece holdout

With the end of Bleach's anime, fans will soon be able to compare Bleach and Naruto as fully completed anime series.

Naruto's anime wrapped up in 2017, providing a definitive ending for its story, while One Piece remains incomplete, still ongoing in both manga and anime forms.

Years away from the finish line

The series is currently in its Final Saga, but the end is still years away, leaving fans to continue arguing over which series holds the crown.

Each has its own unique strengths and devoted fanbase, making the debate a contentious one.

What's next for the Big Three?

Until One Piece concludes, the debate cannot be fully resolved, but the conclusion of Bleach's anime is a monumental event that will undoubtedly fuel discussions for years to come.

As fans eagerly await the end of One Piece, they will be forced to reevaluate their opinions on the shonen genre's Big Three.
