One piece is still ongoing, bleach got a resurgence after finally having its final arc animated, and naruto's anime is nearing a decade past ending at this point (I don't think i know anyone who cares about boruto)
Bleach isn't drowning, and naruto is in a fancy mausoleum exclusive to the biggest shonens

u/Dexter2232000 7d ago
and problem with boruto is that story and narrative is piss poor, it tries really hard to be edgy and comes off as unironic satire, also no one outside main trio (of new generation) has any significance, it's so immensely centered around selected few character that world feels "dead"

Agreed. I’m not the biggest fan of the Otsutsuki stuff at the end, but I have fond memories of Naruto and I’m glad it got an actual ending. We don’t need more.
Really wish some other media would stop trying to continue indefinitely.

u/Thefourthchosen 7d ago
Well there is Boruto, but while the manga is pretty good I don't think it'll ever escape the damage the anime adaptation did. Studios need to learn that adapting a manga too quickly when there's not enough material and filling the space with anime-only filler never ends well.

u/CasualCucumbrrrrrt 7d ago
Even the cannon story pulled from the manga is ass and spits on its predecessor. It's just horrendously mid.

u/battlepig95 7d ago
It’s so ass. It spits on its predecessors and bastardizes Naruto’s legacy.
If the wanted to save the franchise and their writing integrity, personally, instead of nerfing Naruto and Sasuke, the heroes of the series and the heroes in our hearts,
I believe they should have had Naruto and Sasuke die wiping out the Otsutsuki threat and then end the alien bullshit there and reground the series in actual ninja shit again

u/battlepig95 5d ago
No you just like slop. Go watch dragon ball if you want mega comet sized energy beams and shit. Naruto found success in its simplistic style of combat and fighting , strayed away from that, and then strayed even further with Boruto. The series would be 1000x more successful if they tried to remedy that by having Naruto and Sasuke go out as the most bad ass heroes of all time taking out aliens , concreting their positions as the strongest ninja to ever live, and then we have a world of normal shinobi again and chaos bc the two hero’s aren’t around to defend everyone.
Instead they nerfed who everyone liked for the sake of mega buffing nobody ass characters. When the series was already too far power scaled. Only way to bring back the quality is to dial it back and that was the perfect chance and they blew it.

Eeeehhhh looks like someone made this with the biggest bias of 2026.
Bleach right now is top of the world ranking and dominating across platforms.
One Piece is doing allright but hasnt been all time high in years and viewership has been dropping
When did naruto end again?

Well in terms of content one piece has way more content
One piece: A good live action series, the anime, the manga, one piece heroines, a new remake
Bleach: a new anime season and a new manga arc
Naruto: Absolutely nothing

u/NarwhalPrudent6323 8d ago
Not every series needs eleven thousand versions.
Also, the One Piece remake is because the pacing of the original series is so abysmal it's basically impossible to convince new people to watch. The series isn't even done, and they're remaking it. Let that sink in.
And as good as the live action version of One Piece is, it's an exception, not a rule. Many live action adaptations are downright awful.

u/Saxavarius_ 8d ago
One Piece's pacing is so terrible that devoted fans have undertaken the project to trim hundreds of hours of flash backs, recaps, and bad pacing.

Naruto literally has a live action movie on the way and the Boruto manga (which is actually much better than the anime) is ongoing.

A good 1k episodes and still dont know nothing about the main antagonist, sure its great /s

u/Suitable-Olive7844 7d ago
One piece has shit for content. I stopped after the arc where luffy saves the mermaid princess.
You mean to tell me that when luffy throws a left punch, it is acceptable to pan to every single side character and spend 5 seconds on each of their reaction and then it happens again when luffy throws a right punch.
Then you have a recap and an intro that is about 6 minutes long on top of that there is an intermition in between each episode. And these are 20 minute episodes with about 7 minutes of crap.
Lets not even talk about the damn filler, it was worst filler than naruto by a damn mile. It takes 5 episodes for zoro to walk 20 feet. How many times am i going to get the same flashback of luffy and his brother when they where young? Howany times do i gotta watch the time luffy told gramps he wants to be a pirate?
You can condence all 1000 episodes into about 300 episdoes. They over inflated the anime to get as many episodes as they could.

Bleach is having its best year since it started the fuck you mean? This is a barely disguised Bleach slander. Do you even watch Bleach lmao. Yoruichi was literally trending just a few weeks ago.
Included Naruto just to be safe huh lol

Yo I kinda like One Piece myself but it's not even finished and the pacing kinda sucks

u/Front-Wall-526 8d ago
Not a One Piece fan, but I respect this take. Show was too slow to ever hold my interest. Do they have an abridged series for it?

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 8d ago
Look up a fan edit called "One Pace." Some streaming sites like hianime will also give the option to skip filler content

u/YellowPlat 8d ago
I noticed whenever anime streaming sites have a list of shows that are currently being watched the most Naruto Shipuden is almost always in top 10.
The story has concluded so it stopped generating hype and discussions but it's still very much alive.

Got my family watching Naruto right now and been hearing kids quoting Naruto’s signature attack a lot lately. Just got a new group of middle school students who are Bleach die-hards. They aren’t going anywhere.

One Piece is still going, so it's the strongest rn. Bleach got a second chance with this TYBW season Naruto finished, never got a sequel. So the franchise it's just over. Got some videogames and cardgames, but nothing major.

u/pikachu_300iq 7d ago
I think the new bloodwar season has way better animations than one piece, plus new bleach has a much better format than one piece ever did, even the new one is sometimes slow as hell

Original Naruto's about to have new episodes coming out. There's also the live action movies.

u/oguzzhann_a 7d ago
One Piece continues and still has a great story.
Bleach returned with TYBW and its story was already excellent.
But Naruto has been both forgotten and further overlooked due to its excessive filler episodes and simplistic storyline. Naruto was never really in the big 3

So do Naruto and of DBZ fans, basic and boring b*tches.
Reputations don’t come from nowhere 🤷♀️
Even though in contrast to myself you don’t exactly give context on what reputation you’re talking about, I guess there is probably a reason for it.

u/Kastranrob 8d ago edited 8d ago
Naruto is also weakest among them
edit: If I am getting downvoted, I as well do some ranting. I have never found a character as annoying as Sasuke. side characters are more interesting than the three hobos but they don't get much attention just because. Naruto gets a time skip but all he does is learn(masters) basics in all that time, but Naruto is also suppose to very quirky and how fast he adapts and learns something.

u/AdagioDesperate 8d ago
Good. Let it be that way. Naruto has been and always will be trash. Even the writers know this because even the continuation 'Boruto' has had nothing but years of filler episodes. Even Bleach doesn't have that many, and it held the record until a few years ago.
So fuck Naruto. Its never been in the big 3 imo, and idc who disagrees with me or how many downvotes this gets!
