| Actually never seen much of any but I pick naruto for the german op... believe it RIP bleaches relevance. Hard to believe at one point it was near the same level of fame as naruto. |

| Obviously One piece,and despite how people feel about the anime I still like it and find enjoyment from it. And also,I don’t understand how people can simply brush off the fact that Naruto has one of the highest amounts of filler in shounen lol,it isn’t any better than One piece in terms of pacing. |

| Can you include an "I hate them all" option in the poll maybe? |
| One Piece of course. Is that even a question? |
| I haven't seen any of them so I can't choose one. |
     |
| Lol. One Piece and Naruto are dominating the polls as expected. It's quite simple for me really. Naruto is my favourite anime of all time. So it is Naruto. No matter how many better shonens I watch, Naruto will always stay close to my heart and will be the best anime for me. |

The things some people have problems with (the tragic backstories, the flashbacks) I actually really enjoy.

| One Piece is by far my favorite. I don't even see Naruto or Bleach as part of the big three. Also I haven't watched them yet. |
    SPRING |
| Naruto for me , rest I never been interested in watching (no offense feelings or hate against them, they aren't just my type) |
| One Piece (pre time skip)>Naruto>Naruto Shippuden>One Piece (Post time skip)>Bleach Overall I would still say One Piece even thought the post time skip is meh. |

| Surprised One Piece isn't winning by a wider margin considering it's supposedly the most beloved and least flawed of the 3. |
| I read and watched all of big 3,4 or even 5 and agree with Kobayasan said: One Piece easily, though i only read it and don't plan on watching the anime any time soon. Naruto is decent but it was slowly turning into shit as it progressed, and of course Bleach was good for one arc and was almost painful to watch afterwards. |
 |
| The only reason why Bleach is behind Naruto in this poll is because most Naruto fans didn't even read/watched Bleach. It is understandable because Bleach anime finished airing years ago, while many users here are new to anime lol. (I will probably understand if One Piece win by landslide, but there is no reason for One Piece and Naruto make a big 2 by leaving Bleach far behind except because of recently bias.) |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| One Piece is the most watchable from the bunch. It has weird, unexpected and interesting stuff going on once in a blue moon. The rest are mainly Obnoxious Boys Doing Obnoxious Things. DeadWeeaboo said: I haven't watched any of them... How are they the big 3(4?) anyway? You see, when you add the second season of Dragon Ball that those 5 become 3. Anime logic 101.

| I've watched all three. I dropped Naruto after Inoshikacho vs Hidan & Kakuzu Bleach is only great up until Hueco Mundo arc So, One Piece is my favorite among the three. It's also my all time favorite anime. |

| Gintama if you can consider it as one in a long run but it's still primarily a comedy series. Other than that hunter x hunter is also pretty good. |

| as someone who never really started one popular battle shounen before a less popular one, such as Naruto before Black Clover, I typically don't see the "copypasted" idea that people have. Most battles shounen are probably going to follow a similar arc structure from what I know, but I usually identify without having to ever compare. I could explain why I love my favorite, One Piece, but I promise you that there is no way, whatsoever that it will be anywhere less than thirty paragraphs, and that you definitely won't like the anime. The last time I wrote a review for that was 9-12 pages long, haha. I just can't find myself making it simple. I also tend to watch things by gut instinct and less by being recommended by others. An anime that I was recommended was Gintama. I've only seen the first eight episodes of Gintama but it wasn't much for me. It's too episodic for me, I have trouble sticking with anime that don't carry much story arcs. I stuck with Hitman Reborn because that was just the first nineteen episodes (even then I skipped a handful), far as I know Gintama is mainly episodic comedy with scattered story arcs. Unless it's your type of humour (which it definitely is not mine), go for it though just because everyone else does it anyway. Try Air Gear. It's the first anime I seriously watched that could be considered a "battle shounen". I haven't watched it in about 7-9 years at this point, but from what I remember its sense of character exposition and stakes definitely felt different from others. Also, if you're okay with dub only, or can understand Japanese without the need for subs, Oban Star Racers is another one you could try. Before Air Gear, I only really watched DB and Naruto on and off when it was sometimes on TV, but never long enough to get the whole story. You may like JoJo, Saint Seiya, Fist of the North Star, etc etc., give them a small chance and see what you think :) |

| My favorite battle fantasy is JoJo followed by One Piece. When it comes to this genre tho I think battles are more important than plots themselves, for shows mainly aimed at kids, I think battles that blow their minds matter more, not saying their plots are bad or anything, but that varies from one anime to another, and it's more of inspiration, less of "copypasting" like some mangakas who were inspired by Akira Toriyama for example, I also think the similarities they share probably has to do with the Japanese culture itself, I mean take western superheroes, aren't they ridiculously similar to each other? |

| You've watched over 1000 anime so I think it's safe to say you're just not a battle shonen guy. That said, you haven't seen 3 of my favorite battle shonen, Nanatsu no Taizai, Pokemon XYZ and Hinomaruzumou. None of them are that great, I just like them because I like them. I feel like battle shonen goes mostly by heart, if you love the characters and/or the theme you'll love the show no matter how mediocre it is. For example, I would love Hinomaruzumou simply because it's about sumo, and Pokemon XYZ because it's pokemon, that coupled with other good aspects like a very cool cast for both, an interesting slife of life-ish way of showing martial arts for Hinomaruzumou and a slightly more mature and intelligent Ash for XYZ make these shows stand out as some of my favorites |

Yes, JoJo's definitely has some of the best fight scenes. It consists of great power system, strategy from both parties and unpredictable outcome. |

| I like big three. A lot. I probably reread all of them atleast three times. Power system and characters are pretty unique, so I don't think they are copypasted. Also, Gintama. However, I think that Gintama is much more than your avarage battle shounen. |
| I like Mob, I don't know if it comes under battle shounen. |
  |
| I liked Hunter x Hunter very much with Naruto as a runner-up |
| according to my list its Fullmetal Alchemist, Mob Psycho 100 and Claymore |
| I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority when I say that Dragon Ball Z is my favourite show just in general. I know it's probably not the most complex piece of work and has tons of flaws regarding its power system, but it was a huge part in my life, so it holds a special place. |
| Some of the better ones I've seen are: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Claymore One Punch Man Kurokami Yu Yu Hakusho Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple Kaze no Stigma Buso Renkin Fullmetal Alchemist Noragami Inu Yasha Rurouni Kenshin Needless Fairy Tail Nura Flame of Recca The Seven Deadly Sins D.Gray-man Blue Exorcist Bungo Stray Dogs Magi Kekaishi Soul Eater |

| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| 1-hunter x hunter 2011 2- reborn 3-naruto (without fillers ) |
| Visually, it's easily Demon Slayer. Emotionally I'd either say Gintama, Black Clover, or MHA |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Attack on Titan, Hunter X Hunter(2011) and Jojo are best there is. They also have high ratings. Mod edit: Edited the post to work as standalone. |

| Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi and Yakitate!! Japan. One could say also Gintama but I prefer the non-battle shounen parts...not sure if that counts for "favourite battle shounen". |
its release on a seinen manga though source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Punch_Man |
| One Piece, My Hero Academia and Jojo's and while I do think that HxH is great I wouldn't call it my personal favorite. Attack on Titan, Beastars, Mob Psycho 100 and Pandora Hearts (Manga) are also in my favorites but they are more semi-battle shonens or whatever. |
| My favourite battle shounen are dragon ball and one piece.I really don’t mind a battle shounen being formulaic as long as there is elements that I like about them. Some people think that dragon ball is only all about screaming and fighting,but that’s not the case because there’s other things to like about it,such as its world,the mix between modern technology and old fashioned martial arts is pretty fascinating.There’s also loads of well designed and memorable characters. I like One piece for the same reasons,vast world,and loads of memorable characters.

Don't worry you're not alone.I know i'm pretty affected by nostalgia in regards to my feelings for the show,but i've found other things that i like about the show,so I don't agree with people that say it's only about screaming and fighting. The power system is not the best,but i can live with that,it's not the only thing the show has going for it. Mod edit: Merged double post. Please use the edit button. |

| Hunter X Hunter is without a doubt the best Battle shounen and a classic too in many genres like game isekai. |
ใใณใฎไธๅณ |
| Interesting how many seem to be under the impression fights + action + shounen = battle shounen. When in truth it's more about the narrative structure and the tropes featured. In a sense series like Bakuman and Shokugeki no Souma are more battle shounen than many title mentioned in this thread. As for my favorites battle shounen manga/anime One Piece JoJo HxH Naruto Dragon Ball Black Clover |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
