| When people say the "Big Three" they are generally talking about One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, the 3 manga that filled the void Dragon Ball left after it concluded. But I'd argue that the Big Three has evolved and changed over time. I consider Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto to be the true Big Three, as these are the three Shonen Jump manga with the highest total gross and largest cultural impact. In addition, Jump treats these three like the Big Three anyways, making them the selling points for products like Jump Force, as Bleach proved to be a commercial failure later in its life. Would you agree with my assessment, or do you think different anime should make up the big three? |

| What are the big 3 imouto anime ????? |
 |
| the big three will always be one piece, naruto and bleach |
| ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| Because these "Big Three" were all popluar at the same period? (99-04). I mean, why would you even put a classic shounen from the 80s with them? |
 |
| Big 3 are B,O,N because that term only exist in certain period (2000s). |

| the true big 3 is one piece, naruto ,bleach. dragon ball was more of the grandfather to those 3 since it came first so thats why most claim it with the big 3, but big 3 is the one I stated above. |

A time where three big manga and anime existed and popularized anime in the early 2000s. Those are One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. No exception. |

| funny thing is that no one even gives a damn anymore about this concept. |
| Bleach, naruto and one piece will always be the big three. There can be new shounens in the future that become popular but when I think of "big three", I think of this group |

| Big three Shounen still same Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach. But for big three romance I Will go with: -Oregairu -Maid Sama -Akatsuki no Yona |
Was literally on here to say exactly this. These were the original 'big three' It should be noted, however, that the term 'big three' didn't become a thing until the early 2000s when One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto were the top shounen anime. |
| If you disagree with any thoughts or opinions expressed in the above post, you're wrong and I hate you forever! |
| THIS. THIS. AND THIS.    These three made huge impact on the industry like none other. |
| i think the big three will always be one piece, naruto, and bleach in my mind, but i think the new-gen big three should be jujutsu kaisen, my hero, and chainsaw man. maybe something else instead of csm, but that was the first thing that came to my mind. |
| Big three will always be One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. Fairy Tail is on the side. And DBZ is the godfather. |
| Big three has been always Bleach - Naruto - One Piece Any other so-called Big Three are just whatever self-made three favorite anime of whoever is speaking. |

No exception. Agreed. The Big 3 isn't an opinion; it's not about which series people think are 'the best' or any sort of designation of quality. "The Big Three was a term used to describe the three most popular running series during their golden age in Jump's mid 2000s period - One Piece, Naruto and Bleach." Like, you can have your own thoughts about whether or not you actually like any of the 3. But that doesn't change the fact that they are the Big 3. |
| The original shounen Big Three are no longer as relevant as in their prime. I would argue that at some point Gintama, Jojo and BNHA were the Big Three. Maybe they still are right now. |
 |
| The big three is a ancient term which doesn't apply anymore. |
 |
| Honestly when it comes to the west I doubt that I would even count One Piece in the big three it was popular sure but not as Dragon Ball or Naruto in the slightest. I would say that the "real" big three/four are DBZ, Naruto and MHA/AOT because these anime got a lot more people into the medium in different time periods DBZ-late 90's/early 00's Naruto Late 00's/Early 10's MHA/AOT Late 10's (and early 10's in the case of AOT) |

| the big 3 refers to the 3 main shows in the 2000's period of time which are - One Piece - Naruto - Bleach idk why you peeps are getting heated over this because it's not hard and it only refers to the 2000's period. |
   Has a 8.60 mean score Akasaka > Other Mangakas  |
| Bleach isn't even considered classics. Doraemon, Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, One Piece, Naruto, etc deserves more spotlight. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| So, the 3 big series that coined the term "Big 3" are One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. There is no other big 3. There is no changing this. There is no new big 3, or adjusting the big 3 to fit yours or anyone else's idea of what the big 3 "should be". It is perfectly okay to dislike or to not see it that way if you so choose. But the only reason you are writing a forum with big 3 in the title, is because big 3 is a title that exists. And said title belongs to, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. It is as true as the sky is blue and the grass is green. |

| DBZ cannot be considered one of the Big 3 because the anime had already ended its original run long before One Piece, Naruto and Bleach started airing and the term was even born in the first place (yes, there was GT, but nobody cares about that one). And by the time DB Super became a thing, Bleach and Naruto had ended their anime run (yes, there is Boruto, but nobody cares about that one); then, the DBS anime ended its run a few years ago, so now only One Piece remains, really. So basically there is no such thing as a Big 3 anymore and there won't be a "new" one for the foreseeable future. |

You are trying to take a term that was used to describe the state of the manga industry in the 2000s and apply it outside that context. |
Tom & Jerry would have a 9 from me, lmao. My favorite classic. |
