So, which one deserves the title of worst battle shounen ever made?

So, which one deserves the title of worst battle shounen ever made?

So do you just make a new thread when you get bored or what?

Bleach at least had variety, characters lost fights most of the time, every Fairy shit arc is the same, bad guy > everyone wins a solo fight > Natsu beats the big bad with power of friendship.

>asking for worst battle shounen
>doesn't post best battle shounen

This isn't JoJo

>worst battle shounen
Saying "worst" battle shounen is like saying "smelliest" shit.

Bleach jumped the shark after soul society arc, Fairy Tail jumped the shark after chapter 1

Bleach had Aizen and some decent memes. Fairy Tail has hot bitches

Something that got cancelled

One piss.

Fairy Tale easily.

Bleach doesn't rely on fanservice.

The one that didn't get cancelled.

Fairy Tail.
Just opening the book made me wanna kill every single character.

Fairy tail a thousand times

>bleach was cancelled

I love this meme.

It's the same guy spamming these threads.

Bleach might have become shit, but the word shit isn't even enough to describe FT.

Neither, I don't think anything popular can reasonably be the worst of its kind. Both have to excel in some aspects, even if they're abysmal in most others.

Listen, Bleach actually entertains, Fairy Tale is literally worthless. If you like Fairy Tale (past maybe just jacking off to it) you are a troglodite

Or fairy tail I can't fucking remember its stupid name

...

Black Clover isn't as bad as Fairy Tail

>black clover

I'm fucking mad. This mangaka showed so much promise with the oneshot of Hungry Joker, then it got edited to shit for serialization, then canceled, and now this is all we have. Fuck.

Bleach isn't even close to worst. It's like a 6 or 7 out of 10

Generic != terrible


People suffer from recency effect when it comes to quality or lack thereof

Was this really that bad? It seemed to run for a pretty long time, at any rate.

How has nobody mentioned Naruto

probably not the worst battle shounen either but something I would rank under bleach along with soul eater, marchen awakens romance, d. grayman divinity

I can respect Naruto for having the least fanservice of the big three.

Fairy Tail is so generic and uninspired it's hard to consider it the worst. It just follows battle shounen tropes to the letter.

Bleach tried something a bit different but it came out horribly.

It was fun at times. But the plot was unsalvageable after the first Future arc.

I meant something actually cancelled, like lady justice or something along those lines.

Is this a joke?

Bleach had a fully realized setting, compelling villains and entettaining fights. The characters were shallow as all hell on account of there being so many of them, but at least Kubo had the decency not to turn them into caricatures unlike Fairy Tail. In FT how you see Natsu/Lucy/Erza/etc reacting to things on episode 5 is exactly how they will still be reacting to things on episode 250. FT characters have one trope that gets played up at each and every single opportunity for literally hundreds of episodes/chapters.

Fairy Tail also has had absolutely no interesting villains or long-form arcs, its setting has always been an afterthought and the battles are god awful because the mangaka is lazy as fuck and couldn't be bother to even try developing an interesting battle system.

As stupid as Bleach was, it was leagues ahead of anything FT has ever done.

FT is battle shounen for kids too stupid to watch porn.

How so? All you have to do is be entertaining to be popular. Just look at all the faggots who suck Jojo's cock on Sup Forums for a good example.

Naruto is honestly better than Bleach.

The only edge bleach has is that the fillers were better and it didnt go on a 2+ year idk what fest over in naruto land. The fillers were unbearable. In terms of manga though naruto wrapped up pretty nicely. Far better than the last arc of Bleach.

Your ending has a huge impact on how well written your manga is as a whole. Even if bleach had some sort of edge over Naruto storywise it was thrown down the shitter with the ending. You can't even tell if half the characters are dead or alive. It's ridiculous

It's hard to have fanservice when you struggle to even produce passable art to begin with.

Kishi art is literally amazing though, no amount of cherry picking will change that, also naruto was consistently interesting people stop caring about bleach right after the soul society arc.

Kishi was also able to consistently build character dramas and had a pretty great climax by the end of it all.

Naruto is by no means a bad manga, yes it would have been decent overall if they cut out the third war all together but it's fine for what it was.

Naruto went to shit as soon as Pt 2 started

Bleach and Naruto had strong starts, they just overstayed their welcomes.
Bleach should've ended in the battle with Aizen
Naruto after Pain and even that is a bit too much.
Fairy Tail never had something good, is just generic.
There are far worse battle manga out there though.

Yeah, I feel like people who call Naruto, Bleach, etc. shit haven't read enough manga. They've never experienced something that's actually shit. Pic related.

How many decent characters do Bleach have compared to Naruto? Alot more my main man.

Naruto and Bleach were both great battle shounen up until the end of Aizen/Pain.

Truly shit shounen is stuff like:
666 Satan
Law of Ueki
Gash Bell
Shaman King

I did enjoy the battles and a few of the story arcs but my god, the author of this knew how to make some insufferable ass characters. Never before have I wanted to kill children so badly.

>Ueki
>Gash
>Shaman King
>shit

Better than Fairy Tail.

Bleach had way more characters in general.

Just because they're less popular doesn't make them good

Ueki and Shaman King I can admit might be tinted by nostalgia, but Gash is definitely a great manga.

lame and boring

No, Shaman King is still great.

Anything can try to be entertaining. Doesn't guarantee it'll be any good.

>a product's primary goal is to be entertaining
>It succedes at being entertaining
>It's good at its job
It's good at the only metric that really matters when that is the case.

Fairy Tail probably has the worst fights of any shonen manga. At least a few of Bleach's fights were interesting. Still, even the best fights in Bleach were pretty shit compared to many other series.

On the other hand, Fairy Tail has top-tier fan service and blows Bleach and most other shonen manga out of the water in that regard.

So I'd have to say Bleach is the worst battle shonen ever made. The only thing it excelled out, battles, is totally overshadowed by many other shonen series.

>Fairy Tail probably has the worst fights of any shonen manga.
I think the fight choreography is pretty good, it just gets ruined when Mashima starts to put his nakama bs in them.

half of the fights in Fairy Tail are FT members one-shotting their opponents.

When was the last time a fight in Fairy Tail lasted for more than 2-3 chapters?

Most every shonen manga is trying to do that and not every one of them succeed at it. Can't say it's as easy as 'just' being entertaining.

>When was the last time a fight in Fairy Tail lasted for more than 2-3 chapters?
a long time ago. everything post timeskip has been shit, but the earlier fights like the ones in the Phantom Lord arc, Tower of Paradise arc, Fighting Festival arc were pretty entertaining fights.

Fairy Shit. Atleast Bleach didnt make me want to strangle the writer.
EVERY.
FUCKING.
CHAPTER.

Neither. The actual worst would be something that no one read cause it was dog awful and got cancelled before it got known.

fairy tale without a doubt, every battle is the same shit

>hot bitches
Oh, good, something we can get in literally every other genre, how impressive.

it won't even make it that far. the publisher would look at the manuscript and take a shit on it.

I'm wondering how he can possibly top the most recent chapter

>Zeref's right-hand man beaten in 2 chapters
>Character dramatically killed off asspulled back to life the very next chapter
>defeated villain is revived, stronger than before, one-shotted by MC

imho there has been a noticeable decline in quality since the Fighting Festival arc.

All of the characters introduced since then, particularly the villains, have been uninteresting, and all of the fights have been boring/lame.

And I'm getting so fucking sick of this "introduce a villain far stronger than any of the previous villains, and have him job his ass off hard and get wrecked in 3 chapters or less"

Not even close, user, naruto was just a lot more focused

One Piece isn't Battle Shounen you daft twit, it's genre is Adventure.
The series has the occasional fight but that's not the focus of the story, unlike true Battle series like Kingdom, Jojo or Dragonball (or One Punch Man, but as a joke).

Is Jojolion a battle series?

Not to mention the bullshit that happens. Look at the assassin
>Secret Technique: Shutting my eyes
Hey! He you! Yeah You! You know who else can shut their eyes? Me motherfucker.

hey man lady justice was fun

Not him, but that's a good question. I'm not sure.

Even if it is, Jojo is a Seinen now and not relevant to this thread as of Part 7

At this point, i wonder why he wasnt the one to be cancelled rather than Kubo. Ffs, id rather wait another 5 years of Kubo's pacing than to sit through pannels and pannels of pointless bullshit, something that Mr. Sage here said . I mean, is he even trying anymore? I swearm its nothing but fan service, fan service, fan service, new major villain, major villain gets one panneled, tries to water it down with fan service, rinse repeat. And also, whats with him using the same frames over and over again. I have seen natsu and other characters in the same pose for the time ive been reading. Fuc this. Fuck this Manga, Fuck the anime, i hope it got cancelled, and FUCK YOU Mashima.

Anyone has Weekly Shōnen Magazine Rankings anyways?

>it's genre is Adventure.
I love this meme. Stay deluded Pissfags.

Bleach was great until they went to mexico. FT has always been shit but it was good shit up until the end of tenrou island.

Bleach had the SS arc, and some parts of the hueco mundo arc and quincy war arc were actually good.

Fairy tail doesn't have any good arcs, is just a gag manga with a lot of ecchi

THICC

Yeah main characters who actually win their battles and have some development. Where Naruto is atrocious in its execution.

It's better than dumb normie shit like jojo or hxh. Naruto was great looking back, Sup Forums just has shit taste.

I'd take either of those over Beet the Vandel Buster.

I concur.

literally what

a true man of taste

Bleach

The one that get cancelled.

>Naruto
>It's about the life of a guy named Naruto
>One Piece
>It's about a group of pirates and their adventures to find One Piece
>Fairy Tail
>It's about the magic guild named Fairy Tail
>Bleach
>???

That's the joke.

Bleach easily. Natsu can actually walk the walk. Ichigo can never win a fight without either an assheap of luck or a third party saving his ass, besides Ginjo and Aizen

>Jason Statham lost against friendship power
how

>Bleachfags in denial

L O L
O

I feel like this was more like a middle finger to the people who take this manga too seriously. Maybe it was a poor writing choice all things considered, but that's the message I got from it. That could have been the point of it turning out that way to begin with.

>soul eater,
Opinion discarded

Actually Urahara stepped into the Aizen fight, and the gotei 13 gave ichigo the power to fight Ginjo

So basically Ichigo can't win a fight without an assheap of luck or a third party saving his ass period. Ok.

There is a difference between taking something too seriously and getting totally betrayed on strictly ALL all levels and after YEARS of following a story.
The fans have been patient, indulgent, they even forced themselves to find humor in things that were perfectly acceptable reasons to drop the manga.
Now see the result. An author who saw his sales drop so badly that he was asked to end his manga, and chose to punish who? The fans. Not even his publishers because they have been making LOTS of money till now, but the most concerned and faithful till the end: the fans.
Oh I hope he rots in Hell. And I'm not even a fan. God I'm glad I'm not one.

This. Also, Lucy gradually loses her clothes as each arc progresses consistently.

>low level reader that doesn't understand even the most basic formula

This is sad.

I understand Fairy Tail's formula just fine. I'm talking about how Ichigo can never win a major battle without outside help. Byakuya, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, just to name a few.

Fuck it, I was going to read some comics after I finished Steel Ball Run, because I wanted to take a break from manga, but no, I have decided to read every battle shounen ever made. Post all the stuff.

Fair enough, but I still find that I enjoy it better as satire, even though I know it's not, than a legitimate battle manga with tna. At this point I'm only loosely keeping up so I can see the ending. Morbid curiosity and all that.

Why does it seem like you segued into a Bleach rant there all of a sudden?

FT. It's a shameless rip-off of every modern battle shounen, including bleach.
