The New Big Three

[Justin Lewis]

The New Big Three

[Luis Watson]

What's the one on the left?

[Ryder Ramirez]

I hate that picture of Luffy they reuse, he looks so downsy.

[Aiden Adams]

reddit zero

[Jacob Edwards]

to be this new

Hinata from Haikyuu

[Jace Fisher]

Isn't Dragonball still more popular than those three?

[Wyatt Thompson]

DBS isn't running in WSJ, nigga.

[Hunter Diaz]

It should've be The Big Four.
I mean, what about SnS?

[Bentley Ramirez]

Probably in the west but in japan one piece is king and IIRC kids been playing more volleyball thanks to haikyuu.

IDK bout boku no hero but that shit is popular as fuck as well.

[Liam James]

So these are all their 2016 titles from all their magazines right?

[Jack Baker]

One Piece is so much bigger than those other two that it's really kind of misleading to lump them in together as the "Big Three." It suggests that they're in the same weight class. If anything you should start counting from second place and simply call them the "Three Stragglers" or something like that.

[Justin Harris]

No Ichigo

That's fucked up

Does WSJ just not like Tite kubo or some shit? Did he piss them off at one point?

[Nathaniel Morales]

tfw none of the new shonen are enjoyable or fun

[Brody Parker]

Bleachfags BTFO

[Charles Flores]

Not anymore, me guess.

[Kevin Davis]

Hakyuu I think? I'm really out of touch with these times, I used to be more simple with just Naruto, Bleach and OP around. I thought Shokugeki would have been one of the big 3-4 by now.

[Cooper Ward]

no boruto either

why is one piece still popular but those two dead?

[Tyler Bennett]

Haikyuu
Wasn't that SnS?

[Henry Long]

Haikyuu sells 700k per volume, it may not be wanpiss tier but far ahead of any typical manga

[Luis Morgan]

Goku looks so so out of place in these posters. He's like a grandpa (well actually he really is) who is trying to act cool.

[Owen Morris]

One Piece
Haikyuu
Shokugeki no Soma
Boku no Hero Acadamia

Those 4 are WSJ biggest hits right now

[Daniel Robinson]

Haikyuu sell a lot more than SnS

[Liam Ward]

SnS has been tanking in the rankings recently.

[Juan Stewart]

No Ichigo
Gon is still there
feels good man

[Robert Butler]

"new" big 3
implying the big 3 isn't just an historic label

[Carter Nelson]

Ichigo is still there though.
You see that snot under Naruto's nose? That's Chigo.

[Nathan Howard]

Stop this meme

[Wyatt Thompson]

Why is Phoenix Wright in WSJ?

[James Rivera]

Not a meme, because it's the truth.

[Blake Price]

Soma
Not with recent rankings

[Ryder Carter]

Kubo must be in very bad terms with the executives if Ichigo is not there

[Asher Morgan]

Bleach ended, all the series on there are ongoing

inb4 what about Naruto, Kochikame, Toriko, AssClass, KnB, Prince of Tennis, DBZ, Nube sensei

all theses series either have ongoing anime or ongoing spinoff or ongoing sequel (Toriko spinoff ends Dec 31)

[Joshua Sanchez]

Sales wise it still pushes 400k

[Sebastian Evans]

Read

[Carson Morgan]

2 novels and a live action, not the best, but it's still something

[Christian Smith]

Can we talk about Beet at the top right tho

[Matthew Parker]

I don't think many realize just how much Haikyuu sells. It was even selling more than Naruto when it was still running.
It pretty much absorb the Kuroko no Basket Fujo audience when that series ended and exploded in popularity once it anime came out.

[Julian Reed]

Naruto
no Ichigo

[Ayden Cruz]

So is Ichigo just not on this picture at all?

I don't think many realize just how much Haikyuu sells
Well that's probably because nobody on Sup Forums actually reads it.

I've been saying how popular it is for months. I was honestly wondering how anybody thought Nigga Clover was more popular than it

[William Carter]

four Dragon Ball characters
no ichigo

[Jayden Cooper]

Light novel =/=anime and manga
Live action =/= anime and manga

you should know, Shueisha prints its light novel under J-Books brand not under Jump Comics brand like their shonen anime and manga

[Thomas Bell]

Luffy and Yuya appear twice

[James Kelly]

Naruto anime is ongoing
Boruto manga is ongoing
Sasuke chibi manga is ongoing

Dragon Ball Super is ongoing
Dragon Ball Chibi manga is ongoing
Dragon Ball Heroes is ongoing
Trunks Dark Spirit Mission is ongoing

[Christopher Morgan]

yeah, but the point of that poster is to shill

[Camden Williams]

Then why's Toriko there?

[Lincoln Clark]

One Piece is ongoing
One Piece Party manga is ongoing
Yugioh Arc V is ongoing
Yugioh Arc V chibi manga is ongoing

[Adam Johnson]

shill manga

Toriko chibi spinoff have not ended yet, it will end in new year eve Dec 31

[Benjamin Wilson]

That World End manga with the FeMC about aliens that replace humans is still ongoing? Huh.

[Landon Mitchell]

Also Boruto anime is confirmed as far as I'm concerned, fuck that shit.

[Ryan Morgan]

I know the Boku no Hero greatness but who the fuck are the other two?

[Adam Cooper]

There will never be another big three again. The anime craze in the west that was present in the 2000s isnt what it used to be.

[Aaron Sanchez]

The big three will forever be

Onepiece
Bleach
Naruto

Stop trying to force a new big three

[Jonathan Price]

rankings
stop this meme

[Luke Johnson]

honestly this, i mean, this term is mostly western, all came at the right time, long anime is dying already and i don't see other big anime boom in the future, and the only one left is the weakest in terms of western popularity

[Justin Ross]

It was even selling more than Naruto when it was still running.
No it wasn't. Its boost didn't happen until the anime premiered which was the same year Naruto ended.

[Thomas Mitchell]

It's the New Big Three. Get over it.

[Austin Gomez]

If it weren't for Togashi's health, pic related would be up there, too.

[Isaac Watson]

health

[Austin Taylor]

Health
Implying he's not being a lazy nigger playing Dragon Quest

[Logan Jackson]

no Burichi
Jump really hates Kubo.

[Justin Lee]

nigga clover prominent right behind and aiming for boku no pico academy's spot

I see you Shonen Jump

[Lucas Hughes]

Don't undermine chronic back pain.

[John Brown]

WSJ people are probably Ichirukis like many nippon fans so they are still butthurt over Kubo's last Fuck You.

[Mason Martinez]

its hard to say its an outdated term when the graphic designers at jump always seem to gravitate towards making 3 series much bigger than the others in group compositions

[Christopher Reyes]

theres a resurgence right now, bunch of new fans are coming in through the new gateway shit, onepunch man and attack on titan

[Jackson Miller]

What is it about Togashi that so many people think he's lying about his health? Oda and the World Trigger guy don't get nearly as many accusations.

[Daniel Cox]

What the hell kind of health issues make a guy go a full two years without working? Oda takes one-week breaks from time to time, that's understandable (but probably also bullshit).

[Easton Sanchez]

Because there's nothing to accuse them for unlike Togashi.

[Jaxon Scott]

Does someone have comparison figures between the peak of WSJ combo vs now?

[Jose Martin]

Ongoing manga that are printed under Jump Comics label and not in the pic:
Captain Tsubasa
Kinnikuman
Rurouni Kenshin: Hakkido arc
JoJolion
One Punch Man
Otoko Zaka

you don't hear their fans complaining like a certain crybabies fandom

[Isaiah Bell]

Onepunch Man shouldn't be in that list, it was never in WSJ.

[Kevin Barnes]

reread that post

[Parker Evans]

When I played football in highschool one of my teammates hurt his back in a car accident and was out for the rest of the season

5 years later he's still not allowed by doctors to practice any type of physical sport or else he might get paralyzed

[John Carter]

so?

[Caleb Carter]

I know.
It's printed under Jump Comics label unlike the rest of seinen stuff that are printed under Young Jump label

you can google its volumes and check for the label yourself

[Hudson Harris]

back injuries are dangerous as fuck dude

[David Sullivan]

Isn't that Ichigo's son?

[Tyler Cook]

Oh, that's weird. Don't D.Gray-Man and To-Love-Ru have that label as well? or are those in the pic and I'm just going blind?

[Logan Mitchell]

One Piece is the best selling manga of all time

[Brody Baker]

Yes but for sitting still and drawing?
If you're that crippled just retire and collect disability benefits.

[Matthew Perry]

Allen near Luffy's right eyes
Momo under Boruto

[Jackson Richardson]

leaning on a desk for a long time is very bad for your back

I thought this was common knowledge?

[Kayden Peterson]

Whether you or anyone else wants to admit it, Bleach was a big fucking thing for many years and helped WSJ alongside One piece and Naruto.

90 Million copies sold worldwide, I think it deserves to be acknowledged just a bit.

And this is coming from someone who hated Bleach after the SS Arc

[Evan Wright]

Then you just eat vicodin enough to dull the pain, you dont need the back to do anything special.

[Alexander Roberts]

Hold on, Tanoshii Ping Pong is from the Jump? Then a next saeson is not such a crazy idea.

[Daniel Gray]

It was a big deal, but I don't think it "helped WSJ" as much as you think.

Bleach just happened to be there when manga got a huge fucking boom outside of Japan, so it's worldwide popularity exploded. In Japan, where WSJ actually sells, it doesn't even compare to OP, Naruto or HxH, which should be the real big 3.

[Michael Morgan]

there's a manga that is a comicalization of the games in V Jump

Digimon and Dragon Quest and Monster Strike and Machi koro games are in pic too

[Aiden Ross]

What part of only ongoing you don't get?

[Samuel Jackson]

helped WSJ alongside One piece and Naruto
An oxymoron, with those two, WSJ didn't really need Bleach's help, all it did was add to their riches.

[Juan Smith]

Is haikyuu really that popular? I thought kids would stay away with that yaoi pandering.

[John Cooper]

Suppose it appeals to same crowd as eyeshield 21

[Austin Roberts]

why is one piece still a thing?

[Caleb Wilson]

It's like Psycho Pass and Qualidea Code

the manga adapt the anime not the other way around

[Angel Clark]

I mean I enjoy it, I'm just really surprised it's this popular.

[Samuel Garcia]

haikyu broke the 1 million sales per volume ceiling this year. It took an entire year to do so its not as impressive as naruto, but that still puts it in the top 1% of manga to ever exist.

[Jordan Brooks]

I forgot to Taiyou no Makibaoh, it's still ongoing

but I guess no one on Sup Forums ever heard of it

[Tyler Moore]

I mean even if you hate it, it's popular. Just rationalize it as Jump milking their fattest cow.

[Luke Stewart]

responding to an obvious bait

why user....

[Justin Sullivan]

OP seems to break some rules of good cartoons/stories. Too many characters, too busy pages, too much nonsense dialogue.
Eh?

[Xavier Bailey]

Put your fujoshi faggot google away. It's shounen not your yaoi doujin fanfic.
This is reallly an idiot statement because hxh never really ever have been a big hit all. to compare to bleach really some high delusion. s

[Evan Harris]

And we all see where WSJ is now

[Noah White]

no ichigo
BLEACHFAGS BTFO
KUBO TITE EPIC BTFO

[Dylan Wilson]

Asta behind midoriya

[Brody Martinez]

Ichigo is the most forgettable and unimportant mc to ever grace a series, so maybe its good hes not taking space.

[Dylan Jackson]

opinions

[Austin Nelson]

How is hero academia not canceled by now? the manga is complete trash.

[Michael Long]

I'm guessing it's because people like it.

[Jose Gutierrez]

Bleach: 87 million sales/74 volumes
HxH: 66 million sales/33 volumes

I don't really know how to find old numbers, but HxH clearly sold a lot more than Bleach before Togashi became a lazy fuck.

[Jace Rogers]

When it comes down to it everything is just opinions and wether its considered true relies on how many people believe said opinion.

[Sebastian Foster]

He could get a slanted desk to draw on. There are ergonomic ways to be an artist, otherwise Oda would have been out of the business by now, considering how much he has drawn.

[Christopher Reyes]

Because Oda still puts out a chapter at least every other week and World Trigger sucks so no one cares.

[Elijah Peterson]

I like little girls, faggot. Go shitpost somewhere else, fucking autist.

[Thomas Martinez]

old people are hard to teach how to use new technologies

and for artists you can't tell someone who have been drawing a certain way for 20 years to start drawing using a different technique

and regarding the Oda comment, different people, different genes, different life experiences, different backs

[Brayden Collins]

source my ass
Even that still lag far behind
HxH has only little anime that's serialized and even movie far far behind, compared to bleach like earth and sky.
no argument only shitpost
i should have the one told you that, idiot.

[Asher James]

People like eating the same shit. They lie to themselves that's it's different when it's not.

[James Adams]

I knew that changing an artists drawing method would be brought up.

If my career AND my health were on the line, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I would adjust to whatever method I had to to keep them both.

He decided to retire, that would be one thing. It's understandable for him to stop doing something that is damaging his body, but he insists on dragging his readers slowly through the gravel. It's disrespectful to his followers.

[Lucas Collins]

It's Naruto-clone fujobait riding the wave of capeshit popularity and getting shilled hard by WSJ. It's not getting cancelled for years.

[Benjamin Lopez]

still reading shounen jump manga

Pfft Weekly Young Jump has better manga series.

Besides OP and ass class Kingdom bigger than everything ongoing on the pic

[Benjamin Long]

take your (You) and fuck off

[Caleb Ward]

No faggot. It never existed

[Jayden Adams]

Clearly it did and you just can't accept it

[Asher Morales]

I only care about Gintama.

[Jordan Jones]

Rooting for based Banba.

[Anthony Ortiz]

it's one of the pleasant surprises that i'm having this year

[Ryan Hill]

Look at this loser reading Young Jump
If you gonna hop on the WSJ hate bandwagon at least do it properly. By reading Jump Square.

[Grayson Flores]

I like him too, but it won't last more than a few months, just watch.

[William Morgan]

Seem like they just announce the anime for Black Clover
youtube.com/watch?v=raeEGnX3ReA

I mean it was pretty obvious it was coming, studio is studio-pierrot

[Samuel Foster]

so
One piece
Who
Who

[Anthony Rodriguez]

that dodging animation is the absolute worst

i hope we get to see naked aster at least. yummiest boy of jump. Screw that faggot of Deku stealing spotlight from Kacchan.

[Julian Gonzalez]

Don't lump One Shit in with two actually good series, fuckstick. That's how cancer metastasizes.

[Gabriel Carter]

After that trainwreck of a final arc, it's beyond me how anybody still cares about that shit franchise.

[Bentley Gomez]

Yeah it's weird. I'm not sure why people think he's lazy.

[Matthew Harris]

unironically i liked most of the last arc, it's just l
the last 8 chapters that left a bad after taste,even then you could tell what Kubo had in mind with the plot, but didn't have the time to adress all of the loose ties he left in the way, the pacing was always a weak point in Bleach, so i don't know why people complain about it as if it's that arc exclusive problem

[Chase Butler]

even then you could tell what Kubo had in mind with the plot

Awesome, what was the soul king? I've been wondering about that.

[James Kelly]

a Quincy

[Evan Johnson]

Was he literally Bach's father? Was he conscious? How did he know about Ichigo? How did he end up there? Why were his limbs all over the place? What did he do to keep the balance? Why did Aizen hate him?

[David Russell]

Boruto hasn't even started.

It's a one month shit that's regurgitating the movie. That was always a terrible idea

[Nathaniel Carter]

Reminder that THIS would have been on WSJ if they hadn't gotten a pissy with Murata

[Asher Hernandez]

was he literally Bach's father?
why would Bach of all the people refer to someone as his father if it wasn't?
how did he knew about Ichigo?
he is the soul king, he must know at least some shit, besides, plot convenience
how did he ended up there?
it was kinda hinted that it was during the last war that the Soul King moved to the current Royal Palace, otherwise why would Bach attack Soul Society if he wasn't there
Why were his limbs all over the place? What did he do to keep the balance?
this is my head canon, so it's ok if you disagre, but i think that the limbs being apart helped him to keep the balance, and Quincies have control over Reishi, think of him as a hyper quincy
why did Aizen hated him?
Aizen can't stand having someone above him

[Ian Cook]

why would Bach of all the people refer to someone as his father if it wasn't?

Is that a serious question you just asked? Seriously? Because you know that Ichigo wasn't literally his son, right?

[Brody Young]

Nah.

Vol 1 sold 30k

[Jaxson Williams]

that's not even a preview of the anime, it's from the Xebec OVA

[Grayson Reyes]

one thing is calling a child son, even if he isn't your son, most elders do it sometimes it's very different to call someone "dad"

[John Ward]

I don't know why I still get caught up trying to talk with Bleach fanboys. You'd think I would have learned by now. So I'm going to stop, because it never ends well, they always just retort with their head canon which they are convinced is absolutely beyond any doubt, even though it has no backing. Like how there is no real evidence for your claim that soul king is a quincy, and yet I bet you are absolutely convinced that this is the irrefutable, obvious truth.

For the record, Bleach was shit, that final arc was the worst, and you are pulling stuff out of your ass. Bleach is over, feel free to leave Sup Forums.

[Xavier Reed]

nah, it's ok if you disagre, Bleach is incomplete, so we have to take what we can get to make the story work

[Bentley Collins]

But it's under the same overall umbrella anyways, it's even under Jump comics.

[Jacob Harris]

Is Dragon Ball dead in Japan?

[Anthony Allen]

The manga came before the anime retard

[Brandon Davis]

Good.

I want Tosh back in ero manga industry.

[Camden Morris]

This is wrong retard

[Xavier Sanchez]

Haikyuu is top 3

sports manga

WSJ deserves to go into the trash

[Hudson Lewis]

It's not even Baseball with superpowers. What's your problem?

[Ayden Butler]

no boruto either

He's right under the Haikyuu.

[Nicholas Peterson]

Post the raw. What exactly was the term used: chichi, otousan, oyaji, jiisan etc

[Josiah Morgan]

Yea, as a small character the size of like 100 others

[Colton Fisher]

For example:
If nazis won WW2 then communists would've had horrible death camps and american kids get taught how evil stalin was.

[Benjamin Hill]

The state of that CGI.

[Grayson Carter]

Tsubasa and Kinikkuman still going

wtf? For real?

[Justin Torres]

2016 going on 2017
Still believing the Big Three meme from Gaia

[Ethan Evans]

At least I hope ESJ picks it up.

[Grayson Powell]

Boruto isn't there
He is
Yeah but he's small so it doesn't count
Kill yourself.

[Caleb Cook]

lol there has never been a big three, one piece has always clearly stood at the top

[Evan Miller]

Because Oda takes 1 week breaks once a month, Ashihara takes 1 week breaks every 2-3 months(except now that he got really sick and has been out for 5 weeks) but Togashi is just a lazy fuck that draws scribbles and takes 2 years hiatus.

[Chase Watson]

Wasn't the big 3 supposed to be in reference strictly to the western side of the fanbase? In nipland, yeah, it's pretty much just OP by ahuge margin.

[Matthew Wilson]

T. Slice of life moe fag

[Luis Lopez]

More likely a narutard type. SoL fags wouldn't give much shit about wsj.

[Jacob Smith]

someone who can read moon, it's the best that i can get atm, sleepy as fuck

[Carter Smith]

Doesn't seem to be father and son in the literal sense. 父 is a rather formal usage, much closer to meaning 'father' than the informal 'dad'. And of course, 父 has a wider range of connotation and can apply to more than just a literal father. Especially since he calls Ichigo his child of darkness 闇, with 子 being a rather general term for kid.

I don't pay full attention to bleach though, just going by what the texts say and what those usually implies: mainly metaphorical.

[Aiden Sanders]

I wasn't the guy who posted that originally dude get over yourself. I was just saying he's tiny like every other thing on there that isn't the "new big 3"

[Jason Flores]

I went to an anime con and there were so many fucking people cosplaying Haikyuu characters, it was ridiculous.

[Evan Evans]

Haikyuu manga is only popular in Japan. Everywhere else people are only watching the anime. It's easy to forget it's successful in Japan because both manga and anime threads are dead as fuck on Sup Forums. It's understandable because there is really nothing to talk about except predicting the outcome of a match which can get really repetitive.

[Christian Torres]

Yeah Haikyuu didn't break out in America like TG and OPM. It's only popular among fujo.

[Jason Bailey]

no ichigo

My fucking sides
