Reminder that these 3 series are the best battle shounen and it's not even close

Reminder that these 3 series are the best battle shounen and it's not even close.

I was here when FMA ended, and no one gave a shit. I don't even think it got a sticky. I actually remember berating FMAfags for their lack of enthusiasm. And do you know what they replied to me with?

>What's there to talk about?

Literally what I was told. Meanwhile, when Naruto and Bleach ended, their threads blotted out the sun.

maybe cause FMAfags aren't retards

Fma is overated

>one piece of shit
*audible sigh*

Where the fuck is HxH, faggot?

FMA was straight garbage. Author kept hammering the readers over the head with her shitty morals.

Not to mention dat generic shonenshit "lol beat the bad guy" ending.


Don't you mean
>wan piss of shit

Only the 1999 Kenshin OVA was decent. Everything else in the Kenshin franchise is straight garbage.

Never read Rurouni Kenshin, tell me about it. Why does it deserve its spot?

>when Naruto and Bleach ended, their threads blotted out the sun
There were reasons for that, this board and the people on it always had an odd relationship with Naruto, and a lot of us wanted to see it off. Also, the pairings at the end were a salt mine the likes of had never been seen before and will never be seen again. Same with Bleach, but less so and a lot of the attention was manufactured in a failed attempt to recreate the shit around the Naruto ending.

That's because it's perfect. Nothing to talk about other than to say what an amazing experience it was.

Fuck off Huntard you cancerous shitposting piece of trash

One Piece is an adventure shounen with battles to keep kiddies interested. I live for the exploration and world development.

Good fights, great cast, many emotional moments, good plot. The anime had a great soundtrack.

Your teachers would be turning in their graves if they saw this. Using "good" twice in the same sentence?

>Not to mention dat generic shonenshit "lol beat the bad guy" ending.

Was going to make a post but you nailed it. FMA had a completely predictable ending.

I would argue that you should increase it to 4 for DBZ deserves a place for one of the best choreographed fight scenes in manga

Make it 6 if you want to include YuyuHakusho and HxH
Haven't seen Jojo yet but I heard great things about its battle scenes

Not him, but another interested user. Is it worth looking past the dated animation to watch the original? Will I miss anything if I watch the new version?

Gash Bell
Ushio and Tora


No third everything else is shit.

Is Gash Bell an Sup Forums accepted series? Never really see too much about it. Was never able to get into it too much myself.

With Bleach, it was because the ending was so un-KUBOOOO, and ended basically on a whimper that people were left with a terrible taste in their mouths. He built way too complex of a plot at least in terms of character resolutions that he couldn't handle in the end. It's like if Berserk had 5 times it's current cast and Miura died next week.

HxH, Gash, FMA

One Piece is the only REAL best shounen. All others such in comparison.

DBZ doesn't deserve a place anywhere, Dragon Ball goes to shit slowly but steadily starting at volume 17.

Don't fucking compare that hack kubo and his shit art, no background lazy nigger ass to THE idolmaster and literal idea of evil himself.

Slam Dunk, Hokuto no Ken and Kenshin are my top three. FMA is high tier but I've never bothered to check out One Piece. I just don't like the art style all that much

You've missed out on some pretty good stuff for a very trivial reason. Kudos for Slam Dunk though.

Riveting, intriguing, fascinating and masterful.
Excuse me for being minimalistic, cunt.

I wasn't even aware there was a new version. Just watch the fucking original, you won't regret it. You can even skip the fillershit.

I really wish Viz would reprint the entire thing in an omnibus edition or something. We've got Kenshin in several omnibus releases but nothing for Slam Dunk, why?

>replacing two adjectives with four
Brevity is wit, sonny.

All the tanks are still available though.

Languages teachers need to fuck off.
The main point of language is proper communication, good writing is that which communicates ideas properly, repetition is fucking irrelevant unless you're some pretentious linguist masturbating to your pointlessly intrincate arrangement of phrases.

>and it's not even close.
Close tte nani senpai?

I like One Piece but I never understood what's so great about it.

D-

I replaced two instances of "good" and two instances of "great", what are you going on about?

>those three over Dragon Ball

It's shit

Just looked the "new version" up, it seems to butcher the artstyle quite a fucking lot. Also, summing 25+ episodes up in 2 OVAs is a bad sign.

Shit, right?

But you're wrong OK.

Don't be a hipster, you don't like HnK either.

Allow me to herald to you an idea to call.

A language of the tongue serves its purpose well. But those who wishes to express a message that reverberates through the hearts of men must be spoken in the tongue that cannot be contested by the ones of simple minds. Food serves its purpose as sustenance but a cuisinier with the right spices can turn it into a palate that feeds more than the stomach.

Everything is an art to be polished by the men who made merry of its company.

Also, I have no idea of what I just wrote

ITT: Literal babbies apart from and

I tried reading this but the MC seemed like an actual retard, it isn't cool to have retards fight people.

He is a bit retarded (what do you expect for someone from Kansai) but he does get less retarded after the first 2 or so volumes. Only problem with Rokudenashi Blues is that it takes a bit of time to get to the really good bits.

This. Fights are the most boring element in it for me. World and sense of adventure are what's I'm in.

>One Piece
Nope, it's boring.
One Piece is trash that opened the door for shounen shit on Sup Forums.
Notice how there are 24/7 generals for Naruto, DBZ, and One Piece.
Realize that a few years ago this would be unthinkable ( excepting one piece ), the threads spammed to death.

Read the fucking manga.

Hokuto no Ken
Dragonball
Rurouni Kenshin

Everything else is just talk no jutsu shit with author trying to push their morals down your throat every second

As much as I love Kenshin, they fucked up when they made the perfect villain, and then try to continue after that.

I just realized Fallout New Vegas must've ripped Shishio's design off.

I enjoy elements of Gash, while it was a fun read the story seemed a bit unfocused but it had great character designs and concepts
and Gash is the cutest and I want to cuddle him

>Only the 1999 Kenshin OVA was decent. Everything else in the Kenshin franchise is straight garbage.
See, I can agree with this except for calling the OVA merely 'decent'. Calling FMA garbage because of a moral disagreement with the author is stupid, though.

No, but this 6 is

>Not mentioning the GOAT

Shame on you.

Bottom is shit.

There are three series that don't deserve to be there and you KNOW which ones they are.

I haven't read shaman king in a long time. Does it hold up?

Is Toriko good? Its premise sounds really dumb.

Bad.

good worldbuilding and story but rushed near the end

That tends to be a jump series right? It goes on until it starts falling off then it gets axed. Bleach has no excuse though, it had enough fucking time and squandered it all.

But the main character has a good design, why can't mah aesthetic match with the story?

Slam Dunk isn't battle shounen

bleach was only good as a monster of the week series, trying to over complicate the lore and the lack of Kubos skill for long running narative ruined such a cool idea and well designed characters

Au contraire, One Piece is the best shounen there is. Any other shounen only planned its story to end in several arcs and then patchwork itself into the next arcs, like; fairy tail or bleach. While One Piece is an actual shounen with planned story with arcs separating story progression.
Anyone who can't appreciate how One Piece plot tailored is either those who watch only the anime, never read the manga, or read the manga but doesn't understand the what it's about.

>Au contraire, One Piece is the best shounen there is.
Nope, it's shounen bullshit with a veneer of cartoon goofiness.
"Island of Gimmick" is NOT good worldbuilding.

>Island of Gimmick
See what I mean?

...

JoJo is a better, more creative version of HnK.

Gash!!, Bleach, and Dragon Ball.

Honorary Mention: Soul Eater, D.Gray-man, Claymore. JoJo's has been seinen for years.

That is a cool delinquent manga, however make way for the GOAT shonen delinquent manga.

Best post in this thread.

Someone dumped all volums of Gash Bell and the threads were pretty popular.

The only thing JJBA does better than HnK is tension in fights. SBR is the only part which comes anywhere close to being as good as HnK.

We have this argument every single time these threads happen. Ignoring the fact that the actual best delinquent manga of all time is a seinen manga, pic related is the actual best shounen delinquent manga (and by my reckoning also one of the best shounen fighting manga).

someone really would put hokuto no ken on top? it's so slow and dull, choreography doesnt exist

Did you like the anime or did you like the manga? I think there's a difference here.

I could honestly never find any villains I could really hate in a cartoonish way, so all of Kenshiro's shit kinda falls flat for me. I loved the Steely Dan fight in Jojo for all the reasons that

I think you got the wrong guy, user.
I never argued about KKOW with anyone.

Nothing else even comes close. One P is obv the most consistent, but nowhere near the peaks of AG.

Battle shounen in general must be absolute garbage if those are the best of them.

fuck that guy, KKOW #1 nigga

You say some good things for a kappa.

I'm not sure I'd say it's slow. The main part of the story was over in 16 volumes, that's pretty fucking rapid especially considered to what we get these days. As for choreography in terms of fights, you may have a point, but for me the story and the great moments during the fights more than make up for it. HnK's story is incredible and I stil haven't read much that I think is better than it. I personally really like the fights even though most of them are over quite quickly.

Since even before the regular delinquent manga threads I'd be arguing forever with someone (who was probably the guy who made the delinquent manga chart) about whether or not KKOW was the best delinquent manga. Even now the argument continues.

KKOW is one of the, but not the GOAT.

Name an interesting battle, strategy-wise, from these three.

HxH is shit. YYH surpasses it easily.

Air Gear had god tier art, fight scenes, and sidekicks, but good god did the girls ruin the experience. This series was riddled with bitches, Ringo being the worst of them all.

Constant asspulls and deus ex drive the entire plot in every arc. YYH is fun but weak and more of an experimental ground that Togashi used to improve and move some good ideas he explored onto HxH.

>kept hammering the readers over the head with her shitty morals.
I don't know what's the author's trying to accomplish. He made everyone into bad guys including the brothers.

I will always love the Saiyan saga and the Namek saga for having every relevant character in each of those arcs do something against the villains, even if it didn't always work out.

>good fight
where everything is over with a single slash and nobody die?
>great cast good plot
kek

nah you shouldn't. Author is somehow think highly of himself and his manga is overrated with shit drawing.

Kenshin is really nothing special. Good art and likeable characters, but "let me now explain my special move in excruciating detail" battle series are dime a dozen.

>One Piece
Garbage.

We've had this thread before you FUCKboys. We've even discussed that FMA is NOT a battle shounen.

Sage.

Agreed. Had one god-tier waifu pictured to the left, but apart from that all of them are pretty annoying(Though I don't hate Emily).

Strategically speaking, Toki tried to temporarily mimic Raoh's power, it didn't work, and then the battle was over. Not much different from Lee vs. Gaara's fight (with the added but ultimately useless, tactically speaking, expectation build-up from Lee's additional power-ups)

The key difference is that the story behind Toki vs Raoh was on a much more grander scale than Lee vs Gaara, in terms of personal motivation and relevance to the overall themes and story of the manga. Lee vs Gaara was great but it was really just a very cool fight, Toki vs Raoh was the most important fight in the manga up to that point (and debatably even afterwards).

Not to mention that it still allows discussion of could a prime Toki defeat Raoh/Kenshiro etc.

I heard it the plot got insane in the later parts making it shit? I don't know, for me the story being bizarre is a good thing, but I don't know how it is in this situation.

>He made everyone into bad guys including the brothers.

Man, this guy really know what he's talking about

>choreography doesnt exist

This flashy generation... you can see why he likes naruto.

>Kururufags still salty, because best girl won.
