Anime-Fight: One Piece vs Dragon Ball Z vs Naruto

[adisababa]

1. Best Fights
Naruto had some amazing animation and well-done fights. On screen, Naruto fights are a treat to watch.

2. Best story
One Piece is a narrative masterpiece, the manga is just consistently fun to read throughout its 20 years + run and 900+ chapters and the latest arc is amazing. The setting makes for unique and diverse narratives that never makes the series feel old and drawn out. I guarantee that this manga will be classic decades from now. It's timeless, filled with adventure and has the best characters in any shounen.

Naruto was good at one point but the war arc was bullshit. It had a lot of uninteresting character and had very weak world building.

3. Best Characters
No shounen out there can even come close to having such character depth and diverse characters than One Piece. The reverie arc led to One Piece having its greatest volume sales in a long time because the arc put in all of the best characters in one room all contained in 10 chapters. This arc could never have been so successful if it weren't for Oda's meticulous world-building and characterization. I mean it outsold BnH aka the hottest shounen by 5x more times. That's crazy even after all these years, One Piece hasn't even suffered a decline.

Honestly, the Dragon Ball franchise is way too overrated. It was great for its time and is a huge landmark in manga/anime culture but I watched it a few months ago and I could not get over how basic it felt. Also Dragon Ball Super was cash grab garbage with incompetent storytelling, it had a really bad narrative and horrible characters. The Broly movie looks good, I feel like the DB franchise is finally veering away from DBShit to a really cool Disneyesque destiny and revenge type tale and I really like it. Feels very different from a lot of other anime properties.
