The Big Three of anime have garnered loyal fandoms with their distinct appeal. All three of them have their strengths and weaknesses that fans appreciate, yet there’s always an ongoing competition to prove one’s superiority over the others. This time around,Bleach TYBWandOne Piecehave been roped into a silly competition due to the immaturity of some fans.
The latest episodes of both series dropped around the same time, making it the perfect opportunity for some fans to prove which one is better. This has affectedBleach’s rating across many platforms. It’s a shame that such a strong comeback is getting tainted by these unnecessary fan wars. Moreover, fans who enjoy both anime equally can’t help but feel torn between their favorite anime when such instances happen.
One PieceFans Review-Bomb the First Episode ofBleach TYBW Part 3
Bleachhas been on a roll with the consecutive parts of Thousand-Year Blood War. The eagerly anticipated third part started its fall run with a bang. The fight sequence between Ichibei and Yhwach was a demonstration of just how strong the villain is. The brief tease at the end regarding Aizen’s return was an exciting cliffhanger. Fans loved the episode and the episode received an impressive rating of 9.7 on IMDb.

WhenOne Piece Episode 1121was released the very next day, someOne Piecefansstarted review-bombingtheBleachEpisode and broughtit down to 9.1. As of the time this article’s being written,Bleach TYBWepisode 1 has an average rating of8.9, whereas, forOne Piece episode 1121, it’s9.1. It can be safely assumed that the review-bombing is working in the favor ofOne Piecefans.
IfOne PieceandBleachare airing at the same time, there’s bound to be an inherent competition given their history. That just makes one wonder if One Piece fans have no confidence in their favorite anime’s strengths whatsoever. These antics are part of the reason why anime fans are looked down upon. Moreover, when one looks at the recent episode, any fan of the series would realize thatOne Piecedoesn’t need all these additional efforts to top any charts.
NeitherBleachNor One PieceNeeds These Twisted Affirmations
The recent episode ofOne Piecewas out of this world, the spectacular animation and the emotional weight of it made it one of the best episodes in this arc. Moreover,One Piecehas been reigning over the anime-manga community for quite some time. Fans don’t need to dragBleachforOne Pieceto get good ratings. This episode already had many factors working in its favor.

Finally,Bleachdeserved better ratings in this case as it was the perfect set-up with some great scenes. It prepared fans for what was coming their way, by establishing the unparalleled strength of the villain, and showing us that Ichigo was the only hope for the three realms. It ramped up the stakes one last time before the final showdown. At the same time,One Piece Episode 1121was emotionally more impactful.
The immaturity and twisted definitions of superiority for some fans once again gives a bad reputation to the entire fandom. No wonder the fans ofOne Pieceare calledEiichiro Oda‘s cult, as some fans clearly justify this title.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood Waris available to stream on DisneyPlus, whereasOne Pieceis available on Crunchyroll.
