Zushi from HxH
There isn't any depth in this thread, I would just like to know who you guys prefer and why. I'm caught up in One Piece, I need to read tybw and I am ep 120+ in Naruto but I would place Luffy over Ichigo and then Ichigo over Naruto. Maybe my opinion will differ after I'm finished with Bleach and Naruto.

Luffy
I love his contagious happiness and unpredictability; he can be super greedy or very selfless depending on the circumstances. I also love his straightforward way of thinking. His angry moments are also so memorable since they happen rarely and when they do, you always get a badass moment from him. Also, he is a true leader and a very charismatic one in his own way.
Naruto
Not a big fan of Naruto and I mean the character.
Ichigo
Haven't watched Bleach so can't say.
So Luffy, Naruto and Ichigo.

respectable
Easily Ichigo

Tony
Impossible! He never had the makings of a varsity athlete!
We all know it's Speedwagon
ichigo solos

Naruto ≥ Luffy >> Ichigo
I like Naruto (in Naruto Shippuden) most and i also hate some of his personality. but the story makes him so loveable. he had the most personality development in all 3 of them. luffy is hard do judge, you have to see at least 500 eps to get how he actually is and man he's flawless. i like him a lot. about Ichigo... he is a cool looking guy with a cool attitude and that's all. nothing really developed in all 366 eps except his power/ relation with his sword.
You really think Ichigo had no development?
do you wanna provide some counterpoint then?

Ichigo

Ichigoat ~ Luffy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Naruto
Naruto, shadow clones are more interesting than anything either is able to do. His ideology is better too. I put Luffy over Ichigo because Ichigo is boring.
Have you even watched one piece or bleach?
Say I use a shadow clone to study, another to clean the house, another to take care of politics, another to ...
Which skill of Luffy and Ichigo does anything similar? Shadow clones are more interesting. All of them can fight and play tricks, Naruto is the only one whose powers are useful.
c3 was most likely referring to them as a character not who has more moves and I'm pretty sure even if he meant that category Luffy would take the cake and I Ichigo can do what you said above with just his speed but that's not the conversation
Ichigo, with no preference for Naruto or Luffy. Just because I like an intelligent protag that's not just a full-speed-ahead optimism engine. XDD
intelligent protag
you read what you wrote bro?
I'll settle for semi-intelligent, ok. He has good test scores. XDD Naruto and Luffy are creative and a gas a minute, but they're not the sharpest tools in the box. You could also insert "not needlessly reckless protag" here and get a similar result.
Luffy > Naruto > Ichigo
I like all of them, but this is just how I would personally rank them
luffy > naruto > ichigo
luffy > naruto > ichigo
luffy is most fun to watch and most well written of 3. it's after multiple re-reads i realized how 3 dimensional his character is and how much growth he goes through. naruto also goes to a lot of growth but does not feel as three dimensional. ichigo feels like what a 40 year old thinks teenagers are like but they are actually not. he feel very one note compare to others. he also have worst fights of 3. he's just boring to follow.
ichigo feels like what a 40 year old thinks teenagers are like but they are actually not
That's a quite hasty take to make since there are teenagers irl that have Ichigo's level of maturity and his maturity stems from the decision he made after his Mom died
Mature is definitely not the word I would use to discribe ichigo. What i meant was that ichigo feels like does not really have a life outside what we are show on screen. He feel like he exist just for plot to happen to him. Unlike both luffy and naruto who feel like they exist even when story is not happening.
And besides i find both luffy and naruto to be more mature then ichigo.
Him moving on from a weak timid child to wanting to protect those around him, Him accepting his soul reaper duty after he awakened his power, him learning to accept himself. His dynamic with characters such as Aizen, Grimmjow, Uryu and Zangetsu. Oh another is the classic argument "iChIgO hAs nO gOaL" Ichigo does have a goal and it's stated in the first arc that he has the desire to protect the weak and his friends
Him moving on from a weak timid child
I'm not sure we watched the same anime, bruh
"iChIgO hAs nO gOaL"
I'm glad you've already heard that so I won't have to repeat it
but to each his own, I say
Ichigo does have a goal why are people still using that 2012 argument. His goal is to protect his friends and the weak and ok mb for the "weak and timid" part what I meant to say is that he moved on from having people protect him to being the protector. And also why do most shonen fans think not having a goal means you're a trash shonen character. Bleach is character driven whilst the other two are plot driven stop using the standards for plot driven narrative to judge a show which is character driven
Ichigo does have a goal why are people still using that 2012 argument.
did the manga/anime change between today and 2012? 😆
why do most shonen fans think not having a goal means you're a trash shonen character.
who said anything about Ichigo being trash? and also everyone has their preferences, everyone is free to like a character more than others
Agreed ichigo does grow quite alot as a character. You prolly would be blind not to notice.
Yes the plot does make ichigo look like mary sue but bleach isn't plot driven.
I should probably get my eyes checked then, the prescription might have changed again 😆😆
Oh well.
them as a character not who has more moves
See one of my criteria is not who has the largest skill set, but the most useful and interesting to use. All their base stats should be really similar, didn't you remember Naruto doing the Rock lee barrage?
No shunpou or gomu gomu no gattling gun will be at two places at the same time. Ichigo only knows how to move fast, cut stuff and energy cut things, give me Yachtze over ichigo.
Luffy is slightly more useful, but still skills are not fit to a peaceful environment.
So yeah, Naruto by huge margin.
You do know shadow clones have a risk to multitasking right? They can just go poof had the wrong and most important moment you need them. Example, Himawari's birthday
Risk/reward tradeoffs. Myself might go poof too at important moments, who knows. Cannot use it for anything too mission critic. Notably since after they poof some of them return to the user, so probably no playing with uranium.
That is pretty similar to Luffy eating too much and sleeping. Still Naruto's and Ichigo's plot armor says that nothing too important will happen during their down times.
BRO LUFFY IS MADE OUT OF RUBBER
BRO
not needlessly reckless protag
if someone is being reckless with a purpose, do you not still consider it reckless?
I'll agree with you if you're talking about school smarts
seems like I myself made the same mistake, I have corrected it now 😅😅
full-speed-ahead optimism engine
I don't think Luffy was the full-speed-ahead optimism engine you're thinking of in a good portion of Water 7, Thriller Bark, or Summit War. Actually, Ichigo's a bit of that too. He doesn't come off as very level-headed when he goes on to fight guys thrice as strong as him just so he can save his friend. He just jumps into a fight and the plot armor saves him. Imo
i find both luffy and naruto to be more mature then ichigo.
Bro ?. You haven't even watched bleach to make such a claim
I am reading it right now. I am around chapter 400. Just haven’t added it to my list. No feeling ichigo at all. Also why would I give my opinion on something I haven’t read?
