Which Big Three Universe is Strongest?
34sOpens a timeless debate among anime fans about which universe has the most powerful characters.
▶ Play ClipThe video ranks and explains the power levels of the 'Big Three' anime universes—One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach—using quantifiable feats and conventional power scaling. The creator analyzes top-tier characters like Luffy, Naruto, and Yhwach to determine each universe's maximum AP (attack potency) and speed. The goal is to settle which universe is objectively the strongest.
The video aims to rank the Big Three universes by power using conventional scaling and quantifiable feats, without hyperbole.
One Piece scales to small planet plus and FTL to FTL plus, based on Luffy's Gear 5 and Kaido feats.
Naruto scales to solar system level and massively FTL, using Ishiki and Baryon Mode Naruto as top benchmarks.
Bleach scales to universal plus with infinite speed, primarily due to Yhwach's Soul King powers and the X-axis schrift.
Final ranking: Bleach (1st), Naruto (2nd), One Piece (3rd) – but the author notes this does not reflect story quality.

Reminds viewers that power scaling is separate from narrative enjoyment.
27:09[00:00] The Big Three, Naruto, Bleach, and One
[00:02] Piece. Some of the greatest anime and
[00:04] manga ever made. Known as the big three
[00:07] because they popularized anime and manga
[00:09] in the Western world around the early
[00:12] 2000s. These three very different
[00:14] stories found themselves popular in
[00:15] three very different demographics. But
[00:17] those three very different demographics
[00:19] made up the majority of kids in the
[00:21] Western world. And thus, these three
[00:23] incredible and pivotal stories paved the
[00:25] way for future generations of anime to
[00:27] be popular in more markets than just
[00:29] Japan. But because these three anime all
[00:31] rose to prominence around the same time,
[00:34] and all had monumental impacts on the
[00:36] popularity of anime worldwide, they are
[00:38] constantly compared to each other.
[00:40] Whether it's people arguing about which
[00:41] MC is the best from which universe,
[00:44] which story is the best manga, which
[00:45] story has the best anime, which story
[00:47] has the least filler, which story is the
[00:48] best paced, Bleach, Naruto, and One
[00:50] Piece are perpetually compared to each
[00:52] other. And no comparisons spark
[00:54] arguments more fervent than when people
[00:55] try to compare the powers of these
[00:57] individual universes. And thus says
[00:59] somebody who's begun to wade into the
[01:01] territory of comparing different
[01:03] universes power systems, I figured today
[01:05] we'd lay to bed the question, how do the
[01:07] big three universes scale when compared
[01:10] to each other? Because today we're
[01:11] talking the big three ranked and
[01:14] explained by power. But before we get to

[02:33] I apologize if I sound terrible today. I
[02:35] feel terrible. I either have a crazy
[02:37] head cold or co and I I don't know
[02:39] which. But your boy's got deadlines to
[02:41] hit so
[02:43] work. It feels as though for almost as
[02:45] long as the big three anime have existed
[02:47] simultaneously, people have tried to
[02:48] compare them, usually trying to spin the
[02:50] narrative that the one that they like
[02:51] the most is the most powerful universe.
[02:53] Whether that's Naruto fans saying that
[02:55] Naruto could stomp Luffy in a fight or a
[02:57] Bleach fan trying to make the argument
[02:58] that Ichigo is multiversal, it feels as
[03:00] though somehow someway the fans of each
[03:03] respective universe can find a way to
[03:04] make the argument that their universe is
[03:06] stronger than the other two. And thus
[03:08] today, we're going to be scaling each
[03:09] and every single one of these individual
[03:11] universes with completely no bias. We're
[03:14] going to be using conventionally
[03:15] accepted scales and calcs of the most
[03:17] impressive fighters in each universe to
[03:19] figure out exactly where these
[03:21] individual universes top out. And by
[03:23] identifying the top end of power of each
[03:25] universe without the usage of any
[03:27] ridiculous hyperbolic feats, we can once
[03:30] and for all put to bed where each and
[03:31] every single one of these universes
[03:33] scales in comparison to each other. But
[03:35] the first step in accomplishing that
[03:36] goal is identifying the most impressive
[03:38] fighters in each universe and use their
[03:40] top end feats to identify what the top
[03:42] end of the power system is able to
[03:43] accomplish. So for Bleach, that'll be
[03:44] characters like Yavaba, Eizen, Ichigo,
[03:47] the members of Squad Zero, and Jihaba's
[03:49] personal guard. For One Piece, that
[03:51] would be characters like Emu, the Holy
[03:53] Knights, Luffy, the Admirals, the Five
[03:55] Elders. For Naruto, that would be
[03:57] characters like Narut, Boruto, Kawaki,
[03:59] Sasuke, all Otsudski, and maybe Code.
[04:02] So, let's start with the oldest manga
[04:04] and work our way towards the newest
[04:05] manga, which means that first up is One
[04:08] Piece. Now, One Piece out of all of the
[04:10] anime we're going to be talking about
[04:11] today is the toughest to scale. There
[04:13] are massive inconsistencies in power all
[04:15] throughout One Piece. Tie that in with
[04:17] an insane cast of characters with an
[04:18] insane amount of feats, and people are
[04:20] basically able to tell whatever story
[04:22] they want to tell about One Piece when
[04:24] it comes to the power levels they're
[04:25] trying to identify in the universe. with
[04:27] some people make the arguments that the
[04:28] most powerful characters in the universe
[04:30] like Emu top out at island level while
[04:32] others say that there are multiple
[04:33] planet busters in the universe.
[04:35] Fortunately, this is where I come in to
[04:37] inject a non-biased opinion that places
[04:39] us somewhere in between these two ends
[04:41] of the spectrum. See, here's the thing.
[04:43] The undoubtedly strongest person in the
[04:45] One Piece universe, Emu, really only has
[04:47] one truly scalable feat. I mean, yes,
[04:49] you could say that Emu was able to tank
[04:50] an attack from Sabo and kill King Cobra,
[04:53] but neither of those are great ways to
[04:54] identify just how powerful the literal
[04:56] king of the world is. And therefore, if
[04:58] you're looking for the most impressive
[04:59] thing that the supposedly strongest
[05:01] person in the One Piece universe has
[05:02] ever done, it has to be inarguably the
[05:05] destruction of Lucia. See, Emu, most
[05:07] likely with the assistance of the
[05:09] mother's flame, was able to rain down a
[05:11] singular attack upon the Lucia from the
[05:13] clouds that wiped it off the map. Now,
[05:16] as to how much of a role the mother's
[05:17] flame played in this feat, we can't
[05:18] really say. However, the world
[05:20] government's hellbent attitude on
[05:21] acquiring the mother's flame from
[05:23] Egghehead while destroying it seems to
[05:25] confirm that somehow someway the
[05:26] mother's flame does tie into this
[05:28] worldending ability that Emu got his
[05:30] hands on. But regardless of whether or
[05:32] not the world government is going to get
[05:33] their hands on the mother's flame or if
[05:34] Emu is going to be able to use his
[05:36] technique more than once, Emu used this
[05:38] technique. Emu was able to wipe an
[05:40] entire country/ island off the map with
[05:42] just one attack. Usually islands and
[05:45] countries are talked about in different
[05:46] terms for scaling purposes, but really
[05:48] because of the rising of the oceans 800
[05:50] years ago in the One Piece universe,
[05:52] every country has become an island. And
[05:55] thus, Emu destroying Lucia is either an
[05:57] island or a country level feat,
[05:58] depending on how you want to look at it.
[06:00] So, this must mean that Emu, who exists
[06:01] at the top of the One Piece world, is
[06:03] just an island/country level feat with
[06:06] the aid of the Mother's Flame, right?
[06:08] Well, no. Unfortunately, it's really not
[06:10] that simple. T because we've seen island
[06:12] level feats from people like Doof
[06:13] Flamingo, pre-awwakening, and a white
[06:16] beard on his deathbed. And Whitebeard is
[06:18] actually the reason that One Piece
[06:20] scaling is as absurd as it is. Because
[06:22] the Quake Quake fruit or the tremor
[06:23] tremor fruit, depending on what
[06:24] translation you get, has been described
[06:26] as a delu power so ludicrously powerful
[06:28] that it was able to destroy the entire
[06:30] world if used correctly. Which makes a
[06:33] lot of people believe that Whitebeard
[06:34] and therefore by extension Blackbeard,
[06:36] who now controls the Quake Quake fruit,
[06:37] are planet busters. And therefore, if
[06:39] anybody's able to damage Blackbeard or
[06:41] Whitebeard, they must also be planet
[06:43] busters. And here's the thing, that's
[06:44] not the craziest idea of all time
[06:46] because like I just said, a on his
[06:49] deathbed Whitebeard was able to tilt the
[06:51] ocean to possibly sink the entirety of
[06:53] Marine for. But let's ignore Whitebeard
[06:55] and therefore Blackbeard for a second
[06:56] because the Quake Quake fruit and those
[06:58] two are kind of contentious when it
[06:59] comes to power scaling one piece. Let's
[07:01] talk about Dooflamingo and his bird
[07:04] cage. Flamingo pre his awakening or at
[07:06] least pre the usage of his awakened
[07:08] powers was able to cast an ability known
[07:10] as bird cage across all of Dress Rosa.
[07:12] And as Dress Rosa is actually one of the
[07:14] bigger islands we've ever seen from One
[07:16] Piece, Doflamingo's ability not only
[07:17] capture an entire country in this bird
[07:19] cage, but also destroy said entire
[07:22] country is for all intents and purposes
[07:24] an island to country level attack. and
[07:26] Luffy, who not only had to fight against
[07:27] pre-awwakened, but also post awakened,
[07:30] Doofy, was able to completely trounce
[07:32] Doflamingo using his fourth gear
[07:34] transformation. Which implies that if
[07:35] Doflamingo was highball, a country level
[07:38] threat, lowball, an island level threat,
[07:40] then that would mean that Luffy's gear 4
[07:41] was greater than either of those two
[07:43] estimations. And if we assume that
[07:45] bounty equals power on a 1:1 ratio,
[07:48] which we probably shouldn't, but like
[07:49] the higher your bounty is, the stronger
[07:51] you are as a pirate, like that's not an
[07:52] insane thing to say. Luffy's ability to
[07:54] beat Charlotte Katakuri with his Gear 4
[07:57] transformation when Katakuri's bounty is
[07:59] about three times higher than Doofphy's
[08:01] 340 million versus about a billion
[08:03] implies that the upper limitation of
[08:05] Gear 4's power is about 3x that of
[08:07] awakened Doofies. So that is to say that
[08:09] fourth gear Luffy scales somewhere
[08:10] between large island to large country
[08:12] depending on how you scale Doofy. And as
[08:14] Katakuri has pretty consistently been
[08:16] couched somewhere into the region of
[08:18] country level, this makes a fair amount
[08:19] of sense. Luffy and the Straw Hats then
[08:21] proceed to wander their way into Wano,
[08:23] where Luffy spends about 200 episodes
[08:25] getting his ass kicked by Kaido and
[08:26] about a hundred or so of those episodes,
[08:28] or at least that's what it felt like,
[08:29] training in a stone quarry with C prism
[08:31] handcuffs on until eventually Luffy was
[08:32] able to level up to such a degree that
[08:34] he was able to go toe-to-toe with the
[08:35] likes of base Kaido, beast Kaido, and
[08:38] hybrid form Kaido. Finally being able to
[08:40] overtake Kaido in strength when he
[08:43] activated his fifth gear transformation
[08:45] for the first time. But what does being
[08:46] stronger than Kaido mean for Luffy?
[08:48] Well, Kaido in base form is said to
[08:50] scale to that of moon level because he
[08:52] was said to be one of the few people
[08:53] that could defeat Blackbeard, which
[08:55] implies that he would be able to
[08:56] overcome the power of the Quake Quake
[08:57] fruit. And like we said, the power of
[08:59] the Quake Quake fruit when used properly
[09:00] was said to be able to destroy the
[09:02] world. And all this corroborated by the
[09:03] fact that when Big Bomb and Kaido
[09:05] clashed their blades together, the
[09:07] impact of that clash actually split the
[09:09] clouds above them for several days. But
[09:12] that's Kaido and base. And Kaido's got a
[09:14] whole lot of forms. And thus with the
[09:15] addition of these forms, be those his
[09:17] beast form or his hybrid forms, Kaido
[09:19] scales somewhere into the region of
[09:21] small planet level. And Luffy in fifth
[09:23] gear is stronger than Kaido in his
[09:25] strongest forms. And thus Luffy in fifth
[09:27] gear must be at least small planet plus.
[09:30] On top of this, in Egghehead Island,
[09:31] Luffy has time and time again been shown
[09:34] to be superior to the likes of Kizer,
[09:36] who's oddly mid-tier when talking about
[09:38] the highest level of fighters in all of
[09:40] One Piece. He's not the strongest
[09:41] admiral. He's probably not the weakest
[09:43] admiral. and the admirals are probably
[09:44] weaker than the five elders and the holy
[09:46] knights. However, in Egghhead Island,
[09:48] Luffy was also shown as pseudo equal to
[09:50] the likes of Saint Saturn. While he most
[09:52] likely didn't have the ability to
[09:53] augment his conqueror's hockey in such a
[09:55] way that would be able to defeat
[09:56] somebody with the mark of the abyss, his
[09:58] AP was shown to be able to not only
[09:59] damage Saint Saturn, but also drive him
[10:01] back. And thus, it's somewhat safe to
[10:03] assume that Luffy is equal in strength
[10:04] to an individual member of the five
[10:06] elders and most likely somewhere in the
[10:08] region of strength of Akainu, who's the
[10:10] current fleet admiral. But to bring the
[10:12] conversation back to Kizaru for just one
[10:13] second, Kizaru is actually a really good
[10:15] way to scale speed in the One Piece
[10:17] universe. Because Kizaru is a user of
[10:19] the glint glint fruit, is able to turn
[10:21] his body into light and therefore travel
[10:23] and attack at the speed of light. And
[10:25] multiple people in the One Piece
[10:27] universe have not only shown the ability
[10:28] to track Kizaru, but also reflect his
[10:30] attacks. Like in the most recent episode
[10:32] of One Piece where we literally see
[10:33] Sanji kick away a beam of light fired by
[10:36] Kizu implying that Sanji is faster than
[10:38] the speed of light as he was not only
[10:40] able to react to this beam of light but
[10:42] also get in front of it and kick it away
[10:43] before it was able to hit Bonnie and
[10:45] Orkuma. So if Sanji who is undoubtedly
[10:48] massively slower than fifth gear Luffy
[10:49] is a faster than light character then
[10:51] Luffy is almost definitely a faster than
[10:53] light character. over using Luffy who's
[10:55] probably the most quantifiably high tier
[10:57] character in One Piece in terms of
[10:59] scaling as our precedent that One Piece
[11:01] tops out somewhere in the region of
[11:02] small planet plus and FTL to FTL plus.
[11:06] Now, there's obviously some wiggle room
[11:08] baked in here because we don't know how
[11:09] powerful Emu is. We know that Emu is
[11:11] able to do things like use Dami
[11:13] Reverseai to take over the Holy Knights
[11:14] like Gunko and pretty much immediately
[11:16] enslave all of the giants of Elbat to
[11:18] battle against their brothers. We also
[11:19] know that Emu holds on to such an insane
[11:21] amount of power that he's able to
[11:22] unleash a wave of conquerors hockey that
[11:24] knocks out basically everybody who
[11:26] wasn't a giant soldier on Elbat. But all
[11:28] these feats are pretty hard to scale. So
[11:30] for the moment, we kind of have to stick
[11:31] with scaling characters like the four
[11:33] emperors or even the admirals. But now
[11:35] that we got One Piece done with, let's
[11:37] talk about Naruto. The strongest, well,
[11:39] at least quantifiable characters ever
[11:41] shown in Naruto are Ishiki and Jura.
[11:43] While yes, Sheibi is probably stronger
[11:45] than Ishiki and Jurro combined, we have
[11:47] literally no way to scale how powerful
[11:49] Sheibi is based on how Shibai is talked
[11:51] about. That is to say a prominent user
[11:53] of omnipotence, which is apparently the
[11:55] coding language of the universe, meaning
[11:56] that she is able to create and destroy
[11:58] universes at will, making Sheibi a
[12:00] possible reality warper means that
[12:02] Sheibi is a level of threat that we can
[12:04] barely comprehend in the Naruto
[12:06] universe. But since we have no actual
[12:08] feats for Sheba, I am not going to use
[12:09] him as a way to amp up the Naruto
[12:11] universe through multiversal or
[12:13] something stupid like that. So like I
[12:15] said, let's use the quantifiable
[12:16] characters, characters that we have seen
[12:17] fight other quantified characters like
[12:19] Ishiki and Jura. See, the best way to
[12:22] try and figure out just how powerful
[12:23] these two characters are is by looking
[12:24] at the people that they've fought. See,
[12:26] because while sure I could sit here and
[12:28] say that because Ishiki has consumed the
[12:30] chakra of dozens, if not hundreds of
[12:31] planets, that he's a solar system threat
[12:34] because after all, he's destroyed
[12:35] multiple planets. That feels
[12:37] disingenuous. So, let's start by scaling
[12:39] Narut, who both Jiggan and Ishiki, who's
[12:42] the superior version of Jiggan, were
[12:44] able to defeat rather handedly. Senar
[12:46] has done a myriad of very, very
[12:48] impressive things over his run as the MC
[12:50] of the Naruto universe. in base form
[12:52] with the help of Hinata who was amped
[12:53] with Hamura Shakra. He was able to
[12:55] destroy the 10 Sean, a dojutu that was
[12:57] said to have the power to not only
[12:59] destroy the Earth by throwing a moon
[13:00] into it, but also have the power to
[13:02] rebuild the entire Earth after its
[13:04] destruction into the exact way that
[13:05] Toner wanted it. On top of this, Tensei
[13:08] God had enough power to create and
[13:10] maintain an artificial sun in the center
[13:12] of the moon for over a thousand years.
[13:14] And thus, if Naruto with the help of
[13:16] Hinata, that's a thing a lot of people
[13:17] forget here, was able to destroy
[13:19] something that could not only destroy
[13:20] the planet, but also rebuilds the
[13:22] planet, then it feels as though that
[13:23] Naruto being able to destroy the tenon
[13:25] in that moment with the help of Hinata
[13:27] in base form is somewhere in the region
[13:29] of a planet level threat. But there's a
[13:31] lot of mitigating factors here. I mean,
[13:33] Hinata was not only there and helping,
[13:35] but she was also being amped by the guy
[13:36] who this dojutu belonged to in the first
[13:38] place, Hamura. However, just a little
[13:40] bit earlier in this movie, Naruto was
[13:42] able to tank an attack from Tonaryi
[13:44] while amped by the Tense Sea that sliced
[13:46] the moon in half. And way before that, a
[13:49] weaker iteration of Naruto, a
[13:51] 16-year-old Naruto in the fourth great
[13:53] world war was able to with the help of
[13:54] Sasuke build a moon around Kaga. And
[13:58] thus, Naruto was shown two separate
[14:00] moonle feats. The idea that he would be
[14:02] able to with the help of Hinata be able
[14:03] to pull off a planet level feat is not
[14:05] that crazy. So, if a younger, weaker
[14:07] version of Naruto is able to pull off a
[14:09] moon level feat and a base version of
[14:11] adult Naruto is able to pull off what is
[14:13] close to a planet level feat. Well, then
[14:15] where does Naruto scale? Well, I'd say
[14:18] far beyond planet. See, because if base
[14:20] Naruto equals planet level with the
[14:22] addition of Sage Mode in KCM2, Sage of
[14:25] Six Pass Chakra using Kukio's boil
[14:27] release to boil his chakra to a
[14:29] superheated point, making him even
[14:30] stronger, which is something he can do.
[14:32] and possibly something like making three
[14:34] avatars of Kurama and smashing them
[14:35] together to make Ashra Kurama, Naruto
[14:37] should be able to increase his strength
[14:39] many times over. And therefore, if in
[14:41] base form, he's pulling off planet level
[14:43] feats. Then at the peak of his power,
[14:45] not including Barryon mode, he should be
[14:47] somewhere in the region of large planet
[14:48] to large planet plus. But with Barryon
[14:51] mode, Naruto became the strongest
[14:54] fighter ever seen in the Naruto
[14:55] universe. Stronger than Ishiki by a
[14:57] landslide and probably stronger than
[14:59] Jura. in Naruto flexing that in Barryon
[15:01] mode he was substantially stronger than
[15:03] Ishiki is insane because while yes this
[15:06] was a temporary form that Naruto could
[15:07] only use for a matter of minutes who had
[15:09] an incredibly well-informed opinion of
[15:11] how strong both Jiggan and Ishiki were
[15:14] believed that Naruto and Sasuke at least
[15:17] planet level threats working together
[15:18] stood no chance against either Jiggan or
[15:20] Ishiki and this was proven time and time
[15:23] again as Jiggan and Ishiki pieced up
[15:25] Naruto and Sasuke going so far as to
[15:27] yank Naruto and Sasuke out of giant
[15:30] chakrax with little to no effort at all.
[15:32] I mean, the two of them got one hit in
[15:34] on Jigin. And Ishiki is said to be
[15:36] massively more powerful than Jiggan. And
[15:38] it would make sense that he is because
[15:39] Ishiki was also technically a temporary
[15:42] form brought about by Ishiki using the K
[15:44] marking on Jiggan to initiate his
[15:46] reincarnation. But the car marking on
[15:47] Jiggan was not complete. It wasn't a
[15:49] good mix. And thus, Jiggan's body wasn't
[15:51] able to use the entirety of Ishiki's
[15:53] power. So, if Jigin, who was able to
[15:55] comfortably beat Naruto and Sasuke while
[15:58] adults, was the weaker iteration of
[15:59] Ishiki's power, it's safe to assume, and
[16:01] this is going to cause a couple of you
[16:03] to groan and roll your eyes, but
[16:05] remember I didn't make these couchs,
[16:06] that Ishiki is somewhere in the region
[16:08] of a solar system level threat. Jiggan
[16:11] was substantially stronger than two
[16:13] legitimate planet busters, and Ishiki
[16:15] was a definitive upgrade on Jiggan. If
[16:17] we're calcing Naruto to be somewhere in
[16:19] the region of without his barriion mode,
[16:21] large planet level and Sasuke who's
[16:23] calcet
[16:25] level, we're able to get manhandled by
[16:27] the weaker iteration of Ishiki, then
[16:30] yeah, that stronger iteration of Ishiki
[16:32] is going to be somewhere in the region
[16:33] of solar system level. And that makes
[16:35] sense because Ishiki has consumed the
[16:37] chakra of dozens of planets. So since
[16:40] Barryon mode Naruto was able to defeat
[16:42] Ishiki, Barryon Mode Naruto is also
[16:44] somewhere in the region of solar system
[16:46] level. I know it sounds crazy to maybe
[16:48] some of you that have only ever watched
[16:49] and/or read Naruto, but all of the
[16:51] scaling post the fourth grade world war
[16:53] has gone kind of insane. Boruto is a
[16:55] really fun story, very well written. I
[16:56] love it, but characters are getting
[16:58] stronger at a literal breakneck pace.
[17:00] And before anybody tries to say, "Oh,
[17:01] you can't use Boruto's feats to scale
[17:03] Naruto as a universe." Shut up. Naruto's
[17:06] in the story. Sasuke is in the story. If
[17:07] One Piece gets to be 1200 chapters long,
[17:09] I can use Boruto to talk about Naruto.
[17:12] So, it seems though the Naruto universe
[17:13] seems to top out somewhere in the region
[17:15] of solar system level in terms of AP.
[17:17] Something corroborated by the fact that
[17:19] Boruto, who is only 15 or 16 years old
[17:21] right now, was literally harnessing the
[17:23] power of the entire planet into his
[17:24] Rosen gun and still can't place a
[17:26] meaningful scratch on the main
[17:28] antagonist of this archer. But where,
[17:30] oh, where does it top out in terms of
[17:31] speed? Well, somewhere in the region of
[17:33] massively FTL. There are a lot of crazy
[17:36] speed feats in the Naruto universe. In
[17:38] fact, the majority of the main players
[17:40] in Naruto were already confirmed to be
[17:41] FTL by the time of the fourth great
[17:42] Shinobi World War. Because when Moa
[17:44] started using mouth lasers that were
[17:46] confirmed to travel at the speed of
[17:47] light, and every single member of Team 7
[17:48] was able to react to and dodge them, it
[17:50] was in that moment confirmed that people
[17:52] like Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were all
[17:55] FTL. And the FTL feats didn't stop
[17:57] there. Naruto and Naruto reton a light
[17:59] novel that takes place during the Muja
[18:01] Bandits arc of Boruto dodges a photon
[18:03] laser in base while riding a bike which
[18:06] means that in base he is casually FTL.
[18:08] And considering the fact that Naruto and
[18:09] Sasuke were shown as equals to each
[18:11] other in terms of speed in their last
[18:12] Valley of the End fight, with both of
[18:14] them being able to land blows and
[18:15] deflect blows from each other, it's safe
[18:17] to assume that basically any and all
[18:19] speed upgrades that Naruto got over the
[18:20] year, not only did Sasuke get, but was
[18:22] also able to react, too. Which is backed
[18:24] by the fact that he's not only a dual
[18:26] EMS wielder, but also the wielder of a
[18:27] sixto renegon, at least at the peak of
[18:29] his strike. Two separate jutsu that amp
[18:31] Sasuke's extrensory perception. However,
[18:33] even Sasuke with his possible universe
[18:35] leading extrensory perception wasn't
[18:37] able to track the chalk rods of either
[18:38] Jiggan or Ishiki. And that's insane
[18:41] because Sasuke is not only reacted to
[18:43] but also blited FTL opponents previous
[18:46] to this fight like Momo Shiki. And
[18:48] therefore, for something to be moving so
[18:50] quick or so imperceptibly that even
[18:52] Sasuke can't react to it means that
[18:54] Junishiki brought an entirely new level
[18:56] of speed to the universe. However, that
[18:58] entirely new level of speed was
[19:00] immediately trounced by Barryon Mod
[19:02] Naruto, who's not only able to react to
[19:04] the chakra rods of Ishiki, but also
[19:06] catch them. And therefore, while there's
[19:08] no way for us to quantify exactly how
[19:10] fast Jin or Rajiki's chakra rods were
[19:12] going, the fact that Sasuke, who is FDL
[19:14] plus very comfortably, could not react
[19:16] to these shocker rods, but Barry mode
[19:18] Naruto could not only react to them, but
[19:20] also catch them in a literal bunch means
[19:22] that Barry mode Naruto is somewhere in
[19:24] the region of massively FTL. So, with
[19:27] all this said, the upper ends of the
[19:29] Naruto universe are solar system level
[19:32] and massively FTL. And I know some of
[19:34] you are doing the math right now and
[19:36] realizing that those stats are better
[19:37] than One Piece's stats. And yeah, you're
[19:39] right. Because like we said, One Piece
[19:41] seems to cap out somewhere in the region
[19:42] of Small Planet Plus and FTL to FTL
[19:46] Plus. So, the highest end combatant in
[19:48] One Piece seems to not only be weaker,
[19:49] but also slower than the highest end
[19:51] combatant in Naruto. Now, does this
[19:54] matter? No. Does it mean that you should
[19:55] like One Piece less than you like
[19:57] Naruto? No. And does it mean that every
[19:59] character in One Piece loses to their
[20:00] respective counter in the Naruto
[20:02] universe? Also, no. But on a universe by
[20:04] universewide basis, the One Piece
[20:06] universe is weaker than the Naruto
[20:08] universe. At least at its highest
[20:10] bounds. I'm sure if you scaled every
[20:12] single character in One Piece and every
[20:14] single character in Naruto, maybe you'd
[20:16] find a different story, but I'm not
[20:17] going to do that. But with Naruto out of
[20:18] the way, that brings us to our last
[20:19] entry in the big three, Bleach. Now,
[20:22] with all the other universes, we talked
[20:24] about a plethora of different characters
[20:25] that exist at the top of power in their
[20:27] respective universes. However, in
[20:29] Bleach, there's one character who stands
[20:32] above literally everybody else by heads
[20:35] and shoulders, and that one person is
[20:37] Yaba. Ichigo, Eizen, Squad Zero, and all
[20:41] of Yahaba's personal guards literally
[20:43] pale in comparison. Ichigo, the main
[20:45] character of this story, never scratches
[20:48] Yaba's level of strength. So, how strong
[20:50] is he? Well, for one, Yava said to be
[20:52] stronger than post Unoana training
[20:54] Zaraki. And for those of you who aren't
[20:56] caught up on TYBW, basically Ken Pachi
[20:58] Zaraki, the guy who's known to be one of
[21:00] the strongest members of the Goatee 13,
[21:02] purposely placed a ton of limiters on
[21:04] himself to make himself weaker so that
[21:06] he would never be able to surpass
[21:07] Captain Unahana. First person who ever
[21:09] gave him a legitimate run for his money
[21:11] in terms of strength. However, after
[21:13] training with Unahana and after killing
[21:15] Unahana, Kenpachi Zuraki was able to
[21:17] finally step into his role as a Ken
[21:19] Pachchi aka the strongest swordsman in
[21:22] the Sarat. Now, it was this training
[21:24] with Unahana and the first communication
[21:26] he ever had with his Zanakto that
[21:28] allowed for him to not only have it
[21:29] undergo its first Shikai release, but
[21:31] also its first Bongai release that
[21:33] allowed for Ken Pachi to battle against
[21:34] some of the most powerful Stern Ritters.
[21:37] Like, for example, Gmy, the visionary.
[21:39] to see Gmy as the stern writer V had the
[21:42] power of the visionary which allowed for
[21:43] Gmy to do anything. If anybody ever asks
[21:47] you what ability do you want from anime,
[21:49] it's the visionary. Gmy is just a
[21:51] ridiculously powerful reality warper. If
[21:53] he wants to turn your bones into
[21:54] cookies, he can. If he wants to crush
[21:56] you with a comet that comes out of
[21:57] nowhere, he can. And Kenpachi Zuraki
[21:59] with only his Shikai release was able to
[22:01] defeat Gmy. Kenpachi Zuraki was able to
[22:04] overcome a threat that could literally
[22:06] make anything reality. And it's implied
[22:08] that these limiters that Zeraki lived
[22:09] with for his entire life were actually
[22:11] the only reason that he lost to the
[22:13] stern rider roid Lloyd. Now Roid Lloyd
[22:15] had the shrift Y for yourself. Allowed
[22:18] for him to take the form of Yahaba and
[22:20] rather easily defeat Kenpachi Zaraki.
[22:22] However, like I said, it's heavily
[22:24] implied that the only reason Kenpachi
[22:25] lost his fight is because of the limiter
[22:27] that he didn't lift off himself until he
[22:28] defeated Unahada. But Roy Lloyd, while
[22:30] taking on the form of Yaba, was able to
[22:32] go toe-to-toe with the likes of Captain
[22:34] Yamamoto, the head captain of the Goatee
[22:36] 13, a man whose bonai release literally
[22:39] turned the tip of his blade into an
[22:41] actual sun. The sheer activation of
[22:44] which immediately evaporated all of the
[22:45] water inside of the Serot. And
[22:47] therefore, if Ken Pachi Zaraki without
[22:49] his limiters would have been able to
[22:50] defeat Roy Lloyd, a person who was able
[22:52] to go toe-to-toe with the likes of
[22:53] Captain Yamamoto, then it's safe to
[22:55] assume that a Zaraki with no limiters on
[22:57] him is a multi-olar system level threat.
[23:00] And Jihaba is stronger than him. Boy,
[23:03] Nick, how do we get to multi- solar
[23:04] system level? Well, it's mostly because
[23:06] of Captain Yamamoto, who, like I said,
[23:08] was able to evaporate all the water
[23:09] inside of an entire realm simply by
[23:11] activating his bonkey. And as realms in
[23:13] the Bleach universe kind of operate like
[23:15] universes of their own, this is an
[23:16] absurd feat. Tie that into the fact that
[23:18] Yamamoto was wielding the power of a sun
[23:21] and a sun when wielded and or exploded
[23:24] and very easily destroy one if not
[23:26] multiple solar systems. I'm not going to
[23:28] get into the actual physics of it all,
[23:30] but people have calked how much energy
[23:31] it would take to evaporate all of the
[23:33] water around the Serot in one instant.
[23:35] tied in with the fact that Captain
[23:36] Yamamoto was able to withstand the
[23:38] temperature of his blade, which is
[23:40] something like 14 billion degrees C and
[23:42] use that to count the amount of energy
[23:43] he was able to maintain in his body,
[23:45] which counted out to multi- solar system
[23:47] level. But Yahaba is stronger than that,
[23:50] which is fair when you consider the fact
[23:53] that after he assumes the role of soul
[23:54] king, he is not only able to remove the
[23:56] barriers between different realms like
[23:58] the human realms and the serundo, but
[24:01] also destroy entire realms and recreate
[24:04] them in the vision that he wants. Now,
[24:06] this is eerily similar to omnipotence in
[24:08] the Boruto universe because let's not
[24:09] forget that Iaba's main plan is to
[24:11] remove the barriers between the three
[24:13] universes and smash them all into one
[24:15] universe. something that would require
[24:17] being able to control three separate
[24:19] universes all at once to pull off. Now,
[24:22] depending on who you ask here, this is
[24:23] either a universal, a universal plus, or
[24:25] a multiversal level feat, depending on
[24:27] how certain people feel about the Bleach
[24:29] universe. Some people believe that the
[24:30] human realm, Waco, Mundo, and the Sarat
[24:32] all exist within the confines of one
[24:34] universe. And therefore, being able to
[24:35] control the pairs between these realms
[24:37] and control these realms individually,
[24:39] even melding them together, is just a
[24:41] universal feat. While others believe
[24:42] that WO Mundo, the Serrete, and the
[24:44] human realm all exist as separate
[24:46] universes. And thus, the soul king's
[24:48] ability to control these three separate
[24:49] universes is a universal plus feat.
[24:51] While others believe that Homo, the
[24:53] Serret, and the human realm exist in
[24:55] entirely different multiversal
[24:57] timelines. And thus, Soul King
[24:59] maintaining these barriers is actually
[25:01] more like setting up a multiversal
[25:02] divide between these three realms. And
[25:04] that's another thing. These three realms
[25:06] only exist in a separated state because
[25:08] of the Soul King. And therefore any and
[25:10] every moment that they remain as
[25:12] separate entities from each other is
[25:14] actually a passive input from the soul
[25:16] king. And as yaba becomes the soul king
[25:18] this means simply by existing he was
[25:20] controlling these three separate
[25:22] universes. Thus to split the contrary
[25:24] opinions here of universe or a
[25:26] multiversal we'll simply say that is
[25:28] universal plus. In that categorization,
[25:30] he is relatively alone as the other
[25:33] highest potential threats in the Bleach
[25:34] universe like Ichigo and Eizen tend to
[25:36] cap out somewhere in the region of
[25:38] multi- galaxy level. See, Bleach is the
[25:39] one universe that's kind of difficult to
[25:41] scale when we're talking about using the
[25:43] strongest person from the universe as a
[25:45] representation of how far the universe
[25:46] can go cuz Yhaba is so much stronger
[25:49] than everybody else. But still, in terms
[25:50] of speed, Yahaba is also insane. In
[25:53] fact, his speed caps out at literally
[25:55] infinite. Yhaba gives the shift of X to
[25:58] one of his main guardsmen. And the shift
[26:00] of X conveys the ability Xaxxis, which
[26:03] grants the user the ability to fire
[26:05] instantaneous projectiles. Kind of like
[26:07] a hit scan character in an FPS. There is
[26:09] no travel time. The second the trigger
[26:11] is pulled, whatever is being aiming at
[26:13] is hit instantaneously. And as all of
[26:15] the shifts eventually go back to Yakaba,
[26:17] I mean, that's literally why he hands
[26:19] them out in the beginning. Yubba also
[26:20] has access to the X-axis. And while
[26:23] nobody in the universe can either dodge
[26:24] or block the X-axis, because how do you
[26:26] block or react to something that happens
[26:28] instantaneously, most of the characters
[26:30] in the Bleach universe cap out around
[26:32] massively FTL, so somewhere in the same
[26:34] region as the Naruto characters, though
[26:37] most likely faster. I mean, obviously
[26:39] massively FTL is a huge range, but there
[26:42] is a lot of quantifiable crazy high-end
[26:44] speed feats in Naruto. But with all that
[26:46] said, where does Bleach cap out? Well,
[26:48] if we're using Yakaba as the watermark,
[26:51] then somewhere in the region of Universe
[26:52] Plus with infinite speed. So, you know,
[26:55] way stronger than anybody from Naruto or
[26:57] One Piece, which means at the end of the
[26:59] day, if you just look at the numbers
[27:00] with no bias whatsoever, Bleach is the
[27:03] fastest and strongest universe out of
[27:04] the big three. Naruto comes in second
[27:06] and One Piece narrowly comes in third.
[27:09] Now, should this shake up how you feel
[27:10] about any of these universes? No. But is
[27:12] Naruto beating Luffy in a 1v one fight?
[27:15] Probably. Is Ichigo beating both of them
[27:16] at the same time? Also, probably, and
[27:19] that's fine. Who cares? One Piece is
[27:21] still the best written, Naruto still got
[27:23] the best fights, and Bleach still has
[27:24] the coolest character design. And at the
[27:26] end of the day, that matters a whole lot
[27:27] more than who Punchy the hardest. But
[27:29] I'm curious to hear from you guys. Do
[27:31] you believe this is an accurate ranking
[27:32] of the big three? Do you truly believe
[27:33] One Piece is the weakest universe out of
[27:35] the big three? Let me know in the
[27:37] comments below. And while you guys are
[27:38] down there, please for me, like this
[27:40] video, subscribe to the page, and hit
[27:41] that noty bell. Listen, back in the day
[27:43] when it was just Naruto, One Piece was
[27:44] probably stronger. But Naruto's been to
[27:46] space like twice now, and unfortunately
[27:49] that's just going to scale things kind
[27:50] of crazily.
