[Discussion] Will Fairy Tail be able to be in the Big Three because Naruto is already over?

[p0kerx]

I mean look at this manga now. I think this is the manga who was the closest one to the Big Three.
Now Naruto is over and there is one left place to fulfill the new Big Three.
Will Fairy Tail be able to replace Naruto?
If you think about it Fairy Tail right now is on it's epic half way.
Tartaros arc for me is one of the most epic arcs in the show and tell us big questions throughout the series.
This arc is just like Pain arc in Naruto, Marineford in One Piece and in Bleach Aizen's arc.
So what do you think?

Imo, yes .

 

[Sonzumaki]

Why can't it be The Big Two?

LOL, a manga isn't going to "replace" Naruto. "The Big Three" existed because of how big Naruto, One Piece and Bleach are. Not Fairy Tail, not Toriko, etc.

Fairy tail isn't even in WSJ, the Big 3 was a term for the top WSJ manga's. The term lost meaning once bleach turned to shit

 

[Tantalus Thief]

Fairy Tail is not part of Shonen Jump

 

[southern sun]

Nope. Nothing can replace HST, never !

 

[Uzumaki Menma]

No, Fairy Tail is not good enough.

 

[kamui14]

Fairy tail sucks, So no.

 

[Ja maya]

Fairy Tail is not part of Shonen Jump

[Soloist]

I honestly think they were just called that because of their running length

You should try it, though it isn't for everyone there

This isn't about what you're ready or what you like, it about what is better, for instance i read other manga which i feel are better than the current HST by miles, but they don't have the fans to back it up, it all depends on the readers

Fairy tail isn't even in WSJ, the Big 3 was a term for the top WSJ manga's. The term lost meaning once bleach turned to shit

Fairy Tail is not part of Shonen Jump

Ii never really understood that logic, not pointing at you guys but just from experience, i was wondering what would happen if a shonen got big enough to surpass the rep of the current 'Big 3' or HST or whatever they're called but isn't part of SJ

Nope. Nothing can replace HST, never !

Lies, the time when the were supreme is long gone


I think i went a bit overboard

The arc is amazing indeed.

You know, I've seen this far too many times, might as quote myself and say why any anime joining the big three is impossible:

The Big three died when Bleach fell out of popularity, plus the concept of the big three is a western thing, over in Japan, One Piece is king while everyone else fights for runner-up (technically third since Naruto still holds major influence, just nowhere near the influence One Piece has).

Though I don't believe it was because of their "aesthetic" that Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece got popular, though I will admit, that is why most ppl kept following it after so long. If I'm going to be honest, it was because of timing (I've presented this argument before but I don't remember where I did such thing, so I guess I'll start from square one)

Like I said before, the Big Three is a western concept, and they all became popular in the West thanks to one thing, Toonami. North American audiences (the bulk of foreign anime fans at the time and still today) were first presented to the Big three on Toonami, being that the behemoth better known as Dragon Ball Z had lost the influence it once had in the 90's, this was a chance for other series to take advantage of the open space DBZ left behind. And as we can see today, Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto took BIG advantage to the open space.

^^There's my argument of why no other anime can join the Big Three. not because of quality or aesthetic, but because the concept of the big three in general is dead.
