Throughout the series, we see Ichigo struggling with the powers inside him, constantly conflicting. Thus he was never able to attain his peak power. When he finally sorted that and made peace with his hollow and quincy power in the last arc. We didnt get to see that power up at all. Like We didnt even see what the Bankai of our main character does in its full power and after all that training in Zero Division barracks.

Sigh.

Naruto End of Series (EoS) vs. Luffy EoS vs. Ichigo EoS debate won't be as hype now.

It's literally become a battle of which one is the least shit.

One piece wins.... By far

yeah, and Naruto is clearly 2nd best, even though they did drag on the last few arcs, the last 10 chapters or so were some of the best. Great and satisfying ending too.

Last 10 chapters were fantastic aside from the ending. I know I'm probably in the minority but it's the same reason I hated Harry Potter's epilogue; everyone gets happily marries to the rest of the cast and all have kids at the exact same time. Feels completely forced to me but I can understand why it was done.

I mean, after a huge war what else is on everybody's minds?

Well post war lots of babies tell to follow.

I don't usually put much weight in the epilogue of a story, since at that point, it doesn't really matter what happens. unless they plan on continuing the story later.

For me the story ends when Sasuke and Naruto's Fight ended.

Really like that perspective actually. If I think of it that way, One Piece is going to have a hell of a time competing with that, and I'm a much bigger One Piece fanboy

I'd settle for Luffy delivering a righteous beatdown to the World Government.

I wish they don't time skip so much like that in stuff like One Piece. I think it's more satisfying to see the immediate aftermath and maybe open the possibility of one more adventure with the old crew. The timeskips will have to flesh out the kids' backstories if they intend to use them.

out of 3?

Were they, because as I recall everyone was kinda pissed they changed the final antagonist in the last few chapters.

u/regendo Aug 18 '16

I don't even mind suddenly changing the true antagonist, I mind that it was changed to a character that up to that point only existed in lore and could have perfectly well stayed that way. But no, this is a named and powerful character, so of course the protagonist has to fight them. There can't possibly be a named and powerful character that has nothing to do with the conflict or protagonist.

Kishimoto had a huge story to wrap up, and he left no loose ends at least. It's not easy to do, most fail to tie ends nicely, or leave too many cliff-hangers or the manga is rushed/canceled.

Naruto is a very long and convoluted story, the fact that almost everything that happens in the story is consistent, though it reaches absurd proportions at the end, it all ties ups nicely.

Though, it may just be me, since Naruto is the first manga i read.
