Someone had the trouble of listing all of Japanese Va together for the characters too:
Thanos: Uchiha Madara
Spider-man: Rock Lee
Mantis: İno Yamanaka
Doctor Strange: Naruto
Iron-Man: Sasuke
Nebula: Sakura
Quill and Drax: Those two Jonin from konoha
Bleach > Naruto (OP2 Naruto is a banger tho). Never did get into One Piece.
Can we all agree that we all wish to go back to when these were still in their prime / getting new episodes still? Those were the days...

I love a handful of openings from all three shows, but to me, Asterisk (Bleach OP 1) is literally the best thing about the Bleach anime. That's right, it peaked with its very first OP.
EDIT:
EDIT:
Oh shit, I thought I was the only one who thought this.
Bleach's soundtrack on the other hand is the best by far even if Naruto has some amazing sad music.
Tbh, I want to say One Piece. But One Piece had just decent and skipable openings for a too long time. Let's rewatch what I mean:
One Piece had straight dumpster fire Openings.
If you watched One Piece, up until Skypea, he was just rolling the seacard over and over again. The Alabasta one wasn't good either.
Up until they left Skypea the Openings were just.. there. Not fitting the theme and standalone just bad. Tbqh, Alabasta and Skypea would've needed at least two openings each, the length of both was too much to make one fitting. But if we rate the Openings after that, I'd give it to One Piece in a heartbeat.
The Openings started to get amazingly good with Water 7. Opening 5:
Unbelievably good.
The Openings then were constantly good. Brand New World was rocky, Crazy Rainbow was sweet, Jungle P was catchy. Lackluster are simply the "We Are" openings. There were just too many.
Then the bombs dropped. Not only were the openings good by themselves, I have yet to see such a long and ongoing anime with such super fitting openings in terms of themes:
Share the world had such a strong vibe, everyone knew something bad was coming. I always had goose bumps. The opening was the introduction to an arc that changed something. Marine Ford is still such a high quality arc, one that has yet to be beaten for me. Not only in One Piece. It's the best, hands down. Never would a character in One Piece die, right? But the way it was written, everyone was just discussing on the highest level how you would write this arc without casualties. Because if at the end everyone just goes home.. then what for? I remember all the dedicated One Piece boards at that time. One Piece got lit.
The next Opening dropped: Kaze o sagashite
What is this? We go from happy to melancholic, to action and then melancholic again. Do you represent my five stages of grieving while knowing something turns wrong? Social media was full of this stuff. Will Ace die or not? If you only watched the anime at that time, the opening spoiled a lot. You knew how dense the situation is with all the characters that appear in the opening.
Next one made grown up men cry, a lot:
Give me some handkerchiefs please. This opening is so emotional that Bleach and Naruto would be the dumpster fire now.
You posted the rest of the newer Openings. One Piece is just straight fire in every possible way right now. The Openings are amazing. Story telling is searching for an opponent that probably won't come anymore.
OP
OP
The OG Silhouette video had 60+ million views, it was such a banger.
Anyways as for this I'd put naruto > bleach > one piece
One piece has some good ones but even those ain't toughing the best of bleach and naruto.
As with the previous Big 3 poll, the answer is Gintama....nothing is like watching that show and it's happy, jaunty openings and then Does' "Donten" arrives.
JoJo is second, purely for Bloody Stream.

Bleach's first opening was it's best and still remains in the upper tiers of anime OPs to this day.
Dude I love one piece as much as the next guy but the 2000s are over. Us one piece fans can stop pretending that One Piece is aesthetically superior to Naruto or Bleach.
I'm not really a One Piece fan. Never got very far in One Piece albeit I know the Openings while I actually finished Bleach and Naruto.
I agree. The other intro that's a just guitar solo with that reverb effect is the WAAY better GOAT opening
Du du du du du duuuuu do duuu duuuu duuu
du du du
Nah it's One Piece, My Hero, and Demon Slayer right now. Demon Slayer is beating My Hero too and beat One Piece in sales last year.
I mean the Big Three has always been a reference to just these three manga that dominated the landscape at the time and not just whoever the top three is currently.
Bleach, Naruto and One Piece are the Big Three. We're past that era now but everyone remembers the Big Three.
Bleach has the best openings.
I wish we had a bleach game like xenoverse. The psp ruined everything. 😭

Well for One Piece: most are iconic, with 5 and 6 being my favorites.
Bleach: i despise the first one but from 2 onwards they are all jams, and the animation is amazing in most of them...
Naruto: lots of iconic ones like 2, 3 and 4. FLOW always delivered, and Kana Book in shippudden too...
This is the hardest question, holy shit. But considering style and presentation, it probably goes to Bleach.

ahh, so "Big 3" is just whatever's most popular at the moment? Dragon Ball I can see with it's hiatus being out of there, but Bleach has the best of your three for sure.
Rolling star was my jam in high school. Man Bleach openings are gold.
At the same time, Naruto has Go, haruka kanata, Closer, Sign and Silhouette...

Bleach: Literally every opening except OP11 are classics imo.
Naruto is cool but a lot of the early OP's sound so... old. Some of the Shippuden ones are great though. Particularly 6,7,8,16, and 20
One Piece I like 13, 14, and 20. Namie Amuro is a god. The rest are kinda meh tbh.

I relate to this post so hard. As soon as those few first notes hit I'm transported to a different time. I'm still in my early 20's yet I feel so old when I listen to Bleach's OP1.
