That arc holds up really poorly because its pretty bad as a whodunit and also every character acts like a fucking retard just to move the plot along. Its definitely a page turner i.e. there's not a dull moment throughout, Bleach reached its zenith of cool characters looking cool during Soul Society but it showed early on what Kubo's weaknesses as a writer were.
It's still wild to me how nowadays people unironically think One Piece women are hot when back then people hated them for "having the same face and body". Bleach wins by sheer variety alone.
All that's all a battle series should ever need to be, cool characters having cool battles in cool locales. By that metric Bleach has both highest high and the lowest lows, but it's way too inconsistent to be the best unless you're engaged in a waifu war. Then Bleach is the undisputed king of the big three.
Oda's art style makes everyone look ugly but if you draw them even slightly off model they somehow look even more ugly.

Which Bleach PSP game? There's 7 of those fucking things
It's so bad the One Piece card game has other artists doing work, with mixed results. Some characters get better, but the stupidly goofy ones are a lost cause.
This isn't really unusual for a TCG and arguably the cards not just being screenshots of the anime or manga is a good thing anyway.
I kid you not, there are cards like that. Simple screenshots of the manga, with all the text on it. It's lazy as fuck.
Yea, I know. That's unfortunately also not that unusual for TCGs, lmao. At least ones based off of existing properties, anyway. I dunno how these TCGs based on stuff like One Piece or Dragonball even get popular in the first place. I've never been a big TCG guy in the first place but do people actually play these games or are they just collecting them for the art and for the series itself?
Most of the time it's this, Pokemon does have a pretty active competitive scene and that's basically the one exception that I know of but the majority of its recent popularity is just trend chasers and investment retards driving up prices. Pokemon cards are the Beanie Babies of the 2020s.
Obviously DBZ. Yu Yu Hakusho is the best thing Togashi ever wrote imo, but Hunter x Hunter is also good. One Punch Man is a fun read and an actual deconstruction of Shounen tropes made with love, though only season 1 of the anime is able to really get across the beautiful art in the manga. FMA is confusing but well written I'd say in both iterations- just depends on your preference. The Big Three are classics, though I will never watch One Piece. It's a bit of a crossover with Shoujo but Inuyasha is a fun ride.
There are two mangas though. The first manga's art is best described as "shitpost" and the later manga is the one with great art.
Inuyasha is fun. RIP Kirby Morrow
Yashahime really isn't worth it. It's better than something like Boruto but it suffers from a lot of the same issues.
