Wano arc was cool nod to the edo era period and I enjoyed the story arc of Kaido, and the lore of Whitebeard and Roger. Basically it was straw hats trying to save Wano, and overthrow its corrupt leader and ideals. Which is typical for team Luffy. And just like the last arc we got a new form. It seems after timeskip every Big arc Luffy gets a new amp power up form. Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy got the most shine here. And Luffy vs Kaido was icing on the cake.
Naruto fourth war had a slow beginning, but it’s ending is best out of these 3 wars. The premise is pretty much battles against villains from the past, now revived as zombies. You get a lot of strategic battles, and a large point of it was working together as comrades with ninjas from other countries. Ultimately sparking a bright future, to tone down conflict between nations, setting aside their differences to defeat a common enemy. Kind of a Independence Day feeing vibe. The white Zetsu battles were boring for me. Tbh the war really didn’t start getting great until Edo Madara Apperance, Naruto went Biju mode, and Obito being unmasked. After that we got Kaiju lv fights, super ninja powered attacks, and more and more power ups. It quickly became more focused on Naruto and Sasuke power scaling leaving everyone else in the dust aside Six paths / Juubi Jin amps and 8 gates.
Bleach is underrated. It’s war arc is by far the best start off. But it’s ending and execution is probably most poorly for the war arcs. When Ywach entered SS and declared war, killing Old Man yam one of the strongest Shinigami around at that time for years in the fandom aside from Dangai Ichi and Monster Aizen. It just set the tone for the entire arc and sent chills down your body. I also appreciated the lore and origins of Ichigo and his mother initially being a Quincy. But Ichigo final fights felt too rushed and didn’t give him enough shine to show his progression. I also felt orihime being there to face Ywach with ichigo was vaguely egregious for me.
