Why do people call these "the new big 3" none of them are anywhere nearly as good as what came before it.
I mean, I always thought Naruto was shit, but just compare HeroAca to Naruto:
Nothing significant has happened in 235 chapters. It's just been the usual formula of new villain, before going back to status quo, with no signigicant consequences. Hell, the peak of the manga thus far has been AM vs AfO, but it doesn't even come close to being as impacting to its own series as Oro vs Third was in Naruto, which was the climax of a properly built up Tournament arc that ended in a FUCKING KAIJU BATTLE and Naruto for the first time ever showcashing a move he trained hard to get. Like, Oro vs Third elevated the stakes even further, and propelled the story forward after the fact due to how huge an impact it was to the status quo of the series. Meanwhile AM vs AfO just suddenly happened out of nowhere with little real build up, and the only real consequences of it is that AM now can't be a Hero anymore. He didn't even die, and we never really felt the weight of the even on the story as not long after, people were back to school festivals and other dogshit. It's like if after Dumbledore in HP died, Harry just went back to Hogwarts as if shit hadn't seriously gone down in the last book.
And Oro vs. Third isn't even the relative point. By Chapter 235, we were at Valley of the End, with Naruto vs Sasuke, arguably the peak of Naruto. By chapter 235, MHA has bored me to absolute tears so hard I basically dropped it.
It's a similar story for the other two as well. Neither is particularly remarkable.
I always liked Naruto and I knew whatever nuShonen comes after will be nowhere as interesting to follow.
I was right.
Isaac Reed
Naruto is complete shit, kid
Grayson Martinez
I dont even know who that is on the left.
Jayden Price
No. But stay seething.

Just for contrast, here's all the major events in Naruto that happened by Ch. 235:
>Zabuza arc, Naruto got his bullshit power >Forest fight, they get wrecked by Oro, Sasuke gets cursed seal >Tournament Arc part one, Gaara vs Rock Lee >Training Arc 1 - introducing the best character to the series, Jiraiya >Tournament Arc part two, Gaara turns into a Kaiju, Summoning Jutsu Pays off, one of the most epic battles up till that point between Oro and Third >Third dies marking a major turning point for the series >Sasuke gets btfo by Itachi, changing course for his character development, and sowing the seeds for his eventual betrayal >Training Arc 2 for Naruto: Rasengan >epic Sannin Fight, Rasengan pays off, Tsunade is new Hokage >Sasuke and Naruto have a spat >Sasuke betrays Konoha and leaves >save Sasuke arc, everyone gets btfo >Valley of the End, arguably the peak of Naruto >Time skip happens like 20 chapters later
Notice how it all leads from one event to the next with constant forward momentum?
One Piece is set to end in the near future. Like 5 years tops. Jump is trying to find a replacement before that happens so sales don't tank. The other two don't deserve to stand next to Luffy, and KnY is being pushed hard as part of the new trifecta.

Nigger, if anything AfO vs All Might made All Might retire from being a hero, and society started to slowly losing its faith on heroes as a consequence. After the third's assassination, nations pretty much didn't give a fuck, konoha run as usual during a time without a real head, until it was replaced by Tsunade. The fact time goes up doesn't mean the status quo doesn't stand still.
