>new big 3
No matter how much they try to push this narrative, it won't work. There's only one Big 3: One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. The Big 3 was a specific moment in time just like the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry, it's not a shifting title. If it was, One Piece would always have a seat at the table regardless of what the other two spots are and that's not useful as a distinction.
The Big 3 are: One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. That's set in stone and immutable.
MHA was the most direct and qualified successor to the Big 3 by trying to play the same game as them, but while it got big it never became a phenomenon on the same level, because anime was already beginning to fracture due to the rise of streaming and increased volume per season.
JJK came out much later after MHA, and by that time, smartphones, social media and streaming services became commonplace. People started discussing seasonal anime much more. And people started watching them more to be "in the now." Things have more or less equalized.
Demon Slayer made no significant sales or popularity for 3 full years of its run and only just became popular at the end of its lifetime as a thanks to the anime that gave the mediocre source material steroids.
