Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve based on a community poll conducted among traders, as the question of who is the strongest among Monkey D. Luffy, Naruto Uzumaki, and Ichigo Kurosaki is subjective and varies depending on interpretations of their respective series. The poll will be open for voting for a period of one week after the market's closing date. The character receiving the highest number of votes will be deemed the strongest, and the market will resolve accordingly.

Background

Monkey D. Luffy is the protagonist of One Piece. After consuming the Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit, his body gained rubber-like properties, allowing him to stretch and expand his limbs. Luffy has developed various combat techniques, including his Gear transformations, which significantly enhance his strength, speed, and durability. His most recent transformation, Gear Fifth, grants him abilities reminiscent of the mythical Sun God Nika, enabling him to manipulate his body and surroundings in cartoonish and unpredictable ways.

Naruto Uzumaki is the main character of Naruto. As a ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, he possesses immense chakra reserves and is the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Kurama. Throughout his journey, Naruto has mastered various powerful techniques, including the Rasengan and Sage Mode. His most potent form, Baryon Mode, involves fusing his chakra with Kurama's, drastically increasing his physical abilities and allowing him to drain the lifespan of his opponents upon contact. However, this form comes at the cost of Kurama's life, leaving Naruto significantly weakened afterward. (otakusnotes.com)

Ichigo Kurosaki is the central figure in Bleach. He is a human with the abilities of a Soul Reaper, Hollow, and Quincy, making him a unique hybrid with access to a vast array of powers. Ichigo wields a Zanpakutō named Zangetsu and can perform high-speed movements and energy-based attacks like the Getsuga Tenshō. His final form, achieved during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, combines his various powers, granting him immense strength and the ability to combat formidable adversaries like Yhwach, the series' primary antagonist.

Considerations

• Subjectivity of Strength: The determination of "strength" can vary based on different criteria, such as physical power, versatility, durability, and combat experience. Each character has unique abilities and power-ups that make direct comparisons challenging.

• Contextual Power Levels: The power levels of these characters are context-dependent, influenced by the specific arcs and developments within their respective series. For instance, Naruto's Baryon Mode is a temporary form with significant drawbacks, while Luffy's Gear Fifth is a recent development with evolving capabilities.

• Community Interpretation: Fans and analysts have differing opinions on who is the strongest among the three. Some argue that Ichigo's final form grants him superior power, while others believe Luffy's Gear Fifth or Naruto's Baryon Mode places them at the top. (fictionhorizon.com)

Given these considerations, the resolution of this market will rely on the collective opinion of the community through the aforementioned poll.

• Update 2025-07-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The strength comparison for the community poll should be based on each character at their peak power.
