Naruto Uzumaki Vs Ichigo Kurosaki

#### (Naruto Vs Bleach)

* They are both the main protagonists of shonen anime/manga which are part of the Big Three.
* Both are teenage heroes who are abnormally powerful in their respective universes, harboring unnaturally large amounts of their respective universe's life energy (Chakra and Reishi, respectively).
* Both are also reimagined versions of Japanese warriors (ninja and samurai, respectively), have a sealed monster inside of them (Kurama and Zangetsu, respectively) and have multiple increasingly stronger super modes, one of which sacrifices their power through consistent use to the point of losing it permanently (Baryon Mode and Final Getsuga Tenshō, respectively).
* Both are also allied with skilled female tsunderes (Sakura Haruno and Rukia Kuchiki, respectively) and were mentored by snarky, but skilled and highly respected figures with ties to their parents (Kakashi Hatake, who was on a team led by Naruto's father and later became the Sixth Hokage, and Kisuke Urahara, who helped Ichigo's mother overcome her inner Hollow and was the former captain of the 12th Division).
* Both also have mothers who died protecting them, had strong ties to their unique bloodline, and had a sealed monster inside of them before passing them on to their son (Kushina Uzumaki, who comes from the Uzumaki Clan and was the former Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, and Masaki Kurosaki, who was a Quincy and had been infected by the Hollow White, respectively).
* Both are also chosen ones in some way (Naruto being the reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki and Ichigo being a rare Shinigami-Quincy hybrid as well as being chosen as one of the candidates to become the next Soul King).
* Both have also fought evil organizations that have similar members to each other (the Akatsuki and both the Espada and Sternritter, respectively) and manipulative illusionists whose plans lead to their birth (Madara Uchiha and Sōsuke Aizen, respectively).
* Additionally, both come from a famous clan (Uzumaki Clan and Shiba Clan, respectively) and are also descendants of their respective series' final antagonists (Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Yhwach, respectively) stemming from their mother's side.
* Furthermore, at the end of their series, both had a son who has potential to surpass them (Boruto Uzumaki and Kazui Kurosaki, respectively).
* Both also have aloof, stoic and brooding rivals who challenge their ideals and later became evil before joining their side again at the end of their series (Sasuke Uchiha and Uryū Ishida, respectively), both of whom are voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama.
* Both also have fathers who were of a highly respected position (Minato Namikaze, who was the Fourth Hokage, and Isshin Kurosaki, who was the former captain of the 10th Division, respectively), both of whom are voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.
* Both also married their shy, but kind-hearted love interests who had a crush on them (Hinata Hyūga and Orihime Inoue, respectively) at the end of their series, both of whom are voiced by Stephanie Sheh.
* Both have appeared in multiple Shonen Jump crossover video games together, including Jump Super Stars, Jump Ultimate Stars, J-Stars Victory VS, and Jump Force.
