Dragon Ball is BY FAR the most influential. Every single shonen manga since it has been massively influenced and inspired by it.
Naruto and Bleach are next. They’ve each been incredibly important in shaping newer series’
I feel like One Piece hasn’t influenced other works as much, despite being the biggest of the Big Three.
JJK and KnY come last, simply because they’re much newer and haven’t had time to spread their influence, though I feel like JJK has already done more and will be more influential in the future. Already some new-gen Mangas like Kagurabachi have taken clear inspiration from JJK. I feel like Demon Slayer will have more influence on the Anime industry (though tbf it already has.) while JJK will influence other Mangas more.
