Objectively, I'm of the mindset to think they all still pop off. Cause legitimately, they all have great 1st episodes. Couple that with modern animation?

Not convinced? Okay let's go 1 by 1 for each beginning episode

Naruto: Hokage preamble. Fire. Sets a tone. Shift to troublemaker kid hijnx. Shows potential rivals and supporting characters. Slapstick & gags. Establishes he's alone. "THE SWING" Works hard even w/little talent. He trusts his teacher but is fooled. Steps up after messing up. Takes 1st step

One Piece: Establishes mythos w/Roger's execution. Cuts to backwater Island. Introduces tone with mix of humor and bandits. Shows Luffy is a free spirit and will just do as he pleases. Sets stakes with Pirates v Bandits. Ups the ante when Luffy is scooped. Shanks' sacrifice. The strawhat is passed

Bleach: Tone set w/Rukia stepping ethereally on post w/ the moon behind her. Chills. Now Ichigo protects spirits memorial. His chivalry then versus his attitude later hilarious. Meets w/Rukia leads to hollow attack. He begs and pleads for a chance to save family. Now you feel like #1!
Big sword! Fin

They each get to their respective big moments & establish who we will be w/for this journey. It's a reason they are the mold by what Modern Shonen is guaged by. Typically, it takes multiple episodes to get started in old anime & spends more time getting to know MCs. The big 3 does all do it in 1

Modern animation with the Big 3 would go insane.
