When a pop culture fan invokes their "Mount Rushmore", they are usually referring to the top four examples that they will turn to when it comes to the medium that they are talking about and anime fans are no different. Thanks to a recent Twitter Post that has gone viral, an anime version of Mount Rushmore compiled Goku, Naruto, Luffy, and Ichigo from Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach respectively. However, not every anime fan agrees with this "top four" list and have taken to social media to debate which characters deserve the top spots.

My Mixtapes got the ball rolling on this anime discussion using their Official Twitter Account, leaving many fans debating if these Shonen characters deserve the top spots when it comes to the Mount Rushmore of the medium:

Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of Anime? Do you think Ichigo has earned his place as one of the biggest characters of anime? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics and anime.

Disagreements Abound

Goku- doesn't deserve to be there everything post the Frieza arc has no character development just power up after power up.
Ichigo -Kubo was feed up and rushed to make an ending.
Naruto- has a legit case if Boruto never happened.
Luffy- I've never watched too many episodes.
