Great, you've admitted you're wrong. Most can't do that today, so props to you!
Im busy so I'm gonna keep this short (typing from phone).
Honestly, I feel any nekketsu that runs in Jump is worth comparing, regardless of subject. Their nature as narrative driven manga means they all directly compete with each other.
I meant in terms of manga sales records, not overall gross.
You are right that there are objective standards but you kinda fell on the nose with your last point because how do you even decide that FMA is better written than Bleach? How do you measure it? In the end its just a feeling for you that its better written. Some things you think are lacking are in Bleach, could be the favorite aspect of Bleach for other people.
I didn't say it cannot be compared, though. I also didn't say anything about series length, so I don't know what you mean by it. My point is that those are still subjective comparisons and that subjectivity doesn't equal "every opinion is equally right", just that quality standards aren't universal and that every work is way too complicated to be boiled down to objective measurements. But of course you can compare One Piece to other battle manga, when did I say otherwise?
What does nekketsu mean in this context? I feel like I've seen you use this word recently but I don't understand it.
Bleach has numerous plot holes.

You're right, my bad. You didn't state that. I was responding in general because I think the general feeling about why OP cannot be compared to others is how long it is.
As someone who used to buy OP volumes and read ton of interviews. My picture of Oda is that he loves competition and he is a person who gets motivated by that. See for example, when Naruto ended, Oda was sad because he lost a rival and he admitted that he lost worldwide to Naruto, even if he won in Japan. He was not a sour loser about it. Heck, even in the last interview with Horikoshi, Oda was happy that MHA was carrying Jump now. Saying that all the elementary school kids love MHA more than OP.That is what you believe, another thing is what really is.
And that serves as proof of what, exactly?
Can't I leave you a message here on the forum saying how smart and how great you are, and then in my privacy cursing you because you broke a record that was usually mine?
I'm not saying that is the case. But to affirm that one thinks a certain thing by a simple note that he left seems to me wrong.
Literally "hot-blooded". It's nowadays just a net term for all narratively driven series regardless of tempo, though.
Just because things aren't explained, they don't automatically become plot holes. Not saying that Bleach doesn't have any but you can find plot holes in any series. If i go through FMA, i will probably find enough like "the character could've done this here" or "why was he standing there." Those things exist anywhere. It wasn't about plot holes tho or about Bleach. Im just saying that you can't just say that series x is objectively better than series y.
Even if those are objective faults (which is another argument entirely), I still don't think that translates to "this series is objectively worse than series y". Nemesis said "it was a great dramatic twist, even if it made no sense" (or something to that effect), and for some this dramatic impact might overcome the logical flaw, while for some it might not. I don't think one opinion is more correct than the other here, because they are clearly two elements that play into what makes a series good or bad.
Sorry, but I can't buy that argument.
a plot hole, plothole or plot error is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot.
Just because you choose to follow a series for it's art or fights, doesn't mean plot holes won't become plot holes.
