have the massive worldwide audience

daima flops so badly nobody gives a crap except for recycling the most popular transformation but worse

yikes how did Iyoku mess that up, that series could have been a goldmine if done correctly

Dragon ball and One Piece are on a league of their own ngl. Theres no comparison

4 billion to buy star wars

run into the ground so you have to make TV shows for streaming

They still bomb or at least alcolyte

Disney will be studied on how to not fuck up

yeah

What about Kagurabachi, I don't see Kagurabachi here

putting snk in the same category as fads like fairy tail, jjk or tokyo ghoul is heinous

Plateud at a nothing burger level.

Wheres One Piece?

Wasn't slam dunk and HxH voted as a better manga than all of those in the most recent big Japan poll? And anyways, Gundam is also a bigger IP than all of those in terms of net worth. I reckon most of these things will immediately dissappear and be forgotten when the advertising money dries up.

So Shueisha won't update Kimetsu's numbers any time soon? Back in 2020 you could actually pin the real sale numbers by the sum of the Oricon yearly listings, the result was around real accounted for 125-130 million physical copies sold, surely the digital numbers and more physical sales ever since have matched, or even surpassed the 150 million circulation numbers Shueisha has reported in 2021, 4 years ago by now.

does shonen jump really make no money from merch, video games, television, etc?

No ones buying KnY in 2025 mate. Its not COVID anymore

The one piece number isnt updated either, since 2021. The manga now has 111 volumes while there it says just 103

A few years ago, every person over the age of 15 knew what Naruto was, and every teenager bought overpriced Naruto action figures that broke after a few months

yeah

Nope. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and everyone and is not a verifiable source. Second, Dragon Ball is definitely NOT worth $9B, lmao. What he posted is pretty accurate and other sources supports it too.

Actually, Dragon Ball is currently worthy of $31.6B, the revenue increased not long ago.

See And fact of the matter is, the Japanese normalfags that live around me all buy their little kids anpanman toys. None of them give a shit about any of the things you consider japanese, especially not dragon ball.

It's not bro. The marketing and events that OP gets now far out weights any thing Naruto can do. The TCG is now a top 5 TCG in the world. It is more well known and will only become more so with it getting closer to ending, more LA seasons and the Wit remake on the way. Naruto has peaked because it's over. The IP isn't getting better or more quality things surrounding it like OP.

will only become more so with it getting closer to ending

If the ending was good, sure, but that is not the case. It aged like milk.

The series has dramatically increased in world wide popularity since Wano and the G5 reveal. To deny that is it deny reality. It doesn't help Naruto out that most make fun of it and consider it mid at best and bad worst. While OP has praise around it.

While OP has praise around it.

KEK

It's not praised because I said so!!!

Shounen Jump by itself isn't a brand worth making merchandise for, are you going to buy something made out of their pirate mascot logo? They are promoting the series that run inside the magazine, which in turn are counted for as separate brands. Naturally the money Shounen Jump can count for as its own are the issues being sold.

One Piece

LMAO

retards actually think people like super and one piece

This can't be real, right?

Wan Pissers are the most insecure fanbase to exist, forever mad that 4Kids killed its chance of ever becoming popular in the west.

based 4kids

t. Huntertranny or moeblob enjoyer

OP and DBS gods own this board

one piece being successful and popular makes my mind wanna fucking explode!!? Reeee!!!

It must be so embarrassing to be seen liking One Piece in public, what a hideous looking manga

Doesn't seem like it

Naruto fag having a meltie that his manga has been surpassed and shit on by GOD Piece

KEKAROOOOOOOO

Huh believe it guys!!

My manga is totally not gay and cringe hehe

Half of the archive is one piece and dragon ball threads. Without these two this board is completely fucking dead and theres threads that dont hit bump limit for days and still arent archived. Keep up moenigger

Nobody:

WanPissers: "Naruto"

Why is it that I can pick the first page of any chapter of onimai and it will look better than any of the last 300 chapters of one piece? Why do one piece retards jerk off one piece lore and referencing things from hundreds of chapters ago when it's just a dumber version of what actually good manga like usogui did, which actually came to a proper conclusion?

Perhaps we judged 4Kids too harshly.

Without these two this board is completely fucking dead

People say this but quite frankly I've seen people say things like "Anon Babble would be dead without elder scrolls" then everyone gets fed up and leaves then the board became nothing but elder scrolls and gets 3 posts an hour now. These excuses are totally asinine. Normalfags like you are just in the way of actual fun board discussion and no one needs you.

Because you're a filthy subhuman pedophile who likes moeshit and deserves the tire treatment irl

inaudible moeblob nigger babble

Go back to tranny posting or some shit

people I know that keep up with One Piece

Successful, good looking, chads

People I know that like Naruto

Cringe, smell bad, unsuccessful and gay

FOTM trash like Demon Slayer comes and goes, and when the anime is done milking and the soulless final season drops, it will fade away into obscurity as another one of those forgotten bestsellers. It will never stand next to actual eternal legends like DBZ. Some alien archaeologist can cracksl open an old hard drive, boot up the first episode of DBZ, and before you know it, their entire species is obsessed with Goku. They'd be screaming "KAMEHAMEHA" on their home planets, debating whether Ultra Instinct can beat their warlord's most powerful general, and designing their own scouters to measure power levels.

Meanwhile, no alien is sitting around watching Demon Slayer and crying over the moralfag MC's dead family or listening to some demon's sob story for the billionth time. They're not going to sit through Detective Conan aka Japanese Scooby Doo or Slam Dunk when they could just as easily watch the dominant 90s Chicago Bulls era instead of having to read about some Japanese high school brats loosely based on them.

They'd be watching DBZ because that shit is primal. It's about limitless power, about pushing beyond limits, about screaming until you break the laws of physics. That's the kind of universally appealing insanity that transcends time, language, and even species. If anything survives the collapse of human civilization, it's going to be:

DBZ

Football

Pro wrestling

Pokemon

Mario

Michael Jackson

Jesus

And maybe a couple of fast food mascots because capitalism never dies

Is usogui just too hard to understand for wan peesu fans?

Pissers are notoriously immature and retarded yes

Anyone who has pedoshit moeblob saved on their computer unironically has lost their human rights. Rope fag

What's the matter, can't handle actual good manga?

irrelevant pseud shit

Post something that actually matters to anyone

anything with actual good story and art is for pseuds

good story

Nah

One of, if not the absolute greatest final arcs in manga history

Shouldn't the list than be:
Iconic

Pokémon

Sanrio

Anpanman

Mario

Gundam

Dragon Ball

Less iconic

everything else

yeah
