The art in One Piece is sub-standard to sewer-tunnel-dwelling denizens, though.

One Piece has a very high change of surpassing dbz in the next years,that's just my personally opinion

Your opinion is invalid.
I am curious where would this one piece be lets say 10 years from now ....Dbz ended in 96 and still the second ..

One piece prime has no chance against dragon ball prime

If I'm not mistaken, One Piece's volume sales have set records to the extent that whenever it set a new record, it broke its own previous record...i.e., OP holds record volume sales, Dragon Ball doesn't.

My opinion is not invalid.right now One piece is first a admit it numbers prove that but DragonBall is second after almost 39 years 27 and something more to be specific and its SECOND lets see if One Piece would be that high on those years at all in the top 3 if it is then I will admit that One Piece>DBZ also the scan is from 2011 and 2012 I was also talking about overall in my post and Passibke getting surpassed ^_^
@Kienzan many people think otherwise

Those are top shounen manga sales of all time, no? That basically means OP has sold far more than Dragon Ball in less time...and DB's franchise has been continuously milked after the manga ended, so it's not like anyone's forgotten about it. What happens after OP ends happens, but as it stands now, One Piece is undeniably the best-selling manga of all time, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

You said One Piece has a chance at passing up Dragon Ball in a few years. This is flat-out incorrect because it has already sold more in its lifetime and it's by far the most popular series in Japan. It's neither a matter of opinion nor something you can debate about, it's already happened.

You mean OP manga sales have surpassed the long history of DragonBalls manga sales already?

Dragon Ball will NEVER surpass One Piece. One Piece has already completely surpassed Dragon Ball and won't be ending anytime soon. It probably still has another ten years to go, and by that point it will have probably at least doubled Dragon Ball. There's no chance in hell that Dragon Ball will ever catch up. There is also no way that Naruto or Bleach will catch up. We probably won't see a manga surpass One Piece for many, many years.

And yes, it is a fact that One Piece sales have surpassed every single Dragon Ball sale in history. :p

Yes it has. It is already the best-selling manga of all time. That chart shows ALL the sales as of early 2012. As it stands, One Piece will only further eclipse Dragon Ball in sales.

And yeah, nothing will touch OP in sales for a long time. Dragon Ball won't ever sell like it did in its prime, Naruto is almost over and hasn't even touched Dragon Ball, and Bleach's Tite Kubo dug himself into an infinitely deep hole. The rest are either over or simply don't sell like One Piece does.

I suppose if you have a passable story and a million volumes, you're bound to surpass something with less than a quarter of that amount. I should've figured! Ugh! So STUPID!
Well the top few selling volumes of all time are One Piece volumes so it's not just down to more volumes. I think volume 62 or something like that anyway was one of them so it's not just volumes that are sold to people trying out the series (like if volume 1 was the highest selling).

I was expecting this topic to be made by Billa was gonna enjoy it

Noddy plz screw ur noggin back on

DB being 10 years old is surely an advantage since that means it's had more time for sales. Unless you argue that DB is disadvantaged since it was released before the internet was widely available....however DBZ has been on TV outside Japan long after the internet and internet shopping became quite common.

LOL (@ wolf's humorous remark)

Volume 61 holds a publishing record or something, followed by a few others in the late 50s and 60.

Dragon Ball is more popular in America than it is in Japan nowadays. Over in Japan, everything is One Piece. You ask a grandma on the side of the road and I bet she could tell you what One Piece is - that's how prevalent and popular it is over there.

I may be exaggerating since I'm not Japanese nor have I been to Japan, but this is what my research and knowledge yields as truth.

An article from like 2011 said that almost 90% of Japan's adult population keeps up with OP or something, more than the teens iirc, so yeah you're not too far off.

They've got like a friggin huge store solely for OP stuff there, I think, it's ridiculous.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I wonder how it would go if both series started now? With the current computer technology to draw manga and current technology for making anime/games.

I think in that scenario it would probably be extremely even up until DB ended.


Most of the fanbase for both OP and DB is just the "YEAH, FIGHTING" kind of fans, DB being a lot more action centric would give it a huge boost in sales.
I mean purely in sales not in the actual quality of the story, not many fans see past "FIGHTING!!"

DB being so over the top in comparison would probably actually have it ahead slightly, planets exploding, Super Saiyan and stuff.
