| one piece surpassed dragonball but do you guys think that in the next 50 years there will be a manga that will surpass one piece in terms of manga sales? is it theoryticaly possible or not? total and invidual volume sales |
 |
| Yeah probably. There is also the possibility of one piece losing it's success albeit unlikely. It's yearly volume sales rank number one but they are inconsistent in number of volumes sold. There are significant drops and rises between almost each year. For the sake of the manga industry, I hope so. |
 |
| No one stay at the top forever |
 |
| probably in more then 100 years, it's gonna take a while for somebody to pull off what oda has been able to do |
| The lowest price of a One Piece volume is 410 yen (about US$5.10, tax included). As of February of 2012, the volumes of One Piece have brought in at least 112,126,800,000 yen (US$1,404,220,000) in revenue. ^quoted from some website its probly true though anyway nearly 300m sales and dbz is next with half that and everyone in the world has seen dbz one piece is king |

| Why do you think I was born ? |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| yes, but probably not by any manga that currently exists. |
 |
| Sure, nothing is forever, except dead |
 |
| Well, it's vastly popular, and from my memory, I remember reading in a different forums about claims on Oda already planning out the ending. Despite the fact that this is still currently half or even less content released. |
| This is funny. One Piece doesn't sell as much as Dragon Ball when it reached vol.42? LOL. How long has it been since Dragon Ball ended again? Almost 2 decades ago while One Piece's vol.42 is like only 8 years ago. It's not even at the peak of the story yet. People really are funny. |

On topic, well it's hard to say, because a lot of authors get really lazy recently, and just stick with typical harem rom com shizz and never really aim to be big, but well, with enough luck it might be possible, but chances are nearly zero.

Wrong, it's because you can't insult people by calling them or implying that they're ret'ard without proving yourself to be better by writing one yourself. Keeping up with the quality of the art, trying to write better story, pressure of deadlines, and expectation of fans, and so on, and even so, writing continuously for 14 years without much breaks. |

If you read more manga you will know that a lot of them don't even have the "goal", especially a lot of rom com, they won't end until it's doing badly or get cancelled. |

CeeTwo said: This fanbase needs intervention... Always trying to talk shit about OP fanbase. Why not talk about the haters? They're more fun to be talking about. I don't know how well DB or OP did in the total sales worldwide, I tried to search for them online, but they are all old news, and I am not even sure if they're reliable, but simply put, DB has better success internationally, and One Piece is doing much better in Japan. Heck, even Naruto has better success internationally. |

-Zeaos said: Yes by attack on titan even though I hate it because it's too popular. One Piece still have 10 years to go, and Shingeki no Kyojin is supposed to be short according to the mangaka, Isayama. Shingeki no Kyojin has to beat One Piece in the per volume sales first before trying to beat it's total sales. |

| There's always a probability but I personally don't want it. And while I'm at it, as a writer, it's really pissed me off to know someone out there underestimating storytelling. What? You can get a good story with just that? And don't tell me to get an idea of a satisfying ending, all you need to do is just taking a bath or something? Wow great! I wonder why there are so much author failing to do something simple as having breakfast while thinking towards the ending. Really, CeeTwo, I know that this series sucks for you, I pity you for that. But to write something as insulting as that, clearly shows that you don't have general idea about what you wrote huh? |

Yagami22 said: Hmm, that's an odd site. From what I've found by Nov 2013, One Piece had already sold 345 million volumes. That's like 80 million more than what was sold a couple of months earlier. Also the site you linked(that said One Piece has 270 million and Dragonball 230 million)'s source is a page(that I don't know how well supported it is) but it says that Dragonball has sold 350 million volumes which is more than One Piece's 270 million.IntroverTurtle said: I'd like to see where it says that or at least where he got Dragonball's number from. I found the sales on this site: http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/02/26/the-best-of-the-best-of-manga-shonen-jumps-20-best-sellers-of-all-time/ This article is from Feb 26,2013. I'll also support Date's post that it isn't because of how many volumes it has. There are manga that have been published since the 60s that are still going, and even other shounens that are way longer yet One Piece outsells. I'll also say that Dragonball has had 13 more years than One Piece to gain sold volumes. Edit: That one source site said that it updated Jan 9, 2014. Which doesn't make sense as it's already said that One Piece sold over 300 million months ago, it was quite big news, even had a page in the New York Times. |

| No, that explanation seems sufficient. Though the whole discussion on this thread is not just the actual sales of those two manga. |
