I guess it's as popular as game of thrones on the web, but with more merch

Or think of how popular Dbz was when it was fresh and new.

No. You are talking about the manga.

Edit: Others seem to have corrected you.

Dragon ball is bigger on a cultural level if I'm not mistaken.

It has historical significance on anime culture just like Gundam,Sailor moon, and is influential. One Piece doesn't have that.

Breaking Bad isnt that big in America. At least not compared to shit like Walking Dead or American Idol.

American Idol is still a thing?

Um... The Walking Dead is still airing--which could be a reason, but Breaking Bad's 4th and 5th season broke records for viewership and intake.

American Idol isn't really popular for shit anymore... The original judges quit and what-not.

It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

Are you sure? I heard that any regular episode of this reality show had more TV ratings, than the finale of Breaking Bad.

I hear this is insightful.

Arguably the most popular anime there iirc

I guess it's what I get when a Japanese friend tells me it's probably the most significant one out there right now.

In only ten years (1986-1996) I count 63 video game titles.I may need to recount. http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Dragon_Ball_video_games One Piece so far seems to only have like 50 something games in total. http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Video_Games I think you are under the impression that since the Dragon Ball series has already ended that One Piece will overtake it in video game sales. That is not so at all, Namco Bandai doesn't care how long ago DBZ ended they still frequently make DBZ games. Since Kai has came out their are games with that title as well .

Really? It's been Jump's cover 1/25 times this year excluding group shots.

And I don't have a dog in this fight. DB from my childhood/child years and OP was my teen years. I was 14 when One Piece began airing on TV

Group shots are the main thing

@FGAU1912 Bandai Namco doesn't care that the Dragon Ball series has ended since the 90's they still continue to make DBZ games so it will be hard for One Piece to overtake it in videogames.

One Piece games are not popular in the west. Unlike DBZ and Naruto games. And like DrGero said, DBZ games will continue be made, OP has no chance of catching up in that department.

Group shots are the main thing

Well of course One Piece will usually take center stage on the group shots. That still doesn't make for nearly 99% of the time, One Piece has had the biggest picture by a slight margin 3/6 times and has taken center stage 1/6 times in this year's group shots.

It goes without saying that One Piece is the biggest Manga, but even exaggerating a 99% lead over the rest is a bit unsightly.
