Yes because travelling to one island, beating up random bad guys and leaving again is a surefire way to find One Piece.
Finally you said something on-topic and I can comment

You obviously didn't pay attention to the anime. The One Piece is in the last island of the Grand Line, and the Grand Line is a very dangerous place full of... dangerous stuff. The only way to reach the last island is to follow the Log Pose, which points to the next island. Once you reach the next island, you must wait some days until the log pose starts pointing to the next one. When they arrive in an Island, they usually leave their ship to buy food and medications, and most times they end up in a fight against the marine or some crazy guy trying to kill them. One Piece is 100% logical, and that is why it deserves to be part of the big 3.

No, you saw exactly 100 accordingly to your list.

And don't go off-topic please. You attacked One Piece and its position at the big 3. I defended it. Now argue against my points. And I said you didn't pay attention to the anime, not that you didn't watch it.

Also, I just noticed something pretty sad

one piece has the best worldwide sales because of Japan. That doesn't really mean it is the most popular worldwide. In fact it's nowhere close to being the most popular anything outside of Japan.

You basically said they travel to an island,get supplies, beat up some bad guys and leave

at the moment One Piece is at an 8/10 and Fairy Tail is 9/10. maybe this will change

and Lupadim your printscreen proves you have good taste in anime, my friend

one piece is big where manga is popular than anime.

Japan,France,China…

western people tend to less like one piece because it seems fake to them,while Japanese tend to less like naruto because it seems fake to Japanese

Whenever someone questions the term "Big 3", I see shit like:
"These anime/manga sell more (in Japan) why aren't they part of the big 3?" or "This anime is a fighting shounen and it's better than all of them why isn't this part of the big 3?"
So yeah, manga sales in Japan are pretty irrelevant to the term, and I believe quality is as well.

I always thought the "Big" wasn't entirely referring to their popularity, in the west or anywhere else, but much of it also to do with the amount of episodes they have; 300+, which is more than DBZ if you don't include DB & DBGT, which many people didn't watch or simply disregard. Also in the case of DBZ, it had finished long before any of them started.

Oh and if there are any doubts about their popularity outside of Japan then just check the top anime page in terms of popularity and you'll see all of them there, though the op is slightly justified in what he says; One Piece is the least popular according to that.

I'd just like to point out again that One Piece is the most successful manga but isn't a large part of that because of how many volumes it has? I'm pretty sure Dragon Ball was more successful in proportion to how many volumes were released plus considering rise in population and higher worldwide popularity of manga worldwide it seems like One Piece has an advantage that Dragon Ball and Astro boy didn't have. I think Dragon Ball and Astro boy were actually the more popular manga.

Kuroko no Basket and Magi sell nearly 4,000,000 more volumes per year than Naruto each, why aren't they a part of the "Big 3"?

Hell, Attack on Titan tripled Naruto's sales this year, big three anyone?

Actually Magi sold 1,597,068 more volumes than Naruto and KnB sold 3.,207,148 more..

Well considering the term was coined for the top 3 manga in Jump, the big 3 should be One piece, KnB and Naruto.

Japan is by far the biggest market, and One Piece is by far the most popular in this market. So because of that, obvioulsy it's going to be the most popular in the world. Or are you implying that Japanes count less. They have small penis, yes, but that doesn't mean they are lesser humans.

Nowadays, the question is why is Bleach a part of the big 3? Once the anime finished, it dwindled in every way possible.

Anyway, the saying "get them while they are young" also applies. Naruto and Bleach were quite prominent on CN, even though I didn't watch or know what anime was as a kid, I did hear about Naruto and Bleach, but not One Piece.
A lot of people who are the biggest fans (notice I didn't say ALL. No generalizations here), have been so since they were kids, even before they knew what anime was.

Having gotten into anime pretty recently, I have learned to be more wary of people who praise shows because they grew up with them, and more trusting of those who have viewed them recently.

Everything impacts sales, it's useless to mention it. Amount of volumes, when it came out, if it has an anime, how good is the anime, chance, population, what other manga started near it, demographic, characters, the story, what magazine it was in, etc, etc, etc. And there are manga that have over twice the amount of volumes that One Piece doubles or triples their sales.

And I think One Piece in it's prime might sell more than DBZ in it's prime. Of course I can't prove that because you can just talk about world population to try and downsize it.

How can you use proportion with something like that? If it was the case, gz for Death note the best anime ever made

It doesn't, really. You can't compare quality with proportion. How many people would watch OP from episode 1 to 650? If One Piece had only 25 episodes, way more people would watch it.

What kind of logic is that? so other countries don't count? one piece have 270 million in Japan alone, meaning that it didn't even sell more than 30 outside of Japan. How does that make it the most popular when DB and Naruto exist?

Yeah DB was more successful. It's just not as long as one piece. I imagine one piece sales would have been different if DB was running alongside it.

Yet you don't have any proof of that, all we have are the current sales. And Dragonball's current sales are also from when it's been finished, the anime and such didn't get popular in in the west(which is where DB gets almost half it's sales) until the late 90s yes?

Japan is by far the biggest market, and One Piece is by far the most popular in this market. So because of that, obvioulsy it's going to be the most popular in the world. Or are you implying that Japanes count less. They have small penis, yes, but that doesn't mean they are lesser humans.

First of all was the racial joke really necessary? so tasteless and trite.

What kind of logic is that? so other countries don't count? one piece have 270 million in Japan alone, meaning that it didn't even sell more than 30 outside of Japan. How does that make it the most popular when DB and Naruto exist?[/quote

Don't waste your time on him. No matter what u say, it will not connect with this dude. He's blinded by his love for one piece.

The racial joke wasn't necessary, no, but I felt like doing it. Because, who cares about the nationality of the buyers? It's your logic that is flawed. What's the point of being the most succesful if it's in an insignificant market.

Sorry I meant to say I was NOT talking bout quality just success and popularity.
Then you agree with me that One Piece is extremely popular? It is the #1 seller at Japan. It deserves to be at the big 3.
Oh yeah I agree its popular and extremely successful. Easily the biggest manga in Japan at this time. I was simply suggesting that Dragon Ball and Astro boy were perhaps bigger in their time.

Did the Dragon Ball manga actually sell that well in the west? I figured One Piece would have sold much better in the west considering all the One Piece fanatics.
Yes I believe it's only sold about 145 million volumes in Japan and worldwide it's sold 230 million. So a little less than 100 million. One Piece in comparison has sold 50 million outside of Japan and 300 million in Japan. Dragonball has had much more coverage in the west.

You are pissing me off right now. In first place, look at your avatar pic. You probably want to remove OP from the Big 3 and throw HxH inside. And the new big 3 will be Bleach, Fairy Tail and HxH (the three anime that SHOULDN'T BE at the big 3). Pfft, the irony.

As expected, Eiichiro Oda's One Piece took the first place in the manga sales ranking again selling 18,151,599 copies in total. The manga has taken the top spot in 5 years in a row since 2009. It had 300 million copies in print with the 72nd volume which was released in Japan on November 1.

And that is the JAPAN sales. They sold a LOT outside as well, definitely more than 50 millions. Now look at your pesky Bleach sales. Hahah. Look at HxH sales. Oh boy!

You know what I realize. Most people are talking about one piece manga. Why no love for the anime? I know, since it's really not that good outside of Japan.

Ahh did not know that. But again which sold more in proportion to volumes released?

We are going to talk about One Piece's strong point obviously, which is the plot/story and the characters. They are better in the manga (the anime has too much fanservice and stretching). Not a big deal, stop running away from the fact OP > Your favorites and that OP will always be at the big 3

I think cause its harder to measure the success of an anime where with manga you can go by sales of volumes.

We're talking about figures, and I provided lots of them to you, while you provided nothing, so who is blind between the two of us?

Don't worry, this time, you don't have to answer.

Nah, If u look at myanimelist u would know I like one piece. I'm just questioning its popularity outside of Japan, compare to dbz, naruto, and bleach. I wanted to know the reason, since the anime is not all that popular outside of Japan, even the manga as well.

Nowadays, the question is why is Bleach a part of the big 3? Once the anime finished, it dwindled in every way possible.

Actually Bleach has better ratings than Naruto and one piece in Tonami. Make of that what you will.


It's done. Simple as that.
Many people are more willing to watch a series they know is over rather than one that is ongoing with more episodes.

That's something you might want to check when they're both on equal grounds. So both finished and give One Piece an extra 20 years to gain sales or find out their sales from when both were at the same amount of volumes. Right now I believe One Piece might be making more per volume than DB ever did.

I just checked a streaming website here in Brazil. It is not famous, actually most people here use others, but this one has over 300k views for recent OP episodes. If Brazil's streaming has that much popularity for the ANIME, I think you can imagine how popular OP is

Looks like you are trying to change the subject. I was arguing about the popularity, I didn't comment on whether the popularity outside of Japan is important or not, since obviously it's way more significant in Japan.

BlackSabotage said:
Can you link me to where your getting these statistics? Not being a smart ass I actually wanna know.

Well I only have statics that prove Naruto is more popular than one piece from a thread way back. I think Bleach is also more popular than one piece.

Also, the Dragon Ball manga came out years before the One Piece. So while you say it's unfair to compare Dragon Ball to One Piece, because One Piece have more volumes, I can say it's unfair to compare the 42 first volumes of One Piece to the 42 volumes of Dragon Ball, because they weren't released at the same time.
