Bleach is far less popular than HxH. It didn't even sell a million copies per volume in Japan. It was literally axed. And its final volume didn't even crack top 50 (FIFTY) best sold volumes of its year.
Burgerland is the only place in the world where they think Bleach is relevant.

Everyone forgets KnY and JJK exists when there's not an airing anime arc of it to keep it in the collective consciousness.

Berserk mogs most of these for relevance.

>>275266147
>Kimetsu no Yaiba
Recency bias. Single-handedly carried by the anime that's fueled by mass hysteria and FOMO which it lives and dies by. Has no staying power and will just be another one of those forgotten bestsellers 5 years down the line after the final season drops. Death Note alone is far more memorable and iconic being still talked about almost 20 years later.
>Dragon Ball
Yes. Tezuka personally named Toriyama as his successor. Though, it's more known as a video game/toy franchise than for its anime/manga these days among the younger generation.
>Slam Dunk
Yes. Rui Hachimura got into basketball because of Slam Dunk as did many Asian NBA players. It inspired a whole generation and Japan even has a program that offers scholarship to Japanese students study in the US to become a professional basketball player.
>Naruto
The world's most popular kids TV show, dethroning Peppa Pig and the most searched anime of all time according to Google.
>One Piece
Second best selling comic book series in human history and about to become THE best selling comic in human history.
>Attack on titan
Only became popular because it was released in an era when zombie stuff was all the rage plus it had tons of shocking deaths (even though it was mostly just no-name characters, but the average shonenshitter doesn't care about that). Ending was so shit that it got completely memoryholed from the public's consciousness like it never existed.
>Hunter x Hunter
Hiatuses will never let HxH truly reach greatness the same way it won't let ASOIAF won't.
>Detective Conan
It's the Simpsons of Japan. You don’t collect and binge watch Simpsons, you check it out weekly or watch highlight reels. Same with Conan. So yeah.
>YuGiOh
A relic of the past. Barely anyone talks about YGO anymore and the TCGs has been declining for years. No one plays or buys YGO cards anymore except for grown ass men who buy booster sets for investment (worthless), for the same reason they still buy Pokemon cards.
>>
>>275266424
>Naruto is still relevant but YuGiOh isn't
Mega-retard moment.
>>
>>275266328
KnY has the highest sales per volume ratio. Bleach's is really low. Latest JJK volumes are over a million and it hasn't been four weeks yet
>>
>>275266592
And they both have zero staying power. Funny how things plays out and serves to show that just because it sells well in its own little niche, doesn't mean it has stamina.
>>275266586
>>Naruto is still relevant but YuGiOh isn't
Yes. Naruto is far more relevant than YGO ever was, past, present and future.
>>
Anime popular culture is a joke.

>>275266727
>little niche

Japanese kids look up to KnY characters more than their own parents

I don't know what delusional dreamworld you live in but in real life, KnY is nowhere near Bleach in terms of popularity

One Piece is on pace to outsell Dragon Ball by the end of this decade. With the live action series, the card game exploding, and the remake coming, there's no chance Dragon Ball stays ahead of One Piece. The only reason it sells more is because of the video games and toys, and in the toys department, One Piece is also on pace to outsell Dragon Ball. So all it needs is good video games to surpass it.
