Oof Lmao. Kimetsu no Yaiba's manga is about to surpass Naruto's total lifetime 250 million sold copies. KnY will for sure surpass Naruto next year, and it might surpass DBZ with the upcoming movie. And there's another movie left after that one lmao.
>>284687213who gives a shit? just because marvel kiddie movies are the highest grossers of all time doesn't mean they're better oldboy. only a person with IQ <65 cares about such irrelevant things that will only make richer people more rich
>>284687213Sales milestones don’t prove artistic or narrative superiority. Kimetsu no Yaiba surpassing Naruto or even Dragon Ball Z only reflects timing, marketing, media synergy, and how modern franchises monetize movies and merch. Popularity is a business metric, not a measure of quality.
I care because I am brown.
>>284687213>Kimetsu no Yaibagarbage>Narutogarbage>DBZgarbage.Who cares? Why do you care?
>>284687643>>DBZ>garbage.>t. IQ <65
>>284687491This is cope, Naruto, DBZ, the big 3, etc. All hailed themselves as the kings of Shonen for their unreachable milestones. And they are now about to lose their crown, and funnily enough Demon Slayer did it with a fraction of the volumes and episodes.
>>284687691Based on what? This dead board?
>>284687213I've seen 250 mlns for Naruto since 2014.Did it really sell 0 copies in 12 years? Something tells me it long time past 300 and no one bothers to update info.
>>284687213
Old news. Post Nezuko
>>284687213Don't care, but Jeremy's gonna freak.
>>284687213Quality over quantity.
>>284687213Well I rather watch KnY given that it's way shorter than those other unc shounen. Not that I'd willingly watch it
>>284687877Naruto did it when the global anime/manga market was maybe 20% the size of the current one.
>>284688162cope more unc
>>284688208Back in Naruto's day for the anime you had fan speedsubs which were crappy quality that'd maybe come out ~3-6 hours after it aired and quality subs a day or two later.Manga was fan scanslated while the official western releases were 2-3 years behind.Anyone who followed the series was already well past the point when the English 'official' volumes were released.Not to mention anime/manga was purely a niche loser thing back then.In the decade or two since, it's all gone professional/mainstream. If Naruto were to release today (with the equivalent fanfare share it had back then) it'd easily be upwards of 1 billion copies sold.
>>284687491Yet shueisha can't achieve this despite anime / manga being at the highest point in history.This is what happens when you allow authors to move the story at the pace they want and end the story when and how they want. Shueisha can't do that.
>>284687691>people >care about cheisoymanBrownoid coomers aren’t people, bud
>>284687213Nobody cares about your subhuman slop other than dumb foids and brownoid zoomers(YOU)
inflation desu
>>284688322>If Naruto were to release today (with the equivalent fanfare share it had back then) it'd easily be upwards of 1 billion copies soldPeople have better taste now and would drop that shit quickly
>>284689071Nah. Naruto up to Orochimaru vs. 3rd is still peak shounen.
>>284689071You are out of your mind if you think that
>>284689109>>284689123Orochimaru is cool. Too bad I wouldn't get to see him because I would drop this shit if not after the pilot, the Konohamaru chapter.
>>284688322>If Naruto were to release today (with the equivalent fanfare share it had back then) it'd easily be upwards of 1 billion copies sold.I don't think so.Nowadays only high voltage sakuga slop like JJK sells.Weekly never-ending slop is no longer a sustainable business model anymore, not even for one piece. Also naruto had almost no competition when it took off. DBZ had long ended and everything else was dead at the time.
>>284689364>not even for one pieceOne Piece killed itself with haki powerlevel bullshit.
>>284689700No? One piece peak sales were during the haki introduction arcs after marineford
>>284690725>Big war>Ace gets killed (introducing the mechanic)>Timeskip>Everyone wanting to see what the new characters were likeYeah, no shit it sold well. It then fell off a cliff.
>>284689364What the fuck are you talking about, retard? There was One Piece there was bleach, there was death note, there was hxh, there was gintama and that's just off the top of my head
>>284687213Good. I will wait for this.
>>284691064Key part "when it took off". Zoomies seem to be to Young to remember Shonen jump nearly died after DBZ ended in the 90s. One piece took way longer than naruto to get popular, specially globally.
>>284687213yet no one talks about demon slayer, and everyone is still talking about naruto and dragon ball. it feels like a psyop
Hi Jeremy.
>>284687213bum ass KNYfag, you're using updated numbers for KNY while Naruto have not been updated for a decade. the last update we got for Naruto was in 2019 where they announced that 250 million copies were sold worldwidelast update we got for DBZ was in 2008 where they announced that 350M copies were sold worldwide, cope and touch grass
>>284691660>the last update we got for Naruto was in 2019 where they announced that 250 million copies were sold worldwideAnd what has changed? Boruto was the only thing that has happened for the series and it's pretty much axed.
>>284689071Tell that to wan piss.
>>284689071Demon slayer is the most mid shit in the world, people have worst taste now.
One Piece will carry the old vanguard. Naruto, Bleach and HxH failed to help secure it
>>284689700One Piece is more popular than it's ever been. It will never be surpassed in sales. At least in your and my life time.
>>284687213i-i-i-its only because the pandemic!
>>284693397Yes
>>284687213Naruto? Not so good
>>284687213Finally an anime overrated enough to surpass Naruto
>Muzan ordered all the demons Japan to gather in the Infinity Castle and gave them enough of his blood to make them Lower Moon-tier in power.>By the time of Kokushibo's death, there are already many rank-and-file demon slayers who arrives at the top where Muzan's cocoon is located.>Even when Muzan slaughtered so many demon slayers, there were still enough of the corps to contribute for the final battle.So basically the Demon Slayer Corps have literally wiped out all the demons besides the Upper Moons so easily?
>>284687213KEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKoh no no no no no nofirst they came for my heroshitnow they're coming for narushithahahahahaalso surpassed dragon balls per volume hahahahahHAAAAj bros...
>>284687491Nice AI post, haha
>>284695964Naruto this year sold around 50m copies, its in the 300m+ range now and has been so for a couple of years now. shueisha just haven't updated its sales since 2019 cope KNYfag lmaoDBZ is prolly around 450m+ by now so it has the highest per volume too
>>284696554lmao u got raped by kinogurabachi sweaty xD
>>284689071the only actually bad part of naruto is the great ninja war. It is peak shonen for most of its runtime
>>284696594kny cleras tho
>>284687877DBZ, Naruto, Bleach and One Piece are considered influential because of their cultural footprint, not because of their global sales. The Cartel in Mexico was in mourning when Toriyama died, people go to protests with One Piece flags and Akatsuki cosplay, Kubo's name is synonym with trolling. Kimetsu no Yaiba has none of this because deep inside nobody cares about it. Is a very simple and generic story that got buffed because of COVID streaming and Ufotable. Aside from that nobody cares about it. Right now /a/ has a thread for every big shonen but has none for Kimetsu no Yaiba.
>>284689071Same thread about Kimetsu btw
>>284687213yet no one talks about kny, while naruto is still talked about nowadaysit shows that millenials were actually passionate about the things they liked, while zoomers mindlessly consoom product and then quickly move on to another product
>>284687213>Oof Lmao. [saleslop]Yeah, kys
>>284701431Go to Tiktok and it's the total opposite. KnY vids with millions of views everyday, while Naruto is barely talked about.
>>284687491Yes, KnY still mogs though
>>284703455even on tiktok naruto is the king nobody cares about KNY cause it left no impact lmao
>>284687213I mean no shit. Naruto was fucking ass after the pain arc. And then aliens. FUCKING ALIENS
>>284692069Mid is still better than the garbage that Naruto is.
>>284687213Sex with Mitsuri
>>284697421It's mind-blowing and at the same time really fascinating that for something that makes shit tons of cash can also have absolutely no cultural footprint, it's just like Avatar. KnY will hardly be the first option chosen for best of anything. If you ask a battle shounen nerd:>Best fights?JJK, Naruto and DB are the first that comes to mind. KnY fights are well animated, but they're not really good fights.>Best MC?Luffy, Yusuke, Kenshin, Gon and Goku comes ro mind first. Tanjiro is too boring.>Power system?Nen, Chakra, Devil Fruit, Cursed Energy and Stands comes to mind first. KnY's breathing system is just traced from Hamon which was just traced from Hokuto Shinken.>Best teams?Straw Hat Pirates felt like an ensemble of living, breathing characters. KnY characters aren't characters, they're just tools who orbits around the MC.>Best villains?Aizen, Makima, Madara, Meruem, Frieza, Shishio and Toguro. Demons are the highlight of KnY, but the demons just feels like a retread of character archetypes done before.>Best arcs?Shibuya, Chuunin Exams, Pain Invasion, Enies Lobby, Soul Society, Namek, Chimera Ant, Dark Tournament, Kyoto. Chances are the best story arcs of KnY doesn't cross the battle shounen fan's head.>Best plot?HxH, FMA and One Piece comes to mind. A lot of KnY doesn't hold up under scrutiny and there are several plot elements that just haven't aged well. Can't say I blame the author because they were on a weekly schedule.>Best girls/porn?Bleach, My Hero Academia, One Piece and Naruto all beats it. KnY's artstyle is just too jarring to work for porn which is why it has zero good porn and the girls don't really have anything going to them. The girls are bland and boring. It's very telling that CSM thrives in porn and not this franchise.This series should be studied regarding mass hysteria and how something can be commercially successful and also empty in impact.
>>284706711KnY definitly has better action, they're very intense, they're long and feature a lot of choreography, meanwhile the first half of Naruto fights are very static and the animation only picks up in the second half already in part 2.Luffy is also a terrible MCChakra is just like mana in a video game, curse techniques are way better for example and the work around to why powers are explained was actually cleverMadara is also a joke and Pain Invasion is awful. And Naruto and One Piece have awful girls, at least the official art.
