No. JJBA is under Naruto. This world is still horribly flawed. | |

Because Naruto is still in the top 10 on that list. And above JJBA no less. Nothing is right in the world when Naruto is in a top 10 list of good things. | |

This is a list of best selling things. EVEN THEN! NARUTO SHOULD NOT BE THIS POPULAR. Although I'm surprised to see JJBA even on there. The manga's been done for years now. It had a twenty year run and it's still this popular? DAYUM. | |

BUT THAT ART IS A DEAL BREAKER. Story: - Spoiler:
Baki Hanma, The Son of The World's Strongest Man, Yujiro Hanma. Is challenged by his father to a fight. Baki trains in intense ways to try and reach or surpass his father's strength. Going so far as Kidnapping the president (George W. Bush at the time.) in order to end up in a maximum security prison labeled as the second pentagon. There, He fights the strongest fighter of the prison, Earning back his freedom by defeating said fighter, who in turn granted said freedom. Later, A Caveman (Pickle) is discovered, still alive and well (for some reason which I forget), Sparking the curiosity of all the fighters (Yujiro included). They all gather to where the caveman was kept and more or less check him out (At a military installation, No less.). Yujiro and Pickle have a small contest of strength (Which Yujiro Wins). Stuff happens, A Chinese Fighter (Retsu) challenges Pickle to a fight. The two have an epic battle + Retsu momentarily gives up on his fighting style and opts to fighting like a sissy. Restu then mans up and unlocks his inner strength, Pickle gets serious and goes all Lion Style (Literally, On all fours and everything) on Retsu's ass. Pickle knocks out Retsu and eats his leg before getting knocked out by his caretaker/doctor. Retsu goes to hospital, Pickle breaks out and goes in cognito. And that's as far as it goes so far. I'm still waiting on the other chapters on Onemanga.
Characters: - Spoiler:
Baki Hanma, Protaganist: The Son of Yujiro Hanma, He trains in various ways for his upcoming fight against his father. some of his methods are Shadow Boxing against a Man-Sized Mantis, Fight against Biscuit Oliva, The Strongest of The Maximum Security Prison he is sent to for kidnapping George W. Bush, And others that are yet to be seen or I forgot. Yujiro Hanma, Antagonist: The World's Strongest Man. Near the beginning of the story, He kills a Dinosaur sized Elephant. Later, He is shown swimming in a specially made pool with a current of 22 miles per hour (Which the person running the pool said he was doing for almost two hours.), he then leaps out of the water in a fish-like manner and lands on his feet outside of the pool. Along with other scenes that show the reader just how strong he is (Not to mention fast. , Jesus.) He is shown having a strength contest with a Caveman with considerably greater strength than some of the strong fighters of the story. Which he wins with little effort, But he was caught off guard by said Caveman's "trick". Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Additional Character: A Pirate who is a prisoner at the Maximum Security Prison that Baki goes to. He is labeled as the "Second" strongest fighter of the prison. As such, He is given special priviledges that most prisoners aren't given. It is shown that he runs an island with it's own military, Compossed of soldiers he himself has trained to be better than the modern day soldier. Even so that the only weapon they need is their own hands, Which is usually all they would use. In one scene, An undercover Guevara follower shows a confress (Which The President was present) a live feed of Guevara taking a personal tour of The President's own home, Talking to his family, And then walking passed the unconsious body's of the security that was supposed to be guarding the premisiss (sp?). All while talking about something that I forget about. Biscuit Oliva, Additional Character: The Strongest Fighter of The Maximum Securtiy Prison Baki goes to. As which "Che" Guevara, He has special priviledges that most prisoners don't. But even more so than Guevara as he doesn't have to stay in a cell. Instead, He stays in a luxiorious suite where he is fed whatever he wants, Given whatever he wants, And even dresses however he wants. (As shown by him wearing a tuxedo on his way to his girlfriend, Who also lives in a suite of sorts within the prison). Him and Guevara later have an epic battle in the court yard with both security and prisoners spectating the event. Pickle, Additional Character: A Caveman that is discovered by a scientist/doctor/whatever the guy is that watches him. He is wild (No shit) and unbelievable strong (But still not as strong as Yujiro). In one scene, He is guided through an airport-ish looking place where a female reporter attempts to ask the caveman about his live back in pre-historic times, Pickle then floors the broad and bumps uglies (With security trying to get the caveman off of the helpless reporter, In which they failed miserably.) until he falls asleep. Later, He is greeted by curious fighters who want to see how strong Pickle really is, Yujiro in particular. Yujiro and Pickle compare fists, Then Pickle pushes on Yujiro's fist, Causing Yujiro to push back and force Pickle into a flip, Which caused Pickle to land on his back, Confused as to what happened. Later, He is shown fighting a large Siberian Tiger, Which he kills effortlessly and feasts on it. He then fights Retsu, A Chinese Fighter who outright challenged Pickle (By way of convincing his mentor or whoever he was to allow him to fight. Pickle was being kept in his stadium under the scientist's watchful eye.). The result of said fight was Pickle getting a small bite to eat. There are more characters, But I thought I'd list my favorites.
'Nuff Said.

| People shouldn't listen to the thread starter's claims, as he doesn't understand how it works.
Those numbers are for Japan only, meaning it doesn't cover the rest of the world.
By far, the highest-selling manga of all-time worldwide, is Dragonball. Kochi Kame, One Piece, most of those were never a hit in other areas of the world, however Dragonball is.
Dragonball is closer to 300-700,000,000 worldwide One Piece is around 200,000,000 =/= Naruto worldwide (One Piece hasn't reached fast-growing sales in the U.S. and other parts of the world, like Dragonball and Naruto have)
Those other manga aren't mainstream anywhere outside Asia.
