Dragon Ball is no longer the best selling manga of all time

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 300,000,000 =/= 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.

Who r u.

I like how this guy makes the assumption that anything DBZ that isn't the anime is popular outside of Japan, let alone make a difference that is now over ten million copies.

Sigh, sigh. Worldwide statistics would never lie, if its manga itself was as popular as it was at the time--that it was exceedingly more popular a comicbook than X-Men, and the hottest selling comicbook overall in America some 5 years, as noted by research.

Sure, One Piece made history in Asia. It's now "The Highest-selling Manga of All-time" there, but that doesn't justify the worldwide statistic. Given what statistics have shown during the time manga popularity grew to an all-time high, and the conclusion of Dragonball, I shouldn't go into why Dragonball would be probably far over 250,000,000 in Asia by now had it continued, so let's not touch that aspect of this.

All I'm saying is, don't use terms like that to define something's status, when you know it isn't true. You forgot worldwide statistics, and if you think Dragonball hasn't exceeded----10,000,000 world-wide, and miraculously One Piece has, then I feel sorry for you. Do more research.

who is this guy? nice to meet you anyway, though.

Dragonball is still more popular. One piece will never be what DB was.

In popularity?

Definitely.

Most def, it's settled x100.

Why are you all in so much denial, anyway? Most statistics have shown Dragonball has sold way more than One Piece world-wide. I really don't get it, I guess.

Why are all these white noise posters suddenly showing up here?

Kaio, what's your argument?

I hate one piece.

At least I can admit I'm biased towards this topic.

How can someone possibly hate One Piece?

And like Dragon Ball at the same time, might I add.

Ussop. And every one shoving it down my throat. I used to like it.

But Usopp is the best character.

Yeah, I remember you posting on the non-existent One Piece DS game's board on gfaqs. =P

he has some cool moments
but tahts when he's wearing the mask

aside from that he rarely does enough to make up for how much of a douche he was in the water 7 arc
all the others have just jumped well into action regardlesss of there own safety
i'm never a fan of a guy who has to make a big deal about being scared and overcoming it

When was the last time Usopp cowered before his enemy?

Luffy was a douche too in the Water 7 arc.

was he can't remember that

ussopp cowered in thriller bark not sure about the shabondy archipelago
its not like he's become brave yet though

if anyone gets it hard i think its chopper
chopper constantly goes all out even if he's irritating in general he's great when danger arrives

Usopp didn't cower in TB, aside from the beginning, but Nami and Chopper did it too. When push came to shove, he beat one of Moria's main henchmen and stood against Oars alone when everyone was down for the count minus Nami. He was also an active participant in the Oars battle itself and tried to attack Kuma and protect Zoro.

In Sabaody he fought in the auction hall, was scared when the marines came, but still fought his way out. He then fought against the Kumabot and was the one who carried Zoro away when he couldn't move anymore. Finally instead of running away when Kuma went for him, he attacked him with all he got.

Usopp may not be the bravest of all, but this can mostly be attributed to him being piss weak.

And Luffy was a dick in Water 7 because he was just as irrational as Usopp. Luffy was the one who said Usopp may as well leave the crew after all.

Luffy and Usopp's fight in Water 7 was fucking great. Him klling the bear thing or whatever in Thriller Bark was probably my favourite moment of his.
