What was Saito thinking

our

violet evergarden won

samuRAT will DIE in 48 hours

I rabu Iori

Ruri movie by Pixar when
oh wait...

>>280381775
SamuGOD will DIE fighting El Hermano in like twelve chapters.

Uh oh. This looks like a bad omen.
I know most people on /a/ don’t put stock in superstitions, but I don’t know…
Watching that stray cat casually take a dump on the pile of Deku merch at the Jump Festa booth and then apathetically walk away disgusted is… interesting, to say the least.

It’s almost as if God Himself was repulsed and infuriated by this travesty (which makes sense, since Deku is basically the reddit Jesus of capeshit shonen), so He sent a sign of His divine disapproval via nature.

This doesn’t bode well for HeroAca’s next season. Personally, it doesn’t matter, because I already resolved not to support this overhyped corpse on principle.
I don’t even consider myself a colossal Kagurabachi fanboy, but you can easily tell Chihiro’s mangaka actually gives a damn about telling a raw, unfiltered story, forging his own legend instead of milking tired tropes until the ink runs dry.

I’m standing with the Kagurabachi enjoyers and refusing to hand Horikoshi’s committee-driven, merch-chasing zombie any more of my attention.
It’s painfully obvious HeroAca’s editors don’t respect shonen or its spirit anymore unless they can water it down for Funko sales, ship wars, and endless spin-offs.

Stay mad, Dekucucks. The blade never lies.

Cosmetic Brand "Himariz"

An energetic high school girl president

With 80,000 followers

I'm the charismatic model Yoshino Himari

But I can't cook

I can't do laundry

I can't clean the dishes

And I can't even use the copy machine.....

I totally suck at housework

My company hired a personal housemaid for me

A GUY FROM MY CLASS?!

IEMORI TENICHI?!

I CAN'T LET THE ENTIRE SCHOOL KNOW ABOUT THIS

It's a secret between us

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!

Good Morning Iemori

My high school life is over

I'm so lame

That's right, you baka

Himariz? That's my cosmetic

I look up to my housekeeper

From now on, please protect my home, okay?

My housekeeper <3

>woj*ck posting
This general keeps getting worse

Why does the Kaedegami author skip full fight scenes and only show the final strike? Is it a deliberate choice to avoid detailed battles? Are they hoping an anime adaptation will flesh out the action? That’d be a pretty bold move if true.

Honestly it'd be kino if Hideki Taniuchi worked on Kagurabachi (or anything at all) but he's never ever getting a position again in anything because he got caught with a pinch of weed and got ruined. Elevens are so fucking retarded.
>He was found with 1.5 grams
Two joints is more frowned upon than fucking CP possession.

Guys, word on the street is that nos tudio wants kagurabachi because it alludes to japanese warcrimes and the government is blocking it. They're already mad that it was trashing the yakuza

Didn't happen, only thing that changed is that there are less janitors (mods that retired, if any, were replaced with elder jannies).

>>280390773
currently the volumes sell 13k

He wasnt a big name back then and the average art of jump is worse nowadays

Cant wait for 'remy melty when kekrikoshi gets the AXE under 48 chaps

>his random art gets 300k likes on x every time
Bigger cult following than Nishi, it's impossible for his new series to fail even if it's bad

>>280391010
we already had multiple great artists axed
there's that girl with tree or whatever

hori can't write for shit, got lucked with capeshit hype

>>280391024
thatd be Gege idol series

Hori will 100% get axed or be like UU tier

>>280391053

>>280391072
>>280391073
What are these copes even? They're completely unrelated to the point. He still has more motion on social media than any of them and that'll easily carry his next series even if it doesn't reach MHA heights.

>b-but the likes on twitter

>>280391088

Jeremy is working overtime today

>>280391088
If social media "motion" mattered Nue would've been at least a 75k seller like Ichi because it's beating anyone not named KGB or OP over there
There's no guarantee until the manga drops and people read it. Get his dick out of your mouth.

I really wanna know what Kumeyuri's third ability is

>>280391104
J+ views were debunked by Ichinose, you remember Ichinose clearing Ruri's 1m+ views within a day right? Ichinose went on to sell less than half of what Ruri did.
Sales obviously don't mean anything since TR fujos and Narutofags did not come back for the author's next series.
M+ views don't mean anything either unless you believe foreigners were solely responsible for making KGB a success.
Likes on twitter are ultimately the best indicator because cult-like following can guarantee the author's next series doesn't fail, even if it's far inferior like Ichi compared to Iruma.

>>280391138
At least try to make it sound believable

>>280381941
so if volume 8 sells 155800 for example the graph still goes up. that's a retarded graphic, it would shows increase instead of decline
why did you pick that metric when sales paints a better picture?

>>280391051
Hori art is shit though

>>280391143
What part isn't believable? You probably missed this but Nishi's announcement of Ichi got 80k likes on twitter. Her following was ready from day 1 to support her new manga in WSJ. It didn't matter how dogshit Ichi was or continues to be, its success was set in stone because again, that cult-like following matters more than anything. Veterans who don't have that consistently fail.

Scouring, found some cool Nip Kagurabachi theories (keep in mind not all of these are actually serious)
>One theory is that the loli contractor got married and retired from swordsmanship, but lost her family in the war and returned to swordsmanship. Another theory is that she used magic to restore her body to the shape she had in her prime, which is why she became a loli.

>The mark of the Hishaku represents the number "8," and their goal is to eventually produce the eighth enchanted sword.

>America is already dead

>The origin of the word "Yura" is "Furube Yurayura" and it is the surviving people of the small country. The purpose is to revive everyone in the small country using the Shinuchi. The Shinuchi are equivalent to the three sacred treasures.

>The theory that Yura is a puppet and the real leader of Bisho is Uncle Matsu

>Shiba-san has a split personality, and his other personality is a traitor. When he's his other personality, he likes patterned shirts.

>The theory that Kensei is Hiyuki's father. The idea that individuals shouldn't have great power makes sense if her father is Kensei.

>There is a theory that Hiruhiko is an abandoned child of the royal family. His original source is Hiruko. If that's the case, then Zamura might also be an illegitimate child of someone based on his original source.

Nah. The theory that the mark represents corruption or rejection of Buddhism works better.
>Hishaku means ladle.
>Ladle is used to wash hands (and then mouth) before praying at the shrine in the Buddhist temples.
>By washing hands you are cleansing them.
>First you wash left hand, then right hand. Order is important. Left hand is considered to be the sacred one in Japan.
>By putting the mark on right or left hand Hishaku sort of reject or deny cleansing ritual.
>All Hishaku besides Hatshaku so far have right hands marked. Only Hatshaku has the left one.
>When Hatshaku appeared at the temple before Samura we have seen the tree covering Buddha statue. And Hatshaku saying "Oops, talking about bad karma".

I think with Hishaku Hokazono wants to depict the conflict between Buddhism (that came after Shintoism) and Shintoism, which was in Japan first.
Sort of religious New vs Old. New (Buddhism) is bad, old (Shintoism) is good.
Also Hatshaku is probably actually the leader of Hishaku, in a sense that he is not the one who calls the shots (that's on Yura), but the one who gives the organization purpose and means to exist. It also aligns well with his mentor attitude either through "School them properly", or through him being sort of senior companion to Yura.

kek, it does look like that

>>280392245

Best seller series in Digital, Sakamoto days is the only current WSJ series aside from OP that ranked.

You know why it's the second in command in Jump, it sell a lot digitally

>>280392767
>only in one service
>and jobbed to every series that aired alongside it
Check back again if it's actually there the next half year.

>>280392767
It says series for Booklive and K.Manga
Not a single Sakamoto volume made top 20 digital sales

>>280392084
JJK with 0 lore and world building. no wonder its forgotten so fast. no depth

>>280392461
stop making this a general, schizo

>>280392799
Actually two, check again
>>280392800
Point still stand, there is no series aside from SD, not even BB which had the anime boost.
SD sell a ton digitally, it's now proven

>>280392767
>It didn't flopped
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>280392834
>Point still stand
It doesn't at all, Sakamoto just has backlog which will dry up once the anime is done airing
The new volumes don't perform well in digital thus they don't rank in top 20 individually

Mods, please autosage /WSJ/ threads outside of thurs/sun
I know you can do it prillya and strike witches threads

>>280392862
>It doesn't at all
It does, no series in wsj ranked at all, only wsj, thus just show it's above the rest digitally

Nope, there isn't a single Sakamoto volume that was able to place individually in top 20

>>280392767

Still moggin' WSJ huh

>>280392913
And the series ranked globally in the top 10 digitally while no wsj series did, so yup.

>>280392767
>Kagurabachi nowhere to be found
W-what about our narrative guys..?

>>280392958
Doesn't matter, no volume in the top 20 means it isn't actually doing well in digital
Fucking SxF (700k seller) is losing to multiple random isekai for the entire mid-year which tells you digital sales is laughably low

Talking about Sakamoto, the part 2 honestly look really good

>>280393086
It still doesn't look good ESL.

>>280393044
>Doesn't matter
It actually does, since not even the top WSJ seller are there, only sakamoto, basically just show that it mog the current magazine digital wise

>>280392767
JJK ranked 1st in almost all digital sites for 3 straight years
its circulation was still at least 80% physical (70% was sold by oricon, and 10% is probably printed) only 20% was digital

>>280393103
Why are you crying?

>>280393086
We are back

>>280393109
So when it loses in individual volumes to kagurabachi and blue box on the same release month in digital what's the cope?

>>280393109
Yeah no
If SxF is getting mogged, you know everything below it is negligible in digital sales
Sakamoto has until its anime ends then it gets booted off the no. 2 spot

>>280392767
Ojisantachi, Medlist ranked

>>280392767
Medalist mogged sakamoto so hard it's not even funny.

>>280393163
Or just everything above sell better.

everytime i watch mha I self insert as bakgou and imagine myself fucking ochaco

>>280392767
>SD does better than BB and Kgb in digital
I told you huh
Also, it's no.2 due to digital plus merch

considering the popularity of snk,kny,jjk,csm
was it retarded of the editors to push against any deaths in the big 3 back then?

>>280393265
So you want to use the period where it had its anime backlog boost to argue that it does.
Amazing.

>>280380894
>Show me where it is the number 1 movie in Japan.
Nah, I don't have to show you anything because I never said Frozen had to be #1 to prove anything. What matters is that Frozen 2 made ¥13.5B in Japan in a normal, competitive market, without a Covid vacuum. That's more than One Piece Film: Red. More than Jujutsu Kaisen 0. More than Suzume. And nearly 3x what Swordsmith Village did globally.

You're now moving the goalpost from "C-Covid boost isn't real!!" to "W-Well Frozen wasn't #1 that year!" Bro, that's not the point. Frozen 2 didn't need a freak box office environment to clean up.
>A massive franchise all the same. Didnt get the covid boost.
Exactly. Because it didn't release at the perfect storm moment like Mugen Train did. That's my point. Star Wars dropped in Japan when competition existed, when movie schedules were full, and when audiences were split across genres. Mugen Train? Dropped in a cultural vacuum. No Marvel, no DC, no Pixar, no blockbusters, nothing. It was the entire market. You're helping prove the core thesis: Mugen Train was an anomaly made possible by external factors. Not something the next movie can replicate in a crowded year like 2025.
>Doraemon didn't get the Covid boost
You mean the Doraemon movie that was literally delayed to 2021 because of Covid, released when audiences were still skittish and theaters had strict seating caps? Yeah, no shit it didn't get a "Covid boost." Mugen Train timed it perfectly right after restrictions eased but before any Hollywood tentpoles returned. That's why it exploded. Nobody else managed that window.

>>280393288
>was it retarded of the editors to push against any deaths in the big 3 back then?
Naruto still have confirmed deaths regardless how you feel about Edo Tensei

One Piece just went full retard with the extremely low death count (Kaido should at least killed 10 of them)

>>280393333
>how you feel about Edo Tensei
Retarded asspull that invalidated a whole arc?

>>280393333
Naruto has the most but IIRC kishi wanted to kill more but stopped
OP has the least probably followed by bleach
kubo was stopped multiple times by his editors too, while oda probably doesn't like death because he's a greedy jew who thinks it'd harm the merch

>>280393296
>Just wanted to throw in two anime movies for comparison since Demon Slayer is an anime movie.
Bad comparison. You’re picking critically acclaimed or niche anime films, neither of which were even aiming for blockbuster status. One was an arthouse drama by KyoAni (Violet Evergarden), the other a franchise that nuked itself with a garbage season (The Promised Neverland). You're trying to frame Mugen Train as "standard anime success" when it was a complete freak case, and those two movies are absolutely irrelevant to that point.
>Oscars arent relevant to the convo.
Says the guy who's trying to argue box office patterns using Birds of Prey. You brought up Parasite and I showed you that its success came from critical buzz and awards traction, not pandemic timing. That's relevant because Infinity Castle has none of that.
>Are you seriously going to sit there and act like Pokemon isnt a massive franchise?
It is massive, no doubt about that. And guess what? Its movies still underperform in theaters. Why? Because longevity doesn't guarantee turnout. People don't show up in droves just because your IP is famous. See: Transformers, The Flash, Fantastic Beasts (with Harry Potter clout). This kills your argument that "Demon Slayer is huge so it'll win." Pokemon is bigger. Doraemon is older. Star Wars is more global. They all struggle when the conditions aren't perfect. So why are you pretending Demon Slayer is somehow immune?
>It bombed because it sucks.
Exactly. And Infinity Castle might suffer for the same reason if the content isn't strong and the conditions aren't in its favor. It doesn't matter how famous the franchise is. You're finally catching on to the point: content + context = box office.
(2/2)

Why does pokemon and kimetsu always invite seethe from its inferiors?

>>280393352
>because he's a greedy jew who thinks it'd harm the merch
Most of the new characters he made are non marketable.
Like would anyone miss the scabbards if they died? Kinemon and Momonosuke have been with the straw hat crew for years and yet they're still vastly unpopular

>>280393380
Yeah it's not even the strawhats, he's afraid to kill even the most irrelevant characters

>>280393365
Not at all. Pokemon rightfully invites seethe because GameFreak hasn't made a single good game since Gen 5 (B2W2 is the last truly good Pokemon game) and it's literally one of the biggest IPs in the world, it makes more money than Star Wars, etc.

Demon Slayer isn't anywhere near on Pokemon's level, not even a quarter of its full power back when Pokemania ruled the world. It's a niche IP in comparison that had its time under the sun for a year with a very loud and deluded fanbase and an equally deluded distributor (Sony/Aniplex) who are coasting off of a freak accident 5 years ago.

>>280393352
The problem with Oda is that he also refuses to kill even the most pointless of characters.
Whether they are popular or unpopular

He refuses.

>>280393420
Pokemon mogged MHA and the big 3 combined
Kimetsu also did the same

You're irrelevant, Cope and SEETHE. Pokemon chads won, Kimetsu chads won. KEKARO

>rightfully- proceeds to seethe

>>280393420
>who are coasting off of a freak accident 5 years ago.
Meanwhile, it still has perfectly good ratings, far better than anything in its block and basically losing only to fucking sazae and airing a recap+an episode on cinemas nets them enough funding for several seasons.
I hope you keep seething about it, forever.

>>280393469
It even beats sazae in DVR (since nobody records sazae) itls iterally the most watched anime with 14-24 million views. as well as tops streaming charts. No anime hits that on TV let alone streaming charts.

And he's been seething at it for an entire week 12 hours a day, yet somehow its forgotten and not talked about kek.

And then, all of a sudden, everything about Sakamoto and the shitposting against every other series just vanished in thin air.
CURIOUS

I'll also add that you keep naming big franchises that underperformed, as if that debunks the Covid boost. But what it actually proves is that even massive IPs will underperform when timing, competition, and structure work against them.

The only reason Mugen Train broke ¥40B is because everything else got cleared out of its way. No competition. No big releases. Theaters needed something to fill space, and families went to rewatch it again and again because there was literally nothing else and they got stimulus money from the government.

Infinity Castle isn't walking into that luxury. It's walking into:
>Superman (Week 1)
>Fantastic Four (Week 2)
>Jurassic World (Week 4)
>Plus, the Japanese economy is trash (worse than Greece)
>Plus, Aniplex has burned out casuals with yearly overexposure
>Plus, 2h35m runtime killing repeat showings and cinemas absolutely hate long movies
So yeah, it's gonna make way less. And all the weeb cope in the world won’t change that. And Japan isn't going to play favorites with Demon Slayer either, it's all business and they're not gonna give some non-finale anime movie the red carpet treatment over Hollywood blockbusters. In fact, Superman gets MORE IMAX screenings than Demon Slayer in its own home turf. It gets 1,650 screens while Demon Slayer only gets 59 IMAX and 370 regular which is... 452 in total, lmao.

>>280393528
Can you explain how pokemon mindraped you and your big 3 slop and mha combined?

What is this new trend of comparing Anime movie sales......to fucking western movies?

MHAfag still mindbroken how his favorite series didn't go super big even though it's already big

>>280393542
kny is making so much money he can only compare it to western billion dollar movies

You want him to compare it to mha? even a fucking recap made more. he'd be embarssed from day 1 revenue alone.

>>280393131
Why did you beg me to fuck your waifu while you watch? Are you a cuck?

>>280393542
In his mind, back when 6 years ago people proclaimed it as a huge hit, it then became possible to compare it EXCLUSIVELY to western blockbusters.

>>280393568
he's a nuebro

>>280393528
>452 in total, lmao.
I mean, even if you joke it's still its widest release.

>>280393542

>>280393561
No way this is real lmao

>>280393593
MHA's do meh compared to a fucking recap movie with an episode stittched at the end that are kimetsu's movies nowadays.
And he somehow believes a LA will do well.

>>280393593
You know, he should be glad he didn't have to wait for a fucking eternity for a series' final arc.

>>280393581
you meant nuerat

>>280393623
that's a pleonasm

So the reason Saito keeps approving shitty series is because no one wants to publish in WSJ when J+ exists right?
I dunno, before Saito the magazine was very axe happy, but I don't think the amount of bad manga that deserved the axe was this big.

>>280393639
fair enough

>>280393641
Considering the amount of trash with zero planning that makes it to jump+, I doubt it.
They haven't had a hit in forever too.

>>280393609
no, the LA performing well isn't the cope (although he thinks that since the minecraft movie by the same company performed well that means a mha la will similarly perform well), the cope is that a hollywood LA is a status symbol. he sees it as prestigious that americans want to rape his favorite franchise.
literally begging for american cock to fuck his waifu.

>>280393641
To be honest the Jump brand usefulness is lessened every day. As long as you get a good manga it can blow up hard on its own easier now.
Jump benefits are overshilling and making sure it gets good anime

>>280393661
I find it funny THIS is a status symbol according to him.
>made 1/10 of mugen train btw

>>280393661
Which is funny since minecraft movie was mostly hyped by one meme scene AND the game is one of the most popular games of all times with 350 million sold. For reference if this was MHA sales average it'd have 14.7 billion copies in circulation.
But it doesn't even have over 2 million lmao.

>>280393469

LMAO. Your dumbass is over here bragging about TV ratings like it's 2006. Reminder: TV viewership =/= box office sales. Fuji TV reruns pulling decent ratings means jackshit when Aniplex has to shove 2.5-hour bloated arcs into cinemas to squeeze revenue out of a dead manga.

Also, thanks for confirming that Aniplex is milking y'all like cows at a dairy farm. That's not success, that's exploitation. And judging by how Swordsmith Village flopped globally, they're gonna need all the help they can get, lmao.
>m-most watched anime on TV!!
Yeah, because the competition is weak as hell. You're bragging that Demon Slayer is outdrawing Sazae-san reruns and Detective Conan, which literally air during dinner in every Japanese household. Congrats, king of the nursing home time slot, lol. And if Demon Slayer was really the box office god you believe it is, it wouldn't need an entire year of marketing, special screenings, fake finales, recap gimmicks, and a September international rollout to prop up Part 1 of a trilogy. People watched it on TV because it was free. People streamed it because they already have subscriptions. Paying ¥1800+ for a 155-minute mid-arc theatrical episode? That's a harder sell, especially in an economy where the PM says the country's worse off than Greece.

DVR stats don't sell popcorn. And streaming views don't buy IMAX screens. Theaters only care about one thing: asses in seats, showings per day, and per-screen revenue. Infinity Castle has a long runtime, stiff competition, no finale hype, and a tired brand. Cope all you want with your Nielsen spreadsheets, this thing ain’t touching Mugen Train's numbers, and deep down, you know I'm right.

'Widest release' means jack unless you understand what that actually translates to. Yes, 452 theaters sounds impressive until you realize *it's split between regular and IMAX*. It includes countryside and low-traffic zones where ticket sales are marginal. Theaters aren't infinite, they’re giving time slots, not lifetime achievement awards.

You can shove a movie into every screen from Tokyo to some rice field in Tottori, but if your film is 2h35m long and competing with Superman, Fantastic Four, and Jurassic World within the same 3-week window, all you’re doing is cannibalizing your own traffic. Widest release = distribution potential. That's not a flex, it's the starting line. Box office dominance is about screens with high turnover urban markets with repeat traffic family-friendly time slots retention in theaters beyond Week 2.

Swordsmith Village also had a wide release. Nobody remembers it. Wanna know why? It got slaughtered by better-paced films with tighter runtimes and stronger rewatch culture. You people brag like Sony is blessing Japan by carpet-bombing rural cinemas with sakuga slideshow episodes. Meanwhile, Hollywood is pulling up with tighter runtimes, shorter films, bigger brand power, and better IMAX traction.

Keep pretending theater count = box office win. The Flash opened in over 4,000 theaters. It bombed. Morbius went wide. It got laughed out of cinemas. Distribution is the ammo. Execution is the kill and this 155-minute mid-arc slog has no clean shot.

>>280393786
>Wanna know why?
Because it's not a movie? People know what they are going to watch is just like three episodes sticthed together.

LMAOOOO. You really thought that was a flex, didn't you? You just exposed Demon Slayer harder than I ever could.
>MHA: You're Next
A filler movie. No canon weight. No finale hype. Dropped in August, in the middle of box office hell competing with:
>Deadpool & Wolverine
>Inside Out 2
>Despicable Me 4
>Bad Boys: Ride or Die
And it still made more internationally than Demon Slayer's recap movie (To the Hashira Training), which:
>had the full marketing push from Aniplex/Sony
>dropped in February aka dump month where nothing big releases
>was branded as "new content" to milk hype
>had a 1.5-hour runtime (actually theater-friendly)
>had no real competition and still flopped internationally
Meanwhile, MHA was in the bloodbath month of summer, got fewer screens, and still pulled $27M+ international. Demon Slayer? $26M. Demon Slayer couldn't even beat a MHA filler movie, not even with all the advantages it got and you're bragging about a recap movie getting mopped by filler? Embarrassing.

>>280393937
>A recap movie beating mha movie is bad because......western movies
>also mha flopped because all of those western movies but its okay!
lmao
a fucking RECAP mogged mha lil bro

>>280392141
Tbh you can spot this kind of behavior in any fandom, when autistic enough.

>>280393937
You mean to say it made LESS money than a fucking recap movie that cost nothing because it's airing on tv and getting paid just by the ads that run during it, yes.

Post gay sex

>>280393945
>>280393952
You're seriously bragging that a recap movie barely scraped past a filler movie that had zero canon relevance and dropped in the most competitive box office window of the year? lmao.

MHA: filler, mid-summer bloodbath, limited promo, fewer screens, still made $27M international
Hashira Training: recap, no new canon, zero competition, wide release, full Aniplex push, still couldn't clear $27M international in a dump month

You keep acting like it dominated when the margin is literally $1M, and it had every advantage possible. That's not a flex, that's called getting carried and still barely crossing the line. Imagine getting an entire marketing engine behind you, releasing in a dead month, and you still can't convincingly outperform a franchise that didn't even try. Embarrassing.

And lol @ you talking about TV ad revenue like that's supposed to be a win. Guess what, lil bro? Movies aren't judged by "how cheap they were to produce." They're judged by how much they make relative to their reach and hype. And your "recap king" got cooked internationally. You're out here dunking on a filler movie because it's the only W you can find. Meanwhile, the real box office monsters lile Mario, Sonic, Frozen, Top Gun and Jurassic are all outgrossing your IP without needing a recap, rerun, or 2-hour Naruo-tier therapy flashback to do it.

>>280393937
>Meanwhile, MHA was in the bloodbath month of summer, got fewer screens, and still pulled $27M+ international. Demon Slayer? $26M.

how does it feel to cope and be wrong? Boxofficemojo numbers are outdated compared to the numbers site. see >>280394047


Fix your cope FAST, and delete your shameful posts.

>>280394047
Damn if a kny recap movie is making 32m. Then this movie will make 60-100m ez.

>>280394047
MHA? LOST

>>280394088
It's going to make 200+ million in japan and 100+ overseas.
The faster jeremy copes with this fact, the better.

>>280394047
btw Japan only made 15m for this movie. This means the WW revenue was 35 million. 1.5x More than MHA made both in japan and worldwide combined .

>>280388602
If you like Kagurabachi you're into yaoi, whether you're aware of it or not. Figure out the rest.

>>280394047
>>280394075
Classic Spic cope, rofl. They cherry-pick their source when the numbers stop working. You got wrecked with BoxOfficeMojo and now suddenly you've become The Numbers' #1 fan? lmao.

Here's the truth that your third world taco-munching ass don't know: BoxOfficeMojo is owned and run by IMDB/Amazon, and it pulls from studio-reported figures, actual distributor inputs, and industry-tracked estimates. The Numbers is decent, but it also lags behind and is notorious for occasional discrepancies in international reporting. In other words: you jumped platforms not for accuracy, but for comfort. You needed a few extra pity dollars on the Demon Slayer column to stop the bleeding.

But even if I play along with your Numbers cope? Cool. Let's say Hashira Training made $32M internationally vs. MHA's $27M. Congratulations, your big, flashy, Aniplex-marketed recap movie barely beat a filler movie that dropped in summer hell, had less promo, and didn’t even have a major push overseas. That's still embarrassing.

Demon Slayer needed: dump month full Aniplex/Sony push 1.5-hour runtime no Hollywood blockbusters around weeks of IMAX/4DX premium screens years of Mugen Train clout... to scrape past a low-effort filler movie by $5 million. If that's your W, your bar is underground.

Meanwhile, MHA's movie:
>released in a meat grinder
>had less reach
>didn't pretend to be "the next saga"
>and still walked away profitable.
So yes, I'll keep using BoxOfficeMojo because it shows (You) were the one coping first, until the receipts embarrassed you. And now you're here pulling the "nuh-uh that site doesn't count!" card like a third grader who got outscored in dodgeball. The moment you switched sources mid-argument, you admitted you lost.

but I'm not going to go out and look for each country revenue.
It's your JOB to do so, now go do it runt.. maybe mha won after all? maybe.

>>280394250
His cope is
>this original movie made from scratch you had to pay people to make made LESS money than an episode compilation and that's GOOD

>>280394271
He'll justify anything for mha and twist everything into bad about kny or any other series he hates.

>>280394194
>>280394196
LMAO. Now you're gloating (more like crying, I can feel the asshurt from across my monitor) that your glorified clip show didn't go in the red?

You started this whole meltdown bragging that Demon Slayer was mogging all anime, smashing box office charts, and cooking billion-dollar Hollywood IPs. And now you've downgraded your argument to:
>"b-but it wasn’t a financial failure!"
Congrats. You went from 'King of the Box Office' to 'at least we didn't flop.'

Here’s the hard truth, Paco: Demon Slayer's international draw has clearly weakened post-Mugen Train. Your recap movie dropped during a dead month with no competition and still got outgrossed internationally by a FILLER movie from My Hero Academia that dropped in the middle of the summer bloodbath. If MHA had the same calendar slot, no competition, and Sony/Aniplex throwing millions behind it, you'd never hear the end of it.

And let's not even get into the fact that your new benchmark for "winning" is breaking even. You’ve officially reached cope stage five: 'not a flop = success!'

Sad.

>>280394307
>still got outgrossed internationally by a FILLER movie from My Hero Academia that dropped in the middle of the summer bloodbath
where's the source? bring each country revenue otherwise this is fake

>>280394307
>breaking even
I mean, in this case they spent less than a million and made 50, companies kill for that RoI.

This nigger is absolutely seething
An entire week of seething and im loving it
Ill break him every day all day

Why did pokemon absolutely destroy MHA entire revenue lifetime in 1 day?

>>280394366
becauseeverything loses against pokemon. no franchise comes close to the juggernaut, the second highest grossing franchise barely sells half as much (and half as much as pokemon is already a titan on its own) not even star wars and disney princess together can match pokemon.
getting mad at pokemon for selling more than your favorite is like getting mad at water for being wet

>>280394404
we lost mha bros....we're such cucks to pokemon

>>280394366
MHA will destroy pokemon after the LA
Nobody cares about pokemon nowadays.

>>280393542
Because even the schizo knows comparing Kimetsu to it's contemporaries is a fools game. He knows deep in his heart that it will surpass his favorite so he deflects and hides behind another IP and the west, even though Japan (as he himself has admited) doesnt care for capeshit.

>>280394326
Nope. I already showed you the source: BoxOfficeMojo (that you tried to use and owned yourself) which is industry standard and not a fan wiki or guesswork. You don't backpedal now, you said it was fake, so let's bring out the receipts and make you eat that bark you'ee chewing.
>international gross?
My Hero Academia: You’re Next
$18,458,211 international
Source: Box Office Mojo

Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training
$15,124,356 international (excluding Japan)
Source: Box Office Mojo

Want to know how I calculated that? Since Demon Slayer's full international number is $32,782,014 and Japan alone was $17.6M, the non-Japan international take is $15.1M. That's math, Paco. Not cope.

Now look at MHA:
$5M U.S. + $18.4M international = $23.4M
And this was in August, against Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, Deadpool, and Bad Boys 4.

Meanwhile, Demon Slayer's movie released in February aka the dump month, had no competition, Sony shoved it into every IMAX and major screen they could, and it still got outgrossed overseas by a filler flick from a "dead" franchise.

You're asking for revenue breakdowns like that changes anything. The aggregate already says it all: MHA filler > Demon Slayer recap internationally.

You brought this on yourself. You should've shut up when you had the chance, but now you're getting slapped by math (Mexicans hate math) and BoxOfficeMojo at the same time. Keep coping, you've downgraded from mogging Hollywood to bragging about barely breaking even on a recap. Pathetic.

>>280394618
Wrong, the numbers is the industry wide standard that deadline uses (as a box office enthusiast, you should know this)

Kny made 32 million WW alone according to it. MHA with japan and everything made only 23m.

All the rest is merely cope and seethe at the absolute rape a recap movie did (that cost near 0 compared to MHA new movie)

Advance tickets sold out in many places

What is this faggot even talking about breaking even? He realizes the recap movies has no new episodes or nothing right? it's not a new movie with animation and budget.
also 50M is huge profit for any anime movie let alone kny. it's probably 100x-1000x return on investment considering the season profits

>>280394670
Jeremy will refuse to see the sheer HYPE japan has for that movie.

>>280394670
Muchibke already has kny at 20k and growing. Will probably end up at 22k-26k.
for reference the recent conan movie that made 14b was at 14k.
and this is hardcore users, not light users. which kny has a lot of em and conan is basically mostly hardcore

>>280394670
>>280394695
They also sold out for Superman, Jurassic World and even Fantastic Four, and unlike Demon Slayer, those movies are shorter so they're more rewatch-friendly, lmao. Advance tickets means nothing when the runtime is still 2h35m and it'll get fewer showings per day which will HUGELY affect the box office.

>>280394771
AIEEEEEEEEEEE

>>280394767
>They also sold out for Superman
they did not
>Jurassic World
it didn't even start yet. do you know how japan tickets work?
>Fantastic Four
literally who?

why do you lie and lie and lie lil bro?

>>280394771
2020 was the most brutal mogging in the history of manga.

>>280394366
He's seething because a Pokemon movie screened during covid as Kimetsu's competition but still underperformed so it blew his whole "no competition" narrative wide open. He also said Sonic was a foreign IP lel.

>>280394651
And here comes the 'The Numbers is gospel!!' cope.

First off, The Numbers =/= reliable international breakdown. It literally estimates international numbers based on distributor inputs and projections, often weeks out of sync or inflated due to rounding. It's not used for detailed territory tracking, just ask anyone who works box office analytics or follows Deadline or Variety. When they want per-market accuracy, they use Box Office Mojo, Comscore, or directly reported studio data.

Want proof? The Numbers says Demon Slayer: Hashira Training made $32.7M international. Box Office Mojo gives $15.1M international (after subtracting Japan's $17.6M). That's a $17 million discrepancy. Guess which one is using real exhibitor data? Hint: it's not The Numbers.

Second, you're moving the goalpost again. Your argument wasn't:
>"What's the best ROI?"
It was:
>"Demon Slayer mogged MHA."
Now that MHA outgrossed Hashira Training internationally, you're pretending it's about production cost? If we go there:
>MHA: You’re Next = an original non-canon movie, actually costs more to make, animate, and promote.
>Hashira Training = recap + one TV episode. Dirt cheap.
And it still underperformed internationally compared to MHA, even with Sony Music pushing it like it was a mainline event. That's not a flex, it's a budget bin hustle.

Third, even by The Numbers Demon Slayer looks worse. Using your own "industry standard":
>Hashira Training = $50.4M worldwide
>MHA = $23.5M worldwide
But hold up, Demon Slayer has:
>a bigger IP
>more marketing
>more fanbase reach
>and a February release with no big competition
And it barely did double what MHA did with a non-canon filler movie in box office hell month (August), surrounded by billion-dollar titans. That's like LeBron James needing overtime to beat a high school benchwarmer. It's not a flex, it's a red flag.

>>280394893
>Demon Slayer has:
>>a bigger IP
owari da. Jeremy himself admits KnY is bigger

KEK

>>280394893
>Third, even by The Numbers Demon Slayer looks worse.

Yep and Haikyuu actually received a 1 million initial print unlike mha

>>280394771
bruh delete this bro j is gonna have a seizure

>>280395015
Yeah it ended its run at 40 million actually. Nearly doubled since then.
Insane run and will actually hit 100m in Japan unlike mha which will likely be forever stuck in the sub 100m japan prison.

>>280394771
how did kny even become this big? ik you're gonna say covid etc but there are other manga to buy and to watch during covid, this is like 10 TIMES the second best in sales, TEN fucking TIMES what the fuck
don't tell me it's ufotable that has this much power? nobody even gives a shit about fate

>>280395065
Ufotable (yes, zero was WILDLY successful)+easy and likeable story and cast = oricon records 100 million copies in a couple years.

>>280395065
It resonated well with nips and brought out new readers which is basically unthinkable. Its easier to make new anime fans in the US for example but imagine doing that in fucking Japan.
Also there's been a manga with shitty animation that blew up during that time (Tokyo revengers)
>>280395080
None of ufo projects were ever as sucessful as kny stop pretending. The fate movies topped at 2b.

>>280394893
>Numbers!

>>280395065
There's no real answer
>muh likeable story and cast
Solo Leveling became the biggest anime with no story and paper thin characters, no rhyme or reason at all to what gets popular

Uh oh jeremy, superman seems to be flopping in japan
national treasure is an aniplex movie btw, so it keeps winning

>>280395110

>>280395065
>>280395080
>>280395094
fate is unironically mid shit that's why it didn't take off
unironically ufotable is a huge studio, you put any decent shonen and you make ufotable animate it and it's gonna be huge, it's just the first time ufo ever animated a decently big battle shonen

>>280395110
>Solo Leveling became the biggest anime with no story and paper thin characters, no rhyme or reason at all to what gets popular
Just like all korean media. It was astroturfed to hell

>>280395135
It's actually selling very highly in the US. but nobody gives a shit about it in Japan
>>280395138
Fate is better than 99% of shonen and the fights are fun as fuck, wtf are you talking about. It also has really cute girls

>>280395138
>that's why it didn't take off
Dude, fate zero was EXTREMELY popular and sold extremely well and basically became the reason TM moved on with bigger porojects and eventually their money printing machine fgo.
UFO is the reason fate became relevant again since it kind of died down after its anime.

>>280395138
its a vn, no shit manga sales didnt take off. are you next going to ask where the edgerunners manga sales went?

>>280395167
The funny thing is fate zero was an original not even from VN. lots of fate fans hate it
but Imo ufotable can't write, Kny mugen train season ep1 which was their original episode was widely criticized and shat on in JP

>>280395157
>>280395167
>>280395179
it's decently popular but it didn't take off at all compared to other big anime or manga, that's what I meant. whereas kny literally exploded everything. have ufo animate kgb or ichi or kaedegami and it's going to be the same thing.

not even you believe this bro. also KDG is likely to be axed

>>280394906
Not really. If anything, you just exposed yourself even harder, lol. If Demon Slayer is the bigger IP... then it getting outgrossed internationally by a MHA filler movie is even more humiliating.
>Bigger IP = More fans, more global pull, more money behind it
>Recap movie = Basically no budget, cobbled together from TV content.
>MHA = Dead franchise (your words), with a filler movie
>Outcome: MHA made more money overseas. Even with less reach. In a bloodbath month. With zero Sony/Aniplex marketing muscle.
That’s not a flex for you. That's an embarrassment, rofl. You're basically yelling:
>'Demon Slayer is HUGE!! But it still got clowned on by a filler movie from a dead franchise!'
Thank you for playing yourself, monkey.
>>280394910
I know it's a recap. That's the whole point. You guys hyped the ever-living hell out of this recap, Sony dumped it into every IMAX screen possiblel, Crunchyroll called it a 'new theatrical experience', Aniplex marketed it like a mainline event and ut dropped in February, a dead zone with no competition.

And despite all that, it couldn't outgross a filler movie from a "smaller" IP overseas. You can't brag about box office wins when your recap got mogged internationally, even with more money, more screens, more push, and no competition. That's like the CEO's son losing a race to the intern who showed up late wearing Crocs. And no, you don't get to pretend it 'doesn’t count!' now. You celebrated Hashira Training's revenue when you thought it was beating MHA. Now that it's exposed? You’re suddenly yelling 'b-but it’s a recap!!'

Pick a lane or take the L.

>>280395214
>also KDG is likely to be axed
What cope is this

>>280395200
>but it didn't take off at all compared to other big anime or manga
But it did? I can tell you weren't around by then but FZ was by far the biggest anime of its year, 40k/volume of anime sales, moved a SHITTON of merch and spawned a fuckton of fate projects.

>>280395214

[Theatrical pre-sale ticket sales] As of July 9, 2025, according to the websites of cinema branches and the information released by the official channels of the branches, the sales of movie pre-sale tickets of several major distribution theaters in Japan were manually counted: 96 Lawson theaters nationwide, 75 TOHO theaters, 25 Shochiku theaters, 22 Toei theaters, and 21 109 theaters, as well as independent theaters other than the major theaters. Because some theater websites failed to synchronize the inventory data of movie pre-sale tickets in a timely manner, the system missed a high rate, which was particularly prominent in AEON theaters and independent theaters other than the major theaters. Therefore, the actual sales volume may be more than the statistics show. At present, at least 320 theaters have sold out the [8-set set] <Special Set>. The number of theaters where both the [Set] and [Combination] <組み合わせ別ver. > are sold out has increased to 121. [Aiwoza version] ＜Aiwoza Building ver.＞ 172 theaters reported sold out.

In 2011? Yes, zero was THE anime that year

Also, just to add extra burn: you keep talking like Demon Slayer’s theatrical wins are just starting. Let me remind you: this franchise peaked in 2020. Every movie since then has made less. Meanwhile MHA, a show you call 'dead' is still pulling international wins with filler. And it's about to get a big-budget live-action from Legendary Pictures. Demon Slayer? It's running out of manga chapters and milking three movies out of 47 chapters. That's not dominance,
that’s desperation.

MHA went mainstream, actual mainstream. It's joining the big boys league together with Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto. Why? Because it has crossover appeal, something Demon Slayer don't have. There's a reason why Aniplex are doing a trilogy. It's because they're stretching out the final few chapters, not because there's so much story, but because they're milking the last drops of fan engagement before it dries up like your father's child support payments. Once the anime ends, the Demon Slayer dies. Just like how this IP is single-handedly carried by the anime, the anime also keeps it on life-support. MHA is a marathon runner, Demon Slayer is a sprinter. MHA will outlive it.

Another melty coming?

>>280395231
but the movie made more money locally and worldwide? how did mha's filler movie mog it?

>>280395464
he thinks the recap (that are basically the episodes merged together) cost 40 million, while the new mha movie (entirely new script and animation) cost only 10k usd. therefore mha is far more profitable while kny barely broke even (if not in the red)

Yep that's his logic
