You fucking retard. You single-digit IQ monkey.
Padula cited Wikipedia as one of multiple sources in a graphic four years ago, in 2020, before the Wikipedia page got nerfed and gutted with untraceable 'estimates.'
He didn't build his argument off Wikipedia, he cross-referenced numbers from
>Toei and Bandai financials
>Movie box office reporting (Box Office Mojo, Eiga.com, etc.)
>Licensing numbers
>Public franchise breakdowns (like Visual Capitalist)
Even in that very infographic, the numbers don't match Wikipedia’s current lowball of a measly $9B, they match the much more accurate industry-backed figures.
>h-he cited wikipedia!!
Following that logic, every academic paper that cites a newspaper or blog is worthless too and that's not how sourcing works. The value of a source depends on HOW it's used and WHAT it supports
Padula used Wikipedia as a supporting reference, not the sole source. Meanwhile, your Demon Slayer dickriding ass is leaning on an old Wikipedia revision with zero breakdowns, no verifiable receipts, and flagged for misrepresentation lmao
>Me: using full revenue breakdowns, franchise reports, and statements from companies and experts
>You: w-wikipedia said $9B and that’s it, you’re schizoooooo!!!
I brought a spreadsheet and you brought a crayon drawing and you still think you won, rofl. You know nothing about business and it shows.
