Wrong

Actually, it does work, lmao. Because Dragon Ball still outsells EVERY SINGLE MANGA in the industry with the exception of One Piece and even One Piece gets beat by Dragon Ball in per volume sales (WON'T ever be surpassed btw). Also actually gets good games, something One Piece and no other anime will ever get. You're stuck with musou slop and Naruto Storm clones.

$30 billion by 2004. Estimated revenue of $45-50 billion in 2025. Dragon Ball alone is richer than...
>Wan Piss
>Kimeshit no Sloppa
>Fujotsu Gaysen
>Boku no Pico Academia
>Naruto
>Bleach
...Combined. You're beneath my feet.

Read this too, nigger. $30 billion in 2004.
My favorite series is sitting comfortably in the Top 5 most valuable media franchises on the planet ever and is worth more than...
>One Piece
>Naruto
>Bleach
>Demon Slayer
>My Hero Academia
>Jujutsu Kaisen
Combined together. It’s SO big and TOO powerful that Shueisha are trying to sabotage it because it overshadows every slop they pump out.

Just like Torishima said about SnK leaving a lot of noise but ZERO impact, Demon Slayer too left a lot of noise but ZERO impact. It's a series that lives and dies by Its anime and the second Aniplex are done milking it, the franchise will die and get memoryholed. Popular overrated slops comes and goes, Dragon Ball is eternal and will outlive every slop you like.

Dragon Ball made $30 billion by 2004
Estimated $45B-$50 billion today in 2025
Top 3 highest-grossing IPs worldwide
One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, JJK, MHA, Demon Slayer are nowhere near that level combined
