Exhibition #7: Jump Circulation Collapse Post-DB
Chart: Weekly Jump Sales 1995-2005
After DB ended in 1995, Weekly Jump lost 2 million+ circulation in 2 years
Slam Dunk ends later, but the fall began with DB
Jump never recovered from the fallout of DB ending, Demon Slayer could never improve Jump's circulation, not even a little bit, an overwhelming majority of people bought Demon Slayer in volumes but did not read Jump. Numbers dropped again in 2020 from 1.6 million to 1.5 million
DB was the pillar, this is statistical proof

>Togashi recommended it. Then more and more legendary authors tarted recommending it
A hack who will never finish his manga in his lifetime, YYH and HxH are BOTH incomplete (Togashi). Another hack who got famous off of a porn game and his writing is SO bad it made Ian McKellen aka Gandalf cringe (Nasu). One more hack who spent 40 years of his career writing the same unfunny jokes and actually has a tranny in his manga lusting after the midget MC's cock (Akimoto). Some samuraislop (whoever made Shigurui or whatever). And a shotacon (Tsukushi).

Torishima is more renowned than any of these one-trick pony hacks will ever be, by sheer virtue of creating Dragon Ball. It was literally the best thing that could've ever happened to Jump. Their sales upped by 15% and when it ended, Jump's readership dropped from 6.5 million yearly to just 4 in 2 years and another 2 million drop after 1997.

Demon Slayer could never improve Jump's circulation, not even a tiny bit, because the overwhelming majority of people bought Demon Slayer in volumes but did not read Jump. Actually, numbers dropped again in 2020 from 1.6 million to 1.5 million. Even today, Jump still suffers the aftermath of Dragon Ball ending.
