And Toei, the owner of Dragon Ball's anime rights, says 350 million in 2013 (see picrel, from their official site).
Toei literally worked with Toriyama, licensed the manga, and ran official campaigns around that number.
You really think they just made up 90 million copies out of thin air? If Toei says 350M, it's 350M. That's more legit than any stale-ass Shueisha stat from 2002, rofl.

You keep clinging to 260M like it's the gospel when that stat was already outdated 20 years ago.
>2005
DB was already past 300M.
>2009
350M confirmed at Tokyo Anime Fair.
>2013
Eeaffirmed again for Battle of Gods, screenshot from their official site attached. That's your death certificate right there, nigga.
>Its widely known Slam dunk is the cause for the golden age not dragon ball.
So explain this:
>Jump circulation fell from 6.5M to 4M after Dragon Ball ended in 1995
>Slam Dunk ended AFTER Dragon Ball, Jump never recovered
>In 2002, it was said Dragon Ball made up 85% of Jump's Golden Age sales
Slam Dunk was huge, but it was Dragon Ball that carried the whole ship. Your claim is like saying Pippen carried the Bulls, not Jordan.
>And the movie made 15 billion.
Carried by Japan and Ado. Broly and Super Hero still outgrossed most Wan Piss movies with less marketing, lmfao. And don't even talk games, Wan Piss has NEVER had a single game even 1/10 as good as FighterZ, Budokai 3, or Legacy of Goku. You're stuck in budget JRPG hell while we're eating steak with ArcSys and Bandai. FighterZ is also coming back to EVO.

You're goddamn right. Dragon Ball's what gave you Wan Piss.
>Oda's favorite series?
Dragon Ball.
>Most iconic paneling, pacing, and tone in One Piece?
Lifted from Dragon Ball.

Jump only survived long enough to serialize Wan Piss because of Dragon Ball, and you are literally reading a legacy series born from Dragon Ball's nutsack.
