Dragon Ball keeps outselling One Piece and the gap got bigger. Gundam keeps being the top dog but the gap got shorter.
Dragon Ball franchise is doing fantastic lately and with Super officially taking over the world, it will just get better.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

After two failed attempts at a new brand (in GT and Kai) they finally got one to work! Guess third time was the charm. And yup Super's international roll out has just started so hopefully things can only get better for DB. I am kind of surprised by it's success in a way, it a series that hasn't started the strongest start, had a very slow international roll out, a majority of fans had to resort to piracy for the first year or so.

Well to be fair, kai was just Z so they had trouble selling more merchandise. The ratings were great though. It surpassed one piece a few times I think, not even Super has done that.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

They also made a similar mistake that Funimation did with their Dragon Box and Level releases of Z; they started releasing Kai immediately after Japan's standard home release finished. It only figures that people were burnt out on spending money on the Dragon Ball. I suspect that Kai would have been vastly more successful financially if they had waited until around 2012-2013. Of course, that may have offset Battle of Gods, and the entirety of modern Dragon Ball for that matter, so I guess it probably all worked out for the best that things happened the way they did.

Holy shit. Dragon Ball Super is exactly what Toei and Bandai were hoping for: a money machine.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Are you surprised? They advertise the shit out of DBS though. They have Whis and Beerus doing a lot of commercials lol.

There's no point to judging it as a new show when it comes to popularity, though. It's a franchise with an ingrained fanbase, popularity, etc. The "technical" standpoint isn't all that useful here.

Well, that's during Dragonball Supers time slot. Has anyone live streamed one piece to know if they advertise it a lot during that time slot ?

I think it's going to be a battle royal were all 10 members fight at the same time and killing will be allowed so even if your team wins you're likely to lose some team mates so teaming up will be a focal point so you don't go into the next round short handed
Wow I was kinda right about the format of the tournament being a battle royal

I love selfish Goku. it's his most endearing trait. without it dragon ball wouldn't have lasted this long. even though I hated Goku when I was a kid mostly for all the stupid shit he did. he have grown on me because I understand him now. Goku is a pure blooded saiyan; a race of battle hungry warriors. only thing that makes Goku feel alive is death matches with people who are stronger than him. that's why he wanted the no killing rule removed from u6 vs u7 tournament; that is why he wanted to spare freeza again; that's why he's so bored after almost being killed by black and zamasu. Goku is a fighting junkie who would put universes on the line if it meant he'd have amazing battles. he loves this shit and so do I. what makes him awesome is his fight boner don't castrate Goku

Just re-watched One Piece. Not my show, but they did advertised Dragonball Heroes...but that's part of the Dragonball Franchise no? They played some the same commercials as they did during Super's broadcast, just not as many.
