The arc itself is good, arguably the best one since the timeskip. It's just... the OP anime continues to be the OP anime, not much else to say lol
It is currently in a major arc, they're dealing with a Yonko lol

I'm pretty sure Freeza will knock out one U6 Saiyan.
It doesn't help that the One Piece anime barely covers a chapter an episode. The pacing is straight trash so this doesn't shock me at all.
Haha, the pacing is straight-up glaicial.
Part of me wishes they'd just start over and do it all the right way. There's more than enough content that they'd never catch up to Oda, even with proper pacing.

1Q would've covered the beginnings of the Whole Cake island arc, so mostly just set up.
But if you look at that chart closely, it's not so much that One Piece fell as much as it's that Dragonball exploded worldwide since last year. Which makes sense as that was around when Super stopped copying the movies and started having new arcs. There's not much in anime that can beat NEW Dragonball content in terms of licensing and merchandise.
I don't think One Piece is in a great position lately, DBZ seems like an absolute juggernaut in comparison. I'm not sure it will change.
But speaking of OP, the views difference on Toei's channel is pretty funny.
Well those videos aren't very comparable. Of course Dragonball previews get a lot of views since everyone wants to know what happens in the next episode. But anyone who wants to know what happens next in One Piece would just read the manga, not scour over details in a short YouTube video.

For Q1 of the fiscal year Dragon Ball made more than double what One Piece did in Japan.
Dragon Ball's comeback continues to amaze. I wonder if it will continue to make more than OP in Japan for the rest of the fiscal year or if this is a one time thing.
Wow! Double of what OP did? Holy crap! :O
Problem is it's a series where there's really not much room for filler. Plus they stopped because no one watched it in the first place. They'd be better off just doing two seasons of content a year, but the ship's sailed on that.

Fucking wow.
Where is Dragon Ball making all of this money? I always assumed One Piece just destroyed Dragon Ball from merch and manga sales alone.

I forgot to specify that the image I posted is just Toei, I don't know if Bandai put out their numbers yet, but DB made about double what OP did for Bandai last fiscal year, so it's probably pretty similar, just with bigger numbers since Bandai makes more off of the IPs than Toei does.
It used to, but Dragon Ball merch has become a monster in the past 2 or so years.

Ah. Makes sense. So One Piece is probably still making an absolute killing from manga sales.
But it's still amazing how well Dragon Ball is doing. I didn't expect this so quickly.
Feels good to see a new Dragon Ball anime killing it like this. Also comforting considering how many times I suggested it during the Kai days, and how many times I was told "TOEI WOULD NEVER DO THAT IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE AND WOULDN'T BE WORTH IT"
fuckers

Yeah, One Piece's manga sales are still massive, but Toei and Bandai don't see that money.
It had nothing to do with money, it had to do with Toriyama refusing to come back at all.
I don't know about "DBS" directly, but yes he gets a % on any game and merch.

I'm pretty sure he gets a bit from everything. Even if he doesn't he'd still get paid for Super considering he's directly involved.
They're his characters and story, even if it's a sequel series he's not involved in he should still be bringing in a royalty check.

That's from Toei, so it's (part of the money) from all products that use the anime license for Dragonball or One Piece. Manga sales wouldn't enter there.
See that "Bird Studio"? It's basically Toriyama. Any money from DB related products partially goes back to him.

Oh nice. Never knew Bird Studio was related to him at all.

Is this including everything (merch, manga, and tv show)? Or just money from airing on tv?For Q1 of the fiscal year Dragon Ball made more than double what One Piece did in Japan.

My Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black arrived from Figure Class! Only my second DB resin statue, and it's so rad. Fantastic sculpt, detail, base, and paint job. Really captures the evil arrogance of Black. The Rosé aura is just gorgeous. It also came with a titanium replica of Black's time ring as an unannounced bonus.

Wow. Those are some badass figures. Goku Black looks absolutely perfect (DBS am cry)!! Even the Goku+Freeza one looks awesome too.

This is licensing money that Toei gets, so their cut of all the merch.
Bandai and Sueisha's numbers aren't a part of this, though Toei gets a cut of Bandai's stuff.
Caulifla knocked out the Sumo from U10, the guy in the Freeza shot is the leader of the U10 team.
I'm blaming the elephant god for bias towards pink fighters.
Maybe that's why they took Buu out, so he wouldn't be mistaken for a U10 fighter.
Japanese people are not that greedy.
He has several residences, doesn't have to care for clothes, food, any extra activity or collectible he wants, all the cars and bikes he loves, doesn't have to worry about healthcare, and he's set for life, as well as his kids for several generations to come.
A big part also goes to his company, which I assume he uses to pay some of his faithful employees (a handful at most), and produce some stuff.
It's not like he needs more.

As I recall, that kind of life amounts to about 2 mil US.
Its not about greed, its about how much he gets to keep of his own profits. Cause I'll tell you, someone is getting filthy rich off him.
