Dragon Ball overtakes One Piece in Japanese raitings

[Punk Hazard]

Um, fans make these things what they are.

You're saying if OP and DBZ was created around the same time it would do better?

I think not.

One Piece has all those advantages, grated, but lets not forget the time frames which ultimately plays a part in these things in terms of which fans these days require.

Popularity triumphs all every time, facts. Not taking it away from OP, it deliverers, but this is DB here mate.

Who cares if One Piece is better because of time? That doesn't invalidate that, in the end, it beats DBZ in those categories.

"Popularity triumphs all every time"

If your standards are low, then yeah.

 

[Gintõki1]

lmfao, no dude. Maybe in action and nostalgic lube for nostalgic fapping. But story, characters, plot, message, conflict, consistency, pathos, and relatability? Please, DBZ doesn't come close in any category to One Piece.

And how does that make OP something special?
Average shounen being better than another average shounen, yay!

Atleast DBS doesn't try too hard and disappoint with shit in the end.

Leh, by that statement nearly everyone who has ever watch DBZ standards are low.

Because watching/buying boosts popularity my friend....but to each his own opinion I guess :sdo:

DBS isn't good and no just because it outdoes One Piece a few times in ratings doesn't mean much. OP still dominates in every other aspect as a franchise in Japan (merchandise, disc sales, movies, manga, etc.).

Edit: Strong brand recognition is what's pushing DBS forward. Let's be honest. I mean, hair color changes for super saiyan power ups? Lmfao.

Yeahhhh dragon ball is back!!!!!!

Dragon Ball Super is awesome its not as simple as color changes nor does it have to be super complex. Its just fresh new dragon ball. The fans want more and here it is better than ever exploring regions never discovered in the dragonball world.

They are literal dieties now and its only gonna get better with time, especially when Gohan and piccolo make a come back.

Don't be stupid. That was a reply to his post where he asserted that Dragon Ball is better than One Piece. You don't have to be a genius to understand why my reply to his post is talking about what it talks about, so I don't know why you're acting like I hopped into a thread that was solely about DBZ and started talking about how inferior it is to One Piece.

Leh, by that statement nearly everyone who has ever watch DBZ standards are low.

That statement doesn't imply that whatsoever. It actually says that anyone that says something is better than another in quality simply because of popularity or money has a shallow outlook and low standards towards the comparison.

Using that logic, that makes Keeping Up with the Kardashians a far better show.

Every super saiyan powerup is just a hair color change. I'm not saying that's the point of DBS but creativity is definitely a weak point.

Oh, wow deities? How cool...never expected DB to go that route ever, very groundbreaking indeed.

Obviously talking manga/anime wise smh that's an entire reality show based off of famous people entirely different things you have to consider ... nice try :sdo:

Using popularity as your main reason why a series is good is pretty insecure, no?

For popularity in general yes, (which you thought I was insinuating) but for an anime/manga nope (which what I was stating) :sdo:

Ik what you were referring to and it doesn't make a big difference. It's still entertainment.

You sound lost.

 

[Gintõki1]

You sound lost.

Not as much as you.
Go back to the OP section and embarrass yourself more with some fail discussions.

Wut? Just telling you to keep doing that.
It's entertaining to see you lose all arguments.

 

[Avani 🥉]

Popularity of DB always surprises me. >_> But I suppose it's one of those true shonnen series which capture the target audience well.

Glad I have a fan.

Not really a surprise. The current arc in DB Super is by far the best one the DB-series as a whole ever had.
