I don't really believe that Naruto will reach the levels of those series to be honest. I think that in this generation the only manga to reach that will be One Piece and Detective Conan. I'm not seeing Studio Pierrot spending money to make continuous movies after the anime/manga ended,

The Last Naruto Movie Road To Ninja only sold $17,635,872. For a comparison, One Piece Movie Z sold 77,822,122 and Dragon Ball battle of Gods sold 50,353,002, continuing the anime series(The TV ratings are below the Top 10 and normally below 3 average household ratings),

the manga will probably only have a special Kanzenban edition(Even Dragon Ball basically only has that. Well, it seems that right now is publishing an All coloring volumes too), probably after 5 to 10 years. The games seem to be the only thing grabbing Naruto, but I don't believe only that will be able to keep the franchise alive for much time and I don't really now how the games sell, just the popularity in the west, so it can very well be that the games aren't that popular in Japan(something that I don't believe because of the variety of games made by Japan).

"The Last" wont have the same fate as Road to ninja.
I think you should do this after "the last " and see the compare between it and Battle of Gods !!!

For me,

Naruto and One Piece are leagues ahead of DBZ, but DBZ sure is legendary in it's own way[People do love it very much]...

And for the topic; Naruto was ahead of OP... but this war arc overall downgraded Naruto IMO and currently OP is enjoying a solid lead...

Why can't i compared them ? they're both the same genre and compete in the same field, and try to appeal the same audiences.

Worldwide? Naruto has probably surpassed One Piece. In Japan **** no.

And worldwide DBZ shits on both of them.

As far as storytelling, Naruto was on its way to reaching legendary status imo, until after Pain. It just went downhill from there.

You folks really can't compare DBZ sales to OP sales.That was a whole different era. There is alot more audience today for mangas than there was back then.
