why would you ruin my day with this info
The live action created a huge demand for the anime among casual fans who will only watch the dub. The revenue they were generating pretty much covered production costs to order the rest of the anime in dub within a few months. We were just discussing this in another thread yesterday
One Piece was lucky to have a number of factors align in close proximity which really pushed it to become as big as it's ever been worldwide.
-The Live action which was a huge hit among casual fans, this lead to a huge boost to the manga and anime sales/streaming numbers in North America. The demand was so high that the anime dub was able to produce all episodes and is now caught up to the Japanese version, which is an amazing feat in itself.
-The buzz around Gear 5 was huge. It was on major news outlets worldwide lol I've seen MLB stars, huge influencers (Streamers, cosplayers, etc...) with literally tens of millions of viewers wearing Gear 5 merch, jewelry, etc... This is more anecdotal, but before the winter when people wore T-shirts, I saw many young adults wearing OP apparel (I personally saw Gear 5, Law and Sanji). The only place where "One Piece is trash, Lolda fell off, Goofy is trash" is the dominant opinion is niche forum's like this where most people "read" the story for purposes other than actual interest in the story. The mainstream fandom opinion is still overwhelmingly positive.
-The Wano Kuni animation, especially episode 1015, Gear 5 animation, and the Zoro vs King and Sanji vs Queen, Aokiji vs Garp, etc... The massive improvements to the anime quality and production was pretty much the main talking point of the wide anime community every week. Mainstream anime fans who never gave One Piece a shot because of the episode length or goofy looking animation had no excuse to stay on the sideline anymore. Add to that the COVID quarantine where people where looking for series to binge.
-Even after 1100+ chapters, the manga storyline is still very interesting, and Oda does a great job of creating more mysteries as he answers existing ones. And even when the manga has a downturn like the last few chapters of Onigashima where Kaido and Big Mom's arc's were handled really poorly, it usually follows that up with really high points to balance it out. Think of Kuma's flashback, Blackbeard pirates invading Egghead, Luffy vs Gorosei and Kizaru.
I'm a big fan of Conan, Ippo, Jojo, and those 3 series have been going on for 25+ years now have 25% of the manga sales they used to achieve in their peak. All 3 series imo are still as good as ever, but at some points, fans are just going to move on for fatigue. That has happened with the One Piece manga to some extent, but the depreciation hasn't been nearly anywhere near the other 20+ year manga. As far as I recall, the highest selling volume in 2024 was the Kuma flashback, which is unheard of for a manga 25+ years in that it's still holding on to that much of a % of its readership.
There are other factors as well, but it's ultimately just luck that all these factors happened to coincide within the last 3-5 years, and now One Piece isn't the ugly child anymore lol OP fans used to get made fun of back in 2005
Bro
Believe me, the zionist media has already cucked gen z a long time ago they don't need One Piece the last 3-4 years to do it lol

Yes, Luffy's VA is the weakest out of the cast, which is obviously a big flaw given the amount of scenes she has, but overall, I'd have no worries recommending the dub to dub only fans.
You're never beating the allegations bro lmao
Hear me out
Jack x Zunesha
How far can Oda's size gaps go?
The funniest part about this is Base Jack is huge, and Mammoth Jack is super huge
Zunesha is just a YOOOOOOOOOO WTF level of size
I wonder if Jack is into older women like good ole Jarul?

Underground with the rest of the Beast Pirates.
Udon is known for its Prison Mines.
The Beast Pirates couldn't leave the country due to A: losing and B: Kaido's Vivre card being active (we don't know this, though)
The Beast Pirates are underground digging for Kaido, but, Who's Who fought with Ulti and Page One because he's on Queen's side, and Ulti and Page One are on King's side.
Queen and King can't agree on anything, we know they'd fight over who is the Interim Captain.
