Thanks, its a huge phenomenon I can see that, but that's exactly what it is.
It sold 4+ million per volume because the series was ending and people were binging it. One piece, at 60-80 volumes, was selling 3+ million consistently for years.
Not only this, its not over or really at a critical point in the series. You have to assume Kimetsu could sell its 27(?) Volumes at that same rate if it hit volume 70/80/90.

Scotch thinks Korean raw is leaking today. In the spoiler images thread
1) KnY was a relatively low selling series for WSJ until the anime, so the increase is absolutely and relatively much higher
2) The length of KnY and the fact that it already ended now vs One Piece was at vol 60 around MF
3) Much better anime by animation wise best studio and also timeslot
Whereas OP was already by far the best-selling manga in 2009 (i think more than the next 5 combined) before the hype started in 2010, and was already having 3 mil first prints iirc.
Nevertheless, KnY has a bigger, more concise hype than OP ever had in terms of backlog buying.
What are you taking about? The Zoro fanbase is the biggest in here by far as shown by Zoro strolling through that popularity contest he was in last year.
Sanji fanbase are the loudest ones despite not even being anywhere near the size of the Zoro's one. If that fanbase was even half as big as Zoro's, Sanji would have won a WG popularity contest by now yet hasn't come close every year it's been hosted.
This just shows you how loud they are despite not even being a top 5 fanbase in size on these boards. Not surprising given how the few Sanjifans (<3) can't stop parroting about him despite his irrelevance, especially in Wano.

Yes, I get that, but wait until One Piece ends up finishing before making the comparison, all I'm saying. The hype of reaching OPs mysterious ending is sort of 90% of the point of its story, or at least reaching Laugh Tale. If the final war comes after and it really turns everything we know about the series upside down (as Oda seems to be presenting it), the series will shoot up again in popularity

I am not making any comparison, just stating the facts.
Unless you think OP backlog volumes are gonna sell nearly 5 million a piece within a few months, a backlog consisting of probably at least 120 volumes, good luck with that.
It might do that over the years since itยดs a story that can really be generational, and the impact and relevance on society is great, but it will never reach the concise nature of hype KnY had and is still having. It shot from average WSJ title (iirc had around 100.000 copies per volume sold roughly) to having 120 million copies sold in one and a half years.

Well, many of those volumes already have 3+ million in sales so for them to hit another 1-2 million lifetime sales before the series ends is not impossible...
KnY received most of those sales at once. Thats the difference I'm talking about. One Piece hasn't ended, KnY has. One Piece hasn't potentially reached peak popularity, especially if the ending is good, and the ending is pretty much the one thing Oda hypes about his series. Is a 20+ year payoff in the running.

My man, still not the point.
I am not saying OP will not reach KnYยดs sales per volume in the future. For me itยดs a given as well.
But that does not change the fact that OP will never have such a concise hype, and never had it.
