General & Others Has Oda's motivation gone down?

[dizzy2341]

One piece hit a new sales recod in 2020 and the popularity of both the anime and manga have been steadly increasing over the years, specialy in the west, soo wtf are you on about the sales going down? Saying demon slayer beat them in sales and thus its going down is honestly, a very missinformed oppinion, i'll tell you the reason why Demon Slayer sold soo well when the anime was airing:


The manga is shit, it has average art, nothing revolutionary or new about its story, character development is rushed and the fights are not that well done...But i will tell you what it HAS. It has an anime made by ufotable that managed to improve EVERYTHING the manga did, they made the boring fights in the manga interesting with amazing animation and the god tier sountrack and huge improvements to the pacing fixed a whole lot of problems with the story. Soo a lot of people became fans and decided to buy the manga, the thing is, since they are new fans they bough all the volumes previously released at once, resulting in a massive inflation in number of sales for that manga. You just have to look at the most recent sales numbers to realise its numbers droped a LOT.

Yikes...100% of what you proceeded to "inform" the OP on in the quoted paragraph is nothing but nonsense, ending the post on a hilariously inaccurate statement to top it all off.

If you want to talk about sales, then yes, KnY is beating OP. In ways that have never been seen before to say the least.

The most recent sales numbers are astronomical and 2 of its new volumes have easily broken OP's record for best individual volume sales in a year.

As you can see, KnY is competing with itself. OP isn't even in the competiton. The newest volume of OP sold 1, 594, 700 copies in 4 weeks, whereas the newest volume of KnY sold 3, 035, 269 in 4 weeks. The anime finished a year ago, so this is obviously the result of the manga's strength in satisfying fans in order for them to buy more and more, steadily setting new records with each volume.

And I have no idea what new sales record you're talking about that OP apparently hit in 2020. Maybe you misread all the different headlines that referenced OP as it regularly had its records decimated by KnY , but when talking about OP's sales specifically, its physical sales are actually some of the lowest they've been in a decade.

For a post trying to inform the "very misinformed", you seem to have got everything...completely and utterly incorrect yourself...

Hmm...

The influx of breaks over the past few months has nothing to do with Oda losing motivation. It just so happens that Shonen Jump itself have been taking breaks alongside Oda's regularly scheduled breaks, and there ends up being more downtime for One Piece because of it. If it wasn't for Shonen Jump, Oda wouldn't even take his breaks in the first place. They are the ones who put him on a Four week cycle schedule. So when it's time for his scheduled break, it happens, whether he wants to take it or not.

Basically what Celestial said. All series are currently on many breaks due to Corona. That sucks, but let's just be glad we can still read Jump.

First, KyN is not competing with One piece in 2020 yearly sales, lets pay attention, shall we? The argument here is not individual volume sales, its about another series taking One Piece's number #1 spot as the most popular shounen manga/anime in japan....With all your graphs pulled out of your arse, you seem to forget one very important fact. Demon Slayer ENDED, must be nice to cough up soo much "evidence" when you have no clue of what competition even means, huh? Do you think yearly sales of demon slayer will end able to keep up if theres no new volumes releasing? And what other series is in shape to come EVEN CLOSE to pulling a demon slayer on one piece again? Boku no hero? LMAO


Whats next? You gonna claim demon slayer got #1 yearly spot just because of new volume sales and people buying the older volumes didnt play a massive role in those numbers?

One piece has recently reached a millestone of 470M copies in the entire world.

You sure do talk extremely confident for someone that knows literally nothing on the situation. I knew nothing too, but it's very easy to look up the information, which you clearly haven't done, otherwise you wouldn't be beclowning yourself like this.

These right here are the stats for 2020 yearly sales. And you're right, KnY isn't competing with OP in yearly sales. OP's known numbers only put it at 5th place. Having sold less than a whopping 12x what KnY sold this year.

You're in for a helluva shock, lmfao

I'm not simply "claiming" anything. The facts are right there. No one's problem but your own if you're unable to interpret them.

There's a difference between sales and circulation, lol.

Yes, lmfao because I know how to do basic maths. If you add up solely the 3 new KnY volumes released this year, then that's still 10 mil alone. Almost double what every OP volume combined (including its 2 newest ones) have sold this year. The backlog volumes contributed to KnY's record breaking 63 mil sales, but if we're talking about the most in 2020, then it easily could've done that with solely its newest volumes since they sell double what any other manga volume does.

Aka, 2020 is a shit year and its not really Oda's fault.

We are only behind ~4 chapters than what we would have gotten this year (if no Covid breaks, we would have been expecting 993 next week)
