There has been a recent claim by Boruto fans that One Piece is facing difficulties in terms of manga sales. This has led to a clash between the two fanbases on X. While this is typical behavior for these groups, it garnered attention due to their inaccurate understanding of Eiichiro Oda’s series’ sales figures.
Despite sales fluctuating over the years, it cannot be denied that One Piece has been a consistently successful series since its debut decades ago. This statement becomes even more ironic when taking into account the fact that Boruto has faced criticism for its low sales at certain points, despite receiving praise from both critics and fans for its recent Two Blue Vortex timeskip.
Please be advised that this article includes spoilers for both of the series referenced in this piece.
Boruto fans cause controversy by claiming One Piece is struggling with sales
Despite user @Itachiflawlesss’s claim that One Piece may be facing struggles in manga sales and could potentially be canceled like Bleach, this is inaccurate information. One Piece remains the highest-selling manga of all time and has consistently maintained its position as a top seller, often ranking within the top three in monthly sales within the industry.
This particular series has gained widespread recognition in the manga and anime industry, making it highly unlikely that it will be discontinued anytime soon. In fact, it is highly probable that the author, Eiichiro Oda, will have ample time to conclude the series in a way that satisfies him, as evident by the fact that the series has already surpassed one thousand chapters.
Despite Masashi Kishimoto’s sequel occasionally struggling with sales, it is ironic that it is still more successful than Tite Kubo’s Bleach. Furthermore, the claim that Bleach was canceled is incorrect, as the author faced health issues and had to rush the ending of the manga.
The manga has remained popular over the years, as shown by the recent release of the Hell arc. This demonstrates both its enduring popularity and Shonen Jump’s commitment to continuing the story.
Reactions to Claim
It is accurate to state that the statement made by Boruto fans did not go unnoticed by One Piece fans, sparking a heated debate online. Although individual preferences may differ and the quality may vary between series, One Piece has consistently outsold Boruto over the years.
Despite being a sequel to the highly successful Naruto, Boruto has faced challenges in achieving the same level of sales. This can be attributed to its divisive reception, making it difficult to establish a loyal audience and sustain sales.
“Doesn’t that just prove that at One Piece’s lowest (1.5 mil) that it’s better than where Naruto was at (1 mil)? I know you secretly a One Piece fan but the setup is too obvious this time…”someone said.
“Bleach rent free in your head lmao,”someone else said.
“Insane set up,”another person said.
Despite the fact that the Boruto Two Blue Vortex timeskip has been well-received by fans and critics, increasing the stakes for the sequel, it is impossible to ignore the significant difference in sales compared to One Piece.
“”poorly”whole time its lowest is 1.5 mill,”someone said.
“Boruto fan talking about sales,”someone else said.
The primary focus when reading the manga should be the joy that people can derive from these series, regardless of sales numbers.
