Pretty sure one piece is more of the IP closer to dragon ball rather than naruto

A decade ago. A decade ago. A decade ago, Naruto was the King of International Sales and was some years even second to Dragon Ball. Maybe even better than Dragon Ball since it was largely dormant during Naruto's prime years. That hasn't been the case since the ending. Due to streaming and the Live action adaptation One Piece has finally taken off internationally like it should have 25 years ago, but before that it was largely considered popular only in Japan. Even Oda admitted he thought that in interviews around the time of ending of Naruto.

Now a days its number 6 at 250mil in terms of volume sales. Dragon Ball is 5 with 260mil, Detective Conan 4 with 270mil, Doremon 3 with 300mil, Golgo13 at 2 with 300mil, and One Piece is number 1 with 517mil. Oh Slam Dunk is number 7 with 185mil

It is the 13th biggest anime franchise with estimated worth of $10 Billion. With One Piece at 7 and Dragon ball at 5. Number One is Naruto's old time slot partner Pokémon. 

 

Even with those numbers the executives know. Naruto-Boruto is not making the money it should be making.

Yeah but one piece did sell around 30 million volumes when marineford was coming out

[totherpage95]

One piece is still ongoing so i can see it. Kishi also said dragon ball and goku was a big inspiration. Heck chi chi and sakura both have chinese dresses

Hozit going everyone? Did we reached the 10 year anniversary?

Hozit going everyone? Did we reached the 10 year anniversary?

That was last month. This month its the 10th anniversary of the Last Naruto Movie with Hinata's red scarf of fate. Next month Naruto's VA Junko Takeuchi asking Kishimoto to be quite already as he tried to BS fans that Sakura was his favorite character; which was embarrassing Chie Sakura's VA who felt ashamed that her character was so unpopular she had to be replaced as the heroine.

When did the second thing happen? Kishi said he liked hinata and junko told him to be quiet from my understanding

No, in 2014 at Jumpfesta he said Sakura was his favorite in another interview later on Hinata was his favorite.

 

Being Kishimoto's favorite character is a meaningless phrase as he changes it constantly and it mainly to appease the person asking the question.

 

The reason that event was important is that it was when Kishimoto was giving constant interviews trying to justify the ending and come with more explanations/excuses to see which one the fans would accept. With someone, Junko, finally having enough of it and telling him to drop it.

do you have a link for these interviews? from my understanding kishimoto complimented sakura and then said he liked hinata which is when junko told him to be silent which was a single interview

depends on what you mean by closer to dragon ball. like was it inspired by dragon ball or is it competing with it. when i first read that it wasn't clear what was meant by "closer" for me. how does boruto compare to these other manga?

Naruto x teenage mutant ninja turtles preview https://x.com/howlxi...StCBAQNAcw&s=19

[Derock]

I had to buy it.

 

TMNTxNaruto Issue 1

It follows between Search for Tsunade and Sasuke Retrieval Arcs from Naruto. While the TMNT world and lore exists within the Naruto canon, it follows the IDW comics as Alopex is part of the Foot Clan (if you guys follow that version). And remember that filler arc right before the Sasuke Retrieval arc? Well, they gave Sakura the sudden enhanced strength before her training with Tsunade and she fought against Raphael, in which he even complimented her skills. Sasuke fought Leonardo and Naruto against both Donatello and Michelangelo.  And somehow Kakashi knows Splinter aka Yoshi Hamato.

 

End of first issue. Second issue comes out in January...

Nice. Where is it for sale? I'm not sure if kishimoto intended for sakura to be super strong judging by him saying he wanted her to be a normal girl but maam inherited super strength from her dad so maybe the anime liked that idea

I got it through Google Play store. Also available on Amazon Kindle. 

 

Also,

Correction on enemy

I might be wrong on Alopex but it could be Kitsune, as I just found out about that character. I guess we'll find out on the second issue.

 

So, I'm gonna post the full summary in a new thread.

[BlueStarSaber]

I'm gonna see if I can buy the issue today at my comic book shop

It should be out as its release date was November 13th, digital was November 22nd.

[NaruSaku fan in Kentucky]

Is it sad for me to say I don't care for the crossover and this is coming from a big Turtles fan.

I remember that clownfest cascade of interviews, "Hinata was planned end game since the start" "Sakura would be bad if she switched", shoked Junko, creators of The Last that wasn't familiar with story of Naruto, what a weird time and bunch of news it was.

[BlueStarSaber]

Hated every bit of news execpt junko telling kishimoto to be quiet at one point, that and Kishimoto admitting thT his wife did not like the fact naruto and sakura did not get together
