LOL dude don’t troll, There was no One Piece released to kick Naruto’s ass, please keep this number in mind (660,402) and compare it to the sales of the next One Piece Volume

One Piece is Crap after the 2 Years…

megatroll. last one piece volume sold 1.7 mil its first week.

One piece wasn’t released this week fool. You can tell by looking at the top 10 and noticing its not even on the list.
RedDragon10

One piece is quite popular in Europe, as well as Japan. It’s only ignored by people like you in the US who can’t even give it an honest shot.

Do pokemon still make manga? most of these anime’s on this list I never heard of.
*Super~Sayian*

I don’t think the idiot even read the article, just posted out of ignorance.
Guest

hold up bro, lemme get my popcorn so I can sit down and here why you think OP sucks, lemme guess what the spoilers are, stupid rubber boy, pirates and stupid drawing detail? oh come on you can be more original than that.
RedDragon10

Exactly. This is why naruto fans get such a bad rep.
kUSHSmoKer21

How come everytime one of these posts shows up there’s always a naruto vs one piece arguement in the comments? It’s really annoying.
Guest

How come everytime it’s a narutard who starts it?
kUSHSmoKer21

Idk I personally like Naruto over One Piece but I don’t be a dick about it and start a arguement because that is so lame.

well, everybody knows one piece wins every battle~
WHY1254

BUUUUUUUUUll SHit
http://twitter.com/ShengFuCOMICS Sheng Fu COMICS

you said that cause you are jealous of one piece’s success??
kUSHSmoKer21

Meh… Not really but I wasn’t taking naruto side in my post
RedDragon10

Well, Guest does have a pretty valid point. I mean look at what Vergil Uchiha wrote, “Wahaha Suck it Op Fans xD.” One piece wasn’t even mentioned in the article. Certain naruto fans, who are termed narutards by the general online community, tend to attack and criticize any anime or manga that threatens the holiness that is naruto. OP is their prime target.
kUSHSmoKer21

Yea see that post that he wrote was unnecessary and totally unrelated to the topic at hand. Like I said before I like naruto but I don’t bash other mangas or fans for no reason.
RedDragon10

Exactly, and I admire you for that. I do as well. I love both naruto and one piece but I won’t stand around watching one get bashed for no reason.

Did Obito just skipped 3 tomoe sharingan and jumped into mangekyo? and how the hell Kakashi never realized it throughout the PTS Naruto?

I don’t care if naruto the last Manga/Anime . It’s still my best anime .

LISTEN ALL OP FANS: I will clarify once and for all why OP has been ahead Naruto in Japan all the time: JAPANESE only mind the cover!! Isn’t it obvious? In OP the covers are always colorful and full that’s why it’s so popular! And can you imagine now why Bleach isn’t that much popular in Japan? Yes, because the Cover always contains only one person and that doesn’t seem exciting at all. Somehow, people in other countries are different. I don’t want to be racist but that’s my anlaysis. Japanese people are like this. It cannot be helped. And concerning naruto covers, they aren’t that full as well. So it only manages to be second. XD (Don’t take this post too seriously) XD XD!!!

trollololoolololo!!! that gave me a good laugh xD

Naruto and One piece are great, now please stop comparing them.
Sandrie Manzano

What kind of Logic is that?
Matsu96

Well, I said don’t take it seriously. XD But maybe it’s really a good point.. You know, many people are tempted by covers.
