Dragon Ball and One Piece are the most profitable brands to TOEI Animation.
While the fandoms of each brand argue to see which anime/manga is better, the company produces a lot of money from both. However, in a continuous competition year after year, there is always a superior side than the other side. At the time of 2021 and 2022, many people were surprised when Dragon Ball defeated One Piece to become the highest profitable anime for TOEI Animation, although there was no episode that was released since 2018, in 2018, in 2018 When Eiichiro Oda's series continued to release new episodes regularly.
But in 2023 and ending the fiscal year 2024, One Piece, with a successful live-action version, surpassed Dragon Ball to bring the opponent to second place.
And then, the appearance of Dragon Ball Daimi brought everything in its position. The Dragon Ball anime was launched in October 2024 and has since created a craze in the fan community of Goku, Vegeta and other Z's adventures.
According to Meristation, Dragon Ball Daimi brought about $ 123 million for TOEI Animation, while One Piece earned $ 119 million.
The future of Dragon Ball
The future of Dragon Ball in 2025 depends on the outcome of Daimi. Only four more episodes will end. The end of the film and the possibility of the second part is an important factor to know whether the greatest work of Akira Toriyama will continue to attract the public.
For many fans, the release of Dragon Ball Super 2 is very urgent, but there are still many secrets around the continuation of this manga after the departure of Akira Toriyama.
