Dragon Ball Circulation problem.

Dragon Ball Sales exceed 300. by just simply counting the overseas it is much more then officially announced. For example here are the current numbers and sources

Asia: Japan: 160M

South Korea 20 million copies, Source

China 10 million copies, Source

Taiwan 10M, Source

Hong Kong 8.4M,Source


Total of Asia sales:208.4M

Europe/South america:

France 35 million copies,Source Source2

Brazil 34 million,Source

Spain 20 million ,Source Source2

Italy 16 million,Source

Germany 8 million,Source

Total EU/SA: 113M

Total combined:321.4M at the very least. this is not accounting for USA/SEA countries.although the US Copies are most likely counted since Viz is owned by shueisha.

At the time of the announcement of Dragon Ball Kai at the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2009 it has been announced it reached 350M there already. Source Source2 and the source is shueisha themselves. Some japanese people emailed toei and confirmed that Shueisha number is correct (Which was the source at the Kai announcement)

Toei said in the announcement of the movie that it has 260M, it is the official figure. Cracker-Kun (talk) 00:37, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon Ball total circulation is 260 million copies.

Until right now in this date, there are no official japanese sources or any japanese reliable source announcing that the total worldwide circulation of Dragon Ball is 300 million copies. So far, these are the latest japanese articles about the Dragon ball (promoting the film), and it says 260 million instead of 300 million.: https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/67d6762c95b6729a8e59ad271c86b3ce28418321 https://mantan-web.jp/amp/article/20220307dog00m200052000c.html

As you can see, until right now, the total circulation is still in 260 million copies. Even the japanese wikipedia, it also said that it is 260 million copies. https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9C%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB

When it comes to "circulation", japanese official release is still the most reliable source. You can wait on the official announcement from Shuiesha or Toei animation to change the circulation in this page. Selenne (talk) 02:52, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon ball Super is not written by Toriyama

Dragon ball Super is not written by Toriyama. Toriyama simply gives plot points or rejects them. WillsEdtior777 (talk) 15:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Superhero

Dragon Ball should also be labeled as a "superhero" series (even in the genre section) since Goku and his friends have superpowers and fight to protect the Earth from (mostly) aliens. MrWii000 (talk) 19:51, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
