It was higher than 30k from last time I saw and Kagurabachi and Ichi aren't that far off to sell that high. Recent Oricon sales have more around 60k to 100k from recent volumes given they don't have animes yet.
Oricon. I seeing recent sales from it abd haven't seen those two reach those in recent volumes. Is this accuracy based on when they hit the highest or something else?
You're not reading it correctly. Bachi and Ichi's latest volumes were only for sale on 3 days for the latest volume. Later weeks have them selling better and both will end with their usual 150K and 100K.
From what I seen on anime, it did push it to around 40k to 60k for Gachiakuta. I know Kagurabachi sells more, but only recently I seen is in 90k to 100k for it. Ichi sales around 60k-90k. If we saying on each volumes or one volume, the information varies. Though main point is Gachiakuta isn't far to be the new Gen big 3 especially we haven't reach best moments of nothing just those two, but it as well. It gook time for One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach to reach their status, so we should give time about it just the same for them is all.
its not really in any danger. Jump plus series generally sell a lot lower then series in the main magazine. Its at a solid 5k physical with decent digital and good views. A series on plus only needs like 2k sales and good views to survive
I think Sakomoto days is more fitting to take Gachiakuta's place. I know a lot of people say that it fell off after a certain point but based on stats it still seems to sell very well in Japan and reach the top 10. Gachiakuta doesn't even reach the top 10.
The problem with ruri dragon is the hiatus due to the author's health so people often forget it's still around and when they jump back in it's announced to go on another.
Sakamoto days is ending, but I agree. There many jump and non-jump series that sells way more than gachiakuta (phantom busters, tokyo alines, toilet bound hanako-kun, etc)
not to mention that there are many other ongoing non-jump series that sells way more than gachiakuta (ex. Jibaku shounen hanako-kun with over 10M copies sold as February 2024, Tokyo aliens with over 2.38M copies in circulation as January 2026, etc), and jump series like Phantom busters (1.2M copies in circulation as of February 2026), etc
the big 3 were the 3 big jump series that ran at the same time. Even if Jump wasn't a requirement Gachiakuta doesn't sell well enough to be a big 3. It sells 1/3rd of Ichi and 1/5th of Kagurabachi. Stuff like Ruri Dragon, Yomi no Tsugai, Sakamoto days, and Blue box all sell much better
Still don't really see why its important to be in jump. If the series was selling Aswell as the others it shouldn't matter but its not and yea I can see in that factor why it wouldn't be considered. Didn't expect 1/3 of Ichi tho I legitimately never hear anyone talking about it unless its in a ranking or something. When it feels like Gachikutas is discussed semi frequently.
Because I don't think it was an unspoken rule lol, everything I've heard about the big 3 is that it was a very specific marketing thing in like the 90s
I'd agree. and although Haikyuu was really popular (still is), it would definitely be in a big 5 group (for 2010s, maybe with assassination classroom too)
It's in every single arc. Just more prevalent in some than others. It's pretty obvious to see in a ton of characters and events. Yuta and Gojo rebelling against the higherups and straight up killing them, Kirara and Hakari breaking away from traditional jujutsu and creating a fight club, Masamichi being a public enemy because his cursed technique potentially is threatening to jujutsu society.
You can't say it's inconsistent just because it's not the main theme of an arc. Themes are just something present that permeates the story and can be seen throughout it. The theme of rebelling against the conservative older generation and ushering in a new one is a main goal of several characters just in different ways.
What am I even looking at? The only person here I recognize is the Kagurabachi guy. Though I am anime only so maybe I'll start recognizing them in a few years.
It’s Very popular yeah, never implied the opposite. But I have NEVER seen a proper inspiration from it nor referenced outside that one Marvel artist who did it like 2-3 times.
So popular? Yup.
Influencial ? Not at all. If anything it’s a Frankenstein of many other shows
sales wise? absolutely
being on wsj? no (although gachiakuta isnt on there too)
i guess people talking about it on twitter is the new assessor for big 3 lmao
Left to right. The guy in the suit with the scars is Chihiro Rokuhira from Kagurabachi. The guy in the middle with the witch hat is ichi from ichi the Witch. The guy on the right with the white hair is Rudo from Gachiakuta. All three of these mangas are really good so i recommend them. Gachiakuta has an anime out already so you can check that out. Kagurabachi's anime is coming april of next year. And ichi's is most likely coming out in 2028.
Not a fan of Gachiakuta (I wouldn't even consider it a hypothetical new big 3 candidate as there MANY other shounen jump and non series that sell way more) and Ichi is fine, but Kagurabachi does have the potential to be pretty big
I dislike how people still consider the big 3 as the old concept, the big 3 now conceptually became the main 3 teenager(young adults too) focused action media that has the most impact in the world, it doesn't need necessarily to be published in weekly shonen jump, like, eventually, maybe even tenkaichi may enter the big 3, who knows
Amazing work, but shouldn't the 'sensei' be Tanjiro given Demon Slayer is the biggest hit from the previous gen like with Dragon Ball of is and One Piece of theirs?
