Both One Piece and Detective Conan are legendary manga titles that have been running for decades. They’ve amassed a massive fanbase around the globe, and it seems like One Piece is on the cusp of creating history. Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus will release more chapters than Detective Conan this year - a feat that very few manga titles can boast about.
For a manga title to pump out chapters for over 2 decades is quite impressive, and Oda rarely took breaks since the time he released the first chapter of the series. Luffy and his crew’s adventures continue to entertain millions of people across the globe, and it feels like there’s plenty of life left in the series. Fans can expect One Piece to put out more chapters than Detective Conan this year.
One Piece on the verge of creating history as it will release more chapters than Detective Conan
It is important to take a look at the release schedules of both the aforementioned manga titles. Oda’s series follows a release schedule that is considered the norm in this industry. This title releases chapters weekly and rarely takes breaks from this schedule. Detective Conan, on the other hand, has an odd release schedule.
The series often releases 2-3 chapters every week and then enters a 6-8 week hiatus. The release schedule is a tad bit sporadic, which is the reason why fans firmly believe that this series will release more chapters this year. As it stands, Oda’s series has released a total of 1122 chapters, while Detective Conan has a total of 1129 chapters.
Given that only 7 chapters separate the total count of both series, Eiichiro Oda’s series is poised to surpass Gosho Aoyama’s works. One thing is certain, and that is both titles will continue releasing chapters for the foreseeable future. The exact chapter count is uncertain but fans believe that Oda’s series has finally entered the last leg of the story. Here’s how the respective fanbases reacted to the news.
Netizens react to One Piece potentially surpassing Detective Conan in chapter count, this year
"Both are GOATED SERIES", said one fan
"Crazy because both are long", said another
"is detective conan episodic cuz if it is then the author has though of 1000 ways to commit crimes and thats crazy", said one netizen
"I guess the only manga that are hard to top are kochikame and golgo 13 both with 200 volumes. although they are more episodic I believe so they might not be as continuous of a story like one piece is", said another
Fans have a great deal of respect for both these titles because of their impact on the medium of manga as a whole. Furthermore, fans were quite shocked at the chapter count of the Detective Conan series because it takes a lot of skill and creativity to come up with various murder mystery cases.
While fans were impressed with the chapter count of both these manga titles, they also know that it would take quite a lot of time to pump out as much content as Golgo 13, which has been going on since the 1980s. Fans are bracing themselves for Oda's series to create history and eventually reveal the One Piece as well.
