Yeah, but One Piece really doesn't fall under the "battle-manga" genre, its more in the Action/Adventure (personally I consider Bleach to be more in the drama genre than "battle-manga" mainly due to the fact Bleach's central premise is less focuses on the action-scenes (which still are important)and more on character development and emotional scenes. Bleach is really kind of the black sheep of the bunch.)genre. Naruto is a "battle-manga" to an extent (more so than Bleach in my opinion) but Toriko is without a doubt a "battle-manga." Also the fact that a good majority of the series canceled in Jump as of late have fallen under the "battle-manga" genre also raises great concern. With Naruto's impending end and Bleach ending in the not-too-distant future, I don't think Toriko is good enough to keep the "battle-manga" genre alive in Shonen Jump, especially when you can barely gain a fair advantage over series over 10 years old. If Jump did not have One Piece or "action basketball" they would be in serious trouble right now. With Titan's numbers Jump's safety net has begun to rot and if they cannot find a sustainable manga like Naruto or Bleach, then Jump is in real trouble and now the remote possibility of One Piece being dethroned is more theoretically possible than a year ago, especially since One Piece has not made any real gains in sales, rather sustaining its sales levels over the last 3 years or so. Jump needs to get its act together.
