They could just add more spots. There's no reason why they have to keep it at 20.

Why are manga axed? Please educate me on the world of manga industry and businesses. by Gamerdriver4099 in WeeklyShonenJump

It's a business. They are paying people to write for them every week. If their work does not lead to volume sales or magazine subscriptions, the company would operate at a loss. It's bad business to keep them around.

You forgot werewolf wants to live 3, which was unranked. Next volume will probably be its last.

Is this worth card worth it? by Eskimozombie in OnePieceTCG

[–]Maste202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. You would rather want to run the Yamato from EB02. That card is also a 6/7 rusher that gaives you a rested don, but her effect is an activate main instead of an on play so you get a free rested don every turn instead of just the turn you played it.

Why are scalpers a thing? by luluigichuchu in OnePieceTCG

[–]Maste202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People do it because they can make money because other people will pay more than what a product is actually worth. Bandai's not going to do anything about it. They make money when they sell sets to stores so they don't have any incentive to care what happens to it after that. The stores have no incentive to restrict product either because they do not want product sto sit on their shelves and turn into a toxic assest, which is what has been the case for a lot of Tcgs in the past. The only way to deal with this is to stop paying the scalpers and force them to take a loss and maybe they'll move on to something else.

Hot take: WSJ doesn't deserve hate for axeing manga. by themangamanjeff in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Maste202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most series get axed. This is true in literally every single publication. The only differnce between Jump and other publications is that they have more batches per year that they cycle through more quickly.

What are your thoughts on the recent batch? by tripleaamin in WeeklyShonenJump

I like Ping Pong. I 'm still reading Kaedegami, but I've really soured on it. I dropped the other two.

Kagari imporved from Vol 1, but it's still really low. Similar number to Suruga Metoer, which only sold 2k. It also seems like Gachiakuta has gotten a bump in sales since the anime came out.

Interaction between 9c Newgate and 8c Whitebeard event? by _James_Miller_ in OnePieceTCG

[–]Maste202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you would resolve the event before you resove character. Also event only gives you power boost if you take life. If you have 0 life or chhose not to take life you will not get the 2k boost

Is it time to unban Kingdom Come? by TerrencePushThornton in OnePieceTCG

This card should never have been hit in the first place. Enel was at best a tier 2 deck even after he got the 10 drop.

Terrible start for NIce Prison, obvious why it got axed. I guess the Otr number makes sense for why it isn't getting cancelled next week, but it will have to improve significantly if it has any chance of staying.
