According to the weekly series Oricon sales chart, the Ultraman Series has taken the top spot, generating sales worth 267.21 million yen (≈1.20 million USD). The series’ discs were the main driver of sales, with a total of 41,748 copies sold within the first five days of release. The Blu-ray editions accounted for 33,544 of the total copies sold, while the DVDs made up the remaining 8,204 copies. Apart from the Video segment, other factors such as Music, Books, Novels, and Manga also contributed to the sales.
At second place is Detective Conan, which is not surprising given its strong performance in the Manga Top 30 sales chart for the week. The sales of Volume 103 propelled the series to a total of 243.72 million yen (≈1.82 million USD) for the week, with the Manga segment being the biggest contributor to sales. Along with Manga, Detective Conan also saw sales in Video, Music, Books, and Novels.
Nice Flight! took the third spot with 168.93 million yen (≈1.26 million USD) in sales, primarily driven by the sales of its discs. The series sold a total of 8,317 copies within the first five days of release, with 5,158 copies being Blu-ray and 3,159 copies being DVDs. Unlike Ultraman and Detective Conan, Nice Flight! only had Music as its other contributor, with the Video segment being the largest of the two.
