4Kids to promoted YuGiOh ZeXal at Licensing Expo

[Punk]

As much as everyone hates 4kids, TV Tokyo doesn't have any right to shop the license when they know 4Kids still owns the rights.

That's like your wife cheating, you file for divorce and taking the children and the car before the judge makes a ruling. You can't do that.

4Kids still owns the license. Therefore, they can promote it and air it. Nothing wrong with that until they lose the case.

But if they did lose the case then they'd stop airing it mid way. So there either so sure there going to win the case or there just trying to squeeze every last bit of money out of Yu-Gi-Oh! before they lose.

It's the latter, but I can't be the only one who doesn't think TV Tokyo should sue for THAT money, too, if they are able.

At this point, 4Kids is just doing everything they can to stay alive. What they're doing now is just wrong, but it's probably all they can do if they really think they'll beat this bankruptcy and earn back TV Tokyo's trust. I think they should just realize that they're in over their head and give up the rights like they did with One Piece.

O.k. how is it that they are planning to dub Zexal when the movie of the first 3 series showed a much older Judai/Jaden from season 4 when they haven't even dubbed it yet?!

How is Jaden from "season 4"? And Zexal takes place even farther in the future than 5D's.

he's referring to season 4 of GX which was never released in the us because 4kids didn't dub it

4kids is probably hoping kids won't notice the difference in Judai's personality and they can handwave it.

Also, he wasn't "much" older; a year at most.

I'd be surprised if 4Kids is still in business by 2012.

Honestly not surprising that they are clinging to Yu-Gi-Oh! I mean, they tried to recapture the Yu-Gi-Oh! success with Chaotix and Dinosaur King, but with only mild success. YGO is really their only highly profitable franchise now.
