I'm not shocked at all.
In fact, I find this rather hilarious.
Especially as it's just targeting 4Kids.

You know what's so hilarious about the bankruptcy filing?

4Kids indirectly admitted that the lawsuit from TV-Tokyo and ADK would have destroyed the company. So they filed for bankruptcy to save their asses.

4Kids, just throw in the towel already. You are the butt of so many jokes, don't dig your grave deeper.

Two comments. First, I gotta agree on the many statements that state Yu-Gi-Oh as a cursed franchise. Upper Deck began a downward spiral over the counterfeit suit brought against them over the franchise, and now 4kids is getting the same thing. Also seems to indicate that TV Tokyo might be trying to get Funimation to handle it from now on, which probably won't work as the history shows bad burns.

And it does kinda suck for 4kids, as their Toonzaki website is actually something I go to regularly. It was doing a decent job of working with other companies to give a solid anime portal for us. Where else could I go from watching Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple to SRWOG: The Inspectors with that ease?

Even in death, 4Kids clings like a lamprey.

Additionally, it claimed that several of ADK and TV Tokyo's audit findings "arose more than six years ago" and have therefore passed beyond the statute of limitations.

What, are we now living on Zola? Can I evade arrest for killing someone so long as I wind up escaping from the cops for 3 days?

So in the end how did the Zexal issue turn out?

Well, ZeXal is now being dubbed and aired on 4kids TV, so I assume they worked it out.
