The lawsuit was settled in March 2012, with ADK/Nihon Ad Systems and TV Tokyo paying 4Kids $8 million. The courts later determined that 4Kids was still entitled to the Yu-Gi-Oh! property. This was found to be in violation of the bankruptcy court, which required the companies to act as though the license dispute wasn't taking place. In the midst of the legal battle and bankruptcy proceedings, Nihon Ad Systems' parent company, ADK, solicited international sales for Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. It alleged the company hid revenue generated by the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise and sought to revoke their license to the property. The event that triggered 4Kids' bankruptcy was a lawsuit filed by Nihon Ad Systems and TV Tokyo in March 2011. The English dub continued with the same production crew and completed its run in February 2015. After the company's assets were sold in a bankruptcy sale in June 2012, production and distribution responsibilities shifted to Konami's (the company behind Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card and video games) newly formed 4K Media. Produced by Gallop and Nihon Ad Systems, the show ran for 156 episodes and 2 specials between April 2011 and March 2014 on TV Tokyo in Japan.įollowing their involvement with the prior Gallop/Nihon Ad System Yu-Gi-Oh! series, New York-based animation distributor 4Kids Entertainment produced an English dub that debuted in October 2011. The story focuses on a young boy named Yuma aiming to restore the memories of a mystical being that resides in him. Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal is the third anime spinoff series in Kazuki Takahashi's Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
