But you must admit that merchandise sales have been laughable so far...

It's actually been on a steady up-tick since 2011, and last fiscal year in particular (linked above) blew all the recent years out of the water.

I wouldn't call any of that "laughable". 2010 and before, sure. Not certainly not the last year.

"Tranks" is still alive and well, I see. :mrgreen:
Oh person who names the png images at Toei.

I'm happy to finally see more of Gokû Black's outfit.

Do you think Bandai, Toei and others did a good job in the way they handled the business? Their financial filings include quarterly and annual reports, annual information forms, management proxy circulars, prospectuses and material change reports. As required by Japanese financial legislation, these documents are filed with the Japanese Securities Administrators. For most industrial companies the financial result is negative, as the interest charged on borrowing generally exceeds income from investments (dividends). If a company records a positive financial Result over several periods, then one has to ask how much capital is invested at which interest rate, and if this capital would not bear a greater yield if it were invested in the company's growth. In case of constant, positive financial results a company also has to deal with increasing demands for special distributions to its shareholders.

In Dragon Ball's case, this can be applied to the following: Merchandising, tv rights and other intellectual properties.

I have no idea what you're going on about. At the end of the day, the Dragon Ball franchise is stronger and more profitable now than it has been in many years.
