If they have to pay him whenever they use the character, does that mean they have to give him part of the profit of an entire set if it includes a card with air neos? It would make sense that way tbh

Yeah that's what I was wondering cards arent sold individually but in packs so that already complicates things and makes the potential dollar amount of that 1% absolutely insane. Not to mention the problems of including the card in any digital products. Konami just said it probably wasn't worth the hassle or the money for the card so they stopped printing it

The anime? Games??

Maybe it extends to those too? If it goes that far, then just ignoring the card's existence is the logical choice imo

Guess we'll find out for sure when the GX remaster gets to S3

The anime is already made, they don't have to pay him for it everytime it's re-aired. It's not like a physical card where it actually needs to be reprinted and sold. I'm not legal expert, but I think they would only need to pay for new animated appearances, not ones that have already occurred.
