Line 10:
** As of 2015, Discotek Media has got the rights to the 4Kids dub of ''[[Sonic X]]'', and will start making DVD and Blu-ray re-releases!
* [[Missing Episode]]: They did this to some of their dubbed anime. The various ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' [[Sequel Series]] had a few, and their dub of ''[[One Piece]]'' is infamous for throwing out entire ''story arcs''. This, combined with 4Kids' refusal to release uncut versions of their shows (for the most part), not only created [[Plot Holes]], but made it so that these episodes would only stop being missing once [[Funimation]] got the rights.
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: 4Kids was known for paying its actors very well (at least in relation to other dubbing studios, even higher than the typical union-rates for doing anime voice work). This is why you'll never hear any NYC voice actor express regret for working on a 4Kids series. The scripts may be crap, and the editing jobs may be a joke, but
* [[No Export for You]]: Due to their practice of making Youtube block certain videos from being played outside the U.S & Puerto Rico
* [[Old Shame]]: Some of the employees are 4Kids weren't happy with what they did to ''One Piece'' since they were forced into dubbing it against their will.
* [[Production Posse]]: Voice actors aside, they've used [[Dong Woo Animation]] and [[Bardel Entertainment]] for their non-dubbed work.
* [[Star-Derailing Role]]: While the legal mess with ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' may have proved a [[Creator Killer]], their dub of ''[[One Piece]]'' was what brought down their reputation. That reputation wasn't spotless before, but it would never fully recover after that. The aforementioned legal mess was simply the final nail in the coffin. Though to be fair, 4Kids wanted nothing to do with ''One Piece'', as they were well aware of how un-family friendly it was, but they were forced into dubbing the show by Toei, as they would only license other shows to 4Kids as part of a packaged deal.
