That's like saying Marvel and DC will go bankrupt just because they are having a slow sales week, it's a bit of an overreaction.

No, they are just on hard times money wise right now. I think they will pull through and get back on their feet. Ultraman is a big part of Japanese pop culture (no pun intended) and I don't think it will go anywhere. Even if Tsuburaya falls, another company like Toei will adopt it.

If you witnessed the Twinkie Crisis in the US before they got brought back, it was because they were a part of many people's childhoods and had been around so long that being without them was unthinkable.

I feel it would be the same for Ultraman if it went away, there have been generations of Ultrafans and their presence in Japan is undeniable. If they lost that, it would be like losing a loved one or an arm and they would want it back.
