Like Kabuto's Cast-off or the Rouze cards, they're technically toy gimmicks, but I can't really think of them as such. Like, I can't imagine the shows without them, even if there wasn't merchandise.

I can imagine Ryuki without the cards or Gaim without the Lockseeds, they'd just have much simpler belts and such, but I really can't imagine Kabuto without Cast-Off.

Anyone else think about stuff like that? I'm kind of having trouble putting what I'm thinking into words on this one, like trying to explain color to a blind man trouble.

Perhaps the term you're looking for is trademark?

So like, trademark VS gimmick?
