Yeah. Though there is the possibility of Bandai getting the rights to it if it's included in another program or movie special and can be under that banner instead of the anime one.

Depends on how merchandise rights work in Japan, and if it's on direct show, or likeness rights to the character as a whole.

But the anime toy rights are under a different company, which is probably for the best right now anyway due to how much other material Bandai of Japan already produces. While they do great work, we also don't really want a full tokusatsu monopoly under them either. So helping some other companies out isn't a bad thing.

And like I said, depending on how the rights are divided, if the live suit gets used in a future Ultraman crossover thing, or even an R/B special, or otherwise, it may let bandai have some character access through that. Technically speaking, the anime rights and live rights might be two different rights entities, so long as the titling on the packaging isn't the same.
