Some analysts and market experts attribute this growth to the positive development of negotiations between Sony and Kadokawa.

The size of the deal was initially thought to be an obstacle to the deal. While Sony was only interested in acquiring the games and anime divisions, Kadokawa reportedly preferred to sell the entire company. However, current optimism suggests that a mutually acceptable solution has been found.
