The beginning of the holidays always seems to bring the pain, so the Toonami stream is bringing the Pain! It's a bevy of episodes toward the end of the Pain arc, plus a filler episode of Naruto Shippuden!

Been a while since I've done one of these: CURRENT SHOW AVERAGES Total Viewers Dragon Ball Super (Prime Time Premieres) - 835,675 (40 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (Toonami) - 1,005,488 (41 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 926,000 (42 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adv.: Stardust Crusaders - 649,600 (15 episodes) Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans S2 - 572,500 (6 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 744,041 (74 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 499,600 (20 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 808,772 (182 episodes) Outlaw Star - 426,333 (12 episodes) Cowboy Bebop - 405,111 (9 episodes) Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig - 364,333 (3 episodes) Adults 18-49 Dragon Ball Super (Prime Time Premieres) - 423,025 (40 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (Toonami) - 609,756 (41 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 559,405 (42 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adv.: Stardust Crusaders - 404,667 (15 episodes) Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans S2 - 369,333 (6 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 446,230 (74 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 297,650 (20 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 450,683 (165 episodes) Outlaw Star - 269,833 (12 episodes) Cowboy Bebop - 251,667 (9 episodes) Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig - 233,000 (3 episodes) Adults 18-34 (Estimated) Dragon Ball Super (Prime Time Premieres) - 276,632 (38 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 376,500 (42 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adv.: Stardust Crusaders - 270,357 (14 episodes) Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans S2 - 239,000 (6 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 205,000 (18 episodes)

Oh, that nonsense again? Well, I'm sure y'all beat Michigan since you're now up to face Wisconsin, one of the last 2 unbeaten teams, next week! And your cross-state rivals, Ohio, are about to get a serious DRAGON BITE closer to Christmas! But I digress. I dug Countdown as a whole. It may have been somewhat anti-climactic, but it did do something no other TIE has done: leave something unresolved. Even though just in another timeline, S.A.R.A. was destroyed, and T.O.M. ended up floating endlessly through space. Yes, we got the Black Clover promo! I saw the sub first and I found it really intriguing. Results may vary, but hopefully it will do better in the ratings at 11:30 PM than DBZ Kai did, especially because DB Super is one-and-done for the first time ever like most of the rest of Toonami. And, with one exception, for the first time ever, Toonami's airing is now a premiere!

Wow, this convo--good grief!!! Old Kai is apparently this series' Roy Moore! Or maybe its Donald Trump?

Buu has a kinder side, even if he really doesn't understand that being kind to some people and mean to others is not being kind. Fortunately, he gets it later on in Super, even if he was just a hilarious pink worthless blob in the last arc!

We haven't seen the last of him either, I don't think...

This episode first aired on 10/14/17. Buu's antics and that milkman's reactions cracked me up! And now Buu Cribs!

One thing you can say about DBZ KFC Buu: his antics are both hilarious and horrifying!

Guard that thing with your life, Bulma!!!

I laughed my ass off at Buu trying to kiss that girl!

And now for the first episode that originally aired in October!!

Goku giving a cryptic warning right before leaving really caught me off-guard!! Taco Baco - Tinkle outside the Binkle

Hey, you're right! And it was PINK!?

I think it's pretty finite, actually. Babidi is starting to get on Buu's nerves!

Using Buu as a punching bag!

I wonder if Black Clover will get topicals?

What a weird-ass time to premiere a new series! But then again, it happened to Uncut Naruto 5 years ago!

Well, there's our Black Clover promo!!

Yeah, but then no Arthurian reference...

I wonder if any male DBZ fan has ever used "Z Sword" to refer to his peen?

This episode first aired on Toonami on 9/16/17. And it's only beginning 4 minutes late; plus the other one pretty much ended on time. Well done, Toonami!!!

I'm also watching DB Super on the West Coast feed for DOUBLE THE DRAGON BALL!!!

You were saying?? Because there he was!!
