Making up for last week's late delivery. Tonight on Toonami, a certain character from Toriyama's '80s heyday drops by to give Goku and Vegeta their most surprisingly challenging fight yet, with the first mock battle finished the rest of Class 1-A gets their turn, Ide tries to make up for his lack of doing anything last episode by confronting Haruko directly, completely ordinary high schooler Daichi Taira's life turns upside-down when his childhood sweetheart (who's also a popular idol) moves in with him unannounced I DON'T THINK SO, while Jotaro and D'Arby Jr.'s battle wraps up Avdol and Polnareff are met with trouble inside the mansion, Killua faces off with the chimera ant Ikalgo in his underground hideaway, Finral tries to fix Asta's Sister Lily fetish by taking him to pick up chicks more likely to put out, not even Naruto can believe what Sakura plans on doing to Sasuke once she confronts him, Dandy wakes up on a bizarre planet and goes on a journey more existential than even we were expecting, Vicious is causing trouble again and of course Spike and Faye get wrapped up in it again, and Fujiko tries to learn the secrets of the magic world using her powers of seduction. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #69 - Goku vs. Arale!

Dorei-ku the Animation 12

Kuroko's Basketball 46

Rewatched Naruto Shippuden 207 and Inuyashiki Last Hero 5

Well he did mention Gaara and Sasuke in the list of date-ables.

Boys Over Flowers 10

Alrighty then, let's revive this thread with a little quickie. Boys Over Flowers #8: The Nightmare of the Fall Term! #9: Tsukasa Domyoji Snaps! plus FREEZING Episode 09: Godspeed of the East

Blade 12

King Star King, for another.

Ah well, at least we'll always have the YTPs.

Sometimes, the butthurt reaches the point where they try to cyberbully a Steven Universe fanartist into committing suicide - and almost succeeding - just because she drew a fat character thin. They're probably even more butthurt now, seeing how she was right.

I think the more important thing worth noting here is that, based on the lack of its presence from Saturday onward, [as] finally let its license to King of the Hill expire. Now begins the wait to see what basic cable station airs it next...

That's our Jman, making overall assumptions and claiming they're accurate as he always does. :3

I fear for next week when Arale and Hoshiiro Girldrop make their appearance.

If by "him" you mean "Sasuke", then you're half-right.

I typically use Anime News Network for that sort of thing, even if they do lack the whole "character picture" thing.

Blade 11 Joker Game 10

Blade 10 Kuroko's Basketball 45

Either this is on-purpose hyperbole, or you legitimately have no idea what an 8-year old looks like.

Nah, it'd be more of an agenda push than a fun fact if it was.

FUN FACT: Even though I've made it a priority of mine to watch every show airing in premieres on ACTN/Toonami from 2006 on, I actually didn't watch Trinity Blood as it aired. This, of course, was back before I started watching primarily TV-MA programming with BLOOD+ the following year. I caught the first eleven episodes in a rerun, watched the twelfth on [as] Video, and never got around to watching the back half, and even then, I barely remember all that went on in it. Chances are I'd enjoy it were I to rewatch it from the beginning (more than you upstanding people, anyways), but I doubt I'd ever get around to it at this rate, so who knows?

Oh god, I've reached that age where I'm now calling teenagers "stupid idiot children". DRAGON BALL SUPER - It took me a little longer than I'd have liked to realize the OP reverted back to normal. Those ankle-level tracking lights remind me of candles for some reason; must be the dark hallway. I CAN'T READ KATAKANA WHEN IT'S SUBSTITUTING FOR ACTUAL JAPANESE, SHOW. Well, I can't say that I disagree with her intentions. 20 bucks says this is the last time Goku actively has his heart in the right place. Shut up, Gregory. "What could possibly go wrong?" EVERYTHING. Goku isn't exactly known for his manners. "Then I'll have a Destroyer mad at me. Again." Friendly reminder that Marron is in fact capable of legible speech. I'm still amazed they can instant transmit without so much as a single whoosh. FUCK YEAH CRAB LEGS. Wait, why are you urging them to hurry up, wasn't keeping them busy the whole point of taking them out in the first place? Seeing the sky change with every Shenron summon never gets old. That's an overly long name. Sometimes I forget that Oolong's technically a shapeshifter. Also, he saved the world from being taken over by Pilaf. Goku wouldn't understand on an emotional level, but he gets the idea. Pig-scrimination. Of course these three would take advantage of this situation. SUDDENLY TRUNKS. Not even TOM knows what Pop Team Epic is supposed to do. Also, SARA's mis-pronunciations remain absolutely terrible. And Goten too. Come on, people, you all have good points. For someone who's all but retired from fighting, Gohan still has a decent amount of power; at least, enough to sent Pilaf several hundred feet underground with a single step. For all their disagreements, it's nice to see that Pan's health takes top priority. True, those are some fair arguments, but above all else, Goku's reviving him so he'll stop being nagged to HFIL and back about it. You're a gag villain, Pilaf, being blindsided is your whole shtick. Just ask Team Rocket. Speaking of speedbumps, looks like you are one now. In which Bulma fixes everything. IT'S THE PARTYMOBILE. He's so old he's nosebleeding dust. Trunks and Goten, you stupid idiot children. I don't know why, but I'm enjoying seeing Shenron act all OOC like this. THANK YOU COME AGAIN. Wow, the center of the earth really does look all fire and brimstone in DB world. Hey, just because she's building a time machine, it doesn't mean she plans on actually using it like Trunks did. BOOM. Oh well, at least you honestly tried this time, Goku. The only time "by the airport" was ever annoying was when that little cartoon guy popped out of the corner of the screen and said it. DRAGON BALL Z KAI - HAIL SATAN HAIL SATAN. To think, she wouldn't be participating in this had Shenron not fixed her fever. Wait, so does this mean Super takes place six years after Z and not just six months? I am so confused right now with all this timeline stuff. Something tells me that redhead in the sunglasses with a side ponytail is actually transgender. Between Gohan and Ox King, Hebert's got some serious voice differentiation going on. It's like Krillin vs. that fat Indian dude all over again. I still can't get over Goku's teal gi. The Namekians know what's up. And now we introduce you to Trash-Talking Goku. Oh god, he called that kid's mother a testicle. "I wish they would stop taking and fight." You and the rest of us, Present Trunks. When you push Uub's berserk button, it takes a damn long time for it to reset. And then his skin turned red, which I doubt is just some fancy power-up. My dad just said everyone in this show looks like they're having a bowel movement, hence the name, "Dragon Bowel Movement". It's always difficult, commenting on the action in this show. I don't think we're gonna be seeing any of the other fights this episode, as awesome as Goku vs. Uub is. I had a feeling Bakugo's grenade gauntlets weren't just for show. There's the real power-up. Because you can't have a DBZ finale without a Kamehame-ha. Well things certainly died down quickly. You don't need money to train, not when Goku's willing to teach you for free. I swear, that man doesn't give a single fuck, because that's how Saiyans roll. I'm just gonna assume that's a ring-out. Remember, grandkids take top priority. FUCK YEAH CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA. You do realize he stepped outside the ring, don't you, announcer dude? I'm thinking all these reactions will make more sense once Super's finished. And now we're montaging our way through the rest of the match. Oh hey, Roshi's back to nosebleeding actual blood now. YEAHHHHHHHHH. Goku will return... next week on Super. And that's one more long-runner down. "Tiger's Blood is my favorite flavor of Snowcone Slush. Really tastes like Charlie Sheen." MY HERO ACADEMIA - That Bakugo kid has a real superiority complex. BODYSLAM. Oh boy, backstory! That was quick, but we learned something important from that: quirks can make you a real dickbag. I'm really coming to enjoy Iida, to think only weeks ago he was just that smartass kid who told Deku to stop mumbling already. I'd prefer that tape be a little thicker, myself. PLUS ULTRA. FUCK YEAH DEKU. Oh hey, it's my monthly wallpaper. Yesssss take advantage of the building's labyrinthine corridors. Anger issues out the wazoo, indeed. HE'S GONE ROGUE. That sure was a painful six episodes ago, and even now I still feel a twinge about it. Oh boy, more backstory! The birth of an ego right there. Children are such cruel creatures, especially the tiny ones. Fuck you, tiny Bakugo. Serves you right, for not watching where you're going! EEEEEEGOOOOOO. Great job, Uraraka, that means you're more useful than half of the female protagonists in shounen today. Oh god, Iida's villain voice is great. Being invested in something really saps your ability to make amusing comments, doesn't it? Bakugo doesn't care how many people are in his way, as long as Deku is one of them. I bet you anything her headphones being locked on is what's responsible for Hidomi's sudden burst of emotiveness. I'm enjoying watching these two interact. Because you can't have a villainous speech without a little alliteration. Thank you for interfering, All Might, if only through the radio. Props to the dude on Twitter who said that one girl's hero outfit looks like a standard American clubbing outfit. By the way, I don't blame that midget for staring at her cleavage. I'm surprised Deku's tracksuit didn't get burned from that blast. Bird boy's voice is a lot deeper than I imagined. That's not a very manly run either. So they're both idiots, I can buy that. FUCK YES I FINALLY RECOGNIZED YOU SAY RUN. Punch that ceiling, Deku! This whole sequence is just amazing. YOU GOT SERVED. You may have injured both arms, but at least it was a sacrifice worth making. VICTORYYYYYYYYY. Oh, so that was Todd as that one daycare worker. FLCL PROGRESSIVE - As I expected, Hidomi's more emotive than ever before. And her headphones are all super-bouncy too... Oh hey, it's Naota's cat. Huh, so that's the kanji for Hibajiri. Wouldn't have guessed. I have a bad feeling about that random helicarrier. First off, like hell Haruko's 16, and second, I enjoy her frustration muchly. Also, SHIT COUNT: 1. And so marks the beginning of Ide's emo phase. Oh god, she's got her own One Piece laugh now. I don't like these new age hippies and... whatever it is they're doing during off-hours. Oh, so we're takin' a trip inside Medical Mechanica this week, ah? No way, Marco's got an actual job? She saw the music, and now so can you! Engrish in English, and here I thought I've seen everything. Oh, the helicopter's just amusement park ride delivery. Well then, I have a bad feeling about the ride then. This bird screams louder than Asta on a good day. And Aiko's still doing her rent-a-date service, good for her. I went on one of those viking rides once; the closest I'll ever get to voluntarily getting on a roller coaster. Oh my god they've done Canti up like that Angel that's under NERV HQ, guess that answers the press release's question as to where he went. Ah, so they're trying to reverse engineer N.O. portals, that's a novel idea. She really does have what it takes to be a pro (a real phenomenon). I doubt he's really her father, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see about that. I love these two shady guys, no homo. Something bad's gonna happen to little Marco, and this time it won't be Trump's fault. There's 106 miles to Mabase, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's day out, and we're wearing sunglasses. Let's roll. Wait a second, is that Hidomi's mom among all those opera hippies? DRIVE-BY KIDNAPPING, NO STOPS NECESSARY. Oh, so he's just being turned upside down for part two of the ride. Clearly the solution is to hit the outer hull really hard, until it makes an opening. Oh Hidomi, you so whimsical now. You don't understand, it's Haruko who wants Atomsk, not the other way around. And then Ide's brain became a black hole. Wait, so Canti doesn't know what's going on? THE FLOWERPOT, DOCTOR EYEPATCH, IT WORKS! "I've always been like this~." Sounds like a Wham Line, and yet I'm not really that surprised. And then she took Ide on a joyride through the sky. Twenty bucks says the "end of everything" Ant-Man dreamed of isn't the one he's thinking of. So this is what it looks like inside. Looks kinda spine-y. ...Oh, they're talking about Atomsk again. Haruko's got the lust for power real bad. Really really bad... The more Hidomi talks, the more I wonder if what she's saying is legitimate or nonsense. But as always, you never know with FLCL. She almost took a suicide dive there. Welp, there goes the brains of the operation. SPINNING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND. Aw crap, does that mean she's back to normal now? "Overflowing" is a phrase Mamimi made up that I personally believe Haruko adapted to refer to the feeling one gets when their N.O. activates. So in a way, Naota overflowed for the first time by the new definition the moment Mamimi did by the original definition. (This show is so deep. ) Oh no, it's the Invisible Hand of Fate! Oh wait, it's just Jinyu. And Haruko also, it appears. FUCK YEAH THIRD EYE. Truly they are the Red and Blue Oni. And now Marco's got the N.O. Finally, we're gettin' to see that 40% of the animation budget after the red herring that was episode 2. Pwned by structural support. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S THE ITANO CIRCUS. This whole fight scene is nothing short of amazing, I fucking love it. Oh crap, that hole doesn't look good. But at least Little Marco was saved. You never break your fall on someone below the belt, but Hidomi didn't know that, so I'll forgive any potential infertility Ide experiences into adulthood. If you love them, set them free. Jinyu understands that, but Haruko doesn't. Well... that's definitely a resolution. OR MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FALSE FLAG HOLY SHIT HARUKO. And now her hair's back to normal. Okay, so now that Haruko's... Haruko and Hidomi's still not going along with her nonsense, where do we go from here? Ooh, art shift next week. Hopefully this doesn't end in a poorly shoehorned-in Rick & Morty pastiche. PILLOWS MUSIC - "My Foot", "The Third Eye", "Nobaranai Taiyou". JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - Last time, we witnessed the birth of the Let's Play genre, two decades after the fact. Welp, so much for Kakyoin winning. That doll is creepy, but at least it isn't moving as if a computer AI was animating it. Those sound like some damn funny ways to die. Into the peanut gallery of failure he goes. "We should be kicking Gepetto's ass!" Someone put that line over a clip from Pinocchio, now. VIDEO BASEBALL. Damn, Jotaro really has shit luck when it comes to picking games to play against the D'Arbys. OH THAT'S A BASEBALL! Naturally he'd go for offense. Never swing the bat too early, it's the only thing worse than not swinging at all. Goddammit Jotaro you're such a gaming amateur. LOSER YOU'RE A LOSER. I have no idea what happens after this, even after all the spoilers I've ingested, so it should be a hell of a fun time seeing things play out like this. DOUCHEBAG OF A PRICK. Now that's one ridiculous simile, but what else to expect from Joseph? Turns out it was all just power gauging. "Every time his bat swung, fireworks would go off in my head." I'm still having a hard time believing that this show is actually airing on American television, on my American television! The Joestars are very quick learners, take a look at Jonathan and Joseph. FOUR HOMERS IN A ROW. I'd guess it's because having your soul stolen by your own family would feel pretty weird and also kinda gay. Bros before hoes, motherfucker. Nobody expects a pitcher change! We One Outs now. There are STANDs out there with weirder powers than simple mind-reading, I don't think it's that far-fetched. "Oh, would you look at that? It's my turn at bat." BULLHORN. Oh my, he's going for a dead ball! Damn Star Platinum's got a fine booty, no homo. I wouldn't want D'Arby to read my mind, not after my last comment. I've got an idea; quick, find the nearest roll of tin foil and start making hats out of it! Huh, speaking of hats. GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO. Holy crap the episode's over already, and we didn't even get the ending theme? What is going on this week??? HUNTER x HUNTER - Sounding kinda confident there, Killua. Guess that's what happens when your brain's not on mind-control needle. Guess I was wrong about them running into Cheetu again after all. I have no idea why Hagya changed his name, but I'm not big on that decision, admittedly. And now shlee's saying "meow" as a verbal tic, nyanderful. I hate brainwashed citizens. Dang, what I'd give to try out one of those beetle phones. Don't deadname the red tiger man. Yeah, I doubt you'll succeed in taking it out. I kinda lost track of the shift from conversation point A to point B, but is that new power he was promised going to be used to take out Killua, or for something else entirely? Hey, that cave under the tree root looks pretty comfy, I wouldn't mind hiding in there. HUMAN BOULDER. This cannon fodder seems to creatively designed to be one-offs. Maybe that's another one of Togashi's red herrings? Well that explosion definitely wasn't sudden or anything. Is it really a fart if it technically came from above his asshole? "They're shooting bugs at me now?" Mr. Neighbor's House 2: now with 100% more nightmare fuel and WTFery! (Seriously, WTF did I just watch.) I understand those number positions, but only barely. That's some big-ass ammo. Holy shit dude stop fucking singing. That's a dangerous way of going about it, but kinda smart too. Thank you, narrator, for real-time filling us in on that. I mean seriously, can this dude only talk by singing outside of affirmative interjections? Meanwhile, Gon's making his own smart moves. Hmm, so Chameleon Dude wants to work with him. Something tells me he was expecting Gon to not trust his very real insistence that he wasn't trying to deceive him. These ants are getting more human by the day. IT'S A TRAP~. Thank you, Killua, for finger pistoling that singing fucker's head. THEREIN LIES THE REAL TRAP. Hell's certainly a lot wetter than I imagined. Now we've got a speciesist in the cast, nyanderful. BLACK CLOVER - Huh, that narration went by much faster than I expected. Crazy yandere science girl is still surprisingly cute for a villain, like Shizuku before her. It helps that she's got black hair and glasses just like Shizuku. Kill the Wizard King? Surely you jest! Interesting question: would Asta's anti-magic work on the Wizard King, or is he just too stronk for it to be simply dispelled as if it were nothing? That light's coming from that fruity motherfucker right in front of you. Page 27: Light (Yagami). Huh, guess they won't be meeting the enemy leader after all, damn I'm bad at episode descriptions for this show. "Fascinating and troubling, but fascinating nonetheless." Of course they left behind the most indistinguishable one. A medical ward so big, that the waiting room is the great outdoors itself. Well, at least Mr. Dessert Obsession is honest about Asta's loudness. Instant Transmission, they're ripping off DBZ now. And it's nice to see Noelle's still keeping up her tsundere act, and less sarcastically so that she's stopped calling him "insect". Klaus, meanwhile, is more of a reverse tsundere. The bird missed you too, in its own way. I must not have noticed he had a pendant on, if I ever rewatch one of the previous episodes I'd better check that out. "This is what I get for running off to chill in the enemy's hideout after leaving it completely empty like a bunch of idiots." Man, fuck Noelle's immediate family. But at least the older brother's heart's in a decent place, I guess. You were definitely useless, half the time you complained about not getting to eat your fucking gelato. Everybody and their brother wants to be the Wizard King, and I don't really blame them. Hey, Asta likes to be well-acquainted with his rivals. Take a look at Yuno, his rivalry with him is based out of familiarity as much as it respect. Dude, you've got a long way to go before you're on the HxH narrator's level. That's some fierce loyalty those two have. He's gonna go full Ladd Russo on him the next time they meet. And like that, Asta now has a yandere love interest. Wizard Jesus dude what the hell happened to your arm. Not only is he a terrorist, but also a charismatic cult leader, like Osama Bin Laden before him. Even to the random loli, Noelle prefers to keep things tsundere. CHARMYJACKED. I'm guessing matcha went into that green cupcake. No one ever suspects the tiny speck of dust. So shrinking herself is just one of her powers, then. "I'd know that yell anywhere." We all would, Klaus, we all would. They grew up together from birth, that's how they know each other. Still a better rivalry than Naruto and Sasuke. Hmm, so Magna's not the only one calling him a Rastafarian. This is the most subtly disguised harem show either. Sounds like one hell of an adventure, if you're hyping it up that much. And that sounds like one hell of an attack too. Yami and Vanessa definitely look the part of Team Dad and Alcoholic Mom respectively. PROMOTIONS! Weirdest femdom ever. LOSE AN ARM AND GET STRONGER, SUCH IS THE WAY OF THE CRIMSON LION KING. Next week, the resident ladies' man is taking Asta to get laid. But will there be any naughty nuns there to satisfy his impossible fetish? NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Wait, where'd all the Zetsu clones come from? That's some ugly bait he set up. It's amazing how stark the difference in direction quality between Danzo's scene and Kisame's is. Very interesting, if I do say so myself. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE~. I don't know what I can't take more seriously, Kisame's sword being sentient or the tailed beast cloak looking way too bubbly for even special chakra. So much for that trap. OR MAYBE NOT. Damn, he just got D'Arby'd. The Mist knows how bullshit eye removal and replacement is, that's why they prevent that from happening at any cost. I unironically love Bee's terrible rapping. Never understimate the power of the Bee, Octopus, and Bull combined. Sweet Ninja Jesus, how fucked up is that wound. Apparently not enough to cancel out his healing factor. Floodin' the whole forest like a madman. Now this is suicide diving. Thank you, Mizukage. Wow, this show actually managed to fool me there. That said, I like how they did the whole "mind control voices" deal where those who are in on it hear the voice of the possessor while those who aren't hear the voice of the possessed. She's smarter than she lets on, that's proof that she's one of the best. BITCHSLAP OH SNAP. Never underestimate the power of the Mizukage's bitchslaps. I bet you anything next episode will have guest animation from Titmouse. The correct term is "fishman", with is a One Piece rip-off, by the way. This is a cute chart, to tell the truth. "Thank you, smarter half!" Fuck you, Kisame. FOO YA FOO. PERFECT LANDING, 10/10. Don't call him an octopus. That shark-man looks like he's wearing jeans. Dang, it's over already. Samehara's gone rogue! A sword without backtalk is a good sword, as far as he's concerned. Weird, I'd have expected the Raikage's entry to be a little louder than this. DOUBLE LARIAT. And that right there was the end of Kisame. I think that was his best rhyme yet. SPACE DANDY - JYB and Ian Sinclair need to be in more shows together.

Speaking of One Piece, a recent interview had Oda reveal that Nami is only truly gentle to children and beautiful women, and everyone immediately assumed that meant she was gay.

Now that was amazing.
