Yona of the Dawn 15

Tonight on Toonami, Goku realizes his ki control's been all out of whack since the Universe 6 tournament, Fat Buu finds himself facing off against the personification of his inner demons, Black Clover does the impossible right off the bat and adapts an entire episode out of a single manga panel, Dan of Steel continues trying Jotaro's patience while Kakyoin and Polnareff rush to save Joseph from the Lovers' wrath, Arbrau and the SAU finally reach a peace agreement in the aftermath of their little border war, you'll probably wanna watch the first episode of Hunter x Hunter 1999 before watching this one, Lupin is coerced into doing a job in Japan with Fujiko's life on the line, Sakura remembers that time she got sick with the ninja flu, a terrorist sets the Outlaw Star up the bomb (complete with time limit) in possible reference to that movie about speedy public transit, Spike looks for clues about his ex-girlfriend's whereabouts while he's supposed to be looking for Faye and the money she took off with, and Togusa takes a break from investigating the Individual Eleven to instead look into the mysterious death of a would-be blackmailer. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #43 - Goku's Energy is Out of Control!?

It's a Christmas marathon, Ben, calm your man-titties.

Even I'm confused by this, and I'm not easy to confuse.

That's a rebuttal I can accept.

If *only* Toonami was losing viewers, wouldn't Family Guy's ratings be much higher?

Yeah... you're full of shit.

Ratings be damned, I still want my Lupin marathon. [i also want more smileys]

The answer's a little more complicated than "bad ratings killed One Piece". More like... "mediocre ratings failing to justify the heightened cost of another batch of episodes killed One Piece". Ironically, the ratings only sunk to their new lows after One Piece was removed. (Though we all know this year's April Fools stunt was what really did it.) Regardless, your reply proves that, even after someone literally told you via proxy to quit obsessing over ratings, you refuse to leave a dead horse unbeaten.

Well now... at the very least, I can't say that I hate this. I don't really have any reason to, even if I despised marathons.

Lazzo punching his own nuts, or Demarco's?

You fail at judging anime.

Black Clover getting that low on premiere night is hilarious, in a way. I bet Demarco's punching himself in the nuts over this one. Ah well, at least Lupin didn't dip below 500k this time.

I'd direct you to two years ago and Akame ga KILL!, but I won't, assuming "lives to the end" is also one of your criteria. FUN FACT: This episode of Outlaw Star premiered in Japan the exact same day that Bebop started airing on Japanese television. Same station too. Ironically, Outlaw Star was a late-night show while Bebop was early evening. If I had watched this episode when I was younger, this would've awoken my femdom fetish long before Puni Puni Poemy.

Ah, kids these days can't appreciate the music of the '80s. Hell, before long they won't be appreciating the music of the '90s. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - I'm always just a little taken aback whenever I see Kankuro without his headdress on. Judging from Sasuke's presence and the length of Sakura's hair, I assume this took place around the 100s of the original series. See, whenever people in this show are praising Sasuke for being the best, it's mostly just Sakura and not everyone besides Naruto and Hinata. 2DEEP4U. Technically Sasuke would be the rotten egg, since he and Kakashi were the last ones to get there. Gaara sounds like he has smoker's lung. Naruto was just testing his reflexes, that's all. "The rooster crows at midnight", or so they say. Such sassiness. Eh, these guys' masks aren't doing anything for me. Basement-level and top-floor bathrooms are the best bathrooms. Oh wow, it took us this long to get to the episode title? Because these auditors are ninja, and ninja wear masks. Surely they taught you that in ninja school alongside all that wizardry crap. OH BAD OH BAD OH BAD. Turns out they're actually the Sand's answer to the ANBU. Hey, remember Haku? NARUTO PUNCH. And then a bunch of random puppets attacked, I guess. Gaara is unimpressed by your attempts to keep him holed up. Fuck yeah, stick-fighting. He calls that move the "Gaara Gun". In the end, the mission was a complete success. Heh, the last cup found its way back on its own. Even in filler, Naruto has the one-up on Black Clover. OUTLAW STAR - I assume Swanzo was one of these Korbonites, but that aside, when did I hear that name before? Super-friendly lizard people. Delicious brown cat-people are the best alien species. Nice, they set up physical shop anew. Jim's face is looking awfully '90s this week. "It's only Aisha," they say. It's okay, Aisha, at least you tried. Hey, it's less of a chump job than what Aisha offered, I'd take it. "At least I'm here." Apparently the lesson here is to never take jobs from disgruntled ice cream men. GENEPWNED. I love this lizard-person's voice. Cactus-y things. NEVER FEAR, AISHA IS HERE~. Oh hey, Suzuka finally came back from her weekend off. Meanwhile, Gene's apparently going out with that glasses chick from the race registry now. I gotta be honest, is nobody gonna point out that there's a store there that goes by the name "Spit Sperm" of all things? Ice cream so average, it's amazing. What a menacing cactus. "Kelp is on the way." BOOOOOOOOOO. Didn't I just see that bump before? Damn, that's a frighteningly huge bug. Even Aisha's pitch-poor singing is adorable as hell. SUDDENLY SPIDERWEBS. That sound effect sounded awfully familiar. THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM. Time to ride the buggalo! "You know you're really beginning to bug me." They did that on purpose, didn't they? Everybody's jealous that Melfina can stand that noise. His legs are moving on their own! Oh shit the cactus took over his mind. Cactus bastard. You say you're trying, but are you actually doing anything? Melfina's gonna kick some cactus ass. Is it wrong for me to say I want Melfina to stomp on me like that? Aisha, you glory hog. You may not have seen any money, but at least it was an interesting day. Apparently 500 won buys you a shitton of snack food. The Edit list guy had no idea what Gene meant when he said he could've "scored", did he? Wait... Didn't I hear those exact words before? Eh, they make less sense coming out of Suzuka than they do out of Aisha. When all else fails, tug like there's no tomorrow. COWBOY BEBOP - You are watching recently uncovered found footage from the perspective of the Lovers STAND. Dammit why did the animators have to make Ed's pants so shiny? You gotta love strip dice. WHEN CAMERA ANGLES ARE MENTIONED, THE PANTS COME OFF. It's weird seeing Ein with sclera. Random refrigerators: don't trust 'em. That's a creative way to load your dice. Digital animation looked so out-of-place in the late '90s. Dragon Balm: the cure for Super AIDS. You gotta love new age medicine. MAGGOT COUNT: 1. "That's enough, I gotta drink this stuff." BULLHORN. Wow, he wasn't kidding about the weird mark. Bebop knew Ebola long before the mass media hyped it up. AI-YAH. Oh no, now the Lovers is going after Faye, and while she's taking a soak, no less! We full-on horror movie now. Is it also wrong for me to say that this promo makes me wanna watch that specific episode of the Jellies? "If you see a stranger, follow him~." Best lesson, all others need not apply. That Ed face on the spinning thing. It mortally wounded Ein, this just makes me hate Dan of Steel even more. That's three down now. I don't think I'd hate beef that burned up. GET YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66. Turns out the Lovers was actually the Smooze, now we're really fucked. I have learned that the only way to defeat the Smooze... is to burn it. And then literal fridge horror. OHHHH SHIT. Never mind, "don't leave things in the fridge" is the best lesson. Ed saved us all, but only after it was too late. Then, hundreds of thousands of years later, Meow ate the rest of that goo monster and the universe was at peace for another week. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2ND GIG - IIRC, this was the first Ghost in the Shell episode across both seasons that I watched all the way through, so this one holds a special place in my heart. Goddammit Beau Billingslea, is there any anime from the mid-2000s your voice isn't in? I understand taking the credit for their actions on that joint mission, but now it seems like Goda just wants to steal away Section 9's glory for himself. Even if he deserves it, Meloni doesn't deserve this treatment from the lady cops. I love that I'm able to understand this show now, but I hate that I keep having to replay certain parts in order to get everything. One does not just "download" enlightenment. Shit, how much time did she spend meditating, if it went from bright to dark like that? All in all, this is what I love about Toonami. A mix of good and bad that I can talk about on equal footing with people who may or may not think the same way I do.

No. No, Elfie. No. The ending theme was actually the opening theme. And in some cases where the OP airs as the ED for the first episode, the credits scroll over a black screen. I've seen this before. So no. You're wrong. Stop being wrong.

What a way to start off this week's recordings: a bunch of Amazon delivery boxes singing a Supertramp song that I personally thought the Goo Goo Dolls did better. TOONAMI BUMPAGE - Hmm, so the aesthetic stays the same but TOM's design and the actual bumper content has changed. I can accept that as a consequence of Countdown, despite it being the second biggest Toonami original letdown behind Sand Whale and Me. And thus begins the long journey to a place that can adequately repair TOM's present imperfections... DRAGONBALL SUPER - Beerus has gotten so tsundere since he fought Goku. It's funny how the characters who are so irrelevant compared to everyone else are just flying around. Oh hey, meidos. Smart move, we don't need Buu fucking things up for everyone again, not in this half-hour. I had a feeling Monaka would say his delivery job is part-time. Piiza's voice remains her least attractive quality, even when appealing to my "full bodysuit" fetish. Well that screws everything up for everybody. Goddammit Chi-Chi not everything is about you. Wow, Vegeta's really on the ball there. It's really hard to comment on certain things when said comments involve spoilers. Your Destructiveness. I gotta say, that's a clever plan. Between me not figuring out what this kid's gender is and them not knowing what a computer is, I think this Apple commercial is one of the worst yet. Baller soundtrack, though. Goku's bad at the maths. Oh hey, Chiaotzu's finally being relevant for once. Is that the invisible force field I saw in that one episode of Pete & Pete? Ah yes, the dreadful Solar Flare. I have no idea what a "slay queen" is, nor do I want to know, but I think Bulma has all the makings of one. Fuck yeah, waterfalls. SUCKERPUNCH. As much of a failure as he might be, I just can't hate Yamcha. HEADSPINNER. Piccolo's acting skills/lack thereof are hilarious. Now they're talking about how wearing full-body costumes and playing a different persona in them is a positive outlet for negative frustrations, is this episode trying to appeal to me outside of being fun in general? Whis is enjoying this so much. Oh hey, Puar's being useful too. So how long until Marron does something, or at least says an actual word? Oh goddammit Nappa Yamcha. Thank Super Kami Dende Goku's too dumb to know he's been tricked. Meanwhile, Gohan's so irrelevant he can't even afford to show up for filler. DRAGONBALL Z KAI - Last time, Mr. Satan saved the rest of the world from Buu's wrath through diplomacy, only for those damned Australians to ruin everything like they always do. BUU 200% MAD. [!!! !!! !!! !!!] HERCULE OF THE FUNK~. And they say Mr. Satan isn't strong at all, when he's only not as strong as advertised. Well that fixed itself surprisingly easy. Piccolo is way too dour. Also, since when it replenishing your thirst "goofing off"? Never fuck around with strong, recently-independent women, especially when they're DBZ characters. Oh Elder Kai, you're incorrigible. All right, so what happens to screw things over if the sniper shooting Buu's dog didn't do the trick? "I'm gonna beat the shit out of the King of the Pirates, believe it!" Hmm, looks like somebody dropped the soap. That's an interesting transition they made. YUMMY YUMS. Oh fuck it's that Australian douche again. MR. SATAN USED INSTANT TRANSMISSION! IT... had zero effect. Shooting Buu's dog is one thing, but doing the same to Mr. Satan is going too far! It's like Buu knows shit's about to go down. That ominous looking cloud reminds me of cotton candy. You've met THICC Buu... now meet STICC Buu! And that's when Australia learned to treat foreign wildlife as dangerously as they treat their own. Get out if this show while you still can, Sean Connery! You say an epic battle, I see an epic staring contest. Huh, my local waterbed place sells Rick & Morty T-shirts now. Guess [adult swim]'s advertising reaches have finally made it here. BLACK CLOVER - Not five seconds in, and we're already off to a good start. "The Far-Remote Village of the Hague". Okay, the random baby kick caught me off guard. I'm honestly at a loss as to whether or not using magic for medial tasks makes you lazy. This dude doesn't know that nuns are supposed to be celibate, does he? Still, can't blame him for wanting to marry her, I can see why he does. And then she drowned him. Fuck you, random children. Wait, was the text on those arrows always in English? Because seems like an awful lot of effort for simple translation. Yuno knows what's up. Fuck you again, small child. Asta's secret move is one trillion sit-ups. Man, fuck everybody in this show besides Asta and Sister Lily. Well, at least he's making up for his lack of magic by getting physically fit. Man, fuck these rich assholes. Old Wizard Dude is sick and tired of having to deal with multiple decades' worth of failures, apparently. Kinda liking all these grimoire comparisons. "Why is mine so tiny?" Because your dick's too tiny to deserve proper compensation. This is probably the closest we're ever gonna get to seeing Gundam 00 on Toonami. Speaking of which, TOM has excellent taste, choosing Soma Pieres as his support. Man, fuck everybody in this room besides Asta and Sister Lily. Yuno's such a show-off. All these people being mean to the main character is giving me a migraine. "I'll prove anyone can be great, even a poor commoner who was abandoned at birth." The same could be said about your brother. As much as I dislike Yuno, these guys are definitely worse, I hope they get their asses beat. Thank you, random conspicuous CGI chain guy. And I mean holy crap, those chains are so obviously CGI it hurts just as much as my migraine towards everyone laughing at Asta. DYNAMIC ENTRYYYYYYYY. It really says something about my opinions when out of all the people in this show I want to punch, Asta isn't one of them. FUCK YOU YUNO YOU'RE NOT HELPING. Kick him in the stones, Asta! Turns out his grimoire was running late after all. BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL. I don't hate this, but I can't deny Angel's claim that it's a dumpster fire. 6/10, only slightly more tolerable than Nyaruko-san. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - WE'RE ON A HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE. Mmm, Middle Eastern hamburger. He said it costs so-and-so yen even though they're in Pakistan, this is already shady as fuck. Goddamn this whole scene is wonderful. Meanwhile, Enyaba's got some serious death-glaring going on. And then death by secret tentacle parasites. Ladies and gentlemen... your antagonist for the evening. Sorry to say it, but DIO duped you, and he duped you HARD. Well so much for interrogating her. "Stop trying to act cool," says someone more experienced at the craft. Fuck you and your bullshit powers, Steely Dan. "Say something unfortunate happens." Unfortunate happens. I completely understand Jotaro's anger. U MAD? Oh my god, a giant rock! I may have voiced my hated for every Black Clover character besides Asta and Sister Lily twice already, but Steely Dan's worse than all of those pricks. Yes, we all remember when Wamuu and Esidisi put their poison rings inside your body. JOESTAR SECRET TECHNIQUE TIME! If he's Dan of Steel, does that make Jotaro Zodd or Batfleck? Tog Hoyer sounds like it's important, should I know what that is? Oh yeah, Polnareff doesn't know Joseph can use Hermit Purple on TVs. We Fantastic Voyage now? I hope Jotaro drowns this guy. Fuck you sideways, Steely Dan. OHHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOD! Jotaro wishes he drowned him while he had the chance. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - Now stab him one more time for good measure! I've heard there was a rabbit on the moon, but a snake too? The death flags in this show are way too obvious. LEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOY. You dumbass kids... I always liked the idea of bleeding mechs, as far back as Evangelion and Eureka seveN. Well, so much for the guy who got introduced this season. Was it ever explained why he and Akihiro have the same last name? SUDDENLY MIKAZUKI. Sometimes I feel like mecha pilots die way too easily. I completely forgot he was a member of that group of human debris that Akihiro's actual brother was a part of, that probably explains the last name. In the end, the death flags were for the wrong person. Blonde Kirito and shonen Guts are gonna kick some ass. What is it about twintails that make you wanna mate with someone? I swear, they're like brown skin in that way... Fuck you, power surge, for forcing me to fast-forward through the first half the episode instead of making my recording pick up where it left off. DEATH FROM ABOVE! As usual, there's little room for words when there's a whole lotta action going on. And that's when Hush realized how much his life sucks. Thank god they're fighting in an abandoned area. SEN-I-SOU-SHITSU! I feel like Akihiro survived that too easy. Mikazuki's bored just sitting around, doing nothing but eating Mars pods. Which means it's time to shoot something. Mikazuki: [hands Takaki gun] "Just in case." He may be an official pilot, but he wishes he wasn't. Always trust McGillis to have chocolate on him. I don't know who that is, but thanks for telling me. At least Takaki got to go back home to his cute imouto. HUNTER x HUNTER - Oh good, they're allies. Tell me more about this "punishment" you speak of... Thank god someone finally said "I caught the Bomber", I was so disappointed when that didn't happen during the fight. Congratulations, Gon, you deserved this win. Oh hey, I remember those guys from the beginning of the game. Does that mean they're the secret final bosses? Maybe not. Token black dude survived the game, but can he survive Hisoka's Wild Ride? REPLY TO ANGEL: "Do you still have that weird gross slug thing?" I don't think so, it was implied to have disappeared after the whole "I caught the Bomber" routine. Ooh, a shota butler, classy. Nothing says diversity than a British black woman in a mostly white family. Turns out the King of Greed Island is an otaku. He looks like a mix of Togashi, Nabeshin, and Hiro Nohara. This guy is fun, I like him. Yes, yes, Ging's a jerk, ain't gonna work, everybody knows that already. Of course Togashi would spell it silly like that. (According to him, Chrollo Lucilfer's name is actually spelled "Quwrof Wrlccywrlir".) Fuck yeah, parade feast and karaoke time. Of course he'd go for the Paladin's Necklace. Wait, if those two girls and that shota butler are all old friends of Ging's, does that mean they're all legal? Speaking of which, Bisky is the best legal loli. You gotta love cheating the system. NIGG? Sounds obscene. Neat, they pronounced it differently to avoid accidental racism. That's a good interpretation. The friendship between two boys is a beautiful thing. Bisky's a better mother than Ging is a father. Damn you, cliffhanger! "There's a contract in every cigarette. Well, not literally, but... you get the idea." LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE - Fuck yeah, '40s newsreels. Oh my, the Fiat is driving away on its own! Or maybe it's just Lupin, as per usual. Don't you mean, let's go for a walk on the wild side? Now that's what I call a slow-speed car chase. This old man is awfully grouchy. She looks surprisingly youthful for an old lady on her deathbed. He drive-by lit that guy's cigarette. I still can't figure out what this guy's deal is, maybe this flashback will help me out. What a beautiful view. That was certainly a romantic flashback, but that only explained half of my questions. My house could really use an old-fashioned push broom, Swiffer wet-jets do jack shit about tracked-up cat litter. SUDDENLY FUJIKO. "I want a divorce." "Me too, I'm starving!" "I've never been in a car chase this safe before!" Tell that to the guys who arrested O.J. Simpson. Holy shit, now that is a twist. Goddammit Zenigata, why are you so damn good at your job. Did that one cop literally say "stop in the name of the law"? I repeat, what is this guy's problem? Lemme guess, he's heading to the view from the flashback. Ah yes, as I expected. STUDIO CAMEO OF THE MOMENT: The words "TMS" on the billboard Lupin drove by. This was a very nice episode, apart from Fujiko leaving Lupin in the dust yet again. If Black Clover was the sickness, then this was the medicine. Everything else comes sometime later this week because like hell I'm watching eleven shows in one sitting when I have exams next week.
