“Do you know what pissed me off? When Evil Eye attacked you [Momo]. That pissed me off big time. I thought we'd come up with a solution by now. But the Evil Eye is too dangerous. He's too savage, too cunning. We can't just leave him alone. And still, you all accept him, like he's part of your family. I never heard anything so weird. I never heard anything...so totally badass. Yo, what pisses me off is how freakin’ weak I am. Hang in there, Jiji. You said you'd protect the Evil Eye, and that's cool. I'll see you adieu.” -          Ken “Okarun” Takakura, Dan Da Dan (Ep. 20)

“I'm still going to save you, Hina. No matter how many times I fail, I’ll keep trying over and over again. Until I reach the future where you're finally safe, I’m never going to quit trying.”

-          Takemichi Hanagaki, Tokyo Revengers (Ep. 12)

This Toonami Trending Rundown is a double-feature for the nights of April 25-26 and May 2-3, 2026.

During both weeks, #Toonami trended in the United States on Twitter alongside Rooster Fighter, Dan Da Dan, Blue Lock, and Tokyo Revengers. #toonami also trended on Tumblr alongside #dandadan.

This week’s feature was a special promo for Mortal Kombat II, the upcoming sequel to the Mortal Combat film released in 2021. Directed by Simon McQuoid, written by Jeremy Slater, and produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film is scheduled for release in theaters this Friday, May 8, 2026.

April 29, 2026 marked the exact date Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale takes place canonically. To commemorate the occasion, Aniplex hosted a virtual concert on YouTube featuring Yuna, a key character in the film, performing “Ubiquitous dB” and “longing.” While the songs are still voiced by the late Sayaka Kanda, due to her unfortunate passing back in 2021 at the age of 31, newer lines were voiced by Risae Matsuda. The stream ended with a teaser for a new original SAO anime film, with further information to be revealed in July.

While the One Piece anime and manga is far from over, Toei Animation along with Wit Studio and Netflix is presently working on a readaptation of the anime that could potentially be easier to digest for newer viewers. Titled “The One Piece,” the first season of this One Piece remake, the East Blue arc, will cover the first 50 chapters in 7 episodes. It will be batch-released on Netflix in February 2027.

Finally, we now know when My Adventures with Superman season 3 will be released. In an exclusive reveal by Entertainment Weekly on Friday, May 1, the season premiere is scheduled to air on Toonami this June 13 at midnight EDT/PDT. The show will be available for streaming on HBO Max the following day.

Until next time, stay gold, and feel free to donate to Mike McFarland’s GoFundMe  if you can as he continues his battle against glioblastoma. And we send our thanks today to Ted Turner, co-founder of Cartoon Network and other Turner Broadcasting (now part of WBD) Networks, who has passed away at the age of 87. Say what you will about Ted, but no doubt he was a pioneer for cable television with the likes of CNN, Turner Classic Movies, TNT, TBS, and the like. And with Cartoon Network in particular, gave us the first ever television channel dedicated solely for cartoons and laid the groundwork for what would become the Cartoon Cartoons and Cartoon Network/Warner Bros original productions overall, Boomerang, Adult Swim, and Toonami. Rest in peace, Ted. Thanks for shaping our childhoods, and may your legacy continue for many years to come.

“The moment Bachira passed to Chigiri, a simulation popped into my head, and I ran to the weakest part of the field. I knew if I could get there and occupy that space, we could keep the ball and unleash a wave of attacks. That was my inspiration. Because of my spatial awareness, I was able to run a simulation based on all of our own weapons, the game conditions, and the events playing out on the field. Now I see, so that's how I use it. With these eyes and my brain, I can foresee the future of the field. That's the missing piece. That's how I make my own goals.” -          Yoichi Isagi, Blue Lock (Ep. 10)

Until next time, stay gold, have a Happy Year of the Horse, congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for winning Super Bowl LX, feel free to donate to Mike McFarland’s GoFundMe  if you can as he continues his battle against glioblastoma, and Let’s Go Team USA!

“It’s been this way for a long time, and you may not be open to change right now. But I will become the best in the magic realm and prove to all of you…that it’s fine even if you can’t use magic, okay?” -          Mash Burnedead, Mashle: Magic and Muscles (Ep. 24)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for January 24-25 and January 31-February 1, 2026. This fortnight featured the Mashle season 2 finale and the Blue Exorcist season 4 mid-season finale.

For the night of January 24-25, #Toonami trended in the United States on Twitter alongside Bleach TYBW, Blue Exorcist, Mashle, and Dragon Ball Daima. Meanwhile for the night of January 31-February 1, #Toonami trended in the USA alongside Primal, Bleach TYBW, Blue Exorcist, and Mashle. Bleach also trended on Tumblr.

With both Mashle and Blue Exorcist going into hiatus, Toonami has made an announcement on what is next on the dock come February 2026. On Friday, January 23, Toonami released the schedule for the February 7th edition of Toonami, revealing that Tokyo Revengers and Blue Lock would be joining the lineup at 1:00 and 1:30 a.m. EST respectively.

The feature for January 24 was the promo for Blue Lock, which you can see below:

While the feature for January 31 was the promo for Tokyo Revengers, which you can see below:

At the “Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri” event on January 24-25 in Chiba, Japan, Toei Animation commemorated the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball by revealing some huge announcements regarding the franchise’s future following the success of Dragon Ball Daima.

The big news is that Dragon Ball Super will be returning from its eight-year anime hiatus with a new story arc, titled “The Galactic Patrol Saga.” Canonically following the Universe Survival arc, this new arc will cover the Moro Saga, also known as the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga in the manga. A release date has yet to be announced.

But that’s not all for Dragon Ball Super. Toei has also announced that they are producing a Remake/Remaster of the Battle of Gods saga, scheduled for Fall 2026, titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus.

A new Dragon Ball game was also announced, titled “Age 1000”, which will feature a new original character designed by Akira Toriyama before his passing. The new game is scheduled for release in 2027. According to Toei, more updates for the game will be unveiled at “Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026” in the U.S. on April 18-19.

In terms of the social media buzz that came from the announcement, Dragon Ball trended in the US alongside Battle of Gods, Beerus, Daima, Moro, and Goku.

Of course, this likely won’t be the end of either Blue Exorcist or Mashle on Toonami. During Jump Festa last month, Aniplex revealed that a third season of Mashle is in the works, which will cover the Tri-Magic-Athalon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc in the manga. The series will air in Japan in 2027.

Blue Exorcist will have one more arc left, The Blue Night Saga, before Toonami viewers are “caught up” with what has been released so far anime-wise. It is still to be determined when Toonami and Aniplex will air that arc at this time. Do note that both the Beyond the Snow and Blue Night sagas are collectively parts of season 4, as the Blue Night saga did start in Japan (and simulcasting on Crunchyroll) a week after the Beyond the Snow saga wrapped up. While splitting seasons is common in television, it’s unknown why Toonami and Aniplex did so with this scenario.

Tune in Saturday for the Toonami debuts of Tokyo Revengers and Blue Lock, among other great moments. Until next time, stay gold, and feel free to donate to Mike McFarland’s GoFundMe if you can as he continues his battle against glioblastoma.

Shake On It. Only Toonami on [adult swim] on Cartoon Network.

This Toonami Trending Rundown is a double feature for the nights of January 10-11 and 17-18, 2026. This fortnight featured the Season 3 premiere of Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal.

For the night of January 10-11, only #Toonami and Mashle trended in the US, while #Toonami trended on Tumblr alongside One Piece. The following week on the night of January 17-18, #Toonami trended in the US alongside Bleach TYBW, Blue Exorcist and Mashle. Bleach also trended on Tumblr.

The feature for January 10-11 was a video game review of Keeper, an adventure game developed by Double Fine for the Xbox platform. It received an 8/10 score.

If you missed it, I released a pair of interviews last week for @toonamisquad including one with Michelle Ruff, the voice of Rukia in Bleach, and another featuring Deneen Melody and Kimberly Woods, the voices of Ronye and Tiese in Sword Art Online. Feel free to check those out as well as my (admittedly late) report on San Diego Comic-Con 2025.

Not much else to say other than congratulations to the Indiana Hoosiers for winning the National Championship and stay gold as always.

“Come on, don't you want to know how we came to be born? According to the Order, Yuri Egin was the apostate who bore Satan's sons, and all the data on her is classified. But I really want to know, the truth behind our birth, and why it's all been kept secret. Do you seriously still not want to know any of that, Rin?” -          Yukio Okumura, Blue Exorcist (Ep. 57)

“Nope, sure don't. I get the feeling it ain't gonna be a happy story. So, what good would come from hearing about it now. And if our birthday gift [from Shura] was that our mother was a beautiful, kind person...then that's enough for me.” -          Rin Okumura

The Toonami Trending Rundown for January 3-4, 2026. The first Toonami of 2026 features among other great moments, a Christmas episode from Blue Exorcist where Rin and Yukio also celebrate their birthday. In regard to this week’s social media buzz, #Toonami trended in the US on Twitter alongside Bleach TYBW, Blue Exorcist, and Mashle.

This week’s feature was a speech from TOM and SARA assuring fans that during these times of uncertainty, especially with the proliferation of AI deepfakes and the changing media landscape amidst the ongoing streaming service boom and bubble (especially with Warner Bros and Discovery planning to split after the failed merger and Netflix looking to acquire the former), Toonami is still standing and their mission of building you a better cartoon show remains the same.

On Friday, Toonami announced that Primal will make its return to the better cartoon show, with encore runs of season 3 at midnight starting on January 17. Every show from Bleach to Dragon Ball Daima will move down the schedule by 30 minutes to make way. Dan Da Dan will leave the schedule following the completion of its encore run on January 10 in the interim, with the show set to return for season 2 on a date still to be determined.

New episodes of Primal will air on Sundays starting on January 11, with episodes available to stream on HBO Max the following day. My Toonami Squad colleague Szuniverse made a review of the season 3 premiere, which you can see by clicking here.

Not much else to say other than to keep supporting Toonami as always and we’ll see you again next time for another round of the better cartoon show. Later.
