Dragon Ball Super Returns to Toonami

June 25, 2020

2329

Many fans were wondering what would replace My Hero Academia since the series was going to finish its fourth season on Saturday. Would there be a marathon since the Fourth of July weekend was coming up, or would Toonami dive right into a new series for fans to watch? A lot of questions were answered as Toonami announced Thursday what their plans will be for the immediate future. Dragon Ball Super will once again return to Toonami with a marathon and will stay a bit longer than just one weekend.

For the Fourth of July, Toonami will have a Dragon Ball Super marathon that will last four hours long (instead of the typical three). The marathon will show episodes 60-67. Then starting July 11, Dragon Ball Super will lead the block and begin at the Universal Survival Saga. It is still unclear as to how long Dragon Ball Super will stay on the block.

Here are some reactions to the news:

Welp….the flood gates are opened. Toonami fans are not going to be happy with this one. Dragon Ball Super returns to Toonami, and it leads the block starting July 11. I get it, and personally don't mind. But man, there will be a lot of yelling. A lot of yelling..

Just about the most uninspired choice that could have been made. I’d even rather have My Hero Academia reruns than DBS. Enjoy your Dragon Ball reruns kids, just like the good old days. pic.twitter.com/Zajyk0Ehpj

I can only hope DB Super is just temporary until we get something new for the start of the block.

It was all but inevitable that Super would show up on the block again. Honestly, I’m surprised that it didn’t happen sooner. 😅

imagine telling folks 15 years ago that a new Dragon Ball series would be a mainstay of Adult Swim's anime lineup and, yes, people would be complaining about it but no, not for the reasons they'd expect

Honestly with this pandemic making scheduled dubs meet Toonami's deadlines almost impossible, reruns of Dragon Ball Super is a good idea.

Only on the Fourth could #Toonami bring back a real American hero: Goku. https://t.co/mGkuTl4jL9
