“Even the best training doesn’t guarantee that you’ll beat the Saiyans, just know that now. In particular, the two that are on their way to Earth are among the strongest and the most ruthless in the universe. To be perfectly frank, these Saiyans are even more powerful than me. […] If you are to stand any chance of beating them [Goku], that means your powers will have to surpass mine by the time you leave here. Your work’s cut out for you.”
– King Kai, Dragon Ball Z Kai (Ep. 06)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for January 10-11, 2015. As we pass by the 2nd week of 2015 and the season finale of Black Dynamite, Toonami continues to stand strong as every show with the exception of Attack on Titan, DBZ Kai, and Ghost In The Shell managed to get into the US trends list. In addition, both DBZ Kai and Gurren Lagann managed to produce a character trend, with King Kai (as he begins to train Goku to try and fend off the Saiyans) as well as Rossiu (as he criticizes Simon’s leadership) to kick off Gurren Lagann’s 2nd half on a high note.
Tune in next week as One Piece resumes the Enies Lobby arc, among other great moments from the other shows. Until next week, stay golden as always.
Legend: The number next to the listed trend represents the highest it trended on the list (not counting the promoted trend), judging only by the images placed in the rundown. For the mobile app trends, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.
