Piccolo:Before you add me to your collection, you’re at least gonna tell me this: What sort of abomination are you? You’ve got Goku’s and Frieza’s, all of our energies. Even the Kamehameha.”

Cell:Hmm, alright. I will tell you before I feed. I am Cell, and I am an android.”

The Toonami Trending Rundown for May 7-8, 2016. Decent night for trending all things considered as the first 4 shows had successfully trended in the East Coast airing, in addition to Hunter x Hunter during its respective West Coast airing. No character or in-show content trends to report this week.

Little note that unlike recent new acquisitions which have had their Toonami announcements 2 weeks before its premiere or earlier, we have yet to receive word on what Dimension Wā€™s replacement will be. According to Jason, Toonami hasn’t been allowed to announce it just yet and will do so once they get the clearance to. As they say, good things come to those who wait, and I’m sure it will be worth it real soon.

Tune in next week for the finale of Dimension W as well as the finale of Narutoā€™s Three Tails Appearance arc, among other great moments. Until next week, have a Happy Motherā€™s Day, a Happy Goku/Piccolo Day, congratulations to Leicester City on their miraculous Premier League championship, and stay gold as always.
