Custom Toonami Block Week 137 Rundown

Spy X Family: We finally get the briefing on Anya’s school and the short version is if she gets eight gym badges she gets to meet the guy Loid has to kill but if she gets eight anti-gym badges they fucking kick her out so we’re basically dealing with the Good Noodle Star system from Spongebob, idk if the gym badges and anti-badges are permanent or if you get a star and a bolt gets removed or if you can just rock up with seven bolts and eight stars like ‘yeah I was almost expelled but I’m also really fucking good at math’ but that’s the plan, get Anya to win all eight gym badges and be the best at school which is normal to want and possible to achieve. Anya’s tailor freaks her out about how people from her school get kidnapped because they have rich parents and of course while out doing shopping with Yor Anya gets fucking kidnapped because apparently her psychic powers can hear Loid from across a crowded gym but can’t hear someone thinking ‘I’mma kidnap this pink-haired kid’ from five feet away. Either way Yor fucks them up so we don’t have to watch her Press Y to Anya while looking for her and Anya decides she wants to learn to kill a man with her pinky too and decides to start training with Yor. Meanwhile orientation day is here and Loid goes over the plan again, adding the stipulation that Anya can also get in good with this guy’s bratty kid and take a shortcut past the gym badges like that one Pokemon anime episode where you can take a test to go straight to the pokemon league if you can identify a Jigglypuff seen from above. But yeah Anya basically takes every wrong social cue based on reading her classmates’ thoughts and being a bit of a brat herself but does kind of end up winning over one of the girls in her class while accidentally egging on the bratty kid she’s supposed to be friends with with her meme face and fucking socks him one which thanks to her new training is probably a lot stronger than it should be and now we’re starting the books with one anti-badge.

Inuyasha: The Naginata of Kenkon arc continues and Hojo and Kagome dick around in the forest for a while so Kagome can flirt with the possibility of being Hojo’s feudal waifu. Inuyasha fights Hoshiyomi who as far as filler villains go is pretty cool like he’s the only person who just fires fuck off huge sword lasers better than Inuyasha at this point in the series and they have a cool minimalist black and white color scheme. Meanwhile Miroku and Sango completely fail to try and take down the ninja subordinates because they’re ninjas and the flunkies find a picture of Kagome’s friends that one of them uses to turn into demon puppets which means absolutely nothing except it’s cool to see Kagome’s friends’ feudal versions like there’s absolutely no reason the ninja demon couldn’t make random puppets since he plays them off as feudal strangers anyway which makes no sense from his perspective since he doesn’t know they’re future people so if he saw the pic of Kagome with them why did he know not to have them talk to her like they knew her? Like that just makes the whole situation more complicated than just whipping up a random village girl to lead them into a trap. Kagome sees through a completely unrelated foible and takes out the demons which puppets or not sounds kinda traumatic given they look just like her friends but she doesn’t hesitate for a millisecond. Once the puppets are done though the demon ninjas just swoop in and abduct Kagome which they… could’ve just done anyway, in fact why not take Hojo too? He’s got the sword you want and he’s by all accounts weaker than Kagome like why did we abduct her at all and not take the one thing you guys want? Idfk man, it’s in Kagome’s contract that she has to get kidnapped every so often.

Yu Yu Hakusho: There’s a running gag I forgot to mention last time about Koenma ominously saying he can take out his pacifier as a last resort and everyone gasping before admitting they have no idea what the fuck he’s talking about and it gets repeated with Genkai this episode and it’s pretty funny. Yusuke’s group reaches Sensui’s lair where he has a VCR hooked up to a car battery so he can sync up his favorite movie to the end of the world like it’s Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz or some shit, long story short the gang’s got 30 minutes. Sensui wants Yusuke to be the arbiter of humanity’s defense so he offers to give Kuwabara back if they can kill Gourmet but his allies note this is less an act of generosity and more an enforcement of control by seeking to limit the possibilities in a framework instead of risking the ugly situation that could occur if everyone just bum rushes Kuwabara and the demon tunnel from five different angles. Kurama agrees they aren’t going to color in the lines on this one but they’ll play along for a bit and offers to fight Gourmet who now has the ability to read minds since he off-screen ate that one guy that could read minds from earlier in the arc which kinda sucks like YYH is kinda weird in that it’ll build up a death forever and not do it and then off-screen a dude with no fanfare. Anyway Kurama beheads Gourmet and reveals he knew Elder Toguro was pulling the strings in there all along and basically reverse-digested Gourmet from the inside and absorbed the ability to eat things to get stronger, read minds AND ramped up his immortality to the point that you could detonate a nuke on his forehead and he’d probably still come back. Of course what follows is one of the most epic overkill scenes in all of anime and even people that haven’t seen this series know this one. Kurama traps him in a purgatory tree where he’s eternally hallucinating not being able to kill Kurama while getting drained of his life force and healing just enough to forever be under its spell, basically what Itachi ripped the Izanami off of except this one doesn’t get a happy ending where Elder Toguro sees the error of his ways and leads an orphanage of sharingan children. So yeah, two down, two to go.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Sukuna and Yuji meet in Yuji’s inner world and Sukuna makes the deal that he’ll revive Yuji if he can basically install a switch switch to use whenever he wants on the condition he can’t kill or hurt anyone when he comes out with this method and Yuji can’t remember that he made the deal in the first place. Yuji immediately smells the sus and disagrees but still wants to come back to life so they agree to fight on it and Sukuna immediately kicks his ass and just like that Yuji’s back to life and his evil side has a foothold in his mind. This raises a couple questions of what the fuck it would take to actually kill Yuji short of like complete incineration and if Sukuna can’t kill or injure anyone when he comes out what’s the fucking point unless cursed spirits don’t count, though that’ll be a problem when they inevitably meet human enemies anyway. Megumi delivers the juvie kid’s name patch to his mom and starts actively thinking about fucking helping people while training the second years which is apparently a foreign concept in this school. I gotta say I kinda like Gojo’s ultimate goal like he knows if he just kills all the assholes running things then they’ll just get replaced by new assholes so he decides that he’s gonna make the assholes that replace those assholes instead to the future will have Gojo-brand assholes running it, pretty solid/petty reason for getting into teaching. I also like the stupid mundane way they’re gonna teach Yuji how to use Cursed Chakra because it’s just something you can do at home, like I always like training montages that are just shit an edgy teen can pretend to do. But yeah the basic idea is to watch movies to fuel a gambit of emotions while still thinking enough pissy thoughts to keep the stuffed boxing bear that feeds on youtube comments to stay asleep so there’s enough undercurrent of cursed shit in his personality that even if he’s feeling great and about to win he can still dig into a reservoir of feeling like crap and hating the world and regretting shit. That’s pretty neat since a lot of superpowers say they’re based on emotions but they don’t really go into what it takes to be able to flip those emotions on and off like a lightswitch and how you basically have to be a psychopath to punch out a specific power’s emotion in a situation that may not warrant it. Also Captain Magma wants to seal Gojo into Jimmy Neutron’s hypercube or something.

Chainsaw Man: Team Akimeno pick up right where they left off, trapped in the endless PT style loop of a a motel hallway where any seam becomes a loop, stuck in the grasp of the Eternity Devil. Kobeni and other guy have hair trigger sanity so they’re freaking out meanwhile Denji and Power are too crazy to care and Aki and Himeno are too stoic to get freaked out so we have three nice groups of two for the sliding scale of sanity under pressure. Unfortunately this isn’t the kind of hotel to have a fully stocked overpriced minibar so starvation is a concern even though everyone’s only been there like a couple hours max and they’re already putting cannibalism on the table so we’re not exactly dealing with the most stable bunch. We get some cute insight on Himeno’s backstory and ironically it fleshes Aki out more than her which is an interesting way to shine insight on her feelings for him and their dynamic has this weird kind of casual intimacy like I’d buy they canonically fucked and just didn’t make a big deal about it, also like the idea of Aki’s idea of revenge is causing people mild inconveniences like he’s someone who’d prank someone by slightly messing up their paperwork and feel really bad about it all day when they didn’t even notice. But yeah the Infinity Train Devil wants Denji dead for some reason and being the Sasuke of the group Aki has a super secret technique that can kill it but it eats his lifespan and everyone’s like ‘that’s dumb a fraction of Aki’s life is worth way more than Denji’s whole life’ and Denji’s just kinda out here feeling the love when Kobeni tries to stab him and Aki jumps in the way to take one for the team because he has a tragic backstory to uphold and also killing people to satisfy a devil doesn’t sit well with him. Denji’s not quite sure how to process gratitude towards someone he doesn’t also want to bone so he just says fuck it and jumps into the Eternity Devil’s mouth with Chainsaws active which I imagine he would’ve done anyway even if they tried to kill him with it. But yeah that was pretty cool, like for a group of people that barely tolerate each other seeing Aki stand up for the guy that repeatedly kicked him in the nuts over literal nothing and assign his life intrinsic value as well as consider him an asset to his cause is pretty neat, Denji out here getting some affirmation that doesn’t give him a boner.

Ranking of Kings: Bojji and Kage reach the Underworld King and they show off Bojji’s skills and the king’s like ‘bro your dodging’s cool and all but I can’t do shit to make you stronger’ and Bojji has a minor existential crisis before they find out from the guard captain Bojji fought that it’s actually the king’s brother who can make Bojji stronger and the king was just being a petty dork. Meanwhile Daida’s also having an existential crisis when Spear Dude comes to kill him and is stopped by the mirror who is apparently possessed by the resident Morgan Le Fae insert and has a much more sinister plan for Daida and recruits Spear dude to knock him the fuck out and make him drink the spilled Father Slushee from last episode, now with extra floor dirt to make it 10% more gross. Meanwhile Kage and Bojji reach the king’s brother and while the king’s like a demon guy the brother is just like… some dude and it’s pretty funny.

Vinland Saga: Now that Thorfinn has his goal of becoming a great warrior and enough of an asset to Askeladd to fucking murder him, we jump straight into a new fight. The English and Danish have beef because of lines on the ground because war is fucking stupid and the Viking pirates are basically mercenaries that the Danish army can use as shock troops to weaken England before it comes time to invade. While negotiating one of these missions Askeladd’s crew gets jumped by the English and Askeladd saves Thorfinn’s life and Thorfinn gets his first kill and we get a quick montage of him getting very very good at killing people over the next few years and picking up another knife along the way. While he’s out scouting he gets knocked into a river is saved by a nice old English lady who saves him because she’s a good Christian and also she just so happens to have a recently opened son-shaped hole in her heart that he’s the perfect size to fill. He actually gets to relax and get cleaned up for a bit and almost feel like part of a family again for a moment but of course because fate is cruel he still has to go give the signal to Askeladd’s crew to come fuck the whole town up and presumably kill the old lady and her granddaughter despite him trying to save them. I mean he might’ve been able to walk away from the pirate life right there but Askeladd probably would’ve still come after the village eventually and he still has a murderboner so trying to get them out of there was probably the best he could do but he probably could’ve been more direct about it.
