In case you miss last night’s Toonami we have you covered. First, from 10:30pm to 11:59pm (Eastern), Toonami was completely normal as we expected still showing new episodes of Dragon Ball Super, DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters and Black Clover. Then at midnight the Subbed version of FLCL Alternative premiered on the block and Toonami changed for April Fools and went into full Japan mode, the whole block was now subbed including TOM and SARA as you can see below.

This was the schedule for Toonami starting at 10:30pm (Eastern):

10:30pm – Dragon Ball Super
11:00pm – Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters
11:30pm – Black Clover

This was the schedule for Toonami starting at Midnight (Eastern):

Midnight – FLCL Alternative
12:30am – Mind Game (Movie)

Every show starting at midnight ran subbed and uncut and the block ran from 10:30pm until 6:00am (Eastern) for a total of 7.5 hours. Note: The dubbed versions of these shows will re-air next Saturday.
