Kinta Sakata: You have some explaining to do. Is the point of you and your girlfriend and your powers, to protect the Earth from Kaiju attacks?
Okarun: Umm, no. Not really. Miss Ayase and I are looking for a Golden Ball. Others are looking for it, too. Ghosts and aliens. We have to get it back before they find it.
Kinta: Are you saying the fate of Planet Earth depends on who finds this golden ball?
Okarun: It’s not that important, actually.
Kinta: Alright, I get it. If things are as dire as you say, I’ll lend you…my power!
– Dan Da Dan (Ep. 24)
This Toonami Trending Rundown is for the month of June 2026. Among other moments, this month featured the season 3 premiere of My Adventures with Superman, the season 2 finale of Dan Da Dan, and the return of the HD remaster of IGPX.
For the night of June 13-14, only #Toonami managed to trend in the United States on Twitter despite that this was the premiere night of My Adventures with Superman. It wasn’t help by the fact that not only the World Cup started during the week, the New York Knicks clinched the NBA Championship over the San Antonio Spurs during the night.
For the night of June 20-21, #Toonami trended in the United States alongside My Adventures with Superman, Dan Da Dan for its season 2 finale, Blue Lock, and Tokyo Revengers. Interestingly enough, Blue Lock (and the front-end of the lineup for that matter) aired in the East Coast at the same time the Japanese National Football team beat Tunisia 4-0 during World Cup group play.
And for the night of June 27-28, #Toonami trended in the U.S. on Twitter alongside My Adventures with Superman, Blue Lock, Tokyo Revengers, and IGPX for its return to the lineup.
As mentioned on the previous trending rundown, the June 6-7 edition of Toonami showcased a marathon of all 12 episodes of Rooster Fighter season 1 from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. to commemorate the season’s completion. Unfortunately, no trends were spotted during the night.
During the June 18-19 broadcast, Toonami showcased a sneak preview of Supergirl, the newest DC Comics film directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, which you can see below. The film is now available to see in theaters, and you can purchase tickets for screenings near your area by clicking here.

This won’t be the end for the Dan Da Dan franchise, as studio Science Saru has already announced that a third season is in the works. The new season is set to premiere sometime in 2027. We’ll keep you posted on any updates of note especially in regards to a return to Toonami in the months ahead.
Finally, a quick lineup update, there won’t be an encore run for Dan Da Dan, nor a replacement show for Dan Da Dan just yet. But with with the encore run of Ninja Kamui coming to an end on the 4th, June 11 will see a doubleheader of Blue Exorcist reruns from 2:30-3:30 a.m.
As Jason DeMarco mentioned in an interview shortly before Dan Da Dan joined Toonami about a year ago, Japanese creators and distributors are increasing wanting more of a say into how their shows are being marketed. Meaning that for stuff Toonami produces to promote a show (such as promos, topicals, and music videos), Toonami needs to get final approval from the respective show’s producers, which of course takes additional time and money. Unfortunately because of this, alongside the uncertainties to the TV market from the ongoing streaming bubble, another proposed merger with Paramount, and the present economic downturn overall, means we’re gonna have to be patient once again to see what’s next in the meantime.
Until next time, we hope you have a Happy 4th of July, enjoy Anime Expo if you’re going, Congratulations to the New York Knicks for winning the NBA Championship, congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes for winning the Stanley Cup and feel free to donate to Mike McFarland’s GoFundMe if you can as he continues his battle against glioblastoma.
Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold. 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 Twitter tweet counts, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.
