Following the end of the Toonami Rewind block, Adult Swim confirmed that the Toonami block will continue to air Dragon Ball Z Kai, Sailor Moon, and Naruto on its regular Saturday programming. The Sailor Moon anime will return to the Toonami block on January 25.
Here’s the Toonami block schedule for the night of January 25, via the official Facebook page:

The Toonami Rewind made its debut on May 31, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. local time. The programming block harkened back to the early years of Toonami with anime like Dragon Ball Z Kai, Naruto, and Sailor Moon. It also featured a recreated HD version of the classic Toonami packaging. The block aired every week on Fridays at the same time slot until the end of 2024.
Previously, Dragon Ball Z Kai ran on Toonami in March 2024 with a special marathon that honored the legacy of the late Akira Toriyama. These episodes aired back-to-back after Ninja Kamui at that time. The marathon was very successful, prompting Dragon Ball Z Kai’s return with Toonami Rewind.
The ongoing Dragon Ball Daima series is the last major anime work that Toriyama was involved in before his untimely passing. Goku, Vegeta, Supreme Kai, and the rest of the iconic crew are turned into children, prompting them to embark on a new adventure in the Demon Realm. New episodes release on Fridays on Crunchyroll and Netflix with English subs, and English dubs would follow in staggered releases.
