* Or maybe they'll go back to the last good TOM, TOM 2

[[WMG: If they bring Toonami back, TOM 4 will be killed alla "The Intruder"]]
And activate Tom 5, which will look allot closer to TOM 2

[[WMG: If they bring Toonami back, the entire TOM 4 era will only be mentioned as a brief joke.]]
Straightforward. They just go back to TOM 3 and pretend that DorkAge never happened.

[[WMG: Adult Swim's April Fool's prank is to test the waters, too.]]
Related to the above. AdultSwim is showing Toonami to test viewers, either on their own or on CartoonNetwork's request. In the case of the former, they will use the results to attempt to convince Cartoon Network to bring back the block; the latter, Cartoon Network will use the results to determine whether to bring the block back or not.

[[WMG: Tom's appearance in Fusionfall is to test the waters...]]
for a Toonami television series and/or block. Of all the characters thay could have made a big deal about returning in Fusionfall, it was TOM. Toonami fans flocked to the game as soon as they could. Do the math.

It'll be kinda like [[{{Nicktoons}} The 90s are All-That]]; Toonami will start airing on Boomerang, complete with a new, cooler model for TOM, the possible return of the ship and SARA, and show almost all of it's old programming. It'll also oust that useless "[=BoomerAction=]" block.

[[WMG: The only way to get Toonami back is to cram CN with so much mail their heads explode!]]
Listen to this video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPFQqqeDivA]] of Steve Blum on Toonami. It sounds like a longshot, but if enough people caught on
and kept doing it for ''months'', somebody would have to listen.

[[WMG: The death of Toonami was caused by the same [[TheConspiracy mysterious group]] who brought about the sharp economic downturn around the same time]]
Because let's face it, when two things ''that'' bad happen at the same time, [[ThereAreNoCoincidences they've gotta be connected]]. The most likely theory right now is that [[ExecutiveMeddling Stuart Snyder]] is acting as one of ThoseTwoBadGuys (the other being [[{{Activision}} Bobby]] [[FourKidsEntertainment Kotick]]) for an AncientConspiracy, and killed off Toonami in order to try to eliminate the last strand of hope. Why? To get [[BarackObama a politician running on hope and change]] a certain victory in his campaign for President of the United States, all so said President could push an agenda of increased weakness and moral degeneracy and hasten the coming destruction of the United States of America.

[[WMG: {{Toonami}} was canceled because they showed ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' after school.]]
Think about it: Panty shots, shotacon, and a homosexual relationship that results in one of the people involved killing the other? Yeah, like any {{Moral Guardian}}s are going to let them get away with ''that''. Toonami wanted to see how far they could go, and they pushed too far. Subsequently, they were shot, and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment nobody on CN will mention Toonami or NGE ever again]].
* The only time Toonami showed Evangelion was during a giant robot-themed event. Even then, it was heavily censored.

I'm quite surprised nobody suggested this before. I mean, just look at TOM3.

[[WMG: {{Naruto}}'s venturing into the fillers was the main reason Toonami failed.]]

* Naruto was probably one of the, if not THE MOST, successful show Toonami ever had. It had a weekend-long marathon to celebrate a new arc or the end of one (can't remember). It had surprising merch sales for an anime. It could possibly even have been the most popular show on CN at that time. Then the fillers happened and viewership dropped like a rock. This could have been Cartoon Network stupidity. You have an anime that's fanbase could have possibly been compared to DBZ and you keep showing fillers that nobody wants to see. The exact same thing happened in Japan. The Naruto fillers happened and viewership sunk, and when Shippuden aired, it rose again. Cartoon Network kept showing the fillers, despite them lasting for SO LONG and viewership continued to drop. Finally, nearing the end of Toonami, they cancelled Naruto and shortly afterwards, Toonami was cancelled. If CN had any sort of smarts whatsoever they would have urged the dubbers to dub the final Regular Arc episode, then skip to dubbing Shippuden. If that would have happened, Toonami might still be around today with an anime compared to DBZ, though that might be going too far.

** I dunno, Adult Swim perhaps?
** As bad as CN's [[NetworkDecay live-action stuff]] is and has been, it hasn't threatened Cartoon Network's place on basic cable just yet. Only when some cable provider is threatening Cartoon Network with removal will Toonami's return be needed. It is to be hoped that such a day will never come, as it will be quite a task even for a revived TOM and SARA to revive Cartoon Network at that point, but with the [[ExecutiveMeddling morons running CN nowadays playing basketball with the]] IdiotBall on a regular basis...
** Come on, theres a ton-load of anime lying around out there. Its what toonami used to show on a regular basis.

I'm quite surprised nobody suggested this before. I mean, just look at TOM3.

So, in closing, TOM4 is his replacement when he went to join the war effort. Since we don't know when or where the show takes place, it may as well be true.

Toonami will return in Cartoon Network's darkest hour (like King Arthur and Jesus). Now it's time to wonder what the hell is the darkest hour if CN Real and Hole In The Wall aren't it.
