[[WMG: Toonami was revived...]]

To serve as a thank you for all of TOM's work behind the scenes of CartoonNetwork. After Toonami was cancelled, the head of CN promoted TOM to oversee development of new original CN television (NOT live-action of course). He spent the last four years traveling through distant places, eyeing for fresh blood to help out the (at the time) struggling network [[AdventureTime with]] [[RegularShow some]] [[GeneratorRex success]]. As thanks for all of his hard work finding quality programming (and having a re-engergized feel from scouring new cartoons while in retirement), the head honcho, for Toonami's and TOM's 15th birthday, offered [[AdultSwim [as]'s]] AprilFoolsDay slot to air, which he happily accepted. When the prank found success from the audience, the head of CN and TOM worked out a new schedule, and the rest is history.

[[WMG: TOM 4 was a temp]]

*Something happened to the "real" TOM (TOM 3) so they hired a dude to fill in for him. TOM was missing until he returned on April Fool's Day.

* Similarly, the Absolution isn't fully functional yet. The lighting seemed a bit dim, and of course no Sara or any other crew to be seen. Time restrictions probably meant the Absolution is still being prepared for its full journey and not everything is fully active just yet.

[[WMG: TOM is back in his third body because of time and budget restrictions.]]
No I'm not being an asshole smarmily using real-life reasons. For the past few years since Toonami was cancelled TOM had no physical body. He was loaded onto a computer all this time, much like Sara. The sudden revival caught him completely off-guard and he had niether the time nor the money to have a fifth body made. Fortunately CN still had his third body laying around collecting dust, so they just refurbished it and loaded TOM back onto it.

With the standard Adult Swim programing, but Tom and Toonami bumbers and the ongoing multi night plots.

[[WMG: They already lined up to have Toonami comeback before the April Fool's joke]]
It takes months to schedule things on television. They new the surprise and the "we may get it back if you show enough interest" was just a plan [[BatmanGambit get us to give them loads of free advertising]].

*** Compare me to Dale Gribble all you want, but remember, Toonami was born in the Clinton years, died before Obama was elected in 2008, and came back during the lead-up to the Obama reelection campaign in 2012. He wants us to associate Toonami with Democratic Presidents so we'll never vote Republican again.

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]].
