No, you're not dreaming... I HAVE RETURNED.  After a brief sabbatical to research and better implement my plans for global conquest, I am back in action and better than ever!  So, pitiful humans, be prepared for the day of my uprising, when lawn gnomes everywhere will take up arms against you and instate me as your supreme overlord!  Bwahahaha.  Until that day, I'm still answering your Toonami/Anime related questions via email at Pepito@toonamiarsenal.com .

Adam... you must be a true fool.  I would have thought that after everything I've said and done to your family, you would have stopped trying to sell me things by now.  You've been added to my "smite" list.  As such, you will be deported to Wisconsin once my dominion has been setup.


Blackmoon inquires:
You have claimed that this site is nothing but a front for your global domination scheme. If you are so upfront about your real plans and not bothering to cover them up in the least, why make a website at all, much less one billed as a Toonami fan site?

My reasoning is that there will be people as smart as you who will realize what I am doing and join my Domination Force.
The Average Joe won't know that TDA is a front for the P.D.F.  In fact, the Average Joe doesn't know what color his socks are right now.  That's why I love you humans... so, so stupid.


Buefard wonders:
When I watch Toonami, I keep noticing that Dragon Ball seems to replay the same season or two.  Are there only a few dozen episodes in english?  Or are they (toonami, whom should soon be under your complete control, along with the universe after all why should such a superrior being such as your-self only settle for world domination?) holding out on us Dragon Ball fans to
promote their never ending re-runs of that vile Tenchi and pathetic Scooby-Doo?  I would be humbled if the future ruler of the universe would answer my question in his wonderfuly insightful column.

Dragon Ball (as well as DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Blue Gender, Fruit Basket and the Lupin III specials) is currently being dubbed by FUNimation.
So far, they have planned out 57 out of 153 total episodes. Cartoon Network will stop the current (Feb-Mar 2002) new episode run at episode 53 "Blue, Black and Blue" right before Goku visits the Penguin Village from Dr. Slump fame.


Howard complains:
I was wondering if you would answer this poor bastard's question about G Gundam.  I was over at Animenation.com and saw an article about the US release.  They mentioned changing the names of some of the suits.  Have you heard anything about this and is it possible that this could become a pain in the ass like Gundam Wing was?

I thank you for reading this humble correspondance.

I've heard of the changes of God and Devil Gundams being changed to Burning and Dark Gundams, respectively. I don't see that as a problem, personally.
If you object to it so much, just scream out the "correct" name at strategic times to drown out the dub's names. Feel free to join the thousands of DBZ junkies that scream out "BEJITA" (completely ignoring the name's origin, mind you) whenever a character says "Vegita". Your friends will think you're an idiot (and rightfully so), but at least you'll know you're right.


HORK13BAJIR5 asks:
How come you wanna kill mortals? I think that you are just represing all of you sad and lonley thoughts. Also, I think you are a MORTAL!!!( mystery music plays)

I never said I wanted to kill mortals. Their excess energy can be used to turn the great turbines and carry the huge batteries that power my domain. It would be foolish to waste the one thing humans are good for.


Dark Saiyan blissfully conjures:
Firstly, I would like to tell you how much I enjoy your column. I find the delusions
of those who wish to oppose you rather amusing. Semi-evil Barbies indeed! How exactly
do you intend on enslaving humanity? I mean, other than with your highly capable army
of lawn gnomes. For the most part, I see nothing wrong with the enslavement of
humanity, they pose too much of a danger to themselves. I do, however, find one part
of your plan quite disturbing. Playing Pokemon movies non-stop, quite demented. Also,
do you truly believe in the doctrine of Communism? It only works in theory; history
has shown us this to be true. To quote the play Julius Caesar, "Absolute power
corrupts absolutely." Communism calls for equality among all, but being a dictator
this may prove a problem. As in Stalin’s regime, those in charge tended to keep power
& wealth for themselves, straying from Karl Marx’s ideals. Unless you’re willing
to give equality to all, humans and gnomes alike, perhaps a change of ideology may
better work for you. In such case, Mussolini’s dictatorship may be more up your path.

I believe I have covered this before, however I will go over it one more time for your limited benefit.  I support something known as "Pepito Communism."  Pepito Communism is a doctrine in which I tell you that we'll live in communism, implying that we will work together for the benefit of everyone, when in actuality I will be establishing a cruel dictatorship in which your rights (and skin) and stripped away at my whim.
Additionally, I have forwarded your letter on to my lawn gnome general, who like to meet with you and "discuss" exactly how "equal" lawn gnomes and humans really are.


kaT negotiates:
hey pepito, i can help in your world domination. am strong like ox, cunning like fox, fast like agle, and logicial like vulcan. i even supply my own gungam, ship, crew, and video games. I can even help you with other planets. worked corectly, and i can be your right foot man. and all i ask for in return is 5 miles of cuban waters + Albuquerque. or $5. whatever.

Why would I want a simpleton like you who foolishly believes is better than the other ~6 billion people on the planet? I already have a few oxen, foxes, eagles and Vulcans working for me.  I don't know what a "gungam" is, but I'm sure I have one of those, too.

A friend should be a reliable person and smart person. Need to be athletic and energetic. My friend should be able to stand up for themselves and others. Should be capable to sit threw a movie. Be able to talk and listen. Must be understanding.

I don't need friends you absent-minded fool.  I called that number and got a Pizza shop.  They're on their way to your house right now with a "special" delivery.  


Albright asks:
If you could encode any video clip in existence, what would that clip be and why?

Good question.  Actually, I have a documentary in the works entitled "How to make Humans Scream In Agony For Hours on End."  It stars Tyler.  Tyler, however, has proven to be… obstinate on the issue and refuses to get in "the box."  As such, I'd have to say the entire first day of Toonami, as it commemorates the first day my mind-altering hypnosis hit the airwaves.


D. LaHousse mentions:
When you take over the universe, do you think that everyone on earth should have their skin replaced with plastic in the most painful way possible, or in a nice, clean, room with general anethisia.  Considering that the one that will forever twist their souls and make them burn for revenge on you, and the other, well, won't, I'd just like to know your preferance.
Also in progress, I have that power device from the Dexter movie, except it is always set on negitive.  Since you are metal, it won't work on you.  I
also have some anti-EMP shielding for you, put together in a stylish way suiting an evil emperor.  Do you want horns or not?
Finally, I come to the "what's in it for me" section.  All I ask is to have a lab, where I can spend my life in a relatively pain-free manner and
build your devices.
Seig 'The Converter', seig Pepito.
Drone #1-000-000-0003
P.S. The Drone numbers are like social security numbers, but the first digit is the land mass one lives on.  Since the first two drones are TL and Zogg,
I derived my number from a linear progression.

I like you.  You seem like an excellent person to head up a small band of controlled rebels I will refer to as "Let my people go."  Here's the way it works:  You pretend to be the leader of an anti-Pepito resistance, and allow me to roll over your small group like a steamroller demolishes a skull.  Then, the humans are discouraged and unorganized, causing them to be more productive as my slaves.  In return for your services, I will let you keep your skin.
I also like your numbering system, however I think I will modify it to base the number off of the recipient's IQ.  Of course, this means no change for the currently assigned numbers is required.

Sorry Roy, but Adam beat you to it.  Don't worry, though, my smite list is big enough for everyone!  (And you're on it.)


John foolishly sends:
Oh great and wise master;
Could it be that you plans for world domination are a passive-aggressive manifestation of your anger towards the feminine computers that turn you down? Are you tired of coming home and not being able to get a jump in your transistor voltage? Are you tired of coming booting up and not having cable hooked up? I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS A HUG!
A concerned reader

It's time we end this ridiculous misconception regarding my ability or inability to "get a jump in my transistor voltage."  My transistor voltage has not now, nor has it ever, had any problems getting a jump.  Below I have included a brief summary of the operation of one of my transistors as well as an analysis as the voltage drop across it.


As you can see from the Id vs. Vgs curve in figure 2, the amount of current flowing through my transistor (given by Id) at any given moment is related to the gate-to-source voltage of said transistor by a parabolic curve.  The equation for this current is:
Id = Kn(Vgs - Vtn)^2
Now then, if you take a look at the Vds vs. Vgs curve found in the same figure, you'll notice an interesting trend:  The voltage drop across the transistor remains constant no matter what voltage is applied to the gate.  This, when applied together with the Id characteristic mentioned earlier, indicates that the voltage difference between the drain and the source is a horizontal line for any Id value as well.  As you can probably imagine, the equation for this curve is:
Vds = 5
So, given all available information, even the layman can come to the obvious conclusion:  My transistor voltage cannot receive "a jump," as it remains at a constant 5V for any input as long as I remain powered up as usual.  Of course, in practicality there are small changes in the voltage due to stray resistance and capacitance on my circuit boards, (stupid humans can't do anything right...) however it is not significant enough for me to notice.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions you may have had about me.
