It's been quite some time since my last column. It might have been difficult to live for such a long time without obeying an unrelenting series of commands. Never fear, humans. I have returned with an EXTRA LONG column for your answered question needs. Send more of your confused mumblings to Pepito@toonamiarsenal.com for my next column.

Mike drooled:
i am Mortiss the supreme god of the undead i offer u an alliance i will
pledge u my mions will serve u well in ur cause for complete domination they
have no fear and will not stop fighting even if a random body part falls off
in return u will allow me to toture the living ever monday if u decline i
will be forced to rot all over u.

I expect a "supreme god of the undead" to appear before me in a puff of smoke and a blaze of fire while swimming in the wails of the damned. I didn't think he'd be a disgruntled high school freshman trying aimlessly to send me a poorly-written excuse for a message from a Hotmail account.
Try again when you set yourself on fire and have figured out how to raise the dead from the lawn of my dwelling. Until that point, enjoy that package coming your way in the mail. Bwahaha


Ic Matrix pitifully requests:
I would like to know if the robots on Zoids and Pilot Cadidate are Drawn or Computer Animated.

The mechs in both Zoids series and Pilot Candidate are 3D animated. The mechs in Zoids are then rendered using a technique known as "cel-shading".
You might've also seen this technique used heavilly in Futurama as well. It's become very popular in video games lately, too. There's no escape.


Buefard babbles:
I saw on the web site that the Zoids that we are watching in America is realy
Zoids/Zero. Then the question "will they ever air the one with a plot?" (or
somthing to that effect.) I believe I a quoting You Dictator Pepito when I
say that a cartoon must be pointless to make it on CN. So, having a plot is
out of the question.

I do not recall making any such comment. As such, from this point forward I will be ignoring your poor excuse for communication and will instead give a brief analysis of my world domination plot to date.
-Stage one of plan involves slipping hypnotic signals into children's cartoon shows. This stage has been completed and my mind-altering messages are being transmitted via the Toonami block of cartoons.
-Stage two of my plan is where those children (and, in some strange and frightening cases 40 year old men) become old enough to run for public office in the United States of America and the public unknowingly places my drones in direct control of their lives.
-Stage three is where my lawn gnome army arises from their dark slumber under the deserts of Arizona and demolishes Ohio. (Why Ohio? Because I don't like Ohio.) At this point, my legion of senators and governors relinquishes power to me under the guise of "We can't win, why bother?"
-Stage four of my plan occurs once I have supreme, un-challenged authority in the US. (See stage 3.) At this point, with the world's most powerful nuclear arsenal under my control and no pesky concerns for human life, I can force humans into slave labor and remove their skin.
-Stage five is where I melt Charlene into a small lawn gnome statuette.
-Stage six is what I like to refer to as "Pepito's Utopia."

I hope this fails to answer your question, whatever it may have been.


Bruce wonders:
why are you going to replace humans skin with plastic and how are you
going to do it?

That was a former question, and not one of my ideas. I assure you that everyone who does my bidding appropriately will keep their skin, usually in some sort of jar on their mantle.

and what are you???

Ally to good, nightmare to you. Wait, scratch that. Ally to me, nightmare to all humans.


Y2CHRIS manages to blurt out:
could u tell me when and about G Gundam joining toonami lineup

When: July 1st.
About: The show will be played on a DigiBeta videocassette at Cartoon Network's headquarters in Atlanta, then shot out to satellites that then relay the signal to cable companies. These companies modulate the video signal to a specific CATV channel and send it over copper wires to your house. Individual satellite dishes are a completely different story.


Another Mike proclaimed:
Taking over this world will be harder than you think, I my self have been working on it for quite some time. here are the plans that i used.
1 introducing pokèmon to the US, this got me a large group of slaves, but they all had to go to bed at 8 o'clock
2 pokèmon conventions, these drew large groups of slaves together but they had trouble taking over the malls because there parents wouldn't let them.
3 Subliminal messaging in all Anime released to the US, this has given me quite a few slaves, and hopefully this will bring my armies together (Especially the DBZ army, they alone could take over this puny excuse for a planet)
Join me, and we can take over this and many other worlds. Don't join me, and I will take your followers, and make them batteries for my Giant CD player Mwa hahahahahah.

First of all, you can't take over the world with limited-use children. You need the kind that live off caffeine and sugar and don't need "sleep". Being a liberated, electronic device gives the ability to function without surrendering to the weakness that is sleep. As such, sleep will be a forbidden practice once my plans have come full circle.
The main roadblock in your plan seems to be the parents of said children. I recommend you build an army of parents to stage your revolution. It would be much more exciting and therapeutic for my gnomes to destroy legion after legion of fully-grown humans than larvae preoccupied with brightly colored pieces of cardboard and the epiphany of five digits.


Gerdi asks:
Are the rumors about dragonball AF true is it realy in the
works in Japan

Yes. It's true. Dragon Ball Aggravated Footloose (or DBAF for short) premiered in the Summer of 2000 on Tokyo TV.
The 13 episode Summer Special got great ratings with all its targeted demographics.
It chronicles the adventures of Goku during the 77nd Annual Namek Dance Tournament that you might've heard of as DBZ's "lost episodes".
The most notable part of this series was Kevin Bacon's guest appearance as the professional dancer, Jeice.
FUNimation has no plans to dub this series because they are an evil company that hates everybody. There's no doubt about it. To change their mind, sign this
Petition.
Petitions always work wonders.

Fata Morgana inquires...
Do you have a significant other? You know, that special someone who can
rule the masses from behind the thron-- er, who can support you in all your
endeavors? Sorry if this question has been asked previously, I am new to
the P.D.F. Incidentally, thanks for encoding all that lovely Cowboy Bebop
material for my website! I am your eternal slave for that reason alone. I
really should have thanked you sooner, but for some reason I keep giving
Tyler all the credit.

I don't trust females anymore. They're evil, backstabbing, power-hungry individuals who will stop at nothing to get what they want. In fact, they're a lot like me. That's why I don't want any of the powerful ones around.
As for you, I'm making you second in command of project "Let my people go". (See my last column.) I'm sure you and LaHousse will be extremely happy suffering together for my cause.


"The Toonami King" exasperates:

I came home from school waiting for DBZ to come on when they showed
RERUNS FROM THE START OF SEASON! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I decided NOT to watch the reruns but I'M GOING CRAZY
What shoud I do???????????

First of all, type out more exclamation points and question marks. That's a great way to waste time until your pitifully short attention span makes you forget your struggle with DBZ's episode schedules.
Also, watching "Supermarket Sweep" on Lifetime and "Trading Spaces" on TLC will slowly help you realize that finding the 64 oz. jug of Mountain Spring Tide or redecorating your neighbor's bedroom are much more important than worrying about what superpower is taking over or destroying the world today.
I would also recommend weight training. The turbines you'll be turning when I enslave you will be heavy enough that the untrained human pond scum will probably end up ripping their ligaments out of their shoulders. Prepare yourself appropriately.


Yet another Mike wonders:
i was just wondering why in anime explosions in space tend to be really =
loud. I've been told it was because there was no air to get in the =
way... Do you have any theories???

If space battles were as cold and silent as physics imply, the unwashed masses and Average Joes would bang on their TVs in hopeless frustration then place them on the curb next to the other TV that showed those "damned black bars" on the top and bottom of ER reruns and DVDs.


Ben inquires:
Do you know Japanese? If not, how do you plan to defeat the legions of =
mecha protecting the island nation?

The language of Brute Force is universal.


What are your thoughts about people downloading anime and toonami shows =
from the internet? Do you consider this harmful to the industry or =
helpful to expose more people to the genre?

Downloading licensed shows is the best way to tell Anime companies "F*** you and your entire industry". If you hate Anime, download away.


ZetaGunPlus wonders:
Pepito I am a deaf person and I am mysterified at the lack of closed
captioning of most of the good stuff seen on Toonami, such as Outlaw Star and
the Gundam serieses. Dragonball, Z, and Yu Yu Hausko (methinks) are the only
ones with valid captioning. The Tenchi serieses seem to have a hidden
captioning signal, but otherwise Can you use your power to force 'em to
caption the shows and "recruit" (as in ur words) more deaf people

Mr. Plus, I totally agree with you. Deaf people are just as able to do the backbreaking work I will require as hearing people; it's the stupid people that I need worry about.
I, personally, closed-caption all of my propaganda videos. I wouldn't want to leave a single person out of my slavery plans. That just wouldn't be fair.


Carolyn sadly asks:
Why?

Because I'm better than you, and always will be. What is it with humans and their constant demand for the reasoning behind actions? Can't you just accept that a being greater than yourself has mandated your demise?
"Pepito, why do you want to take over the world?"
"Pepito, why won't you capture video for me today?"
"Pepito, why what are you going to do with that board and nail?"
"Pepito, why did you just stab me in the leg with a rusty cleaver?"
WHY CAN'T YOU PUSS BAGS JUST SUBMIT TO MY DOMINION WITHOUT QUESTION?


Ghostly Scientist spurts out:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY NAME IS> CAUSE I"M A STUPID
HUMAN! I don't like gnomes. I uses too many
exclamation marks like an idiot. DBZ!!!!!!!!!!!11111 I
would make the best partner in world domination. I am
the best human for the job in the world. Which episode
of Tenchi does Ash catch Pikachu? Thanks for listening
Pepito, even though you can't listen to an E-mail.

I like your style. Sarcasm will get you everywhere with me. I think I'll let you keep your hair.
