@Rocky1125:
Anything could happen. Honestly episode content hasn't really affected it seeing how its ratings are up and down even with action packed episodes. I really wouldn't bank on a particular arc spiking up ratings. Rather, we can hope that more people just get into it in general. Hopefully by getting an earlier timeslot, but this move to 1:30am isnt gonna help things.
As for Bleach beating SD…. well, Dandy just started reruns so that's probably why. That being said, Bleach has a tremendous fan base here. It also helps that its a dub premiere, ahead of its DVD releases. Both Naruto and OP are behind, on tv.
I think ur forgetting, OP been off air for 5 years, had a 4kids dub and been relatively obscure for awhile, i bet more than half the viewers on Toonami don't realize stuff like Jet Gattling is coming up, so they watch casually out of interest and then don't watch certain weeks, plus the Davy Back is probe still stuck in there minds. OP at 1:30 I think isn't a bad thing, and isn't permanent, I highly doubt Demarco's gonna let OP drown at 1:30 for the next 15 years OP is going to exist on Toonami, I bet it'll be back once Dandy, Bleach or Titan finish up, it only moved down because they really wanted Titan as fast as possible b4 Summer starts, lol were suffering from in the moment emotions,
I remember back in the day people never thought OP would even be on air again, and now its back so I think we should think more logically and long term rather than with our in the moment anger when something bad happens to our favorite series, theres no use in us getting all emotional after every potential temporary decision, at the end of the day we just have to relax and wait and see what happens later in the year, lol watch when OP gets its spot back later on everybody's gonna be so relieved, so we just need to be patient, everything about the One Piece series involves patience anyway, we got through Fishman Island, I think we can get through this small bump in the road lol.

I still have alot of faith that Dandy S2 is gonna snag that 11 spot, I hope Titan blows up so that Adult Swim can't ignore Toonami anymore, and gives the slot to them alrdy, and then we can finally have some versatiliy and OP won't have to deal with clutter with the timeslots
