Double posting with new information. It seems likely that ToQ 46 will air this Saturday (February 7th) between 12PM to 4PM JST as there's a blank in the TV Asahi schedule thats been cleared for "adjustments".
I'd so much prefer if they just pre-emptied that dancing show before ToQger just so we can have the two episodes together. That would be so much more perfect...
Except then they'd have to find a way to broadcast that pre-empted episode later, which would still screw up the schedule.
Couldn't they just postpone it instead?
Couldn't they just postpone it instead? I mean, Ninninger has a set date already, and it would be weird if they changed it now, so it's logical for them not to postpone ToQger's last episode for Sunday's normal ToQger slot, but release it before that slot. Say we had Drive been pre-empted instead, they wouldn't have to screw up the schedule. They would just show the episode next weekend, normally. Same could work with that show.
The next Battle Spirits has already been announced too and even had commercials and it'll take that timeslot. It wouldn't be any different from the situation with Toqger right now.
