July 16, 2023/Ray of Despair, Ray of Hope

"Ray of Despair, Ray of Hope" is an episode of Dr. Stone.
The previous episode, "Treasure Box" was scheduled to air, but this episode aired instead. Skipping the previous episode created a continuity error, as that was the introduction of the character Soyuz.
In response to this, Toonami announced that they would be airing "Treasure Box" on July 23, 2023 and reairing this episode on July 30, 2023.
This is supposedly the first time that Toonami has ever skipped ahead an episode on accident. This does not count moments where they accidentally aired a previous episode (such as the season finales of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, Harley Quinn, and Dragon Ball GT), or skipped episodes due to pressure from Cartoon Network due to censorship (Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star), other companies (Dragon Ball GT, Pokémon: Battle Frontier, Cardcaptors, and supposedly D.I.C.E.), or intentionally due to coincidental real-world events and preparations for removal (Mobile Suit Gundam).
