Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Intruder II is an original T.I.E. and the sequel to The Intruder, first annouced on February 2014 on Toonami's Tumblr page. It premiered on Toonami on November 7 of 2015 and aired for 7 weeks during 12:15 AM, ending on December 19.The Absolution is going about its duties with T.O.M and Sara having some silly banter when they come across an unknown ship sending a signal. They try to hail it but get no response, and when they try to get in closer, the ship suddenly opens fire on them. After a brief shoot out, the ship sends out an E.M.P blast; T.O.M and Sara are spared due to special metal casings, but the Absolution's engines, gravity and weapons are disabled leaving them stranded and vulnerable. Just as the two are starting to get things back online, the ship suddenly launches a pod with a drill on it that crashes into their ship. T.O.M heads off to confront the trespasser, soon finding himself getting into a confrontation with a very familiar foe.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The series was teased throughout 2015. The initial teaser can be seen here. A sneak peek showcased at Momocon 2015 can be seen here. Two promos, one teasing the series itself and the other promoting an upcoming Toonami Mobile App, can be seen here and here, respectively. A prequel comic was made that shows TOM 4 facing off against the Intruder.Another sequel, The Intruder III, premiered in November 2016.

Stealth Pun: Week 2 and 3's bumpers used a lot of the things characters say in the bumpers to effect in the story. One of particular note is Week 2's One Piece bumper with Usopp saying he'd take the Going Merry if he wins his fight with Luffy. Now who voices both TOM 1 AND Usopp?To wit Sonny Strait is going about getting back the job he lost to Steve Blum some 15 years ago in the WORST possible way Whilst it looks like the Later Card is a victim of Week 6's events, it's still there, you just have to Look at the letters in the square brackets

Interface Screw: Reflecting on the status of the story, the Bumps increase in severity. Week 1 screen the words "RED ALERT!". Week 2 has minor video interference. Week 3 is more or less the same as Week 2, outside of a heavy red tint and saturation to the point one can barely see what's going on. Week 4's bumpers are all screening the same garbled mess with a high pitched screaming with even the Alert Klaxon starting to fail. Week 5 has the Klaxon being even more wonky, but otherwise remains the same. Additionally, week 4's lineup was a Parasyte marathon. Week 6 has the bumpers change to an error screen after the Absolution blows up. Week 7 sees the debut of the new bumpers - and the new LOOK - once SARA comes back online.

Curse Cut Short: In Episode 5, after The Intruder gloats about being able to track TOM, TOM rips his damaged arm off in order to go undetected. That doesn't work. You can still hear the "hole" part if you listen hard enough; it's clearer in the recap for ep 6.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Unlike the last time, which just lead to the Absolution getting a new engine. The end of this one finds TOM and SARA stranded on a desert planet in an abandoned base. Thankfully it's still operational enough once SARA is put back online so they can still continue broadcasting. But it'll be awhile before help comes and even then when they'll be able to get a new ship.
