The Intruder III is a 4-part Toonami Immersion Event mini-series and the second sequel to The Intruder. It ran throughout November 2016.A year since the end of part II, TOM and Sara are still on Shogo 162 boardcasting the Toonami block from the planet while hoping for any nearby rescue. However one day while milling around, a vicious sandstorm sweeps through the planet with TOM barely able to get back to base in time. However it turned out that the planet, which Sara and he though uninhabited, happened to be the home of native sand worms who follow him back to base. Thus TOM once more finds himself tangling with unwanted intruders.The series was announced at Anime Expo '16, and was teased further with block bumpers which revealed that new Clydes were built shortly after TOM crash-landed on Shogo 162, recovered SARA, and established the Vindication as the new base of operations for Toonami. On October 14th of 2016, another teaser was shown on Toonami Pre-Flight, with SARA noting seismological disturbances and a massive storm brewing on the planet.It was announced on Toonami Pre-Flight that, after the conclusion of The Intruder III, a comic (for which Jason DeMarco shared a piece of rough art on Twitter) will be released at the end of November. The comic, named Trapped, will take place before the events of The Intruder III and will chronicle one of TOM's adventures on Shogo 162.The Anime Expo '16 teaser can be seen here. The block bumpers teasing the series can be seen here and here. The October 14th Pre-Flight teaser can be seen here.

comment
Darker and Edgier: The teasers still indicate that TOM and SARA might have bigger things to deal with this time around, such as earthquakes, massive storms, and giant creatures burrowing through the planet. This ends up subverted near the end however. While there is a danger present it isn't from the worms, but rather the storm. Compared to the second Intruder mini-series, this is more Lighter and Softer.

Tempting Fate: TOM comments about how the weather is nice enough to go out and explore the planet, just a moment before a storm picks up. He immediately lampshades how he just had to say that.

Lampshade Hanging: Twice in this T.I.E. so far, once about TOM and SARA constantly having to deal with intruders, and another about TOM's weapon never working against anything after getting off a few shots against the sandworms.

Bittersweet Ending: Good news: TOM and SARA survive with the help of the Sand Worms, who were merely try to warn TOM and SARA, and the base is actually a ship called the Vindication, meaning they can finally get off the planet and resume their travels. Bad news: the planet dies and all but one of the Sand Worm creatures die with it. But TOM and Sara agree to take care of their youngest and gain a new friend in the process.

Sand Worm: The "intruders" of this event. Two of them attack TOM outside of the base. Thanks to an automatic defense system that kicked in, he just barely managed to get back inside. Several more managed to breach the lower sections of the base. Turns out they were only trying to help TOM and SARA.

Interface Screw: Reflecting on the status of the story, the Bumps increase in severity. Week 1 screens the words "THREAT DETECTED". Week 2 screen the words "EXTERIOR BREACH". Week 3 screens the words "INTRUDER ALERT". Week 4 sees the debut of the new bumpers - and the new LOOK - once the Vindication escapes from Shogo 162 after it implodes.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Despite the title, the "good" old Blob Monster doesn't return for a Rule of Three. Instead, TOM now faces giant Sand Worms who are Good All Along and trying to warn him and his crew about the real threat: an impending Earth-Shattering Kaboom.
