Because Toonami can't find anything else I guess.

It's 3:30 in the morning. The only thing they show at that time are reruns. Plus the block is absolutely stuffed with premieres right now.

This probably means Part V is going to find its way into the block either late this or early next year.

well better this then another show that's been overplayed on Adult swim for years before they revived the Toonami brand. that said DBZ kai is ending soon so I'm wondering whats going to replace it (and I'm hoping it's a 26 episode show that's not super popular at the moment)

What are the ratings like for this time slot? Back in high school I use to watch stuff that late but only because it was THE ONLY WAY to do so. My VHS recorder didn't work and TiVO was too expensive back then. With cable losing millions of subscribers every year, I really am curious to who know is watching these shows at these hours. Especially when there's so many ways to watch them at more convenient times.

I think they bring in more money than infomercials and it's a better look than simply going off the air.

But it would be cool if it was reruns of something like Death Note, Samurai Champloo etc. But anyway, I don't hate Lupin the 3rd Part IV it's just maybe something different.

hopefully if part V gets licensed, then it might move in the eariler timeslots. probably the DBZ Kai timeslot once the buu saga ends! doubt it will be jojo's timeslot ,unless they don't have the license for diamond is unbreakable that is!

You underestimate the power of insomnia. Some of us don't care what the show is as long as it's late enough and it's on.

The ratings for that particular time-slot are pretty much within the 280,000 through 347,000ish range. Meanwhile, the ratings for the premieres are slightly higher, with Dragon Ball Super scoring close to a million views (sometimes even reaching that number).
