Any chance of it airing over the weekend (or, if we're lucky, tomorrow?), or will it be a full week delay?
Also hope nobody got hurt.

I'm near positive that SSY has sold more copies in America than Japan, but also have to remember that in America, 12 episodes of SSY are 60 bucks or so. In Japan, 2-3 episodes are 80 bucks.
It's the difference between buying the entire series in America for $120, or buying it in Japan for $640. American volumes would have to sell about 6x more just to match, meaning the series would have had to have sold around 5-6k in America. I'd be really interested to see how well it did do over here, since it was so well received in the West.
As someone who only watched the first 300 episodes of One Piece, when it was good, it was fantastic (Mostly the 'flesh out the character' arcs, like Nami and the shark bad guy). Otherwise it felt like I should just fast forward.
I can see why people would get tired of god awful animation quality and pacing of one chapter per 20 minutes of nothing happening.
The day of the endless shounen is coming to an end. They're starting to sell like complete shit, with the average One Piece or Fairy Tale volume barely hitting 1k, and that's with 3x the amount of episodes or more. Merchandising is the only thing keeping them afloat outside of the manga sales, and I can't see a lot of studios keeping much of a profit on them, especially not any new ones.
The most I could see is something akin to Jojo, where it airs in seasons that keep coming out with breaks in between. Though we're seen more "endless" shounen style shows come out as normal 1-2 cours, like Magi, Nanatsu no Taizai, and Hero Acadamia. Allows for far higher animation quality, without burning people out of buying every single volume of essentially nothing.
