Rick and Morty Are Unleashing "The Vindicators 4" on James Gunn Now

So we've reached the 12th day in the neverending and continually spiraling mystery surrounding Dan Harmon & Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo and Peacemaker series creator James Gunn. As you know by now, Rick and Morty, as well as a whole lot of back-up from their universe, are hanging out on the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 filming set. What is the purpose? What message are they trying to send? Who is working with them on the inside? These questions and more remained unanswered- as does a new one that sprang up today after Gunn revealed that Adult Swim's animated money-makers are now putting the signal out to The Vindicators. But it begs the question… why no Beth? Or Space Beth? It vibes like this could be an intentional move… but for what reasons? Or more important than that? Why haven't we been getting enough sleep?

Now here's a look at Million Ants on the scene to assess the situation before filing a report back with the rest for the Vindicators. Meanwhile, "Inspector Gunn" thinks it might all be connected to the VFX department… but could it reach the upper echelons at Marvel Studios? Okay, probably not… but we'll keep you posted…

Rick and Morty: Tales from Alternate Dimensions

Directed by Masaru Matsumoto (Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars) and stemming from Sola Entertainment, the Halloween-inspired The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara sees Rick looking to build the ultimate AI toaster until a trip to Akihabara for spare parts takes a twisted turn for our dimension-hopping duo. Think screws. Now here's a look at The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara, followed by looks at four previously-released shorts:

Directed by Takashi Sano (Tower of God), produced by Sola Entertainment, and animated at Telecom Animation Film, the anime short Rick and Morty vs. Genocider finds Morty going on an adventure to Tokyo, Japan to try and help stop "The Genocider." And yes, it's beautiful, emotional, and some really weird stuff happens:

Sano returned with the new short (produced by Sola Entertainment and animated by Telecom Animation Film) Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil)– following up on his previous short, Rick & Morty vs. Genocider. Here's a look at the newest short, with a focus on Summer and Jerry that goes in ways we didn't expect:

Written and directed by Kaichi Sato, and produced by Studio DEEN, "Samurai & Shogun" finds Rick WTM72 (Yohei Tadano) and Shogun Morty (Keisuke Chiba) in a Lone Wolf and Cub-themed dimension. A nasty group of Ninja Ricks isn't willing to let go of Shogun Morty without a fight – an option that Rick WTM72 is more than willing to oblige. From there, we have a look at the follow-up short that was released last month continuing the story, Samurai and Shogun Part 2:

In the creative spirit of Samurai & Shogun by Kaichi Sato and Rick & Morty vs. Genocider from Takeshi Sano, here's a look at Rick and Morty in the Eternal Nightmare Machine– where even the "Rick-mobile" can prove deadly and you'll wonder like we do why Scary Terry isn't a downloadable character for a fighting game like Mortal Kombat:
