Volume 4 cover.

Also, this marks the first time where the e-book release is simultaneous with the physical release. This could simply be because digital is more convenient now as other Shogakukan products do this, but it could also be that Pokespe's doing really poorly in book sales physically that they're simply offering the digital version at the same time to try to get some sales.

Hey, @TotallyNotCrt, if a new chapter's about to come out, just make a new thread if we happen to get some important news during that period. No point in adding to the previous thread when it's about to be closed, after all.

As for the volume cover, oh, Anabel's aura is red? I guess that makes sense since UBs are technically fallers, too, so they would have the same color as her.

...Can she use Beast Boost?

Just a thought. You know how in the anime, Anabel can wield telepathy? Basically she's what you call a Psychic, a human who has strange abilities. It's the same label used for people like Yellow, Sabrina and Morty. Well the way Anabel is portrayed there, it looks like she's not just lifting her glove to show off the aura but to actually wield it similar to that of a Psychic. As you said, it's most likely Beast Boost. Although it could just be part of the fact that during the recent chapters, she revealed herself to be a Faller.

Oh wow, the Pokespe site's updated for the first time since January! Unfortunately, every other page now leads to an under construction image like the Pokedex page.

Not sure what it says, but it involves the Daisuki club. Translations are appreciated.

Also, a preview of the calendar poster. Looks like it's a newly drawn, colored version of last month's chapter's final panel.

what, she knocks someone out and then what? does she get stronger? more resistant? faster?

I spy with my little eye something giant, white+gold-ish, that looks like a dragon, so no, I don't think it's just last month's final page, and I think we all know where this is going

Now that it's finally confirmed, we can use the monthly plot threads to discuss any potential USUM stuff instead of the future plot thread.

I'm not surprised, honestly. We've been getting USUM elements for over a year now.

Also, Yamamoto posted a teaser on this chapter today, confirming we'll be seeing the Ultra Recon Squad in it.

So it's pretty clear that there won't be any new Dex Holders then (not like that's not a surprise or anything).

Did people actually expect this? It's not like the SM protags and the USUM protags are different people.

Ultra Recon Squad...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASH!

I cannot contain my excitement. I take it from this Necrozma's going to have quite an interesting and complicated story in the future. I hope they show a much better look at Ultra Megalopolis than the games did.

Moon's change in clothings reminds of me of Y's change in clothes and hair. However what's interesting is that from the looks of those torn-up shirts, it appears they've been lost in the Ultra Wormspace for a long while with little contact to society. On the other hand, it seems like they have made contact... with Pikachu Valley lol? Those Pikachu clothings they both have pretty much points to one particular location. I wonder how Pikachu valley will fit in the Ultra Wormspace stuff. Alternate universe maybe. Maybe an USUM universe separate from the SM universe? Also it's one step closer to Decidueye, my favorite Alolan final-evolved starter!

Since they're in the world where Guzma was taken to but he's not around, maybe he was saved by the URS and has been in Ultra Megalopolis for the past six months.

Ultra Megalopolis would make a lot of sense as sort of a "hub" or "checkpoint" world for people like Guzma and Lusamine to stay at while the heroes go off to save the day.

It evolved? When?

And the new images buy in to my theory that Sun and Moon will end up in a "better" universe where they don't exist but CAN stop a less crazy USUM-personality Lusamine, while the one they came from will become the Ultra Ruin...in the process killing off all of the "old" dexholders so that LGPE can happen...

That's actually very likely, I mean he wouldn't have been able to survive 6 months alone.

It evolved? When?

During the six months they were away.

I'm liking where the story is going right now, they made a clever connection between SM and USUM. Also they look great with the USUM designs, I always loved them more than the SM ones, Moon especially looks great with long hair, I like that Kusaka made a realistic reason for the change of look.

I think they are talking about the Beast Ball in the last page, maybe we'll see it in action next chapter. Also this is a good oportunity for Moon to get either Nihilego or Poipole, the later most likely.

So who else thinks this is going to be less of a finale storyline and more like a Part 2 Story Arc to SM? Cause it does sure seem like that way considering how things were left on a cliffhanger. It kind of feels like how Emerald is Part 2 to FRLG and how Platinum is Part 2/Finale but full-fledge story arc to Diamond and Pearl. If you think about it, the whole wormhole scenario is a classic way to tell different adventures at different locales at quick haste. We could see Sun and Moon at Megalopolis in one moment, we could see them exploring the Ultra Beasts homeworlds the next and we could see them accidentally stepping into a world where Team Rocket wins as a little side-story rather than an epic clash since SM already has it's hands full with the UB storyline.

That's actually very likely, I mean he wouldn't have been able to survive 6 months alone.

I like it when characters hair-styles and clothings change overtime. Love how there continuing on that tradition with the female characters at least. Moon looks fantastic with her hair like that. I hope they do this for the guys in the future but you know GameFreak. They always limit the customizable choices for guys.

To be fair, Emerald also had the same protags as RS and we still got a new character, so the precedent was there.
