To be fair, Conia probably didn't want to hurt Sprigatito and let her Golduck go down. It's not great for it to be offscreened, but that's what I was thinking had happened. I'd say that the weakest parts of this particular episode were the action sequences. They felt rather rushed in the second half of the episode, even when things were building up to something cool.
That aside, I think the action was the only thing I disliked about the episode. The character interactions were a lot of fun, Liko's inner dialogue is still really amusing, and I've really gotten to enjoy the Explorers/Rising Volt Tacklers confrontations (at least until this episode). My thought is that the next episode will help set things further in motion, both for Roy and Liko.
Speaking of which, why is there such a dislike of Roy thus far? Sure, he's acting a little like Ash when it comes to interacting with Fuecoco, but is that a problem? To me, it's not. It just shows how he's a different kind of character compared to Liko, being a lot more outgoing than she is/was.
By the way, I really loved the scene with them encouraging each other to fight. I think it would've been infinitely better if they both got to battle back both of their foes to the point where they'd be struggling, only for Amethio to charge in and attempt to take Liko's pendant. I will admit, this is probably my least favorite episode so far. There was some good setup and great character moments, but it ultimately did get brought down by poor action sequences. I'm hoping that next week will get us back in action.
P.S. I'm not really shipping Liko and Roy, but that little joke at the start of the episode got a good chuckle out of me.
