Yup, they're beating Corona by literally going to a hot spot. Absolutely NOTHING can go wrong!
Still better than making a soccer tournament in the country that is the epicenter of the pandemic. Absolutely NOTHING can go wrong!Yup, they're beating Corona by literally going to a hot spot. Absolutely NOTHING can go wrong!
I appreciated that, as well. Gary spring-boarded Ash's growth in earlier series, and it's nice to see him reprise the rival role, but this time, as Goh's rival. I hope the writers actually develop this rivalry.I like how this episode has Gary set up not only the Project Mew organization, who seem to have a trinket-based system that you know is going get those who like their quantifiables and check-lists going hard, it also has Gary internally inspire Goh to seek out a rival of his own that he can grow alongside and be motivated by, with, ideally, an eventual bond that mirrors the one Ash has with Gary.
Like, this episode does a handful of things, but it does so in a very good way. Gary has often been the catalyst springboarding a character's continued progress, so I like how he does the same thing for Goh here, two-fold: first by being the one who introduces Project Mew, albeit stealthily/indirectly, and also by inciting within Goh the idea of finding and fostering a rivalry with a like-minded individual.
Well said, and well put, too.Goh gets along so well with Ash that it's easy to forget he's actually not that sociable—at least, not with other humans. The fact that one of his reasons for initially refusing to join Project Mew is he doesn't like being part of a team highlighted that, and I appreciate that the writers haven't discarded (or forgotten about) that aspect of his character. Sure, he has changed since befriending Ash (who apparently has magical powers that promote character development in people), but he still has a ways to go.
