Since everyone is talking about the Tapu Fini mist episode, I wanted to mention something about it too. I will start by saying for SM standards it was a quite good episode, but I was really bothered by one aspect. Although I knew it wasn't going to happen, when Ash was lost in the mist I really wanted to hope they would somehow address something about his father. The kid exists, therefore he biologically has a father. It is disappointing it wasn't addressed at all, especially when there was a moment where it was mentioned that he was missing by other members of the cast, implying he had someone to visit in the mist. SM has lasted for 2.5 years and we know at least something about all classmates parents (both mother and father), and yet after 20+ years still no mention at all of Ash's father. It just seems a bit strange that when one of his friends reunites with while two others are searching for their missing parent that he doesn't even have a reflective moment wondering about (or flashing back if he somehow knows) about his own father. So we get super deep moments with characters they are going to unceremoniously dump in 5 months, but still will never know about the main character's father.
