Preview JN071: Let's Go! Project Mew!!

[Unireon]

It seems that we have more new characters.

Also, this is the one that ends up in failure.

Also, this is the one that ends up in failure.

Why do you think so?

 

[CyberKitten05]

Anyway, based on the title alone this episode is clearly not “just another Goh capture”. It has far more significance to the overall plot and his goal.

Ok but Ninetales will still become a background character with only cameos after this episode

TV Tokyo is not listing an OP/ED for the episode at the moment, so there may be a new OP/ED or at least a new version of one of them.

 

[Unireon]

Why do you think so?

I'm assuming that this is the one that ends with Tsurugi giving Gou that scolding.

 

[BigDocFan]

If other members of Project Mew are involved in trying to get Alolan Ninetales, I would like to see them get it instead of Goh, prove he won't have an easy time of it like just throwing a Poke Ball without weakening it first

The scolding could happen in the middle of the episode, after them almost getting lost in a blizzard or something.

Each Trial Mission is specifically designated for a single Trainer. That's the impression I got from when Gary did his mission.

 

[Unireon]

I think that having the episode end on such a low note would create more impact.

I think it's more about Goh learning a lesson during the episode rather than at the end.

Probably, but the capture itself will still be more significant. Also it could get another episode or two like some of his others.

Is he going to take a back seat after being reprimanded?

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Is he going to take a back seat after being reprimanded?

I doubt that. It's his episode, after all.

 

[Unireon]

I doubt that. It's his episode, after all.

If the scolding happens mid-episode.....
Tsurugi dismissed Gou, telling him he's failed the mission....

But then Gou will insist on try to pass the trial, to prove Tsurugi wrong.....
Isn't that disregarding his superior's orders?

 

[Twilight-Kun]

Kyukon with a very overt wariness that can be interpreted as anger...

Oh good, it's absol all over again

 

[swiftgallade46]

Oh good, it's absol all over again

In what sense?

He's not berating Goh over failing the mission. It's just that something almost fatal, like getting lost in a snowstorm, happens, and Tsurugi berates Goh and Ash on their reckless behavior.

 

[Unireon]

The translation could have given it a different meaning.
But if he says 'You're disqualified'......
Then the first thing one could think is that Gou failed.

I'm just considering that possibility.
Why would he berate Satoshi? He's only there and not taking part of the mission.

Maybe because Ash's life was on the line too?

 

[Unireon]

If that's the case, Satoshi needs to snap back at Tsurugi.
He shouldn't allow that kind of remarks from someone that doesn't hold any power over him.

Maybe-joke aside.
I'd like if they put a call-back to him defeating Regice before.
That at least would justify why Satoshi thought that he could deal with this one.

 

[Hidden Mew]

This irritates me Ngl

This was a perfect opportunity for Lillie to return with a fully evolved Snowy

But nah let's just waste Alolan Ninetales on Goh.

It really makes me wonder what was the point in Lillie holding on to that Ice Stone?

I guess Snowy is doomed to be like Rowlet

To be fair, an Alolan Ninetales appearing here doesn't mean it's impossible for Lillie to eventually appear with her own evolved Snowy down the road. Plus, I think the lack of a proper follow up to the Ice Stone in SM proper kind of made the decision of giving it to Lillie questionable at best already. Given that Snowy was never particularly good in battle, I don't think leaving it unevolved would be the worst thing either.
