I just watched this episode. This is easily a 10/10 episode, and one of the strongest episodes in the entire anime. I say this as someone who barely watched Sun & Moon, and I really regret that right now. It was great to see the dynamic between Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine, and their interactions felt natural and not forced. For example, when Gladion was about to attack the shiny Nihilego and Lusamine stopped him, her reason was “he thinks that’s his daughter, how would you feel if someone attacked your daughter?” That was extremely good writing on its own, and the episode is stocked full of moments like that. Not to mention how tragic it was that Mohn has amnesia, and how it was overcame by the end of the episode felt very believable.
For Sun & Moon fans, this must be cathartic. As someone who watched all of XY, the Serena episode had a similar reaction for me. I’ve been rewatching XY recently, and I just finished XY060, which had me in tears knowing what would happen to Serena by JN105. I can only imagine rewatching Sun & Moon, knowing that Lillie and her family finally find Mohn in Journeys, would make the Lillie focused episodes in Sun & Moon hit much harder. Once I finish my XY rewatch, I’ll watch Sun & Moon ASAP. I keep hearing how great it is, and it’s time to catch up with what I missed out on. Beautiful episode overall, the Sun & Moon fans absolutely deserved this.
