Preview SM144: Alola's Strongest Z! Kapu-Kokeko VS Pikachu!!

[Gabo2oo]

HOLY MOLY THAT ANIMATION THO

 

[Knightwolf09]

Wow, the animation in this episode looks like it'll be amazing. Plus we finally get to see Guardian of Alola!

As for why Satoshi and Kukui are getting to use two Z-Moves... has it ever been established in the anime that it's only one Z-Move per battle? Having said that, it's probably Tapu Koko's influence.

People normally only use 1 z-move cause it takes a lot of energy to use from the trainer and pokemon. How ever imagine you can do it multiple times depending on how much stamina you have left in you, and the two of them are too pumped up.

I'm excited.

Not to mention the same "never not lose" line.

 

[KyseL]

Yep, Nakano has contracted Aito Ohashi again, this will be amazing.

I'm guessing the Tapu are refueling their Z-Power so that they can use another Z-Move each.

Oh my Litleonid Meteor Shower Stars, the animation looks incredible! I can't wait for next week's episode; admittedly, I wasn't too enthused for another skirmish between Tapu Koko and Pikachu given their past bouts, but now the animation team is showcasing exactly what an Island Deity can do-and I am here for it. This preview is certainly one of the most hype in the entire series, imo.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

This is gonna be an amazing conclusion to what is easily the best battle of the entire SM series.

 

[Sakuraa]

Hoping this will be a good ending to this overly drawn out battle. The fact that they're both using Z-Moves here is interesting since each of them already used Inferno Overdrive in the previous episode. It would be great if Rotom's was the cause of it, but I honestly doubt it since they never touched on the Z-Rotom Powers as far as I can remember. Plus that would only effect Ash and not Kukui.

 

[lonerlotad]

There's a lot of comments showing their distaste about Tapu Koko being Kukui's final Pokemon last week and now I'm so happy to see that the upcoming episode is getting quite some good feedback because of the animation. I'm not sure about it story-wise but seeing Ash fighting a Guardian Deity in a stadium is 100x better (because of audience hype) than fighting it in some shrine or ruin.

pikachu may catastropica also

Dude, Ash doesn't even have Pikanium Z.

 

[Panky..]

catastropi

Dude, Ash doesn't even have Pikanium Z.

Or Volt Tackle... (Yes I'm still salty that they dropped it in favor of Electro Ball, which is a shitty move.)

 

[BigDocFan]

Despite my original doubts about this episode, I won't deny the animation looks great

 

[Kairyu]

Iwane also confirmed on twitter he's doing animation in this episode as well.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

Iwane also confirmed on twitter he's doing animation in this episode as well.

So we have Nakano, Iwane, Ohashi, possibly Namba as well and Shimura for the side stuff.

This episode is literally on One Punch Man levels of goodness.

If the writing can also keep up, this will be a god-tier episode.

I loved Volt Tackle's animation. Even when you're not watching Best Wishes it finds ways to hurt you.
