It still isn't confirmed that Tsurugi (and Asahi) are Goh's rivals, but it is seeming more likely (for Tsurugi) with the current scans. I will continue to hope we get a RS Urshifu arc following Goh later on.

Ash still has Bea and seemingly Raihan to look forward to, has just had Rinto, and Korina may show up again, + Gary is possible. I think setting up a frequently appearing rival early in the series would have been difficult given the episodic nature of the show and would likely have taken away from other opponents.
Though unlike opponents that Ash can always overcome later, how will the show handle Pokémon that Goh attempts to catch that are caught by his rivals? I doubt we will see multiple Moltres/ Regice in the show.
Well Goh's Wurmple/Silcoon rivalry hasn't been brought up since episode 22, so I am glad that they are expanding on his opponents.Goh gets a rival and Ash still doesn't have one yaaaaay... At least Gary and best Monke are back.

Given we see Tsurugi vs. Regice, and Gary (who may be a member) vs. Moltres, I assume that the project Mew members are like Goh and are not only trying to capture Mew. The pre-Mew rivalry will likely revolve around various legendary/ mythical Pokémon with occasional attempts at catching Mew.I admit I wonder how this will go; if the rivalry is about capturing Mew then the only way to win that rivalry is to capture Mew. So in theory this rivalry might end in a tie if neither captures them by the end?
