How are Zir and Conia still working for the Explorers? Spinel still doesn't know they are helping Amethio?

Rayoch12026-01-24 06:38

He knows, he just doesn't care because he thinks he's several steps ahead of them with countermeasures in place.

Narlaw2026-01-24 16:18

It can also be useful to let moles be to feed them wrong info.

Goku-MIEL100320022026-01-24 07:28

I hope 100% Zygarde shows up next ep, it’d make beating the six heroes much smoother.

_-_Rasse_-_2026-01-24 23:08

I'm guessing it'll only be 50% but it'll still be cool as hell

LeonKevlar2026-01-24 10:25

I've never been so happy to see [Amethio inside the Volteccers' briefing room.](https://i.imgur.com/69W6vmb.png) I really want him to become an official member, but he's definitely gonna end up taking over Exceed and the Explorers by the end of this.

[Charcadet/Carbou wearing the Auspcious Armour](https://i.imgur.com/Zw6iVwK.png) is so goddamn adorable. I do like how he doesn't immediately evolve just by wearing it. He actually had to get used to fighting while wearing the armour before he finally evolved.

Liko and Charcadet were definitely amazing this episode and were really creative during the battle. [Making Charcadet turtle inside the armour](https://i.imgur.com/9qhlizA.png) to lessen the damage from Salamence and [using the armour to reduce the recoil from Take Down](https://i.imgur.com/ARRxHRX.png) were both pretty inspired moves. I also love [the use of Fire Spin as a defensive move](https://i.imgur.com/jqNAtnR.png) and to [lure the two Salamence into a trap](https://i.imgur.com/wnip3nJ.png).
[So when Charcadet finally evolves into Armorouge/Gurenarma](https://i.imgur.com/tM0AzWs.png), it definitely feels earned.

Haven't been the biggest fan of this most recent arc (the one that started with the kids going to Blueberry Academy), but this one was one of the best episodes of this entire post-timeskip era. This show has always been at its best when it focuses on Amethio or Liko so having another episode primarily focused on the two of them was always bound to be a banger (i don't think we've had one of these since that pre-timeskip one when they were trapped in the cave?). Loved that little moment where Amethio realized how free the RVT are as the ship soars through the night sky, as well as him dwelling on his mistakes from the beginning of the show, and i loved seeing how far Liko has evolved as a battler as she lures the Salamence into the Fire Vortex so Amethio and her can finish them off. Spinel trapping the kids in a Saw trap was hilariously diabolical, I cant wait to see how this goes down

EDIT: TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE EPISODE WHERE LIKO FINDS AMETHIO ON THE ISLAND

MadJester982026-01-24 23:39

>(i don't think we've had one of these since that pre-timeskip one when they were trapped in the cave?).

You are forgetting the episode post time-skip where liko goes finding amethio on the deserted island and ceruledge trains charcadet, which was in fact another banger of an episode

mobpiecedunchaindan2026-01-24 23:55

TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE

Rayoch12026-01-24 14:57

This was a nice calm-before-the-storm episode before the next one.

Nice to see both Amethio and Ult showing their respective growths and appreciation for the Rising Volteccers/Volt Tacklers.

Even without Friede around, the team is all-round solid. The youngers blazing ahead whilst the senior members provide that steady rear support.

I really did love that Ceruledge/Charcadet team up showing that true bonds with their trainers, and each other, will prevail in the face of strong sphere usage.

TheOneWithALongName2026-01-24 22:34

Armorouge lets go.

This means Dots Quaxwell is the only one left to evolve.

Xatu442026-01-25 02:48

LMAO at Ult just being totally clueless to Amethio's cryptic pensive aura farming. I hate seeing those poor Salamences suffer, but the battle was pretty good. Using Clear Smog to dispel the Dragon Dances was great and the Armor Cannon looked fantastic. Armarouge's evolution and the double Fire Armor Bros posing was hype as hell. Liko got to show her cooler side here too, so that's great.

The end scene with everyone getting isolated into fight cages is cool. Liko vs. Kleavor is dangerous thanks to the Bug-type, but Meowscarada still has super-effective damage. Roy vs. G-Moltres has a juicy dogfight if Kilowattrel gets to pop off, but Skeledirge is gonna need to Terastallize to dodge those Fiery Wraths. Quaxwell's not a good matchup for Arboliva, but Dot's otherwise fine with two jacked Steel-types and a full-health team. Ult gets a cool Dragon fight with Dragonite vs. Gouging Fire. Meanwhile Amethio gets... Zygarde? vs. Lapras, which is pretty rough. And then there's all of the Explorers too who I forgot about briefly, so that's gonna complicate things. Great to see Sango back. And my boy Spinel with his Bond villain Umbreon.
