My biggest episode review video of all time! Even longer than Ash VS Leon's finale review somehow! I genuinely put so much time and work into this review, this episode hit me so hard and even got me in my feels a fair bit. I love this series and I love this community so deeply 💙 I'm really sorry that I couldn't add subtitles/captions to my video this time, I just didn't have enough time 😥 but I'm going to try my best to add captions through UA-cam's system tonight when I'm home! And future videos will have subtitles/captions at upload like my last few videos did! Thank you all! ❄ Join our community Discord server - discord.com/invite/Ftu9V5wrBN
The fact that pokemon like is completely transparent about communication being so important is super mature. They’ve been going through this theme for forever, but the honesty, gratitude, and self awareness that talking it out was so crucial for human beings is amazing.
I think it's one thing that I love about Horizons. I'm not saying the ashime never did it, but Horizons seems to center communication and feelings a lot more often. I feel like it treats its viewers as intelligent.
The focus that Horizons is giving to communicating your feelings, in all manners, is genuinely so refreshing. It feels so mature, yet so neccessary of a lesson to teach kids. I'm really impressed with it 😁
That is also why a person like Gibeon is the perfect villain - he didn't allow his own grandson to explain his side of the story because he had already made up his mind and never even considered that he could be wrong.
I never underestimated Horizons. The writers are taking their time with the characters and thats absolutely amazing to witness! Tbh, I dont even miss Ash anymore. Oh and I love the star wars references lately😂 Amethio IS the definition of a gray jedi, or at least he has the potential to be
I feel like Spinel knew Amethio and Liko would escape, as the Explorer's plan was to delay help, not stop. If anything, Spinel gives off the energy that he even made the crack in the ground specifically so his Beheyeem would catch Amethio helping Liko. He gives off the energy that he plans that far ahead, and that makes him both insanely dangerous as a villain and exciting to watch. Legit, i cant wait to see what happens next episode, and like you, this episode got me so hype!! By far one of the coolest episodes to date
@eljordinio7647 Oh yeah. Imagine Amethio meeting Alain & Alain tells Amethio about his past. Can't deny that would be interesting. It won't happen, I know. But imagine that happened.
I LOVED this! The fact that Hamber/Sidian/Coral didn't IMMEDIATELY believe in Amethio betraying everyone, and they questioned it, and even at the end they looked slightly conflicted about it... it's genuinely so awesome. It shows just how much thought the writers are putting into making sure each of these characters are their own distinct people, and not getting lost in the crowd. They feel so real. I can't wait to see if this leads to anything down the line! 🔥
This was such a perfect example of that! It really does show that Amethio has a good side too. And that's definitely gonna be explored further in the future 😁
Just seeing Ceruledge wanting to help him out, showing that it's ok to receive it. Poor Amethio probably hasn't had much genuine help without some kind of catch to it😢
Maybe if he wouldn't have allowed his issues with his son fester on him, maybe Amethio could stay loyal forever. Also I wonder what Gibeon really did that made Terapagos so angry when just looking at his grandchild? Maybe something even worse than what we imagine!
i'm still sad that Journeys anime is the the way Ash's leave, it could be better. But well following Horizons from the beginning is really amazing experience
@@brilleon Journeys really wasn't that bad, Aim to be a Master was the problem, especially the last few episodes. (Mishandling of Team Rocket after their final blast-off, the "final boss" being a random hunter rather than Giovanni, and Gary being done horribly dirty, without even a battle.)
@@kevinlee7678 i count Mesaze Pokemon Master also as a part of the "Journeys" anime. Even in English version, the title is Master Journeys. There's an episode i don't understand why is it there, an episode about Shuppet(?) and Kid Nurse Joy. Why is it not in the main Journeys? Why is it in Ash's last season? 😂 The whole Journeys isn't a bad series, I watched the every episodes every week, just... for me if i could make a story for Ash's last appearance, it would be focusing just to Ash. Many Journeys' episodes are focused on Goh, I was fine with it since that time i didn't know that was Ash's last "journeys", his last anime. Even sometimes Ash looks more newbie than Goh. For me recommending Journeys is harder in my heart than convincing someone to watch SM because they never watch it in the first place just because of the artstyle changed
Pokemon Journey was a disaster, but it still had its moments (Ash getting a Lucario, the Celebi episode, Lillie's arc being concluded and of course Ash VS Leon). But yeah, Pokemon Horizons puts pretty much every past series on shame (maybe except DP and SM which I consider the only other good ones overall).
I feel like Liko will blame herself the second she learns that Amethio got booted & someone like Carmine will ask Liko if getting all the hero mons & going to Rakua is actually her dream or if she’s just doing it out of obligation?
HZ constantly dropping peak every week. The best part of the episode easily was conversation between Liko and Amethio. And it's neat, how their journeys had the same beginning and same goal yet with different ways towards that goal. Spinel is just as a*hole as he always is. Kinda funny how Chalse and Spinel were ready to set Amethio up yet Coral and Sidian hesitated. Finale of this arc seems promising as well with Explorers attacking the school. My theory is that Liko will eventually put serious work at helping to defeat Explorers and as gratitude Grusha will pass Liko.
A lot of people are making Zuko comparisons, and while I love the idea of Amethio taking a similar path, it does have me a bit worried. Zuko chased Aang to the point of obsession, cut off people who cared about him like Iroh in the process, and made even greater enemies with Team Avatar when he spat in the face of their attempts to relate to him Makes me wonder if Amethio will act similarly, trying so hard to win back the trust of his grandfather that he ends up hurting his Pokemon and/or Zirc and Conia in doing so, maybe going too far against the RVT that gets one of them hurt, and if he tries to be an ally to them later (potentially after learning the Explorers’ goals may not be as altruistic as he thinks) they may not believe him or trust him, even Liko. Whatever path Amethio walks now, I get the feeling it won’t be pretty for him
Amethio is basically zuko at home. Thankfully zuko at home is still really good. I love it. The last two episodes have been fantastic as I feel like we're getting out of the training arc and back in to what Horizons really wants to be, stepping a bit away from the traditional pokemon anime again and moving back in its own direction. I'm excited to see Friede rejoin the group, and I think the main characters are going to be a lot more competent from here on out. This episode is making it pretty clear that Liko isn't going to complete her terrastal training course.. but instead going to get something even better. She's going to need to work for it, explore a second path, as the episode so eloquently puts it, but it's going to be awesome. I'm betting on some sort of terastalization involving Terapagos, where she'll be able to do it without a tera orb, maybe even unlocking a once per battle tera stellar for all of her pokemon. Competitively, tera stellar may not be the best tera type, but in the anime... I think that would be very cool.
If I had to guess Amethio’s arc, he’ll stray on his own for a while until the Rising Volt Tacklers offer him to join. However, after traveling with them for a while, he’ll take Terapagos & the Six Heroes once Liko has acquired them since he’s given the opportunity to gain Gibeon’s forgiveness. Then, everything will come to a clash in Lakua when Amethio is forced to make a choice in the final confrontation but ultimately decides to join Liko & the Rising Volt Tacklers again
There was more character communication in that scene than some shows have in a whole season. I LOVED this whole episode. I also thought it was interesting that half of the explorers were having doubts about what spinel presented and wanted to let amethio explain himself - I wonder if there’s a future conflict there. grusha on the snowboard was so great too.
Random theory/prediction. Ametheo's dad gave him a Charcadet, and his dad himself has a Armarourge, and Ametheo got the "ghost armor" from his Grandfather to evolve Charcadet.
I'll call it now. Amethio with the help of sango, onyx, and hamber will help Liko in returning terapagos to Rakua along with the six heroes Lucius brought with him. And a plot twist about Lucius will be revealed in Rakua for sure
I came to the comment to basically write this with extra steps. I'm starting to wonder if Amethio is the grandson of both Lucian and Gibeon and if they are literally pulling that storyline: Two now former friends grew into an argument, 2 generations later their paths have joined yet again. Zuko's Grandfathers were the Fire Lord that actually started the war (Ozai just kept it going), and Roku the Avatar Previous to Aang. So Amethio being the Grandson of Gibeon, the person that wants to use Lachua for his own selfish goals AND the protector of Lachua... Just would further solidify both your analogy and the dichotomy of Amethio's character.
Kind of sad that even Coral and Sidian were doubtful of Spinel's "evidence" enough to give Amethio a chance to explain himself, but his own Grandad didn't even give him the chance and just booted him. Hamber also looked surprised when Gibeon just cast judgement instantly. Poor Amethio, Spinel is a real jerk but i do gotta give props for intelligence. Hopefully his conversation with Liko will eventually lead him to joining or at least helping the Tacklers. I doubt he will just switch sides immediately though, helping Gibeon is Amethio's goal and clearly something he's been working towards for a while, likely since he was young. So its unlikely he'll go against Gibeon right away, he'll blame Spinel for getting him kicked out but will likely seek ways to redeem himself to Gibeon at first. Though perhaps through journeying on his own he may start to question Gibeon's goals, we'll have to see. Still this will definitely be the start of a big change for Amethio, thats for sure.
Amethio the entire time was a wolf among snakes but I do like how Obsidian and Hamber was going to stand up for him and even Sango wanted to hear Amethio out as if the set up was too dirty even for her. I feel like Spinel knew of Gibeon's feelings towards his father for straying from the Explorers which makes you wonder what happened and he basically exploited those negative feelings and threw Amethio under the bus. Sort of like how in Shield Hero, Myne exploited her father Altcray's hatred towards the previous Shield Hero and demis to get her way until she was exposed for it. It looks like he even got Agate to be fully in on it while Sango and Obsidian are just playing along at the time. Amethio at least makes it clear that he doesn't like the methods his fellow Explorers employs and that he makes it clear that he will get Rayquaza and Terrapagos the old fashion way going as far as to warn Liko of Spinel's treachery knowing she and the other Volt Tacklers will be dealing with him more in the future especially now that he has an understanding on how to utilize a pokemon intoxication drug to possibly exploit Terrapagos.
I actually saw this coming back in the first few episodes, amethio helping the volt tacklers achieve their goals. Amethio gives off anti-hero vibes, not of a villain
This is was literally the best ever episode OMG it had everything i needed to see, hear and much more the whole Amethio and Liko talk writer did everything i wanted to be talked about and i loved it and Amethio deep inside has really sincere and gentle side especially towards Liko especially when they were escaping the cave and he offered her a hand🥰🥰🥰. Roy and Dot yeah losing was little dirty but i guess writer wanted to show even if they bonded and got stronger doesn't mean they are perfect. Now the end listen i love and respect Spinel so much as a Villain but this end scene made me really wanna punch him in the face so much he literally traped Amethio in the cave to make him "dissappear" but also had a backup plan if that would not work he can show to everyone how Amethio is helping the enemy, because Spinel knew Amethio has that little sincerity and kindness towards Liko and he used that sincerity and kindness to his advantage what a SLIMY SCUMBAG uhh i gotta give it to Spinel he really is smart and always 2 steps ahead of getting what he wants and the fact that Gibeon trusted his workers instead of his OWN GRANDSON and kicked him out that was just hard to watch i felt so bad for Amethio, plz Amethio get your revenge on Spinel right now you deserve so better 10/10 episode.
If I recall correctly it wasnt said that Grushia couldnt snowboard again, but more that his injury, while it healed, wouldnt let him play *competitively* as well as he used too so he switched to Pokemon battling. So - he can still snowboard, he simply cant push it as hard as he eused to be able too
It could be a similar relationship to what Marin and Alain had. They aren’t related but Alain cared so much for Marin and did whatever he could to help her and Chespie and she adores him!!
@@730Flaremore like moms side cuz Lucius is definitely related to likos grandma and I think that Lucius is definitely related to the explorers maybe his siblings is the leader of it and then started hating him and then betrayed him or smt like that
Slightly off topic, by this scene that was mentioned about their talk between Lico and Amithio remind me of Power Rangers Time Force when Wesley Collins had his talk with Eric Meyer. They both came to the realization that they had changed their destinies and that they were the same despite having grown up differently from each other
Glad this episode had Liko and Amethio starting a dynamic that might develop further in their later encounters. Part of me feels like Amethio might shift from being Friede's rival to Liko's as both of them are foils to one another. Even their main Pokemon's Types (or future Type in Floragato's case) counter each other: fire beats Grass, Dark beats Ghost. I do worry that Amethio might grow even more obsessed with proving himself to Gibeon by being even more determined to take Terapagos from Liko.
20 min. Pokefarlax review, woohoo 🙌🎉! I don't have enough words to describe this episode; besides the nitpick about Roy and Dot's battle, which I agree with, this is definitely close to a big 10/10! I definitely wasn't expecting the ending. The only thing that would have made it better is if Amethio had told the story of his father, like why did he side with his grandfather instead? Maybe that could be addressed in the future.🤔 But most importantly, I wonder what will Amethio do now - will he follow his own path no matter what others think of him, or will he cave in and seek his grandfather's forgiveness? It will take a while for him to regain his composure so I bet we'll see a major character development arc for him soon. Whatever happens I hope Onia and Zirc stick with Amethio and give him support.💎💎💎 I suspect Spinel will cause major infighting within the Explorers, wasn't it implied that he would betray Gibeon if given the chance too? Who knows, maybe Coral and Sidian will also switch sides in the far, far future.😮
This is probably the best story line i ever seen on the anime big W to the writers, seeing amethios redemption arc in the series and being the anti hero of the series and spinel being the most perfect evil villain of the series this anime really grew on me a lot. Cant wait to continue on with this series, a hands down great anime.
And the English dub of that episode is not even out yet The English dub is so far behind 😭 Hopefully that episode will be one of the episodes that is coming out in English dub in November
Coral and Sidian? They're still Sandwhich and Onigiri in my mind. I liked how there are members who are willing to hear Amethio out, and was surprised Sango asked first.
The way the things were heading, I could tell that Amethio would eventually either betray his comrades or be set up by Spinel and fired from the organization altogether. I gotta say though, it happened a lot sooner than I expected. The latter outcome ended up happening and I figured that one was more likely to happen than the other. Something, well, 2 things that have gotten me curious is the identity of Amethio's father, even if it ultimately ends up not mattering in the end, he's so far sounding like a fairly significant character, I can't shake the feeling that it could potentially be someone we've already met in the series, but yeah that's likely not the case. The other thing is what made him leave the explorers, but not be there to save his son from...well, shall we say, ''indoctrination''. So far we know he ''strayed from the path'' as Gibeon put it, but the question is how things ended for Amethio's father, was he set up to fail like his son was in this episode, or did he actually strike out?
There are so many ways the Amethio “redemption/anti-hero” arc could go down. Would he be reluctant to join another group so soon after getting booted from the Explorers? Is he truly alone or will his two “followers” try to help him? Will Ceruledge be the one to pull him out of his slump? The writers did kinda fumble on the Dot and Roy vs Onyx and Sango fight. They could’ve had the two Explorers literally box the two in-Stone Edge for the barrier, ice to keep from immediately smashing through it. Rather than the two kids mostly being on the back foot.
Another amazing episode. Like most people in comments are saying: there is a chance that Amethio may try to join the RVTs as obviously they have the same goal, he also realizes that while staying with them he can re-encounter Spinel and stopping him becomes his new goal.
I doubt him zirc and onia are going to join the RVT there is no room on the ship for them it is why Diana had to sleep on the couch 8 rooms is all it has. Also it would be way better amethio and his crew go to his dad and other family for a few episodes and his dad and other family are knights and they train as a new knight order that save people and Pokémon like the gmen, aura guardians, rangers etc and we see them doing knight missions from time to time with COTD or people not from the main cast like Diana or Anne etc. They will be allies to the RVT but have more to do besides just following the RVT.
@@RedRaikou Yeah and it makes sense amethio whole theme is knight his shoe, creuledge is a knight corviKNIGHT and I definitely think amethio dad has armarouge and gave amethio charcadet.
I'm definitely thinking he's Pokémon's Zuko, but he's not gonna join up with the RVT anytime soon. This is Spinel pulling the wool over his grandfather's eyes, Amethio needs something more to shake his faith in Gibeon specifically. I think ousting Amethio will instead make him double down to try and get back in his grandfather's good graces. Kind of like the reclaiming one's honor portion of Zuko's storyline. He'll have some big screw up later that shatters Liko's trust in him/the notion of teaming up, but then he'll find out something awful about Gibeon that causes him to bail, like maybe what Gibeon did to Lucius that made Terapagos hate him so much, and that's when he'll go to team up and try to make things right.
@@nishalsairamgaming7892 my personal thoughts are it's something of an Ursa situation. There's some guarantee that Ame wouldn't be harmed if they left, but if they took Ame, they would be all be killed. Gibeon's used their absence to indoctrinate the kid. I do think he killed Lucius tho. Probably some indirect way like Sozin letting Roku die.
Calling it: Arc 4 will end with Amethio backstabbing Liko and co after theyve learned to trust him, leading to him taking Terapagos and getting back to his granpa's good graces.
This is DEFINITELY one of the BEST episodes so far. Loved the fact that Amethio was the one to wake Liko up from her slump. Definitely makes sense that the Academy course is not the only way to get Terastallization. Anyways, what's stopping her from using the orb if she doesn't report to the Academy again😈 150/10 episode. I really _really_ hope we get a Zuko vs Zhao parallel when all the conflicts reach their peak where Spinel would be falling to an open-interpretation death or something and Amethio reaches out to him but he's like 'I'd rather die than take your hand' cuz that is the kinda guy Spinel feels like. Amethio is now Season 2 Zuko, neither with the villain nor with the heroes. Just finding his footing. I can also see the 'Friede and Amethio being like dad-son' hopes of the fandom come true, Friede already treats him like a kid. I am pretty sure Gibeon (I was calling him Gideon this whole time🙈) is one of the original Explorers travelling with Lucius (Liko's grandmother said Explorers used to be Lucius' friends). Amethio must look really like a young Gibeon who travelled with Lucius, which is why Terapagos is reacting weirdly to him. I have two theories regarding Lucius and the Explorers: 1. Lucius is in Rakua alone, which is why the Explorers are working against him since they feel betrayed and why his team is all scattered over the world and regards the Explorers with bitterness as they think they were the ones who took Lucius away. [Probablity- 12.5%] 2. Explorers betrayed Lucius just before they reached Rakua, thus his team was scattered after his demise and the Explorers now want to capture Rekkuza and Terapagos to reach Rakua. Terapagos is blaming Gibeon/Amethio for Lucius' expiration. [Probability- 60%]
Roy and Dot weren't trying to battle at the beginning, they were trying to escape, and that getting shut down threw off their rhythm for the rest of the battle.
Amethio remember Zuko from Avatar and Hunter from The Owl House present a bad character from the star and evolved from a nice character with parents trauma.
Honestly I can see the main villains being Spinel & Agate following Gibeon to Rakua, and the other members of the explorers having revolted. Amethio will 100% not be joining the Explorers again after this. Coral, Sideon, and Hamber (Amethio’s mentor?) were hesitant on weather or not Amethio fully betrayed them, and since they seem to be about as young as Amethio I think there’s a chance they can persuaded to join the Rising Volt Tacklers side ina final battle. But fr tho, Spinel having set this up so that Amethio and Liko need to work together is like EVIL GENIUS levels. But I don’t think he realizes he just make their bond stronger. He probably doesn’t care though, since his only goal is to get Gibeon’s heir out of the picture.
Terapagos: Aang Liko: Katara Roy: Sokka Dot: Toph Amethio: Zuko Spinel: Zhao Gibeon: Ozai At this point I’m starting to get suspicious. And that’s coming from someone who hasn’t been following the series for a quite a while.
The thing with Roy and dot here- they did not want to battle. They were in a rush to find liko, so the last thing they were thinking about was putting up an actual good fight. They were actively trying to distract Sango and Onyx so they could flee.
11:00-11:06 As a Star Wars fan myself, I love that you included this in your Pokémon Horizons episode review. I just watched this episode right now, and I really enjoyed it mostly because of the scenes featuring Liko and Amethio together. I like that they finally understand each other as two individuals who want to reach Laqua rather than just hero and villain respectively. Also, Amethio being fired from the Explorers surprised me, but it really makes excited that now he will go through an arc similar to Zuko from _Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005 TV series)_ . Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
It's been over a year and it's gotten worse since this episode came out. I hate this part of the fandom and make it look like it's going to be a ship while it is an interaction between a protagonist and an antihero. Liko is probably still a child and Amethio is confirmed to be between 13 and 19 years old. Scary asf 😭
Yeah like Liko she is 10 while Amethio he's a teenager around his 16-17 so like that's a huge age gap between them. Also I don't ship name like I see them have the siblings energy
@@Camillakittycat55 Hey, at least it’s not *as bad* as people that ship May (age 12) with Steven (age 25) in the Hoenn games 💀 …I’m not joking, this is an actual thing, it’s disgusting
Leave it to Spinel to get Amethio kicked out of the explorers, and by his own grandfather no less Spinel and Amethio always seemed to have it out for each other. Though now Amethio's redemption arc begins
I'm thinking more Ame trying to reclaim his honor. The Avatar parallels this episode really made me think about Zuko's character arc, and how Zuko doubled down when we all thought he was going to redeem himself in Ba Sing Se. Amethio needs something to shake his faith in his grandfather, this is Spinel manipulating things to make him look bad in his grandfather's eyes. I'm thinking that he will have a similar severe screw up like Zuko did, learn something terrible about Gibeon, and that's when he'll join up with the gang.
Poor ametheo Spinel is such a slime ball i hope ametheo joins the rising volt tacklers . Or maybe this is a trick to get liko to let her gard down so he can steel terapagos later
Just an assumption of mine, I believe something connects liko's grandmother and amethio's grandfather even though it's unknown if liko's grandmother really wants to go to rakua or not but she gave that pendant to liko how and where she got that pendant so yeah
Hey Pokeferlax great job on another great review of Pokémon horizons episodes so much to take in with this one thanks for sharing your views and as always keep up with your work really appreciate and love watching your amazing videos 👍❤️🦊❄️
Im not gonna lie I’m liking this series way more than Ash’s adventures! It feels slightly more mature and the plot is SO good so far with some interesting and diverse characters in motives and personality. Last few episodes have completely thrown me out a window, I am shook
Don’t get me wrong man I never expected Pokémon horizons to take such a massive leap in logic when it came down to it I mean, it kinda tugged on the heartstrings a little bit when Ash retired😔 but honestly, it had a massive impact on me, but I was willing to give horizons the benefit of the doubt, and of course at some point I was considering not watching the series, but I guess hearing your reaction on how the episode played out I can tell you were getting massive goosebumps from one episode to the next And the fact that the explorer pretty much banished him because they thought of him as a traitor, I guess you’re right on that one they clearly had no idea that they had just did exiling him from the explorers what’s pretty much the worst mistake that they ever had done and even getting disowned by his own grandfather pretty much was the final straw that broke the camels back apparently The bad guys were trying to live his grandson and that bailed their next option was to in fact get him kicked out since the first plan failed I’ll always watch a content Keep it up 🤘🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
I wanted to wait to watch the series dubbed so I stopped watching your videos for a few months but man I had to come back lol. Keep up the good work! I’ll keep watching!
The antagonists in this Pokemon season is gamer changer. Gibeon and Spinel they will definitely contradict each other at some point and Amethio is going to suffer from here but his plot story is going to be most amazing in the series. Now they should draft nicely our three protagonists and it will be peak😊
@@fraserodonnell7618his umbreon describes his motives alone. The fact that it looked so monstrous and terrifying, even though it evolves via high friendship at night, makes me think that could happen
Spinel’s ambitions are just getting bigger and bigger as time goes on! It wouldn’t shock me at all if he even tries to overthrow Gibeon in the end! In fact, I think that’d be such a cool storyline! 🔥
AUAUAGAGAHAGUATWGWGSFSUSJSWIEHE I Absolutly 𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿 Amethio to join the volt tacklers after this... I seriously hope he doesn't take his anger out on Liko for getting him basically kicked out of the explorers....I hope he understands after getting kicked out he doesn't need to live up to Gibeon...
@@courage1363 I know But im worried he'll be to blinded by anger and rage next time he sees Liko and wont give 2 ♔︎𓃗𓃱♕︎♔︎ and will just battle her straight away.
Amethio, zirc and onia will not be joining the RVT on their airship there is no room its why Diana had to sleep on the couch and he even said he will take his own path. So those 3 are most likely going to find amethio dad and other family who I think are knights since its amethio whole theme and they get their own airship and make a knight crew and go on knight missions from time to time like gmen, aura guardians, rangers etc.
@@sxmmy_drxw_ Maybe? Again, though, that still means that, if we do seem him, his story in the games might have already occurred and the Kieran we see is one post-DLC/Mochi Mayhem.
Kieran story is going to be changed and simple like penny no team star and working in the league, Kieran will be he is BB champion and enjoying his school life and doesn’t care about ogerpon like in the games.
I feel this could lead to other membes of the Exploers separating from the Explorers as like you said Hamber, Coral and Sidain doubted the evidence of Amethio's betrayel so they may be seeing the corruption in the group plus Hamber is sort of like the Iroh to Amethio's Zuko. Also Onia and Zirc might just leave since they respected Amethio
Spinel gives me the vibe of an usurper. I feel like he plans to take all the power for himself and either it works, or Anethio’s grandfather will already be aware and have Spinel’s master plan explode in his face. But one thing is for sure, Amethio is definitely going to be against the Explorers now. Spinel now assured it.
I would guess that Amethio will try to go after black Rayquaza by himself in order to prove himself to his grandfather and get revenge on Spinel for framing him by showing the footages of him helping Liko out of the cave and not catchingTerapagos which got Amethio expelled from the Explorers. I don't know what's going to happen in "Pokémon Rayquaza Rising." but Amethio will to make a decision whether to continued to help his grandfather or change side to join Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers.
Spinal definitely planed all this, he knew Amethio would have to work with Liko to get out so he could frame him. I mean I kind of anticipated that Amethio would eventually part ways with the Explorers, but I never gues he would be kicked out.
Don't know how I haven't stumbled upon your channel, but I'm glad I did!! Feels nice to just gush about the episode and hear someone else's thoughts on it!! ^^ I absolutely love pokemon horizons, and watching the episodes every weekend has really made it feel like I truly get to see the characters develop and all throughout the year! Really happy to see horizons having a nice fanbase who's also enjoying it as much as I am!!
I honestly didnt think they would possibly set Amethio up as an Anti-Hero, but rather as someone on the opposing side that has some honor or pride, like Chase Young in Xiaolin Showdown. BUT seeing this episode, it totally makes sense for Amethio to be the anti hero who does his own thing of this pokemon series with what has transpired
I’m still positive like will get to keep her Tera orb in one of two ways. 1. The trailer for the next episode shows her battling onyx. Maybe she will defeat him and this will be witnessed by calvel and/or Geeta and they will let her keep her Tera orb as a thank you for saving the academy. 2. The trainers from the Terastal training course are shown battling each other and the episode after that has Liko vs Roy so my theory is that maybe trainers who failed the implantation test are told they have one more chance if they can beat someone whom did pass.
I think the first one is likely. Liko will probably play a big role in the academy and Geeta and the director will we be so impressed that they let her pass despite the failed test.
I saw a theory that when liko will fight onyx she will use the teracristal with grusha who saw it and then clavel and geeta will say that liko will be able to continue to use the teracristal
Amethio’s gonna be like Asajj Ventress from Star Wars, getting kicked out of a group and then choosing his own path and being the anti-hero who helps the RVT on multiple occasions.
My biggest episode review video of all time! Even longer than Ash VS Leon's finale review somehow! I genuinely put so much time and work into this review, this episode hit me so hard and even got me in my feels a fair bit. I love this series and I love this community so deeply 💙 I'm really sorry that I couldn't add subtitles/captions to my video this time, I just didn't have enough time 😥 but I'm going to try my best to add captions through UA-cam's system tonight when I'm home!

Hello
@@Pokeferlax Pokemon Horizons rly made Pokeferlax out of ppl post consistently for a long time lol and then post a 20m vid-
Good video
I can tell you loved this episode so much.
9:17 is not helping you beat the shipping allegations
Spinel: "Look there, Amethio! It's your honor"
Amethio: "WHERE?!"
Spinel is pure evil
And then the fire nation attacked
"Choose treachery. It's more fun!"

The fact that pokemon like is completely transparent about communication being so important is super mature. They’ve been going through this theme for forever, but the honesty, gratitude, and self awareness that talking it out was so crucial for human beings is amazing.
I think it's one thing that I love about Horizons. I'm not saying the ashime never did it, but Horizons seems to center communication and feelings a lot more often. I feel like it treats its viewers as intelligent.
The focus that Horizons is giving to communicating your feelings, in all manners, is genuinely so refreshing. It feels so mature, yet so neccessary of a lesson to teach kids. I'm really impressed with it 😁

That is also why a person like Gibeon is the perfect villain - he didn't allow his own grandson to explain his side of the story because he had already made up his mind and never even considered that he could be wrong.
I think the reason Terapogos hated Amethio was because he looked like his grandfather and calmed down when it saw it wasn't Gibeon.
Or Gibeon betrayed Lucius and Terapagos is here after his slumber become the pendant.
They already introduced a different dimension so they're gonna introduce a parallel universe where none of this happened or all of this happened
He also got agitated again when Gibeon was mentioned by name.
I never underestimated Horizons. The writers are taking their time with the characters and thats absolutely amazing to witness! Tbh, I dont even miss Ash anymore. Oh and I love the star wars references lately😂 Amethio IS the definition of a gray jedi, or at least he has the potential to be
I’ll always miss Ash, but I agree!
I feel like Spinel knew Amethio and Liko would escape, as the Explorer's plan was to delay help, not stop. If anything, Spinel gives off the energy that he even made the crack in the ground specifically so his Beheyeem would catch Amethio helping Liko. He gives off the energy that he plans that far ahead, and that makes him both insanely dangerous as a villain and exciting to watch.
Legit, i cant wait to see what happens next episode, and like you, this episode got me so hype!! By far one of the coolest episodes to date
Amethio is going to go through his redemption arc soon and I can’t wait for it
Just like with Alain
Are you sure that he's going to redeemed himself? And so as Onia and Zirc?
I agree 👍
@eljordinio7647 Oh yeah. Imagine Amethio meeting Alain & Alain tells Amethio about his past. Can't deny that would be interesting. It won't happen, I know. But imagine that happened.
I like how hamber, onyx and sango asked amethio why he did that instead of blaming him quickly
Yes someone picked up on it
Sango was the first to say something too
This is why we love her
@@supersayandarmanitanI honestly never expected that sango would ask Amethio for explanations.
@@MasterofChaldea015 Right? Onyx and Hamber I was definitely expecting but Sango being the first one caught me off guard
I think it shows onyx and sango were not part of the plan to remove Amethio from the team. Just Spinel and Chalce
I LOVED this! The fact that Hamber/Sidian/Coral didn't IMMEDIATELY believe in Amethio betraying everyone, and they questioned it, and even at the end they looked slightly conflicted about it... it's genuinely so awesome. It shows just how much thought the writers are putting into making sure each of these characters are their own distinct people, and not getting lost in the crowd. They feel so real. I can't wait to see if this leads to anything down the line! 🔥
I love the bond between ceruledge and amethio. They’ve always been close and ceruledge has always cared for amethio
This was such a perfect example of that! It really does show that Amethio has a good side too. And that's definitely gonna be explored further in the future 😁
Yeah i love that show's the difference between how explorers sees Pokémon and how Amethio see it
Ceruledge is similar Flapjack because similar to Hunter and Amethio.
Same
Just seeing Ceruledge wanting to help him out, showing that it's ok to receive it. Poor Amethio probably hasn't had much genuine help without some kind of catch to it😢
What if Amethio comes up to the Rising Volt Tacklers and say
Hey, Amethio here
This is a reference some of you will get
Amethio will join kalos group in pokemon xy journey anime soon

I bet Gibson would end up being that kind of grandparent who’d wonder why his grandkid never talks to him.
Maybe if he wouldn't have allowed his issues with his son fester on him, maybe Amethio could stay loyal forever.
Also I wonder what Gibeon really did that made Terapagos so angry when just looking at his grandchild? Maybe something even worse than what we imagine!

pokemon horizons truly is an apology after the journeys disaster
Is a nice apology because is a nice story too much Liko losing battles but better to Ash Plot Armor cannon.
i'm still sad that Journeys anime is the the way Ash's leave, it could be better.
But well following Horizons from the beginning is really amazing experience
@@brilleon Journeys really wasn't that bad, Aim to be a Master was the problem, especially the last few episodes. (Mishandling of Team Rocket after their final blast-off, the "final boss" being a random hunter rather than Giovanni, and Gary being done horribly dirty, without even a battle.)
@@kevinlee7678 i count Mesaze Pokemon Master also as a part of the "Journeys" anime. Even in English version, the title is Master Journeys. There's an episode i don't understand why is it there, an episode about Shuppet(?) and Kid Nurse Joy. Why is it not in the main Journeys? Why is it in Ash's last season? 😂
The whole Journeys isn't a bad series, I watched the every episodes every week, just... for me if i could make a story for Ash's last appearance, it would be focusing just to Ash.
Many Journeys' episodes are focused on Goh, I was fine with it since that time i didn't know that was Ash's last "journeys", his last anime. Even sometimes Ash looks more newbie than Goh.
For me recommending Journeys is harder in my heart than convincing someone to watch SM because they never watch it in the first place just because of the artstyle changed
Pokemon Journey was a disaster, but it still had its moments (Ash getting a Lucario, the Celebi episode, Lillie's arc being concluded and of course Ash VS Leon).
But yeah, Pokemon Horizons puts pretty much every past series on shame (maybe except DP and SM which I consider the only other good ones overall).
Pokémon Horizons is on a generational run. So happy we got this instead of another Ash season
Spinel straight up played Amethio like a puppet on a string, like he was a playing a game of Among Us.
Feel so sorry Amethio 😭💜
Me too! But this is definitely what’s best for him in the long run! 💜
I feel like Liko will blame herself the second she learns that Amethio got booted & someone like Carmine will ask Liko if getting all the hero mons & going to Rakua is actually her dream or if she’s just doing it out of obligation?
Hey look it’s you
HZ constantly dropping peak every week. The best part of the episode easily was conversation between Liko and Amethio.
And it's neat, how their journeys had the same beginning and same goal yet with different ways towards that goal.
Spinel is just as a*hole as he always is. Kinda funny how Chalse and Spinel were ready to set Amethio up yet Coral and Sidian hesitated.
Finale of this arc seems promising as well with Explorers attacking the school. My theory is that Liko will eventually put serious work at helping to defeat Explorers and as gratitude Grusha will pass Liko.
It may be that Grusha will report a change in result seeing her maturity, maybe she's going to participate in that tourney which supercedes?
If that does happen then Sango will definitely defeat herself by using Self Destruct with a Poliwhirl in the room
The way the start of amethio redemption arc is going on while I’m showing atla to my younger brother and both our faves are Zuko
Much like zuko amethio save liko by himself
Ceruledge warming up Amethio reminds me a lot of when Charizard was still a Charmander warming up Ash and both cases involved being stuck in a cave

From a Star Wars fan to another: loved that you brought the concept of Grey Jedis to the analogy!!
Darth vader will be the main villain in pokemon xy journey anime
Haha it felt right! 😁 I've been a huge Star Wars fan my entire life!!
A lot of people are making Zuko comparisons, and while I love the idea of Amethio taking a similar path, it does have me a bit worried.
Zuko chased Aang to the point of obsession, cut off people who cared about him like Iroh in the process, and made even greater enemies with Team Avatar when he spat in the face of their attempts to relate to him
Makes me wonder if Amethio will act similarly, trying so hard to win back the trust of his grandfather that he ends up hurting his Pokemon and/or Zirc and Conia in doing so, maybe going too far against the RVT that gets one of them hurt, and if he tries to be an ally to them later (potentially after learning the Explorers’ goals may not be as altruistic as he thinks) they may not believe him or trust him, even Liko.
Whatever path Amethio walks now, I get the feeling it won’t be pretty for him
Bro… I can’t even… perfection is an understatement
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!! 🔥
@@Pokeferlax This episode, is written better than the Murder Drones finale, and that's a lot more than you think
Amethio is basically zuko at home.
Thankfully zuko at home is still really good. I love it. The last two episodes have been fantastic as I feel like we're getting out of the training arc and back in to what Horizons really wants to be, stepping a bit away from the traditional pokemon anime again and moving back in its own direction.
I'm excited to see Friede rejoin the group, and I think the main characters are going to be a lot more competent from here on out. This episode is making it pretty clear that Liko isn't going to complete her terrastal training course.. but instead going to get something even better. She's going to need to work for it, explore a second path, as the episode so eloquently puts it, but it's going to be awesome. I'm betting on some sort of terastalization involving Terapagos, where she'll be able to do it without a tera orb, maybe even unlocking a once per battle tera stellar for all of her pokemon. Competitively, tera stellar may not be the best tera type, but in the anime... I think that would be very cool.
@@redwings13400 agreed 👍
If I had to guess Amethio’s arc, he’ll stray on his own for a while until the Rising Volt Tacklers offer him to join. However, after traveling with them for a while, he’ll take Terapagos & the Six Heroes once Liko has acquired them since he’s given the opportunity to gain Gibeon’s forgiveness. Then, everything will come to a clash in Lakua when Amethio is forced to make a choice in the final confrontation but ultimately decides to join Liko & the Rising Volt Tacklers again
_I love the arc endings,_ *_they always shock us_*
There was more character communication in that scene than some shows have in a whole season. I LOVED this whole episode. I also thought it was interesting that half of the explorers were having doubts about what spinel presented and wanted to let amethio explain himself - I wonder if there’s a future conflict there. grusha on the snowboard was so great too.
Random theory/prediction. Ametheo's dad gave him a Charcadet, and his dad himself has a Armarourge, and Ametheo got the "ghost armor" from his Grandfather to evolve Charcadet.
I'll call it now. Amethio with the help of sango, onyx, and hamber will help Liko in returning terapagos to Rakua along with the six heroes Lucius brought with him. And a plot twist about Lucius will be revealed in Rakua for sure
Amethio is becoming the new Zuko! 🔥
I already knew they’ll do this with him. I believe he’ll eventually joined Liko’s side but I just hope it’s not at the near end
Zirc and Onia will also potentially join Liko’s side
I came to the comment to basically write this with extra steps. I'm starting to wonder if Amethio is the grandson of both Lucian and Gibeon and if they are literally pulling that storyline: Two now former friends grew into an argument, 2 generations later their paths have joined yet again.
Zuko's Grandfathers were the Fire Lord that actually started the war (Ozai just kept it going), and Roku the Avatar Previous to Aang.
So Amethio being the Grandson of Gibeon, the person that wants to use Lachua for his own selfish goals AND the protector of Lachua... Just would further solidify both your analogy and the dichotomy of Amethio's character.
Who’s Zuko?
@@plushmakerfan8444 Zuko from "Avatar the Last Airbender" if you haven't seen the series it's worth a watch.
Kind of sad that even Coral and Sidian were doubtful of Spinel's "evidence" enough to give Amethio a chance to explain himself, but his own Grandad didn't even give him the chance and just booted him. Hamber also looked surprised when Gibeon just cast judgement instantly. Poor Amethio, Spinel is a real jerk but i do gotta give props for intelligence.
Hopefully his conversation with Liko will eventually lead him to joining or at least helping the Tacklers. I doubt he will just switch sides immediately though, helping Gibeon is Amethio's goal and clearly something he's been working towards for a while, likely since he was young. So its unlikely he'll go against Gibeon right away, he'll blame Spinel for getting him kicked out but will likely seek ways to redeem himself to Gibeon at first. Though perhaps through journeying on his own he may start to question Gibeon's goals, we'll have to see.
Still this will definitely be the start of a big change for Amethio, thats for sure.
Amethio the entire time was a wolf among snakes but I do like how Obsidian and Hamber was going to stand up for him and even Sango wanted to hear Amethio out as if the set up was too dirty even for her. I feel like Spinel knew of Gibeon's feelings towards his father for straying from the Explorers which makes you wonder what happened and he basically exploited those negative feelings and threw Amethio under the bus. Sort of like how in Shield Hero, Myne exploited her father Altcray's hatred towards the previous Shield Hero and demis to get her way until she was exposed for it. It looks like he even got Agate to be fully in on it while Sango and Obsidian are just playing along at the time.
Amethio at least makes it clear that he doesn't like the methods his fellow Explorers employs and that he makes it clear that he will get Rayquaza and Terrapagos the old fashion way going as far as to warn Liko of Spinel's treachery knowing she and the other Volt Tacklers will be dealing with him more in the future especially now that he has an understanding on how to utilize a pokemon intoxication drug to possibly exploit Terrapagos.
I actually saw this coming back in the first few episodes, amethio helping the volt tacklers achieve their goals. Amethio gives off anti-hero vibes, not of a villain
This is was literally the best ever episode OMG it had everything i needed to see, hear and much more the whole Amethio and Liko talk writer did everything i wanted to be talked about and i loved it and Amethio deep inside has really sincere and gentle side especially towards Liko especially when they were escaping the cave and he offered her a hand🥰🥰🥰.
Roy and Dot yeah losing was little dirty but i guess writer wanted to show even if they bonded and got stronger doesn't mean they are perfect.
Now the end listen i love and respect Spinel so much as a Villain but this end scene made me really wanna punch him in the face so much he literally traped Amethio in the cave to make him "dissappear" but also had a backup plan if that would not work he can show to everyone how Amethio is helping the enemy, because Spinel knew Amethio has that little sincerity and kindness towards Liko and he used that sincerity and kindness to his advantage what a SLIMY SCUMBAG uhh i gotta give it to Spinel he really is smart and always 2 steps ahead of getting what he wants and the fact that Gibeon trusted his workers instead of his OWN GRANDSON and kicked him out that was just hard to watch i felt so bad for Amethio, plz Amethio get your revenge on Spinel right now you deserve so better 10/10 episode.
Unlike zuko amethio is save liko by himself daring the end of arc
I was expecting a shipping plot twist but I was wrong lol 😂
Amethio is starting to feel like Zuko. Disowned by powerful father/ grandfather, possibly joining the opposition.
Pokeferlax the kinda guy to casually drop 20 minutes of peak but forget to add subtitles to make it comprehensible
LOOOOOOL 😭 I promise subtitles will return in my next video
Jay fell off not even top comment anymore
It is comprehensive 😂
If I recall correctly it wasnt said that Grushia couldnt snowboard again, but more that his injury, while it healed, wouldnt let him play *competitively* as well as he used too so he switched to Pokemon battling. So - he can still snowboard, he simply cant push it as hard as he eused to be able too
So... is anyone else getting big brother vibes between Liko and Amethio or is it just me?
There is still a chance he's her cousin from her dad's side.
YES THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!!!
It could be a similar relationship to what Marin and Alain had. They aren’t related but Alain cared so much for Marin and did whatever he could to help her and Chespie and she adores him!!
Yeah they are give off big brother and younger sister energy
@@730Flaremore like moms side cuz Lucius is definitely related to likos grandma and I think that Lucius is definitely related to the explorers maybe his siblings is the leader of it and then started hating him and then betrayed him or smt like that
Slightly off topic, by this scene that was mentioned about their talk between Lico and Amithio remind me of Power Rangers Time Force when Wesley Collins had his talk with Eric Meyer. They both came to the realization that they had changed their destinies and that they were the same despite having grown up differently from each other
why is it that being trapped in an icy cave gives us the greatest of scenes between characters and pokemon?
Now that you mention it 😁
Glad this episode had Liko and Amethio starting a dynamic that might develop further in their later encounters. Part of me feels like Amethio might shift from being Friede's rival to Liko's as both of them are foils to one another. Even their main Pokemon's Types (or future Type in Floragato's case) counter each other: fire beats Grass, Dark beats Ghost.
I do worry that Amethio might grow even more obsessed with proving himself to Gibeon by being even more determined to take Terapagos from Liko.
20 min. Pokefarlax review, woohoo 🙌🎉! I don't have enough words to describe this episode; besides the nitpick about Roy and Dot's battle, which I agree with, this is definitely close to a big 10/10! I definitely wasn't expecting the ending. The only thing that would have made it better is if Amethio had told the story of his father, like why did he side with his grandfather instead? Maybe that could be addressed in the future.🤔
But most importantly, I wonder what will Amethio do now - will he follow his own path no matter what others think of him, or will he cave in and seek his grandfather's forgiveness? It will take a while for him to regain his composure so I bet we'll see a major character development arc for him soon. Whatever happens I hope Onia and Zirc stick with Amethio and give him support.💎💎💎
I suspect Spinel will cause major infighting within the Explorers, wasn't it implied that he would betray Gibeon if given the chance too? Who knows, maybe Coral and Sidian will also switch sides in the far, far future.😮
This is probably the best story line i ever seen on the anime big W to the writers, seeing amethios redemption arc in the series and being the anti hero of the series and spinel being the most perfect evil villain of the series this anime really grew on me a lot. Cant wait to continue on with this series, a hands down great anime.
It's great seeing amithio isn't as bad as everybody thought. He kinda reminds me of paul.
Paul if he actually cared for his pokemon without Ash beating him with the power of friendship making him learn to care for his pokemon
But slightly different
@@Sakurasan2023 yeah
@supermariogamer1757 as in Amethio isn't abusive towards his Pokemon
@@Sakurasan2023 I know
That episode of amethio saving Liko and life Sprigatitoa and evolve into floragato came out almost 6 months ago man this year going by quick
And the English dub of that episode is not even out yet
The English dub is so far behind 😭
Hopefully that episode will be one of the episodes that is coming out in English dub in November
Coral and Sidian? They're still Sandwhich and Onigiri in my mind.
I liked how there are members who are willing to hear Amethio out, and was surprised Sango asked first.
I actually really like the villians in this series
The way the things were heading, I could tell that Amethio would eventually either betray his comrades or be set up by Spinel and fired from the organization altogether. I gotta say though, it happened a lot sooner than I expected. The latter outcome ended up happening and I figured that one was more likely to happen than the other. Something, well, 2 things that have gotten me curious is the identity of Amethio's father, even if it ultimately ends up not mattering in the end, he's so far sounding like a fairly significant character, I can't shake the feeling that it could potentially be someone we've already met in the series, but yeah that's likely not the case. The other thing is what made him leave the explorers, but not be there to save his son from...well, shall we say, ''indoctrination''. So far we know he ''strayed from the path'' as Gibeon put it, but the question is how things ended for Amethio's father, was he set up to fail like his son was in this episode, or did he actually strike out?
There are so many ways the Amethio “redemption/anti-hero” arc could go down. Would he be reluctant to join another group so soon after getting booted from the Explorers? Is he truly alone or will his two “followers” try to help him? Will Ceruledge be the one to pull him out of his slump?
The writers did kinda fumble on the Dot and Roy vs Onyx and Sango fight. They could’ve had the two Explorers literally box the two in-Stone Edge for the barrier, ice to keep from immediately smashing through it. Rather than the two kids mostly being on the back foot.
Another amazing episode.
Like most people in comments are saying: there is a chance that Amethio may try to join the RVTs as obviously they have the same goal, he also realizes that while staying with them he can re-encounter Spinel and stopping him becomes his new goal.
I doubt him zirc and onia are going to join the RVT there is no room on the ship for them it is why Diana had to sleep on the couch 8 rooms is all it has. Also it would be way better amethio and his crew go to his dad and other family for a few episodes and his dad and other family are knights and they train as a new knight order that save people and Pokémon like the gmen, aura guardians, rangers etc and we see them doing knight missions from time to time with COTD or people not from the main cast like Diana or Anne etc. They will be allies to the RVT but have more to do besides just following the RVT.
@@shadowwizard2383 That's a great idea too.
@@RedRaikou Yeah and it makes sense amethio whole theme is knight his shoe, creuledge is a knight corviKNIGHT and I definitely think amethio dad has armarouge and gave amethio charcadet.
@@shadowwizard2383 Yeah that makes sense, maybe next time we see him it will be a flashback episode showing his story.
I'm 65 episodes behind, but I think the anime has done pretty well. Good job for reviewing! You've made my day!
I'm definitely thinking he's Pokémon's Zuko, but he's not gonna join up with the RVT anytime soon. This is Spinel pulling the wool over his grandfather's eyes, Amethio needs something more to shake his faith in Gibeon specifically. I think ousting Amethio will instead make him double down to try and get back in his grandfather's good graces. Kind of like the reclaiming one's honor portion of Zuko's storyline.
He'll have some big screw up later that shatters Liko's trust in him/the notion of teaming up, but then he'll find out something awful about Gibeon that causes him to bail, like maybe what Gibeon did to Lucius that made Terapagos hate him so much, and that's when he'll go to team up and try to make things right.
Unlike zuko amethio save liko by himself
I have a feeling gibeon offed ametheo's parents
@@nishalsairamgaming7892 my personal thoughts are it's something of an Ursa situation. There's some guarantee that Ame wouldn't be harmed if they left, but if they took Ame, they would be all be killed. Gibeon's used their absence to indoctrinate the kid.
I do think he killed Lucius tho. Probably some indirect way like Sozin letting Roku die.
@@leviristich5211 Zuko did bust Aang out of imprisonment once tho. (That Blue Spirit episode. The first time Aang says they could be friends.)
Calling it: Arc 4 will end with Amethio backstabbing Liko and co after theyve learned to trust him, leading to him taking Terapagos and getting back to his granpa's good graces.
This is DEFINITELY one of the BEST episodes so far. Loved the fact that Amethio was the one to wake Liko up from her slump. Definitely makes sense that the Academy course is not the only way to get Terastallization. Anyways, what's stopping her from using the orb if she doesn't report to the Academy again😈
150/10 episode.
I really _really_ hope we get a Zuko vs Zhao parallel when all the conflicts reach their peak where Spinel would be falling to an open-interpretation death or something and Amethio reaches out to him but he's like 'I'd rather die than take your hand' cuz that is the kinda guy Spinel feels like. Amethio is now Season 2 Zuko, neither with the villain nor with the heroes. Just finding his footing. I can also see the 'Friede and Amethio being like dad-son' hopes of the fandom come true, Friede already treats him like a kid.
I am pretty sure Gibeon (I was calling him Gideon this whole time🙈) is one of the original Explorers travelling with Lucius (Liko's grandmother said Explorers used to be Lucius' friends). Amethio must look really like a young Gibeon who travelled with Lucius, which is why Terapagos is reacting weirdly to him.
I have two theories regarding Lucius and the Explorers:
1. Lucius is in Rakua alone, which is why the Explorers are working against him since they feel betrayed and why his team is all scattered over the world and regards the Explorers with bitterness as they think they were the ones who took Lucius away. [Probablity- 12.5%]
2. Explorers betrayed Lucius just before they reached Rakua, thus his team was scattered after his demise and the Explorers now want to capture Rekkuza and Terapagos to reach Rakua. Terapagos is blaming Gibeon/Amethio for Lucius' expiration. [Probability- 60%]
Sango/Coral is such a menace I love her!!! 😭
Roy and Dot weren't trying to battle at the beginning, they were trying to escape, and that getting shut down threw off their rhythm for the rest of the battle.
I can already hear Amethio screaming in the next few episode "TO REGAIN MY HONOR"
And I can already see the poster for the biased stage play adaptation of it!
“We need to find the Avatar” ahh character 💀
Amethio remember Zuko from Avatar and Hunter from The Owl House present a bad character from the star and evolved from a nice character with parents trauma.
I can't wait to see "Zuko Alone" but it's Amethio.
Honestly I can see the main villains being Spinel & Agate following Gibeon to Rakua, and the other members of the explorers having revolted. Amethio will 100% not be joining the Explorers again after this. Coral, Sideon, and Hamber (Amethio’s mentor?) were hesitant on weather or not Amethio fully betrayed them, and since they seem to be about as young as Amethio I think there’s a chance they can persuaded to join the Rising Volt Tacklers side ina final battle.
But fr tho, Spinel having set this up so that Amethio and Liko need to work together is like EVIL GENIUS levels. But I don’t think he realizes he just make their bond stronger. He probably doesn’t care though, since his only goal is to get Gibeon’s heir out of the picture.
Terapagos: Aang
Liko: Katara
Roy: Sokka
Dot: Toph
Amethio: Zuko
Spinel: Zhao
Gibeon: Ozai
At this point I’m starting to get suspicious. And that’s coming from someone who hasn’t been following the series for a quite a while.
This episode is a PERFECT 31 out of ten! *Hinting a reference to IVs heh*
The thing with Roy and dot here- they did not want to battle. They were in a rush to find liko, so the last thing they were thinking about was putting up an actual good fight. They were actively trying to distract Sango and Onyx so they could flee.
I am just waiting for gibion to get in some action with his shiny zygard man that will be epicccccccccc
14:00 That image is definitely going to be memed I can just see it
11:00-11:06 As a Star Wars fan myself, I love that you included this in your Pokémon Horizons episode review.
I just watched this episode right now, and I really enjoyed it mostly because of the scenes featuring Liko and Amethio together. I like that they finally understand each other as two individuals who want to reach Laqua rather than just hero and villain respectively. Also, Amethio being fired from the Explorers surprised me, but it really makes excited that now he will go through an arc similar to Zuko from _Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005 TV series)_ . Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
I fear the onslaught of liko x amethio ship fanart to come…
Yep, there it is. I was wondering when someone would bring this up. 😂
It's been over a year and it's gotten worse since this episode came out. I hate this part of the fandom and make it look like it's going to be a ship while it is an interaction between a protagonist and an antihero. Liko is probably still a child and Amethio is confirmed to be between 13 and 19 years old. Scary asf 😭
Yeah like Liko she is 10 while Amethio he's a teenager around his 16-17 so like that's a huge age gap between them. Also I don't ship name like I see them have the siblings energy

Thanks you for your video and channel

I can't wait to see where Amethio and Liko relationship goes in the future hopefully they can be friends
At least three members believed that Ametheo isn’t lying and was framed
I was expecting hamber and even Onyx a little but never sango, I was very surprised
But will they come to his aid?
Hamburg is an interesting character, we know he cares about Amethio but outside of that dude is quite mysterious we know little about him… 🤔
@@thatgirl9532 I think the only other thing is that he's an old friend of Diana's.
Leave it to Spinel to get Amethio kicked out of the explorers, and by his own grandfather no less
Spinel and Amethio always seemed to have it out for each other. Though now Amethio's redemption arc begins
Amethio get fired
I'm thinking more Ame trying to reclaim his honor. The Avatar parallels this episode really made me think about Zuko's character arc, and how Zuko doubled down when we all thought he was going to redeem himself in Ba Sing Se. Amethio needs something to shake his faith in his grandfather, this is Spinel manipulating things to make him look bad in his grandfather's eyes. I'm thinking that he will have a similar severe screw up like Zuko did, learn something terrible about Gibeon, and that's when he'll join up with the gang.
Ironic since Spinel might betray Gibeon himself
@@supersayandarmanitan that's what I'm thinking too. Spinel is definitely the type to betray just to benefit himself.
@@13CrystalHeart Agreed
Poor ametheo
Spinel is such a slime ball i hope ametheo joins the rising volt tacklers . Or maybe this is a trick to get liko to let her gard down so he can steel terapagos later
Why is everyone comparing him to Zuko? Zuko has a scar on his face.
Just an assumption of mine, I believe something connects liko's grandmother and amethio's grandfather even though it's unknown if liko's grandmother really wants to go to rakua or not but she gave that pendant to liko how and where she got that pendant so yeah
Hey Pokeferlax great job on another great review of Pokémon horizons episodes so much to take in with this one thanks for sharing your views and as always keep up with your work really appreciate and love watching your amazing videos 👍❤️🦊❄️
Im not gonna lie I’m liking this series way more than Ash’s adventures! It feels slightly more mature and the plot is SO good so far with some interesting and diverse characters in motives and personality. Last few episodes have completely thrown me out a window, I am shook
Don’t get me wrong man I never expected Pokémon horizons to take such a massive leap in logic when it came down to it
I mean, it kinda tugged on the heartstrings a little bit when Ash retired😔 but honestly, it had a massive impact on me, but I was willing to give horizons the benefit of the doubt, and of course at some point I was considering not watching the series, but I guess hearing your reaction on how the episode played out I can tell you were getting massive goosebumps from one episode to the next
And the fact that the explorer pretty much banished him because they thought of him as a traitor, I guess you’re right on that one they clearly had no idea that they had just did exiling him from the explorers what’s pretty much the worst mistake that they ever had done and even getting disowned by his own grandfather pretty much was the final straw that broke the camels back apparently
The bad guys were trying to live his grandson and that bailed their next option was to in fact get him kicked out since the first plan failed
I’ll always watch a content
Keep it up 🤘🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
I wanted to wait to watch the series dubbed so I stopped watching your videos for a few months but man I had to come back lol. Keep up the good work! I’ll keep watching!
ye i was suprised aswell the other explores wanted to hear amithio's side of the story
The antagonists in this Pokemon season is gamer changer. Gibeon and Spinel they will definitely contradict each other at some point and Amethio is going to suffer from here but his plot story is going to be most amazing in the series.
Now they should draft nicely our three protagonists and it will be peak😊
And according to leaks Liko Roy and Dot are gonna be only better from here. 🎉
Great Video,
Great Episode,
The only thing we're missing is The Subtitles.
This is perfection, keep up the great work! 🎉
Spinel is so untrustworthy, maybe he would betray Gibeon and became the main antagonist of the series one day
Maybe terapagos will reach the full potential soon
and I thought treat pokemon as tools rather than friends is bad
@@fraserodonnell7618his umbreon describes his motives alone. The fact that it looked so monstrous and terrifying, even though it evolves via high friendship at night, makes me think that could happen
@@SLonn978 what will happen?
Spinel’s ambitions are just getting bigger and bigger as time goes on! It wouldn’t shock me at all if he even tries to overthrow Gibeon in the end! In fact, I think that’d be such a cool storyline! 🔥
AUAUAGAGAHAGUATWGWGSFSUSJSWIEHE
I Absolutly 𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿 Amethio to join the volt tacklers after this... I seriously hope he doesn't take his anger out on Liko for getting him basically kicked out of the explorers....I hope he understands after getting kicked out he doesn't need to live up to Gibeon...
If he’s going to blame anyone it’s going to be Spinel.
Nah since he did reveal their plans to Liko which indeed cased hin to be kicked out so its his fault alone not Liko's
@@courage1363 he didn’t reveal their plans just their end goals, and gave her a warning about Spinal.
@@courage1363 I know But im worried he'll be to blinded by anger and rage next time he sees Liko and wont give 2 ♔︎𓃗𓃱♕︎♔︎ and will just battle her straight away.
Amethio, zirc and onia will not be joining the RVT on their airship there is no room its why Diana had to sleep on the couch and he even said he will take his own path. So those 3 are most likely going to find amethio dad and other family who I think are knights since its amethio whole theme and they get their own airship and make a knight crew and go on knight missions from time to time like gmen, aura guardians, rangers etc.
POKÉMON HORIZONS IS 🌟PEAK🌟
PEAKÉMON HORIZONS! 🤩
@@Pokeferlax FR ✨
I'm really, REALLY worry about Kieran not being in the new poster. I am _praying_ for his story to get well done in the anime.
Maybe his story already happened? Carmine is likely working as Briar’s assistant at this point, it seems.
@@stevenchoza6391Or maybe he will appear later in the story or in another arc
@@sxmmy_drxw_ Maybe? Again, though, that still means that, if we do seem him, his story in the games might have already occurred and the Kieran we see is one post-DLC/Mochi Mayhem.
Kieran story is going to be changed and simple like penny no team star and working in the league, Kieran will be he is BB champion and enjoying his school life and doesn’t care about ogerpon like in the games.
I feel this could lead to other membes of the Exploers separating from the Explorers as like you said Hamber, Coral and Sidain doubted the evidence of Amethio's betrayel so they may be seeing the corruption in the group plus Hamber is sort of like the Iroh to Amethio's Zuko. Also Onia and Zirc might just leave since they respected Amethio
God bless you, Pokeferlax. You got a new subscriber
Liko and Ametheio looks like the same from The Owl House Characters Luz and Hunter
Yeah i actually think so too !!
Spinel gives me the vibe of an usurper. I feel like he plans to take all the power for himself and either it works, or Anethio’s grandfather will already be aware and have Spinel’s master plan explode in his face.
But one thing is for sure, Amethio is definitely going to be against the Explorers now. Spinel now assured it.
I would guess that Amethio will try to go after black Rayquaza by himself in order to prove himself to his grandfather and get revenge on Spinel for framing him by showing the footages of him helping Liko out of the cave and not catchingTerapagos which got Amethio expelled from the Explorers. I don't know what's going to happen in "Pokémon Rayquaza Rising." but Amethio will to make a decision whether to continued to help his grandfather or change side to join Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers.
Spinal definitely planed all this, he knew Amethio would have to work with Liko to get out so he could frame him. I mean I kind of anticipated that Amethio would eventually part ways with the Explorers, but I never gues he would be kicked out.
Amithio got hammered damn. Poor amithio damn
@@leviristich5211 yep, it's also nice that he does have a little bit of a soft side to him
Don't know how I haven't stumbled upon your channel, but I'm glad I did!! Feels nice to just gush about the episode and hear someone else's thoughts on it!! ^^
I absolutely love pokemon horizons, and watching the episodes every weekend has really made it feel like I truly get to see the characters develop and all throughout the year! Really happy to see horizons having a nice fanbase who's also enjoying it as much as I am!!
I honestly didnt think they would possibly set Amethio up as an Anti-Hero, but rather as someone on the opposing side that has some honor or pride, like Chase Young in Xiaolin Showdown. BUT seeing this episode, it totally makes sense for Amethio to be the anti hero who does his own thing of this pokemon series with what has transpired
It’s so like pokemon’s version of Zuko and I’m so here for it
Great video as always!
I Love Your Review videos I Watch this before i Watch the episodes Amethio gets his redemption story let's go
I’m still positive like will get to keep her Tera orb in one of two ways.
1. The trailer for the next episode shows her battling onyx. Maybe she will defeat him and this will be witnessed by calvel and/or Geeta and they will let her keep her Tera orb as a thank you for saving the academy.
2. The trainers from the Terastal training course are shown battling each other and the episode after that has Liko vs Roy so my theory is that maybe trainers who failed the implantation test are told they have one more chance if they can beat someone whom did pass.
I think the first one is likely. Liko will probably play a big role in the academy and Geeta and the director will we be so impressed that they let her pass despite the failed test.
I saw a theory that when liko will fight onyx she will use the teracristal with grusha who saw it and then clavel and geeta will say that liko will be able to continue to use the teracristal
Classic Smogon player stall at 1:18.
Amethio is definitely Zuko.
Man i cannot wait what episode 66 is!!
Amethio’s gonna be like Asajj Ventress from Star Wars, getting kicked out of a group and then choosing his own path and being the anti-hero who helps the RVT on multiple occasions.
