      Dear me... the anime was that far off center with the game element plot pieces.
      They really tempered that crazy. At least early on.
      The sanity of any adult sending kids to regulate alien life appearing in your neck of the woods should be questioned... more so when you fathom how much was spent on Ash and them.
      But hyper Yondere was not what I expected.
      The lack of gyms ruined my motivation to complete sun and moon the game. Glad to hear the story part was at least interesting.
      Id
      Ego
      Super Ego
      Perspective... because I always add that separate from the mind and soul.
      I took what I learned of those 3 in HS psychology and related it to my own beliefs.
      I see people as these 4 elements (yes I mean the word Element and not some other... I mean it as Periodic chart of elements type of element)
      Body= Id; both chemically and not chemically. Those impulses regardless of "cause" exist because of how those instincts manifest in the body.
      Mind= Ego, As in your thoughts that are conscious. constantly there and trying to negotiate with the others it is logic and reason; it is not emotions at all. The mechanical more Lizard like calculating and cold part of the self.
      Spirit= Super Ego; Its your subconciousness and emotions. Unlike Id it does not tempt or try to persuade. Its blunt and to the point and so it challenges both the others that try to maintain #1 in your deciding factor.
      Perspective= It is only an observer; and it is the real self at the core of cores. Because without it there is no extroverse activity and everything would be locked into introverse. Its the glue and foundation that the rest are given form by. By the same token it also has the least concrete form to be understood by. To put it another way it is not the light of reason or the shadow of desire; but rather the cones and rods on a persons eyes that allows the understanding of light and shadow.

      The anime's Lusamine is the opposite. When she fused with Nihilego, it was a sacrifice for her children, something the game's version of Lusamine would never do. However, she doesn't feel like a completely separate character because her obsession with the Ultra Beasts is still there. It just isn't her core priority like it is in the games. Basically, the anime took Lusamine's core personality and flipped it on its head.

  • @downbeatdialga1341

    I like the detail during the Mother Beast fight that all of Lusamine’s Pokémon have recovery moves. Clefable’s got Moonlight, I think Milotic had Aqua Ring or Recover, and the others had similar moves. It’s meant to evoke this idea of perpetuation; that she doesn’t want the high from Nihilego’s toxins and her studies of the Ultra Beasts to end. If it ends, then she feels like she’ll lose the last connection she has to her late husband, Mohn.

      @Marav Reviews I've never understood that. The only thing they have in common is that they're bad parents to our friends and rivals, and even then I'd rather compare Ghetsis to Giovanni than to either of the others. And even _then_ it doesn't really fit, as Giovanni simply doesn't care for his son at all instead of actively using him for his own gain. Ghetsis is probably the closest we have in the series to a purely, one-dimensionally evil villain, which like you said, Lusamine is very much not. (Or, to say it with JPR's words: The difference is that Giovanni has an honor code, while Ghetsis is just insane.)

    I quite enjoyed the post-game Team Rainbow Rocket plotline in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, but I wonder if there was one thing that may have been missing. I mean, imagine a surprise twist where Lusamine from the Sun & Moon timeline (or rather from an alt timeline of the original Sun & Moon where she had won) was now secretly working closely alongside Rainbow Rocket's Giovanni and was the actual final boss following Giovanni's battle and her other, (perhaps less malevolent & less crazy) self from the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon timeline meet and is disgusted by her evil other-self from that timeline...?

    This is really well written Pokemon antagonist. It starts with personal tragedy, and then it leads further into the darkness (I don't think that even Pokemon Special manga was so bold with her).
    In case of her final form the game devs did take some inspiration from the Pokemon Reburst manga (it's not very popular take on pokemon, but personally I like it).
    PS. The fandom really did make a lot of crazy fanart of Lumine and Nihilego.

    Lusamine is very different in USUM, and SM and in the anime.
    In the anime she is a caring mother that eventually falls to Nihiliego but the Type Null situation was done only by one of her subordinates.
    In USUM, I believe she is a still caring mother, but since Necrozma might destroy Alola, for fear off losing more people beloved to her, she takes the villain's route, she not exactly evil but she takes the whole burden for herself. Guzma is not hired but actually respects her.
    I have not played SM, I only have seen parts of the story, but having such a great detail in analyzing the character is very cool. Lusamine is so different in both games. This is a person that lost her marbles because of a toxin, and people could not stop her until MC arrives.
    I personally like USUM more. Although SM Lusamine can be a great villain and a great analyzation of ID, Super Ego and Ego, Lusamine is not the only character that takes most of the development or has to run the whole plot o revolve around it.
    Guzma and team skull are not just some gang, they are a group of rejects whom Guzma give a place to belong. Lilie becomes more courageous and you can see to the point of challenging you as one of the possible trainers when you defend your title as a Champion. Lusamine does not have to be evil or have lost her mind, she can still have her mental faculty, and her goals have a lot of bias of her taking over everything because of the loss of her husband. Also, Necrozma lore and story are very interesting.
    A being that provided light but was so abused because of its power it became too hurt that it lost its original form. Because of such action, it wants to steal all the light and attack anyone to prevent it to lose its form again. When I fight it, it felt more like a beast that could not trust humanity again. So it not only t felt like I was attacking a monster with all my might, but this monster was doing the same.
    A lot of characters get developed in USUM, even many members of Team Skull. And I really like that. And once again, I like that Necrozma was not some big bad, it was fighting us at its best because of trauma, rage, and also fear of losing its form once again.
    Although the frozen Pokemon in USUM...it kind of makes sense now. Given how they play Lusamine throughout the story in USUM, the frozen Pokemon did not make sense to me. I was always confused about it and how they gloss over it and no one mentions it ever again or Lusamine does not show such hobbies again or says she stop doing that.
    I see this as a leftover from SM. A cool scene that took some time to make in the battle before she goes in the Wormhole with Guzma to defeat Necrozma and save Alola. I think they just though it took more effort to take away, and it could be a nice Easter egg from SM.
    I will say it, SM's Lusamine character does sound like a great trip, and at the same time one of the great differences in story and character. Even in Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum did not had such a great change in story and characters in the third version. I say characters because Guzma is not just some underling. He respects and admires Lusamine, and wants to save Alola with her.
    Since I did not play SM and only saw parts of the story, besides Lusamine, I cannot say if SM, has the exact way as the characters play out. For one I do not think SM Guzma and USM Guzma are the same. Hau and Gladion I do not think they change that much. I think Lillie becomes more courageous in my opinion that is clouded by not having played the first game. Pretty much the majority of the characters with the exception of some team Skull members, Guzma, and Lusamine are the same (from the ones that SM and USUM share).

    I loved how Pokémon tried radically insane villains, starting off slow with Archie and Maxie, then moving to Cyrus whose goals slowly became more outlandish, to Ghetsis who was the classical manipulator and lying villain who just wants to watch the world burn, then Lysandre who had so much wasted potential but essentially wanted to nuke a city to preserve its beauty (stupid thought process ik), but Lusamine really filled in where Lysandre failed showing valid motivation for her actions. I hope Pokémon does better than their most recent villains because apart from Sada/Turo, their recent team leaders and antagonists have been underwhelming and ün intimidating compared to past villains.

I mean if what so many think is true and the third legend we know is out there really is evil or the big end fight it would be interesting to see what you think. I mean in a main line game there hasn't really been a evil pokemon villain. Maybe Necrozma or Eternatus but they seem to be more just following what they are. It's their nature. Most of the time pokemon are controlled or being forced to do bad by humans. a pokemon who is just evil and actually uses humans would be crazy to see.

    Nihilego actually reminds me of human 'parasites', they create a sense of dependency and cause erosion in their target's relationships. They do so by causing them to believe everyone is betraying them, isolating them from other people (Gladios and Lily). They then provide 'support and caring' once their victim is feeling betrayed and inferior and make it so that they are the only one their victim can rely on. Lusamine was the opposite of 'freed', her dependency is akin to stockholm syndrome.

    There's actually more to Lusamine having "no ego;" Freud based the triad of superego, ego, and id, off of older philosophical beliefs of the human person being made up of the mind, will and body, these beliefs go back all the way to at least Egypt probably even farther. In these ancient traditions view the mind/superego as symbolized by the head, the body/id as symbolized by the bowels or guts, and the will/ego as symbolized by the heart.
    In other words, Lusamine is heartless.

    I feel like Lusamine peaked at the original SM games. USUM kinda softened her character and made her palatable, almost as if she gets a pass for being the only woman supervillain in Pokémon at that point thus far. But if there's any takeaway from USUM that I actually really loved, it's Mohn showing up in Aether Foundation, not knowing who Lusamine is and Lusamine deciding to let Mohn go. That scene broke my heart into millions of pieces.

    of course scarlet and violet would show us what'd happen to Lusamine if she did go even further than she did in the original, unimpeded by kids: she'd probably be as dead as Sada and Turo!
    in a sense, the 3 are pretty similar, the only difference is Lusamine got interferred with in time, while no one was there to stop either Sada or Turo from going into the deep, and in the end they technically died alone when their paradox lizards fought each other and killed the professors by accident....

    It was so much more than just 'hiring' him and his gang. Simply hiring him wouldn't have been enough to make anyone jump through a wormhole after her into an unknown alien dimension.

      And Lusamine is exactly the kind of person who would take advantage of all that backstory for a loyal servant who will do whatever she asks, just by making him feel he's worth something.

    Lusamine's a great character. Both versions of her. The anime's incarnation is a flawed but loving mother who threw herself between her children and Nihilego without hesitation. The game's incarnation is a narcissist who's hyper focussed on the Ultra Beasts so her motives for fusing with Nihilego were entirely self-serving. Her core priorities in the anime are the reverse of what they are in the games.
