HE DID IT. OUR BOY FINALLY DID IT AFTER 25+ YEARS. HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE!!
Amazing episode with sakuga, first opening theme, and the intense voice acting.
I'm just so happy that Pikachu was the one that got the final win. Seeing all the flashbacks of all of Ash's pokemon was a nice touch and by far the best 1v1 battle i've seen.
Just amazing.

Now will Ash finally retire after this series/ win? Who knows.

This was one hell of a heavy hitter of an episode, not just Ash winning, but the everything else as well. Cameos of Ash's friends who are watching from the screen, all of Ash's Pokémon cheering Pikachu on (even some released ones as well), and top tier class animation.

Yeah, safe to say that this is my favorite episode of Journeys.

OH, ALSO, there's a reason as to why Eternatus came and left at an instant. To shorten this reply, I covered it with spoilers to shorten it. lol:

Don't tell me you didn't crack a Tear when you saw classy Squirtle and Bulbasaur, Charizard the Legend.. our long-lost Butterfree and Pidgeot, and then the nostalgia kept piling on and on.
What a Team. What a Win. I was skeptical about how they would make a Tired PIkachu's Win against 2 Top tier Dynamaxed Pokemon work, and the answer was in the genre all along - Its Anime logic precisely when we needed it the most.
Think about it. All of Ash's Pokemon feel the same way towards Pikachu too, he's also been with all of them and spent so much time with them, cheering them on and doing so much for everyone on the team.
Pikachu is where the hopes and dreams of all Pokemon and thus, the hopes of dreams of all pokemon fans lie.
They respected their own franchise. They retraced the reasons of why Pokemon is so important for all of us,
Sidenote - Even the games give us the feel when your best mon survives at 1HP in a final, just so you can heal with a berry/potion and crush the opponent with your game logic.

It was a wonderful episode and a fantastic victory.Also, Amazing Sakuga and Battle Choreography.

P.S. - Let's Re-Learn Something, Fire is 8x Weak against Electric, and Electric seems to be 16x resistant to fire. Obviosuly.

I'm not caught up with the recent series but I'm very proud of my boy. It took him a long time which makes it totally worth it. I watched a clip because I couldn't wait to see this moment...

Sakuga fest

Moment of silence

Everyones watching

Cute moment with Pikachu and his friends

The Very Best.

Well made this sweet ending. The moment I saw Butterfree, Pidgeot and the original gang is when I got really emotional.
It has been 25 years and I'm watching this show since 1999, but Ash is finally here and I'm glad to see it happening.
What cames after is a mystery.

Whatever happens to the show, I'm just glad I was able to enjoy the entire journey since the very beginning. Every good and bad moment of the show, till the very end.

I couldn't be more happy with this conclusion.

Congratulations Satoshi


Also maybe this victory can finally break his aging curse

LET'SSSSS GOOOOOO!!!!!

Our boy Ash has finally done it! What a battle it was! Leon dominated throughout the whole match, but it was Pikachu who aced the fight. The climax, the animation, fight choreography, mad respect for the studio for showing us the joy, excitement, determination etched into both Ash and Leon's face. The whole fight was GOLD!

Pikachu has really outdone himself, constantly pushed beyond his limits, going Super Saiyan! Seeing the OG team appear, then all of Ash's pokemons and lastly Ash encouraging Pikachu in spirit, it was just something else. I don't feel much emotion, but this scene was definitely felt.

I think this fight is Pokemon journeys reedemption, albeit a late one to say the least. But pushing everything aside, If this is the end of Ash's journey, I couldn't have asked for much more. Ash, he has really become the very best like no one ever was.

Omgdfkjhd. I can't believe he's actually done it. Last episode I lost all hope but he's actually done it. After all these years.

I watched this episode raw because I couldn't wait but I didn't even realize the subs were missing and I think it only enhanced the experience.

When Max showed up in that cameo I actually teared up. I know a lot of people don't like him but he holds a place in my heart and to see him again after all these years got me emotional.

What full on made me cry though was the scene with Pikachu where all the old Pokemon show up. I don't remember the last time the Pokemon anime made me cry but that scene was absolutely incredible.

Truly an amazing episode to end Ash's journey with.

This episode will feel like the best thing ever... if your mind is as free as a 10yr old.

Unfortunately, that's not the state of my mind. Damn they totally threw logic out of the window with this ep. Pikachu's relentless stamina reminded me of b-grade action cinemas, where the MC has countless bullets in his gun and doesn't need reloading.

Utterly disappointing... as usual.

I loved it when every of Ash's Pokemon cheered on Pikachu. Everyone was giving it their best for this moment, they're all part of the journey and they be like, you got this bro. Pikachu imagined them because he knew that he was fighting for them too.

Monumental episode not just for the franchise but for anime as a whole.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

My favourite moment was in this episode when they showed all pokemon of Ash from season 1 to this season 😍

Wow. I remember watching the very first episode of Pokemon on TV when the dub was released in the late 90s. The next day at school, everybody was hyped over the appearance of Ho-Oh. Of course, since nobody had the internet or knew that the series was already way ahead in Japan, nobody actually knew what the hell it was. Good times. Still remember how big of a deal the Orange League win was back in the day. I watched the original series and Advanced Generation religiously, and rediscovered that love during the Twitch Marathon in 2018, where I saw most of the Diamond and Pearl and Black and White sagas. Didn't see much of X&Y, but I kept tabs on Sun and Moon occasionally. Hadn't seen Journeys until I saw the news about Ash today. In my country, it's literally one of the most read articles on BBC News. Had to watch the episode, naturally. Even though it was brief, just seeing characters like Brock, Misty, and Tracey again—as well as all of Ash's previous Pokemon—was wild. What a journey it has been. Already have Scarlet pre-ordered. Even more hyped to play now.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE, one of the best animation I've seen in Pokémon and the final part of the battle was really tense, makes you think he wouldn't do it but finally he won and became the ultimate trainer after losing so many times in the previous seasons it's especially great when we had that flashback part of Pikachu and all Ash's teams over the different seasons, it made me really nostalgic

Episode 132 was absolutely stunning! The animation, even though the team is understaffed, did an amazing job, it was beautiful and I, didn't even believe there can be a pokemon battle that I found this engaging nowadays, but this was the fight, cool attacks, using the surroundings in fight, Pikachu's signature thunder to the sky, and perfect holding at the edge of my seat for the result. Charizard versus Pikachu was the best fight in Pokémon Journeys, this episodes ranks among the peak of the whole Pokemon anime and has a contender for the best pikachu moment ever. As a matter of fact, it was so great I even cried, which I didn't think was even possibility these days. I was so hyped, recently I wasn't getting so pumped up during the fights, but this one got me. I felt like in the old days during Gary vs. Ash or Paul vs. Ash, etc., seriously. The cameos were great, mainly of the old gang, when I saw Butterfree and Pidgeot, that was the moment that broke me. This was probably one of the most important steps toward Ash's dream of becoming the Pokemon Master.
If you don't agree with me you certainly have the right to have your own opinion, but I simply loved this episode.

One of the best animations in the pokemon journeys.

Idk, I feel like all of Ash's Pokemon were great this match. Pikachu was unedniably the star, but almost everyone took down an enemy Pokemon. Even Sirfetch'd, the only one not to get a W, broke down Mr. Rime's strategy and weakened Rillabeast.
