Sorry for formatting, hit the daily limit again. I may be forgetting something, but I wonder if we’ve seen Kiawe using Marowak to pull off the Inferno Overdrive Z-Move before. It normally feels like we see him using Turtonator.

The green flames are pretty cool.

Kiawe gets off an Inferno Overdrive before Kukui takes him out, but the YT upload I’m using cut out the animation. I’ll probably get the scene later when subs are out.

The audience is chanting “Champion!” as this scene plays. (Also, they reused the Sun and Moon animation. The entire battle so far as been pretty eh, animation-wise, but I guess they’re saving budget for the Masters 8 battles.)

Poor Lillie was the first to get taken out this battle.

Hau and Team Skull came to watch the battle! I was kind of expecting Faba and Wicke, but these cameos were a surprise!

Also, I like them giving Faba and Wicke a pretty decent-sized role this episode as the announcers! There’s also Faba blushing when he sees Kukui, tho it’s probably hard to spot. (And Lillie stating Nihilego is new family when her class reacts with shock at seeing it, and hearing its nickname.):

Random Thoughts: Professor Kukui, Pokemon Sun and Moon anime and Galar

Random thoughts:

We’re getting close to the end of the Sun and Moon anime, and to be honest, that makes me a bit sad.

I really hope that Sun and Moon will not be the last time that we get to see Professor Kukui or Kiawe, but especially Kukui.

Out of all the professors, Ash (Satoshi) seems closest to him. The man was practically the father figure we all wished he had for 20 odd years.

Literally, he’s the only professor on the series that I’m excited to see when he pops up.

I’m hoping that Kukui has reasons to visit the Galar region next season.

There goes my random thought of the day.
