It's nice to have the confirmation, but we've known that ever since we got our first good look at Lucius, if not had a guess she was the Ancient Adventurer's descendant from learning he existed due to her resonance with the pendant :"D

Also wild that we know Liko's whole relevant lineage almost, but never found out who Ash's dad was. :"D

The first part of the meeting with Rystal. There's a couple of hints here, her reaction to seeing Lucius's Pokemon is her expressing relief they're okay, so something clearly happened there (perhaps the incident that scattered them all over the world?) and her demeanor shifts and becomes more serious when Friede mentions Laqua-- there's something that feels like bad news about the nature of this place.

The shots of the Explorers in the new OP!

(Seems constant exposure to the Rakurium has caused the ends of Gibeon's hair to change color. I'm so amped for that backstory episode, when we get that I probably won't shut up for a while. I apologize in advance.)

Honestly tho, Spinel's probably the best anime-original villain Pokémon's had. (Not counting the TRio, they're more comedic than they are a threat.) Most of the myriad poachers we've had over the years were pretty forgettable barring J, and she was more "overwhelming power and cool tech" than she was a schemer. (And her petrification gauntlet isn't even unique anymore thanks to that one dude from MPM) and most of the unique Team Rocket characters we've had were only around for a couple episodes, not really leaving time to get much of an impression from them.

There's a few good movie villains like Mewtwo and Molly, but they're more sympathetic rather than evil. Mewtwo is angered over being treated as someone's experiment and is trying to carve a place for himself in the world, and Molly is a kid who lost her family. But with the other evil movie villains like Kodai, Alva, the Iron-Masked Marauder, and Dr. Zed, we run into a similar problem of not being around long enough and it's mostly their tech over their intelligence that makes them as big a threat as they are. (I feel Alva was probably the smartest one? He was manipulating the prince, but it's an adult to a child. I feel Zed topped him in evil tho, since he successfully murdered two people-- I'm still pretty sure this is our first case of human-on-human murder in the anime--and thought he got away with killing an ACTUAL INFANT. When I first saw that, I was pretty shocked.)

With Spinel, every setback is a learning experience, and several of them weren't even things he could have anticipated, like Terapagos's pendant exploding out of his hand.

He's a pretty solid tactician tho, using his Magneton for interference with the Brave Olivine's systems and the RVT's phones, baiting Liko to come off alone and then mind-wiping her, ordering his Pokemon to attack from remotely so the group never sees his face (at least until he can't really hide anymore with the pendant going haywire), disseminating false information across the net to throw the RVT off the right trail, luring Friede into a trap because what are a couple kids gonna do in stopping them from getting Rayquaza (it was really more failure on the end of the other Explorers, he had successfully stalled Friede long enough at that point), and there's now his recent thing with getting Amethio expelled from the Explorers by framing him. (As a contingency plan in case his murder attempt against the kid failed.)

It's clear he's got his own agenda, and I'm curious to see what he's got in store for us now that one of Gibeon's most loyal pawns is gone, and now that Spinel is in Gibeon's ear 👀

As per usual in a Spinel episode, all the nice screengrabs of my boy 😁

Dude just giving his happiest, cutest smile to Chalce after trapping two kids with full intent that it (slowly) kills them. At least Amethio anyway. Apparently, he makes a comment that It's for the good of the Explorers if Amethio "disappears." I'm glad that, of the Explorers, we have one that's seemingly irredeemable.
