The pacing felt weird when Liko lost so quickly at the end and it makes all her growth feel like it was for nothing since she keeps getting defeated
satori_sensei
I really loved the crowd chanting for Fuecoco while he evolved because it made the whole moment feel so huge and special for Roy and his partner
violet_evergarden_168
I cannot get over how good the animation looked during the final clash between Floragato and Crocalor. The way they used the terrain and Hattrem's healer ability to get rid of that paralysis was such a smart move by Liko. Seeing Roy win felt right, after all his struggle, and that evolution scene with the singing literally gave me chills
asuka_langley_181
Roy won the battle against Liko and seeing him get that victory after all the training he put in with Fuecoco made the long wait totally worth it
mitsuri_mochi_132
The way Hattrem stepped in to heal Floragato showed how much of a team they are becoming and the tactics in this fight were better than anything else in the series so far
alvavalva
It felt like Liko got a bit shafted by having Hattrem go down that fast and my heart hurt for her seeing another loss right at the end of the arc
kuda_gitsune
you usually expect the grass starter to stay in its base form forever in this show and seeing that trope die with floragato evolving was so satisfying
vexen_457
watching the crystals catch the light during the big clash between the two new evolutions made the tournament finale feel like a proper conclusion to the training
hanzaki_hero
Watching both Floragato and Crocalor evolve during the tournament was such a highlight for me because it really feels like the story is finally moving forward and even though the battle outcome between Liko and Roy is sparking a lot of debate on whether the win was actually earned, the sheer energy of the Terastal forms made the final clash of the school arc feel truly significant
silentotaku
i was so worried they would keep sprigatito in the first stage forever so seeing it finally become floragato was a massive relief
asuna_angel_100
Floragato and Crocalor clashing with their Terastal forms looked so much better than the usual stock footage and the choreography during the final exchange was really fluid
chad_champion
putting the terastal power on top of those double evolutions made the visuals look so much better and it gave the end of this school arc a lot of impact
ittan_momen
Nemona and Arven watching from the stands made the atmosphere feel huge and the impact frames when the finishing moves collided were breathtaking
breemx1
roy getting the victory is kind of annoying when you look at how much liko has been growing lately and it makes arc 3 feel a bit unbalanced
abelferrazmiku
Seeing Arven show up for a second was such a treat, even if the main focus was definitely on how much Liko has improved her battle instincts lately
sailor_mercury_394
Roy getting the win after Liko worked so hard on her strategy with Floragato feels like a letdown especially after that Sucker Punch moment
matsumoto_melon_467
The animation for the Terastallization felt so different this time and the way it looked when Liko and Roy both went for it at the end was stunning
hatifnatik
Fuecoco evolving into Crocalor right in the middle of the fight was so hype and Roy looked so genuinely happy to see his partner grow like that
mallow_342
The way Crocalor formed from that evolution mid battle while the music was going was easily the best scene in the series so far
pikachu_302
The animation for the Terastal moves was incredible and it felt like a real boss fight even if Roy winning feels a bit weird with how the arc went
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming directly off the high-stakes defense of Naranja Academy against the Explorers in Episode 66, this episode shifts the energy from external threats to internal growth, channeling the momentum into a milestone battle between the series' two leads. It serves as a culmination of the training and development Liko and Roy have undergone throughout the season. The outcome of this battle is positioned to shape their trajectories heading into the next phase of the story.
