Gibeon losing his mind and staring at the Poké Ball after Lucius lectured him was a dark turn that made him feel way more human than just some evil shadow boss
kaminari_chargebolt_126
I can't believe Gibeon actually lost it when Zygarde just walked away from him and it felt so weird seeing a villain crumble like that after being so scary
sterngrand_sword_488
Seeing Zygarde just disassemble and leave Gibeon standing there with an empty ball was such a cold way to show that you can't just force a legendary to follow you without any heart
corkus_the_cynic_192
You can tell Amethio is totally different now because he actually worked with Liko and that moment where they were in sync to land the hit on Zygarde was everything
hoho_hurricane
Watching four trainers all go Tera at once against a legendary was the coolest thing and Zygarde using Thousand Waves for the first time was such a huge detail for fans
palkia_308
The scale of the fight with all the main kids teaming up against one massive white Zygarde was a massive step up and seeing them push their limits with Terastallization was so great to see

It was interesting to see Gibeon get totally rejected for his cold science, and Lucius coming in to drop those truth bombs about bonds really hit home
glenn_radars
The battle felt a little slow with all those reaction shots but I loved seeing Meowscarada finally show up and take charge against such a massive threat
gerrard_gambit_489
I was really worried for Amethio when Ceruledge almost got hit but Liko jumped in to save him and that led to the evolution which was the best thing in the whole series for me so far and then Zygarde just splitting into cells and leaving Gibeon alone in his anger was such a satisfying way to end the battle
raifort
Gibeon losing his mind over friendship felt a bit over the top and it was weird that Zygarde waited that long to just leave him
ashiaraiyashiki
The team finally starting the purification of Laqua has me interested to see how they wrap up this whole saga
waifuhunter
This evolution scene hit me hard since it felt earned after everything Liko and Floragato went through
ningyo_nemesis_48
I thought the fight was a bit clunky with how often they stopped to talk but the visuals for Meowscarada made up for it
raijin_rider
Zygarde was never on Gibeon's side and watching it just abandon him the second he started yelling about his lack of bonds felt like the perfect karma
candice_corona
That evolution into Meowscarada was so well done and Flower Trick looked amazing in the finish
hollow_ichigo
I could not stop smiling when Pagogo went into that Stellar Form and started fixing Laqua because I have been waiting for this lore for so many episodes
silentotaku
Zygarde choosing to let them pass because it respected Liko and Meowscarada felt way more earned than just knocking it out
benimaru_blaze_152
Seeing all four of Zygarde signature moves in one episode was a lot, and that betrayal of Gibeon at the end was such a shock.
professor_namba
Dot using her head to find those weak points while the others attacked showed how much of a brain she has when things get that intense
sailor_moon
Gibeon losing because he couldn't understand bonds was a brutal way to go, but his breakdown made him feel way more human than your average villain
