Challenge of the Samurai!

Posted April 14th, 2010 at 2:23 PM by I Laugh at your Misfortune!



I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a big fan of Samurai. Besides the fact that he leaps around thrusting his long, quivering sword at innocent young boys and girls, there's also the fact that he blames Ash for being distracted by said sword being thrust at him, instigates the worst battle EVER and spends most of the episode calling Ash "novice", before admitting that he hasn't won ANY battles at all. Kinda hypocritical.

So yeah, I don't like him. Aside from that, though, it's an alright episode. Don't get wrong, it's not bad, but this is nothing when compared to the first episode. Metapod's evolution is cool, but it's nothing truly special. I guess the word for an episode like this is average. My ELOT is below.

Spoiler:
- Do they really need to keep repeating the bit from the first episode?
- Couldn't they have just cut that joke? Or, like, added a moo sound effect?
- The dex is making bad puns now?
- HOLY CRAP HE HAS A SWORD
- ...and an annoying voice
- HOW has he heard of Ash already?
- I think he might've distracted Ash with the SWORD.
- Why is Pidgeotto tired? It wasn't exactly a super tough battle?
- WHAT THE HELL DID THEY JUST SHOW METAPOD GETTING RIPPED IN HALF?
- yeah, his Pinsir was totally defeated
- MAXIMUM HARDNESS
- Don't either of them consider the POINT of this?
- How is the 'tank' heavy if it's made of cardboard
- "Boys can be so stubborn" THE IRONY
- heh, "hard-headed"
- Samurai is a bit of an *******
- looking at those lines on ash's face, meowth just scratched his eyeballs.
- Beedrills? There must be some special plural forms for some of them.
- YES IT WAS SAMURAI'S FAULT HE ATTACKED YOU WITH A SWORD IT'S NOT SURPRISING YOU WERE DISTRACTED
- Sleep Powder is kinda a cheap move in the anime
- Doesn't anyone feel sorry for team rocket here?


Next time - Showdown in Pewter City! The trio is completed!
