I was so hyped when this started playing in this episode😭

I literally cried. Tears were welling up when Pikachu got knocked down, and in his visions saw Ash's old teams, all of them rooting for him to get up. Then he does and the guitar riff happened and my tears didn't stop!

The animation, the song, the respective hat flip & toss..... It's so perfect. I literally tear up every time I see this. As a kid who quite literally grew up with Pokemon, first playing Blue all the way back when I was 13, the first time I saw this had me fucking BAWLING. 😭🥱

The second, the beat dropped, you knew it was about to go down.

When did Pokemon become Dragon Ball? Pikachu totally went Super Saiyan.

Me: "Ah. So we're ugly crying today. Very well."

Ash: "Use Thunderbolt" Pikachu: (basically does Volt Tackle) Me: Well, I can't complain. I'm glad they finally brought it back. Technically...

I couldn't imagine the hype of watching this when it happened. I heard it was even on TV screens out in japan and train station monitors. Hype as hell.

This moment in history was beautiful. Bro like coming full circle but taking 29 years to finally hit. Magical experience man.

@RedVelvetNite Absolutely perfect scene

Dude. DUDE.

A chill run down my spine holy fuck

This legit brought tears to my eyes 😭

I still think this was supposed to be Pikachu's version of the Blaze ability from Infernape, which is weird because Pikachu doesn't have this type of ability, but anyway, onions were cut while watching this scene.

Jumped off my couch and got the chills. Watched this with my daughter. She understood what happened, but not the magnitude. Hoping I can teach her one day.

i mean pikachu basically unlocked conqueror's haki

november 11th 2022 is a day ill never forget

Then he turns the hat back. Bro I cried

top 3 moment of the decade

Chills everytime i watch the music just hits so differently

And then Ash lost again and had to go to a new region to win another championship so there could be a new series

I don't see a fire blast or thunderbolt attack here...

A part of my childhood came rushing back and I couldn't help but tear up 🥲
