shigesatogou repeating history .

both ash and gary are abt to leave the anime, and i’m guessing goh already has. but pokémon is temporary, shigesatogou is forever. and so are their moments.

in ep 266 of os, the gayest conversation in pokemon ends up happening. gary says to ash “kirei na tsuki da na?” or “the moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”. this is often used as a confession of love in japan, a less straightforward ‘i love you’.

in jn135, a similar thing happens, with ash and goh. i’m not sure what exactly he did say in japanese, but he says “the stars are beautiful tonight” or ‘i like you’. it isn’t the same as what gary said, though he was looking at the moon while saying it. i know what you are.

goh’s iconic phrase “the future lies in my hands!” is said three times as ‘our hands’ instead. two of those times with ash, one of them with gary and horace. ash and goh say it after battling mewtwo and at the end of jn, the pm chasers say it after the mew mission. god, and they’re both after they battle the mew duo. that’s like, double gay.

gary literally comes back in journeys just to be goh’s rival. he’s ash’s first and most iconic rival, and came back to the series just to be the rival of ash’s new ‘buddy’.

and this isn’t directly shigesatogou, but both gary and kiawe tell ash he isn’t ‘deserving’ to be close to ash all the time. kiawe thinks goh’s his new rival, but gary knows goh and ash became instant best friends. man they fr got anipoke to bring back 2 of ash’s bitches to challenge goh as ash’s biggest bi-

also gary and ash are ‘first friends’, as well as ash and goh.

if shigesato doesn’t have an “i’m glad i met you” moment in the last ep i’m gonna yell cmon anipoke it’s happened to both shigegou and satogou

theyr all gay goodbye there’s probably a lot i missed

#shigesatogou #satogou #shigesato #shigegou #i love them i don't want them to leave pls

I’m curious, what’s your opinion on KohaHika and SatoGou? (or any others of the JN Crew shipped together except of PearlShipping)

Personally, I think KohaHika’s a bit mid and SatoGou’s adorable but not my favourite, but I wanna hear your thoughts.

They're great if as a package deal in the GouSatoHikaKoha policule

Tbh I am an old fan, so ship baits from XY onwards dont have the same effect on me as it has on younger fans I think. If we're talking mlm ships for Ash or wlw ships for Dawn I will always learn towards ShigeSato or NozoHika. Gary is just too much of an iconic gay and Zoey could be my fave Dawn partner if she was just a little less perfect

Like, Go is very gay for Ash, no doubts about that but like... there's just nothing beating SatoHika's relationship for me. SatoHika -bffs-co protag-maybe more- relationship is just so way better explored than SatoGou's in my opinion.

And Chloe in itself is too much of a nothing character for me to invest on her ships (no offense, but girl has like 20 eps focused on her on a 100 eps series, she deserved more)

#also if im being honest i dont give a shit about pokeani ships asiohduasihduia crazy i know #its only satohika that has a gripe in my soul everything else is like cute cause cmon is pokeani there aint not bad ships here #(except kennydawn and conwaydawn those are objectively bad dont at me #my girl deserves better)#but like i dont care for ships in general #i get the appeal for those two like theyre very obvs gay and we stan but like eh #answered asks #|→ not not

SatoGou Week 2021

Day 5) Awakening / “It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” - Agatha Christie

Judging by Goh's reaction here, I'm pretty sure he found Ash's rather... unorthodox... approach to conducting research and understanding pokémon a little ridiculous. For a boy that spent his younger years behind computer screens reading up on all things pokémon and for someone that believed at the time analyzing data was the best way to predict and understand pokémon, the notion that they should "act like an Ivysaur" probably seemed more than a little out there. Like way out there.

But one way of growing is opening your mind to new ideas, new possibilities... and Goh is a smart enough boy to realize this.

That, and he trusts Ash now, after Ash had just proved to absolutely not be exactly like "everyone else" that had hurt Goh in the past when he offered Goh a helping hand even though they were "fighting" at the time.

And then, after Goh helped Ash get even higher up the building, Ash extended another hand to Goh, and that's the moment when Goh realized Ash wouldn't leave him behind. Ever.

So Goh trusted Ash's idea here and in doing so, within him awakened a new way of thinking and seeing, a new perspective on the world, and life in general.

That wasn't the only awakening Goh had that day, either:

Possibly the most iconic scene in the SatoGou shipping fandom... or at the very least one of the top three. Seeing Ash take a courageous stand to protect a group of pokémon against seemingly impossible odds had a profound impact on Gou and how he sees pokémon... and Ash. Some will call it admiration. Others will go a step further and call it hero worship. I see it as the moment Goh's heart started shining brighter than the hyper beams Ash and Pikachu were staring down.

Of course we can't forget about Goh's second(?) most iconic awakening within the shipping fandom:

By now I'd say the boy is wide awake and realizes just how much he's in love with his research fellow and best friend. 💗

Let’s See how Far We’ve Come

This post is purely self indulgent, but the newest pokemon op has been living rent free in my head for 2 days and I just had to jot down all my thoughts. There are SO many parallels and symbolism present to show how far Satoshi, Gou, and Koharu have come in the anime, based on direct comparisons in the past openings to the present. This is going to be a long post, so the full analysis is below the cut so as not to fill your dashes with an unescapable SatoGou ride.

Before we even begin, let’s get the obvious out of the way: Satoshi and Gou’s VAs are the ones singing the song. This is a deliberate choice that the directors/animators/crew want us to take notice of. They are the ones duetting and singing together - this is their OP, their story. As such, everything in this OP should be viewed as not just happening for our sakes as the audiences as an intro to the world and characters, it is Satoshi and Gou personally showing us how they view the world and each other. This is no longer a third-party’s view on our two protags, this is their viewpoint and perspective.

The opening starts off with the, now very iconic, scene of SatoGou standing with their pokemon on the grassy plains with the title card, but now even that has changed.

Almost immediately, the differences start. Before, the camera is simply climbing up the hill before landing on SatoGou with their starters. Now, The camera follows a Pidgey as it flies by all their current companions at the Sakuragi Lab. This presents us with a metaphor that, where OP1 was a gentle ascent, in the current OP, the boys and Koharu are soaring towards their dreams fast, much like the Pidgey.

Cute first clue that the boys have gotten closer: as it lands on SatoGou, both of the boys and their pokemon get literally closer, before the title card moves past them onto Vermillion City, where before the camera would simply linger on the both of them standing to the vast blue yonder.

Speaking of which, I always found it interesting that Gou and Co. are from Vermillion to begin with. It could have been any city, not even in Kanto, but it’s deliberately Vermillion. While it may not mean anything: Vermillion is a deep red color, matching with Gou’s design, and symbolizes life and eternity. I wonder if maybe this is a nod that Satoshi has found his forever traveling partner, whether we view this as romantic or platonic is neither here nor there, and it is the anime director’s way of saying “hey, this is our final form of the show” and maybe another hint that this will be Satoshi’s last journey - if Journey’s ever ends, it will follow a new protag or the anime finishes completely and only does yearly OVA’s to promote the games/merch. Food for thought.

Continuing on:

In the first opening, the boys are shown separately, doing their own thing in the present - Satoshi playing with Pikachu, Gou packing with Scorbunny

The new opening instead chooses to spend this moment reflecting on SatoGou’s past - Satoshi first meeting Pikachu and Gou first encountering Mew -

Both of these moments in time being what led them on to their current path. A path that, wouldn’t you know it?

Leads to them meeting each other and their current adventure.

Also, let’s go back and focus on Koharu back there for a second too, because she has changed a lot even just in these few moments.

In the first OP, Koharu is distant from the gang, almost cold and impassionate, even just kinda poking at Yamper who, even tho she likes, she keeps at a distance.

In this OP, Koharu has found her passion for pokemon, Eevee being a big factor, present in every shot Koharu is in. She waves to the boys as they leave, finally understanding and supporting them, as well as traveling with them to go visit Hikari, the Sato to her Gou. I think it’s wonderful to compare her start and finish and see how much she has grown thanks to everyone she’s met.

Let’s go back to SatoGou now, looking at the iconic paper cutouts and how they’ve changed:

While SatoGou are definitely alongside one another, they are still cutout separately with different reactions to something happening. Meanwhile in the current OP:

SatoGou are cut out from the same sheet of paper, now interacting with one another and side by side. They are no longer two research buddies who happen to travel together, they are two friends on the same journey together, even if they have different goals. Speaking of which, this might blow your mind (I know it did mine once I noticed):

In OP1, Gou is reaching toward Mew, his goal, then opens his eyes to which Satoshi then joins him, literally appearing in his life and taking him by surprise. This really shows how happy Gou is to find someone who is standing beside him and supporting him on this journey, someone who get’s his goal and doesn’t laugh or scoff at it. I think this is one of the reasons the ship name of “firstfriendshipping” still feels so right for the two even though Gou has always had Koharu. Yes, he cares about and likes being around her, but he’s never had a true companion who really gets him. Satoshi does though, and in that way, he’s his first real “friend”. Despite having a friend beside him though, Gou’s goal is this this unattainable Mew and it is his goal alone. In the newest OP however?

First off, I just really love the cinematography of this, but more importantly, the symbolism is off the charts here.

Where before Gou is standing alone before Satoshi appears into his life, Gou is now alongside his three Galar pokemon. They don’t just appear beside him like Satoshi, they are right behind him, pushing him forward to be able to reach that star in the sky - another interesting change in this OP btw: Mew is not a Sun, so far and shining so bright that it’s unreachable. Mew is now a little star that pops up off of a Pokeball, one of the very stars that appears every time he makes a nice catch. And, even more interesting, is that transition to Satoshi that every SatoGou fan took notice of immediately.

I just want to kind of linger on this frame and compare it to another OP for one second - OP 2, in particular.

In OP 2, we get this shot of Gou, his eyes reflecting his goal of catching every pokemon on his way to Mew. I find this so SO intentional on the part of the animators to compare these two shots and what they mean. Yes, the transition from Gou to Satoshi through a zoom in on Gou’s eyes is, of course, just straight up cool. It’s a good transition - smooth, sleek, and eye-catching. But it’s also just way too symbolic for no reason. What’s reflected in the character’s eyes during OPs are always meaningful, such as in the shot above from OP2 and also a similar shot with Koharu and Eevee in OP3

We know, it means a lot to have something reflected in your eyes. So, what can we infer it means that neither Mew nor Pokemon is reflected in Gou’s eyes in the newest OP but instead Satoshi? I think it’s pretty self-explanatory, tbh. Gou’s dream, his goal, is no longer just to catch Mew - he wants to see Satoshi reach his own goal one day, to be in a stadium competing and wining the championship, becoming a Pokemon Master. Satoshi, in this way, is Gou’s new dream.

Satoshi, meanwhile, has also grown a lot. We all know that Satoshi has tons and tons of Pokemon, so I find it interesting that OP1 takes a staunch approach at only showing Satoshi with Pikachu, not even hinting at what pokemon he might catch in the future of the show like Farfetch’d and hatching Riolu. In every other Pokemon OP before Journeys, Satoshi is shown with the rest of his team, expanding more and more until he reaches his full party. In OP1 tho, Satoshi only has Pikachu, symbolizing and pointing out how Satoshi always “restarts” his adventure with just Pikachu when he goes to a new region. How has this changed in the newest OP tho?

Not only does Satoshi have his full team, he also still has his pokemon from before, his Greninja,

his Alola team, and probably we’ll even see the others one day, considering how many other old companions and regions are coming back. Which brings me onto my next point -

We really have some of the greatest hits here, huh? Satoshi no longer has a single region - a single friendgroup or rival - influencing his dreams anymore. Satoshi has had and made many rivals and friends through his journeys and OP4 acknowledges this. We aren’t forgetting anything about where Satoshi has come from or how much he’s grown. All his past journeys have accumulated to make him into the person he is today:

The person who will take on Dande and who is traveling alongside Gou.

What a wonderful OP. Every frame is so well considered and symbolic, I appreciate it so much. I hope my super long breakdown and comparison of it made you appreciate it slightly more now too.
