Pokémon Anime Enters New Arc "Rising Again" on October 31st, Fans Buzzing with Excitement

The TV anime "Pokémon" has announced that it will be entering a new arc titled "Rising Again" starting Friday, October 31st, garnering significant attention from fans.

The released key visual depicts the new setting, "Blueberry Academy," and shows the upcoming characters Taro and Kaki, as well as the back of Friede, heightening expectations for their reappearance.

In this new arc, Misaki Kuno has been cast as the voice of the new character Machia, and Masahiko Tanaka as the mysterious "Mayonnaise Master." The addition of these unique characters to the story has already sparked anticipation on social media, with comments such as "Kuno-chan's voice will make her explosively cute!" and "Just the name 'Mayonnaise Master' makes me curious!"

Fans are speculating that this arc, set at Blueberry Academy where Terastallization is incorporated into classes, could be a "training arc" for the main characters Riko, Roy, and Dot. Particular attention is being paid to whether Ult will learn Terastallization, and how Riko's Terastallization and Roy's Mega Evolution will evolve.

Furthermore, many voices express eagerness for the anime's depiction of familiar characters from the games, with comments like "Huge expectations for Taro & Kaki's活躍!" and "Will Suguri and Zayū also appear?" Some overseas fans have even speculated that this might be the final arc for Riko and Roy, though this is not an official announcement.

After the "Mega Voltage Arc" and a special episode, "Rising Again" is about to begin. With new companions, fans are eagerly awaiting October 31st to see how Riko and her friends' adventures will "rise again."

The context

The current Pokémon anime series, known in Japan as "Pocket Monsters" and internationally as "Pokémon Horizons: The Series," began airing in April 2023, marking a significant shift as it introduced a new protagonist, Riko, and her companion Roy, replacing the long-standing main character Ash Ketchum. This series is set in the Paldea region, featured in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet video games. Blueberry Academy is a significant location in the "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk" downloadable content (DLC) for these games, known for its unique underwater campus and focus on Pokémon battles and Terastallization – a phenomenon that allows Pokémon to change their type and boost their power. The mentioned characters like Taro, Kaki (Kakitubata), Suguri (Kieran), and Zayū (Carmine) are all key figures from this DLC. The "Mega Voltage Arc" refers to the previous story segment of the current anime series, leading into this new "Rising Again" arc.
