I don’t think this was Jessie’s mother she would of been on he mew mission, it might have been he he foster mother

Just the fact that they were so poor, Jessie had to eat snow. And idk, but also the fact that she sees it as a good memory is both messed up and sad??? Like if this event is happy, it shows just how much Jessie has suffered and struggled.

It also makes me wonder until how long may have Jessie been removed from this possible foster family. No way she would be allowed to stay in a place that can’t provide for her. Even more sad since she seemed to like this person, going as far as to refer to them as ā€˜mommy’.

ā€œOh, I fit in anywhere!ā€œ

She really, really wanted to fit in. She seems happy in every home she’s put in. Even when she isn’t, she acts perky and keeps trying her absolute best… it’s getting beat down over and over and over, failure after failure, that’s given her such a tough shell now, but she really did try hard. Compare to how bubbly and also gentle she tried to be in the nursing school…

[And yeah, Dogasu stated it’s not likely to be Miyamoto, but the dub had her be Jessie’s mom.]

my fav thing about this is how in the sub kojiro and nyarth are like ā€œHAVE YOU SERIOUSLY NEVER EATEN -REAL- SUSHI?ā€ and musashi is like ā€œeh? when people say ā€˜sushi’ aren’t they just shortening ā€˜snow sushi’?ā€

OW.

Yeah, there’s…there’s a lot about Musashi’s childhood she assumes is normal and that’s another realistic trait, until reality smacks her in the face like, BY THE WAY, you aren’t supposed to eat the leaves in your food on Kodomo no Hi,, your family was just dirt poor.

Typically James XD

Why do they keep mentioning past saddness and traumas with happiness ;-;

I mean getting beat up every day must have been hard. Especially for a kid.

This is one of the things I love about them. No matter how many hardships they go through, Jessie, James, and Meowth always try their best to remain positive and be happy. Like sure, the stuff they go through does get them down at times and hurts. But no matter what they always get back up. Always working and fighting for that White Tomorrow. If that isn’t beautiful and amazing I don’t know what is.

ā€œSo, James is in Team Rocket?Ā But he’s still as kind as ever, isn’t he?ā€

I want to remind everyone that in the original, the absolutely beautiful AG ending song, Smile, played as an insert song in this farewell:

The tears you shed now,
Unable to hold them back, are shining
Even so, that doesn’t change
The unrestrained wind that moves your heart

It’s important to try hard, but
If your strength only exists
To hide your honest weakness,
You’re better off without it.

Even if you can’t see it now,
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile.

All people wander through today,
Little travelers
Sometimes getting lost, sometimes straying
As they search for tomorrow

Escape from being hurt,
Even if you can’t move today
There’s nothing to lose,
Surely

Because we are standing
At the beginning of tomorrow

A step so small, yet important
Will depict your future
Grab hold of something
Your own dirty hands are your medal

Even if you can’t see it now
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile.

Let’s feel the wind and start walking once again

It suits him very well and the line about how everyone is a traveller, sometimes lost, sometimes going astray, searching for tomorrow is one of my favourite lines ever (but also strongly fits how Kojiro’s caretakers saw him— I think those specific lines played over the TRio leaving in the balloon too? But it’s been years… regardless, to a White Tomorrow, right?)

I love the Japanese version so much, ugh.
