>>29433505The only reason I believe in a heroic Ash is for the scenes in the various previews where we see:
>Team Skull early on>Ash running faster then Kawai and Lana through the forest which looks like the moments before he uses the Z-Move for the first time>Ash and Kawai teaming up to fight, the moment where Pikachu runs down Ashs arm and jumps offAsh is getting action early on, how far that goes though we just don't know.
IF there is a moment where he's protecting someone or getting Team Skull to leave then I could see the series being generally easy going but having plot sprinkled in here and there for a later time.
Lots of comedy anime have plots have an over arching story that don't really get touched in large doses. I think SM is going to be similar to it, comedy focused but with an underlying story to tell behind all that.
