>>35006301>How?I'm not saying it was short compared to other villian arcs in the anime.
So much more could have been done and it could have been handled better, for example not adding Kiawe, Fat fuck, Lana and Mallow (they REALLY ruined the mood). It's just that pretty much everything (or at least everything relevant) happened so fast, sure the Lusamine fight lasted like 3-4 episodes, but most of that time was dealing with the fodder friends shit, to the point where the main attraccion, Ash vs Lusamine just kinda happened.
>foreshadowed as early as episode 8.I'm pretty sure whatever they were thinking at that point got quickly shafted by USUM's retconning of Lusamine's personality.
