Zir being a Gurumin fan was foreshadowed!
I was recently rewatching all Pokémon Horizons episodes and I just noticed something interesting! I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, maybe they have, but I wanna make my own post just in case. As we all know from Episode 27 of Pokémon Horizons, it was revealed that Zir (or Zirc in English) watches Gurumin.
I didn’t look that deep into it until recently. What I didn’t realize is that this was foreshadowed way earlier. In Episode 8, we see a little more of Dot—and her internet persona, Gurumin. She decides to do a livestream answering some questions, and we get a very peculiar question from someone with an interesting handle.
“Muscles_of_a_Saidon”, huh? Now, as we all know, Zir is very muscular in his build, and he has a Saidon (Rhydon in English). Surely that’s not a coincidence.
However, if you don’t believe me and think the evidence is too flimsy for it to be true, then I’m happy to tell you there’s more! Gurumin reads the question.
That’s right, this is word-for-word what happened during Episode 5.
That’s way too specific to be a coincidence, wouldn’t you say? I’m just super glad that we get some fun foreshadowing in Horizons. I wonder what other fun mysteries they left for us to discover way later.

Eddie, shoving his phone into Steve’s face: Stevie, baby. What’s the wildest thing you’ve done for love?
Steve: Uh… I ditched my childhood best friends for a girl that cheated on me.
Eddie: Was kinda hoping you’d say something about our relationsh- Wait. Steve, you fought a monster. You literally rescued your girlfriend from a monster.
Steve, no big deal: I mean…yeah. I guess. Everybody does that.

Remember how Izuku took the name Katsuki gave him as his hero name at the front of the story and then Katsuki introduced himself to AFO (and the world tbh) using the name Izuku gave him towards the end of it
Remember how they mirror each other and it’s incredible

it is hard to explain without sounding vain or stupid - but the more attractive others find you, the more you're allowed to do. the easier your life is.
i have been on both sides of this. i am queer and cuban. i grew up poor. for a long time i didn't know "how" to dress - and i still don't. i make my sister pick out any important outfits. i have adhd in spades: i was never "cool and quiet", i was the weird kid who didn't understand how "normal" people behave. i was bullied so hard that the "social outcasts" wouldn't even talk to me.
i got my teeth straightened. i cut my hair and learned how to style it. i got into makeup. it didn't matter, at first, if i actually liked what i was doing - it mattered how people responded to it. like a magic trick; the right dress and winged eyeliner and suddenly i was no longer too weird for all of it. i could wear the ugly pokemon shirt and it was just "ironic" or a "cute interest."
when i am seen as pretty, people listen. they laugh at my jokes. they allow me to be weird and a little spacey. i can trust that if i need something, people will generally help me. privilege suddenly rushes in: pretty does buy things. pretty people get treated more gently.
i am the same ugly little girl, is the thing. still odd. still not-quite-fitting-in. still scrambling. still angry and afraid and full of bad things. of course it became my obsession. of course i stopped eating. i had seen, in real time, the exact way it could change my life - simply always be perfect, and things can be easy. people will "overlook" all the other things. i used to have panic attacks at the idea others would see me without makeup - what would they think? even for a simple friend hangout, i'd spend a few hours getting ready. after all, it seemed so obvious to me: these people liked me because i was pretty.
i worry about how much i'm being a bad activist: i understand that "pretty" is determined by white, het, cis, able-bodied hegemonies. if i was really an ally, wouldn't i rally against all of this? recently there's been a "clean girl" trend which copies latinx aesthetics: dark slicked-back hair, hoop earrings. i almost never wear my hair like that; i can hear the middle school guidance counsellor advising me that i might fare better if i toned it down on the culture.
the problem is that i can take pretty on and off. that i have seen how different my life is on a day where i try and a day where i don't. i told my therapist i want to believe the difference is confidence, but it's not. and when you have seen it, you can't unsee it. it lives inside your brain. it rots there; taunting. i get rewarded for following the rules. i am punished for breaking them. end of story.
pretty people can get what they want. pretty people can feel confident without others asking where they got their nerve from. pretty people can be weird and different. pretty people get to have emotions; it's different when they get aggressive, it's pretty when they cry with frustration.
of course people care about this. of course it has crawled into you. of course you want to be seen as attractive. it's not vanity: it's self-preservation.
