That was an amazing episode. Not just the choreography of the battle, which was excellent. But the little things like Ash telling Shota to watch his battle and Ash looking at Shota when the battle wasn't going his way. They're really making Shota look like a good rival for Ash. I love Ash's voice actress, you could hear the desperation in his voice during this episode. You can tell, he really didn't want to lose in front of Shota. Also, the music that was playing after he lost played after Serena lost in episode 60 when she cut her hair. Fantastic episode and one of my favorite gym battles.
