Apparently, the manga was even darker. In the manga, Faba was actually behind everything, as he was the one who pushed Mohn into the wormhole because he was lusting after Lusamine and wanted her for himself. When she continued to reject his advances, he further pushed her into insanity and tried to destroy her family purely out of spite.

[@mettatonex7221]

As creepy as Lusamine herself is, I think the Ultra Beast that has been at the center of the story for most of the game is even creepier; Nihilego. After reading Pokedex entries on this thing and getting an understanding of what it's about, Nihilego... legitimately terrifies me. It's known to latch onto humans and Pokemon, then inject them with a special neurotoxin that deactivates inhibitions and puts them in a state of heightened excitement in order to bring out latent potential in the host, which normally takes the form of them becoming more violent. While searching for her husband, Lusamine found Nihilego in Ultra Space, and it did its thing to Lusamine which is what caused her to go insane. Her obsession shifted from finding her husband to Nihilego itself, and explains part of her controlling behavior to her children. When Lillie and Nihilego were first revealed, a lot of us were convinced that Lillie was Nihilego in disguise, but the truth ended up being more tragic; Lusamine forces Lillie to dress up in a way that resembles Nihilego because that's what's important to her now. Her caring for injured or endangered Pokemon also shifted to eternal preservation via freezing, and overall a woman in a position of authority became a deranged lunatic obsessed with otherworldly forces, which really does make for a really dangerous antagonist. All this because of a jellyfish made of glass. And it's not even supposed to be the most dangerous of the Ultra Beasts.

[@that_dwayneee]

Ima guess naganadel, being the only ultra beast species which evolves (apparently buzzwole and pheremosa do a similar thing but they’re the same Pokemon rather than evolutions of each other), is the most powerful one?

[@mettatonex7221]

@@that_dwayneee I don't actually consider Naganadel all that dangerous compared to the other beasts. In fact, canonically that family is a popular species of Pokemon in whatever world it hales from. If I had to judge them based on what the lore says about them, Guzzlord is easily the most dangerous. It eats absolutely everything in sight and has an insatiable apetite. Look at what it did in its home world; that thing will bring about the apocalypse if nobody catches it here.

I feel like the game lusamine and the anime lusamine are entierly different people. In th games, she's incredibly psychotic. however, she is seen as very sweet and loving in the anime, regretting not being able to spend much time with here children. the difference between these characters make me think that there is no way they had the same story

[@cassie6146]

I think the anime chose to deviate from Lusamine's game counterpart because the Sun and Moon anime was skewed more towards younger viewers. The writers probably thought giving one of its main characters an abusive parent who has frozen Pokemon bodies on display would be too upsetting for its demographic, so they altered her character to be a flawed but still loving parent at the cost of Lusamine losing her villainous edge.

Even in terms of games, vanilla Sun & Moon Lusamine and Ultra Lusamine are two very different characters.

1. Nihilego infused with Lusamine would have been a epic battle 2. It's interesting that she was evil in Ultra Sun and Moon as well but we never got to see her ultra beast form in that game due to Necrozma. Guess Necrozma was a big factor to make her afraid.

[@JShortsFR]

I think that all of what you said is what makes Ultra Sun more scary. Spoilers: In Ultra Sun, for the most part the story is the same and Lusamine is just as threatening, however in the final scene where you’re about to head into Ultra Space to chase her, a portal opens up and she and Guzma falls out. Lusamine then shouts at her kid to run as Necrozma appears behind them, giving us a clear idea that what we are facing is beyond even Lusamine’s capabilities. It’s wild man.

I think Giovanni in Ultra sun and moon can be like emperor palpitatine even if Lusamine's character is different in that story.

i was a kid when i first played gen 7 this boss fight gave me nightmares

[@espeond6704]

Lusmine's pants being white at the front and black at the back was peak character design

[@Circuit-zb3mm]

Pretty sure there was a line for an Ather foundation member in post game that does mention the frozen Pokemon in the post game.

[@Shinotheblackcat]

2:33-2:34 anyone else see the meme

[@erkoscabbe7663]

I think that the darker squares in lusamine’s laboratory are cells for other frozen Pokémon

[@sonikdahedgehog9728]

No in Pikachu valley you see the pokemon in the story just hanging out

[@djimonmcdonald9085]

Base game not ultra

[@primarinegaming6761]

That’s the ultra games which are an alternate universe

[@GarryDKing]

I really wish the ultra games didn't backtrack Lusamine's character from super evil to just misunderstood mom...i love her character but the villain nerfing is kinda as annoying as not being able to fight her fused form! then again considering the alternative that scarlet and violet shown in what'd happen if you let the villain go full insane without being stopped....

[@ai1410]

I honestly can't wait for gen 7 remakes, hopefully by then Gamefreak will make better games. Gen 7 was probably my favorite, but it definitely needs streamlining, even the ultra versions.

[@ShotgunLlama]

Still reeling from the cocktease of a monstrous human pokemon fusion of a final boss that we never actually get to battle. Players have been messing with that idea in rumors and rom hacks since probably Gen I. Closest we ever got were the studio enemies in BW2

[@linkach8898]

First I were like: Wait wth is that I do not remember fighting something that creapy but then I were like: Wait I only played ultra sun and moon

[@rcecrfrcr8368]

As someone who only watched the anime I had toaylly no idea what was in the in-game lore

[@zephyrman3394]

if we ever get gen7 remakes in the future we should fight her instead of her pokemon

[@Verdantcastle]

The animae made her a wholesome mother

[@sampletext5959]

Nihilego scared me in my teenage years and it scares me today. Such a creepy concept.

[@sebastianfernandez6146]

Sun and moon had the best story in recent memory for Pokémon. Wayyy better than sword and shield fr

[@ink3487]

Lusamines worst crime was trying to bring back Gen 1 permanent freeze

[@fetchernwah]

Honestly her beast form terrified me the first time I saw it-

[@Psusanoo]

Lysandere would approve the "preservation" of they beauty of pokemon.

[@02protoman]

Remember , no bro never, too traumatized

[@birdo_is_here]

“teleported elsewhere and memories erased” wait a minute

[@Camoroy0400]

While in the anime universe, Lusamine acts like childish mother.

[@justanormieweeb]

They didn't did justice to her character in anime 😭 But infact it's even better

[@Christian-gr3gu]

Im still sad we didnt get to fight her and just her pokemon

[@Markis2bi4]

Did Lusamine ever reunite with her husband? Did her husband ever regain his memories?

[@decrayre.22]

yes on pokemon journeys

[@trulyplasmatic]

and then there's just the anime where she's just embarrassing, funny, gets fused with nihelego once, and then falls asleep
