The Wait Is Over! Mark Your Calendars

After a nerve-wracking delay, Pokémon Horizons Episode 103 “Burn, Gurumin Love!” (HZ103) officially hits Japanese airwaves on July 18, 2025. This pivotal episode (the 1,335th in the anime’s history) was originally slated for July 11 but faced last-minute scheduling changes by TV Asahi – likely due to sports or news coverage. For fans, this means one extra week of anticipation for Dot’s biggest moment yet!

Inside Episode 103: Collabs, Fangirl Screams & Villain Fails

Thanks to trusted leaks from Japanese entertainment hubs like Oricon News, we’ve got juicy plot details! Here’s what’s going down:

  1. ✨ The Gurumin x Nanjamo Collab Event!
    Dot (aka streamer sensation Gurumin) teams up with the legendary Nanjamo for a high-profile content collab. Think live battles, merch drops, and viral challenges – a huge milestone for Dot’s career!

  2. Liko’s Fangirl Meltdown ❤️
    Gurumin superfan Liko (now a student at Paldea’s Indigo Academy) is overjoyed at the news. Expect adorable squeals, phone-wallpaper refreshes, and maybe even a Meowscarada high-five!

  3. Zir’s Embarrassing Blunder 🎫
    In a twist of fate, Explorers member Zir – who’d planned to infiltrate the event – accidentally loses his entry ticket. Cue facepalms and frantic dumpster-diving! (Could this save the day… or make him more desperate?)

  4. Roy & Ult’s Laqulium Hunt 🔍
    Away from the collab chaos, Roy and Ult (Uruto) investigate wild Pokémon disturbances linked to the mysterious Laqulium substance – with Captain Pikachu and Sableye on the case!

Why Dot’s Spotlight Matters

“Dot represents every kid who found courage online. Her journey from hiding as Nidothing to headlining collabs is revolutionary.”
– Dr. Aya Fujimoto, Anime Character Development Researcher

Dot’s arc is the heart of Horizons. This episode pays off years of growth:

  • 🌱 From Anonymous to Iconic: Her shift from faceless streamer “Nidothing” to confident Gurumin.

  • 💪 Conquering Anxiety: Battling Gym Leader Iono as herself was just the start.

  • ❤️ “Gurumin Love” = Self-Acceptance: The title hints she’s finally embracing all sides of her identity.
