Huh, so Jesus was crucified in the pokemon universe. I wonder if one helped the Romans do it.

Her grip doesn't look quite right, maybe the symbol was swapped for the US market.

The Bulbapedia page lists regional changes and censorings, but says nothing about the crucifix not being original.

As a side note, the plot summary section is worth a read, holy hell. “…After leaving Acapulco”, “…After being shot with a bazooka by Jessie…”

I think I don’t remember this episode because it’s overshadowed in my memory by the very next episode, Bye Bye, Butterfree.

The first season of Pokemon was a trip, it was before they decided to retcon it so that guns and gambling don't exist, you could do anything. In the episode before this one, Tentacruel does some straight up eco terrorism!

I haven't seen Pokémon in like a decade and I am not even that big of a fan but I immediately remember which episode is bye bye butterfree.
