Synopsis:

This anime delves into the origins of Mewtwo, charting its existence prior to the events of the latest film. The narrative explores Mewtwo’s creation within a clandestine laboratory and the initial experiments conducted to understand and weaponize its extraordinary abilities. Witness the development of this powerful Pokémon as it grapples with its identity and purpose in a world that fears and misunderstands it.

The series unfolds in a stark, isolated environment, emphasizing themes of artificial life, existentialism, and the consequences of unchecked scientific ambition. It examines Mewtwo’s internal struggle for self-determination and the profound impact of its unparalleled power on the Pokémon world. Expect a character-driven story that prioritizes philosophical exploration over action, offering a nuanced perspective on a legendary creature's journey to becoming the strongest.
