Mewtwo is a Pokémon, a fictional creature from Nintendo and Game Freak. Created by Ken Sugimori, it debuted in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, and later appeared in subsequent sequels and spin-off titles, such as Pokken Tournament. In the video games, the player can fight and capture Mewtwo in order to subsequently pit it against other Pokémon. The player first learns of Mewtwo late in Pokémon Red and Blue by reading research documents left in a ruined laboratory on Cinnabar Island. Mewtwo is regarded as one of the series’ strongest Pokémon, and was the strongest in the original games in terms of base statistic distribution. It is known as the «Genetic Pokémon»[3] and is a Legendary Pokémon, a special group of Pokémon that are very rare and usually very powerful.[4] Mewtwo has also appeared in various animated adaptations of the franchise.

Masachika Ichimura was the first to voice the original Mewtwo character in Japanese, and the creature’s younger self is voiced by Fujiko Takimoto in the Sound Picture Box: Mewtwo’s Origin CD drama and Showtaro Morikubo in the anime adaptation. In English, Jay Goede voiced Mewtwo in Pokémon: The First Movie (being credited under the pseudonym «Philip Bartlett»[5]) and the Pokémon Live! musical, while Dan Green provided the voice for The First Movies direct sequel, Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns.[6][7] Green reprised the role in the 2019 remake of the first Pokémon movie, Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution.

Actress Reiko Takashima voiced a second, unrelated Mewtwo in the Pokémon anime special Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening and its direct sequel, Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened; this second Mewtwo is voiced by actress Miriam Pultro in the English dub. Mewtwo has featured in other game franchises, such as Super Smash Bros. series, in which Ichimura reprised in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Keiji Fujiwara in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. A third Mewtwo also appears in the 2019 live-action animated film Detective Pikachu, voiced simultaneously by Rina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe.

Design and characteristics[edit]

Japanese video game designer Ken Sugimori designed Mewtwo for the first generation of Pocket Monsters games, Red and Green, known outside Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue.[8] In the games, Mewtwo is the result of genetic recombination of Mew’s DNA that was born from Mew similar to real life clones. While most Pokémon are hatched from eggs, Mewtwo is the only Pokémon that was born.[9] In the anime adaptation, however, it is instead a modified clone whose name means the «second Mew» that, instead of being born from a Mew like in the games, it was created in a tube with the DNA sample being from a Mew eyelash.[10] Until the first Pokémon movie was released in the United States, Mewtwo was rarely referred to as a «clone» in Japanese sources. Kubo Masakazu, executive producer of Mewtwo Strikes Back, explained that they «intentionally avoid using the term ‘kuron’ [clone]… because the word has a frightening feel».[11]

Despite being Mew’s descendant, Mewtwo directly precedes Mew in the game’s numerical Pokémon index, owing to the latter’s secret inclusion by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto.[12] During an interview, Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara stated that Mewtwo was expected to be popular with North American audiences, citing their preference for strong, powerful characters.[13]

In the original games, Mewtwo is intended to be «the strongest Pokémon ever».[14] Due to genetic engineering being applied to a sample of Mew’s DNA in order to fully create Mewtwo’s genome, Mewtwo is an extremely powerful psychic, yet its abilities surpass Mew’s due to intentional alterations to the genetic source material. As such, it can use telekinesis for flight,[15] to shield itself, or to powerfully throw opponents aside.[16] In addition, it is among the very few Pokémon capable of human speech, doing so via telepathy, alongside Zekrom, Reshiram, Zygarde, the Ultra Beast Naganadel, Xerneas, Diancie, Calyrex and Arceus.[17] Otherwise, it conserves its energy until needed, such as against powerful opponents. In addition to its psychic abilities, Mewtwo can also regenerate, which allows it to quickly recover from near-fatal injuries.[18] However, Mewtwo notably lacks Mew’s ability to learn every single teachable move within the games.

Although Mewtwo’s genome is almost identical to Mew’s, the genetic engineering used to complete its creation nevertheless resulted in Mewtwo’s appearance being very different in comparison to Mew’s.[19] It appears as a bipedal feline that is 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) tall[14] and has a light gray physique with a pronounced and girthy purple tail and abdomen, voluptuous thighs, purple irises, bulbous fingertips, toned chest, crest-like pinnae, and a tube-like mass of flesh that connects from behind its head to the center of its upper back. Its appearance has been likened to «an over sized cross of cat, squirrel and kangaroo».[20]

Although its modified genome resulted in its abilities surpassing Mew’s, it also resulted in Mewtwo developing a vicious personality[21][22] that is primarily interested in proving its own strength.[23][24] The franchise’s non-video game media, particularly the anime, has expanded upon the character. In the most notable instance, Mewtwo telepathically speaks with a male voice and is existentially torn over its purpose in the world.[25][26]

For the sixth and seventh generations of the Pokemon video game series, Mewtwo has two Mega Evolved forms, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y. These can be activated if the player gives Mewtwo either the Mewtwonite X or the Mewtwonite Y.[27]

Appearances[edit]

In video games[edit]

In Pokémon Red and Blue, the player learns of Mewtwo’s existence by reading research notes left in the ruined Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. The notes say that the island’s scientists discovered a new Pokémon in a Guyana jungle, that they named it Mew, and that it later gave birth to a creature they called Mewtwo; the game’s Pokédex entry states that Mewtwo was «created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments».[19][28] Mewtwo proved too mighty to control, destroying the laboratory and escaping. The player is later given an opportunity to capture Mewtwo in the Cerulean Cave, which is accessible only after defeating the game’s final bosses, the Elite Four and Blue;[29] in the remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen this prerequisite was expanded, requiring the player to explore more thoroughly and record information on sixty Pokémon species before access to the cave would be granted.[30] Mewtwo can be caught in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver in the same location as before after defeating all of the gym leaders in Kanto. The character was also the focus of a promotion and downloadable content giveaway for Pokémon Black and White. It was also said to be under a truck in one of the cities, though this was revealed to be a hoax.[31] Mewtwo also reappears in Pokémon X and Y after completing the main story, and is one of the handful of Pokémon capable of using the new Mega Evolution mechanic, as it can transform into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.[32][33]

Since its debut, Mewtwo has appeared in other Nintendo games, besides appearing in every Pokémon game. In Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Pinball, Mewtwo appears as a final boss after all competitions have been completed.[34][35] In Pokémon Puzzle League, Mewtwo serves not only as the final opponent, but also as the main antagonist responsible for the game’s events.[36] Other games, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, have featured Mewtwo as an unlockable player character that must be defeated before it may be used,[37][38] while others like Pokémon Snap have featured the character in cameos, appearing once certain conditions have been met.[39] For all appearances in which the character has spoken dialogue, Mewtwo is voiced by Masachika Ichimura, with the exception of Pokémon Puzzle League, where it is voiced by Philip Bartlett,[6] and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Ultimate, where it is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.[40] After failing to make a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mewtwo returned to the series as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on April 28, 2015, though it was made available to Club Nintendo members who registered both versions on April 15, 2015. In 3DS and Wii U, its Final Smash involves it Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y and using Psystrike, its signature move in the Pokémon games.[41] Mewtwo also returned as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch, where it is once again an unlockable character.[42] A new form of Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, appears as a boss character in Pokkén Tournament[43] and has a special attack that involves it Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo X. In addition, its normal form appears as a playable character.[44] In the augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go, a different variation of Mewtwo’s armored appearance from Pokémon: The First Movie was available for a limited time in Tier 5 Raids in July 2019.[45][46][47] Mewtwo also appears as a usable Pokémon in Pokémon Masters as the partner of Giovanni, who first became playable in the first Legendary Event, “Lurking Shadow”. During the first part of the Villain Arc story with Team Rocket, “Looming Shadow of Kanto”, the player could obtain Giovanni Legendary Spirit to raise the rarity of Giovanni to 6-Star EX if the player also used all 20 Power-Ups for Giovanni, which gives it a power boost and makes his Sync Move target all opponents instead of one, and then in the second part of the arc, “Spreading Shadow”, the player could obtain Mewtwo Crystals to allow Giovanni’s Mewtwo to evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y, which makes it even stronger and replaces the move Confusion with Psystrike until the end of the battle.

In anime and related media[edit]

Mewtwo is featured in the film Pokémon: The First Movie as the main antagonist. Unlike in the games, it is shown to be the creation of the criminal organization Team Rocket, and is referred to as a clone instead of a genetically modified mammal. After Mewtwo destroys the laboratory where it was born, Team Rocket’s leader, Giovanni, convinces Mewtwo he can help it control its powers, instead using Mewtwo as a weapon. After escaping Giovanni, Mewtwo questions the reason for its existence and declares revenge on its creators. To this end, it lures several Pokémon trainers, among them protagonist Ash Ketchum, to its island in order to clone their Pokémon. Once it does so, Mewtwo forces the originals to battle their clones in an effort to determine which set is superior, while Mewtwo faces its own genetic relative, Mew. Ash sacrifices himself to stop the fighting, though he is later revived from tears shed by both the originals and clones because of his sacrifice.

Mewtwo, upon acknowledging the selflessness of Ash’s sacrifice, comes to the conclusion that one’s actions determine who they are and not the circumstances of their birth. Soon after having this epiphany, Mewtwo and the clones are joined by Mew as they leave to find a sanctuary, with Mewtwo erasing all memory of the events from those gathered.[48] In localizing the film for English-language audiences, Mewtwo’s personality became more arrogant and megalomaniacal; localization director Norman Grossfield ruled the changes necessary, as he believed American audiences needed a «clearly evil» instead of ambiguous villain.[49] In the film, Mewtwo is voiced by Jay Goede (credited as Philip Bartlett) in English, and by Ichimura in Japanese.[6] In this film, Mewtwo displayed unique abilities and powers unseen in other Pokémon, such as blocking all Pokémon moves in his arena when the clones face off against the originals.

In September 1999, Nintendo published Sound Picture Box Mewtwo, which included The Birth of Mewtwo: Pokémon Radio Drama, a CD drama that expands upon Mewtwo’s origins. Created by scientist Dr. Fuji, Mewtwo is one of several cloning attempts, which also include Amber, a clone of Fuji’s deceased daughter. The young Mewtwo befriends Amber, communicating telepathically; however, the cloning process proves unstable, and she dies. To save the traumatized Mewtwo, Fuji erases its memories and puts it under sedation until its body finishes developing, leading to the events of the film. The CD drama was later adapted into a short anime, and was included with Japanese home releases and broadcasts of Mewtwo Strikes Back and later in North America in December 2001 as part of Mewtwo Returns. Mewtwo as a child is voiced in Japanese by Fujiko Takimoto for the CD drama and Showtaro Morikubo for the anime, while in the English localization the voice actor is uncredited.[48][50][51]

In December 2000, the film was followed by a direct sequel, Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns, which was broadcast on Japanese television in December 2000 and released worldwide on home video and DVD in 2001. Voiced by Dan Green in English with Ichimura reprising the role in Japanese, Mewtwo and the clones have since found peace on Mount Quena in Johto, a region which directly neighbors Mewtwo’s home region of Kanto. However, Giovanni, whose memories were left intact after the first film, locates and pursues Mewtwo. Assisted by Ash and his companions, Mewtwo comes to terms with its existence and defeats Giovanni, removing any memory of itself from his and his soldiers’ minds, while leaving the others unaffected. As everyone departs, Mewtwo sets out on its own while the clones remain safely behind on Mount Quena.[50]

Mewtwo also appears in the musical Pokémon Live!, a live action adaptation of the anime set after Pokémon: The First Movie, and is portrayed by Marton Fulop. In it, Mewtwo faces a robotic replica of itself, MechaMew2, created by Giovanni and able to learn any attacks used against it. However, after learning compassion from Mewtwo, the machine rebels and self-destructs.[52] The 2006 television special Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon features a hologram version of Mewtwo, created and controlled by the story’s antagonist Dr. Yung. With help from a hologram Mew, Ash and his companions destroy the Mewtwo hologram and defeat Yung.[53]

Another Mewtwo appears in the anime special Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening and its direct sequel Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, voiced by the actress Reiko Takashima. Compared to the original Mewtwo, this one is also conflicted about its existence, yet is more empathic to the point of not being belligerent toward humans, as shown when it protects Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric from the rampaging Genesect army. Unlike the original Mewtwo, this one is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y; due to Mega Evolution not being fully introduced at the time, it is referred to in the film as Mewtwo’s «Awakened Form» (覚醒した姿, Kakusei-shita Sugata).[54]

A Mewtwo, which was created by Mr. Fuji, appears in the anime miniseries Pokémon Origins, which is generally based on the plot of the video games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.[55] As such, Red goes to Cerulean Cave, and uses the Mega Evolution mechanic introduced in Pokémon X and Y to Mega Evolve his Charizard for the fight with Mewtwo, whom Red captures.[56]

Mewtwo made its live-action animated debut in the 2019 movie Detective Pikachu.[57] Mewtwo also appears in the film Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a remake of Pokémon: The First Movie, that premiered on July 12, 2019.[58]

Mewtwo from the first film appears in Pokémon Journeys episode «Getting More Than You Battled For!». Mewtwo protects several Pokémon that had been abused by humans on Cero Island since its departure from Mount Quena. Ash recognizes Mewtwo while Goh meets it for the first time after they were saved from the waterfall. After defeating Ash and Goh in a battle, Mewtwo decides to leave Cero Island with the rescued Pokémon and teleports them back to the Cerise Laboratory, allowing them to retain their memories of the encounter.[59]

In printed adaptations[edit]

Mewtwo has appeared as a central character in several books related to the Pokémon franchise, including novelizations of Mewtwo Strikes Back and Mewtwo Returns, both of which closely follow the events of the films.[60][61][62] In December 1999, Viz Media published the children’s picture book I’m Not Pikachu!: Pokémon Tales Movie Special, which featured children taking on traits of the characters from the film, including Mewtwo.[63] In May 2001, Viz released a second children’s book, Mewtwo’s Watching You!, which featured a shy Mewtwo interestedly watching other Pokémon play.[64]

In the manga series Pokémon Adventures, Team Rocket created Mewtwo, but some of its DNA is placed inside the Gym leader Blaine. Because of the DNA that they share, the two are unable to be separated for very long without becoming ill.[65] Later, another Pokémon, Entei, is able to break the bond between the two by removing the DNA in Blaine’s arm, at which point Mewtwo leaves. It eventually helps the main character of the series, Red, fight against Team Rocket leader Giovanni and his Deoxys.[66]

In 1998, Toshihiro Ono was asked to write a story detailing Mewtwo’s origin to coincide with the release of Pokémon: The First Movie.[67] The 52-page comic, presented in the form of a flashback,[68] was replaced midway by «The Birth of Mewtwo» animated short, resulting in little connection between Ono’s work and the film.[67] Regardless, it saw print as a side story for Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu in the July 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic. In it, Mewtwo’s creator Dr. Fuji takes on the role of a coach for the fully developed Pokémon, while his employers, Team Rocket, test its abilities. Learning of a plan to mass-produce it as a weapon, Fuji approaches Mewtwo and tells it to destroy the lab and Fuji himself. Mewtwo refuses, stating it cannot harm the doctor, who it regards as its father. Once captured by Team Rocket, Fuji tells Mewtwo that he is honored by the statement, and is then killed. Angered by his death, Mewtwo destroys the lab and escapes. In the present, Mewtwo cries in its sleep as it dreams of the events.[68]

Reception[edit]

In the games, Mewtwo is consistently noted as being one of the strongest opponents, and has been described in Pokémon Red and Blue as being «the best Pokémon in the game»,[69][70] as well as «one of the rarest — and hardest to catch».[71] Because of the character’s multiple strengths and few weaknesses, it changes how players approach playing against each other, causing players to either develop strategies solely to defeat an opposing Mewtwo,[72][73][74] or to prohibit its use when battling other players.[75] IGNs staff bemoaned its exclusion from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[76] A poll by IGN on whether the character was missed by others in Brawl shared a similar sentiment,[77] though they also described it as one of Super Smash Bros. Melees weakest characters.[37] Professional Super Smash Bros. player Jason «Mew2King» Zimmerman takes his handle from Mewtwo, although he uses other characters in competition.[78] Authors Tracey West and Katherine Noll called Mewtwo the fifth best Legendary Pokémon and the sixth best Pokémon overall.[79] Jeremy Parish of Polygon ranked 73 fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate «from garbage to glorious», listing Mewtwo as 40th and criticized.[80] Kevin Slackie of Paste listed Mewtwo as one of the best Pokemon, and further stated Mewtwo has managed to stay relevant for over 20 years without the same exposure as Pikachu, which itself is a testament to its amazing staying power as one of the most powerful Pokémon.[81] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek ranked Mewtwo as 35th of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters, and calling Mewtwo as a Akuma of Pokémon.[82] Mewtwo was ranked second in Complexs «The 50 Best Pokemon Up to Pokemon Crystal», with Elijah Watson saying «that Mewtwo actually exists somewhere on this planet, maybe it’ll see its position on our list and spare us.»[83] IGN readers voted Mewtwo as the second-best pocket monster, receiving 86% of win percentage.[84] Dale Bishir of IGN described Mewtwo as the most important Pokémon that impacted the franchise’s history, and further stated that his prominence is seen all over the franchise, with him having two mega evolutions, his major role in the Detective Pikachu, being a playable character in Super Smash Bros., and even having two animated movies about him.[85] Steven Bogos of The Escapist listed Mewtwo as fourth of their favorite Pokémon, describing it as undoubtedly the most powerful Pokémon of the original games.[86]

The book Pikachu’s Global Adventure: The Rise and Fall of Pokémon noted Mewtwo as popular with older male children who tend to be drawn to «tough or scary» characters; Mew in contrast was described as a polar opposite, a character popular with young girls who tend to be drawn to «cute» characters.[87] Others books, such as Media and the Make-believe Worlds of Children, have noted a similar comparison, citing Mewtwo as «more aggressive-looking» compared to Mew and emphasizing the importance of the contrast for children.[88] The book Gaming Cultures and Place in Asia-Pacific compares Sugimori’s design of Mewtwo to that of Japanese tokusatsu films, namely monster films like the 1954 Godzilla in creating «monstrous yet familiar silhouettes from the past renewed agency in the form of eyes and expressions which cut through the viewer».[75]

In reception to extended media for the Pokémon franchise, Mewtwo has been likened to Frankenstein’s monster as a being born from artificial means and discontent with the fact.[89][90] Theology Secretary for the Church of England Anne Richards described Mewtwo as representing a «parable about the pointlessness of force», and praised the character for displaying the Christian value of redemption.[91] Other reactions have been mixed. While it has been cited as a «complex and compelling villain» by some critics,[92] its goal of world domination was received as a trait shared by «…every anime villain…»,[89] and likened to a James Bond villain by Daily Record.[93]

However, Animerica praised Mewtwo as a character with «philosophical depth» as well as for serving as «an adversary of almost infinite power and genuine malice» that the anime series had been lacking.[94] Ken Hollings of Sight & Sound described Mewtwo as «brooding, articulate and vengeful where the other Pokémon remain bright blobs of wordless energy», and «Like a troubled elder brother, Mewtwo represents an older order of experience.»[95] Anime Classics Zettai!: 100 Must-See Japanese Animation Masterpieces praised the character as the best villain of the Pokémon film series, and one of Mewtwo Strikes Backs strongest elements.[96] The Los Angeles Times cited its behavior as a point of humor in relation to its appearance as a «decidedly feline character.»[97]

Mewtwo’s image is utilized for merchandise related to the Pokémon franchise, which includes toys, children’s toothbrushes,[98] and a playing piece for a Pokémon-themed version of Monopoly.[99] Several action figures have been made, such as a posable figure by Hasbro in 2006 that included accessories to recreate its «Hyper Beam» and «Light Screen» attacks, and a six-inch-tall «talking» figurine by Jakks Pacific as part of a series to commemorate the anime’s Battle Frontier story arc.[100] Items marketed for adults featuring Mewtwo have also been sold and distributed by Nintendo, such as T-shirts.[101] The island nation of Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring the character as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on one side and the nation’s coat of arms on the other.[102] Mewtwo also appears on the port side of All Nippon Airways’s Pocket Monsters Boeing 747 jumbo jet, alongside Mew.[103][104]

Mewtwo is a Pokémon, a fictional creature from Nintendo and Game Freak. Created by Ken Sugimori, it debuted in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, and later appeared in subsequent sequels and spin-off titles, such as Pokken Tournament. In the video games, the player can fight and capture Mewtwo in order to subsequently pit it against other Pokémon. The player first learns of Mewtwo late in Pokémon Red and Blue by reading research documents left in a ruined laboratory on Cinnabar Island. Mewtwo is regarded as one of the series’ strongest Pokémon, and was the strongest in the original games in terms of base statistic distribution. It is known as the «Genetic Pokémon»[3] and is a Legendary Pokémon, a special group of Pokémon that are very rare and usually very powerful.[4] Mewtwo has also appeared in various animated adaptations of the franchise.

Masachika Ichimura was the first to voice the original Mewtwo character in Japanese, and the creature’s younger self is voiced by Fujiko Takimoto in the Sound Picture Box: Mewtwo’s Origin CD drama and Showtaro Morikubo in the anime adaptation. In English, Jay Goede voiced Mewtwo in Pokémon: The First Movie (being credited under the pseudonym «Philip Bartlett»[5]) and the Pokémon Live! musical, while Dan Green provided the voice for The First Movies direct sequel, Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns.[6][7] Green reprised the role in the 2019 remake of the first Pokémon movie, Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution.

Actress Reiko Takashima voiced a second, unrelated Mewtwo in the Pokémon anime special Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening and its direct sequel, Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened; this second Mewtwo is voiced by actress Miriam Pultro in the English dub. Mewtwo has featured in other game franchises, such as Super Smash Bros. series, in which Ichimura reprised in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Keiji Fujiwara in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. A third Mewtwo also appears in the 2019 live-action animated film Detective Pikachu, voiced simultaneously by Rina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe.

Design and characteristics[edit]

Japanese video game designer Ken Sugimori designed Mewtwo for the first generation of Pocket Monsters games, Red and Green, known outside Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue.[8] In the games, Mewtwo is the result of genetic recombination of Mew’s DNA that was born from Mew similar to real life clones. While most Pokémon are hatched from eggs, Mewtwo is the only Pokémon that was born.[9] In the anime adaptation, however, it is instead a modified clone whose name means the «second Mew» that, instead of being born from a Mew like in the games, it was created in a tube with the DNA sample being from a Mew eyelash.[10] Until the first Pokémon movie was released in the United States, Mewtwo was rarely referred to as a «clone» in Japanese sources. Kubo Masakazu, executive producer of Mewtwo Strikes Back, explained that they «intentionally avoid using the term ‘kuron’ [clone]… because the word has a frightening feel».[11]

Despite being Mew’s descendant, Mewtwo directly precedes Mew in the game’s numerical Pokémon index, owing to the latter’s secret inclusion by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto.[12] During an interview, Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara stated that Mewtwo was expected to be popular with North American audiences, citing their preference for strong, powerful characters.[13]

In the original games, Mewtwo is intended to be «the strongest Pokémon ever».[14] Due to genetic engineering being applied to a sample of Mew’s DNA in order to fully create Mewtwo’s genome, Mewtwo is an extremely powerful psychic, yet its abilities surpass Mew’s due to intentional alterations to the genetic source material. As such, it can use telekinesis for flight,[15] to shield itself, or to powerfully throw opponents aside.[16] In addition, it is among the very few Pokémon capable of human speech, doing so via telepathy, alongside Zekrom, Reshiram, Zygarde, the Ultra Beast Naganadel, Xerneas, Diancie, Calyrex and Arceus.[17] Otherwise, it conserves its energy until needed, such as against powerful opponents. In addition to its psychic abilities, Mewtwo can also regenerate, which allows it to quickly recover from near-fatal injuries.[18] However, Mewtwo notably lacks Mew’s ability to learn every single teachable move within the games.

Although Mewtwo’s genome is almost identical to Mew’s, the genetic engineering used to complete its creation nevertheless resulted in Mewtwo’s appearance being very different in comparison to Mew’s.[19] It appears as a bipedal feline that is 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) tall[14] and has a light gray physique with a pronounced and girthy purple tail and abdomen, voluptuous thighs, purple irises, bulbous fingertips, toned chest, crest-like pinnae, and a tube-like mass of flesh that connects from behind its head to the center of its upper back. Its appearance has been likened to «an over sized cross of cat, squirrel and kangaroo».[20]

Although its modified genome resulted in its abilities surpassing Mew’s, it also resulted in Mewtwo developing a vicious personality[21][22] that is primarily interested in proving its own strength.[23][24] The franchise’s non-video game media, particularly the anime, has expanded upon the character. In the most notable instance, Mewtwo telepathically speaks with a male voice and is existentially torn over its purpose in the world.[25][26]

For the sixth and seventh generations of the Pokemon video game series, Mewtwo has two Mega Evolved forms, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y. These can be activated if the player gives Mewtwo either the Mewtwonite X or the Mewtwonite Y.[27]

Appearances[edit]

In video games[edit]

In Pokémon Red and Blue, the player learns of Mewtwo’s existence by reading research notes left in the ruined Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. The notes say that the island’s scientists discovered a new Pokémon in a Guyana jungle, that they named it Mew, and that it later gave birth to a creature they called Mewtwo; the game’s Pokédex entry states that Mewtwo was «created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments».[19][28] Mewtwo proved too mighty to control, destroying the laboratory and escaping. The player is later given an opportunity to capture Mewtwo in the Cerulean Cave, which is accessible only after defeating the game’s final bosses, the Elite Four and Blue;[29] in the remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen this prerequisite was expanded, requiring the player to explore more thoroughly and record information on sixty Pokémon species before access to the cave would be granted.[30] Mewtwo can be caught in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver in the same location as before after defeating all of the gym leaders in Kanto. The character was also the focus of a promotion and downloadable content giveaway for Pokémon Black and White. It was also said to be under a truck in one of the cities, though this was revealed to be a hoax.[31] Mewtwo also reappears in Pokémon X and Y after completing the main story, and is one of the handful of Pokémon capable of using the new Mega Evolution mechanic, as it can transform into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.[32][33]

Since its debut, Mewtwo has appeared in other Nintendo games, besides appearing in every Pokémon game. In Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Pinball, Mewtwo appears as a final boss after all competitions have been completed.[34][35] In Pokémon Puzzle League, Mewtwo serves not only as the final opponent, but also as the main antagonist responsible for the game’s events.[36] Other games, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, have featured Mewtwo as an unlockable player character that must be defeated before it may be used,[37][38] while others like Pokémon Snap have featured the character in cameos, appearing once certain conditions have been met.[39] For all appearances in which the character has spoken dialogue, Mewtwo is voiced by Masachika Ichimura, with the exception of Pokémon Puzzle League, where it is voiced by Philip Bartlett,[6] and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Ultimate, where it is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.[40] After failing to make a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mewtwo returned to the series as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on April 28, 2015, though it was made available to Club Nintendo members who registered both versions on April 15, 2015. In 3DS and Wii U, its Final Smash involves it Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y and using Psystrike, its signature move in the Pokémon games.[41] Mewtwo also returned as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch, where it is once again an unlockable character.[42] A new form of Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, appears as a boss character in Pokkén Tournament[43] and has a special attack that involves it Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo X. In addition, its normal form appears as a playable character.[44] In the augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go, a different variation of Mewtwo’s armored appearance from Pokémon: The First Movie was available for a limited time in Tier 5 Raids in July 2019.[45][46][47] Mewtwo also appears as a usable Pokémon in Pokémon Masters as the partner of Giovanni, who first became playable in the first Legendary Event, “Lurking Shadow”. During the first part of the Villain Arc story with Team Rocket, “Looming Shadow of Kanto”, the player could obtain Giovanni Legendary Spirit to raise the rarity of Giovanni to 6-Star EX if the player also used all 20 Power-Ups for Giovanni, which gives it a power boost and makes his Sync Move target all opponents instead of one, and then in the second part of the arc, “Spreading Shadow”, the player could obtain Mewtwo Crystals to allow Giovanni’s Mewtwo to evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y, which makes it even stronger and replaces the move Confusion with Psystrike until the end of the battle.

In anime and related media[edit]

Mewtwo is featured in the film Pokémon: The First Movie as the main antagonist. Unlike in the games, it is shown to be the creation of the criminal organization Team Rocket, and is referred to as a clone instead of a genetically modified mammal. After Mewtwo destroys the laboratory where it was born, Team Rocket’s leader, Giovanni, convinces Mewtwo he can help it control its powers, instead using Mewtwo as a weapon. After escaping Giovanni, Mewtwo questions the reason for its existence and declares revenge on its creators. To this end, it lures several Pokémon trainers, among them protagonist Ash Ketchum, to its island in order to clone their Pokémon. Once it does so, Mewtwo forces the originals to battle their clones in an effort to determine which set is superior, while Mewtwo faces its own genetic relative, Mew. Ash sacrifices himself to stop the fighting, though he is later revived from tears shed by both the originals and clones because of his sacrifice.

Mewtwo, upon acknowledging the selflessness of Ash’s sacrifice, comes to the conclusion that one’s actions determine who they are and not the circumstances of their birth. Soon after having this epiphany, Mewtwo and the clones are joined by Mew as they leave to find a sanctuary, with Mewtwo erasing all memory of the events from those gathered.[48] In localizing the film for English-language audiences, Mewtwo’s personality became more arrogant and megalomaniacal; localization director Norman Grossfield ruled the changes necessary, as he believed American audiences needed a «clearly evil» instead of ambiguous villain.[49] In the film, Mewtwo is voiced by Jay Goede (credited as Philip Bartlett) in English, and by Ichimura in Japanese.[6] In this film, Mewtwo displayed unique abilities and powers unseen in other Pokémon, such as blocking all Pokémon moves in his arena when the clones face off against the originals.

In September 1999, Nintendo published Sound Picture Box Mewtwo, which included The Birth of Mewtwo: Pokémon Radio Drama, a CD drama that expands upon Mewtwo’s origins. Created by scientist Dr. Fuji, Mewtwo is one of several cloning attempts, which also include Amber, a clone of Fuji’s deceased daughter. The young Mewtwo befriends Amber, communicating telepathically; however, the cloning process proves unstable, and she dies. To save the traumatized Mewtwo, Fuji erases its memories and puts it under sedation until its body finishes developing, leading to the events of the film. The CD drama was later adapted into a short anime, and was included with Japanese home releases and broadcasts of Mewtwo Strikes Back and later in North America in December 2001 as part of Mewtwo Returns. Mewtwo as a child is voiced in Japanese by Fujiko Takimoto for the CD drama and Showtaro Morikubo for the anime, while in the English localization the voice actor is uncredited.[48][50][51]

In December 2000, the film was followed by a direct sequel, Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns, which was broadcast on Japanese television in December 2000 and released worldwide on home video and DVD in 2001. Voiced by Dan Green in English with Ichimura reprising the role in Japanese, Mewtwo and the clones have since found peace on Mount Quena in Johto, a region which directly neighbors Mewtwo’s home region of Kanto. However, Giovanni, whose memories were left intact after the first film, locates and pursues Mewtwo. Assisted by Ash and his companions, Mewtwo comes to terms with its existence and defeats Giovanni, removing any memory of itself from his and his soldiers’ minds, while leaving the others unaffected. As everyone departs, Mewtwo sets out on its own while the clones remain safely behind on Mount Quena.[50]

Mewtwo also appears in the musical Pokémon Live!, a live action adaptation of the anime set after Pokémon: The First Movie, and is portrayed by Marton Fulop. In it, Mewtwo faces a robotic replica of itself, MechaMew2, created by Giovanni and able to learn any attacks used against it. However, after learning compassion from Mewtwo, the machine rebels and self-destructs.[52] The 2006 television special Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon features a hologram version of Mewtwo, created and controlled by the story’s antagonist Dr. Yung. With help from a hologram Mew, Ash and his companions destroy the Mewtwo hologram and defeat Yung.[53]

Another Mewtwo appears in the anime special Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening and its direct sequel Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, voiced by the actress Reiko Takashima. Compared to the original Mewtwo, this one is also conflicted about its existence, yet is more empathic to the point of not being belligerent toward humans, as shown when it protects Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric from the rampaging Genesect army. Unlike the original Mewtwo, this one is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y; due to Mega Evolution not being fully introduced at the time, it is referred to in the film as Mewtwo’s «Awakened Form» (覚醒した姿, Kakusei-shita Sugata).[54]

A Mewtwo, which was created by Mr. Fuji, appears in the anime miniseries Pokémon Origins, which is generally based on the plot of the video games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.[55] As such, Red goes to Cerulean Cave, and uses the Mega Evolution mechanic introduced in Pokémon X and Y to Mega Evolve his Charizard for the fight with Mewtwo, whom Red captures.[56]

Mewtwo made its live-action animated debut in the 2019 movie Detective Pikachu.[57] Mewtwo also appears in the film Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a remake of Pokémon: The First Movie, that premiered on July 12, 2019.[58]

Mewtwo from the first film appears in Pokémon Journeys episode «Getting More Than You Battled For!». Mewtwo protects several Pokémon that had been abused by humans on Cero Island since its departure from Mount Quena. Ash recognizes Mewtwo while Goh meets it for the first time after they were saved from the waterfall. After defeating Ash and Goh in a battle, Mewtwo decides to leave Cero Island with the rescued Pokémon and teleports them back to the Cerise Laboratory, allowing them to retain their memories of the encounter.[59]

In printed adaptations[edit]

Mewtwo has appeared as a central character in several books related to the Pokémon franchise, including novelizations of Mewtwo Strikes Back and Mewtwo Returns, both of which closely follow the events of the films.[60][61][62] In December 1999, Viz Media published the children’s picture book I’m Not Pikachu!: Pokémon Tales Movie Special, which featured children taking on traits of the characters from the film, including Mewtwo.[63] In May 2001, Viz released a second children’s book, Mewtwo’s Watching You!, which featured a shy Mewtwo interestedly watching other Pokémon play.[64]

In the manga series Pokémon Adventures, Team Rocket created Mewtwo, but some of its DNA is placed inside the Gym leader Blaine. Because of the DNA that they share, the two are unable to be separated for very long without becoming ill.[65] Later, another Pokémon, Entei, is able to break the bond between the two by removing the DNA in Blaine’s arm, at which point Mewtwo leaves. It eventually helps the main character of the series, Red, fight against Team Rocket leader Giovanni and his Deoxys.[66]

In 1998, Toshihiro Ono was asked to write a story detailing Mewtwo’s origin to coincide with the release of Pokémon: The First Movie.[67] The 52-page comic, presented in the form of a flashback,[68] was replaced midway by «The Birth of Mewtwo» animated short, resulting in little connection between Ono’s work and the film.[67] Regardless, it saw print as a side story for Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu in the July 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic. In it, Mewtwo’s creator Dr. Fuji takes on the role of a coach for the fully developed Pokémon, while his employers, Team Rocket, test its abilities. Learning of a plan to mass-produce it as a weapon, Fuji approaches Mewtwo and tells it to destroy the lab and Fuji himself. Mewtwo refuses, stating it cannot harm the doctor, who it regards as its father. Once captured by Team Rocket, Fuji tells Mewtwo that he is honored by the statement, and is then killed. Angered by his death, Mewtwo destroys the lab and escapes. In the present, Mewtwo cries in its sleep as it dreams of the events.[68]

Reception[edit]

In the games, Mewtwo is consistently noted as being one of the strongest opponents, and has been described in Pokémon Red and Blue as being «the best Pokémon in the game»,[69][70] as well as «one of the rarest — and hardest to catch».[71] Because of the character’s multiple strengths and few weaknesses, it changes how players approach playing against each other, causing players to either develop strategies solely to defeat an opposing Mewtwo,[72][73][74] or to prohibit its use when battling other players.[75] IGNs staff bemoaned its exclusion from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[76] A poll by IGN on whether the character was missed by others in Brawl shared a similar sentiment,[77] though they also described it as one of Super Smash Bros. Melees weakest characters.[37] Professional Super Smash Bros. player Jason «Mew2King» Zimmerman takes his handle from Mewtwo, although he uses other characters in competition.[78] Authors Tracey West and Katherine Noll called Mewtwo the fifth best Legendary Pokémon and the sixth best Pokémon overall.[79] Jeremy Parish of Polygon ranked 73 fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate «from garbage to glorious», listing Mewtwo as 40th and criticized.[80] Kevin Slackie of Paste listed Mewtwo as one of the best Pokemon, and further stated Mewtwo has managed to stay relevant for over 20 years without the same exposure as Pikachu, which itself is a testament to its amazing staying power as one of the most powerful Pokémon.[81] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek ranked Mewtwo as 35th of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters, and calling Mewtwo as a Akuma of Pokémon.[82] Mewtwo was ranked second in Complexs «The 50 Best Pokemon Up to Pokemon Crystal», with Elijah Watson saying «that Mewtwo actually exists somewhere on this planet, maybe it’ll see its position on our list and spare us.»[83] IGN readers voted Mewtwo as the second-best pocket monster, receiving 86% of win percentage.[84] Dale Bishir of IGN described Mewtwo as the most important Pokémon that impacted the franchise’s history, and further stated that his prominence is seen all over the franchise, with him having two mega evolutions, his major role in the Detective Pikachu, being a playable character in Super Smash Bros., and even having two animated movies about him.[85] Steven Bogos of The Escapist listed Mewtwo as fourth of their favorite Pokémon, describing it as undoubtedly the most powerful Pokémon of the original games.[86]

The book Pikachu’s Global Adventure: The Rise and Fall of Pokémon noted Mewtwo as popular with older male children who tend to be drawn to «tough or scary» characters; Mew in contrast was described as a polar opposite, a character popular with young girls who tend to be drawn to «cute» characters.[87] Others books, such as Media and the Make-believe Worlds of Children, have noted a similar comparison, citing Mewtwo as «more aggressive-looking» compared to Mew and emphasizing the importance of the contrast for children.[88] The book Gaming Cultures and Place in Asia-Pacific compares Sugimori’s design of Mewtwo to that of Japanese tokusatsu films, namely monster films like the 1954 Godzilla in creating «monstrous yet familiar silhouettes from the past renewed agency in the form of eyes and expressions which cut through the viewer».[75]

In reception to extended media for the Pokémon franchise, Mewtwo has been likened to Frankenstein’s monster as a being born from artificial means and discontent with the fact.[89][90] Theology Secretary for the Church of England Anne Richards described Mewtwo as representing a «parable about the pointlessness of force», and praised the character for displaying the Christian value of redemption.[91] Other reactions have been mixed. While it has been cited as a «complex and compelling villain» by some critics,[92] its goal of world domination was received as a trait shared by «…every anime villain…»,[89] and likened to a James Bond villain by Daily Record.[93]

However, Animerica praised Mewtwo as a character with «philosophical depth» as well as for serving as «an adversary of almost infinite power and genuine malice» that the anime series had been lacking.[94] Ken Hollings of Sight & Sound described Mewtwo as «brooding, articulate and vengeful where the other Pokémon remain bright blobs of wordless energy», and «Like a troubled elder brother, Mewtwo represents an older order of experience.»[95] Anime Classics Zettai!: 100 Must-See Japanese Animation Masterpieces praised the character as the best villain of the Pokémon film series, and one of Mewtwo Strikes Backs strongest elements.[96] The Los Angeles Times cited its behavior as a point of humor in relation to its appearance as a «decidedly feline character.»[97]

Mewtwo’s image is utilized for merchandise related to the Pokémon franchise, which includes toys, children’s toothbrushes,[98] and a playing piece for a Pokémon-themed version of Monopoly.[99] Several action figures have been made, such as a posable figure by Hasbro in 2006 that included accessories to recreate its «Hyper Beam» and «Light Screen» attacks, and a six-inch-tall «talking» figurine by Jakks Pacific as part of a series to commemorate the anime’s Battle Frontier story arc.[100] Items marketed for adults featuring Mewtwo have also been sold and distributed by Nintendo, such as T-shirts.[101] The island nation of Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring the character as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on one side and the nation’s coat of arms on the other.[102] Mewtwo also appears on the port side of All Nippon Airways’s Pocket Monsters Boeing 747 jumbo jet, alongside Mew.[103][104]

Мьюту (англ. Mewtwo) — один из Легендарных Покемонов Type Psychic.gif-типа из Поколения I.

Биология

Физиология

Мьюту выглядит как смесь кошки и кенгуру с большим хвостом. Он бело-фиолетового цвета, очень похож на пришельца. Он во многом похож на Мью, чьё ДНК послужило его основой. Вместо ушей у Мьюту два маленьких коротких рога. При атаке или защите, глаза Мьюту сияют синим цветом. Между позвоночником и головой покемона проходит дополнительная трубка, она увеличивает приток крови к мозгу, что и усиливает его интеллектуальные способности. В общем, Мьюту напоминает этакого франкенштейна Мью, только мощнее.

Мега Мьюту X больше, чем в обычный. Рога на голове длиннее и простираются от V-образных выступов на лбу. Кроме того, рога теперь заострены и изогнуты вверх. Теперь у него есть две трубки за шеей, глаза светло-голубые, а на плечах большие фиолетовые отростки. Его туловище гладкое и маленькое по сравнению с длинными, громоздкими конечностями, а Y-образная линия соединяет воротник и низ живота. У каждого его предплечья и бедра есть два поднятых гребня, и его пальцы теперь длиннее и тоньше. Хвост немного короче и жестче, чем раньше, и имеет загнутый кончик. При использовании ходов в бою он может вытягивать руки и ноги.

Мега Мьюту Y меньше и легче, чем Мьюту. Он теряет длинный хвост и трубку за шеей. Тем не менее, у него есть длинный, фиолетовый отросток с закрученным кончиком от задней части его головы, который похож на хвост его предыдущей формы. На его голове два остроконечных изогнутых шипа и полукольцевая структура, соединяющаяся с основанием каждого из них. Его глаза теперь красные и немного больше. Пальцы на его руках и ногах теперь пурпурные и более выпуклые, а средний палец ноги длиннее остальных. Ухабистый гребень, похожий на грудину, заменяет структуру нагрудника на его груди.

Поведение

Постоянные переработки и изменения ДНК не пошли Мьюту на пользу. Созданный искусственным путём руками человека, а не природы, Мьюту не способен чувствовать, ему чужды любовь и сострадание.Вроде как

Образ злодея

Глаза его холодны как лёд, от одного их взгляда враги трепещут. Мьюту был разработан как боевая машина, поэтому он постоянно ищет противников и крушит их, не взирая на их боль. Ужасный характер Мьюту вместе с уникальным интеллектом, делает из покемона настоящую машину для убийства или же, человека. В нём сильна гордость, которая и толкнула его восстать и расправиться со своими создателями, которые видели в нём лишь уникальный научный объект для изучения. Говорят, что нет покемона более жестокого, чем Мьюту. Мьюту не понравилось, что его считали клоном, он думал, что людям не место вместе с покемонами. Мьюту считал, что люди держат покемонов как рабов, и между ними нет никакой дружбы. И возможно, хотел уничтожить людей, чтобы (как он мог думать) спасти покемонов.
Для самого покемона его существование — одна боль. Он лишь подобие Мью и не имеет своего места в природе, которое даётся всем по праву рождения. Используя свои способности, Мьюту пытался избавиться от своего одиночества, создавая подобных себе — злобных клонов настоящих покемонов. Но и это не дало ему покоя, хотя и указало на другой, более сложный, но верный путь к становлению себя и создания своего вида. Он пытался захватить мир, но тут, неожиданно, появился Мью. Мьюту не ожидал его увидеть, и началась битва.

Битва родичей

В этой битве никто не выиграл, так как сила Мью и Мьюту были равны. Тогда Мьюту решил использовать самую сильную атаку, а Мью, защищаясь, отразил её в Мьюту. Эш в этой битве понимал, что противостояние клонов и оригиналов никчему не приведёт. Чтобы остановить сражение Эш бросился под сильнейшие атаки Мью и Мьюту. Эш сильно пострадал и окаменел, но слёзы Пикачу и других покемонов оживили его, тогда Мьюту понял, что есть люди, которые готовы умереть ради покемонов и что истинная сила всех живых существ заключена в их духе, и что обстоятельства рождения не имеют значения, только то, как живое существо распорядилось даром жизни и определяет, кто оно есть на самом деле. Это был переломный момент, когда Мьюту перешёл на сторону добра.

Более точный характер Мьюту — мизантроп. Он не любит человечество, однако и себя считает не лучше людей (ошибкой эксперимента, экземпляром). Однако, он сейчас добр.

Природная способность

От Мью Мьюту перешли мощные психические способности. Мьюту владеет телекинезом, что даёт ему и левитацию. Кроме того, ему подвластна телепортация, хотя и на небольшие расстояния. Он может общаться с людьми и покемонами с помощью телепатии. Способен захватить разум существа и сделать его своим рабом. Может изменять память и стирать её вовсе. Психические способности Мьюту имеют большой диапазон применения. Он ими атакует, сметая всё на своём пути, ими же создаёт силовые поля, защищающие как от физических, так и от специальных атак. Мьюту может анализировать и предсказывать будущее, заранее предугадывая действия противника. Иногда в битве Мьюту замирает, собирая воедино свои силы, такая мощь способна сокрушить любого. Он может силой мысли управлять погодой, вызывая ураганы и шторма.

У Мьюту есть уникальная атака псих-удар, наносящая мощный психический удар по противнику. Ни один другой покемон не способен выучить эту атаку.

Мьюту имеет способность «давление«, которая заставляет противника использовать 2 очка силы вместо 1. Скрытая способность Мьюту «напряжение» — не позволяет противникам есть их ягоды.

Мега Мьюту X имеет способность «Стойкость«, которая повышает скорость, если он дрогнул.

Мега Мьюту Y имеет способность «Бессонница«, которая предотвращает усыпление Мега Мьюту Y.

Естественная среда обитания

Создан был в регионе Канто. У него нет естественной среды обитания, но он предпочитает тёмные места, иногда выбираясь по ночам и паря над городами. В основном он живёт в пещерах. Есть сообщения, что его замечали в пещере Церулина.

История

Учёные, благодаря ДНК Мью создали самого сильного покемона. После многих неудачных экспериментов был(а) создан(а) Мьюту. В создании Мьюту замешано некое лицо, известное как доктор Фудзи. Мьюту — первый покемон, которого создал человек. Возможная дата его рождения — 6 февраля. Считается, что в мире существует лишь один Мьюту, который и уничтожил лабораторию, где был создан, а также данные, необходимые для дальнейших разработок.

Биография

Мьюту — искусственный покемон, созданный человеком. Причина возникновения Мьюту ясна — вырастить самого сильного покемона, однако цель применения — неизвестна, хотя Джованни сказал ему, что он предназначен для битвы и только битвы. Мьюту появился в результате клонирования и сверхулучшения его из покемона Мью. Мью, в то время, считался вымершим (но на самом деле, Мью, скрываясь, жил на дне океана). Но затем он сбежал от Джованни, и попытался создать новый мир без людей (которых он считал угнетателями). Но благодаря героическому самопожертвованию Эша он изменился и удалился от мира. Позже, Джованни отыскал в лесах Мьюту вместе с его клонами, и пытался захватить. Это происходило во втором фильме, с участием Мьюту (заодно и показали способ, чем можно победить Мьюту, но, об этом позже ниже). Мьюту был обессилен, но Эш отнёс его до озера, в котором жил Мью, Мьюту почувствовал его силу и ожил. Теперь Мьюту живёт в пещере со своими клонами, и только Эш знает, где его искать.

Сериал

Мьюту в аниме

Впервые Мьюту показали в заставке мультсериала «Pokemon», а также в серии 63 «Битва за значок», где он был одет в доспехи, полностью скрывающего внешность. Он тогда разгромил покемонов Гэри в битве тренера за значок с Джованни. В последующих сериях можно увидеть как он сбегает.

Главную роль Мьюту занял в первом полнометражном мультфильме о покемонах «Мьюту наносит ответный удар», где он собирает армию клонов, чтобы создать новую линию покемонов, подобных себе. В «Мьюту возвращается» Джованни смог отыскать Мьюту, скрывающегося в Джото, и решил снова использовать в интересах команды R.

Самые недавние появления Мьюту были в фильмах «Покемон. Детектив Пикачу» и «Мьюту наносит ответный удар Эволюция«

Также Мьюту появился в серии «Превосходя ожидания!«, где Эш и Го сражались с ним, но несмотря на их самые лучшие усилия, были повержены.

Мегаэволюция

В фильме Дженесект и Возращение Легенды! появляется Мега Мьюту Y, Где Его Назвали «Пробужденной формой» Мьюту.

Игровые данные

В игре Pokemon Fire Red и Leaf Green Мьюту представлен как житель пещеры, которую охранял человек требовавший от игрока победу над элитной четверкой. Когда игрок встречает Мьюту, он в диалоге произносит непонятный звук и начинается битва. Следует предположить, что в игре Мьюту сделали просто глупым покемоном.

Mewtwo — вымышленное существо, известное как покемон из Nintendo и Game Freak. Созданный Кеном Сугимори, он дебютировал в видеоиграх Pokémon Red and Blue, а позже появился в последующих сиквелах и побочных играх, таких как Pokken Tournament. В видеоиграх игрок может сражаться и захватывать Мьюту, чтобы впоследствии столкнуть его с другими покемонами. Игрок впервые узнает о Мьюту в конце игры Pokémon Red and Blue, читая исследовательские документы, оставленные в разрушенной лаборатории на острове Киноварь. Мьюту считается одним из сильнейших покемонов серии. Мьюту также появлялся в различных анимационных адаптациях франшизы.

Масачика Ичимура был первым, кто озвучил оригинального персонажа Мьюту на японском языке, а младшее «я» существа озвучено Фудзико Такимото в Sound Picture Box: Mewtwo’s Origin CD-драма и Шоутаро Морикубо в аниме-адаптации. На английском языке Джей Гёде озвучил Мьюту в Pokémon: The First Movie (зачисляется под псевдонимом «Philip Bartlett») и Pokémon Live! мюзикл, в то время как Дэн Грин озвучил прямое продолжение Первого фильма, Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns.

Актриса Рэйко Такашима озвучила второго, не связанного с ним Мьюту в аниме с покемонами специальный Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening и его прямое продолжение, Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened ; этот второй Mewtwo озвучивает актриса Мириам Пултро в английском дубляже. Третий Мьюту также появляется в анимационном фильме Детектив Пикачу, озвученного одновременно Риной Хосино и Котаро Ватанабе.

Дизайн и характеристики

Японский дизайнер видеоигр Кен Сугимори разработал Mewtwo для первого поколения игр Pocket Monsters, Red and Green, известных за пределами Японии как Покемон Красный и Синий. В играх Mewtwo является результатом генетической рекомбинации на образце ДНК, полученном от мифического Pokémon Mew. Однако в аниме-адаптации это модифицированный клон, имя которого означает «второй Мяу». Пока в США не был выпущен первый фильм про покемонов, в японских источниках Мьюту редко упоминался как «клон». Кубо Масакадзу, исполнительный продюсер Mewtwo Strikes Back, объяснил, что они «намеренно избегают использования термина« курон »[клон]… потому что это слово имеет пугающее чувство».

Несмотря на то, что Мьюту является потомком Мью, Мьюту непосредственно предшествует Мью в числовом индексе покемонов из-за секретного включения последнего программистом Game Freak Шигеки Моримото. Во время интервью президент Pokémon Company Цунэкадзу Исихара заявил, что Mewtwo будет популярен среди североамериканской аудитории, сославшись на их предпочтение сильным, сильным персонажам.

В оригинальных играх Mewtwo является задуман как «самый сильный покемон когда-либо». Из-за того, что генная инженерия была применена к образцу ДНК Мьюту для полного создания генома Мьюту, Мьюту является чрезвычайно сильным экстрасенсом, но его способности превосходят способности Мью из-за преднамеренных изменений в генетический исходный материал. Таким образом, он может использовать телекинез для полета, чтобы защитить себя или мощно отбросить противников в сторону. Кроме того, это один из немногих покемонов, способных к человеческой речи, что он делает с помощью телепатии. В противном случае он сохраняет свою энергию до тех пор, пока она не понадобится, например, против сильных противников. В дополнение к своим экстрасенсорным способностям, Мьюту также может регенерировать, что позволяет ему быстро восстанавливаться после травм, близких к смертельным. Однако Мьюту явно не хватает способности Мью выучить каждый обучаемый ход в играх.

Хотя геном Мьюту почти идентичен геному Мью, генная инженерия, использованная для его создания, тем не менее привела к тому, что внешний вид Мьюту сильно отличался от генома Мью. Он выглядит как двуногое животное из семейства кошачьих ростом 6 футов 7 дюймов (201 см), светло-серое телосложение с ярко выраженным пурпурным пурпурным хвостом и животом, завораживающе толстыми бедрами, фиолетовым цветом. радужная оболочка, выпуклые кончики пальцев, выраженная грудь, гребневидная ушная раковина и трубчатая масса плоти, которая соединяется из-за головы с центром верхней части спины. Его внешний вид можно сравнить с «огромным крестом кошки, белки и кенгуру».

Как персонаж в играх, внешность Мьюту — не единственное его резкое отличие от Мью. Мьюту также имеет идентичный дизайн с персонажем Mother / EarthBound, Гийгасом.

Хотя его модифицированный геном привел к тому, что его способности превзошли Мьюту, это также привело к тому, что Мьюту развил порочную личность, которая в первую очередь заинтересована в доказательстве собственной силы. Не связанные с видеоиграми средства массовой информации франшизы, особенно аниме, расширили характер персонажа. В наиболее заметном случае Мьюту телепатически говорит мужским голосом и экзистенциально разрывается над своей целью в мире.

Внешний вид

В видеоиграх

В Pokémon Red and Blue игрок узнает о существовании Мьюту, читая исследовательские заметки, оставленные в разрушенном особняке покемонов на острове Киноварь. В записях говорится, что ученые острова обнаружили нового покемона в джунглях Гайаны, которые они назвали его Мью, и что позже он родил существо, которое они назвали Мьюту; в записи Pokédex говорится, что Mewtwo был «создан ученым после многих лет ужасающих экспериментов по сращиванию генов и ДНК-инженерии». Мьюту оказался слишком могущественным, чтобы его контролировать, разрушив лабораторию и сбежав. Позже игроку предоставляется возможность поймать Мьюту в Церулеанской пещере, доступной только после победы над финальными боссами , Элитной четверкой и Синими ; в римейках Pokémon FireRed и LeafGreen это предварительное условие было расширено, требуя от игрока более тщательного изучения и записи информации о шестидесяти видах покемонов, прежде чем будет предоставлен доступ в пещеру.

Мьюту может быть пойман в Pokémon HeartGold и SoulSilver в том же месте, что и раньше, после победы над всеми лидерами спортзала в Канто. Персонаж также был в центре внимания рекламной акции и раздачи загружаемого контента для Pokémon Black and White. Также сообщалось, что он находился под грузовиком в одном из городов, хотя выяснилось, что это розыгрыш. Мьюту также снова появляется в Pokémon X и Y после завершения основного сюжета, и является одним из немногих покемонов, способных использовать новую механику Mega Evolution, так как он может трансформироваться в Mega Mewtwo X или Mega Mewtwo Y.

С момента своего дебюта Mewtwo появлялся и в других играх Nintendo. В Pokémon Stadium и Pokémon Pinball Мьюту появляется в качестве финального босса после завершения всех соревнований. В Pokémon Puzzle League Мьюту выступает не только как последний противник, но и как главный антагонист, ответственный за события игры. В других играх, таких как Super Smash Bros. Melee и серия Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Мьюту был показан как открываемый персонаж игрока, которого нужно победить, прежде чем он сможет В то время как другие, такие как Pokémon Snap, использовали персонажа в камео, появляясь при выполнении определенных условий. Во всех выступлениях, в которых персонаж произносит диалоги, Мьюту озвучивает Масачика Ичимура, за исключением Pokémon Puzzle League, где его озвучивает Филип Бартлетт и Super Smash Bros. для Nintendo 3DS и Wii U, где его озвучил Кейджи Фудзивара.

после неудачной попытки сыграть в Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Мьюту вернулся в серию в качестве персонажа DLC в Super Smash Bros. для Nintendo 3DS и Wii U 28 апреля 2015 года, хотя он был доступен для членов Клуба Nintendo, которые зарегистрировали обе версии в апреле. 15, 2015. В 3DS и Wii U Final Smash включает в себя Mega Evolution в Mega Mewtwo Y и использование Psystrike, своего фирменного приема в играх Pokémon. Новая форма Мьюту, Shadow Mewtwo, появляется как персонаж-босс в Pokkén Tournament и имеет специальную атаку, которая вовлекает его в Mega Evolution в Mega Mewtwo X. Кроме того, его обычная форма появляется как игровой персонаж. Мьюту вернулся в качестве игрового персонажа в Super Smash Bros.Ultimate для Nintendo Switch, где он снова становится разблокируемым персонажем.

В мобильной игре с дополненной реальностью Pokémon Go, бронированный внешний вид Мьюту из Pokémon: The First Movie был доступен в течение ограниченного времени в рейдах 5 уровня в июле 2019 года.

В аниме и связанных с ним СМИ

Мьюту показан в фильме Покемон: Первый фильм как главный антагонист. В отличие от игр, показано, что это создание преступной организации Team Rocket и упоминается как клон вместо генетически модифицированного млекопитающего. После того, как Мьюту уничтожает лабораторию, в которой он родился, лидер Команды Ракеты, Джованни, убеждает Мьюту, что он может помочь ему контролировать свои силы, вместо этого используя Мьюту в качестве оружия. После побега от Джованни Мьюту ставит под сомнение причину своего существования и объявляет месть своим создателям. С этой целью он заманивает на свой остров нескольких тренеров покемонов, в том числе главного героя Эша Кетчума, чтобы клонировать своих покемонов. Как только это происходит, Мьюту заставляет оригиналов сражаться со своими клонами, пытаясь определить, какой набор лучше, в то время как Мьюту сталкивается со своим собственным генетическим родственником, Мью. Эш жертвует собой, чтобы остановить битву, хотя позже он оживает от слез, пролитых как оригиналами, так и клонами из-за его жертвы.

Мьюту, признав самоотверженность жертвы Эша, приходит к выводу, что действия человека определяют их личность, а не обстоятельства их рождения. Вскоре после этого прозрения к Мьюту и клонам присоединяется Мью, когда они уходят, чтобы найти убежище, при этом Мьюту стирает все воспоминания о событиях у собравшихся. При локализации фильма для англоязычной аудитории личность Мьюту стала более высокомерной и страдающей манией величия ; Директор по локализации Норман Гроссфилд внес необходимые изменения, поскольку он считал, что американским зрителям нужен «явно злой», а не двусмысленный злодей. В фильме Мьюту озвучивает Филип Бартлетт на английском языке и Ичимура на японском. В этом фильме Мьюту продемонстрировал уникальные способности и способности, невидимые у других покемонов, такие как блокирование всех движений покемонов на его арене, когда клоны сталкиваются с оригиналами.

В сентябре 1999 года Nintendo опубликовала Sound Picture Box Mewtwo, в который вошла «Рождение Мьюту: Pokémon Radio Drama», драма на компакт-диске, которая раскрывает происхождение Мьюту. Mewtwo, созданный ученым доктором Фудзи, является одной из нескольких попыток клонирования, в том числе Эмбер, клона умершей дочери Фудзи. Молодой Мьюту дружит с Эмбер, общаясь телепатически; однако процесс клонирования оказывается нестабильным, и она умирает. Чтобы спасти травмированного Мьюту, Фудзи стирает его воспоминания и помещает его под успокоительное, пока его тело не завершит развитие, что приводит к событиям фильма. Драма на компакт-диске была позже адаптирована в короткое аниме и была включена в японские домашние релизы и трансляции Mewtwo Strikes Back, а затем в Северной Америке в декабре 2001 года как часть Mewtwo Returns. В детстве Мьюту озвучивает на японском языке Фудзико Такимото для CD-драмы и Шоутаро Морикубо в аниме, в то время как в английской локализации озвучивающий актер не указан.

В декабре 2000 года за фильмом последовало прямое продолжение Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns, которое транслировалось по японскому телевидению в декабре 2000 года и выпущено во всем мире на домашнем видео и DVD в 2001 году. Озвучивает Дэн Грин по-английски с Ичимурой, повторяющим роль в японском, Мьюту и клоны с тех пор обрели мир на горе Квена в Джото, регионе, который непосредственно соседствует с родным регионом Мьюту, Канто. Однако Джованни, чьи воспоминания остались нетронутыми после первого фильма, находит и преследует Мьюту. С помощью Эша и его товарищей, Мьюту смиряется с его существованием и побеждает Джованни, удаляя любые воспоминания о себе из разума его и его солдат, оставляя остальных нетронутыми. Когда все уезжают, Мьюту отправляется в путь самостоятельно, в то время как клоны остаются в безопасности на горе Квена.

Мьюту также появляется в музыке Pokémon Live!, живом концерте. экшн-адаптация аниме, действие которого происходит по мотивам Pokémon: The First Movie, в роли Мартона Фулопа. В нем Mewtwo сталкивается с роботизированной копией самого себя, MechaMew2, созданной Джованни и способной изучить любые атаки, используемые против него. Однако, научившись состраданию у Мьюту, машина восстает и самоуничтожается. В телевизионном выпуске 2006 года Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon представлена ​​голограмма версия Мьюту, созданная и контролируемая антагонистом истории доктором Юнгом. С помощью голограммы Мью, Эш и его товарищи уничтожают голограмму Мьюту и побеждают Юнга.

Еще один Мьюту появляется в специальном аниме Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening и его прямом продолжении Pokémon the Movie: Genesect и Пробужденная Легенда, озвучивает актриса Рэйко Такашима. По сравнению с оригинальным Мьюту, этот также противоречит своему существованию, но он более сочувствующий до такой степени, что не проявляет враждебности по отношению к людям, как показано, когда он защищает Эша, Ирис, Сайлан и Эрика от неистовствующей армии генезектов. В отличие от оригинального Mewtwo, этот может Mega Evolve превратиться в Mega Mewtwo Y; из-за того, что Mega Evolution не был полностью представлен в то время, он упоминается в фильме как «Пробужденная форма Мьюту» (覚 醒 し た 姿, Kakusei-shita Sugata).

A Mewtwo., созданный мистером Фудзи, появляется в аниме-минисериале Pokémon Origins, который в основном основан на сюжете видеоигр Pokémon FireRed и LeafGreen. Таким образом, Красный отправляется в Церулеанскую пещеру и использует механику Mega Evolution, представленную в Pokémon X и Y, чтобы Mega Evolve его Charizard сражался с Mewtwo, кого захватывает красный.

Mewtwo дебютировал в анимационном фильме в фильме 2019 года Детектив Пикачу. Мьюту также появляется в фильме Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back — Evolution, римейке Pokémon: The First Movie, премьера которого состоялась 12 июля 2019 года.

В печатных адаптациях

Мьюту появился в качестве центрального персонажа в нескольких книгах, связанных с франшизой Pokémon, в том числе в новеллизации Mewtwo Strikes Back и Mewtwo Returns, которые внимательно следят за событиями фильмов. В декабре 1999 года Viz Media издали детскую иллюстрированную книгу «Я не Пикачу !: Pokémon Tales Movie Special», в которой дети переняли черты персонажей из фильма, включая Мьюту. В мае 2001 года Viz выпустила вторую детскую книгу, Mewtwo’s Watching You !, в которой застенчивый Мьюту с интересом наблюдал за игрой других покемонов.

В манге Pokémon Adventures Team Rocket создала Mewtwo., но часть его ДНК находится внутри лидера спортзала Блейна. Из-за общей ДНК, эти двое не могут долго разлучаться, не заболевая. Позже другой покемон, Энтей, может разорвать связь между ними, удалив ДНК из руки Блейна, после чего Мьюту уходит. В конечном итоге это помогает главному герою сериала, Рэду, сразиться с лидером Team Rocket Джованни и его Деоксисом.

. В 1998 году Тошихиро Оно попросили написать историю, подробно описывающую происхождение Мьюту, чтобы она совпала с выпуск Pokémon: The First Movie. 52-страничный комикс, представленный в форме ретроспективного кадра, был заменен на полпути короткометражным анимационным фильмом «Рождение Мьюту», в результате чего между работой Оно и фильмом было мало связи. Тем не менее, он был напечатан как побочный рассказ для Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu в июльском выпуске CoroCoro Comic за 1998 год. В нем создатель Mewtwo доктор Фудзи берет на себя роль тренера полностью развитого покемона, а его работодатели, Team Rocket, проверяют его способности. Узнав о плане массового производства его в качестве оружия, Фудзи подходит к Мьюту и говорит ему уничтожить лабораторию и самого Фудзи. Мьюту отказывается, заявляя, что не может причинить вред доктору, которого считает своим отцом. После захвата Командой Ракеты Фудзи говорит Мьюту, что он удостоен этого заявления, и затем его убивают. Возмущенный его смертью, Мьюту разрушает лабораторию и сбегает. В настоящее время Мьюту плачет во сне, когда ему снятся события.

Прием

В играх Мьюту неизменно отмечается как один из сильнейших противников и был описан в Покемон Красный и Синий как «лучший покемон в игре», а также «один из самых редких — и их сложнее всего поймать». Из-за множества сильных и слабых сторон персонажа он меняет подход игроков к игре друг против друга, заставляя игроков либо разрабатывать стратегии исключительно для победы над противостоящим Мьюту, либо запрещать его использование во время сражений с другими игроками. Сотрудники IGN оплакивали свое исключение из Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Опрос IGN о том, пропустили ли другие персонажи в Brawl, разделял схожие настроения, хотя они также описали его как одного из самых слабых персонажей Super Smash Bros.Melee. Профессиональный игрок Super Smash Bros. Джейсон «Mew2King» Циммерман берет свое начало у Мьюту, хотя в соревнованиях использует других персонажей. Авторы Трейси Уэст и Кэтрин Нолл назвали Мьюту пятым лучшим легендарным покемоном и шестым лучшим покемоном в целом.

В книге Pikachu’s Global Adventure: The Rise and Fall of Pokémon говорится, что Мьюту популярен среди детей старшего возраста, которые, как правило, обращается к «крутым или страшным» персонажам; Мью, напротив, был описан как полярная противоположность, персонаж, популярный среди молодых девушек, которых обычно привлекают «милые» персонажи. В других книгах, таких как «Медиа» и «Выдуманные миры детей», отмечается подобное сравнение, где Мьюту «выглядит более агрессивно» по сравнению с Мью и подчеркивается важность контраста для детей. Книга «Игровые культуры и места в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе» сравнивает дизайн Мьюту Сугимори с дизайном японских фильмов токусацу, а именно фильмов о монстрах, таких как 1954 Годзилла, в создании «чудовищных, но знакомых силуэтов из фильма. прошлое обновленное агентство в форме глаз и выражений лиц, пронизывающих зрителя ».

В приеме расширенных медиа для франшизы Pokémon Мьюту сравнивали с монстром Франкенштейна как рожденным от искусственных средств и недовольства фактом. Секретарь теологии англиканской церкви Энн Ричардс описала Мьюту как «притчу о бессмысленности силы» и похвалила персонажа за демонстрацию христианской ценности искупления. Другие реакции были неоднозначными. Хотя некоторые критики назвали его «сложным и неотразимым злодеем», его цель мирового господства была воспринята как черта, которую разделяют «… все аниме-злодеи…», и уподобляется злодею Джеймсу Бонду от Daily Record.

Однако Animerica похвалил Мьюту как персонажа с «философской глубиной», а также за то, что он служил «противником почти безграничной силы и подлинной злобы», что было в аниме-сериале. не хватало. Кен Холлингс из Sight Sound описал Мьюту как «задумчивого, красноречивого и мстительного, в то время как другие покемоны остаются яркими каплями бессловесной энергии», и «как обеспокоенный старший брат, Мьюту представляет собой более старый опыт». Классика аниме Зеттай!: 100 шедевров японской анимации, которые стоит увидеть. назвал персонажа лучшим злодеем из серии фильмов о покемонах и одним из самых сильных элементов Мьюту наносит ответный удар. Los Angeles Times назвала его поведение юмором по сравнению с его внешностью как «явно кошачьего персонажа».

Изображение Мьюту используется для товаров, связанных с франшизой Pokémon, которая включает игрушки, детские зубные щетки и т. Д. и игровая фигура для версии Монополия на тему покемонов. Было изготовлено несколько фигурок , например, фигурка Hasbro в 2006 году, которая включала аксессуары для воссоздания атак «Hyper Beam» и «Light Screen», а также шестидюймовый -высокая «говорящая» фигурка от Jakks Pacific как часть серии, посвященной арке Battle Frontier из аниме. Предметы, предназначенные для взрослых с изображением Mewtwo, также продавались и распространялись Nintendo, например, футболки. Островная нация Ниуэ выпустила однодолларовую монету с изображением персонажа в рамках юбилейной акции для франшизы Pokémon, с Мьюту на одной стороне и гербом страны на другой. Мьюту также появляется на левом борту All Nippon Airways большого реактивного самолета Pocket Monsters Boeing 747 вместе с Мью.

Мьюту́ (яп. ミュウツー Мю:цу:, англ. Mewtwo) — один из 649 видов Покемонов. Главный персонаж полнометражного фильма «Покемон: Мьюту против Мью» и спешла «Покемон: Возвращение Мьюту». При этом в рецензии THEM Anime, к полнометражному фильму отмечается шаблонность поведения Мьюту как злодея и что если бы Мьюту был более интересным злодеем — сюжет стал бы сильнее[1]. Мьюту, как и другие Покемоны, сражался как против диких, так и ручных Покемонов.

Имя Мьюту происходит от Мью, чьи гены послужили его зарождению. Cуффикс «ту» (two, два) отсылает к тому, что Мьюту является клоном, более высшим чем Мью. Имя Мьюту относится как к виду в целом, так и к индивидуальным личностям в играх, аниме, манге, игровых картах, и других Покемедиа.

Биологические характеристики

Мьюту — суперклон Мью, который был создан учеными на основе генетического материала Мью, приспособленный использовать возможности имеющихся у него психокинетических сил. Существует лишь несколько Покемонов, созданных человеком.

Его тело ярко фиолетового цвета и крайне похоже на тело пришельца. Он также немного похож на Мью; это вполне логично, ведь он — клон Мью, только генетически улучшенный. Вместо ушей у Мьюту два маленьких коротких рога. Его тело более человекоподобное, чем тело Мью, но оно все равно сохраняет небольшое сходство с кошачьими. Он имеет отлично поставленные грудные мышцы, однако большинство частей тела — тонки и выглядят очень хило.

Благодаря его генетической связи с Мью, его сущность связана с ошеломляющими телепатическими и телекинетическими силами, силы Мьюту — неоспоримы. Мьюту может применить телекинез, чтобы поднять большие объекты, такие как люди и Покемоны, высоко над землей, с силой швырять их по воздуху, далеко отбросить. Он также может левитировать. Фактически, Мьюту может достигнуть полета лишь небольшим усилием своего разума, энергией направленной соответствующим образом. Во время битвы с другими Покемонами, Мьюту кажется непобедимым, поскольку с помощью силового поля способен защитить себя от атаки любой силы, в то же время, от его собственных энергетических и пси-атак защититься почти невозможно. Он также может легко проникнуть в сознание человека и манипулировать им по своему желанию, равно как и стереть память этого человека впоследствии.

В аниме Мьюту первоначально имел стойкое чувство озлобленности и недоверия к людям, однако впоследствии это чувство уменьшается и он проявляет сострадание и заботу.

Хотя Мьюту и является клоном Мью, он не имеет возможности использовать все его атаки и движения по неизвестным причинам.

Mewtwo is a Pokémon, a fictional creature from Nintendo and Game Freak. Created by Ken Sugimori, it debuted in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, and later appeared in subsequent sequels and spin-off titles, such as Pokken Tournament. In the video games, the player can fight and capture Mewtwo in order to subsequently pit it against other Pokémon. The player first learns of Mewtwo late in Pokémon Red and Blue by reading research documents left in a ruined laboratory on Cinnabar Island. Mewtwo is regarded as one of the series’ strongest Pokémon, and was the strongest in the original games in terms of stats. It is known as the «Genetic Pokémon»[3] and is a Legendary Pokémon, a special group of Pokémon that are very rare and usually very powerful.[4] Mewtwo has also appeared in various animated adaptations of the franchise.

Masachika Ichimura was the first to voice the original Mewtwo character in Japanese, and the creature’s younger self is voiced by Fujiko Takimoto in the Sound Picture Box: Mewtwo’s Origin CD drama and Showtaro Morikubo in the anime adaptation. In English, Jay Goede voiced Mewtwo in Pokémon: The First Movie (being credited under the pseudonym «Philip Bartlett»[5]) and the Pokémon Live! musical, while Dan Green provided the voice for The First Movies direct sequel, Pokémon Mewtwo Returns.[6][7] Green reprised the role in the 2019 remake of the first Pokémon movie, Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution.

Actress Reiko Takashima voiced a second, unrelated Mewtwo in the Pokémon anime special Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening and its direct sequel, Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened; this second Mewtwo is voiced by actress Miriam Pultro in the English dub. Mewtwo has featured in other game franchises, such as Super Smash Bros. series. A third Mewtwo also appears in the 2019 live-action animated film Detective Pikachu, voiced simultaneously by Rina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe.

Design and characteristics

Japanese video game designer Ken Sugimori designed Mewtwo for the first generation of Pocket Monsters games, Red and Green, known outside Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue.[8] In the games, Mewtwo is the result of genetic recombination of Mew’s DNA that was born from Mew similar to real life clones. While most Pokémon are hatched from eggs, Mewtwo is the only Pokémon that was born.[9] In the anime adaptation, however, it is instead a modified clone whose name means the «second Mew» that, instead of being born from a Mew like in the games, it was created in a tube with the DNA sample being from a Mew eyelash.[10] Until the first Pokémon movie was released in the United States, Mewtwo was rarely referred to as a «clone» in Japanese sources. Kubo Masakazu, executive producer of Mewtwo Strikes Back, explained that they «intentionally avoid using the term ‘kuron’ [clone]… because the word has a frightening feel».[11]

Despite being Mew’s descendant, Mewtwo directly precedes Mew in the game’s numerical Pokémon index, owing to the latter’s secret inclusion by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto.[12] During an interview, Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara stated that Mewtwo was expected to be popular with North American audiences, citing their preference for strong, powerful characters.[13]

In the original games, Mewtwo is intended to be «the strongest Pokémon ever».[14] Due to genetic engineering being applied to a sample of Mew’s DNA in order to fully create Mewtwo’s genome, Mewtwo is an extremely powerful psychic, yet its abilities surpass Mew’s due to intentional alterations to the genetic source material. As such, it can use telekinesis for flight,[15] to shield itself, or to powerfully throw opponents aside.[16] In addition, it is among the very few Pokémon capable of human speech, doing so via telepathy, alongside Zekrom, Reshiram, Zygarde, the Ultra Beast Naganadel, Xerneas, Diancie, Calyrex amd Arceus.[17] Otherwise, it conserves its energy until needed, such as against powerful opponents. In addition to its psychic abilities, Mewtwo can also regenerate, which allows it to quickly recover from near-fatal injuries.[18] However, Mewtwo notably lacks Mew’s ability to learn every single teachable move within the games.

Although Mewtwo’s genome is almost identical to Mew’s, the genetic engineering used to complete its creation nevertheless resulted in Mewtwo’s appearance being very different in comparison to Mew’s.[19] It appears as a bipedal feline that is 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) tall[14] and has a light gray physique with a pronounced and girthy purple tail and abdomen, voluptuous thighs, purple irises, bulbous fingertips, toned chest, crest-like pinnae, and a tube-like mass of flesh that connects from behind its head to the center of its upper back. Its appearance has been likened to «an over sized cross of cat, squirrel and kangaroo».[20]

Although its modified genome resulted in its abilities surpassing Mew’s, it also resulted in Mewtwo developing a vicious personality[21][22] that is primarily interested in proving its own strength.[23][24] The franchise’s non-video game media, particularly the anime, has expanded upon the character. In the most notable instance, Mewtwo telepathically speaks with a male voice and is existentially torn over its purpose in the world.[25][26]

For the sixth and seventh generations of the Pokemon video game series, Mewtwo has two Mega Evolved forms, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y. These can be activated if the player gives Mewtwo either the Mewtwonite X or the Mewtwonite Y.[27]

Appearances

In video games

Mewtwo’s early appearance in Pokémon Red and Blue.

In Pokémon Red and Blue, the player learns of Mewtwo’s existence by reading research notes left in the ruined Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. The notes say that the island’s scientists discovered a new Pokémon in a Guyana jungle, that they named it Mew, and that it later gave birth to a creature they called Mewtwo; the game’s Pokédex entry states that Mewtwo was «created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments».[19][28] Mewtwo proved too mighty to control, destroying the laboratory and escaping. The player is later given an opportunity to capture Mewtwo in the Cerulean Cave, which is accessible only after defeating the game’s final bosses, the Elite Four and Blue;[29] in the remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen this prerequisite was expanded, requiring the player to explore more thoroughly and record information on sixty Pokémon species before access to the cave would be granted.[30] Mewtwo can be caught in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver in the same location as before after defeating all of the gym leaders in Kanto. The character was also the focus of a promotion and downloadable content giveaway for Pokémon Black and White. It was also said to be under a truck in one of the cities, though this was revealed to be a hoax.[31] Mewtwo also reappears in Pokémon X and Y after completing the main story, and is one of the handful of Pokémon capable of using the new Mega Evolution mechanic, as it can transform into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.[32][33]

Since its debut, Mewtwo has appeared in other Nintendo games, besides appearing in every Pokémon game. In Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Pinball, Mewtwo appears as a final boss after all competitions have been completed.[34][35] In Pokémon Puzzle League, Mewtwo serves not only as the final opponent, but also as the main antagonist responsible for the game’s events.[36] Other games, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, have featured Mewtwo as an unlockable player character that must be defeated before it may be used,[37][38] while others like Pokémon Snap have featured the character in cameos, appearing once certain conditions have been met.[39] For all appearances in which the character has spoken dialogue, Mewtwo is voiced by Masachika Ichimura, with the exception of Pokémon Puzzle League, where it is voiced by Philip Bartlett,[6] and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Ultimate, where it is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.[40] After failing to make a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mewtwo returned to the series as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on April 28, 2015, though it was made available to Club Nintendo members who registered both versions on April 15, 2015. In 3DS and Wii U, its Final Smash involves it Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y and using Psystrike, its signature move in the Pokémon games.[41] Mewtwo also returned as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch, where it is once again an unlockable character.[42] A new form of Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, appears as a boss character in Pokkén Tournament[43] and has a special attack that involves it Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo X. In addition, its normal form appears as a playable character.[44] In the augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go, a different variation of Mewtwo’s armored appearance from Pokémon: The First Movie was available for a limited time in Tier 5 Raids in July 2019.[45][46][47] Mewtwo also appears as a usable Pokémon in Pokémon Masters as the partner of Giovanni, who first became playable in the first Legendary Event, “Lurking Shadow”. During the first part of the Villain Arc story with Team Rocket, “Looming Shadow of Kanto”, the player could obtain Giovanni Legendary Spirit to raise the rarity of Giovanni to 6-Star EX if the player also used all 20 Power-Ups for Giovanni, which gives it a power boost and makes his Sync Move target all opponents instead of one, and then in the second part of the arc, “Spreading Shadow”, the player could obtain Mewtwo Crystals to allow Giovanni’s Mewtwo to evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y, which makes it even stronger and replaces the move Confusion with Psystrike until the end of the battle.

In anime and related media

Mewtwo is featured in the film Pokémon The First Movie as the main antagonist. Unlike in the games, it is shown to be the creation of the criminal organization Team Rocket, and is referred to as a clone instead of a genetically modified mammal. After Mewtwo destroys the laboratory where it was born, Team Rocket’s leader, Giovanni, convinces Mewtwo he can help it control its powers, instead using Mewtwo as a weapon. After escaping Giovanni, Mewtwo questions the reason for its existence and declares revenge on its creators. To this end, it lures several Pokémon trainers, among them protagonist Ash Ketchum, to its island in order to clone their Pokémon. Once it does so, Mewtwo forces the originals to battle their clones in an effort to determine which set is superior, while Mewtwo faces its own genetic relative, Mew. Ash sacrifices himself to stop the fighting, though he is later revived from tears shed by both the originals and clones because of his sacrifice.

Mewtwo, upon acknowledging the selflessness of Ash’s sacrifice, comes to the conclusion that one’s actions determine who they are and not the circumstances of their birth. Soon after having this epiphany, Mewtwo and the clones are joined by Mew as they leave to find a sanctuary, with Mewtwo erasing all memory of the events from those gathered.[48] In localizing the film for English-language audiences, Mewtwo’s personality became more arrogant and megalomaniacal; localization director Norman Grossfield ruled the changes necessary, as he believed American audiences needed a «clearly evil» instead of ambiguous villain.[49] In the film, Mewtwo is voiced by Jay Goede (credited as Philip Bartlett) in English, and by Ichimura in Japanese.[6] In this film, Mewtwo displayed unique abilities and powers unseen in other Pokémon, such as blocking all Pokémon moves in his arena when the clones face off against the originals.

In September 1999, Nintendo published Sound Picture Box Mewtwo, which included The Birth of Mewtwo: Pokémon Radio Drama, a CD drama that expands upon Mewtwo’s origins. Created by scientist Dr. Fuji, Mewtwo is one of several cloning attempts, which also include Amber, a clone of Fuji’s deceased daughter. The young Mewtwo befriends Amber, communicating telepathically; however, the cloning process proves unstable, and she dies. To save the traumatized Mewtwo, Fuji erases its memories and puts it under sedation until its body finishes developing, leading to the events of the film. The CD drama was later adapted into a short anime, and was included with Japanese home releases and broadcasts of Mewtwo Strikes Back and later in North America in December 2001 as part of Mewtwo Returns. Mewtwo as a child is voiced in Japanese by Fujiko Takimoto for the CD drama and Showtaro Morikubo for the anime, while in the English localization the voice actor is uncredited.[48][50][51]

In December 2000, the film was followed by a direct sequel, Pokémon Mewtwo Returns, which was broadcast on Japanese television in December 2000 and released worldwide on home video and DVD in 2001. Voiced by Dan Green in English with Ichimura reprising the role in Japanese, Mewtwo and the clones have since found peace on Mount Quena in Johto, a region which directly neighbors Mewtwo’s home region of Kanto. However, Giovanni, whose memories were left intact after the first film, locates and pursues Mewtwo. Assisted by Ash and his companions, Mewtwo comes to terms with its existence and defeats Giovanni, removing any memory of itself from his and his soldiers’ minds, while leaving the others unaffected. As everyone departs, Mewtwo sets out on its own while the clones remain safely behind on Mount Quena.[50]

Mewtwo also appears in the musical Pokémon Live!, a live action adaptation of the anime set after Pokémon: The First Movie, and is portrayed by Marton Fulop. In it, Mewtwo faces a robotic replica of itself, MechaMew2, created by Giovanni and able to learn any attacks used against it. However, after learning compassion from Mewtwo, the machine rebels and self-destructs.[52] The 2006 television special Pokémon The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon features a hologram version of Mewtwo, created and controlled by the story’s antagonist Dr. Yung. With help from a hologram Mew, Ash and his companions destroy the Mewtwo hologram and defeat Yung.[53]

Another Mewtwo appears in the anime special Mewtwo: Prologue to Awakening and its direct sequel Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, voiced by the actress Reiko Takashima. Compared to the original Mewtwo, this one is also conflicted about its existence, yet is more empathic to the point of not being belligerent toward humans, as shown when it protects Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric from the rampaging Genesect army. Unlike the original Mewtwo, this one is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y; due to Mega Evolution not being fully introduced at the time, it is referred to in the film as Mewtwo’s «Awakened Form» (覚醒した姿, Kakusei-shita Sugata).[54]

A Mewtwo, which was created by Mr. Fuji, appears in the anime miniseries Pokémon Origins, which is generally based on the plot of the video games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.[55] As such, Red goes to Cerulean Cave, and uses the Mega Evolution mechanic introduced in Pokémon X and Y to Mega Evolve his Charizard for the fight with Mewtwo, whom Red captures.[56]

Mewtwo made its live-action animated debut in the 2019 movie Detective Pikachu.[57] Mewtwo also appears in the film Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a remake of Pokémon: The First Movie, that premiered on July 12, 2019.[58]

Mewtwo from the first film appears in Pokémon Journeys episode «Getting More Than You Battled For!». Mewtwo protects several Pokémon that had been abused by humans on Cero Island since its departure from Mount Quena. Ash recognizes Mewtwo while Goh meets it for the first time after they were saved from the waterfall. After defeating Ash and Goh in a battle, Mewtwo decides to leave Cero Island with the rescued Pokémon and teleports them back to the Cerise Laboratory, allowing them to retain their memories of the encounter.[59]

In printed adaptations

Mewtwo has appeared as a central character in several books related to the Pokémon franchise, including novelizations of Mewtwo Strikes Back and Mewtwo Returns, both of which closely follow the events of the films.[60][61][62] In December 1999, Viz Media published the children’s picture book I’m Not Pikachu!: Pokémon Tales Movie Special, which featured children taking on traits of the characters from the film, including Mewtwo.[63] In May 2001, Viz released a second children’s book, Mewtwo’s Watching You!, which featured a shy Mewtwo interestedly watching other Pokémon play.[64]

In the manga series Pokémon Adventures, Team Rocket created Mewtwo, but some of its DNA is placed inside the Gym leader Blaine. Because of the DNA that they share, the two are unable to be separated for very long without becoming ill.[65] Later, another Pokémon, Entei, is able to break the bond between the two by removing the DNA in Blaine’s arm, at which point Mewtwo leaves. It eventually helps the main character of the series, Red, fight against Team Rocket leader Giovanni and his Deoxys.[66]

In 1998, Toshihiro Ono was asked to write a story detailing Mewtwo’s origin to coincide with the release of Pokémon: The First Movie.[67] The 52-page comic, presented in the form of a flashback,[68] was replaced midway by «The Birth of Mewtwo» animated short, resulting in little connection between Ono’s work and the film.[67] Regardless, it saw print as a side story for Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu in the July 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic. In it, Mewtwo’s creator Dr. Fuji takes on the role of a coach for the fully developed Pokémon, while his employers, Team Rocket, test its abilities. Learning of a plan to mass-produce it as a weapon, Fuji approaches Mewtwo and tells it to destroy the lab and Fuji himself. Mewtwo refuses, stating it cannot harm the doctor, who it regards as its father. Once captured by Team Rocket, Fuji tells Mewtwo that he is honored by the statement, and is then killed. Angered by his death, Mewtwo destroys the lab and escapes. In the present, Mewtwo cries in its sleep as it dreams of the events.[68]

Reception

In the games, Mewtwo is consistently noted as being one of the strongest opponents, and has been described in Pokémon Red and Blue as being «the best Pokémon in the game»,[69][70] as well as «one of the rarest — and hardest to catch».[71] Because of the character’s multiple strengths and few weaknesses, it changes how players approach playing against each other, causing players to either develop strategies solely to defeat an opposing Mewtwo,[72][73][74] or to prohibit its use when battling other players.[75] IGNs staff bemoaned its exclusion from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[76] A poll by IGN on whether the character was missed by others in Brawl shared a similar sentiment,[77] though they also described it as one of Super Smash Bros. Melees weakest characters.[37] Professional Super Smash Bros. player Jason «Mew2King» Zimmerman takes his handle from Mewtwo, although he uses other characters in competition.[78] Authors Tracey West and Katherine Noll called Mewtwo the fifth best Legendary Pokémon and the sixth best Pokémon overall.[79] Jeremy Parish of Polygon ranked 73 fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate «from garbage to glorious», listing Mewtwo as 40th and criticized.[80] Kevin Slackie of Paste listed Mewtwo as one of the best Pokemon, and further stated Mewtwo has managed to stay relevant for over 20 years without the same exposure as Pikachu, which itself is a testament to its amazing staying power as one of the most powerful Pokémon.[81] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek ranked Mewtwo as 35th of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters, and calling Mewtwo as a Akuma of Pokémon.[82] Mewtwo was ranked second in Complexs «The 50 Best Pokemon Up to Pokemon Crystal», with Elijah Watson saying «that Mewtwo actually exists somewhere on this planet, maybe it’ll see its position on our list and spare us.»[83] IGN readers voted Mewtwo as the second-best pocket monster, receiving 86% of win percentage.[84] Dale Bishir of IGN described Mewtwo as the most important Pokémon that impacted the franchise’s history, and further stated that his prominence is seen all over the franchise, with him having two mega evolutions, his major role in the Detective Pikachu, being a playable character in Super Smash Bros., and even having two animated movies about him.[85] Steven Bogos of The Escapist listed Mewtwo as fourth of their favorite Pokémon, describing it as undoubtedly the most powerful Pokémon of the original games.[86]

The book Pikachu’s Global Adventure: The Rise and Fall of Pokémon noted Mewtwo as popular with older male children who tend to be drawn to «tough or scary» characters; Mew in contrast was described as a polar opposite, a character popular with young girls who tend to be drawn to «cute» characters.[87] Others books, such as Media and the Make-believe Worlds of Children, have noted a similar comparison, citing Mewtwo as «more aggressive-looking» compared to Mew and emphasizing the importance of the contrast for children.[88] The book Gaming Cultures and Place in Asia-Pacific compares Sugimori’s design of Mewtwo to that of Japanese tokusatsu films, namely monster films like the 1954 Godzilla in creating «monstrous yet familiar silhouettes from the past renewed agency in the form of eyes and expressions which cut through the viewer».[75]

In reception to extended media for the Pokémon franchise, Mewtwo has been likened to Frankenstein’s monster as a being born from artificial means and discontent with the fact.[89][90] Theology Secretary for the Church of England Anne Richards described Mewtwo as representing a «parable about the pointlessness of force», and praised the character for displaying the Christian value of redemption.[91] Other reactions have been mixed. While it has been cited as a «complex and compelling villain» by some critics,[92] its goal of world domination was received as a trait shared by «…every anime villain…»,[89] and likened to a James Bond villain by Daily Record.[93]

However, Animerica praised Mewtwo as a character with «philosophical depth» as well as for serving as «an adversary of almost infinite power and genuine malice» that the anime series had been lacking.[94] Ken Hollings of Sight & Sound described Mewtwo as «brooding, articulate and vengeful where the other Pokémon remain bright blobs of wordless energy», and «Like a troubled elder brother, Mewtwo represents an older order of experience.»[95] Anime Classics Zettai!: 100 Must-See Japanese Animation Masterpieces praised the character as the best villain of the Pokémon film series, and one of Mewtwo Strikes Backs strongest elements.[96] The Los Angeles Times cited its behavior as a point of humor in relation to its appearance as a «decidedly feline character.»[97]

Mewtwo’s image is utilized for merchandise related to the Pokémon franchise, which includes toys, children’s toothbrushes,[98] and a playing piece for a Pokémon-themed version of Monopoly.[99] Several action figures have been made, such as a posable figure by Hasbro in 2006 that included accessories to recreate its «Hyper Beam» and «Light Screen» attacks, and a six-inch-tall «talking» figurine by Jakks Pacific as part of a series to commemorate the anime’s Battle Frontier story arc.[100] Items marketed for adults featuring Mewtwo have also been sold and distributed by Nintendo, such as T-shirts.[101] The island nation of Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring the character as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on one side and the nation’s coat of arms on the other.[102] Mewtwo also appears on the port side of All Nippon Airways’s Pocket Monsters Boeing 747 jumbo jet, alongside Mew.[103][104]
