Team Rocket mottos: Difference between revisions

When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in their mech, Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Team Rocket's blasting off again!" (4Kids dub) or "We're blasting off again!" (TPCi dub) before disappearing into the distance with a star. This usually happens only once each episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', where they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because they blasted off once very early in the episode, followed by another blast off later, and a final blast off. Another reason could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

Team Rocket didn't blast off after ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' until ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'', but from then until ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', they blasted off every episode. However, those blastoffs weren't against their will and involved pain, as they always blasted off with jetpacks. They also didn't scream their infamous quote, "We're blasting off again!" for the aforementioned reason. Starting from ''New Places... Familiar Faces!'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, seeming to have left their jetpack behind.
