Not only does the new anime Ash look different, he’s also a weakling!
Or, better yet, he now has normal ten-year old kid strength. Because in the past, Ash has lifted enormously heavy Pocket Monsters (and other objects) with ease.
Remember this? The kid is carrying a tree trunk like it’s nothing and then THROWING IT.
The scene appeared in a 2006 episode of the Pokémon anime.

Oh how ten years can change a…ten year-old.
The latest series showed Ash trying to clear logs out of the road.
But he’s a wimp in the new series.
(Pikachu seems kinda strong!)
Good thing back up arrived.
And cleared the road.
Superhuman, the new anime Ash is not.
