If there is one thing the far-right and the far-left can agree on, it would be agreeing to kill Ash Ketchum's original nemesis Gary Oak.
Gary "Shigeru" Oak is often seen wearing a yellow/green Taegeuk amulet, and the Taegeuk is the emblem of the Republic of South Korea. Unfortunately, this means Gary Oak is on the hit list of both the Fascists and the Communists.
Even if the Taegeuk is not a hate symbol unlike the Swastika or the Rising Sun or even the Hammer and Sickle, it is not safe from the fury of those who hate it regardless of color. For all we know, Ash was either the reincarnation of an Imperial Japanese Army soldier who was killed by the Allies during World War 2 or a Communist Soldier who was killed by the Allies during the Korean War. Perhaps Ash is suffering from depression as a result of becoming mentally ill due to him being a Zainichi Korean who can never return because he was a Communist sympathizer.
Maybe one day Game Freak will reveal everything about the Pokemon TV series, just like how they debunked the coma theory.
