Episode description

Fly me to the Pokemon Sun & Moon.

This Week In Japan, you can: fly via Pikachu Airlines (if you're vaccinated), break into a school (if someone else has already broken in), steal toilet paper (if you're the police chief), silence political criticism (if you're Twitter), or not say anything about the Olympics (if you're the Emperor). Sadly, neither Jon or Tom are the Emperor (yet), so they are not allowed to not say anything about the Olympics.
