Season Review: Solar Opposites Six

Overview:

Solar Opposites released its sixth and final season on October 13, 2025. With the show about to give its final send-off, fans were also excited as one storyline was set to reach its conclusion. Trailers already teased that the inhabitants of “The Wall,” shrunken people imprisoned in the Opposites’ home, are planning their big escape. Of course, there’s still the driving question of whether or not the Pupa will finally reform the world, bringing an end to life as we know it.

The Review:

The season starts out with the Shlorpians seemingly having adjusted to their lives on Earth, until parasitic “Beta Nuts” that grow on the inside threaten to eat them from within. They learn that this is being caused by the return of Commander Zarck. Whether or not he wants revenge, the Opposites need to get rid of him before the Beta Nuts make them into mulch. Meanwhile, A.I.S.H.A. might consider leaving the aliens who seem to take her for granted.

Of course, admitting that they actually miss their alien adventures saves the day, even taming the Beta Nuts, who are promptly incinerated. It’s not quite enough to re-convince A.I.S.H.A., who Zarck drove to a destructive warpath, but the Pupa manages to bring her back to normal. Unfortunately, the family’s money-making devices are destroyed in the chaos, driving the season’s plot.

The Story Of The Wall Finally Reaches Its Big Conclusion

The second episode once again brings attention to the residents of the Wall. An ongoing story this season is “Project Ariana,” in which Queen Cherie is leading the shrunken denizens in their quest to get “Grande” again, formulating a special team to get what they want. Yumyulack catches wind and tries to keep the shrinking gun out of reach, but a flying vehicle, the “Ariana 1” might be their last chance to escape.

After a few twists and turns, the story reaches its conclusion by the eighth episode. With a little cyberbullying and emotional blackmail, Queen Cherie’s team is able to get Yumyulack to change them back. However, there is a catch. One person will be left behind, and it’s someone close to Cherie, causing the team to make a big decision. Without giving too much away, the story shares that, regardless of what happens, there will always be more stories to tell. Funnily enough, the episode also teases the final fate of the Opposites, even after the actual finale.

The penultimate episode feels like another breather episode, complete with a plot out of 21 Jump Street, presumably the buddy-cop version. However, it’s actually the episode that addresses a question that drove the series from the start: is the Pupa really going to bring an end to the Earth?

While the Opposites have often felt like outcasts on Earth, the show has finally reached a point where they seem to be in a good place. Well, everyone except Korvo. Thanks to this, things take a turn when the Pupa actually starts to terraform.

Korvo is left with the choice. He could allow the Pupa to accomplish the Opposites’ goal from the start, or let the others be happy as they are. Of course, the fact that there’s one more episode on the way suggests they’re not gonna all die at the end. Besides, resolving things here allows the actual finale to wrap up a few more details.

Solar Opposites Resolves Another Driving Question, But Has One More Story Left To Tell

The series’ “swansong” comes in “What is the Mission Anyway?” At first, it seems like everything is going right for the Opposites. Korvo and Terry are doing well with their careers. Jesse and Yumyulack are set to head off to college. JK Sevens even managed to quit smoking. However, the Pupa suddenly starts to transform. Not into an evolutionary phase, but as a vampire, sucking the blue out of the Opposites and even developing a weakness for garlic.

Things then cut into the SilverCops storyline, with Dodge Charger, formerly Glenn, having to go undercover on Earth, returning to the planet the Opposites expelled him from. Joining the SilverCops, they spy on the Pupa’s transformation from afar, with Dodge in danger of being exposed as a rat.

Meanwhile, the Opposites try to find out what’s behind the Pupa’s transformation. Thinking conflict in the household is to blame, the Opposites decide to visit the Red Goobler, who has apparently been doing well after a lawsuit with the red M&M. This initially seems to work, but it doesn’t last long.

The Opposites decide to solve all of the world’s problems as a last-ditch effort, but the Pupa then runs off, having transformed into a gorilla. At the last second, the Opposites sedate him with a Pop-it toy and other treats. Of course, this is finally when the SilverCops arrive to confront the Opposites. In fact, they even reveal that the Shlorpians’ whole lives are part of an even larger scheme.

The GoldCops are able to save the Opposites and Dodge Catcher in time, and everyone has a good laugh, with the Opposites’ ambitions and dreams finally coming true. In particular, Korvo, who was starting to feel left behind as the others seemingly reached their goals, probably gets the happiest ending. Let’s just say he’ll continue to complain about planets smelling bad for the time being.

Things come to a close with a quick joke about the Pupa possibly eating the show as he watches it through a sphere, a fourth-wall joke that may or may not be a nod to St. Elsewhere. Then, the credits roll.

As Season 6 is the show’s final season, fans likely want all the driving stories to get the main focus. Overall, the season tries to keep its tone with previous seasons. A few major storylines, including the final transformation of the Pupa, are resolved. But things really don’t kick in until the last three episodes. That said, fans can appreciate a bit of familiarity as the show concludes.

Besides, there’s always a bit of fun to be had during the lighter moments. After all, when the “clip” show has a Bluey mash-up with Rocko’s Modern Life, complete with Carlos Alazraqui, animation fans probably aren’t going to complain.

It’s always sad to say goodbye, but at least fans can always enjoy the journey. Besides, the opposites could always make their return someday. Seriously, it seems like everything is getting rebooted these days.

The ending is a good way to end the show. Viewers do get something of a happy ending, without it being too forced or saccharine. In fact, it completely fits the tone of the show. More importantly, one message
