Speaking of Digimon name localization stuff, Hackmon is called "Huckmon" in the 20th anniversary vpet :psyduck:

Regrettably, Huckmon is the official romanization, as shown in the Digimon Reference Book.

And to be fair there is another character in the digimon franchise named "Hackmon", and he's better better than Huckmon in all ways so I have no problem with Appmon keeping the name.

Who knows. Nothing has been said about it. If it happens, I'd imagine it would happen around episode 33 considering that'd be the mid point of the series.

I'd be surprised if we don't get a second opening though, considering every series since Savers has had two openings (Xros Wars even had three!)

Yeah, Mimi definitely hit exactly how I was feeling about the boat arc.

"So slow! Hurry up! Come on!" is what my entire group has basically been shouting at every "Koshiro and co. look at a screen and talk about boats" scene. And god did we have lots of them.

I'm so glad the whole crew is back in the Digital World.

The separate arcs would have been okay, if the real world kids had actually done anything besides sitting in the park for 6 episodes.

This really is the problem honestly. Splitting the cast and having them do different things is only something that works when you don't make it transparent that one group is the group that matters and the other group is spinning their wheels. If we had had an episode in there that was mostly the Real World team doing stuff with only occasional cuts back to the Digital World that would have helped, but when it's the other way around for seven straight episodes what you're actually doing is shaft the Real World team in favor of the Digital World team.

I kinda get why they did it- the team would have steamrolled poo poo if they were all together for the Knightmon and Devimon fights, maybe even DoneDevimon. This was the 'best' way to get TK in and give him some focus...

But they really, really should have paced things out better. Give the others a more involved plot where they do poo poo, let the Devimon stuff play out over longer.

New cards:


BushiAgumon

I’d post the Baboongamon card (also in black) but it’s low rez. The cards seem to make a line of Gotsumon>Baboongamon>Gogmamon>Blastmon

Possibly a step up from the previously posited Gotsumon > Icemon > Insekimon > Blastmon line. Or maybe not.

Also why is this the first time I've been introduced to Bushi Agumon?

The kids sitting around in the park was boring but I didn’t mind it so much just because I’m 90% sure I know the exact spot they’re sitting in so every time I’m like “THEYRE JUST LIKE ME!”

Also Gogmamon to Blastmon just blew my mind. I never made the connection.

Warp evolution to Gaioumon might make sense.

Something like this would probably work for a line for him;

Bushi Agumon-> Musayamon*-> Butenmon^-> Tactimon

*Buraimon or Ryudamon would also work

^Grademon or Hisyaryumon could also work here

New Project VB Tease: this time the egg hatches to reveal a new digimon's silhouette. Looks like an electric agumon/veemon-like digimon to me.

Chalk me up for preferring Hisyaryumon. There are more than enough Agumon with Dude In Armor evolutions. Hell, Grademon could even pass for a WarGreymon variant with a slight redesign.

As for the Adult, I guess Ryudamon fits the line the best if Hisyaryumon is in the line. It’d go back to Dude In Armor for Tactimon, but what can you do?

Edit: How the gently caress is Butenmon a Perfect and not a Mega?

He was created to evolve to Chronomon. Backfilled evolution line and all that.

Watched the first 3 episodes of the Adventure reboot with my GF. Jesus, this show is good and I got way too hyped about the first jogress. We both went in pretty much blind so just seeing one episode was named War Games was a surprise.

I'm kind of curious if at some point Ryo might get a cameo, and my only thought when they mentioned something American getting hacked was thinking they were about to cameo Willis from the Cocomon special.

Also been playing a little bit of the card game with her and its been fun.

I laughed when Koshiro and the others were wondering how to get back to the Digital World, and then Hikari's plot powers conveniently kicked in. I guess that's just being accurate to the original series. :v:

According to the next episode preview, the cast are getting seperated as soon as they reunite. FFS. I will accept this only if we get episodes where the entire rest of the cast get their own Perfect.5 forms in the near future.

On the other hand no Pegasmon yet, so that's promising.

I wish that Toei had adopted the 25-episode seasonal approach when doing the reboot. That way the animation team could take some well-deserved break and they could have the time to make stock transformations for the rest of the kids's Digimon.

Yeah, basically all of this episode's budget was put into that animation at the very end.

That said, I liked that the team had some actual tactics beyond "shoot it harder." Taichi was both his old reckless self and came up with a plan that actually worked!

Next episode: That's definitely MoonMillennuiummon, right?

Looks like there's way more to figure out here but the mystery mon has been revealed as Pulsemon.

Still more to come but it seems like it's being released next March.

Yeah, there's at least 5 currently known cards: Impulse City (yellow card), Volcanic Beat (red card), Blizzard Fang (blue card), as well as Agumon and Gabumon.



(Volcanic Beat/Blizzard Fang and Agumon/Gabumon look to be sold in 2 packs from what I can attempt to make out on the site, so I'm thinking that Impulse City comes with the watch/pedometer?)

The watch itself is approx 6380 yen and the card packs are approx 1760 yen so yeah.. the wallet's gonna feel this one for sure.
