The website also says it connects to a phone app. Google translate:

"Transfer Digimon raised in Vital Breath to a dedicated app. Online battles with users nationwide are possible. In addition, you can get daily activity records, registration in the evolution picture book, new missions, and items."

Hope it's easy to use without knowing Japanese. A little disappointed that the really nice color screen from the tease was probably just a phone.

Edit: Oh, both the Youtube video description and the Twitter account posted in english. Maybe they'll bring it to the states.

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
On one hand, this is probably never getting officially brought over ever, so getting it would absolutely require importing.

On the other hand, I can't afford it anyways, and I don't do enough walking around to get much use out of something like that. If I did, I'd still be playing Pokemon Go.

Edit: In bright yellow, Pulsemon looks pretty eh, I really like it in the kind of lime yellow-green the official art has it as? It looks like an energy drink mascot, but not necessarily in a bad way.

From the looks of it the only thing that is premium is the yellow brace version which is more expensive as it comes with the Veemon DiM card. Also, maybe the Blue MetalGreymon card as it is a preorder bonus.

Here are the boxes.

Here's the new ending. It has significantly less effort put into it than the last one, with a bunch of still shots and very little animation, which is disappointing.

On the one hand, yes, half of his lines are ONII-CHAN.

On the other, the other half are significantly more interesting than the rest of this bland cast put together with the exception of Mimi, who rocks, and Joe, who also rocks but slightly less. So overall the balance says that he's still one of the best characters in the series by being allowed to actually do things (seriously, him just throwing himself at DarkKnightmon with no regards for his own life was so good) and not being just a passive existence that can't even bring character conflict.

Boy that sure is some wheel spinning. Episode 30 better blow my socks off with how hard they've been budgeting these last few episodes.

On the other hand I'm extremely interested in what they're doing with Hikari seeing as she clearly left with Skull Knightmon voluntarily. Even money he's replacing Wizarmon for the series and there's a meta-thing where he turns face like he didn't in Xros Wars.

If she has I haven't heard it yet. Next episode is a big ol' fight, the episode after promises War Greymon, and the episode after is about Millenniumon. There's a good chance she'll show up/be mentioned/hinted at coming in one of those episodes, but no summaries have mentioned her yet. The only information so far is from the pre-release information that stated Tailmon is out of sight for some reason.

some people are suggesting a kinda ridiculous theory that SkullKnightmon/DarkKnightmon is in fact a Corrupted Tailmon, the main evidence they have for this is that A) he has a really heavily modulated voice, and B) is apprently uncredited

Heavily modulated voices that go uncredited in Japanese productions are always done that way for a reason, so I could buy this lol.

angel to dragon is similar in that dragons are kind of seen as godish in a lot of cultures so like, once again, in a broad sense i can see the connection

They also did literally this in the current Kamen Rider series, one of the villains went uncredited in the opening until the episode where his identity is revealed when they not only started crediting him but actually doubled down and gave him an extra title in the opening credits to explain what relation he has to the rest of the cast and why it's important he's a bad guy now.

I'll be the first to admit that the reboot is wearing on me a little with the way it lurches from one fight to the next with little down-time for character moments, but that image is clearly edited. (Unless that's the joke and I'm not getting it)



On the episode itself, there were so many noticeably repeated clips in that MetalGreymon fight even I found it a bit grating. I hope that the Nanimon stuff leads to an interesting character dynamic.

I find it hard to describe, but while a lot has happened it also doesn't really feel like much has happened. Everything has moved just as fast as those first three episodes with the exception of the "everybody (but Tai and Matt of course) stares at a computer screen doing nothing for six episodes straight arc". The kids don't feel much closer as friends either. If your gonna separate the kids at least give me interesting/underused combinations like Joe and Kari or Mimi and TK. Everybody being on their own is kinda boring, but I guess having the digivices be a communicator kinda hampers the feeling of separation anyway. I guess I don't really know what I want from this series anymore. :shrug:

At least they're making good on their statements about upping the variety of Digimon shown as I wouldn't have expected Xros Wars Cyberdramon to ever show up again.

We also have a profile for Pulsemon.

Wikimon posted:

A Digimon that evolved under the influence of heartbeat waveform data stored in hospitals and gyms. It has a lively personality in that it treats anyone without discrimination. Pulsemon's characteristic fringe is linked to its emotions, and droops when it feels down. It is a cunning fighter who battles by capitalizing on its natural agility, and moving around in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Its Special Moves are ramming into the enemy with all its might at lightning speed (Elec Rush), and discharging electricity generated within its body from its fringe (Petit Impulse). In addition, many Digimon that are influenced by the vital data of others like Pulsemon, improving their physical abilities and evolving, have been discovered.

The new battle song is called Break the Chain, by Tanimoto Takayoshi like every non-ending song so far. We'll get a peek of it this weekend, alongside the WarGreymon evolution sequence (of which we got some pics today)
https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/1339894800133189632

As well, we got the first image for DCG BT-05 "Battle of Omega", showing the namesake Digimon alongside Zwart D, alongside several others that would likely be on their side.



Omegamon has BanchoLilimon, Cutemon, OmegaShoutmon, Jijimon, and a silhouette I don't recognise (the one in the center)
Zwart D has Shademon/Eyesmon (hard to say without more of a view, both Digimon are extremely similar), Algomon Perfect (I think?), Troopmon, ChaosDukemon? (very unsure on this one) and the last one's too small for me to see.

People with better eyes may find more than I do, I'm really unsure about the Zwart D side.

I want to say the central one on Omegamon side is Medieval Dukemon? That looks like the Staff side of its axe and it looks like it has a cape. It also makes sense in contrast because that's definitely some version of the standard issue Dukemon with Zwart.

On Zwart side I think that's Shademon at the top judging by them having concentric circles in the eyes. Eyesmon only has the pupil.As for the bottom one I'm unsure, but I think it has two mouths?
