It causes too many problems thematically with the franchise, to the extent we get stuff like OmniShoutmon while the show is displaying omega symbols that are now rendered meaningless. Between that and the parallels between him and Alphamon being lost, it's too much trouble than it's worth. Preserving that stuff and keeping it evident in the translation is more important than "what sounds cool".

They certainly sound stronger that way, though it doesn't draw attention to the ties to wargreymon and metalgarurumon. I guess "grey sword" and "garuru cannon" could still be the names of the weapons and those are the techniques tho.

The Bee posted:I'm gonna out myself as a heretic here and say I think Omnimon sounds cooler than Omegamon, though the loss of the mirroring with Alphamon is kind of a shame. Transcendent Sword and Supreme Cannon are leagues better than Grey Sword and Garuru Cannon, though, and that one I'm not even gonna accept an L on because I'm right. To be fair, Omni/Omegamon came years before Alphamon so their duality didn’t exist yet. It is a odd change to have made, however, even if I like Omnimon as a name.

If anything I'm amazed they didn't make a bunch of other primary colored Sistermon variants to join her.

The scene with Gammaon and the manjuu was extremely painful. Gammamon is basically a 5yo and having to explain death to someone that young seems downright impossible and also a shortcut to tugging at my heart.

So like the episode of Sesame Street where they have to explain the concept of death to Big Bird(or a more recent episode where they did the same for Elmo)

A bunch of cards got leaked from a magazine, not posting all of them, just the ones I think are interesting  quote:Daigo Nishijima  quote:Maki Himekawa Himekawa synergizes with the BlackWarGreymon line and the DexDorugamon lines  quote:Grademon  quote:DexDorugamon So far there’s only one card that lets you evolve from the trash, Dracmon. The Dorumon from this set lets you discard a card with X-Antibody to draw two, getting DexDorugamon and co in the bin.  quote:Dracmon In the lore, the only versions of Death-X Evolution we see are from the DexDorugamon line and the Dracmon/GrandDracmon line.  quote:Gaiomon/Samudramon We don’t know if the card is going to be called Gaioumon or Samudramon. Given that there’s cards that have effects if you have cards with “dramon”, like Ryo, I think it might be called Gaioumon. The Hackmon/Huckmon cards all got printed as Huckmon, but Vritramon got printed as BurningGreymon (this card is not a Greymon) so who friggen knows

Man, it's impressive to think of how, not that long ago, MInidekachimon and Atamadekachimon were two of the most obscure monsters in the franchise, winners of a contest and having appeared in one obscure V-Pet and absolutely nothing else for years and years. And now they got an anime appearance, were added to the DRB and even got DCG cards! https://twitter.com/digimon_tcg/status/1484722487384444929 I'm proud of these two. They only need a game appearance now.

Episode 15: that was honestly kind of meh. Hindsight may be kinder to this episode when the show starts to cash in some of its chips, but for now it was mostly unexciting. Angoramon evolved, which is what I expected and a long time coming. I don't think they put him over particularly strongly, but then again so far in the show the only evolved form that was really made to look powerful was, um, Gulus Gammamon so that could very well be deliberate… Again there is a certain through line of gentleness to this show as a whole so far. And on the other hand I actually appreciate it happened at the start of the fight, because obviously Ruli and Angoramon they are well past the point where that might be a struggle for them. And speaking of Ruli the show seems to be leaning into a theme of keeping secrets and people having hidden sides to them in most of the recent episodes about her. It does make me wonder a little bit about her, because we don't actually know all that much about her background do we? We know about Hiro and his weird dad, and Kiyoshiro got his entire back story dumped out by Jellymon to mock him in his first episode, but Ruli's living situation seems a little bit more vague.

 what was up with that scene with Angoramon using a forklift to charge into the tent? With rubble falling from the "ceiling" as well. Feels like originally they were going to be inside a building and then rewrote it forgetting this part wouldn't make sense afterwards.

The show really does seem intent of using the sheer menace of the random digimon to make up for the current lack of overarching plot in these early episodes. Still, they are using a lot of powerful Digimon so soon, meaning that they plot villains will really have to step up the threat level since Ultimates will be old hat by the point they show up at this pace.

I imagine it won't be going Young Hunters on us just from the episodes so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if this season de-emphasized there always being a big main villain behind everything.

A lot of the Ultimates they show aren't necessarily beaten. Generally they're just driven back enough to listen to reason or flee and that's sufficient enough for the team
