It's top tier even without an overarching plot. Unless it starts to poo poo the bed near the end of the show - whenever that winds up happening - I expect this to be one of my favorite Digimon shows period, top three for sure.

They're really building Gammamon up to be the Rookie version of some big powerful thing that I feel may end up being a little underwhelming.

Well, Gulus already was shown to easily one-shoot Perfect-level Digimon as an Adult, so he's proven to be as dangerous as he's treated in direct combat at least, and the Oboromon episode seems to imply that he's drained a bunch of Digimon of their powers and that's why they're following him around in blackened forms.

Vital Bracelet spoilers: We also know that's not as far as he goes, with him having Perfect and Ultimate levels of his own. The Perfect, Regulusmon, is as powerful as Megidramon and the Ultimate generates a Digital Hazard by merely existing. Since Ghost Game has stuck to the DRB a lot more than previous series, I'd imagine all of this will be true for their in-show versions too.

I'm concerned more about the impact of the evolution more than the power level of it because making Gammamon look strong has never been a problem for the show: his Adult forms have consistently punched above their weight class and Canoweissmon has consistently shown himself to be incredibly strong. After all how many times has someone literally cracked a Digitamamon's shell? And there have been plenty of other episodes so far where the monster of the week is totally overwhelmed by Canoweissmon's power and completely blown away by a Meteor Lux or a Dragonia. The only thing that's consistently held him back and lost him fights is the time limit on his evolution, if it hadn't timed out I firmly believe he could have beaten Asuramon and was in pretty good shape for Shawuijinmon as well despite fighting underwater. I worry that the build up won't be as good as it could have been, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Siriusmon's debut has him convincingly blowing away a REALLY strong Digimon.

ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode EX4-074 SEC <02>

[Digivolve: 4 from [ShineGreymon]]

[When Digivolving] [On Deletion] All of your opponent's Digimon get -5000 DP until your opponent's turn ends.

[End of Attack] Delete this Digimon and 1 of your opponent's Digimon, and <Recovery +1 (Deck)>. Then, if you have a Tamer, hatch 1 Digi-Egg card to an empty space in your breeding area.

Good lore, strong when digivolving and on delete effect. I think if you digivolve into it, attack, then trigger its End of Attack effect you get a blanket -10k DP on your opponent's digimon in addition to deleting an opponent's digimon outright. Solid as removal, trivial to go into with BT12 Marcus, but going from a Mega on field to a digitama is rough.

Also notable: This is a level 7 Digimon, which suggests that Burst Modes will also be level 7.

This is correct.

It is, but your opponent's board will be completely clear and you'll still (likely) have Marcus.

Burst Mode being level 7 makes more sense than them being level 6, since it's supposed to be stronger than Mega.

This is the important part, you're set up to rebuild quickly assuming you did the thing your deck wants to do, and you've also given yourself a pretty massive inbuilt tempo advantage with that lingering effect. If you stacked both effects your opponent's field has -10000 to everything for the turn, before, during, and after the effect resolves. That means absolutely anything 10K or less cannot actually survive being on your opponent's field, which is generally going to basically be anything below level 6. A lot of decks can't really do anything under those conditions, meaning you've essentially stolen their turn. Sacrificing Ruin Mode is basically an extremely aggressive Time Walk.

Not to mention you also get a recovery, so even if you were dead on board, you're highly unlikely to lose the next turn.

Theoretically, with two turns worth of open board, you could also just smash a Marcus parade into your opponent's face.

We got the Jellymon BEM chart from Amazon and there's something interesting about the adventure unlock mega:

It looks like MarineAngemon, but there's no repeat star and the sprite is different from the sprite used previously. It's unlikely Bandai would update a sprite so we might be looking at a new recolor or form.

Ghost Game 56: The DiM Card Adventure route didn't lie! And related to that HOLY gently caress!

That was a hell of a debut, and I think the impact was actually stronger because of how closely the series holds its cards to its chest, to my knowledge there was absolutely no mention of having a new insert song coming in for this episode, when the buildup hit a crescendo and the music changed, man…

Shoutouts once again to Ghost Game for making Ultimate Digimon look absolutely terrifying. Kuzuhamon captured everyone in the city in less than a day and lived up to that "God" classification, and while it wasn't the most explosive action choreography the mere fact Siriusmon could actually take on someone that scary and win definitely shows us what he's got.

Next episode is interesting as well, I'm pretty sure the preview had Vamdemon, Neo Devimon, and Astamon appearing. I almost hope Siriusmon makes an immediate second appearance and just ripped them to shreds to put him over.

Ghost Game: So this week we have Kuzuhamon and, more importantly, the first of our crew's mega debuts, with Siriusmon. Kuzuhamon was appropriately powerful, with the way she effortlessly swatted Canoweissmon away and recaptured Hiro. I'm not sure the character beats justify the mega evolution, but the threat Kuzuhamon posed definitely did. It was a fun episode, but it kinda has me wondering when we're going to see more movement on the GulusGammamon storyline.

I think Nodosaur is right, after upping the contrast on my monitor I realize I missed the robes at the edge of the shot with the claw. The claws on the boot at the end tripped me up because they're oddly short, both regular and Werewolf Cerberumon have much more strongly pronounced claws on their feet.

Lilithmon appearing as an antagonist next week also raises the odds Siriusmon will return as well.

I was talking to a friend, and they made a point I found interesting. Diablomon's name is probably meant to be "Diavolomon", after the Italian word "diavolo", instead of Diablomon. "DiaBOro"mon (the romanization not the dub name) is closer to diavolo, while "DiaBUro"mon would be how Diablomon would be properly romanized. On top of that, Infermon's name is derived from the Italian word for hell, so there's precedent there.
