One, one more episode left for me to watch the finalé. It's been a thrilling journey, that ran over one year. I'm glad to have learned that Xros Wars will continue on next Sunday with the beginning of its third season.

Now, I'm taking a look at things of what transpired in the penultimate episode.

Spoiler:

The downright fact about Baguramon shattering the Code Crown to split the Digital World into 108 zones became a two fold enterprise which was borned because he knew all along about his little brother, SkullKnightmon's scheme to seek power for himself in order to surpass the older siblings.

Quite the Shakesperean scenario we got concerning their filial relationship among those two brothers, but it was Machiavellan delicious.

This conflict, of course, answered more questions as to the origin of the Xros Loaders and that was to further DarkKnightmon's personal agenda. However, knowing and playing all along with the scheme, Baguramon gave away another Xros Loader, unknowing to DarkKnightmon, to counter his little brother's selected champion (Yuu Amano) with one of his own selected champion (who turned to be Kiriha) to play the power struggle.

DarkKnightmon was extraordinary in his role as a villain: a smooth-talker who knew how to hide his seeming malevolence and hideousness to talk all parties to fight each other; to sow discord while him not having to risk his presence in the frontlines unless the situation became ripe to start running his agenda with the creation of the Darkness Loader.
There's no doubt that he created the prototype Xros-Loader for evil intention, but he didn't count that the Xros-Loader stolen inadvertently from him by Omnimon was delivered to a human boy (Taiki) who knew how to cherish and value the weight of true friendship.

Darkness Bagramon's D5 scenario paid meaningful moments to the end of the world scenario witnessed at the final battles for Digimon Adventure, Digimon Tamers, and Digimon Frontier.

We found out that DarknessBaguramon is actually a speciest, deeming the human as worthy and not deserving of life. The human world got in his way towards his conquest and reunification of all dimensions and gave it reason enough to erase it. However, once Baguramon absorbed DarkKnightmon's soul, the resultant DarknessBaguramon became stimulated by his late little-brother's ambition and plans and slightly reverted his standing against the human world; he has invaded it to reformat it to his ideal image and take everything with it.

It felt nostalgic to me that they took notice at revisiting old themes from the very earlier arcs that shaped the formation of Xros Heart United Army and which continue to be Taiki's staples: Taiki's view and attitude towards not leaving alone others that need help, and Shoutmon's desired dream to become the Digital King for the protection of others.
Those are ideals and convictions worth fighting for our heroes.

Let's see how the last episode fares, although I do miss for a personal plea that they should had played the piano version of "Butterfly" (Adventure OP theme) while Taiki was desperately struggling with Shoutmon's loss inside the unknown dimension that DarknessBaguramon sent them to.
