(CR) Digimon Adventure:

[Tokkan]

So... did anyone else catch the brief glimpse of Mugendramon (Machinedramon in the old dub) in MetalGreymon's evolution sequence in episode 12?

[FlareKnight]

Poor Andromon...It had to happen, but that was tragic. Goes differently I suppose when you replace black gears with those bird things. And I suppose a conflict against him goes differently when you have access to ultimate evolutions. I know I should feel worse for Guardromon, but all the more tragic for Andromon to get manipulated and only recover his senses before oblivion took him.

I suppose on the positive side Lilimon gets to have a cool debut that isn't undercut by anything . Still not entirely sure about how powerful she is. But she does have some interesting abilities that get the job done.

Yeah I just took another look and noticed that as well. I'm not sure what it means though. Kind of looked like we saw some digital imprint of Greymon, then it bugged out, and turned to Machinedramon. I mean true enough that Greymon is going mechanical for that evolution to MetalGreymon. But, it's weird. Are they going to have a Skullgreymon type moment where the first Mega form Agumon's evolution hits is Machinedramon? Honestly it's a cool thing for them to slip into that evolution sequence. But I'm just not sure what it all means .

[alex_drian]

lol, MetalGreymon fat ass can't fight properly in cramped spaces.

But damn, some armor had Andromon that tanked Giga Storm.

You can say whatever you want but 90's 3D Perfect DigiEvolution sequences for MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon looked and still look as the coolest shit to me.

[FlareKnight]

Again, not a bad episode there. Even if they are moving pretty quickly at least they are trying to give each character some kind of focus along the way. I suppose if they are going to push the Matt and Sora route this time it won't feel all that problematic in this one. Not a whole lot of focus on that friendship in this version of the show thus far.

And if nothing else they are doing a nice job showing that evolution levels aren't just an easy win button. Be it Metalgreymon in tight spots last week or Weregarurumon this week, it isn't always that easy. Sure Weregarurumon is pretty darn powerful, but against an opponent that dwarfs him by insane proportions there is only so much he can do there. Garudamon was a good option for this kind of silly large opponent.

So we're set for Izzy and Tentomon to get their focus next week. With obviously Joe and Gomamon getting theirs the week after. Past that we might actually some attention drawn to their opponent and the 'holy digimon' who we can pretty safely guess the identity of anyways.

I think WereGarurumon could have tear CannonBeemon from inside but the problem was the collateral damage and putting Yamato and the other digimon in danger so was more about not the appropriate circunstances.

The new ending is a banger

[FlareKnight]

Overall that episode was alright. It felt more like Joe was being dragged kicking and screaming into being reliable, rather than stepping up in his own right. But I suppose in the end it all worked out. Kind of figured they'd actually have him make some suggestions on what to do about Sora's condition. But that was still mostly left to Matt and the others.

On the positive side it was a really good episode for Gomamon. Managed to drag Joe into doing the right thing even if there was a need to pressure him pretty regularly to make it happen. His determination and courage was through the roof at various points so credit to him.

Not sure what exactly to make of the end of the episode. But we'll see where this goes.

Looks like everyone are high.

I didn't comment on it the last week but as I rewatched the episode, man AtlurKabuterimon was fucking great. New animation allows him go boxing but I gonna miss the original Horn Buster as I miss Giga Destroyer.

This week Gomamon carried the episode and the bag of potatoes that is his parthner.

Also, Team Taichi is great.

[Mad Pierrot]

Guess they are taking a break before the next forms. Maybe the next episodes will finish the second story arc and Takeru will join in the third?

[FlareKnight]

I sure hope they are going to wait a little bit before having everyone go Mega. Not sure Tokyo can wait the several episodes it would take before everyone gets their respective evolution episode.

Plus about time to get TK into the story here. Not to mention needing to get Kari into this. But that can't happen until we deal with the obvious identity of the holy digimon.

At least everyone is together. So can deal with the immediate situation, possibly head in after the holy digimon and possibly take on what must be a powered up to all heck version of the boss behind this incident.

[BassGSnewtype]

I imagine taking down Orochimon will fix the matters with Tokyo but I could be wrong

[Dj0rel]

So, what is even the point of searching for the holy digimon if the rest of the cast already have access to the perfect level digivolutions. Is Angemon going to have his season 1 power level back?

[B214]

Well they could have Metalgreymon and the others fighting the "big boss", then after their energy is used up Devimon appears.

They point is that they don't even now the what is the holy digimon but they think it can fix everything asap. Also, we don't know how strong is Angemon in this. So far all the Adult level are stronger that their Adventure versions. Or Angemon could go MagnaAngemon in a couple of episodes.

[BassGSnewtype]

Mom, things are escalating again!!!!

[FlareKnight]

On the positive side MetalGreymon realized he had the ability to fire missiles . Been a series of tough situations one after the other since they got into that space. Orochimon was a beast and it isn't even over yet.

Countdown to...something is on!

I think they're treating Giga Destroyer as more of a one shot desperation move over MetalGerymon's go to move first and foremost

[RDNexus]

I'm worried WarGreymon is about to come...
Since its silhouette is shown in the Opening...
It's just that things are progressing hella fast.

[FlareKnight]

Honestly I don't know. Half expecting them to pull the double mega evolution in the next episode or two. One would think the focus on Kari and TK would imply them actually joining the main cast. But it may just be about them powering up their brothers.

Still curious how they are going to handle this. Plenty of implying that they'll both join things at the same time. But will have to see just how it plays out.

Does seem that way with how little it has been used. Got to say the creators really do love MetalGreymon though. Everyone else has basically one move, but he's got at least 3. Not that I blame them. He is pretty awesome. Also I still wonder if that Machinedramon sequence in his evolution means something or it is just a 'hey that looks cool' type of thing.

Well for compasion sake in Savers

Spoiler:

As of the episode 20-25 the MCs have already reach Mega level, that the 3 of them obtained to the same time in the same episode.

As of the episode 36 or so the 4 of them already have reached Mega and they were having their shit kicked by Belphemon that is a Demon Lord so they needed a new level because the power level was scalated and the Mega level was nearly enough.

Even with the Burst Mode superior to Mega they could only vaguely defeat the middle-tier Royal Knights and even they needed team up for that and they couldn't even scratch the upper levels like Dukemon.

Aside of Orochimon or whatever it is evolving into, we know that the enemy side have Ghoulmon, so they better get that Mega because damn if they will need it.
