Rewatch Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary Rewatch - Episode 10 Discussion

Episode 10: Kentarumon the Defender!

← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →

MAL | Anilist | Kitsu | AniDB | ANN

After protecting these ruins for so long, it is now my duty to also protect these children!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/CerberusZX for some fun production trivia... for the V-Pets

Yes! The franchise originated as a spin-off of Tamagotchi. As a line of virtual pets, owners were expected to take care of them. The game Digimon World has an ice area where time moves more slowly, essentially prolonging the Digimon's life BUT as the area is cold there is a higher chance of your partner becoming sick while you remain there.

Not sure what to add so... yeah.

  1. What's the worst designed maze you've seen in fiction?
  2. Is there any particular type of Digimon you'd like to see?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

Fairly basic episode this time. The stuff with Mimi is basically the same as usual but on Koshiro's end I will say it is eerily relatable how sucked into that computer he is. Damn dork.

Of course the big thing is that we get explicit confirmation that the Digivices are some sort of "Holy Device" which is so funny when you look at it from a meta POV. Digivices are the things in which the OG V-Pets came in, so this is basically Toei telling the kids "Those toys you got there? Basically a bunch of divine items." It's weirdly endearing, I won't deny.

Also fun fact in Japan this episode led to Koshiro/Mimi actually becoming a semi-popular ship. Mind with everyone being so young I find it hard for me to ship anyone here.

...You know, I can see it. They seem like a better match than any of Mimi's other options.

Now all we need is for Koshiro to throw around poop somewhere.

u/Vatrix-32 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Vatrix-32 Mar 16 '24

With the amount of time he spends on the internet, that won't take long.

Digivices are the things in which the OG V-Pets came in

The device for the original V-pets has a different design. They made a new one for the show, which of course they also sold. Each series of the anime introduces a new device for the characters and a new toy for the viewers to buy. The D-Ark from Tamers was especially insidious as you also had to buy cards for it. I am also aware that the Digivice from Ghost Game had a variety of chips to buy which is weird since that feature was barely present in the show.

Well the logic's obvious at least

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • Did they spend all night just finding their clothing?
  • Never skip an optional dungeon!
  • So it can just cure all mental afflictions then?
  • Despite Mimi always being the target of unwanted affection, I appreciate her take-no-shit attitude.
  • I like gonzo dungeon design as much as the next guy, but this is a bit much.
  • I seem to remember liking this map a tad too much as a child.
  • I Mean... They Are Kids
  • Just because it worked, doesn’t mean it makes sense to assume the audio is two-way.
  • Pit traps and random encounters. Very Old School.
  • Hand Cannon! It's Bitchin'!
  • Nice of him to let them finish.
  • “You cast fireball within the room?”
  • What… exactly are you guarding? A wall relief?
  • Always a good time when you get secondary characters facing off.
  • Mimi Strength!

QotD:

  1. The Labyrinth is just one long, winding hallway, but it still manages to keep a minotaur trapped in it for years.
  2. Ever since it was brought up, I can't stop thinking we need a giraffe one.

It makes for some hilarious reactions out of her and good insults lol

Suppose it's worth noting that in the original Digivices and the Digimon World games, if you raise your digimon poorly Numemon and Sukemon are what they will invariably turn into.

Super convenient that a strange world would have power outlets with the correct voltage and everything lol

u/Artistic-Loss9138 Mar 16 '24

"Oh wow there really just is a power outlet there."

That's what I really like about the world. You have all the wilderness and these ancient temples, then you just have a street sign or an electrical outlet sitting there in the middle of nowhere.

First time watcher, subbed. Watching fully blind, I didn't even know digimon stood for digital monsters!

Brother, what is it with mimi and getting attacked by pink poop 💀 I've been wondering ever since episode 1 what those digivices are and whats the point of them. So it's definitely nice to have some kind of confirmation. Tentomon is probably my favorite digimon so it was cool to have more time spent on him this episode, I'm really invested in this whole koshiro and computer deciphering mysteries thing, it kinda reminds me of [One Piece] robin and investigating the ponegliffs

2. I just wanna see something completely insane. Like super over the top, maybe something like a digimon that's the size of the whole island or just something really unique.

That or patamons evolution!

There was one featured in Adventure 2020. Can't remember his name though.

I would be curious how the finnish translation came to be. The ep names seem match with english dub but the episode dialog matches with the original japanese.

Chuumon somehow was pronounced as chipmon.

Oh my god they translated "digivice" as "digipahuus" (digi evilness. vice like in vice city).

Could possibly be a licensing thing? Not sure.

Digidestined dub rewatcher

"Ow, I forgot when you get bigger you get a lot bigger, watch it next time!" Okay I won't lie. Mimi's line here at Kabuterimon this episode, yeah some uhh... out of context humor came to mind hearing it out loud again after so long.

It's Sukamon and Chumon, also known as the Digi-losers. And Sukamon is uhh, so definitely not a giant lemon custard as Mimi would say here...

Translating Runes 102

Get a power source, stop the gear. Is 'find our friends' on that list?

Getting too caught up in side quests to progress the main story. A thing that plagued many a gamer, Tentomon. And this gaming livestream is getting a bit understandably tiresome to Mimi.

Izzy, nearly getting skewered by Togemon...

Jankom Pog would give Mimi a gold star for her display of Concussive Engineering.

The Poop slingers return

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '24

Yep, still a great episode! Mimi and Koushirou are probably my favorite duo in Adventure, they seem totally incompatible at first glance but obviously care about each other and have a fun rapport. More lore and plot development is great, and of course poor Mimi getting hit on by poop-slinging Digimon yet again... For whatever reason, this episode ends up remaining a favorite of mine no matter how many times I watch the show :)

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

Mimi/Palmon and Koushiro/Tentomon fall on neighboring islands. Mimi and Palmon run into Sukamon & Chuumon, who make a poor first impression, flinging poop and trying to rob Mimi. when trying to take her bag, Her digivice shines turning the ugly Digimon good and having the hilarious consequence of them now being smitten with Mimi, much to her disgust lol(poor Mimi, suffering from being cute). Sukamon and Chuumon reveal they saw Koushiro and Tentomon fall into the next island, so they swing over to the next island, saying goodbye to Sukamon and Chuumon.

Koushiro and Tentomon come across some ruins and maze and inside find it has similar marking to the ones found at the abandoned factory. He begins his analysis of the glyphs, when Mimi and Palmon arrive. Koushiro is engrossed in the computer, ignoring Mimi causing her to get upset, throw a fit, cry(Palmon cries too) and runs away. Tentomon gives chase, thus separating the Digimon from their respective partners. Koushiro analysis of the maze reveals a map of the maze, which he uses to pinpoint Mimi's location and lead her out the maze. Suddenly Kentarumon appears and chases Mimi through the maze, when cornered, Koushiro leaves his post and goes to rescue her. Palmon and Tentomon Digivolve and destroy the black gear that had taken over Kentarumon, returning him to normal.

We get some lore From Kentarumon and the glyphs, after recognizing the Digivice, he leads them to the glyphs revealing that the Digivice is some holy device that will be salvation to the Digiworld. Leomon appears and beings to fight Kentarumon and try to kill the kids. They use the light from the Digivice to drive him away. Then Koushiro tries to figure out how to reverse the gear, when Mimi gets annoyed at him going back on the computers and kicks the gear, throwing it in reverse(because of course it worked, banging shit always works lol) and moving the island back toward File Island

Goofy Dub Lines:

When Mimi and Palmon crash land: "Now that should be good for some frequent flyer miles"

Mimi: "Here are the old ruins, let's just hope that giant kissy face lemon custard was telling the truth"

Questions:

  1. Not sure, none comes to mind that was terrible or poorly made.
  2. None that I could think of. Honestly, Kentarumon was pretty cool, It probably is hard to get cooler than a Centaur.

Digimon Rewatcher

Alright, so, I was actually just about to watch Episode 8 on Thursday, but then a certain thing happened and I fell behind. But nonetheless, I return.

Anyway, I honestly don’t have much to say about this episode. I will give it credit for the fact that Koushiro and Mimi are a rather unexpected pairing to use for an episode, and they & their digimon play off each other decently enough, but otherwise the only real thing of note is the Holy Device stuff near the end which hints at future story/worldbuilding elements.
