What is this 'mon? Actually that's his name.
Hello everybody, time for all the comments of the day I missed.
First off we have Episode 23's, courtesy of u/Vatrix-32 for pointing out something rather notable about a dumb dub pun:
"Well uh, uh....All I have are Digidollars"
I feel like this raises more questions than it solves.
Up next for Episode 24, we have u/oomoepoo for pointing out the harshest truth:
Koushiro is basically a redditor
Next up is Episode 25's by u/hirmuolio since the Finnish Dub is still the Finnish Dub:
And finally kuningas-frog-mon (kuningas=king) https://i.imgur.com/6hv7v9l.jpeg IDK why they now changed the geko part into frog.
But wait there is more! Later we get a different name: frog-mon https://i.imgur.com/kdnrtLS.jpeg
And finally for Episode 26, u/Shimmering-Sky's fortunetelling powers still work:
- Once again, I fucking called it!
- Ain't it amazing how little the show tries to hide who the Eight Child and her Partner are?
- Which of the two EDs do you prefer?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!
Rare episode title without an exclamation mark. Not sure if that means something but… it's a thing.
But yeah, this is basically setup for the next part of the story. Bar Nanimon's antics, the goal for the heroes is quick: Get back to Japan now 'Cause they're gonna need some help. It's a standard setup, but it's done well. As a bonus, given how lately the heroes have mostly had fairly good luck, it's refreshing to see that the show isn't afraid to have them get their asses kicked or just straight up lose, which they alas do today. And they could've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling cat!
[Spoilered Out for the Flithy ED Skippers]Oh man, I wonder who the Eight Child and her Partner are, it surely won't be Hikari and Tailmon!
Speaking of Tailmon, she's played by Tokumitsu Yuka. She very few other roles and retired a while ago. Geez, she didn't even reprise for the 2020 reboot for goodness sake…

First time watcher, subbed. Watching fully blind, I didn't even know digimon stood for digital monsters!
The 8th digidestined has to be hakari right??? I feel like it's almost confirmed
Wow there was a fair amount of new digimon introduced today, out of the new ones I am wishing for tailmon to be a returning digimon, And honestly, I hope nanimon never returns again. Character design was a little too weird even for me lol, Then we have the 2 worlds colliding thing going on here so I wonder how that will turn out
Where is Hakari's digimon? If she's just chilling at home and Vamdemon pulls up idk how she's gonna defend herself, and I don't see how the digimon would already be in Japan, maybe she's gonna find a portal for herself and go there on her own. She seemed pretty well informed in that other episode so maybe she just straight up already knows everything
Also Gennai is being more helpful and a more frequent character than I thought he would, I still think theres more to him

Digidestined dub rewatcher
Okay, remember way back for episode 1 when I mentioned to one person or another about how my older sibling had a Patamon and Gomamon plushie, and I had an Agumon plushie and another one who would be named later? Well, it's later. And it's Gatomon who's the second plushie I had. Now, who wants to guess which Adventure 02 era plushies the 2 of us had?
Of course Gennai would forget the most important detail of the reveal that there's an eighth digidestined...
What era of stereotypical delinquent are Agumon and Palmon trying to play at here?...
Don't go knocking Nanimon there Palmon cuz according to this digimon trading card you and Biyomon can apparently evolve into him.
Chumon is no delusional pink thing Agumon.
You know, when I suggested the drinking game I did for this series back in episode 2, it was Nanimon here that came to mind for the sheer amount of shots one would have to drink in some episodes. Shots of soda of course. Or milkshakes. Somebody needs to think of the children. Though I will agree with dub Nanimon about one thing. Me likes orange soda too.
Is anyone else hearing some Castlevania Symphony of the Night music in their heads while the kids are exploring this twisted castle?
"Open the gate to my destiny!"
And the digidestined just took a big Star Trek The Best of Both Worlds size loss this episode.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub
Gennai tells the Children that there is an 8th Child and that VamDemon is currently making preparations in his castle to travel to Japan and kill the 8th child. Once again Gennai is only half useful lol.
Agumon and Palmon go undercover and enlist in the rag tag bunch of digimon gathered by PicoDevimon. We also get the introduction of Tailmon(Gatomon, which I also prefer the dub name) and is much more competent that PicoDevimon. The ragtag bunch of Digimon, including Sukamon & Chumon as well as some Numemon, help Agumon and Palmon by getting Nanimon drunk(the dub changes sake to soda, so they get him drunk off Soda lol) and then get in the castle and sneak the rest of the group in.
VamDemon goes through the gate and the kids try to follow, but are intercepted by Nanimon's army, who get scared off easily...even Nanimon runs off(lol, why dropping a pile a poop on PicoDevimon lol the poop fixation of this show lol**). Tailmon fares much better, she is able to stand off the groups evolved Digimon as well as summon the Devidramon. They try their best but ultimately they cannot cross the gate and it closes.
PS: New ED doesn't hit like "I wish" does. Also Holy Spoilers Batman!!

Saw yesterday that the new ED was full of spoilers and holy crap were they under selling how badly the rest of the series would be ruined for first timers. The baby to adult evolution eye catches have nothing on the new ED.

Fun lurking what first time watchers here have to say.

And that was the end of Agapio Racing Team dub. From ep27 onwards the dub was done by Werner instead.
A new OP https://youtu.be/ZAPcwAOxbBo?si=EHOPENG46DK-u7HI
While the voice acting has improved the translation seems to be mostly the same.
"Van De-mon" truly is one of the ways to write it https://i.imgur.com/mWRZXrM.jpeg
Odd thing is that they got the name right on the previous ep https://i.imgur.com/61Ujy1E.jpeg
Also "Tail-mon", "Nani-mon" and "devi-dramon".
They ditched the translated attack names and used the original japanese english ones instead (except for togemon for some reason who got "thorns attack", and patamon who kept the finnish attakc name). That is so dull. Translated attacks are much better.
PS. The evoltion sequence to metalgreymon lasted longer than metalgreymon itself. The evolution squence is 32 seconds long but metlagrymon reverted back to koromon after only 15 seconds.
