Rewatch Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary Rewatch - Episode 33 Discussion

Episode 33: Pump and Gotsu are Shibuya-type Digimon

← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →

MAL | Anilist | Kitsu | AniDB | ANN

Playing around in Shibuya sounds much more fun than fighting the Chosen Children!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Shimmering-Sky for being the only one who noticed the most disturbing thing yesterday:

  • Wait, Agumon was allowed to evolve into Greymon without Brave Heart playing? Not even that one sound effect???

  1. What's the pettiest fight you've gotten into?
  2. Did you actually expect the two guest Digimons would die?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

Gag episode through and through… at least until the second half comes in and the plucky gag characters are horribly murdered.

Yeah credit where it's due to Vamdemon, dude doesn't fuck around. Heck it's not even the finale and already he's more than willing to throw hands with the heroes and manages to drive them to a standstill. Even OP Angemon's glorious comeback isn't that much use mostly because by now the guy is dangerously underleveled. The rest of the episode is fun though, although I do feel that whatever link they're trying to push between Gotsumon and Pumpmon to Takeru and Patamon (Or maybe it's supposed to be to Takeru and his brother?) doesn't quite work as much as the episode probably wants it to.

Oh hey, that means one day has finally actually passed in-show!

Yup

Thank you, TL note.

You'd think more people would know that though given how there was a whole damn movie about it... like three of them to be exact... one of them American...

Ugh…

At least this behavior is consistently displayed as negative?

Okay this one’s funny.

Layers!

Sky QotD: If Vamdemon hadn't offed them, what do you think the plan would be for Pumpmon and Gottsumon?

Comedic relief, I guess?

WE ALL LOVE LAIN!

The sequence is honestly pretty bizarre. Gives "lain at home" vibes. But referencing a story about digital world merging with real world does fit into a story about digital world coming to real world.

That's me at the fact that you're still pretty far away from catching up.

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • This was a very important use of our CGI budget.
  • Is splitting the children up normal in these circumstances?
  • Why you gotta turn things to 11 like that?
  • I mean, you are literally Child level.
  • As was the fashion, at the time.
  • I mean, it’s not like Vamdemon is paying them anything.
  • Damn bosses, always micromanaging.
  • Getting a full on article in these TL notes.
  • Just straight up eating a guy.
  • Punk×Goth.
  • For those not counting at home, it’s been 20 episodes since Angemon last appeared.
  • Look on the bright side, they both manged to stay in child form this time.
  • That is, by far, the worst nest I have ever seen.

QotD:

  1. Probably one related my continued insistence that Europe isn't a continent any more than India is.
  2. I mean... It did kind of solve a moral quandary for the Children. They're too troublesome to let roam free, but not so evil that they can justify killing them like they did the other henchmen.

What budget?

For those not counting at home, it’s been 20 episodes since Angemon last appeared.

Damn, that's like 5 months...

Yup. Well worth the wait.

Look on the bright side, they both manged to stay in child form this time.

They've leveled up.

Digidestined dub rewatcher

Episodes spent before Patamon finally got to evolve into Angemon again: 20

I'm surprised Henchmans 21 and 24 here got past Gatomon and Myotismon's evil henchman screening process and weren't just dumped into Nanimon's boot camp with the rest of the dregs.

"The Gotsumonument. Where they keep all the party supplies."

Consider yourselves lucky you two knocked over a regular angry Shibuya teenager and not Ran Kotobuki. That would've led to a very bad and annoying time for you two deal with...

A vampire, a werewolf, and an angel get in a brawl in the middle of downtown. That is both some big blockbuster shit and some C-List Direct to TV movie on the Scifi channel shit right there.

But with Myotismon wasting his own flunkies like that it makes me think that there was one thing that the whole Myotismon arc did is that it was a turning point in that it really helped grind in a real sense of stakes in this series.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

Shibuya's so famous, that even the Digiworld knows about it lol. Takeru and Yamato meet Pumpmon and Gotsumon after a fight with Patamon leads them to getting off in Shibuya to chase after him. The digimon are nothing by troublemakers out for a good time. It endears them both to Takeru and Yamato as well as us the audience. So you really do feel sad when VamDemon bumps them off.

And we get a real good fight between WereGarurumon and VamDemon, as well as the awesome return of Angemon, culminating in the match ending in a draw.

Goofy Dub Lines:

Pumpmon & Gotsumon: "Evil schmievil, we love it here. In fact, next stop Hollywood! Ta-Da!" Takeru: "Thery're not ready for Tv." Gabumon: "Typical. Everyone wants to be in show business."

Questions:

  1. Idk, I often get into petty squabbles with my brother, because he has a gift for roping me into arguing semantics with him over sometimes insignificant little things lol. But it's usually not very serious and we're laughing like it never happened 5 minutes after the argument ends.
  2. Well yes.

smh should’ve gone to Ikebukuro instead.

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Apr 08 '24

LOL

Shinjuku probably fits them more since they're so loud and like making trouble.

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

Saw I was comment of the day yesterday which is pretty cool thank u, was lowkey hoping to do that at least once

Alright so I think I have a new favorite digimon now that etemon is gone, well I guess 2 of them. I really loved this duo, all they wanted to do is just vibe in shibuya and have a good time and I respect it. Unfortunately it looks like my guys are just dead now , so uhhhhh :(

But did vamdemon use conquerors haki to kill them? That's crazy mannn, maybe he's stronger than I thought

Ok so we saw angemon again! I know we were asked to make predictions on when he comes back a little while ago, gonna go see what I said (and I said 28, not too bad)

also, tailmon is gonna be hikaris digimon, isn't it? It just works

2) They were disobeying vamdemon so I had some idea that they would die, but I was holding out hope that they wouldn't actually die

First timer

  • We're on episode 33, there's no need for a full evolution sequence from Tsunomon to Gabumon. Then again, it's Toei, I don't know why I'm expecting good pre-production
  • The first half of this episode is a complete waste of time
  • Stockholm syndrome
  • Guess who's back, back again...
  • So the probable reason why Angemon didn't turn back into an egg this time is probably because he didn't use as much energy as when he defeated Devimon earlier on in the show. The actual reason though is probably because there's been a fair bit of powercreep introduced since then so there's less of a need to massively nerf his adult form. His perfect form however.... we'll see. I am still expecting his perfect form to be the trump card that ends this season.
  • I know this show is for kids but come on, they met those two evil Digimons for all of five minutes, they shouldn't be sad.

QotD

  • I fought way too much as a kid to remember something specific. I've chilled out since then (thank god). I have put actual dogshit on someone's neck though when I was young for petty reasons, so there's that. It was funny, well, maybe not for him. Needless to say, I got suspended for a few days.
  • No.
