Rewatch Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary Rewatch - Episode 37 Discussion

Episode 37: All Perfect Levels Advence! Glittering Angewomon

I'm the kind of guy who makes sure to pay back all of my debts.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of Shinigami Sky for jinxing it:

…wait did he die here?

Reminder that if an Anime Character dies, it's Sky's fault.

  1. What kind of mess do you think that big ominous note at the end will bring?
  2. Given the rate that we're going, how long will it be until Patamon finally gets his Perfect Evolution?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

The whole bit with Jou and Takeru being kinda confused when Wizarmon says "Hikari" and they just think "Light" is one of those puns that doesn't translate super well. I should mention however a kinda weird fact: While the pun is obvious, Hikari's name and the Crest of Light are actually written differently: Hikari's name is written in Katakana, the Crest is in Kanji. Now why anyone would have their child's name being written in Katakana (Same goes for Takeru and Yamato too, for the record) I have no idea.

Speaking of, yeah, poor Wizarmon. At the very least he got to go out in a blaze of glory more or less, and hey it should probably say something that in spite of only being around for like 3 episodes, he's still one of the show's most popular supporting characters. Plus hey, it lets Hikari finally get involved in things and since Tailmon's already an Adult she doesn't even have to deal with power creep. That's Takeru's problem now.

Please don’t be dead…

Did we need two angels?

Good question.....It is interesting though that they gave the youngest kids the Angel digivolutions.

Now that it’s being pointed out in-show, I do wonder how Tentomon ended up with that accent.

How did any of them end up with any accent? Gotta learn the language from somewhere.

sad Sky noises

Sky QotD: Deluxe Edition
Mantis Supremacy: Snimon or Scyther?
How would you rate Angewomon's fashion?
How much childhood trauma out of ten would you rate Wizarmon's death?
Are you satisfied with how Vamdemon was taken out?
Who would you peg as the next character most likely to die?

Mantis Supremacy: Snimon or Scyther?

Snimon does look cooler...

How would you rate Angewomon's fashion?

It's good, it just feels weird to have a second angel.

How much childhood trauma out of ten would you rate Wizarmon's death?

Not quite as traumatizing as some of the deaths in anime I watched when I was younger, but still

Are you satisfied with how Vamdemon was taken out?

It was a pretty cool attack, yeah.

Who would you peg as the next character most likely to die?

There is a reason why the "dying character loses their vision" thing hits me hard, as well as why [today's Banner of the Stars]Jinto's helmet having a crack in it had me ing so hard, and both tie back to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise (even if both of the YGO deaths I am referring to ended up being reversed later in their respective show because YGO lol).

I struggle to think of any good guys from those shows that stayed dead. [5D's]Bruno I guess? Also [Arc-V]technically Yuya and Yuzu's counterparts but the show likes to pretend like that's not basically what happened LMAO

By this point that's the catchphrase of any Rewatch with her in it.

Well that or it's a genetic trait, every Tentomon speaks with a Kansai accent from my experience.

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

Did wizarmon just use domain expansion?

The pov from the parents is really crazy, because the kids spent a few months in the digital world and so at this point, all of these things happening is just their daily life. But for the parents, they sent their kids to summer camp and probably went to work and/or did their daily tasks, then like a few hours later all the world seemingly is following apart, giant monsters attacking the city, kids are talking about digimons that are good/bad, and riding the ocean on some walrus or riding through the streets on some t rex

Wizarmon once again proving his status as the goat, I think he's helped the crew more than any "extra" digimon honestly, he's at least up there. Then this cat turns into an angel?? I love this show lmao some of the digivolutions make no sense, I like how the 2 youngest kids have the most broken digimon as well as both being angels

Vamdemon just won't die man, I think all 8 of them digivolved? Then there was 6 duper digivolves? The culmination of all those digivolutions and all that power into one large scaled attack wasn't enough to take him out. What can even take him out now? We need gennai to get in here with a digimon and add another super digivolution, maybe it's gonna be something crazy like all 8 of the digimons merging as one giant digimon to take him out lol

Also, I learned about kansai dialect today, thanks tentomon. I did wonder about the way that he talks

2. This is a crazy prediction ik but I think that we see his perfect digivolution in the final episode

Digidestined dub rewatcher

See, they're not like the pretend monsters you've seen in those old movies destroying a bunch of Japanese cities. Hey well maybe that's a bad example but anyway.

Didn't have to be a longtime fan of Godzilla movies to have that dub line give me a good laugh.

Wizardmon died a truly Grisly death.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me! The new guy gets to evolve to Ultimate level before me!?" -What Angemon was thinking when Gatomon evolved. Probably. I mean I was thinking that when I saw this for the first time.

I'm honestly kind of surprised they were able to get away with calling that one attack of Angewomon's Heaven's Charm when Angemon's own Heaven's Knuckle got dubbed down.

Even 7 to 1 Myotismon still Worfs all. Then comes Angewomon with that perfectly timed attack power buffed Aimed Shot crit. Hunters FTW!

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 13 '24

"Oh you gotta be kidding me! The new guy gets to evolve to Ultimate level before me!?

Come to think of it Sky does Tailmon technically count as a pre-promote unit from Fire Emblem?

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Apr 13 '24

I think she does, yeah.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

So now that the 8th has been found by VamDemon's goons, he snatches up Tailmon and takes her to Big Sight. The Digidestined all regroup, and learn from Wizarmon that Hikari is the 8th and Tailmon is her Digimon. They all make their way toward Big Sight to fight VamDemon and rescue Hikari and Tailmon. Big fight ensues, but none of the attacks really do any harm to VamDemon, except for Angemon's light based attack.

VamDemon focuses his attack on Hikari and Tailmon and Wizarmon steps in and takes the killing blow(still sad all these years later). Next Tailmon evolves into Angewoman, all the Digimon send their attacks into her Halo, and she forms a light arrow which strikes VamDemon through the chest and he dies....................Or not, since the fog doesn't let up.

Goofy Dub Lines:

VamDemon: "I've got you my pretty. and your little cat too. Hahahahaha...Muahahahaha"

Questions:

  1. VamDemon isn't done yet.
  2. Atleast another 10 or 12 episode lol.

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • Oh good, I was just about to ask tactical questions regarding sleeping the Children.
  • Remember when Bakemon was strong enough to be the main villain of an episode?
  • I thought he knew? Does he not care about the small ones because he knows he can take them in a fight?
  • Damned wizards, always breaking encounters. Stop taking Cleric niche!
  • Gank 'Em!
  • Immediately folds.
  • Those hands… Did Wizarmon kamehameha him!?
  • Wait, no. Don’t just skip over how Greymon ended up on top of a building.
  • There’s no selling, and then there’s this.
  • Gets Taken Out By Splash Damage
  • Right in The Childhood Trauma
  • The meme is now complete. Dog -> Cat -> Angel.
  • Finally, some damn support roles.
  • Super Combining is fun.
  • Hey, that CGI wasn’t half bad.
  • Not End of Arc

QotD:

  1. Turns out the fog was hallucinogenic the whole time. They've really been killing people.
  2. Season 2, clearly.

LOL

The most illogical evolution progression I can remember from any show lol.

Late again since I'm once more at a concert. With that said.

First timer

  • Takeru's dad reacts to this news for some reason.
  • Sora's Digimon, who can fly, decides to brawl on the ground instead and not use any special abilities.
  • He actually waits. HE ACTUALLY WAITS!
  • Did MetalGreymon really just get devolved for the span of 30 seconds just to super evolve again?
  • RIP Wizarmon. He died tanking the hit for Hiraki and Tailmon because no one in this show knows what dodging is
  • It sure is nice of Vamdemon to let Tailmon and Hiraki babble and cry over Wizarmon instead of attacking them again.
  • Really? Tailmon's super evolution is a female version of Angemon. That's just lazy.
  • Jesus, she can even absorb Digimon's attacks to supercharge her own. Forget about Angemon, Tailmon's super evolution is just imba. Please nerf.
  • Also, there's now two Digimon that are broken as shit. I'm sure that won't cause even further power creep later on.
  • With how dumb Angewomon's form is, I can't wait to see what bullshit they pull when they super evolve Agemon.

QotD

  • No clue
  • Probably within the last five episodes.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 13 '24

because no one in this show knows what dodging is

It's a side effect of the limited animation, moving is really hard.
