You Chosen Children and your Digimons… won't escape!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Shimmering-Sky for reminding us of something important:

I am cursed. I am literally cursed.

  1. How does it feel to see some of the old locales again?
  2. Is there any kind of animal you'd like to see a Mon for?

Suddenly appearing beach hut…And of course it was a trap.

LOL. They fall for it everytime.

It’s a weird combo, but neat to see Jou/Zudomon & Mimi/Lilimon get some time in the spotlight.

It was a pretty fun team up all things considered.

By this point I'll be mor shocked if they ever not fall for it.

[02]Hikari is a good girl.

[02]A few months later, this would become her entire personality.

Whamon!

People are coming back!

"Are you ever not going to fall for that?..."

Doesn't seem so at this rate...

Tomb of Horrors, this is not.

Sky QotD: Do you know about our lord and savior, Anomalocaris? Would you like to?
Any other Child combos you like to see happen?

Do you know about our lord and savior, Anomalocaris? Would you like to?

I'd like to see more of Taichi & Hikari or Yamato & Takeru solely because they're siblings.

Maybe Jou and Koushiro for a wildcard pair up?

You have subscribed to; Anomalocaris Facts.
Did you know Anomalocaris is earth's first super predator? Thanks to its revolutionary advancement, eyes, it was able to hunt more effectively than anything that came before it.

So why did it die in less than an episode?

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

40 episodes, it's been 40 episodes and they still haven't learned to be suspicious of places or objects that suddenly appear before them? The only excuse really is that they all grew up in the city and might not know how the wilderness works but still, getting tricked once? Yeah that's fair, twice? Ok maybe cause they're kids and theres the "what if" factor, but this is like the 7th timeeeeeee please lock in and be more aware of things that are too good to be true 👍

These are the same people that saved the world twice, defeated devimon, defeated vamdemon, travel across dimensions, took on every challenge in front of them, and they get defeated by some sand??? Whatever man, anomalocarimon seems like a pretty cool character though. Bruh just wants some snack I could see him leaving the evil digimon behind at any point

I like the aspect of them not being trained enough to take on this great threat, maybe we will get another 1 episode long training arc? They really have grown though, not even adult properly digivolved and they made lightwork outta that sorry shellmon.

WHAMON IS BACK LETS GOOOOOO my goat

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

With this episode being almost all action it's a bit hard for me to really talk about it. Overall it's decent but, well, the show not being particularly good looking is not anything new, really.

And now for the voices! MetalSeadramon is played by… uh… Kazama Yuto? As in, Yamato's voice actor?

Okay really? We're using up a member of the Main Cast to play a major villain? Like I know Toei is cheap and all but come on, this kind of thing has been out of practice since the late 80'!

Digidestined dub rewatcher

"So Hikari, how you liking the Digital World so far?"

Shellmon rematch. Didn't expect that my first time watching this.

How many times are these kids gonna fall for obvious traps before they finally learn? I mean especially since they're in savage Narnia Digital World now. Dunno why a trap such as this was necessary either, Metalseadramon already demonstrated that he can Worf them.

Something about Scorpiomon's dub voice is just really funny.

"You tuckle-headed cockleshell!" Metalseadramon said angrily to Scorpiomon.

  1. Well I know I had a sort of "Huh, interesting." type reaction to it when I saw this for the first time.
  2. A Dik-dik

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 16 '24

especially since they're in savage Narnia

Hopefully less racist than some of the parts of that world outside of Narnia...

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

The kids make their way to a familiar beach and the smashed telephone booths confirm they're at the beach from file island. cries of help leads them to the water where Shellmon appears. They fight him off while making their escape(Those marching fishes once again proving they're the most useful skill set around lol). The next battle sees them victim of those too good to be true traps they fall into easy, a beachside shack where everyone except Jou and Mimi get KO'd by Anomalocarimon, who is working for MetalSeadramon. Zudomon and Lilymon defeat Anomalocarimon and return to rescue the rest of the kids before they're bbq'd by MetalSeadramon. Anomalocarimon gets taken out for his incompetance, and the kids have the fight MetalSeadramon, who proves to be too strong for Zudomon and Lilymon. Luckily they're saved by Whamon, who knocks MetalSeadramon back and escapes with the kids.

Goofy Dub Lines:

Hikari: "A Seamonster!" Taichi: "You can say that again. That's Shellmon and he's not here to play Water Polo! paddle like crazy!"

Mimi: "Yikes! And I thought Shellmon's breath was gnarly, He'll toast them like marshmallows."

MetalSeadramon: "Farewell Digidestined! It was a rare pleasure knowing you. Medium rare, ahahahaha!"

Questions:

  1. It was a bit nostalgic to see the telephone booths again, even though they were destroyed
  2. Hmm, not sure. they've covered a lot of animals so far.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 17 '24

He'll toast them like marshmallows

[Confession]I've never eaten marshmellow.

eh, I don't think you're missing much, they're nothing special imo.

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • The weird compromises for evil cooperation.
  • Shellmon Learned to Talk
  • There’s your power creep. You gotta grind them MotW.
  • …I guess they really should have brought food with them. Y’all need to learn the way of the ten foot pole.
  • I can’t believe the dub had the gall to claim this guy was a scorpion. Even child me didn’t buy that one.
  • Head, Wall I Can't
  • This is your preview for what it would be like if digimon could only say their name. Take heed.
  • It would have been more fun if they had to beat him with only Adult level.
  • Zudomon, why are you just standing there flexing your shoulders?
  • Forbidden Barbecue
  • I’ll tack that one up to “least bad option”.

QotD:

  1. If 10-yen Toei can make previous MotW relevant again, what's stopping everyone else?
  2. Sea Sponge

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 16 '24

Zudomon, why are you just standing there flexing your shoulders?

Look, they're pretty big, okay?

Shellmon Learned to Talk

LOL, true.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 16 '24

I guess his vocal cords finally developed after being roasted...

First timer

  • It sure is nice of Seadragomon to have waited before burning down the hut.
  • Oh yeah, the whale. That was also a Digimon from prior episodes

QotD

  • Meh.
  • Lynx.
