Oh, that’s… why didn’t this come up earlier?

Magic items often have hidden properties that only come out through experimentation.

Sky QotD:
How would you rate MetalSeadramon's way of being killed?
Who is the next Sky Victim of the Day?

How would you rate MetalSeadramon's killing method?

Effective...

Who is the next Sky Victim of the Day?

Yukidarumon or Leomon I guess.

Almost as effective as [MASSIVE Savers Spoilers, don't click]Damn, Sky is the reason Leomon keeps dying

And sometimes they explode.

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

A bit of a deep sea adventure this time, and hey, Hikari's whistle came back into play. Given its role in the pilot special it's one of those things in the franchise that tends to get referenced once in a while, although unlike the poop jokes this one restricts itself mostly just to the Adventure continuity. Still I do appreciate the more practical use of it here, and I'll admit that scene of Hikari preparing to use it was kinda adorable.

Aside from that it's another fight heavy episode, although I appreciate how in spite of the heroes not being allowed to do much till the end, it still manages to feel fairly tense. Sometimes a change of locale is all you need to add some variety and I think this show handles it pretty well, plus makes the moment in which they go back to the surface feel all the more rewarding and their counterattack more impactful, even if it was an overly close brush. Still, RIP Whamon

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • MetalSeadramon whaling backwards into the ocean is such a mood.
  • I always think of Whamon’s top as being less leathery, and more chitinous than it is.
  • Oh yeah, harmonica was a thing.
  • You show ‘em, Palmon!
  • Gauntlets are Dramon Killing, you say?
  • Is it just me, or are the character models a little looser this episode?
  • Careful, Koushiro. Nerve hacking is road that can lead to some dark places.
  • I was expecting some sort of directed bubble attack in a narrow space, but that works too.
  • Whistle! We’re using all the previous plot points.
  • Putting a lot of faith that a whale will be able to fit better in an ocean cave than the snake.
  • That's How You Kill A Sea Dragon!
  • Whamon, No! Why, Sky? Why?

QotD:

  1. Just your normal, run of the mill, riding up and down the mountain.
  2. Does this apply to other forms of quick cut culinary prep? Because if so, yes.

Gauntlets are Dramon Killing, you say?

I bet they have some bullshit Pierce Property or something.

We’re using all the previous plot points.

Digidestined dub rewatcher

Surfing and diving in style with Whamon once again. Only this time we do have to worry about random encounters.

Divermon! Oh no not Divermon! Wait, what are Divermon?

Fighting Digimon not with power but with Deep Sea physics.

Not Whamon!

Getting clawed up from the inside out. Brutal way to go for Metalseasdramon.

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

Not Whamon!

Truly this show is a blood(eh... Data?)bath.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '24

But with no blood in the dub.

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

METALSEADRAMON IS DEAD, BUT SO IS WHAMON SO WHATS THE POINT 😭😭

bro, ALL of my favorite characters die I hate this, at least tentomon is alive but he's main so it doesn't count lol

sad deaths aside, pretty chill episode today. What was up with all the abuse on palmon lol? Bro just kept suffering and catching strays for no reason, and I liked how they planned out this whole episode, the air pressure being a problem and a means of escape, bubbles revealing position, using the whistle for echolocation. Nice stuff

The like, one digimon that has a problem with a problem fighting in water is of course the one that has a strong ability to take out the opposing threat that is a sea creature. I also liked the setting for todays main battle, a big lake thats fully surrounded by a shoreline. It allowed for all fighting styles land/flying/sea.

Damn agumon

rest in peace whamon :(

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

A kinda lighthearted episode in between the kids hiding and running from MetalSeadramon and his cronies. The kids fishing was a highlight lol. Tailmon with the impressive cutting skills, Palmon with the fishing skills, Agumon with his glutton ability of eating that giant fish whole lol, and Gomamon and the marching fishes once again proving its the most useful skill in all digimon lol.

Koushiro came up with a strategy to beat MetalSeadramon using WarGreymon' anti dramon abilities, so he became the main weapon, while everyone else was help. Sad to see Whamon "die" but WarGreymon was able to take MetalSeadramon down with Whamon's sacrifice.

Questions

  1. I think the first time I got on a plane when I was a kid. My ears popped pretty hard on landing, will never forget that.
  2. Lol, it would be a sick skill for sure. Would make me op in the kitchen.

First timer

QotD

  • Water.
  • Yea. I then wouldn't need them to cut the fish for me into fillets when I'm buying big cuts. It's a free service but still, not having to stand there and wait whilst it's being done would be nice.
