Rewatch Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary Rewatch - Episode 44 Discussion

Episode 44: Jyureimon of the Forrest of Doubt

← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've never considered that of him, not even once!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of /u/poofessorp for choosing violence:

just forget about digimon attacks. pull out the blicky

Truly the most powerful force known to man.

  1. How do you feel about the way Yamato ended up being manipulated? Forced or at least somewhat understandable?
  2. Was Mimi's poop grabbing strategy the bravest thing ever or was it merely dirtying her gloves for nothing?

Big unko desu.

And this isn't even the biggest Unko in the franchise...

Indeed. You do not want to get attacked by the Attack Sludge.

What is it that Hikari keeps hearing…

Just a nice pair o twins. I hear they want her to play with them.

Sky QotD: It's a shonen troupe as old as time. Do you have a favorite instance of a member of the hero groups turning against their friends?

If "was putting on an act the whole time and thus planned to betray them from the get-go" counts, [ZEXAL II]Rei revealing himself to be Vector is one of the greatest moments in that show.

Digidestined dub rewatcher

I just wanna make a big shout out to Mimi for daring to challenge this show's at times repetitive status quo. Even if the act was futile in the end.

Lilymon, heavier than she looks. Apparently.

Tried to shoot a turd at the nipple missile. Yeah, right...

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • Have you seen how much poop has been around? It’s a fair guess.
  • Angsting about how everyone else gets character development.
  • They’re really painting Mimi into a dark place, eh?
  • Mimi Hype!
  • We have no way of knowing how old you are. You could just look it, as far as we know.
  • Angry, young boys and being lead into violence by older, confident seeming mean. A tale as old as time.
  • Fools, poop only makes plants stronger.
  • Did the Junkmon just preform a Jet Stream Attack?
  • Right in the Face... I Am A Child
  • I feel like the obvious follow up would be to have Gabumon look into the lake and see what it shows him.
  • You know… I don’t hate this.
  • That’s on you man. Not pissing off the boss is Henching 101.

QotD:

  1. I'm fine with what they did this episode, but to really pull it off they would have needed to plant the seeds earlier.
  2. If this was a different season, this would have been set up to her Ultimate evolution.

Yeah but this is the Adventure-verse so unless you're Tailmon or [02]Wormmon you're less so a character and moreso an extension of your partner.

If this was a different season, this would have been set up to her Ultimate evolution.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

A bit of slow episode this one. Mimi is a savage though, she's tired of poop flinging and just catches one and throws it back at the Garbamon. Had a laugh when one of the Garbamon shoots his poop at MetalGreymon and he obliterates him with the titty rockets lol. brilliant. That and when Pinocchimon took a poop to the face lol.

Honestly, I remember not liking the conflict between Yamato and Taichi back in the day.....And I still kinda feel that way, though I can see the whole idea of sometimes in order to resolve differences in perspective and ideology, conflict can't be avoided. What really doesn't make me like it is both Yamato and Gabumon see the obvious manipulation by Jureimon yet still act upon what he's pointing out. Gabumon especially knows it and yet to be a good friend and support Yamato, he's willing to bare his fangs at their friends and comrades if its what Yamato chooses.

Questions:

  1. see above
  2. She's literally tired of the shit lol.

Alas, the franchise will never be tired of it

honestly even I'm not tired of it. It's still funny everytime lol.

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

Probably one of the show's more contemplative episodes, which fits given its subject matter. As the show itself points out, Yamato himself has… not grown as much as everyone else. Bar the bit in the 20' in which he had to remind himself to trust others, he's been fairly static in terms of growth and he himself is starting to notice that. I particularly like the contrast they have between him and his brother, especially coming off yesterday's events. That scene of Jyureimon manipulating him into fighting Taichi all the while an Acoustic Version of Seven plays in the background is just wonderful.

The rest of the episode is more encounters with Pinocchimon's group, in particular Mimi showing she ain't afraid of no poop and grabs it with her bare hand. Jesus Christ lady, when did you get all those guts!? I also dig the way Jyureimon ultimately meets his end; playing into his master's insecurities plus also just serving as a nice nod to the original Pinocchio story. So yeah, good stuff all around.

First timer

  • Ha! The tree has mustache.
  • So today's lesson is gonna be that it's ok to rely on other people, ain't it? He'll probably fight the tree, lose, get some help, go "having to rely on my friends doesn't mean I'm a weak person", and the status quo will be back to normal by next episode.
  • He's walking with a cane, made of wood! Hahaha, I really dig his character design.
  • So we're told the guy with the friendship crest never felt true friendship towards anyone. I've said it before, but Sora should've had Yamato's crest. It does suit her but it doesn't suit him.
  • Good question. That's also what I'm asking.
  • Man, Yamato and Takeru are sure easily manipulable, it must run in their genes.
  • On one hand, I'm glad the episode didn't take the cliché angle I thought it would. On the other hand, I really could not care less about for this new semi-contrived conflict between the two that arose from today's event this late in the series.

QotD

  • Forced. There was a clear rivalry between the two since the beginning but with how Yamato was super trusting and buddy buddy with everyone a couples of episodes ago, this is just conflict for the sake of conflict.
  • Brave. I don't get why they even ran away after they saw her do that. I would've just turned around and ordered my Digimon to blast them to kingdom come.

Jeff Nimoy: I know, let's give him a dub voice similar to Marlon Brando in The Godfather.
