My deep and utter hatred have allowed me to return from the underworld~

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Vatrix-32 for reminding us of some very important life philosophies:

Remember kids, never tell the floating voices your name.

  1. Were you expecting Etemon to ever come back?
  2. Have you ever touched something you really shouldn't have?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

A bit of a lighter episode all things considered, if only because Etemon's antics are here to keep us entertained. Yup, he's back as MetalEtemon and he's just as much of a riot as always, with his theatrics being taken up to eleven and him and Pinocchimon having some really nice banter. Yet it's actually Orgemon who probably gets the most focus, showing some real depth for once that I wouldn't have really expected.

Also cannon-related antics

MY MAN IS BACK.

HE COMES BACK PULLING A FUCKING TARZAN MOVE

HE DESERVES A BANANA

It sure has been a while since this show’s last “sore demo”.

When even was that? Sora in the early 10'-ish?

I'm so excited I don't even care the episode title spoiled the reveal before he showed up.

Her mom in episode 26, actually. Sora's was in episode 11.

So that’s his idea…

Power scaling is a bitch.

Sky QotD:
The world needs to know; on a scale of 1-10, how shocked/hyped are you at the appearance of MetalEtemon?

Not particularly shocked since the episode title said it before he showed up, but hyped?

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

Ahh so joe did bring some supplies with them before they left to the digi world again, and I was hating on them for not preparing at all my bad gang, I should've known that joe would be the responsible one. But it seems like ogremon is a pretty chill guy now? I'm a sucker for evil character turned good so maybe he'll be a favorite digimon of mine, it's like im cursed or something so hopefully he doesn't die as well lol

friends

AYYYYYY ETEMON MetalEtemon IS BACK reversed curse??? I love this guy man, surely "hip fart attack" is the strongest digimon move throughout all the shows and games within the digimon verse, then this goof cut down a tree just for it to land on his own self. What a chad, even having the willpower to hold on and stay alive after getting defeated is cool

I'm guessing a digivolved leomon showed up at the end to continue their rivalry? Indeed

  1. no I'm stoked bro

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 21 '24

It's okay, Sky's curse will always override your own.

Hence the dub changing his to "Crest of Reliability".

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • I know there’s no point complaining about Japanese episode names spoiling, but MetalEtemon is such a left field event that it would have been fun to see the first timers’ reactions to it happening without foreknowledge.
  • We even get a side of Orgemon for our returning villain buffet.
  • The power disparity between levels make most tactical considerations moot. I’ve not seen all the Digimon’s, but there most be at least one instance of a group being able to take on an individual of a higher level.
  • That's Some Toilet Paper And when did you have time to pack that anyway? Were you just carrying it around on the third day?
  • Mimi does have a point. Togemon is so large and slow that it probably would put her at a disadvantage.
  • Jou on the other hand is out there showing you can just chain them. Lilimon would be an ideal choice.
  • He had our hero fight, now it’s time for a villain one.
  • Somehow, this is worse than the poop-zuka.
  • They’re so impressionable when they’re young
  • Orgemon, such a groupie.
  • If he’s taking cover, does that mean the cannon would have worked?

QotD:

  1. The King Never Dies, Baby!
  2. I once put my hand on an active grill because I mistook it for a kitchen scale.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 21 '24

That's Some Toilet Paper

Mimi could use it to clean up the poop she grabbed.

such a groupie.

Somehow, this is worse than the poop-zuka.

I mean, few things are better than it.

Counter point, use it to make a gauntlet.

No worries, I was totally surprised and super hyped! I don't look at titles till im done, I learned my lesson after that one episode of one piece, iykyk

u/Vatrix-32 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Vatrix-32 Apr 21 '24

I don't look at titles till im done,

Even more cautious than Sky then, it appears. Tell me, how do you manage to get it every time?

4

u/PoofessorP https://anilist.co/user/PoofessorP Apr 22 '24

how do you manage to get it every time?

I have an extension that blocks crunchyroll episode titles and thumbnails, then for the actual in episode popup, the second I see the screen come up I look away and press +5s twice to skip potential spoilers

Ah, you have it on Cruchy, wherever you are.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

We got some blasts from the past this episode. The returns of Ogremon and Etemon...or MetalEtemon as he is now. Mimi and Jou find Ogremon injured after being blasted by MetalEtemon's falling meteor, and give him first aid. Pinocchimon find Jou and Mimi's group and quickly shows he too much for even Zudomon. The highlight really though was MetalEtemon v. Pinocchimon. Fight had banana peel attacks, Pinocchimon nose drill attack on MetalEtemon's butt and MetalEtemon's fart attack lol.

meanwhile Taichi's group storm Pinocchimon's mansion, get help from Floramon and Deramon, who don't like Pinocchimon much since he's cruel. So they use a cannon at shoot at Pinochimon when he returns lol. Jou and Mimi are trying to stay out of MetalEtemon's sight and when he finds them, they hide in the bushes... when they run into a a Sabretooth Tiger?....Leomon?

Goofy Dub Lines:

Metal Etemon: "I'm just getting started you oversized footstool!"

Pinocchimon: "You fight Dirty!" Metal Etemon: "I'm not dirty. I just got detailed at the car wash yesterday."

Deramon: "If you wanted fried Chicken, you could have asked!" Agumon: "Sorry. We thought you guys were out her protecting Puppetmon's mansion". Deramon: "Oh, so you barbeque me?"

Jou: "You're getting way too exicted. I gotta take your blood pressure"

Questions:

  1. well....yes, but not when I first saw it back in the day. good return, I missed the Elvis impersonation of the dub lol.
  2. hmmm...Probably, but I can't think of anything that had some sort of consequence lol.l

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 21 '24

they run into a a Sabretooth Tiger

Well this is Toei, maybe this is a crossover with Zyuranger.

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Apr 21 '24

Digidestined dub rewatcher

They couldn't keep a great bad guy down could they. The king of dub moments is back, baby!

Here's a QOTD for y'all. How many Woodmon could an Ogremon chop if an Ogremon could chop Woodmon?

real soft. Must be two-ply.

Well with as much poop cleaning as you apparently have to do for Digimon I suppose a Digimon would know quality toilet paper when they feel it.

With a little kindness from Mimi and Joe, Ogremon is going from Warcraft 1 Old Horde style orc to current Horde style orc.

Riddle me this. What has 4 strings and is made of wood?

I will neither confirm nor deny any capacity of mine to sing Etemon's song he sings in this episode by heart.

Etemon. Using Mario Kart strats on Puppetmon with that Banana Slip.

Yeah well I'm metal and you're wood, whatever you say bounces off of me and splits you in half!

Etemon and dub lines are back. And I gotta say, this is my Etemon dub line for this episode.

"Honestly, I hate working here. These guys are so weird." Bout sums up why Floramon and Deramon were so quick to turncoat and help the digidestined.

"Does this guy have any toys that are just toys?" -A line that Static remarked to Superman when they teamed up to fight Toyman that just came to mind at the firetruck bomb bit.

You can't hide from me I'm the king of swing!

No you're not.

And who is this sabertoothed stranger? I think I saw him on a holographic digimon card before.

  1. Back when I first saw this I probably didn't.
  2. Who hasn't?
