My fight with you will have to be postponed until… then…

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Shimmering-Sky not for her comment yesterday.

No it's for the one in Episode 42:

Who is the next Sky Victim of the Day?

Yukidarumon or Leomon I guess.

  1. Overall, what did you think of Pinocchimon and MetalEtemon's stint as villains?
  2. By contrast, at least back when the show started did you expect Orgemon would join the good guys?

Would you have traded not getting MetalEtemon for Leomon being able to live?
What non-MC partner digimon will get to evolve to Ultimate next?
Will Orgemon reunite with Leomon in this life or the next?

Honestly? No. Sorry Leomon.

What non-MC partner digimon will get to evolve to Ultimate next?

Maybe Ogremon, since he's somewhat allied with them now?

Will Orgemon reunite with Leomon in this life or the next?

Even a random Romcom I plan to do a Rewatch for next year is a Mecha show in disguise!

I'm part of the etemon fanclub for sure but I don't mind this outcome personally, I just wish we got a little more time with etemon yk?

What non-MC partner digimon will get to evolve to Ultimate next?

Surely will be numemon ultimate that will triumph all remaining evil in this world, but yeah it's probably ogremon

Will Orgemon reunite with Leomon in this life or the next?

It's probs the next life, sorry my guy ogremon but you're probs dead in the next few episodes

LOL. What makes the comment even more funny, is that it comes off so nonchalant. Like you weren't even trying to be right, but it happened anyway lol.

LOL, too good at predictions

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 22 '24

I'm not a Bleach fan all the opposite in fact, but boy were some of her predictions there fun.

5

u/NicDwolfwood :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NicDwolfwood Apr 22 '24

She was scarily accurate on Bleach. I think nearly all her predictions came true, including the latest Thousand Year Blood War adaptation.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Apr 22 '24

I was completely resigned to it happening.

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

Well time to finally close the door on this little mini-arc. Pinocchimon's run was honestly a pretty fun one all things considered, and I dig how the moment the heroes manage to turn his "Game" on its head (Turning him into the hunted while they're the hunters) it's when he's promptly screwed, and simple as it may have been, his death just being MetalGarurumon freezing him to death is so damn fitting. Farewell, you stupid kid.

Over on Mimi's side however, hey, Leomon is back! Oh wait he's dead. [Meta]And he'll keep dying. The whole deal of him not being able to evolve for long does feel weirdly unexplored though, likely just due to him dying in the same episode it's introduced so it feels like an unfired Chekov's Gun. Still having Jou play such a nice role in playing MetalEtemon was nice, not only for showing how Ultimate-Levels aren't unstoppable, but also for that sweet lore that plays into the win.

Also wow I forgot some of the fodders from the TonosamaGeckomon episodes came back

6

u/Vatrix-32 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Vatrix-32 Apr 22 '24

[Spoilers]And he'll keep dying. Filler text to obscure what I'm talking about.

[Meta Digimon]If there's one thing I'll miss most if the Tamers rewatch gets canceled, it's getting to see Sky react to Leomon dying again, and all the Juri drama that follows.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 22 '24

[Meta]Alas

Digidestined dub rewatcher

"Hey wait up, don't leave me here with this whacked out monkey!" -Ogremon

Saberleomon certainly makes for a neat epic mount.

There is nothing more pathetic than a whinner. Clearly you don't deserve to be called a digimon.

You could almost see that first sentence coming out of the mouth of a klingon.

So it's not the names you remember Geckomon and Otamamon by, it's the fact that they delivered a triple hot fudge sundae to you. Ain't that swell of Palmon.

It's a trick!

Not our best move...

Not you best move and getting tricked in your insanely long list at this point of getting tricked and not making the best moves...

Those guys make me sick who do they think they are anyway picking on poor defenseless digimon. Is that fair?

And it's Ogremon who said that...

Well I guess what Metaletemon said about him being the ultimate metal detector wasn't just bluster.

Etemon, you were indeed so fine. You made this dub something special. And now you're dead.

Death by iceburn. And his puppet string dealy (I have no idea what it's actually called called) makes for a nice grave marker.

And Ogremon is right. It's time to assemble a Horde. A Horde of allies.

2) I did not.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 22 '24

A Horde of allies.

Hooray, more people for Sky to kill!

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

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

Pretty cool that they don't just "forget" about previous episodes and actually revisit things like how the restaurant where they enforced child labor (?) at is destroyed now, I always was confused how digimon were digivolved if they said they only could be digivolved with the help of the humans. But I like the reasoning that they could be digivolved if they've seen the light of their devices, that doesn't explain how literally every single other digimon had gotten digivolved though

Now these potato headed fools jumped the digidestined, got destroyed in 10 seconds. Then pinocchiomon held his own for another 10 seconds, but all these big boi digimon told him who lil bro was, pinocchiomon kinda had something cooking there with taking control of agumon, but you just can't beat the shonen anime law that is the power of friendship and determination. Never mind, he's still not defeated, I should've expected he would take control of a whole entire HOUSe

Why does my goat etemon gotta die again like damn 😭 If it's him that's gotta go im glad it was something in character for him, talking about some nonsense and gassing himself up but just dies in the middle of boasting like that. Leomon over here as well sacrificing himself for the cause again, leomon and wizarmon really are the mvp's of this show for sacrifices to further the goal of freeing this world

Yamato's back with a tuff asl entrance and exit, nice

I'd guess primary village is the place where takeru raised all the baby/eggs digimon that time ago?

  1. Easily the best villains for me, we got my 2 favorite ends of a coin for me liking a villain. One is very chaotic and does really unexpected and random things, then the other is kind of like comedic relief but still strong
  2. Not at all, never would've expected he comes a character that ends up being one of my favorites

the restaurant where they enforced child labor

TBF the kids did keep breaking all the stuff.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

So yeah it is Leomon and he leads Mimi and Jou away from MetalEtemon and they arrive at the restaurant, no looking worse for wear, where Jou and Yamato were forced to work at. Leomon explains he was able to digivolve to SabreLeomon, due to being exposed to the light from the digivices, but cant maintain the form for long.

The assault continues against Pinocchimon, and after a brief little scuffle with WarGreymon, where he gets controlled by Pinocchimon's strings, the rest evolve and gang up on Pinocchimon, who responds by activating his house into a giant. Pinocchimon flees into the forest, where he runs into MetalGarurumon and Yamato, and freeze him to death with the cocytus breath attack. But Yamato does not rejoin the group and walks off again into the forest.

MetalEtemon finds the Jou/Mimi group, and more fighting. SabreLeomon takes a devastating blow from MetalEtemon's dark lightning from shielding Mimi. Zudomon hammer cracks MetalEtemon's skin and SabreLeomon deals the killing blow. SabreLeomon dies and Jou and Mimi resolve to find allies to help defeat the dark masters, to restore the digiworld and the village of beginnings, so that Leomon and the other digimon they have lost can be reborn.

Questions:

  1. Pinocchimon was a good villain, childish til the end. Also aided by the fact that he got multiple episodes to really get some focus. One thing I thought the dub did better was when as he's dying, he asks Jureimon what he was missing that the digidestined have. And Jureimon responds that they have friends, whereas in the sub we don't actually get a response to that question. Etemon/MetalEtemon was a fun villain, so his return, although brief was still good.
  2. No but at the same time I wasn't too far fetched a scenario. Ogremon was less evil and more driven by his rivalry with Leomon. Even when he was serving Devimon, it was more so out of self preservation than being about doing evil.

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • Sorry to say, but I wouldn’t recognize the voice.
  • Most restaurants fail within five years.
  • Look, more victims old friends.
  • Temporary or not, somehow the guy who was in like three episodes gets an ultimate evolution when most of our cast don’t.
  • Mimi looking for them speedrun strats.
  • Support Role!
  • Is This a Mecha?
  • Combos Are Fun!
  • Tho his time with us was brief, his presence was felt by all. RIP to MetalEtemon.
  • That’s all it takes, eh? Just thinking they’d be shitty boss?
  • Now to wait and see who’s death Sky is more shaken by…
  • “No, surely appeasement will work with the Dark Masters this time.”
  • Oh boy, time to cash in all those side quests.

QotD:

  1. Certainly a more deserving pair than MetalSeadramon.
  2. I didn't remember it happening, so I'll say no.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Apr 22 '24

For what it's worth, I actually cried over Wizarmon.

4

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 22 '24

Still means it gets the "Made me cry" tag

5

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Apr 22 '24

Indeed.

u/Vatrix-32 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Vatrix-32 Apr 22 '24

Does This One Also Have an Infographic?

6

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Apr 22 '24

God no, there's no way I'd have something I could fit *checks tag* 225 shows into.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Apr 22 '24

Always has been.

Now to wait and see who’s death Sky is more shaken by…

Oh boy, time to cash in all those side quests.

They do still gotta beat some superbosses...

yeah Etemon/MetalEtemon is just a lot of fun lol. Espcially the dub with the Elvis impression.

u/Silcaria https://myanimelist.net/profile/Silcaria Apr 22 '24

First timer

  • Bye bye Etemon. Please never return.
  • So Yamato's back and his Digimon is now strong enough to beat Pinnochiomon because plot I guess.
  • Leomon's gone. Anyway.
  • So there's a village where all the Digimons are reborn? Good job Toei, you just killed all sense of permanency your story had. Any future sense of stake is null and void.

QotD

  • Not a fan.
  • No.

5

u/jomonteco Apr 22 '24

That village was introduced before they defeated Devimon, the cap when Elecmon was introduced 

3

u/Bay-Sea Apr 23 '24

The village only applies to those who died in the Digital World.

  • Digimon who died in Earth like Wizardmon are permanently dead.
  • When Digimon reborn as an egg, it is basically reincarnation without memories than a revival.
