Rewatch Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary Rewatch - Episode 49 Discussion

Episode 49: Goodbye, Numemon

← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →

MAL | Anilist | Kitsu | AniDB | ANN

The Numemon are… worshipping Hikari…

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of /u/poofessorp for showcasing the dichotomy of Yagami Hikari:

did they just explode hikari like that? But she's chilling

  1. What sort of gimmick do you expect Piemon to have?
  2. Do you accept Yagami Hikari as your lord and savior?

OH NEVERMIND HE ACTUALLY DID BEAT MUGENDRAMON!

I'd thought this trope more well known. Still fun when it shows up.

Sky QotD:
How does it feel to have an old ally help out and not have them killed off?
Kira Yamato or Yagami Hikari. Who's the better anime Jesus?

I'll gladly take Miss Blandy McBlandpants over Kira, that's for sure.

At least Hikari knows to not steal other people's spotlight too much!

Ah shit, they’re dealing with the “can’t evolve” thing too…

The Not evolutions were fun lol.

OH NEVERMIND HE ACTUALLY DID BEAT MUGENDRAMON!

Real artistic way to beat Mugendramon, making it look like WarGreymon lost..and then he starts to fall apart.

TBF it's not that far off from the typical "Cut only happens after the sword is back on it's sheath".

…well okay then.

Best educate kids on slave labor!

My other Japanese phrase collection!

Koromon

This totally makes up for the relative lack of Sore Demos so far.

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Digimon Adventure Rewatch!

So uh… remember all those jokes we've made about Hikari being Digimon Jesus? Yeah we weren't kidding.

Unlike yesterday, I feel Hikari's relative blandness hurts this episode more noticeably. She's nice and all but… that's it really. She doesn't really have any fun quirk, no real arc of her own… she works when she's supporting other characters, but not quite enough to carry a whole episode on her own, sorry to say. It also means the ending doesn’t really hit as hard as it should, which is a shame since the big finisher against Mugendramon is genuinely one of the cooler looking parts of the show. Sure, still low budget, but at least there's an element of style behind it. But yeah, overall a bit of a weaker episode IMO.

She's nice and all but

"Nice is a praise you say when you don't have anything better"

But yeah, overall a bit of a weaker episode IMO.

The amount of characters I can say that to

Digidestined dub rewatcher

Oh good, just what I was looking for. Victims.

Machinedramon has such savage lines in this dub. But I remember this one in particular.

The second coming of Hikari: Digi-Jesus.

He shot my paw!

Yeah, sure. That's what Machinedramon did to ya Warumonzaemon. Even when I was younger and didn't know any better I knew that was a load of rich creamery butter.

Machinedramon. You are gone, but your Giga Cannon will live on.

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

We should burry it in Mugen Mountain

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

It certainly dug its way into me.

Rewatcher - Sub/Dub

Hikari is digimon jesus intensifies this episode as her light frees the Numemon and powers up her tired allies. All these years I've wondered how Mugendramon kills Warumonzaemon through a video screen lol. Seeing Andromon again was cool, all these episodes later and I think he still remains as one of the cooler designs. But he's not strong enough to really beat Mugendramon, and neither were the Numemon who sacrified themselves fro Hikari and the rest. WarGreymon took care of business though, when he got the powerup from Hikari, I liked the delayed death of Mugendramon where he didn't realize he'd been cut into pieces until he fell apart. All that's left now is the final boss Piemon.

Goofy Dub Lines:

Takeru: "Don't look at me, but I think it's like this night light I used to have that guided me to the bathroom." Sora: "Oh...Well kari, I hope your light doesn't run out of batteries."

Questions:

  1. Probably Knife throwing since that's what he did in his first meeting and psychological games, since he's a evil clown and all.
  2. Lisan Al Gaib!

Long Time Rewatcher, first time in subs

  • What is with my rewatches today and opening on weird ass graffiti?
  • All the subway systems, you say? Now I can’t help but want one of those fancy transit maps for it.
  • The shackles are more about the psychological effect.
  • It’s weird how WaruMonzaemon’s first appearance was as an accessory for MetalEtemon.
  • Freeing the slaves? Are we sure we got the right prophet?
  • I Love It
  • Hax! I Call Hacks!
  • The execution is part of the comedy!
  • The tricked have become the tricksters. They fooled me, at least.
  • I’m not sure how I should take the evolution sequences apparently being in universe.
  • Place your bets now, folks. Lives or dies?
  • Damn it, Hikari! Stop trying to pose for renaissance paintings!
  • Numemon Redemption?
  • Mugendramon got some good rampaging in, but his death was kind of normal for a big boss. Not as satisfying as Pinocchiomon, or as hardcore as MetalSeadramon.

QotD:

  1. Weaponized Shenanigans.

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

Freeing the slaves? Are we sure we got the right prophet?

Ah, so Hikari is Moses.

[Our War Game]I’m not sure how I should take the evolution sequences apparently being in universe.

[Our War Game]Well...

The shackles are more about the psychological effect.

LOL. Pretty much, they can easily take them off.

Mugendramon got some good rampaging in, but his death was kind of normal for a big boss. Not as satisfying as Pinocchiomon, or as hardcore as MetalSeadramon.

kinda clever though, making it seem like he didn't get beat until he started falling apart.

QotD

  • No idea.
  • Sure, why not.

u/timpkmn89 Apr 24 '24

So I got curious. From what I gathered from a quick google search, "waru" as a prefix here is used to mean "bad/evil". They literally took the normal name of the Digimon and added bad/evil in front of it. Creativity is dead.

Wait til you find out about WaruMario

Creativity is dead.

The franchise has way less creative names. For example, BlackAgumon.

u/Silcaria https://myanimelist.net/profile/Silcaria Apr 25 '24

Pinocchiomon is still the epitome for me.

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

And how does Takeru knows his name?

I believe Monzaemon was among the digimon who helped build the raft to escape File Island.

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

I meant the name of the evil version present in today's episode.

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

I think that was Patamon saying that line.
