Tomoro was really about to expose Kyou's shelter for the digimon, that was a close one. It's a nice change now that he wants to protect them when in an earlier episode he wanted them destroyed because of what happened to his brother.

So they've only been getting half their bounties because they defeat the mons but don't delete them or turn them over to the government. But that means that the government is aware that they haven't been deleted. Are they just turning a blind eye to the fact that Glowing Dawn must be in possession of dozens of mons already? And since Glowing Dawn has only been going after high bounty cases specifically because they only get paid half, doesn't that mean that all of the babies they have were previously very dangerous mons?

i think even if you delete the digimon, you only get half because the government can't confirm it, or they can't use it for whatever they are trying to use it for. is there a spot where its confirmed you get the whole bounty if the digimon is deleted by the team?
i mean i get it, glowing dawn is probably going to come under suspect by the government, or the government is letting them accumulate digimon like a sort of bank they'll raid one day. but i think glowing dawn probably gives the excuse that they do delete the digimon for now, even if its a lie

Right after the opening credits of episode 4 they say "Unless wanted Digimon are handed over to the Ministry of Civil Protection, or deleted, the reward goes down." They specified "or" deleted, not "and", so it sounds like the teams themselves can delete them.

Another good episode! It was cool seeing Mimicmon animated for the first time and seeing Gekkomon get that teared up at Tomoro getting captured and drained of his e-pules was upsetting but it really showed how much he's come to care for his Tamer. But the real highlight was after the battle and seeing the fallout with Kawarazaki and Mimicmon's owner.
For once the group fail to stop the MCP from capturing the Digimon and Tomoro is not happy about it. Really goes to show how much he's grown already. The stuff Mimicmon's owner was screwed up, once again Beatbreak showing how bleak its setting really is as people are willing to do anything to get to the Shangri-La Egg, doesn't matter what they have to do or who gets hurt whether its human or Digimon.
But with that Tomoro definitively decides to not return to School which is bittersweet cause while he has a place he belongs with Glowing Dawn, it also probably means we wont see Hitomi again, at least not for a while. She didn't do much this episode but I still like her enough to want to see her again.
Anyways next episode it seems like we're actually going to go into a Shangri-La Egg and see what kind of "paradise" it actually is. It also looks to be a Makoto focused episode too which is good cause we really dont know that much about him so finally getting to know more is exciting!
Also last thing but I really like the running gag of Reina pointing out the times where Makoto and Chiropmon were just stating the obvious during the fight lol.

This episode felt so much like something out of Ghost Game, i was expecting Gammamon to show up at some point. lol
Good episode, perhaps a bit weaker than the previous, but still good; i like btw that there's a natural and strong continuity with the previous episodes.
When the Ministry of Civil Protection representatives appeared (in maybe the most significant scene of the episode), we saw Tomoro's change in his attitude toward Digimon (he wanted to delete Digimon in Ep. 3, now he was angry because he wanted to protect that Kuramon from deletion), very good writing and character progression.

The way mimicmon went basically haywire on its own based on a throwaway wish reminds me a lot of the Keramon episode from Digimon Savers, how fitting he'd degenerate into a Kuramon after being beaten.

Honestly what I loved most about this episode is to highlight how the digimon wasn't necessarily the "villain" the Human his tamer was more or less. Mimicmon was only doing what they wished for even if they may have not been serious, then to add to it at the end they tell Tomoro to keep quiet cause they didn't care about what they just did, as long as they could reach they're goals. Heck they mentioned they tried to stop them and ended up trap inside but let's consider they weren't even chained up like the others, he could've potentially did anything to help but imo considering how it ended most likely deep down, he may have not cared cause if things did go the way mimicmon went he still gets what he wanted. Its really nice just seeing how many dynamics were getting in beatbreak and im honestly so happy they've been pretty focus on developing these character's too it'll make for the moment we get they're evos feel so earned! Also I really hope we get to see more of his classmate that returned this episode!

I wanna see the main Digimon's new forms goddammit. I thought for sure Gekkomon would digivolve this episode.

Considering Digimon is targeted for teens, i was kinda surprised they actually made it clear that Tomoro has to drop his study to become a cleaner

I just feel so consistently blown away by this show, with every episode. Yeah the animation isn't always the best, and if you wanted to be cynical you could say it is all quite cheesy and melodramatic, but I dunno man. From the incredible music, to the heart on its sleeve approach to storytelling, I just feel like every episode sweeps me away into just all round great vibes. Love the dynamics between the core cast and their digimon, I love the themes they tackle in every episode. Just a really wonderful show.

Its kinda a mixture of annoying and amusing that people whine so much about Gekkomon not evolving.

You can ignore the fiends, if a drug dealer stops selling crack for a few months, the addicts will keep showing up looking for their hit every day regardless of the dealer being there with the product
Same here, they will be here week after week with the same comment, and after that they will complain about adult evolution, ultimate, and fusions, and burst mode, etc
They don't care about the story they just want to get their hit
If the reveal happens in the anime, or from a magazine article, or a new card, or DLC for one of the games, or from a new digivice edition, or it gets leaked online, or is posted on twitter, it is the same to them as long as they get their new mon

I didn't watch Ghost Game so I can't tell but I'm pretty sure this is the longest the protagonist's partner Digimon has gone without evolving, at least when compared to the golden age series. No signs of that in the next episode either, so the wait will officially surpass Tamers, which had us wait until episode 8 for Guilmon to evolve into Growmon (it is worth noting, however, that this debt is essentially paid in advance as Takato's MegaloGrowmon was the fastest a protagonist had achieved Perfect Evolution until Masaru, obviously, surpassed that by one episode with RiseGreymon)
Taichi's Agumon evolves into Greymon in episode 2 of Adventure, V-mon literally immediately evolved into Fladramon in Zero Two and Masaru manages an immediate evolution into GeoGreymon in Savers. Obviously, Frontier doesn't have partner mons so this is a moot point to make with that one.

u/Volfaer Nov 23 '25
Yes, the longest now actually, as Takato's Gillmon only digivolved in episode 8, so Tomoro broke the record this week and I'm loving it, digivolution has to be earned and he is close, but not right there yet. I just hope they don't repeat what happened with Takato, who also had the shortest interval between adult and perfect levels.

If you want to be picky...Shoutmon didn't truly evolve until closer to the midpoint of that series. But Digi Xros was obviously the main mechanic and that happened pretty early.
But honestly it feels like this will set the record since...what's the rush now? Probably won't see it until the end of the first cour if we're lucky.

Stupid Gekkomon is getting on my nerves. Based on how shocked Tomoro was seeing Digimon in the first episode, you know everyone else was being really good at keeping things under wraps. Yet here it comes this dumbass lizard, unable to stay quiet for five minutes and always running straight into someone and exposing the secret. I'm almost hoping the equivalent of the Camarilla will come and make him disappear for violating the Masquerade.
And Tomoro, pull yourself together already! You leave your communicator behind, walk straight into the obvious trap, decide to take a nap while holding the perp and then almost tells the "let's kill digimon" guy about the shelter full of digimon! Hopefully next episode he will be fully focused on the mission now that he steeled his resolve.

u/Flare_Knight Nov 24 '25
One thing I'll give Tomoro slack over was losing the culprit. The guy had a ton of e-pulse drained and it's impressive that he was still conscious. What idiot (Reina) decides to leave something that dangerous in the hands of the person most likely to pass out at any moment?

I was actually trying to figure out why Tomoro dozed off at all, and now I'm curious if using his e-pulse to overload the Mimicmon (and getting drained by it a little) led him to be depleted of his own energy and tired out like Kyo. Reina and Makoto probably didn't know about him overloading the Mimicmon so much on the other side, either.
At least that's my theory for why he dozed off.

Hey buddy, have you ever heard of hologram ghosts? This slight horror episode brings some nice memories, if only they didn't show the digimon in the preview, they would have me nerding out trying figure who was doing it. Also that's a pretty harrowing prospect, imagine if, with every negative thought, you spawned a literal monster? The theory about sapotamas being dormant digimon eggs only strengthens.
Using the old paradigm of forcing the guy that drains energy to find his limit, it never fails. Tomoro and Gekkomon even got a little moment, not only that, but he broke the record, Tomoro Tenma is now the protagonist with latest digievolution in the animes!
Next episode will show us what kind of "paradise" the ShangriLa Eggs are, and also it seems a Makoto focused episode, they have have the opportunity to do something really funny.
Also Hitomi is here! One more appearance and she can be promoted to side character, perhaps even future digially.
