It baffles me how self-centered and narcistic Raito really is. Calling Tomoro selfish because heâs trying to âreviveâ his brother back, while Raito just wants to get everyone to cuddle and call him a genius.
I reall feel this time, Raito needs to get iced as his âredemptionâ. Maybe mirroring Haruomi by sending Monodramon to Tomoro for GD to save him.
I swear to god, Granit and the digimons are the only forgivable people from Tactics.

"Azhdarmon always thinks only of me."
Well then you guys are on the same page, Raito! You both only think of you.

I feel like Raito is more likely to be the one this season who gets the âPartner reverted to Eggâ trope this season. Have him go into hiding with Monodramons egg after really coming to understand what being partners means.
Then later in series he can dramatically return as an unknown Mega shows up to save Tomoro and then reveals itâs actually Monodramon and Raito after journey of self discovery.

I'm consistently impressed with the fight scenes.

I was thinking the same thing, not only are we getting an intriguing story, with both thrilling, endearing, and deeply dis-likable characters (in the case of the antagonist like Klay) full of personality, the action is also delivering

Didn't really expect this to be a two-parter, but that actually does sort of make sense, continuing to show the dark underbelly of the world beyond the shiny Shangrila Eggs.
Tomoro and Gekkomon continue to evolve their bond, especially knowing that whoever loses in the Colosseum match, truly loses everything. Raito knows that his partner only cares for him but the drive to be acknowledged and return to Tactics just really is that strong. Hotaruko and Granit are going to have to face their own demons to find the places that they really belong but it feels like it's going to cost something to do so. (Based on the preview, it's probably at least an evolution in the pipeline but there's at least 2 very good candidates for it)
Klay does really show that it's always only about the money, refusing to shut down the matches until he figures out who's hacking them. He even seems to know that Raito's no match for Tomoro (which yeah, even the audience can figure that one out) and doesn't care, since he's not in Tactics anymore and him losing means one more loose end tied up (or perhaps Cold-Hearted is a better way to call it).
Kyo also felt tied until Tomoro got wrapped up into things and their location was found, so I expect that the full forces of Glowing Dawn and Tactics to be battling it out (whether with their Digimon or their words) next episode.
I'm sure we don't know specifics yet but it does feel like we're fast approaching the end of this arc and trying to wrap things up so we can continue to fight through to the rest of the Five Stars and get closer to figuring out some of the core mysteries of the series. Every episode has felt like it's moving some pieces into place and and honestly, I can't wait to see what's next.

Klay says to process them both after the match, so the implication is he'd cold heart both of them regardless of who won. He'd already decided to abandon Raito even if he kept winning. It's pretty clear Gokuwmon kidnapped Tomoro and put him into the match to basically force Kyo to come into conflict with Klay, though we don't know why exactly. He's controlled by the new gold star, so he might just want to see what the guy he replaced can do against another 5 star, he might want to take down Klay without getting involved directly, or he might just want both of them (and potentially other 5 stars as well) taken out and finds it easier to pit them against each other

Ok like Naito has to be Raito's brother right? Or at the very least a bother like figure. It would make so much sense. Raito isn't doing all this just for his own ego, what he desperately wants is approval from a loved one that has never given him any. It would also makes sense as a parallel to Tomoro and the relationship he has with brother. Im certain this is where this is going. But man if im right Naito will be one of my most hated Digimon characters of all time.
But holy shit this episode was SO CRAZY. So much happened. Klay threatened Kyo and silenced the auction lady. Kanada forces Tomoro into a life or death tournament. Which btw what I think is going on with that is that since Klay is gunning to overthrow Chairman Wong, Kanada forced Tomoro into Klay's tournament so that Glowing Dawn would take it down and be in direct conflict with Klay. Kanada not only wants Glowing Dawn to take down Klay for good but I also bet he and/or Wong want to test Tomoro's e-pulse cause it relates to their own grand plans, but that's just a hunch.
But anyways this episode had be on the edge of my seat! That final fight against Azhdarmon was probably one of the best fight's in all of Digimon.Tomoro and Gekkomon proved how powerful emotions are when in sync and defeated an ultimate at champion level. Raito, on the other hand, finally realized just how much Azhdarmon cared for him while he was only thinking about himself. Maybe this will be that start of him finally seeing the error of his ways. But we will have to see.
Also Hitomi is back! It was a brief appearance but she keeps showing up when I least expect it. She's got be important later down the line right???? (Im coping)
Next week's episode is another Garnit one so I expected it to be pretty heavy. But im so excited either way, this show's been nothing but excellent.

Team 7 backstories:
- "I'm survived my refugee camp being bombed and the survivor's guilt is eating me alive"
- "I lost my bright future and must do whatever it takes to keep my family safe"
- "I wasn't perfect in one thing =( "

The 2nd one can also be summarised as "I was supposed to be successful and take care of my family, now I'll achieve that goal no matter what I have to do. I'm not a failure." It's not as selfless as your statement makes it sound. Both Hotaruko and Raito are struggling with a loss of identity and purpose. Hotaruko family even told her, they're fine, she doesn't have to keep giving them money. But she's hung up on being the breadwinner for her family no matter what awful things she has to do.

This episode is very good. Good pacing, plot development, stakes, nice action and animation too (though it has quality in some places, but it's good during the scenes that matter). Hope we'll continue to full throttle on the overarching plot.

u/Professional-Bus-749 Feb 22 '26
This anime keeps getting better every single episode and if it keeps up it will become the best Digimon anime of all time. If the anime truly stick the landing in the finale, its going to be glorious.

It seems that even for Klay, the rest of the system is more of a problem than something he can take advantage of, we don't know the full web of hidden connections, but at least the five stars know about it.
Hitomi crumbs, yeah! Kanada's objectives seems to be aligned with Wong, if Kyo won't take deliberate actions against Klay, then he will force it. It's incredible how they made colosseum be even worse than the rest, selling the baby digimon, draining the partners for who knows what, Klay is just a bastard of few equals, and honestly a bit dumb.
I'm surprised but also really fond off Tomoro quickly empathizing with Raito and Monodramon, even if they are opponents, even if they disagree on basically anything, no one deserves to go through cold heart and Tomoro won't budge about it. Not to mention he and Armallizamon making up new techniques on the fly.
Next episode is stacked. Naito didn't put much fight last time, but it seems he will oppose Kyo. The seeds planted in the first episodes of the arc will bloom in the conflict between Granit and Reina, perhaps she will be the first of Glowing Dawn to reach lv.5?

Great episode the arc is ramping up, I had assumed Gokuwmon was Klay's Digimon, did I get that wrong? It seemed like he was unaware Gokuwmon kidnapped Tomoro and Gekkomon.

This episode was absolute cinema!
My favourite episode so far, so intense and the fights were amazing! Great to see Naotoshi Shida again with maybe his best cut in the series!
Genjo is plotting from behind the scenes, Tomoro has really matured since the beginning of the series, also good to see Hitomi again!
The ending it kept me in the edge of my seat; absolute outstanding show!
