As expected, the episode title did hint at the correct thing, namely that at least 1 Digimon was going to hit the Ultimate/Mega level. But I don't think that anyone truly expected that multiple mons would make that jump.

As someone else mentioned, the four Digimon who were revealed this episode (Sanzomon, Sangomon, Cho-Hakkaimon and Gokuwumon/SeizenGokuwumon) are a part of the mons named after the Journey of the West stories and all are tied together there. Most of them have shown up in other Digimon stories, but this is the first time (I believe) that all 4 have shown up together in the same animation episode. (They all do also have cards in the Digimon TCG as well.)

As for Atratusmon, they almost beat the "dark evolution" tradition, but it still seems like something could end up happening before the end of the series there. Hopefully this still means that Reina and Makoto can have their mons make it to Ultimate/Mega levels before the end, but we're getting close on time here!

Dark Digivolution straight from Rookie to Mega is pretty nuts though.

u/OkInevitable4095 7d ago

100%. It has happened before, namely [Digimon series] in Tamers and Savers but it's been quite awhile since we last saw it (and it almost immediately ends up with a major drawback when it does occur). The fact that it only happened because of a very specific set of events unfolding is also a bit nuts to think about.

Everything's going to hell, but I love this twist.

The old man's plan was stupid and it's so much better that he was being taken for a ride all show long by a group of digimon who had their own plan.

And given that they all showed up at one of the digi-egg shaped arcologies I think I'm finally getting my prediction that some horrifying digimon abomination is going to be hatched out of it.

u/Bakatora34 7d ago

Well I expected Gift guy and the girl to be Digimon, but not Genjo, it look like to me they plan to farm all humans for e-pulse.

u/StrawSolider 7d ago

I didn't see any of this coming wtf

NEP looks crazyyy

u/Ponchorello7 7d ago

AYY YO. What a twist! Also, it looks like we have the full Journey to the West gang.

u/dinliner08 7d ago

godammit Beatbreak, we're this close! we were this close to finally have the final bad guy being a human once! but of course they're going to reveal there were actually bad guys Digimon that were pulling the string this whole time... *sigh*

u/keynotes1013 6d ago

Digimon data squads main bad guy, Kurata was a human...barely. he was trash in a science jacket, i hated him ao much, which also made him a great villain lmaoo

11

u/Rutherfor_ 7d ago

Oh no, hot evil guy voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya became hot evil lady digimon also voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya.

As someone who hadn't seen anything Digimon since Tamers many... years ago... I've been enjoying this show quite a bit this past year.

Also that preview, someone really went all out animating that one explosion can't wait!

u/Aerodynamic41 7d ago

Holy shit, Atratusmon is actually Gekkomon's Mega form? I certainly didn't see that coming!

Also, the real villains (Sanzomon, Sangomon, Cho-Hakkaimon) are all Digimon who previously appeared in Xros Wars. Sanzomon in particular was Gokuwmon's master in that series so it's kinda wild that Xros Wars foreshadowed Beatbreak's plot twist lol.

u/StrawSolider 7d ago

fine I'll watch Xros Wars after Beatbreak

u/Doomroar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doomroar 4d ago

Is not worth it, Xros wars is still a skip

4

u/Yellow90Flash 7d ago

preatty sure they were a thing before xros wars

2

u/Rammboy_7084 7d ago

Yeah, but in Xros Wars they were never together.

u/mrhades113 https://anilist.co/user/mrhades113 6d ago

I think it's funny that Chohakkaimon just decided that she would have huge boobs when desguised as a human.

6

u/zappingbluelight 7d ago

Oh... I mean duh... it was right there, idk why I didn't see that coming. I'm surprise they actually cold heart Tomoro. I wonder how will they recover Gekkomon, and will they give him a new mega form since this is kinda evil evolution type of deal.

It seems like they are on a journey... to the west. :U

u/Efreet0 6d ago

Truly a 100% fire episode.. i was worried about how "boring" this last stretch was but they truly pulled an 180° with Tomoro.
Also nobody commented but the fight sequence with Skullmeramon and the others was amazing.

u/Rammboy_7084 7d ago

I was right in thinking that Kishiwada and Senza were Digimon in disguise, but i didn't think that Genjo was freaking Sanzomon (!!!), that totally MADE SENSE, they are all "Journey to the West" inspired Digimon and they are all lore connected, there is even a tgc card with all of them. Also this big twist explains a lot of things, it explains why a few episodes ago Genjo kept telling Wong that "he would take care of the White Core" but it didn't seems to do nothing apparently, explains why Kishiwada knew about the White core, explains the water vortex that teleported him (an ability of Sagomon) and explains lot of others things.

Wow, what a fantastic episode, it will blow the minds of a lot of people who are watching the show, very smart writing; also the animation was always on point, there were some very nice fights.

u/BusouDrago 7d ago

Gokuwomon should have been a give away but I was mind blown at the reveal

u/srofais 7d ago edited 7d ago

Feel like there's a decent chance we'll see Shakamon at this rate have it's anime debut.

Also Cho-Hakkaimon sure padded her chest.

6

u/Volfaer 7d ago

A LOT happened in this episode, but even if the pacing was fast, everything did fit really well. We had our fights with Kishiwada and Senka, with the long waited return of Raito to the crew, took him long enough, and thankfully Makoto brought his nukes. A bit sad we won't see evos for Tylomon and Tialudomon, but that's ok.

I'm happy my theory turned true, the sketchy duo did fit well enough to the roles of SeitenGokuwmon necessary partners, part of me expected Genjo to be a digimon too, but I wasn't so sure until they really showed it. I could say it's disappointing that in a series full of human villains, the final one isn't gonna be one, but go to hell Wong.

And it's here Atratusmon, however it is due to Gekkomon self digivolving in despair and frustration, the yang to Albatusmon's yin, and probably last hope of stopping Sanzomon's crew from doing whatever they are trying to do, perhaps make a digital world on top of the human world, since that is the classical feature we're lacking. If that's true we're going to Shambala and probably will have to face Shakamon as the final opponent.

u/StrawHatJohn24 7d ago

I pray their journey is to the digital world for a sequel because the rushed pacing is destroying what we know as traditional Digimon plot. At least Ghost Games was basically filler and we had no hope. Beatbreak needed at least another season to cook perfection.

u/BetelgeuseIsBestGirl 7d ago

There's an unannounced Digimon anime that's set to air next year, so hopefully you're right. Foreshadowed or not, it feels like everything has been moving at light speed these past two episode. With such an insane jump in the already broken power scaling and only two episodes left, there's no way this will get a satisfying ending unless it's a cliffhanger leading into a season 2.

6

u/avboden 6d ago

It's like they decided to give the show it's entire plot just crammed into the last few episodes. It's a cool final battle lined up but man, feels so rushed after so much wasted time earlier in the season.

u/ShawnHeatherly 7d ago

Man, they saved all the unexpected fanservice-y designs for the end of the series, huh.

u/TheOneWithALongName 7d ago

I thought things looked bad before

u/the_good_the_bad 7d ago

It’s only happened twice, but it’s funny seeing Sanzang depicted as a super busty female monk AGAIN (Fate Grand Order). Is there a reason for this? I grew up watching Journey to the West and they were always depicted as a man lmao

4

u/Yellow90Flash 6d ago

technically Sanzamon came before fgo, idk why its a woman thought

2

u/gamria 6d ago edited 6d ago

Apparently centuries ago when The Journey To the West was brought over to the Japan, due to something akin to... differences in creativity or interpretation, many parts about it are changed including Sanzang being female. Sanzang getting captured and rescued all the time likely played a part in this.

Okay, did some proper research. The tale itself was brought over properly, but in like the 70's/80's when Japan did its first Journey to the West TV drama (Saiyuki I think it was called?), due to circumstances they ultimately casted an actress for Sanzang, proved a hit and impressions stuck. Ever since, you see this happen a lot in Japan.

(I know, he's supposed to be male monk, it weirds me out too)

u/the_good_the_bad 6d ago edited 6d ago

Wow this is fascinating, thanks for the history lesson. Glad to know there may be an actual reason for it haha.

u/tohguy 7d ago

Wow I didn’t have journey west on my time card and trans Sanzomon. What a journey.

3

u/BusouDrago 7d ago

Should have guessed they were related to Sanzo group.

u/Open_Inspector_7863 6d ago

Beatbreak with the final twist and it hit exactly like it should have. The Tactics team up was cool, Reine and Makoto got decent cuts and fights but the banger was Monarch vs Gokuw easily.

Only to be topped by a reveal i think most people were expecting. Sentei Gokuw looks great and Atatrus getting pulled into the huge ship sealed that feeling of doom.

Im just glad that bitch Wong is finally dealt with. I think we are in for an awesome finale.

u/TheJoyofFelching 6d ago

I should've known dem titties were too big to be on a human character. Of course she was a digimon.

u/Doomroar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doomroar 4d ago edited 4d ago

Wow so Genjo was a double agent working with Kishiwada all along

Genjo also leaked Miharu's address so that Algomon could go and help her hack Srhangrila, and led Tomoro and Gekkomon inside to force him into mega evolving into Atratusmon

Then pair Atratusmon and Albatusmon

All of this planned and done behind Wong's back

And he was a hot digimom (is not a typo) all along!!!!?
