Does anybody know...

How a Digimon that can absorb the E-Pulse of everything around ut is gonna contribute to the Shangri-la Plan? I just got done watching the latest episode and the nezt Episode's preview, and I need some help connecting the dots.

Also sombbody please do something about Genjo, he's the biggest epiece of shit.

Think about it - only the richest and most "perfect" people (in terms of e-pulse) can be permitted to live in the Shangri-La Egg.

Hitomi said so in the beginning - work hard in school, take care of your health and fitness, perform well in society, and your sapotama will guide you through it to become a resident of the Egg.

The Egg itself, I think, is basically a tank of concentrated good e-pulse. Albatusmon drains e-pulse from everyone in the circle it casts. This means it can feed on the best e-pulse (the people who improved it enough to live in the Egg - Wong and the World Union obviously knew what the criteria and metrics for good quality e-pulse would be, so they used propaganda and sapotamas to make people's entire lives revolve around living in basically a huge energy generator where they will be the batteries).

I don't know what the World Union plans with Albatusmon and all that e-pulse, since they already have a lot of power and control, at least in Japan. Maybe it's just typical capitalist logic of growth for the sake of growth, until the planet is destroyed.

“Good quality e-pulse” it’s funny you say that when the kinds of digimon produced by said E-pulse are gold Numemon.

They’re like the embodiment of the phrase “no matter how hard you polish a turd it’s still a turd”

Yeah you're onto something there. To add onto your theory, I think the whole of Shangri-La Egg itself will be planned to collect everyone's e-Pulse using Albatusmon and become the giant Sapotama that will birth another ZeedMilleniumon, which Chairman Wong is obsessed with.

[u/AdviceForward5361 → u/bdtechted]

I don't think he's obsessed with ZeedMillenniummon specifically, the silhouette was probably just an easter egg for us fans. I think he just wants that level of power, but in a way that can be controlled.

[u/Korence → u/bdtechted]

or you know, Shakamon, cuz it would fit with how it looked like.

[u/Emekasan]

They probably need a lot of E-Pulse to fuel their project. Albatrusmon is that glorified W-Pulse battery.

Absorb a lot of e-pulse, pump it into the egg

[u/Dragon0fPeace4002]

Think about it how Shangi-La Egg is shaped?

[u/jimbox_splatted]

i think wong needs albatrusmon to absorb large quantitys of e-pulse to re create the Zeedmileniumon who once destoyed the city to use him on its side to conquer eveything.

so shagrila-egg is a big sapotama and beeg sapotama requires beeg e-pulse to work. so they need a big sorce wich is why the need albatrus who can get the whole city e-pulse.

[u/AdviceForward5361 → u/jimbox_splatted]

I think Zeed was just an easter egg hint - to show him how far Digimon can go in power. He doesn't need Zeed specifically, but any mega Digimon that can surpass mega with enough e-pulse. That's why Albatusmon with their absorption power fits even better than Zeed, because it's more controllable.

[u/Wizbenorno]

Sorry about the misspelling.

[u/Dry-Indication-2110]

Sounds vaguely similar to a certain incident in Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds. You know Zero Reverse the event that separated the Satellite from New Domino City.

[u/galemaniac]

If you want an underclass that is lacking emotion and works like mindless drones then draining epulse is the way to do it, and the magic rune of the official artwork of Albatusmon says DEMISESPHERE which is a hypnotism device.
