Episode 36, "Twisted Code", airs in 1 hour. 'Miharu-sama, it is time to execute the plan.'Episode 36 preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh3ISzzLcQUEpisode 36 synopsis: GIFT, which attacked Chairman Wong, begins a countdown directed at the entire world for its true purpose. Meanwhile, guided by his Sapotama, Tomoro encounters Miharu in the Mirror World. Amid the battle, what emerges from the swirling dark clouds behind is Mephismon.This week's question: How many of Glowing Dawn will reach Ultimate in today's episode?Understandably given we are reaching the end of the GIFT arc, there's been a LOT of stuff mentioned in the past week. Let's get the most important bit out of the way first...
...and that is that episode 37 will not be airing next Sunday (June 28). Like the last hiatus back in March, sport is the reason: Fuji TV have decided that Colombia versus Portugal in the World Cup, which will be on during Beatbreak's 9:00am JST timeslot, is far more important than our adventures in Shin Hikarigahama. And yes, Cristiano Ronaldo-sama will more than likely be playing in that match, but the reasons for that are more suited to /sp/ than /a/.This almost certainly confirms that Beatbreak will be 49 episodes long as was originally predicted.As for this week's episode, we received a rather unusual reveal on Friday...
Miharu's sister.
Wong.
>>288840063...and that was the reveal of Miharu's elder sister, Chifuyu, who will be voiced by Saori Hayami. You may remember her as Quantumon in Ghost Game, among other roles such as Yor Forger in Spy x Family and Yukino in Oregairu.For the reveal, the Digimon TV Twitter account was privated at 20:11 JST, the attached picture was posted as a "GIFT from Mr Wong", before that and a preceding message at 18:00 JST detailing said information was "only for those who believe in GIFT" were deleted. What else will GIFT be hijacking?There is also an important update in the week...
>>288840125...with the reveal of the latest edition of the Digimon Times, which will be on next Friday (26 June) at 18:00 JST: https://twitter.com/digimonweb_net/status/2067895178497560996>From the latest anime and toy merchandise to card games, goods, event info, and more—we're bringing you all the Digimon updates in one place! Stay tunedThis should be detailing Beatbreak's fourth (and expected to be final) arc, among other information.
>>288840063>49 episodes longHow does a series with deep lore only get 49 episodes, but Ghost Game, which has a simple plot, get 68?
>>288840151Now time for two merchandise reveals.The first comes from Tapioca and is the Beatbreak version of their Kurumitapi stuffed plushes: https://tapioca-online.stores.jp/items/6a2a31b5afae4d11777bacdbAs seems to be tradition now, this features all of Glowing Dawn AND Tactics. So if you're a barafag and want to sleep with a scowling Naito plush, you can!
>>288840191Love how everyone but Makoto and Kyo are frowning.
>>288840191The second is from Ensky: https://www.enskyshop.com/products/detail/32184At first glance this is not particularly interesting given it's just gum with two cards in a pack. However, the interesting part is this does not just feature what looks to be new Glowing Dawn and Tactics artwork, but ALSO the Five Stars for what I believe is the first time that five been included in BB merchandise. Strange time to include them.Unfortunately we haven't got detailed artwork for these yet (with pic related the best we've got) but hopefully we'll get them in due course.
>>288840063I'm disappointed about the lack of episode next week, but thanks for the news. I wonder if the GIFT arc is ending next episode or the one after in July then.>>288840151I hope the final arc gets a trailer
Has the jobber curse been transferred over to Makoto and Chiropmon?
Fuck Reina
>>288840339No, they were unfortunate victims of the "act stupid so the focus character looks better" trope.
>>288840428Fuck Miharu.
Happy Digimon Saturday.
>>288840509Yeah, Atratusmon is happening and it will not be nice for anyone at all.

>>288840568Gekkomon she had a serial killer clown under her command
>>288841172>gets raped
>>288841172>watching Gekkomon get ECLIPSE'd
>what do you mean you don't want to become a terrorist for meMiharu is not the brightest tool in the shed.
>Dude kneels to MephismonCurious
Well that answered the question about Mephismon then.
>>288840063Why would Japan give a shit about Colombia vs Portugal?
WHAT THE FUCK
>>288841480Plus they have a game in like 4 hours
Did she fucking kill herself?!
>>288841650I think that's the impression we're supposed to take from it. Wait until the subs, I guess.
Yasashii Mahou as the next episode title.
>>288841480No idea. That's just what's happened: https://www.fujitv.co.jp/sports/soccer/FIFAworldcup/index.htmlPer https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/g02600/:>All 104 World Cup matches will be streamed live on DAZN and broadcast live or delayed on one of NHK’s satellite channels. NHK will also carry 34 matches on its general terrestrial channel, including all of the Japanese national team games, with an additional 15 shown by commercial broadcaster Nippon TV and 10 by Fuji TV.
https://x.com/digimon_tv/status/2068491589010534627We got the confirmation: no episode next week.
First half of the episode was QUALITY as fuck.
The visual preview.
>>288841805I HATE FIFAI HATE FIFA
>>288841728>translates as Gentle MagicObviously no synopsis yet. We'll get that next week.
>>288841480Because they probably spent 120 gajillions yens to get the broadcast right so they will broadcast all the match they can.
>>288841827This FIFA is boomer slop
>>288841813Yeah the animation this episode was brutal, next episode looks like could be the finale of the GIFT arc so maybe they're saving budget.
How was the 36th episode?
>>288841856Bleach/10
>>288841856Worst day of Miharu's life / 10
>>288841855>next episode looks like could be the finale of the GIFT arc so maybe they're saving budget.It has to be.I'm betting we get Atratusmon v Habakirimon.
>>288840191Cute Reina bean
Mephismon's voice actress.
>>288841966Wait she voiced Wevil? Didn't know that
>>288841921Mephismon no diffed Armalizamon, Lilamon, and Murasamemon so I'm thinking it could be Atratusmon vs Mephismon next episode then Atratusmon vs Habakirimon for the finale.
>>288842005She also voiced Kai from Beyblade.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa4yjhH0gmc
She didn't deserve to be mocked. I don't even know who to believe at this point.
>>288842047>Side braidShe never had a chance…
>>288841824Wong is FUCKING PISSED
>>288842191>Got carbombed>Kidnapped by a little girl>Was about to get cartel executed>Said execution was going to be streamed to millions of peopleI'd be fucking pissed too
>>288842191Good, fuck that guy.
>>288841824Sorry Miharu, you're cute, but you're super fucking dying next episode
>>288842250>rapes Gekkomon into Atratusmon
>>288842191He's gonna commit some funny atrocities if he survives this
>>288842344>Entire world wants his head and he knows thisI don't think Wong is playing nice anymore
>>288842250Rape face
>>288842368What will make it even worse in his eyes is Chifuyu birthed a Digimon and DIDN'T use it for power.
I haven't watched this yet. How good is ir? Better than ghost?
Next episode confirmed to be finale of GIFT arc.https://x.com/mottihada/status/2068501166368133574
>>288842634I mean, that was fairly obvious. It was always going to end on episode 37. Turns out that it will end in July, not June.
>>288842574I'd say it's pretty good so far. It has a much more focused plotline than Ghost Game did, although the Digimon don't have as strong personalities as they did in GG.
>>288841827>i hate fifazoom zoom
Subs will drop in roughly an hour.
>>288842897I'm 35 and even I know that FIFA is shit anon.
>>288842897Fifa is full of bastards with bastard fillling and bastard coating. Soccer is great. It's just a shame they have one of the most blatantly corrupt organizations running it.
>>288842897talk like a human you salami faced trailer trash
So are we skipping most of the Chinese 5?
https://nyaa.si/view/2123988Episode 36 subtitles.
Subshttps://nyaa.si/view/2123988
>>288840190I know, right? GG deserved way more than just 68.
>>288840190Beatbreak's fault for holding back the evos for mediocre feels bait. That and having terrible pacing in general.
>>288840190Shame nothing besides Adventure gets movies anymore.
>Lilamon calls Rose Onee-samahuh
god tier episode imho
>>288844108The show referenced suicide every so often so the fact that there's yet another episode on the topic doesn't surprise me. Still, it still definitely caught me off guard to see a family member committing be the basis for an arc villain origin story. If I had a living nuke, I'd definitely start nuking everything.
>>288841222>Episode themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLg_wp0IXoI
>>288840339They were always jobbers, they literally never win outside of evolution debuts, their saving grace is the fact that they're support first, combatants second
>>28884185610/10
>>288844466>This creature is higher on the evolutionary scale than humans according to Miharu
>>288840191The Makoto plush is so cute!
>>288840339No, they are winners, legends and GOATs.
>Chifuyu commits suicide because the government wants to keep Digimon a secret and treats her like she's insane, leaving her little sister behindSeems a bit too convenient, desu. If she did kill herself, it just makes her look like a horrible person. If she didn't, then that means the government found a way to sneak poison into her water bottle in the short time it took Miharu to get dinner
>>288844094Unironically true. Beatbreak has lower viewership ratings than Ghost Game, meaning that Beatbreak is a bigger failure. Bandai probably wants to sweep it under the rug ASAP
>>288844627I was expecting her to be executed honestly
>>288844627I'd prefer the former; some people are just bad. The feds offing her after firing her would be contrived
>>288844640Beatbreak needs better pacing in all honesty
>>288844708The GIFT arc is just a mess>Waste 3 episodes on literal filler>Constant alternating between GIFT cult stuff and Brilliant Thorn shenanigans >Random Tactics follow-up in the middle>Making the evolution episodes so late instead of slotting them into the 3 episodes filler arc>Hitomi randomly became best friends with Tomoro after they shoved her aside during the filler arcThey deserved the failure, honestly
>>288844782My only issue with Gift is not enough of the lesbos tbqh
>>288844885The lesbians are just random jobbers who haven't really done jack shit. No, really, what have they actually done in the show? They literally only exist so the other characters have someone to fight
So she has the same backstory as Asuka.
>>288844905fang=sex
>>288844782>>Making the evolution episodes so late instead of slotting them into the 3 episodes filler arcThis is a horrible idea, what the fuck are you talking about
>>288844980They wasted an episode on fucking Starmon, and another episode is just a random Ghost Game script that they had lying around. That filler arc was the worst thing that could've happened to a show as plot heavy as Beatbreak
>>288841650Or she just lost the will to live entirely and died of pure despair.
>>288845019They didn't waste anything, they wanted a break following up from Klay
>>288841650That scene made it look like she drank a bottle of water and died
>>288845235She probably had something on the bottle and was planning on doing it once Miharu left
>>288845235well I don't think they would have got away with showing her hanging from a noose.
>>288845235Maybe she took some pills and swallowed them by drinking.
>>288842897How about you go fuck yourself. Doesn't help they're doing jack shit about the players and refs getting banned from the US or detained by Trumpy and his fucktatded dictatorship.>>288844137And the underutilization of plot elements like the trafficking, or Genjo's long con. Which reminds me. We still don't know Kanchi's deal, which if episode 37 is last of the arc, we're going to find out his deal (either World Union insider/traitor, or Genjo in disguise), or they'll do the same thing the did with Naito, Rose's bitches and Izumi and not bother with the backstory. About the only one they bothered with is Klay, even Tomoro's backstory is barely explained.
>Miharu sister an hero'd due to hasty conclusion >Miharu sees it and then corrupted her sister's digimon in her moment of despair>Said digimon then proceeded to manipulate herWhat a shitty situation.
Where the fuck is Genjo and Gokuwmon?
>>288845466Having gay sex offscreen
>>288842087Wizarmon: no sense of right and wrong
>>288845466He's probably the one pulling the strings and is responsible for GIFT in the first place. I bet Wizarmon didn't escape on his own.
FUCK Tomoro.
man tomoro is a bit too attached to a girl he just met
>>288844885Gag characters
>>288845800Newtype connections.
>>288845466It's possible that Kishiwada might be his subordinate. If he has Sagomon, it would be thematically fitting.
>>288841480Presumably they wanted to pick at least one Ronaldo match to show on the main channel. Japan's ongoing dismantling of Tunisia is pretty good>>288841966>Yanchar from Da-Garn>Protoman>Weevil Underwood>Original Luffy and thus Joyboy>>288845235Most things commonly ingested to kill oneself with have to be mixed into water first.
Patiently waiting for non shitty subs.
>>288846026>>Yanchar from Da-GarnThe guy who got burned by Da-Garn's MC.
I raised an eyebrow when Chifuru said she spawned a Digimon because she didn't seem to have any obvious stress or mental issues, so even though I was surprised to see that she died via an hero it doesn't come out of nowhere.
>>288845898Brought it up here>>288845383But if we don't get a backstory, then they'll reveal that he's either Genjo's inside man, or is Genjo himself pulling the string, and setting himself as the final obstacle.
>>288842250
>>288846118Is that where that meme's from?
>>288844627>horrible personThat's not how it works, Anon. She clearly was not in the right mind. And considering she was accused of being insane to her face, it's understandable why psychological help either was ignored or didn't work.
>>288844934Asuka?
>>288846247She and Maria were both clearly fucking Claude werent they?
>>288845800She also has no parents and an older sibling who was done in by government shenanigans, she naturally appeals to his internal(external) screaming about life.
MIHARU IS THE ANTI-CHRIST
>>288840568It's Sunday dude.
>>288842897Even people who like football hate FIFA. FIFA fucking sucks.
>>288844905I want Reina to share some of herself with me.
>>288844970Very gentle slope for a very gentle lady.
>>288846228She still left her kid sister to fend for herself, and died in a place where Miharu would be the first person to find her. That's called being a horrible sister
Suicide on Digimon.
>getting married at 13/15Dumb kids.
At first I was like>Wizardmon!Then I was like>Oh no... Wizardmon...
Tomoro how did you lose to a frail little girl
So, Chifuyu took too much sleeping pills or what?
>>288847212Most likely.
>>288847212Yes
>>288847082It's almost like pic related, or the Monodramon lineThey are (usually) doomed to suffer
Havent watched since like episode 20. Did Makoto and Reina ever stop jobbing?
>>288847348Yes.
>>288847082hey she lives
I swear to fucking god how many months has it been since Kaito's first appearance, because ever since then he does nothing but sulk and stare at the sky like a fucking autist. What are they even going for here.
>>288847396sometimes you just gotta pad 20 seconds in the episode with some pointless fluff
>>288847348Kinda.
>>288847396>>288847475
>>288847836Imagine when Honoka gets downed and Kaito-sama doesn't give a single shit about her.
>>288847052It's the same situation as Todoroki's mom. Both weren't in their right mind, both needed help.
>>288848000I honestly can't decide if he would or wouldn't.
>>288848118I genuinely don't think he would. I wonder where Raito was given he's supposed to be training with him.
>>288845203you do know a break usually takes only 1 chapter/episode, or 2 if they are a 2 parter, right?
>>288845784Miharu...
>>288845203>>288848633The interval being clearly defined as a 3 episode 'arc' was the strangest bit.Like >>288844782 said I'm just as annoyed with how the GIFT arc has been absolutely erratic with its focus. Far too much has happened for the timeframe.
>>288847052When you're depressed you don't always actively want to kill yourself but you just don't want to continue to live: you won't jump in front of a truck but if a truck was about to hit you you wouldn't try to dodge it. She probably didn't think "I will kill myself" and more "I will just take a bit more sleeping pills".
>>288848837I'm convinced this arc went totally off the rails compared to what they initially had planned. Like have Pomumon and Alraumon even appeared outside of the ending?
>>288849032> Like have Pomumon and Alraumon even appeared outside of the ending?Didn't we see them at the end of the Algomon episode?
>>288849183Wow, you are right. I didn't notice them.
>>288844552Each time we force you apes down the evolutionary tree, an Angelmon gets its' black wings.
>>288849032I think they've reacted too much to social media responses, I do recall an interview saying a lot of the writing is reacting to the likes of Twitter. The Tactics revisit episode for example did nothing other than add Raito to the Five Stars to set up the inevitable Tomoro/Raito homofight. That episode must have only come about because of the reaction the Tactics kids received in their arc.
So Mephismon is going to literally kill everyone. Not even Cold Heart them. Damn.I'm genuinely starting to think Atratusmon is NOT a Dark Evo. That will be some way for the evolution line to finish.
>>288849364>I think they've reacted too much to social media responsesThat doesn't make sense. The only episode that sounds like a fandom wet dream is the Tactics follow-up episode and the Reina evolution episode. Everything else was sorta whatever
>>288849849Atratusmon isn't a dark evo. It wouldn't make sense to make the dark evo part of the card game starter set. It'll be like putting Megidramon as the box topper for a Tamers set
>>288849938Yeah, that does make sense. But it just feels tonally different to the rest of the line. Especially with it being a Green/Black card.
>>288849975It makes sense in context, at least. Michiru calls Chifuyu the sun, so having Gekkoumon as the moon would make for a good counterpart to her
>>288849916The Reina evolution specifically, the episode itself sucked. The arc started falling apart once Brilliant Thorn were introduced, the Algomon episode wasn't good either.
>>288850019To be fair, Brilliant Thorn is completely divorced from Reina's "I'm too weak" subplot and they mostly interact with Tomoro. But yeah, Algomon needed to be a two-parter like Pandamon
>>288848837It’d was just more individual cleaner cases not directly tied to five stars and whatnot.
>>288850072Boy, if the Pandamon subplot doesn't pay off in the end I'm gonna get really mad ya know
>>288848771Cute
>>288847396>What are they even going for here.>Kaito: I pity you>Kyo: I don’t think about you at all Something like that.
>>288850072>To be fair, Brilliant Thorn is completely divorced from Reina's "I'm too weak" subplot and they mostly interact with Tomoro.I know, I'm just saying that was when the arc lost its way.>But yeah, Algomon needed to be a two-parter like PandamonIf it had to be a single episode it needed to be paced far better and make Brilliant Thorn more imposing than they were. I've noticed that mid-arc two-parters pretty much disappeared after that first arc. I think the only one we've had since was 20-21.
>>288850274>the arc lost its way.Besides Algomon every episode has been about dealing with GIFT being a death cult trying to kill everyone who’s been mean to digimon.
>>288850333Episodes 29 and 33 weren't either. That's a quarter of the arc.
>>288850493Their bed heads are so cute.
>>288850493What the fuck, I was literally about to post that exact frame. So have this one instead.>>288850551I fear for Miharu after the next episode. She is going to get raped in World Union jail.
Oh Chifuyu.
>>288850982>Smash cut to Ghost Game mons skinning people alive or whatever they felt like that episode.
>>288844905>>288851151Brat way too smug after not jobbing for an episode. Needs correction
>>288846026Tunisia is just the Turkiyue of Block F. Japan is good but everyone was dismantling Tunisia as well.
>>288850982>"Everyone gets a Digimon then we'll all hold hands and sing a song of peace!"
>>288851126Doesn't even have to be Ghost Game, we can just look at this arc.>'the power of Digimon will bring us happiness'>Miharu's anger over Chifuyu's suicide twists this into killing literally everybody
>>288851151>>288851282>Gekkomon had two>Tomoro had none>Reina already had twoWhat a greedy pig.
>>288844905>>288851151Tomoro should have kissed her to get it back
>Honoka is apparently obsessed with Kaito>but instead of facing him when she lies down, she turns her back on himHmm.
I started watching this this week because I was curious at it having more downloads than the average seasonal on nyaa. What am I in for?I haven't paid attention to modern Digimon since dropping Young Hunters.
>>288851851Cyberpunk Digimon with wild tonal swings and THE ultimate based retard.
>>288851851Good series so far. If you ever watched Yugioh 5Ds it’s a similar level of surveillance state dystopia bordering on full on cyberpunk.
>>288847836>>288851715Honoka is betraying Kaitou. It won't be Honoka getting downed. It will be Kaitou.
>>288845800>>288846603Never underestimate the power of a guy thinking that she's just like me fr fr
>>288851885I thought that. She's going to go full yandere on him because he now has Raito.
>>288849849I thought of this as a vague possibility before the show revealed how Mephismon evolved, but I can't help but wonder if someone (probably Genjo) is going to outright kill Miharu in front of Tomoro and Gekkomon attains Atratusmon due to the influence of Miharu's epulse.That would probably mean that Atratusmon would be the first episode of the final arc with the last episode of the GIFT arc ending on a major cliffhanger though.
>>288852072Genjo's complete absence in this arc is interesting enough. I think the theory about Genjo being Kishiwada has some truth to it, but I can't feel confident in it just yet.
>>288851451Hell, just look at Algomon>Just existing short circuits technology
>>288852312Chifuyu was unfortunately very naive.
>>288851851>I was curious at it having more downloads than the average seasonal on nyaaIs it? I'm looking at the numbers and it's not that high compared to other seasonals. They usually land at around 3k downloads after a week for the 1080p SubsPlease torrents, which is fairly middling. Needy Girl Overdose and Yuusha no Kuzu land at around 4k downloads in comparison
>>288852735I always thought an average seasonal does 2k something and anything 3k or above is at least slightly popular.
>>288851715>Just noticed Kaito wears the same leotard as HonokaSlut
>>288853430Bet you also didn't notice Honoka wears her tie in the exact same knot as Kaito too.
They could have made Chifuyu look a BIT less like Miharu was her clone.
>>288850551They remind me of her.
>>288852177Yeah, as much as I'd like to believe Genjo and Kanchi are one in the same. The show has been consistent in shoving subordinates in the background and giving them nothing but jobbing roles or no backstory (usually both). And it feels like more of the same is going to happen here too. And this applies to Genjo as it does the lackies of Miharu, Klay and Rose.
>>288855248I'd say it's exceptionally worrying for Genjo as he's a vital part of the main plotline. When was the last time he was seen, episode 24?
So if it's a world where Digimon rule does that mean we are getting human farms?
Does Rose-Sama join their scissor sessions or is she content to watch?
>>288856196Probably gets herself off over it.
>>288856196She watches while screwing Lilamon of course
>>288856082At this rate there will be no humans.
>>288856472Nah it will be like the doujin I posted. There will be a 100 humans and the Digimon will mass produce them through farming.
>>288853803Bet you also didn't notice Honoka wears her black glove in the exact same hand as Kaito too.
>>288852312maybe there will be way to control that with a more experienced tamer
>>288853803In a better paced show, MCs would have fought all 5 of them already.
>>288856679Doubtful, Algomon I fucked up Nirinso's cloaking system just by being there.>>288856832I've said it before but the Tactics arc really fucked things up in that manner.
>>288840696
How was Ghost Game? I just got recommended a compilation of the evolution clips and they look great.
>>288857447Very enjoyable but heavily episodic. The show's plot only really kicks in with 3 episodes remaining because the head writer had a breakdown.
>>288856832Tomoro’s whole end goal is getting his brothers E-Pulse back from Monke. No way he isn’t last or second to last boss.
https://twitter.com/hase_popopo/status/2068571566078877926>Miharu near-incomprehensible in the imageOh now that's nice. Shows her corruption IMO.
>>288857976Shit, my mistake: I think that's meant to be Wizarmon. Can't be Miharu because it has two "cloaks".
>>288856082Name?
>>288856503Good eye. Genjo aside, ever since Klay was defeated they've become rather irrelevant. Even Rose isn't as much of a threat as she should be.
>>288858852At least Rose seems to be taking the job relatively seriously so far.
So greedy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this was the fifth time someone has taken ownership of a Digimon that wasn't their own:>Sasatake with Pandamon [unnamed salaryman]>Haruko with Chiropmon [Makoto]>Haruomi with Elizamon [unnamed Tactics victim]>Maki with Panjyamon [unknown]>Miharu with Wizarmon [Chifuyu]It's interesting how the show keeps managing to use this basic premise, but keeps changing it so it doesn't feel boring.
>>288844466>Even look at his, look at his face, look at his stupid bitch face>You can literally see it in his eyes that he is a stupid bitch, it's written all over his face>It's like these eyes that are very knowing, but also hollow>Eyes are the window to the soul, and you could see in his eyes, the way he's making this expression, that he's very confident, but also, complete fucking idiot>You can see in his eyes that he's like, smug, he's confident, but also, nobody's home>Lights on, nobody's home, you can lit-, you can literally see it in his face
>>288856847Tactics arc is the only one that had a decent pacing. The show was twirling it's thumbs for the previous 12 episodes, and this arc took 6 episodes to barely developed rose and miharu, while their subordinates might was well be paper cut outs.
>>288848771For a second I thought she was running on her hands
>>288860930>Tactics arc is the only one that had a decent pacing.Agreed, but it came at the cost of holding up the main cast. It introduced and developed three other characters instead, four if you include Klay in that "development".>The show was twirling it's thumbs for the previous 12 episodesI think that's acceptable for the opening arc given how it was setting up the story. Ended poorly though.
>>288861001The dumb thing is that there was no need to hold back the main cast, there were enough elements there to get makoto and reina their evolutions, but the writer clearly decided tomoro had to get his perfect evolution earlier than the other two, and use it to defeat klay one on one.
>>288861135>The dumb thing is that there was no need to hold back the main cast, there were enough elements there to get makoto and reina their evolutionsExactly. It took Makoto 20 episodes to get his Perfect, Reina 35(!). And what makes it worse is BOTH of their reasons to get Perfect were completely independent of the overall plotline, so they didn't need delaying. Makoto facing up to his father and Reina realising she isn't useless are not inherently linked to GIFT.
I feel like people are just complaining for the sake of complaining
>>288845800>tomoro is a bit too attached to a girl he just metHe's like 99% of teen guys, specially when the girl is a cute red flag.>INB4 Tomoro is gayNope, most Fujoshis don't believe that either, they think that he's bisexual coded because of his color scheme of whatever delusions they have, so he's just trying to fix Miharu.
>>288861765>Nope, most Fujoshis don't believe that either, they think that he's bisexual coded because of his color scheme of whatever delusions they have, so he's just trying to fix Miharu.No, I'm pretty certain they think he's gay for Raito.
>>288861741I don't see how. This current arc has been sloppy.
>>288857447I loved it but it depends entirely if you want an overarching plot(you’ll get none) or just episodic adventures. I liked it a lot for sticking the closest to the reference book descriptions of most digimon so everything that showed up felt like a real threat and not just fight fodder. Also has the most amount of body horror a kodomo show could possibly get away with.
>>288861822Not really
>>288844905>>288851151Reina should teased Tomoro like gifrel.
>>288861865>three episodes of the cour were explicitly allocated to non-plotline episodes for unknown reasons, meaning the GIFT arc went from 13 episodes to 10>constant juggling of characters makes it difficult to focus on them or take them seriously (the worst occasion being the Algomon episode)>needless fan service episode disrupts the already fragile flow of the arc>Reina's Perfect evolution ends up feeling compulsory to ensure all of Glowing Dawn are at Perfect by the end of the arc (at least Makoto's did not have that inevitable feeling about it)It's been poorly handled.
>>288862138Nuh uh
>>288861779>they think he's gay for RaitoThey think he's bisexual, hence picrel.
>>288844885Bottom feeders. Rose is worse at hiring minions than Klay.
>>288862165I'm sorry, if I had realised you're actually retarded I wouldn't have bothered replying to you in the first place.
>>288862183This looks like something you made yourself to prove the point.
>>288851851Its mostly competent, but it has pacing issues
>>288860049Shame she can't even handle some little girl
>>288861741GIFT has some of the worst pacing I've seen in Digimon. It feels like nothing happened. ScourgeChiropmon was great, but everything else is just twiddling thumbs
>>288862194Your points are wrong
>>288862354You can't refute them, that's obvious.
>>288862332>>288862505The pacing isn't bad>Episode 28 establishes GIFT as an organization>Episode 29 establishes Rose looking into GIFT>Episode 30 has ScourgeChiropmon, and GIFT doing stuff>Episode 31 establishes Tomoro's ability to use Newtype-like shit to enter people's memories, and Rose's jobbers>Episode 32 has Maki's backstory, and first shows Mephismon and Miharu wanting Tomoro to join her>Episode 33 is the one I say is kind of weird, but it's necessary if Raito is appearing later in the fourth arc>Episode 34 has Miharu first trying to recruit Tomoro, Rose's first confrontation with the team, and Reina's start of her two-episode evolution arc>Episode 35 has GIFT escalating up to kidnapping Wong, Bearcatmon, and Miharu advancing to the final phase of GIFT's plan>Episode 36 has Miharu attempting the final part of her plan, her backstory, and setting up the pieces for the final part of the arcI think you guys just doze off whenever there aren't any hype moments or aura
>>288840190Is the deep lore in the room with us right now
>>288862332Evolution episode not happening when you want them to happen isn't bad pacing.
>>288862679An evolution episode happening at the last possible moment it can happen is. Especially when said episode is not only the first evolution episode that character has had, but is handled in a really shit manner.
>>288862679Some people treat evolutions as a checklist for some reason
>>288862679It does weaken the impact in all honesty. I'm glad Beatcatmon happened, but now I just don't care anymore.
>>288862697AURA
>>288862572Welcome to the current state of anime watching. Gift arc has flowed pretty well minus Episode 33 which was an outlier to hype up Raito and Kaito for them to appear in the final arc.
>>288862705>An evolution episode happening at the last possible moment it can happen isNo it isn't. Gekkomon evolving into Armalizarmon had more impact than Agumon evolving into Greymon because it happened late and had buildup. Same for Bearcatmon, it had more impact than most perfect evolution because Reina struggled to get her evolution unlike character that get their evolution in a random MOTW episode.>>288862760>I only care about hype moment and auraJust go watch colon then.
>>288862572Episode 29 was establishing Rose as a character, the GIFT investigation was tacked onto the end of the episode to link it to the overall story. Episode 31 is where the arc falls apart because Brilliant Thorn provide absolutely NO threat whatsoever. What even was the point of including them?>>288862929The Tactics arc was infinitely better because it focused on one topic. It did not bounce back and forth like this arc has done between GIFT and Rose.
>>288863011Anon I think you just have a very horrendous attention span
>>288863009>Same for Bearcatmon, it had more impact than most perfect evolution because Reina struggled to get her evolution unlike character that get their evolution in a random MOTW episode.You have to be joking. Bearcatmon had absolutely zero impact whatsoever because it was not just completely predictable given the previous episode, but was inevitable to happen with 3 episodes left of the arc. ScourgeChiropmon had impact because it resolved the key issue with Makoto given how he had to abandon his biological family because of his father.
>>288863009Armalizamon and ScourgeChiropmon were the only worthwhile evos. The rest just happened for the sake of it. The evo pacing is pseud bait equally as bad as Adventure 2020's hype and aura nonsense
>>288863109> it was not just completely predictable given the previous episode>building up to an evolution episode is bad, because it just isDo you really want all evolution episode to happen during a random motw episode?
>>288863280I'd much rather it be unexpected instead of blatantly obvious. It was a total dud to me.
>>288863476nta but you'd be complaining they "wasted" it on a random MotW instead
>>288862138>Reina's Perfect evolution ends up feeling compulsory to ensure all of Glowing Dawn are at Perfect by the end of the arcNah it felt pretty deserved. We laugh at Reina’s jobbing streak but it lead naturally to her questioning her worth before Pristimon and the rest of the gang helped her embrace herself. Only thing I would have maybe done differently is do this against Rose instead of random GIFT merc.
>>288844970If Kaito showed up he could have fought Memphismon. I guess he didn't think they'd have a Digimon that strong?
>>288863682He wanted Wong to die
>>288863670>is do this against Rose instead of random GIFT merc.The problem if you do it against Rose is either Rose lose and she became less of a menace or Reina lose and losing in you evolution episode would be the worst thing to happen to her character. You could have the fight be interupted but it would be unsatisfactory.
>>288863670>We laugh at Reina’s jobbing streak but it lead naturally to her questioning her worthIt was pretty meta-kino how that whole thing worked out
>>288863665I wouldn't if it was handled properly.>>288863670>Nah it felt pretty deserved.It felt so inevitable it was predictable. That is the problem. I'm aware all of Glowing Dawn had to get to Perfect by the end of the arc. But to hold back Reina's evolution until the very last possible moment, and then make a shit job of it? It was obligatory, not deserved.
>>288862228>something you made yourself to prove the point.Anon... Just use reverse image search>https://www.reddit.com/r/digimon/comments/1u9cfgx/the_shipping_war/The post was made 3 days ago btw.Tumblr Fujoshis think that Tomoro`s color scheme is the bi flag or some crazy stuff like that, btw Japanese fujos do think that Tomoro is 100% gay so you`re not totally wrong.>>288863670>We laugh at Reina’s jobbing streakI would never laugh at my queen, Reina is the best cleaner, she always clean up all Oji-san.

Why after Digimon Frontier there are breaks between each Digimon season when Precure by the same studio doesn't take breaks between each entry?
>>288864566Poor sales and views.
>>288861741brother there is only like12 episodes left and they are only on rose and still haven't done megas yetno one would be shitting on this if it wasn't already confirmed the Super redos would be taking over BB
>>288862572>>288862929>>288863054Go on and explain how this isn't poorly paced and how they will wrap up the 5 stars nicely while showing megas unless the two jobbers aren't getting their megasyou can't the first 5 star had a whole arc around him and his tactics while rose isn't getting that and the remaining won't even get two episodes
>>288857447Ghost Game was fun and very heavily monster/fetish of the week-focused. It left a bit of a bad aftertaste because it seemed to be building up towards a pretty cool overarching plot that it liked to tease throughout is runtime, only to run out of episodes and resolve everything within like the last 5 episodes by going "yeah time to go to the digital world to have a final battle and then have a brattyloredumpmon laugh at you for thinking any of this mattered"jellymon a cute
>>288864858Are you the anon that keeps derailing every thread on /m/ unrelated to Digimon to bitch about this anime's pacing for whatever reason?
>>288864048I’m not sure what you want anon. The only other episode that might have been a good fit was the Vamdemon episode and that was funnier with her going full Ork mind over matter mode.
>>288844885But they're the worst part of it.
>>288864981>I’m not sure what you want anon.To not have Reina treated like an afterthought.
>>288849849Atratusmon better be a dark evolution because it's not cool enough to be a MC's ultimate.
>>288850002Tsukuyomimonbros....Whats our next cope if atratus isn't a dark evo?
>>288865041So you're a waifufag, a shounenfag and don't actually care about pacing then? I don't get why you haven't been bitching about Reina being mishandled which is an actual valid complaint and instead spent the thread pretending to care about pacing
>>288865134Because the dogshit pacing of this arc plays into her being mishandled. I don't even particularly like Reina, I just think her treatment has been notably shit from episode 1.
>>288864757>>288864858>how they will wrap up the 5 stars nicelyKaito doesn't need that much, just one episode fightHonoka just follows Kaito aroundRose will be defeated here or hang around for the final arcGenjo is the final bossThere, doneKlay had a whole arc because he's the one with actual motivations outside of Genjo
>>288865202nta but I feel Genjo should have gotten his own arc rather than being lumped with Kaito and Honoka
>>288865202>>288865224That brings into question why the Five Stars were overhyped in the first place. Given the fact they're in the OP looking like they do, that would surely suggest they were the villains of the whole show.I think something changed production-wise, because it's absurd how irrelevant they've become. Unless it was genuinely terrible planning.
>>288865164There is no dogshit pacing, all episodes flow into each other. Evolutions aren't pacing
The main reason the GIFT arc is less focused than the Tactics arc is that it established and developed 2 groups instead of just focusing on one. The episodes are all individually strong enough that I can't really hate the arc in the slightest though. One thing this arc does really well in particular is show how Tomoro has grown over the first half of the show.I personally think the last cour of the show will end up feeling rushed, but I'll probably enjoy the ride until the end. If nothing else, I'm really excited for the final GIFT arc episode.
>>288865257Honestly it kinda remins me of Kamen Rider Fourze where the main villains are supposed to be the 12 ZodiacsThe first couple even get full story arcs until the writers realize "oh shit we gotta make all 12 zodiacs and we only have less than 50 episodes" so they begin speeding through them as the show nears completion.
>>288865261Reina and Makoto were inexplicably prevented from developing in the Tactics arc. You can't say that's not dogshit. Reina being given her Adult evolution before the show began is dogshit.Even if you ignore the Tactics arc and go with the show as is, Reina should have been judging herself the second Makoto got ScourgeChiropmon, and she realises she has gone from being the strongest Glowing Dawn kid to the weakest. Not making it blatantly obvious with four episodes left that she HAS to get to Perfect. It's been badly handled.>>288865275>The main reason the GIFT arc is less focused than the Tactics arc is that it established and developed 2 groups instead of just focusing on one.And that is by far its biggest failing because for the show cannot handle them simultaneously.
>>288865343>"oh shit we gotta make all 12 zodiacs and we only have less than 50 episodes" so they begin speeding through them as the show nears completion.Actually the reason why the zodiacs ended up being rushed was because the writer's original plan was for everyone in the Rider Club to become a horoscope, but then the producer was against it so they ended up introducing a bunch of literalwhos in the final stretch to be the remaining horoscopes instead
>>288865399>You can't say that's not dogshitYes I can>Reina being given her Adult evolution before the show began is dogshitNo it isn'tYour whole point is "EVOLUTION EVOLUTION EVOLUTION UUUHHHH EVOLUTION"
Damn, that was rough. I'm excited to see the end of the GIFT arc and Atratusmon but like other anons have said, it's baffling how irrelevant most of the Five Stars have been. Having Kaito and Honoka show up this episode for no reason other than to remind us that they exist is silly. There's not that many episodes left so either they're going to speedrun the Five Stars, if at all, before dealing with Genjo and Gokuwmon, then Wong. I'm sure Raito and co. are going to show up again too. Crazy how the Tactics arc with Klay was significant but now there's still four of the five members of the Five Stars left and they'll either be brushed under the rug or given little to no time.
I almost wish they gave Gekkomon a one at a time blink here, just really sell how no thought this creature is
>>288865434>No it isn'tHow is that not dogshit? At the most basic level it robs her of a focus episode. What did we get in the first arc fpr her instead? Her fight with Tomoro over Machmon. Then nothing for her until her two episodes with Granit in the Tactics arc (if I remember correctly she even ends up having part of her backstory dropped into the Nirinso 'filler' episode in said arc, which was weird in itself)>Your whole point is "EVOLUTION EVOLUTION EVOLUTION UUUHHHH EVOLUTION"No, my point is the setup and execution of Reina's Perfect evolution was terrible and felt as if the show HAD to evolve her before the end of the third cour. That's all.
Best we can hope for is a "boss rush" or somethingTomoro vs either Genjo or KaitoKyo vs the one that Tomoro doesn't fightReina vs RoseMakoto vs Honoka (?)>There's no time for all that shitJust Tomoro then
>>288865514Truely the superior species
>>288865579It'll be:>Tomoro v Genjo (obvious reasons)>Kyo v Kaito (resolution of the end of the first arc)>Reina v Rose (again, obvious)>Makoto v Honoka (she tried to kill Hotaruko)
>>288865579Kyo directly fighting anyone other than Kaito would be a waste given their connection. Reina against Rose and Tomoro against Genjo make sense, while it'll probably be Makoto + Hotaruko against Honoka.
>>288864336>Pay good money>Not having to give up half of it for not handing over the digimon. Reina should go into servicing Oni-san’s full time desu.
>>288865514>It’s time to go to Heaven my child https://youtu.be/cf3uwag4hlQ?is=ym3jEip6vzzgohwj
>>288864881Love brattyloredumpmon
>>288865579whatever happens to Rose after this arc should decide if matchups, if any. Tomoro and Genjo is guaranteedKyo and KaitoMakoto with Reina and Honoka (Split with Rose if she remains relevant) The only thing that doesn't make sense is I don't see why Honoka and Kaito would even fight the Glowing Dawn now. Those two don't seem to care about Wong, and I don't see them willing to listen to anything Genjo would say.
>>288864881>only to run out of episodesIt had 70 episodes
>another lets all protect the crazy terrorist because Tomoro wants to get his dick wet episodethis show is really getting on my nerves
>>288864983Their digimon constantly shit talking each other for jobbing is funny.
>>288840909
> "Terrorism is bad"Took the motherfucker long enough
>>288866032>Tell me I've been bad.
Every time Tomoro does something cool I'm reminded of the fact he's wearing fucking crocs.
>>288867100All that and it wasted its plot worse than Beatbreak is with its 49.
>>288867326>lets all protect the crazy terrorist because Tomoro wants to get his dick wet episodeThe charges, officer?
miharu's reading the thread right now! she disappointed with the reactions to the episode.
>>288868400Digimon for Hitomi when?
>>288868451episode 50.
>>288865275What they should have done, IMO is forego a dedicated arc for the individual Stars, introduce them earlier, and have them all rotate around every few episodes. Give Kaito an episode or two, then switch to Klay and TACTICS, then Honoka, Rose or Genjo, and make them more of a threat whole we're at it. For that matter, Koala Kai and Izumi should have gotten more screentime than what they did, and be in episodes as either secondary antagonists that threaten both the Stars and GD, or fill in as the episodic villains in the Stars' place. And somewhere in all that, GIFT needs to fit in. Maybe have one of the secondary villains be eliminated to make room for them.Also 49 episodes is a retarded count. Make it 52 at bare minimum.
>>288864757And how much are we willing to bet those redos are going to suck worse than the first attempts? Because I'm of the mind that those movies shouldn't have been redone for tv to begin with and Super picked up from the Freeza movie.
>>288868490>and have them all rotate around every few episodesI don't think this would work
>>288868360Ghost Game was at least always SoL horror, Gulus being that one oddity.
>>288867980I mean call it what you will but murder is what's really wrong here. This series is bat shit if it thinks it can tow the line and keep her sympathetic just because her sister died on her when she was young. People are fucking dead. Hundreds possibly. The race war is on!
Beatbreak lost the plot with the Tactics jobbers and never recovered it
>>288862572For a TV anime, of which I've watched a few modern ones like ShadowVerse, Gegege No kitaro, and Ghost game to name a few, I've been pretty satisfied by this series. Going into it with no expectations is the right call. These series always tend to surprise you one way or another. Its just a fun series to follow. I also watch it after the pokemon anime so its such a weird juxtaposition at times.
>>288869391I'm just mad at her for trying to kill the hot info broker lady.
>>288869796Well that made sense though. She was trying to attack the very system that is keeping Digimon enslaved. Going after the information brokers to cut the government off from the cleaners is pretty smart.
>>288869856cool motive still murder. Also letting Digimon cause trouble unchecked is stupid actually.
>>288869411I have more problems with redeeming Raito, but I can blame fujos and wanting to dodge the Ryo Akiyama related allegations.
>>288868517>the worst decision of her life
>>288868400not raping the terrorism out of the terrorist right then and there
>>288870058Yeah her plans are cryptic and not very well thought out. For a digimon centric cult I really thought they would go the mutual beneficial route but I'm probably giving it a lot more thought then the writers did.
>>288871780>I really thought they would go the mutual beneficial routeIt was Miharu's Sister goal, she said "Digimon are able to do such wonderous thing" during the flashback but then she dies and her partner got corrupted by grief so her goal got also corrupted and since Mephismon influence/control Miharu, Miharu goal become the same corrupted goal.
>>288871941I watched the episode. I really don't need a recap. By mutual beneficial I mean that Humans and digimon are equals. Putting digimon above humans is never a good idea.
>>288871970>Putting digimon above humans is never a good idea.Well yes, that's the whole point anon. The girl being manipulated by digi satan is wrong. But when you say "I'm probably giving it a lot more thought then the writers did." it seems you didn't understand . Miharu is being manipulated by Mephismon, Mephismon was created by the grief both felt after Miharu's sister death so of course the goal and method of Gift aren't reasonable.
>>288871970>By mutual beneficial I mean that Humans and digimon are equals. Putting digimon above humans is never a good idea.Exactly, that's what makes Miharu's ideals wrong. Notice how all the GIFT members worship their Digimon. That's not equality, that's idolatry. There's nothing like that with Glowing Dawn.
https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/2068982327200383190
>>288865621It makes a good parallel between Reina and Rose with their digimon, one represents a big sister while the other is the little sister (onee-sama and all that) both were searching for what they were missing, ironically they complete each other
>>288865621Hotaruko simply isn't important enough for that.
>>288872427Or strong enough. Unless the staff want to bring her back in for revenge reasons. Or worse, shipping nonsense.
>>288872462Lilamon is really cute
>>288872462I'm still wondering about that tattoo. Maybe it's just a tattoo and has no further meaning.
>>288872768Probably just fashion
best choice for tomoro.
>>288872768What were you expecting? An episode to explain how, in the wake of the disaster, she got kidnapped and sold off into a brothel for a life of violence and abuse, banded with that tattoo like all the other girls until one day she stole a John's Sapotama while he was beating her only to spawn her Floramon which proceeds to immediately CH him and they then go on a rampage in the brothel, freeing all the other girls too?Is that what you were expecting?Pic unrelated.
>>288873554That would certainly be interesting.
>>288868609How would you do it then? Simply change out the villains entirely? Wait until the end to introduce the Five Stars? Not make the series at all and just do the DBSuper redo? Because I don't see how you could even work in all those factions in the series as is without removing one or more of them.
>>288873554I would say they’d never show something like a brothel in a kodomo anime but GG skated that line as close as they possibly could with the mushroom rape dungeon.
Behead those who would harm Wizarmon.
Best shot in the episode
>>288875222>uses Digimon with genuine negative IQ for her point
>>288864336>btw Japanese fujos do think that Tomoro is 100% gay so you`re not totally wrongDon't be dumb. JP fujos don't want their "delusions" explicitly debunked, that is all. Only westerners are retarded enough to seriously believe the MC is anything but hetero. When they switch from insisting the character is gay to akshually he is bi is when you know they can see the writing on the wall and are on the defensive.
Fucking heat wave
>>288876506Miharu wishes Tomoro would do that
>>288876937She should have rape him.
>>288877026Oh, she will. ATRATUSMON
Have they replaced Reina with Hotaruko yet?
>Miharu was Lain all along
>>288877350For the last time Makoto, no. She's fine as she is.

>>288877865>It took 4 series for Mephismon to not be a meme jobber
>the bitch killed herself 5 min before wizarmon came backLMAO, no I will not cry to this melodrama shit.
>>288878223Somewhere in that flashback, a younger Honoka started sneezing and she didn't know why.
>>288840053You know if it wasn't for Ghost Game I'd be all for the plan of letting digimons lead humanity to a new future.But Ghost Game singlehandedly proved that the glowies from Tamers were 100% in the right.
Any non-they/them subs yet?
>>288880195LazyLeido seems to have hit a backlog, they're 2 episodes behind.
>>288878223I would quite like to know exactly HOW Wizarmon managed to escape and what happened to it.
>>288881120He is a wizard, he did wizard thing.
>>288879443they simply need good caretakers to show them the way
If the people developing the sapotama don't know about digimon, that actually feels like even messier writing. How are all these schmos on the street getting Digimon and yet the people at ground zero somehow don't know?
>>288882831Watch episode 32 again.
>>288879443Yeah, a world ruled by MISUNDERSTANDINGS would be a nightmare
>>288877350No, too pink.

>>288887330such a beauty.
>>288840077>>288888180Miharu wished she had an older sister as beautiful, delightful and loving as Mifuyu.
