>>23754677Could be that the Tactics team disappears after this arc and comes back in the last arc with their Megas unlocked

>>23754712Thats a too extreme of a statement desu.
>>23754752You nailed what bothers me about it. It's such a lateral move compared to Rhamphomon. More like an alternate concept design than expounding on the original.>>23753202Yeesh. I actually like MagnaGarurumon, but the Amplified design doesn't do it any favors. I realize they had to change things for the sake of stability, but they completely ruined the asymmetry and sleekness of the design. They did manage to make the detached form look better, I just wish it wasn't at the disservice of the fully armored version.>>23754080>>23754098Huh. Thanks for posting this.

>>23755929>Huh. Thanks for posting this. Crazy her name's been hiding in plain sight all this time.We wouldn't have even known her name had her dub voice actor not posted about it. Rather funny they've used the same name and hair colour as one of the franchise's previous main characters.

>>23754654Hoping the Ultimate/Mega is something even edgier.>>23754727Hopefully next episode will have his character arc get started after our glasses percussionist stopped him from punching his mon and called him out on forcefully evolving him.
>>23754649I love meganes and quiet, shy girls. But dammit I hate this bitch. I finished the fourth Tri movie. She is such a forced bitch. And whenever she does her stupid sneezing thing I feel like the director is yelling "LIKE HER! SAY "D'AWWW!"" at me. I also understand why people call the cat AIDScat.
>>23757560>watching tri.You have my sympathies. It is appalling and Meiko and Meicoomon are the worst elements of the entire thing. They are literal Mary Sues.
>>23757562I'm out of stuff to watch, man. Both western and eastern.
>>23756907>The pangolin got first place.I voted for this.
>>23754727Sex Toy for use by World Elites
>>23757567You cannot possibly be so out of stuff to watch that you need to subject yourself to Tri.
>>23757996Mega?
>>23757998Yes, as per the DRB: https://digimon.net/reference/detail.php?directory_name=magnamon_x
>>23757998Gold digitama mons are mega equivalents until they aren't.
>>23757996I don't like when they make it greener...
>>23757996Would rather access Rina’s backdoor
>>23757562I thought everyone was overdoing it with the complaints about Tri and then I watched it myself. It was so great to see these characters again, having a new adventure, being older, but as the story continued, man, they did not have this shit planned out from the start at all, huh?>Ken is back to being villainous when all the other 02 kids have gone missing, oh wait, it's not Ken, it's Gen-, oh wait, it's not Genai, it's some nameless servant of Yggdrasil who took on those forms for no reason whatsoever>I wonder what the deal is with this older woman. Oh she was one of the first digidestined? Wow, cool, I wonder how this will conn- and she's dead immediately after having her backstory explained>Meicoomon is evil because of a piece of Apocalymon embedded in it? Damn, how did that happen, and what does it me- oh it's over and there was no explanation at all. HuhSo many cool ideas that were just fanservice in the end instead of actually deepening the lore of the world
>>23758456The biggest red flag is the director was someone who had never watched Digimon Adventure or Zero Two and most importantly could not be bothered to watch either of them to do the research on the show. It's been over a decade and I still cannot work out how the fuck Toei thought the series would work when the people behind it didn't have the slightest idea what they were doing.
>>23756184And further confirmation from today's design posting: https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/2025042808940183900I've cooled on the theory it's Makoto's mother. Seems far too implausible to be the case.
>>23756184>one of the franchise's previous main characters.There isn't one.
>>23759095>it's entirely different kanjiHuh. I never realised that.
>>23759091Personally, I've begun leaning towards the idea that she's Makoto's older sister. She seems to young to be a mother, even by anime standards. It would add a different dimension to her attempts at capturing Chiropmon if Makoto's the heir apparent to the family while she's getting overlooked. Then again, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions because it reminds me of a similar plot in another cyberpunk anime.
>>23759177I like the idea even if I'm not entirely on board with it. I feel we need a deeper explanation as to WHY Makoto ran away. Yes, we're told that getting a Digimon in Shangri-La is responsible for your expulsion, but given his status as a High-End Block citizen and presumably former heir to Kuonji Industries, there has to be more to it than just that.

>>23762370That's nice, but where's X10?
Finished reading V-Tamer 01.God damn, I didn't expect it to be awesome.easily a 9/10 manga despite the simple premise.every chapter is fun to read, Gabo is so adorable I'd die for him, Zero is cool, the fights are all good.sure it has lots of asspulls but I didn't feel bored reading it all
Is it just me or was there something off about the animation this episode?The scene with Gokuwmon seemed to really bad
>>23759910Another great episode. High action, high emotion. Actually made me sympathize with Raito a little, although I feel much worse for Monodramon. Also the new rendition of Resonance was great, really hit hard during the last scene.- Interesting how they mentioned the underground fights were Klay's main enterprise. So he mines for for talent via the fights, then refines them via Tactics?- Puns aside, between this and Gen targeting Tomoro for his e-Pulse, this whole plot seems like a eugenics experiment.>>23760457I mean, it could still come up again later. We don't even know if that's really her, or if the whole thing was a ploy to tie up loose ends by Cold Hearting her then reviving her off site. She could be walking around Tel Aviv right now.I'm half-joking, but I can't believe she's really a red herring. The fact that her identity wasn't revealed is much too glaring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3ICp6AHvk
>>23763190>first spoilerYeah, "Izumi" could very easily be a pseudonym. But it does feel like giving her Cold Heart is how she gets taken out of the story.>second spoilerI'm just as surprised as you are. I genuinely thought she had a link to Makoto in some way. Fool on me for wanting him to be more interesting. At least Hotaruko exists to do that.

Just so you're aware, the Nagoya Women's Marathon is on next week in Beatbreak's timeslot. So episode 22 is airing 15th March.
https://nyaa.si/view/2081213How was Beatbreak's 21st episode?
>>23767508guys i think my miragegaogamon has autism
>>23767106Onore, Marathongom
>>23767508Another great ep. Perfect blend of tense action, emotional moments, and just overall great moments.- Man, what a start. Pic related is probably the most badass distance shot in recent memory.- Gigasmon's making a bad habit of getting disarmed.- I actually felt for Naito after his flashback to Klay praising Kyo, but he quickly ran through that good will.- Got a laugh from Tomoro answering Raito's remark about laughing at him with "Sure, I'll laugh! After I get you out of here."- I had a theory that the losers e-Pulse was being farmed to feed a Digimon, but I wasn't expecting it to be used for Proganomon.- Holy shit, Reina. No wonder she's being compared to Masaru. Tanking a hit from a Legend-Arms Digimon capable of withstanding Perfect attacks and actually stopping them? Kind of got mood whiplash from Reina spinning around like that though.- Wasn't expecting full frontal nudity from Ludomon. This show is really pushing the limits.- Hearing Ludomon speak after all this time was nice to hear.- So now that Klay's out of a job, I wonder if he's going to plan revenge, or grovel to the team for help in exchange for info?- Waiting two weeks to see Hotaruko's development and Honoka finally in action is bullshit. They timing isn't lost on me, but it's still annoying.
>>23769326>spoiler 1This was a fucking brutal scene, and Proganomon surging through the floor afterwards was incredible. The absolute futility Raito experiences breaks him into lunacy. All of Tactics' victories were for nothing. Bomber, Koemon, Haruomi, the other recaptured auction lots, the Greymon owner: all food for Proganomon. Absolutely dark stuff.>spoiler 2That made me appreciate Reina a lot more than recent appearances, I've been wanting her to do something stupid and she did it brilliantly. It makes Wolvermon's weakness bizarre though: how is she that bad?>Waiting two weeks to see Hotaruko's development and Honoka finally in action is bullshit. They timing isn't lost on me, but it's still annoying.An episode with women as the stars is delayed by an event where women are the stars. I'm just as angry as you are.
>>23769336Next episode will definitely have Hotaruko saving Makoto from MarineChimeramonWolvermon and NightChiropmon are just weak
>>23769636>spoilerHonoka being a yandere and Hotaruko having an obsession with hunting down prey means Makoto is doomed whatever happens, even if the latter saves him from the former. How has that boy ended up in battle with TWO psychotic 18 year old girls?! I'm so fucking mad at the hiatus, I just want to see it this weekend instead!>Wolvermon and NightChiropmon are just weakWe've seen NightChiropmon evolve during the series and Makoto has admitted he's weak (and clearly still is). But Wolvermon is just odd given how fucking terrible she is. Reina managed to get her BEFORE the events of the series. Did she just manage to go full retard on e-Pulse and overload Pristimon one day to force evolve her?

>>23769838Nice, more vidya bosses.
>>23769336I forgot to mention before, the other thing that stood out to me about Tomoro's crack is that he immediately responded with slightly friendly banter in the face of Raito's revelation and ensuing breakdown. Big leap from trying to shred him a few weeks ago.But yeah, I joked before, but it really is crazy how the show keeps pushing the limits of dark twists without feeling entirely bleak.>It makes Wolvermon's weakness bizarre though: how is she that bad?That kind of makes sense. To borrow a phrase from a certain site, she's a bit of a glass cannon. All offense with very little in the way of defense. She compensates pretty well with the versatility of her armament, but as we've seen, if someone can outmaneuver her or is outright stronger, she's sunk. Which matches Reina's mindset of plowing straight ahead pretty well.>>23769651>spoilerIt's that chivalrous behavior of his. It's infuriating but also catnip to traumatized tough girls hiding good hearts. Ask Batman or Silverbolt.>Reina managed to get her BEFORE the events of the series. Did she just manage to go full retard on e-Pulse and overload Pristimon one day to force evolve her?In a way I think this episode sort of hinted at it in parallel to Luka's situation. Reina likely kept throwing herself into certain death so many times that Pristimon had no choice but to overcome her initial nervous demeanor and evolve to match her crazy. Long story short, what you theorized is probably exactly what happened.
>>23770104>spoiler 1Yeah, incredible change from him. Tomoro's elated Raito isn't dead because he now knows he has to get him out regardless. THEN he can smack the shit out of him for what he's done. Imagine putting the Tomoro of episode 18 in there instead; he would probably have just left him and told him to follow Seraphy's orders to the casket.>everything about WolvermonYeah, this week pretty much explains it. Reina literally stopped a Digimon who was deflecting shots from a Perfect-level Digimon as if they were nothing. No wonder she managed to get Pristimon to evolve. Truly female Masaru. I do wonder how the pair will get to Perfect. Maybe the two have to actually focus on something for once. Thinking is hard for Reina, we know.>last spoilerI honestly DO wonder if he can turn Honoka. I doubt it, but it would be very funny if she ends up forgetting Kaito even exists to go all in on Makoto. If the boy's pull is that powerful then he's going to have to be wary for the rest of his life!

Europoor here. Where do you guys get your Figure Rise from? Cause my togo option [Mandarake] has most of them sold out and I refuse to pay over 70 bucks to Amazon
I really don't like how most digi shows are set up. There's a kind of otherness in Hosoda's take on Digimon, where digital things are alter egos instead of Saturday morning nonsense. Tamers tries to follow Hosoda's take on Digimon, but it's still in that Saturday morning format. There's that edgy manga that was adapted into an anime with realistic monsters, and it does okay with the battle aspect of Digimon, but the plot is very much a “realistic monsters in the real world” kind of deal.
>>23774199What in the name of fuck are you rambling on about.
>>23771777Millenniumon is not a Freak!
>>23775274Well, who wouldn't be in love with Mimi?
>>23775274Nah, she's straight.
>>23767508So he's definitely joining Glowing Dawn as their 6th Ranger right?
>>23775730All of Tactics will be if the merchandise is anything to go by (>>23754968).Hotaruko gets "saved" this coming week, Raito next week, Seraphy in the final episode of the arc where Klay presumably gets defeated.
>>23775279Mimi is just for me.
>>23775993We know, Mimi
>>23774199>where digital things are alter egosDigimon Survive had big flaws but I loved it for a lot of reasons and it's the most Digimon ever did something like this. Beatbreak kind of does it to but not to the degree of survive. I wish Hosada got complete control of a new Digimon movie. He always does movies about child raising. Imagine the adventure movie taking place over Taichi and Hikari's entire life like that wolf movie

I stopped watching Beatbreak months ago, IIRC just after the Monzaemon episode worth catching up at this point? I haven't been in these threads to avoid spoilers but they seem pretty slow so I'm guessing the series is kinda boring
>>23782178>MonzaemonDo you mean Pandamon? Monzaemon hasn't been in Beatbreak.>I haven't been in these threads to avoid spoilers but they seem pretty slow so I'm guessing the series is kinda boring/m/ is a slow board.As for BB itself, I'm still enjoying it. Second arc is a lot better than the first IMO. I would finish off the first arc and then see how you feel then. If it is the Pandamon episodes then that would have been episode 5/6.

>>23781655Hotaruko/10
>>23782425She is a beautiful brute and I love her for it. Takes absolutely zero shit from anyone whatsoever. Definitely one of the top Digigirls of all time.

https://twitter.com/digimonweb_net/status/2033732554143003012
>>23781655Another great ep. They're really on a roll with this arc so far.- Holy SHIT. Was not expecting Hotaruko and Shakomon to pull the smothering/drowning combo like that. It's easy to forget that despite being the most tame of the group, they're still mercenaries- By the same merit, I wasn't expecting "the incident" to be something as relatively tame as accidentally blowing up a CT machine during Shakomon's birth. Understandably so, when you add the price of one to student loans and other living expenses. It calls into question how much Tactics actually gets paid, but I digress.- I was not expecting Honoka to be a lethal gag character who ends the fight out of boredom. Really left a big impression. Can't wait to see the little psycho again.- How could she get annoyed after pic related? That derailed the good vibes and had be laughing pretty hard.- As nice as it was seeing everyone rally behind Hotaruko, it would have been nice to see her and Makoto bond a little more.- "I am the one worthy of Sir Klay!" Usually I don't pay attention to talk of characters being gay, but that was some very suspicious wording there.- As cathartic as Hotaruko slapping Naito was, it does feel a little hollow seeing she was the least overtly abused member of the team.- At the risk of an obvious statement: Kyo and Mursamemon are the coolest. Seeing them cut loose and gank Gigasmon was great.- Interesting that Naito disappears like that after Gigasmon got popped. The obvious answer is that Klay picked him up, but the way it was structured looked like sand ninja jutsu.- Pyramidimon tease next ep? Holy shit.- Please stop teasing something bad happening to Kyo. This is like the third time and my heart can't take it.
>>23784000>spoiler 1I would still put that as Granit given his innate desire for protection. Hotaruko can be an absolute brute. We saw that in episode 14 when Tylomon flung NightChiropmon into Scorpiomon's pincers and then episode 17 when she flattened Makoto. You do NOT mess with her as Seraphy found out at the end.>spoiler 2I was thinking that Klay and Seraphy were never going to let her go because she was too good, but that wasn't the case. The scene of her literally collapsing on her Tactics bed sums up how dedicated she is to being a CAREER WOMAN, let alone the Shakomon birth moment.Honoka was superb and her running off because she was upset at the character development sequence is easily the funniest moment so far. What I wanted to see more of was her and Hotaruko fighting because they are both so ferocious. That attempt to trap MarinChimairamon in the safehouse was genuinely good Tactics. You could see how happy Hotaruko was with it too.Tomoro saying your pic to Hotaruko was amazing as well. Having a MC that isn't friends with everyone is so refreshing.>As nice as it was seeing everyone rally behind Hotaruko, it would have been nice to see her and Makoto bond a little more.They seemed to push that back for a group resolution, which was a bit disappointing given how isolated their relationship has been handled. Makoto saving her from certain death was outstanding and shows how much he's grown. I really hope they don't avoid showing us Hotaruko admitting the truth to her mother and siblings. That is a perfect way to close the arc for them. I don't want her and Shakomon to be out of the story forever either, I've loved them.>final spoilerI think this will be where Kyo hits Ultimate/Mega and suddenly all hell breaks loose. What they have in store for the third cour I do not know, but I have loved the Tactics arc.

>>23787892Seems like they didnt account for the time change with this. EST is an hour behind now instead of 2, so 9 there would be 8 est rather than 7.

>>23788810Unfortunately, we will never see it in the anime because Kyo is dead. Like, dead dead. Not even retrieving his e-Pulse can ever bring him back to life.
>>23789202
>>23789204Digimon in this series are like Servants in Fate: If the human dies, the Digimon dies with them, but if the Digimon dies first, the human could survive. Klay killed Kyo that episode, which instantly kills Murasamemon as well.
>>23789206We were told in Digimon Con Habakirimon hasn't appeared yet.
>>23789207The "yet" part is most likely made up. They meant Habakirimon will never show up because they knew Kyo dies that day.
>>23789210That's literally what the stream subtitles said but keep on with your delusion.
>>23789210But the preview of the next episode just showed him being coldhearted lol
>>23789341And Proganomon's claws were clearly blunt.
>>23789343And you see no blood on him in the preview. Indeed, what a shitty claw.
>>23789343Digimon so far have been completely unable to kill people, all they do is coldheart them. Fucking Naito got stabbed at the start of the episode and all it did was drain his e-pulse.
>>23789202>>23789210>He thinks Kyo is deadSo I expect you to be bitching about his survival after Tomoro gets his e-pulse back, with the others shown in the preview.

Who?
https://twitter.com/digimonweb_net/status/2036994045688402333New voting poll.
>>23793567>The Digimon version of Second ImpactObvious candidates would be ZeedMillenniumon or UltimateChaosmon, but the glimpse we get of its face(?) doesn't seem to look like either of them. It could easily be something new.
>>23793567>>23793643I was thinking it was something new too, but that close-up shot of the eye does resemble certain versions of Zeed. Toei's model even lacks the URL rings. Any other discrepancies can be waved by the fact it's an unstable fusion. It could really go either way, but I'm just throwing that out there.
So, I watch the 02 movie...oh boy. So, first off, I want say I'm a Pokémon fan, so I might get some things wrong, so sorry in advance.All I can say is, what the fuck were they thinking? Why have all the future version of the original cast and 02 have insanely poorly thought out stories? Tri, Last Evolution and here kept reconning the original endings and make up new bullshit. Here, you have a character that feels like a OC. >I was actually the first digidestine>I had a very special digimon that can grant wishes>Because of my wish, I enslaved the digimon you called friendsFucking what? It feels so out of place. Tri. did that same bullshit with a girl who actually part of the first group and again with that girl from Last Evolution. These characters have no right to exist at all.

>>23793700>Here, you have a character that feels like a OC.With Megumi Ogata voice, no less, just to hit home with that TORMENT INTO DEVELOPMENT TURN.
>>23793700What you have to remember is all three of those films (tri., Kizuna & THE BEGINNING) are basically rehashes of Hurricane Touchdown's plot.>new character with tragic backstory>new character is focus of the film instead of the original cast>new character has a super special Digimon>super special Digimon torments original cast members in some way>super special Digimon gets defeated and dies but not reallyIt's cheap melodrama for the sake of it. Redoing it once was bad enough, but three times? And what makes it worse is series producer Hiromi Seki admitted at Digimon Con (I think it was the very first one in 2022?) that Hurricane Touchdown was a literal fever dream rewrite when the staff were told its original plot was too dark for a summer film. So all this needless Adventure extension of an already needless extension in Zero Two itself in my opinion is based off a panic rush job.I genuinely hope the Adventure timeline is never revisited again in any way, shape or form. But I know it will be when Toei and Bandai start panicking.
>>23788869Six days later and I'm still blown away by this ep. Going to forego spoilers for this one.- As much as they set up Klay as a soulless, money grubbing monster, I'm impressed how quickly they made his motives so reasonable. The methods were dispicable, but the underlying desperation is kind of sympathetic.- I had theorized the e-Pulse experiments in the present were leading to some sort of Digimon arms race, but the actual context makes it so much more intriguing. I know Wong's motivations will be fleshed out later, but I find it extremely amusing that his plan boils down to seeing his experiments lead to an unholy gestalt abomination and thinking "BRO, WE GOTTA DO THAT AGAIN!" Classic mad scientist thought process. Also stealth confirming Jogress as a mechanic in this world.- I like how casually they revealed Tomoro's grandpa and hinted at how his family is tied into everything. I also appreciate his and younger Wong's designs having that classic Super Robot mad scientist style.- I'm also impressed at how Pyramidimon managed to be an overwhelming threat, yet still manageable due to being a forced evolution. Maintaining that level of tension while keeping the situation from feeling completely hopeless is praiseworthy. Felt rather game-like too.
>>23788869>>23794916- So Murasamemon's evolution tease turned out to be an enhanced Perfect evolution bank. Interesting that they're visually showcasing power levels in evolutions like that. Wonder how often that's going to happen going forward.- I seriously admire how this show can be so brutal at times and still make a Power of Friendship scene backed by the OP work so beautifully.- Kyo and Murasamemon really are the coolest characters we've had in a long time.- And much like a video game, we have the boss battle broken into stages. - I take it back, Klay's salty runback is prime asshole behavior, self-aware as he was.- Kind of dislike things being railroaded into Tomoro and Gekkomon facing him solo, but I can't say it won't be interesting.- Showing off Habakirimon after this ep is some nasty, diabolical work.
>>23794916I like how this answered a lot of questions about the Cleaner ecosystem by revealing>Actually the entire purpose of Sapotama is to create Digimon, their other features were a cover to popularise them and get as many people feeding them e-Pulse as possible
>>23795120Which of course explains why getting a Digimon is such a bad thing in BB's society: you've effectively uncovered the Sapotama's true purpose.
>>23795120>It's egg-shaped because it's designed to birth Digimon when it has enough e-Pulse inside it>This is part of Wong's plan to get his hands on a giant godlike Digimon>Wong gives you awesome benefits if you live inside his building shaped like a giant egg, carefully vetting applicants to ensure they meet his criteriaWelp
I just started watching this and got caught up. Post yfw you realized Kyo's eye color looks so flat because that's what Cold Heart victims' eyes look like and he's constantly feeding his e-Pulse to those babies and essentially just always depleted to some degree. I thought that detail was really cool.
>>23795137Kyo's eyes have always looked like that.
>>23795143I missed that. I choose to believe that's just the animators trying to make young Kyo as recognizable as possible to younger kids and just copying over his features without thinking far enough about it.
>>23795120>>23795132The finale of Beatbreak is going to be the same as Pokémon Legends Z-A isn't it. Chaos ensues as every Sapotama in the city hatches into a berserk Digimon at the same time, all the supporting characters return to help fend them off, clearing the way for the protagonists to fight the Shangri-La Egg mutated into a giant Devitamamon-like monster
>>23793567>>23793687
>>23795156The thing is we see Cold Heart Kyo in the episode 24 preview. His eyes might have no shine to them, but that's just how they are.>>23795157That feels inevitable.
>>23794916>Also stealth confirming Jogress as a mechanic in this world.Logical extension of pic related desu>>23795170Obviously he isn't actually Cold Hearted normally, but maybe you're right that I'm putting more thought into that connection than the artists did.
>>23795157https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1wOIK9a_Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6hw1-v1yDw
>>23795182>but maybe you're right that I'm putting more thought into that connection than the artists did.IIRC a few people did make that connection at first after the Nirinso episode. I think the reveal of Kyo's recruitment into the Five Stars stopped it.
Armalizamon in green.
>>23795189I think people were already guessing that Kyo had Cold Heart symptoms even before that episode, partly because of the burns on his neck before they were explained
>>23795182I mean Ludomon showed that it's possible to Cold Heart yourself by spending too much e-Pulse
>>23795235Looks like it happens to Tomoro this week.
Catching up since I stopped midway through episode 14 (the one with Snimon), now starting 17.Granit's backstory is just Our War Game if they didn't have a Windows 98 computer to fight back.

https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/2038051511960322139
>>23796728Yeah I'm not too huge into it, at least not for BeatBreak. It looks a little too standard dinosaur, a little too smooth and green. I actually really liked ArmaLizamon, the pangolin design was pretty unique. There's almost something generic and a little boring about MonarchLizamon in comparison.He's got that crescent moon on his head though, so they'll probably build on that. I'll wait until I see him animated before I make any real judgements. I wasn't 100% on board with BeatBreak in the initial reveal, but as a series I really enjoy it, I think it's one of the better Digimon anime.

https://nyaa.si/view/2091328Grade the Tactics arc.
>>23796980Needs more Light getting punched in the face/10
>>23796770Yes. That part doesn't change. But because of how fighting one of the Five Stars need more than just the four members of Glowing Dawn, they need new allies to join the fight against the World Union. The human silhouettes are familiar faces already, but will ultimately be their fifth and sixth members of the team (still think Hitomi is getting attacked one last time before she awakens her own partner Digimon, while Sone is getting a second partner, exactly like Owen from the Digimon Liberator manhua, with the exact same Digimon: Elizamon).
>>23797044>but will ultimately be their fifth and sixth members of the teamThey already had the opportunity to add another three and didn't take it. They're not adding anyone else to Glowing Dawn.
>>23797164>Adding mushrooms or child traffickers to your team Have a bit of standards anon.
>>23797169Yet Anon wants a literal soldier and the MC's shipbait added to Glowing Dawn. Push Reina and Makoto further into irrelevance.
>>23797175And yes, I have realised the total hypocrisy of my post after making it. I can't see any reason for Haruomi or Hitomi to be officially added to GD. Allies, yes. But official members? No.
>>23797175Hitomi is like Juri without the romantic undertones or being the big final impetus for the MC's growth. Rather she's more of an early player that shows that Tomoro is at heart a good person who cares about people and feels guilt if he has some negative effect on them in spite of being a loner. She's the first "outsider" that he feels compelled to save. Her being a recurring character is fine.Reina and Makoto are still important characters, it just doesn't seem that way because Digimon fans have a habit of thinking that how high your evolution stage goes represents how good of a character you are. Reina, Makoto, and Kyou are all still on two stages each. We don't even know if they have original Baby I and II stages like Gekkomon, or even an original Child stage for Cougarmon's case (though its card implies a connection to Liollmon). And of these characters, only Makoto received a new evolution on screen. Of course Tomoro getting a Digimon with six shown stages at this point is going to stand out, he's the main character.But does it matter? Reina and Makoto are getting Perfect next, and they've been great characters in the story. Reina was a real highlight in the episode where Ludomon evolved, but I think most people would say "Well Granit and Ludomon got the evolution sequence so it was THEIR episode".
>>23796771>When he starts shooting
>>23797419>Reina and Makoto are still important characters, it just doesn't seem that way because Digimon fans have a habit of thinking that how high your evolution stage goes represents how good of a character you areBut muh jobbing
>>23797419I had a reply written to this and then forgot to post the thing. Damnit.>Her being a recurring character is fine.I have no problem with that whatsoever. I just don't understand the hype she's received from the start. People saying she should get a Digimon of her own and join Glowing Dawn are being silly.>Reina and Makoto are still important charactersAbsolutely, and I was extremely pleased they finally got the focus they deserved as support members of the cast in the Tactics arc. I was annoyed they were pretty much shoved to the background in the first arc (as understandable as that was) but the Tactics arc improved them both significantly. This might be because I prefer him over her or because I really really like Hotaruko but I felt Makoto's improvement was a lot more notable than Reina's.And as for Hotaruko, the end of this week's episode is exactly why Makoto should be grateful his crush went no further than it did. No wonder she had a predator theme...
>>23797419>>23797572Some retards can't see character value outside of their win/loss record.
>>23797638You reminded me of this post from years ago about Frontier.
Has the franchise even done official couples since 02? I know we had crushes, but I can't recall any couples.
>>23797662The BomberNanimon guy picked the wrong franchise to join
>>23797572>>23797638>>23797651Discussions like this are always incredibly disingenuous. Obviously it's true that character development and supporting roles are important, but despite it's wealth of emotional content and all, Digimon is still an action series. When you have an action series with a group of fighters that gradually gets whittled down to one or two guys in the field while everyone else is filling support duties and/or cheerleading it becomes noticeably unbalanced, especially if those support roles weren't previously established (or if said support only takes those roles due to power creep). I don't see how people can argue nuance in one area and not see how important it is to handle the other with equal importance. That said, nobody should complain about that in Beatbreak since the show avoids this better than most series due to the established support cast with clear delineations, and a portion of the combat-capable cast has useful abilities outside of direct combat.
>>23796728>>23796745It's too derivative of MetalGreymon, not to mention being completely different from Armalizamon which is uncommon for protagonist's evos (they tend to build on the Champion forms)
>>23796715>Armalizamon references eating metal ore>MonarchLizamon is a MetalGreymon cloneKyo was the first "Metal" member of the Five Stars, and the second is a smug asshole who's probably irredeemable. Are they setting up Tomoro to become the third?Yes this would muddle the themes since the Metal Star is Jupiter while Gekkomon has moon symbolism, but they're already using the sun-themed Flaremon as the Mars representative.Maybe Glowing Dawn as a whole is the sun, and Tomoro is the moon because it reflects its light? Or his brother will have sun motifs if he comes back.Also Digimon has already done this kind of astrological grouping with the Big Death-Stars (aka the Seven Death Generals from Xros Wars), so some of them might show up as Ultimate forms of the Five Stars' Digimon.
>>23798478Personally I can't see the Five Stars even existing as a concept at the end of it all.
>>23798481Their crystal necklace things might be important somehow, with art like >>23788737 showing them glowing. In which case we might get a scene where they need to unite the five crystals to stop some threat, but Kyo isn't up to handling the Metal crystal any more so Tomoro has to step in for him.
>>23798478>Those hornsYou know, Dorbickmon would make a decent Ultimate for a BetelGammamon line.
>>23798488>Their crystal necklace things might be important somehowI did find it strange nothing was mentioned about them when Klay got arrested. Maybe all the Five Stars will rebel against Wong in some way and they end up being taken out one by one with Genjo being the final one for obvious reasons. That was my thinking.
>>23754654these are both good designs and worthy for monodramon. Idk how these things coexist alongside metalgreenmon>>23754752yeah. toei should not be allowed to make digimon
>>23798478>big death starspleadians>5 starsorder of the eastern star
>>23798115Adventure, at least to me, felt like the action is just kind of there because that's the target demographic. You watch the episode with all the plot and character interactions for a good 75%, there's some issue or threat, but the Designated Action Sequence of the Episode happens when Brave Heart starts playing and the bank sequences for evolution all play out one after another and attack animations get reused across episodes and they beat the bad Digimon of the week. It's there not because the writers are thinking "This is the story we want to write", but rather because it's expected with the target demographic. Adventure's animation is so limited anyway, that I think the setpieces, plot context and characters, bank sequences (particularly for Perfect onward), music, and initial attack uses do the heavy lifting. WarGreymon's punch in OWG is a great action moment regardless of all of this, the rest is icing. And I like the characters outside of Taichi and Yamato even though they fall behind, and Tentomon even makes a joke about it as soon as WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon appear. The way WarGreymon defeats Mugendramon is memorable (it really deserved more though), but I remember the setting of the abandoned city, looking for medicine, and Taichi losing his composure and getting into a fight with Koushirou because he's panicking over Hikari and not thinking rationally.I know Dragon Ball and what it's like to have a bunch of characters standing around reacting instead of contributing to ANYTHING. I've never thought this about Digimon (minus Takato's friends in Tamers, and maybe Adventure: to a degree depending on the episode). If you removed Tenshinhan from the Cell Games, nothing would change. Same with Yamcha. Chaozu isn't there. Yajirobe isn't there. Kame-sennin isn't there. Bulma isn't there. Kuririn is there to hold the bean bag and giant fleshlight.Reina and Makoto are characters whose absence I would feel regardless of if they evolve or not.
>>23798871>Tentomon even makes a joke about it as soon as WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon appearHeh
>>23796771I really like how they handled Gekkomon evolving straight to a Perfect form. That animation in how he smoothly morphs from Gekkomon to Armalizamon to Monarchlizamon all in one seamless sequence is nice.
>>23798871pretty good take. I thought adventure colon had some very good action sequences and did a reasonable job of highlighting other side characters>>23798993its hilarious how good the animation is for the evolution when the evolution is one of the worst of all time
>>23799009I think dedicated character episodes worked for it, but I agree with the criticism that it was the Taichi show. That's not to say they didn't try. Yamato feels relatively underutilized in the second half, like he's only getting the evolution sequences because he's Omegamon material. Takeru and Hikari have the angels and the relation to Taichi and Yamato (I think Takeru stands out more in my memory than Yamato actually). Koushirou is always Koushirou no matter the series, he's always giving the viewer the Digimon profile at the end of every episode. Mimi was a staff favorite. Sora and Joe feel like they're given participation awards, but I think that where a lot of the characters feel shoved into a B plot was when Koushirou, Sora, Mimi, and Joe returned to Tokyo and had their subplot where they didn't move from the same spot for a number of episodes to pretend they were still relevant (part of this is due to Covid). And also during the final battle where it's Taichi and Yamato vs Abaddomon Core while the others fight the part of it meant to keep them away from participating in the more important battle.As shoehorned in as Apocalymon was, I don't think anyone can complain about how he was defeated, with all the kids working together in the final battle.Speaking of Yamato, I don't consider him and Taichi to be the two lead characters in OWG, that clearly goes to Taichi and Koushirou.
>>23799223og vs : i think izzy got way more attention ( due to OWG) as did joe and mimi. Sora got minimized way more compared to the original. The stuff with the angels was very hype though i miss kari's dub characterization. Largely when they announced : I expected it to be highly derivative of the original but they deviated early and deviated often. Perhaps my low expectations are why i enjoyed it so much. There were a few excellent fights in colon , ogremon vs greymon and goddramon + Magnadramon vs milleniummon come to mind - though largely due to covid they couldn't keep up this quality the entire time. They should have done :02 and had it about tai and davis paling around like simon and kamina

Ghost Game unironically had a better balance but that was mainly because it wasn't an action series so it allowed others to get a spotlight....until the end when the finale was just two ultimates watching another ultimates fight toe on toe with an adult doing nothing.
>>23799223>Sora and Joe feel like they're given participation awardsIll stop you there because they do have very subtle character arcs in Colon that are tied to their Digimon evolutions, I thought they were treated better in comparison to the OG where it was obvious that the staff didn't really know what to do with them. The biggest lost in Colon was the lack of character interactions hence why it has overall weaker character writing but they did do more with certain aspects that never gets brought up.
>>23799859Joe's change in Colon is truly remarkable. He goes from "complete joke character" in his opening few episodes to "HOLY FUCKING SHIT" by the end of it.
>>23799868Such a great scene. Im not as hard on Colon as I should be because I see that the production got fucked over by Covid but it did have a lot of neat things about it.
>>23799900Same, I'll always wonder what it could have been like had Coronamon not screwed it out the ass. We wouldn't have had the idiotic bench arc for starters.
>>23799859how would you defend sora in colon i feel like she is the character who lost out the most from the original. matt lost alot too but he still had some good visuals in this season - being mysterious works for him. >>23799868i hope this is not the last time we see dijimoji being used
>>23799945Not that Anon but Sora's been treated awfully for 25+ years at this point. I'll never stop laughing at her Ultimate evolution in Colon being the only one not to be achieved by fighting a Digimon. They couldn't even give her that.
Sora has always been shit and the weakest of the OG Adventure kids anyway
>>23799945>how would you defend sora in colon i feel like she is the character who lost out the most from the originalThats Yamato. Sora got gradually worse throughout the course of Adventure and like many characters the writers didn't know what to do with her at a certain point so she winds up just being there. Theres a reason why she always winds up being worthless shipbait in every new Adventure iteration. Colon bypasses this by not tying her down and highlighting her good points as a character via Biyomon's evolutions.
>>23799945Yamato went from being the best written character in Adventure to a fucking footnote in Colon. Colon Sora being an improvement is more of an indictment of how bad her character has been treated since Adventure
>>23799965>Thats Yamato.>>23799969>Yamato went from being the best written character in Adventure to a fucking footnote in Colon.Unfortunately that was due to his voice actor getting Coronamon'd. I really liked his debut in Colon and it's a shame that happened to him. He got given the first ED to himself so it was clear he was supposed to have a lot more significance than he did.
>>23799969>Yamato>the best written character in AdventureExplain further please
>>23799994I thought that was strange for Anon to say as well, I've always had it as Mimi. Not>a fucking tree
>>23799959it has been an aeon since I have watched the original adventure but I remember her being pretty important for getting the entire group to cooperate and she was pretty much everyone's love interest initially due to mimi being unapproachable>>23799965minimalizing her did completely change the tone and cadence of the show- and I was worried colon would be too derivative when it came out but idk i think not having any romance with her what so ever makes little sense with her crest being love and all. ya'll are crazy for thinking she was improved in colon.
>>23798496How's this?
>>23799994He's a character that best describes the writer's philosophy when creating the anime on the surface he looks like an emofag "too cool for you" persona but he's actually self conscious about himself and how he treats others, you expect him to be a huge dick but his lashes outs are within reason and while he may seem aloof and above it all he harbors a lot of self esteem issues especially in regards to his brother and Taichi. Its the same way how one of the writer's of Adventure stated that they didn't want Koushiro to wear glasses because thats too stereotypical of a nerd character or how they wanted to go against standard tropes of monster anime and Yamato shows how much work went into that philosophy.
>>23800006Theres other forms love than romance anon also its just more so that Sora has never been that great of a character to begin with so Colon didn't diminish her like they dud Taichi and Yamato
>>23800006>I remember her being pretty important for getting the entire group to cooperateThat was the PicoDevimon arc where she gives out love to everyone to save them (bar Koshiro whose problems were his and his alone) but can't love herself.>she was pretty much everyone's love interest initially due to mimi being unapproachableNo she wasn't. Sora was the team mother. Mimi was the love interest.
>>23800028fucking mothers is how you suceed at life beta-anon
>>23800088That has nothing to do with Sora's role in Adventure. She was the senior girl in the team, Joe was the "team father". It's why they had the Bakemon episode together.
>>23800103wrongthere is a reason why people compete over the mother and not over the pink haired american fucking party girl
>>23800132Because they have bad taste?
>>23800132The staff love Mimi that much they were never going to give her that treatment they gave to Sora. I'm being serious by the way. They didn't even have her flirting in that infamous 02 poster.
>>23800138I miss Takeda.
>>23800444Joe and Mimi is a cute relationship.
>ultimate is just a stumpy lizard metalgreymon cloneGod dammit. One of the best seasons with one of the worst digimon line ups.
>>23799994Yamato seems stoic and cool and aloof which makes him seem somewhat unapproachable, but he's a huge bleeding heart and very protective of his brother. He's often the one to initiate altercations in the group (mostly with Taichi, but he also got fed up with Joe in the diner episode, though that ended up being a misunderstanding). He and his father live together, and he's the one doing the cooking. Unlike Takeru who has no issues with either of his parents, Yamato is quiet and awkward around his mother.I don't know if I would call him the deepest. I think most of the kids barring maybe Takeru and Hikari (due to their age) are well-developed. I just don't particularly care for Sora because even though I think she has complexity, I don't think that complexity makes her a particularly likable character compared to the other kids. When you consider that her issues all stem from feeling rejected by her mother, and that she copes with this by desperately searching for acknowledgement to fill this emotional void through being motherly to other characters, it makes her sound more self-serving. Compare this to Mimi, who may act selfish and run from her problems, but it's because watching Digimon suffer and die around her is harder for her to endure because she's so pure and innocent, so she'll regress to more childlike behavior like being a princess or even call it quits after the first Dark Master.
>>23800560Really good post. I feel the exact same about Sora and Mimi. I think a lot of people do in all honesty.
Does anyone else feel like the inclusion of Pandamon and Astamon fairly early in the series somewhat diminishes other Perfects? I know that they're common in the franchise as a whole at this point, but I really liked how Gekkomon evolving to Perfect felt like this huge deal because of how rare Perfect is treated. The series establishes them as being used by the Five whatever they're called in English, they're the best out there. Kyou already knows about the Ultimate stage (presumably from prior experience), and Klay had to pull off some hax to actually achieve it, and even then it was unstable. So even though Ultimate has already appeared and even been defeated, it felt really special and abnormal, while Perfect feels like the mark of someone with really high innate potential (Kyou, Tomoro) or someone with years of experience (Klay). Raito is a bit of a mixed bag, because he can evolve to Perfect, but even if Azhdarmon is hard to control in that state, he can still KIND of make it work.When MonarchLizamon appeared, he was this miracle of hope to Pristimon and Chiropmon, and Cougarmon's "Kanzentai...!" line felt like it held the full understanding of the magnitude of what occurred.And then I remember Pandamon and Astamon and that some random Digimon and Digimon used by mooks can just happen to be Perfect without there being a big deal around it. And Digimon tends to be like that, even back in Adventure with Andromon showing up early on, but Devimon being the first real arc boss. Some characters get introduced later at a higher base level so they can keep up with the core cast (ie. Tailmon is Adult, Juri had Leomon, Hirokazu has Guardramon/Andromon, Kenta has MarinAngemon, Ryo has Cyberdramon, Kouichi can use both Human and Beast Spirits from the start, etc.), so Perfect gets normalized. I just felt like apart from that early example in BeatBreak, it had done a good job at keeping Perfect as a big deal.
>>23800705I could have sworn Pandamon was an Adult, he was only able to take out Astamon with the kind of "pour all my e-Pulse into this even if I die" move that's normally been used to take out something of higher level.
>>23800736Astamon being such a jobber gets even sillier when you read its Reference Book entry>Though it is a Perfect, it possesses power surpassing that of an Ultimate
>>23800705>the Five whatever they're called in EnglishAren't they called the Five Stars in both English and Japanese? Their logo is even a star with each point representing one of their ranks.
>>23800746五行星 (Gogyōsei)星 (hoshi/sei) is usually translated as star but also refers to planets, with the other planets of the solar system being <element>-sei五行 (gogyō) means the five Chinese elements (which correspond with the inner planets + days of the week)行星 (kousei/gyōsei) is an archaic word for planet
>>23800746They're 五行星 (gogyousei) in Japanese, which is >五行 (gogyou), the five classical Chinese elements of Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth>星 (-sei, normally hoshi on its own), star or planetIn Japanese, these five elements combined with 星 create the planet names>火星 (Kasei; Fire + Planet) = Mars (also represents Tuesday)>水星 (Suisei; Water + Planet) = Mercury (also represents Wednesday)>木星 (Mokusei; Wood + Planet) = Jupiter (also represents Thursday)>金星 (Kinsei; Metal + Planet) = Venus (also represents Friday)>土星 (Dosei; Earth + Planet) = Saturn (also represents Saturday)I personally translate them as the Five Elemental Stars in my head to try and retain both meanings, or just leave it as 五行星 since it sounds less wordy.Incidentally, the moon (月; which represents Tomoro and Gekkomon) is tied to Monday, and the sun to Sunday, and they're called Glowing Dawn because dawn is the time when the moon changes to the sun.
>>23800746>>23800751tl;dr - they're themed after planets but Japanese doesn't distinguish as strongly between planets and stars, and in English you can get away with referring to planets as stars through poetic license
>>23800758>and in English you can get away with referring to planets as stars through poetic licenseI mean, they're "stars" in that they're the Cleaners who shine brightest, I'm pretty sure that double meaning was intended.
>>23800751>>23800756>>23800758Thanks, anons, I didn't know all this.>>23800768That's my thought, too. They're clearly playing around with the word on purpose.
>>23800771>>23800768I don't recall any "star cleaner" wordplay in Japanese, but then again, I have no idea how they're localizing Gekkomon's constant malapropisms (ナットー流 Nattōryū; "Natto-style" vs 二刀流 Nitouryuu "Two-Sword Style") since they're based so heavily on Japanese expressions and wordplay.
>>23800756>>23800771The days of the week are also associated with planets and the sun/moon in English. Though at some point most of the Greco-Roman god names got switched to equivalent Norse ones.>木星 (Mokusei; Wood + Planet) = Jupiter (also represents Thursday)Zeus's Day -> Jupiter's Day -> Thor's Day -> Thursday
>>23800778>I don't recall any "star cleaner" wordplay in JapaneseIt's notable that the official Japanese website calls them the Five Stars: https://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/digimon_beatbreak/character/five_stars/01/
>>23800779It's the same across just about every language.French, for example>Lundi (Lun is moon)>Mardi (from Mars)>Mercredi (from Mercury)>Jeudi (from Jupiter)>Vendredi (from Venus)>Samedi (from Saturn)>Dimanche ("day of the lord") with there being a historically cultural equivalence between God and the sunI have no idea why this is the case, because it's not like every culture was interacting with each other at the time each started coming up with day names. But I know Japanese has classical month names compared to what they use now (number + moon), so maybe it's a similar case where older names for days just vanished over time.
>>23800787>I have no idea why this is the case, because it's not like every culture was interacting with each other at the time each started coming up with day names.

>>23800791is that richard dawkins? what boomer am i looking at? The ancient world interacted more than we give credit for. Roman coins are found in japan, viking artifacts in canada. China sent a colony ship to California that could never make it back to the home land and blended in with the native population. Godan predates the english word for God and Odei predates the Latin word for God.
>>23801226It's Graham Hancock. His whole deal is promoting the idea that there have been globe-spanning civilizations since before the ice age so there's a lot of shared culture across the world because of that and global cataclysms reset and buried a lot of that history.
>>23801694muh nazca lines
>>23800756>Kyo = 今日 (today)>Tomoro = tomorrow>Monday isn't after Friday
>>23801888Tomorrow comes after today. Kyou was once Metal, but now he represents the sun. Like Cougarmon says, his e-Pulse now shines in many colors, like refracted sunlight. Dawn is the start of a new day, when tomorrow begins. 今日 (kyou; today) also contains the 日 kanji for day, but it's also part of the word 日曜日 (Nichiyoubi; Sunday) with 日 representing the sun in addition to day. Kyou's evolution catchphrase is "Shine brightly!", and the color used for him is gold. BeatBreak also airs on Sundays in Japan, so tomorrow IS Monday when it comes out.
