Howdy tamers, and welcome to the Lost in Translation One Digimon
podcast. This time we're covering Digimon
Beat Break episode 24 overlapping beats.
I'm Kebayas and I'm joined by Guz and Geo.
Hello. Or should I say, I'm joined by
Guz and Judge Geo who just passed the the level 1 judge
exam for Digimon. Yay.
Thank you. Thank you.
Now, now, officially, my word is law.
And it's good. Yeah, I can smack down the law
whenever people say things. No, but it's good.
I'm glad it was. It took a while, and I felt
discouraged last time. And then after a few months, I'm
like, you know what? I want to give it a shot again.
I feel like I know my stuff. A lot of people actually been
coming up to me and asking me for stuff.
And then when there are very fringe niche cases, I have a, I
have an idea of how I think it works.
I'll post it in the judge questionnaire and then the
judges will confirm it. So it's like, I think that gave
me the reassurance to say I do feel like I can do it.
So, yeah, and they're here. I am.
Yeah, and we're all very proud of you.
And like also the universe decided to congratulate you by
giving you a sickness, the illness.
Yeah, 100%. It's like, you know what?
We take it and give it. They give it to me some joy and
make it me a way of my ability to breathe.
Yeah. So we're hopefully making it a
short one, but a short one to us.
Yeah, well, we'll do our best. But in any case.
So this week, as a quick synopsis, 1 by 1.
The glowing Dawn members E Pulse are taken by Prognamon.
Tomorrow loses his temper and therefore his control over his E
Pulse. Melissamon goes berserk, but
isn't strong enough to defeat Prognamon.
Righto saves Tomorrow and snaps him out of it, reminding him of
sharing the beat with his partner Digimon.
Herkimon is then able to evolve to Monarch.
Lizamon defeats Prognamon and Clay Arrested tomorrow questions
Clay about Kumon. That was pronounced with the
Gokumon who is fairly vague about it and it's like you'll
find out in time. More ha ha ha.
Ominous bad guy energy tactics are disbanded.
Granite will live with Hotaruko and help out, which is really
cute. Meaning they're kind of going to
be their own like family I guess, kind of like glowing
Dawn. And meanwhile, Chairman Wong is
learning the Glowing Dawn forward play and he's doing his
ominous bad guy smirk. So with that out of the way,
discussions and decisions. What are all highlights this
week? I've got girls first.
I usually been taken the past few weeks to rain, so I'm gonna
pass the baton. Oh God, where to start?
I think this is an episode, so I was thinking about it before we
we kicked off. I think this is an episode that
really should be given like a three hour video just to dissect
like every single shot and frame within it.
There's this is a very dense episode.
It was so dense, in fact, that they they took off half the
intro to give us more. Yeah, yeah.
But when I saw that, I was like, oh, stuff is happening because
we're not getting an intro. They're doing like the the shown
and anime thing of like, no, no, no, no, no intro this week.
We do not. We simply do not have time.
And then they played it during the the fight because, you know,
shown an anime moment. And I was like, oh man, this
episode's going to be a good one.
You know, it's a good one when they just don't do the opening.
They just give you the credits in the opening sequence like.
What I feel like this was the second time they'd done that and
like I'm thinking of the Astamon episode, how it ends with him
shooting and then the next episode they did they that rings
a bell. I feel like I feel like it's
happened before where this is a second time of and on the
cliffhanger where the IT could be the crew are in danger.
Was it Cheratmon? The Cheratmon evolution episode.
No, I was thinking the the one where you have.
Yeah, the pandemic. One sitting at the top shooting
pandemon. Unless I'm mistaken and I'll
probably go back and recheck. Yeah, I, I can't remember, but
I. Think you are right.
I think it's the first time the intro's been cut in outside of
like the debut episode. Yeah, as far as like rolling the
credits while the ending is still being animated?
I was talking about the opening when they did that cuz the
credits were still on the screen in the opening because they
still needed to have the credits for the episode at the start.
But yeah, I was just like, you know, you're gonna watch some
good anime when they don't have the intro.
Yeah, they're like we got not enough time for.
This yeah, we'll play we'll play it for you later when things,
you know, hype up. But for now, you don't get the
intro, you don't get mad pulse for a little bit.
And I was like, this is this is some this is some good anime,
like like the whole the whole time.
This is a very high quality episode.
I think that even if you were to watch this episode with
absolutely no context to the show, this would still be like
one of those wait what the fuck? Like it is crazy.
It opens with obviously Kyo being shish kebab and then the
rest of the team gets shish kebab minus tomorrow.
And then it just, it just evolves and it becomes very like
crazy thing like Clay. You know, I do agree with a lot
of the commenters in the in the previous episode as well,
because I did go back and have a look at those.
They were like plays my favorite villain now like 100%.
Yep. Yeah, I agree.
Like the fact that he was like hey listen, I'm not even going
to use my own E pulse. I just stole your leaders E
pulse. I'm going to drain that shit
first and kill him proper while you fight me.
Good luck. Yeah, he's like his daddy is.
Yeah, he's absolutely up there with Kurata for me.
Like as like a good Digimon bad guy, like a bad guy who I'm just
like, oh, I hate this guy, but I'm meant to.
And it's just feel he feels very be fairly well written just
because we get like he has this back story and I guess he was
also a young soldier in his own way.
Like you can see him like cold hiding people, collecting money
for it. He's kind of like this bounty
hunter, even though he's not a child soldier, he's still fairly
young in these flashbacks, like getting those little shots
there. And in general, the episode like
felt very like short, like I was like, oh, what?
It finished already. Yeah, it was an easy 20 minutes
to consume. But like, even though it felt
short, there was also that moment of like, holy shit, there
is so much in here. Like, yeah, genuinely, it is
probably one of the most dense episodes, barring maybe the
opener. Yeah, just because, like, it
gave us so much. I mean, one of my low lights,
which I will have to just sort of transition into, you know,
tomorrow's girlfriend Righto coming in, saving the day.
I think that was a little bit. I I actually liked that because
it's reflected that moment that we already had with, with Righto
and Monodromon when tomorrow came in and was like, listen to
your Digimon. Can't you hear him?
He's suffering. You need to control your your a
pulse. He is hurting.
And we got that exact moment in this episode where Righto comes
in slaps tomorrow. He's just kind of like, bro, can
you not hear that? Get can you not hear Gekkamon
right now? So I actually liked that because
it was like a a mirror of that. It's a great narrative bookend
and mirror like I'm not denying that.
I just I don't like the DGX machina of it all.
Yeah. I felt like it's too soon of
that, like sort of like because the way you have to think, man,
I do concur because the narrative mirror reflection was
makes sense because it's like, yeah, he saved me at the time.
Now I say to him that's that's a very no like reasonable
conclusion. It should be end of the series
like kind of. Thing Yeah, exactly.
It feels like, well, hold on a second, righto in a span of,
what, 24 hours now all of a sudden is able to connect with
Monitor Man and has this change of heart, like, so profound.
Yeah, but it just feels like very sudden.
Yeah. Like if we're talking about
character arc of the ebb and flow, going up and down,
crashing hard, regaining confidence, crashing again.
He's just come from I'm crashing to I am now like the savior.
But it makes sense. Again, if someone were to snap
tomorrow, it does. You can see it with Ryder.
Yeah, I like slap. The slap was good.
Yeah, I see. And that's why like it's not
it's weird. It feels like it's a mid light,
like it's got its pros and cons of like it works, but too soon
to pull that trigger with that character.
That character, it does more like right toward the service
than it does like the narrative. Yeah, I mean, I think it's
because this is kind of like the the end of this like that the
team tactics arc. Like they'll probably show up
again, but they're not going to be like we're not going to have
episodes and episodes of them just kind of being there when
we've already learnt about their back story.
They've kind of all been fixed in in their in their arc.
Like Hoturuko is kind of more open about things, is willing to
ask people to help. Granite doesn't want to die
anymore and Righto is kind of like more in touch with these
emotions. He realizes that Monodromon he
he called him Monodromon, his buddy.
He said he's my oh, my buddy saved me.
Like just as I was going to be cold hearted, He he broke me out
of the sarcophagus. Like like he it is clearly more
open. He's you know, less kind of like
I'm a genius. I know everything.
You know, I'm going to use tomorrow, use Monodromon like a
tool. So I kind of think that this is
like the end of their little slot off What?
What are you dying about? Well, I just think it's like,
yeah, I'm gonna use tomorrow like a tool.
Yeah, I'm just. Calling my boyfriend,
girlfriend, bro. That's crazy.
My screen like I just looked at my screen and it's just where I
wrote down my quick synopsis part and I just my eyes like
went on where I wrote tomorrow. So like I had I read that like I
read tomorrow with my eyeballs and then I set it with my mouth
hole like I I yeah, but I, I'm, I meant Monodromon.
So that that was kind of nice that he's, you know, that all of
the team tactics are kind of like, you know, that they're
their story arcs that we had kind of done.
Like I don't think we're going to be really returning to them
too much. Like it'll be more like the
mushroom gang, how they just kind of maybe pop up every so
often. Like I don't think I think we're
done with their storylines. I think we're going to now focus
on the members of Glowing Dawns and their own storylines
themselves. Yeah, I agree.
I think it's a nice boat to tie on.
You can at least send those characters off and just feel
reassured that they're on their journey, but it's not gonna be
as plot relevant, which is nice. And then that's one five star
member down, one of the polecule members got kicked out and I
guess and other ones are going to start throwing her hat in
the. Ring yeah, I think, I think Rose
is going to be the next one, which is exciting.
So I'm looking forward to seeing what like what her deal is.
She's got like she's got her own lackeys.
She's got like a man and a woman.
She's kind of like who are I guess her butlers or her
servants or something. Her own Polypool guy.
Yeah, she's got her own polypool going on.
Like, I'm looking forward to seeing that.
I also am looking forward to seeing what partner Digimon her
lackeys have. If they have Digimon themselves,
which I can imagine they would like.
Will one have a Palman? Yeah, like I'm looking forward
to seeing what kind of evolutions or Digimon that.
We'll see Question yeah. What would happen if they just
all of a sudden one of the lackeys has Pteramon that.
'D be so cute. I really want to see Pteramon
like be in the show. Yeah, just just because I mean
look to be fair if we got Porgata monitor MIDI, Yeah and
like here's to say none of the other little writer great.
Did you want going to be involved?
Yeah, that'd. Be funny.
Yeah, like I really would love to see one with Terra Mon.
I I mean, it could be with Rose because Rose has a lilom on and
that's wind guardians. So maybe she's got the the the
Wind Guardians kind of like lined up.
Yeah, that would be cool. So maybe one would have like a
Palamon or a fluoramon. Fluoramon would also be cool,
but. Terrible Blue Ward is Is this
the resurgence of Blue Ward? Like low key.
Well, we, I was just talking about that with Gus earlier,
because when we were talking about the Monarch Lismon, I was
like, oh man, it's just vortex from one at home.
And then I look, I thought about the fact that we have vortex
Shamon and Monarchismon who have the the wording of this, this
Digimon battles the Digimon rather than, you know, it's
attacking A Digimon they are battling.
So I'm wondering if green cards in the TCJ will start to have
that as more like a mechanic or a keyword of the Digimon battle.
So I feel like that could be something since we know that a
new blue Lord is coming. We got that the key art of some
Digimon from the upcoming sets. We have Chronomon and we have
Ravemon. And in that same screenshot we
also have Bloomlord. So I'm wondering if the new
Bloomlord will have something like suspend some Digimon or
when one of your Digimon suspends by an effect battle
like what? Once per?
Yeah, interesting. So it's kind of like Vortex from
on, but it's specifically Digimon, your Digimon by effects
or maybe a Digimon by an effect, I guess.
So it's a little bit more specific than just when any
Digimon suspend, but that's kind of to be expected from a level 6
to have something that's slightly weaker than the level
7. So level 5, Bloomlords level 6.
Oh no, I thought we were just talking about the the was it?
Yeah, Oh yeah, Monarch this one, Yeah.
But in this case I'm like hypothesizing about how a new
Bloomlord could be like a step step below the vortex from on
which is whenever a Digimon is suspended by an effect, this
Digimon may battle or something along the.
It might be a your turn as opposed to an all turns, but I
think that's getting a little off topic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, but yeah, so monarchism on is
vortexual on home. But yeah, we were just talking
about like how bloom like this this could be a resurgence of
bloomlords. So I would like to see Bloomlord
be maybe roses Digimon we because it would be boring if it
was just Lila Mont evolves into Rosemont.
Like we've seen that before. You know, we saw it in Savers as
much as I loved Savers, but I would like to.
See, I'm going to bloom model with sick actually.
Bloom mode or Banjo Lilymon? Yeah.
True, cuz both have like kind of evil vibes yeah, we could go
Rafael Zamon or Lotus Mon, but we have seen bio Lotus Mon as a
bad guy before so that would be a little bit like too too
similar to what we've seen in savers.
But personally I'm hoping for bancho Lily because that would
suit because it's kind of like a more like evil version.
Bloom Lord, despite being vaccine is kind of like you know
it looked it looks like it could be like a bad dude, so that
could be cool, but more more realistically, it might be
Bancho Lilymont, but it would will probably be boring in
Rosemont. Yeah, so we've got like, you
know, at the end of the episode, we have the the the gym leaders
react to Clay being arrested. We have a flying fish, which of
course is one of my low lights always.
And then another highlight for Guzz right there.
Yeah, he's got. He's got white.
Food. Exactly.
You want a perfect episode, do everything else right.
Just have a still image or a moment where his wipe is just
featured in and we'll watch this be like a high high rated
episode. Yeah, and include the flying
fish and you. Can no sorry, have to quickly
defend myself there Geo. First off, it was a high rated
episode before I saw her. And then it it still the yeah.
It went it went from like A5 to a 5.75.
Yeah, we don't go higher than 5. No, it's a 567 God.
No, this is no. No.
I have. I've been terrorizing locals by
doing that and nobody is amused. Context and I know we're going
so many of tangents so much from.
We're going to make it a short one, I said.
Like. There's something I actually
wanted to say but like we've got like 7 more.
Tangents. OK, OK, Geo.
Geo can finish this tangent and then we can go to go.
See, I'll go on my tangent afterwards.
Gus has got something important, hopefully.
I wanted to say Monarch Lismon. Yes, I think he was very, very
funny looking at the start. He's always because because
here's the thing right? It looks nothing like
Armalisimon no, but it does look like Gecko Mons level 5.
The reason why I say that is because we've got the mood motif
on the forehead. Still.
Armalisimon sort of lost that. I didn't say that Some other
commenters had mentioned that they were upset that Armalisimon
lost some of that moon motif. It's back, but I do feel that
Monarch Lisimon is a Tusk Mon evolution, not a It feels more
like big task Mon rather than big armalism on.
I feel that something something's going weird there in
the design. But having said that, it's
Digimon that happens when level fives happen.
We have cats that turn into sexy women.
Oh. Yeah, right.
Just like, so like there's a bunch of other.
OK, I don't know what cats you've got, but let me know.
But basically like, I do think it was really funny that
tomorrow is just like, damn, you know what sucks?
Punching things. He's a gun.
Also. It's a sword sometimes or an
axe. And then the head also does the
thing and it's just really, it's just really funny looking
because the second I saw it, I'm like, this is a green feathery
chicken looking thing. This is a Kobe Digimon, hands
down. Yeah, he's baby.
But just like I'll counterpoint to that, or I guess in addition
to that, is that I'm wondering if the forms evolve as the
humans E pulse or their emotions, or even them as a
person evolves. So while Armelizamon is kind of
like, you know, he's wearing armor, he's very protected.
He's not, you know, he's kind of, you know, protected from the
world, and that's kind of how tomorrow was at the start of the
series. He was very much just like I'm
getting I'm I'm doing this because of my own issues and my
and Asaka, I don't want to be part of your family.
And he was kind of like, you know, hiding himself.
He was protecting himself from the world by having this like,
you know, this armor on this, like, you know, this, this
barrier, these walls. But now he's kind of broken down
about that. He wants, he literally says, I,
I I want to protect my family. He calls them his family.
He is there to help them. We have at the end where Kyo
wakes up being in hospital and Rayna and Makota were, you know,
on top of him, like cuddling him and like crying and Tom Rocha
standing there. And then he just breaks down and
he likes he just balls like also like on top of Kyo.
So I wonder if the evolution design has changed so
drastically because Tom Roy himself has changed.
As as a person, he's not wearing this, you know, armour anymore.
He's doesn't have this like this wall built up between himself
and everyone else. He is more like, you know, he's
more open with his emotions. He's growing.
So since this series uses the partner's emotions and the
Digimon's emotions are kind of In Sync, I'm wondering if the
and you know, the Digimon themselves being a mirror of the
human partner. I'm wondering if that is also
reflected in the evolution and the path that it takes.
Because I feel like that that's the only way that, you know, we
have such a seemingly drastic change.
And also the color change like the armor of Armalism 1 is like
that purple, but when that's all broken away it's just green
underneath so. Yeah, I think you mentioned once
that Armalismon felt like a Poemon did evolution rather than
a Gecko evolution. Which I still stand by which I
mean not a bad thing. Love.
Poemon should be a bird. Not a bird.
It should be not. But it's a fruit.
It's. It's a dragon fruit.
It's a dragon fruit, but you know, it's a little bit like,
it's also a Digimon. Like we have things that are
just like. Kirby Here's the thing.
Fish are also birds. Yeah, and I hate that.
Like so why can't a fruit also be a bird?
Why can? Why is a like the fish known as
aquatic type, also known as avian like you?
Know what actually legit? Let's let's let's go with that.
If if, if a rock, a mineral can become part dragon.
I'm fairly certain a fruit could become.
That's my aim in line, My, my, my, my aim as a fruit is to
become one day a bird like that. That is very relatable.
But. My goal as a fruit one day is to
become a dragon, yeah. The the the store of the koi
fish, but it's actually the store of the Gus fruit.
The Gus fruit, but you know. If I become a dragon, I I, you
won't catch me fucking anywhere dude.
I'm off to a dragon shit. I'm going to be a goatee.
Yeah, you are. There you go, go, go.
It comes full circle. The the the koi fish, the goat,
the the koi goatee. Because the.
Fruit which, which part, which part like whenever we go to like
a Digimon event, like a regionals or a Nats, I get like
even either people I've met there who were like Interstate
or like, you know, my friends from locals to sign the the
lanyard and Gio wrote that I'm the goatee.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Which is my favorite? With the love heart because I
care about yeah yeah. Now just piggy backing off of
Monarch Lismon and then before if if we call the shift towards
Mahalo's low lights ball rolling.
Monarch Lismon was funny to me because firstly I like the the
moon motif on the head and how it uses its ability similar to
how Amalismon would spin really quickly.
I thought that was a really, really cool feature, but when I
saw it, I'm just like, oh OK, so another main protagonist with
another middle grade looking kind of guy for the ultimate.
Yeah. It's like you got middle grey,
rise grey, now you've got monarch Lismon.
Everyone's a lism, one with guns.
Yeah, which I'm fine with. Like, you know, it's, it's the
theme of Digimon with like I guess Vimon being like one of
the outliers. It's got guns.
Yeah, but it's not like. It's somewhat of a lizard.
Yeah, but it it's not like as much of like a lizard plus strap
metal to it. They're true.
Yeah, I mean it. It feels like his guns on his
side are just belts with. Oh yeah, I mean, yeah, they're
they're Digimon kink belts like. That's not.
Yeah, they're very silly. Oh yeah.
Like, but I mean I feel like I. I I love the combination
combination of this is a lizard and or T Rex and then we slapped
A railgun to it. That's my favorite Digimon.
I'm just glad it wasn't green purple like as a card I've like
I will take green black like that is that is beautiful like
I'm. Fine, but it's a random one too.
Yeah, like I do. I do want to quickly say before
letting you continue Geo because you know, interjections and
stuff. The second that I saw, no, I'm
forgetting it, Monarch Lismon. There it is.
I had the song Laser shooting Dinosaur Pop into my head by
Angus Mix 6. If you haven't heard it, it's
fine. But when you watch it, it's just
AT Rex with a bunch of laser beams and mini guns.
And that's exactly the vibe of Monarch Lismon.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know what's also vibe with Monarch Lismon?
I just had to double check it's a Cyborg so technically you can
have access to. When did you evolve in battle?
You're like my removal is US battling DP.
Let's have fun. Not not me.
I'll have fun. Yeah, you'll have fun.
I'm not looking forward to it. But other than that, terms of
highlights, it was overall actually a really, really good
show. Great, great way to end the saga
that is Team Tactics. Again, hats off to the character
depth that is Clay. Genuinely A fantastically
designed villain just thrown through even to the very end,
even when he's being walked away and taken away in custody.
Just oozes true villain a lot. And it's it's nice.
It wasn't it didn't feel like a power friendship.
It didn't feel like one of those slapstick, he's just a villain
and he'll be like Team Rocket kind of vibes.
Already knows he was like a big baddie and it was sick in
respect of that and just the heartfelt moment.
I mean, I was tearing up at the end of the episode.
I came close. I was also, I had the tissues
ready, maybe because I'm seeing. Yeah, you'll see I already.
Have the tissues there. So I had the tissues to go to
go, but like that was 1/2 L episode.
Like I felt it was great. And that's something I'm really
enjoying with feet break. It really plays on the emotions
and like isn't afraid to like make the audience feel things
either. It could be feel discussed, feel
a bit of roughness or feel like I, I, this is a bit of a topic
I'm not comfortable with or, you know, I think things of that
nature and, and I do enjoy that. I think I think that's quite
cool. Oh yeah, it's quite cool.
Yeah, absolutely. Like I that there's I, I said
to, to guys before we started recording, I was like, I don't
have much in the the synopsis because not a lot really
happened in terms of you can talk about like, in terms of
like, you know, the start of the episode to the end of the
episode. But a lot happened in terms of
like why things happened. Like a lot of it was just a
fight tomorrow gets in touch with his emotions and then gets
an evolution. Like.
So the synopsis is fairly short in terms of, you know, point A
to point B, Yeah. Whereas the actual content of
the episode and, you know, everything that happened, like
we have the the writer stepping in, we have that mirroring how
tomorrow was like, hey, can you not hear your Digimon suffering?
Like there was a lot that happened in between, you know,
the the point A and as in like, you know, glowing dawn and all
being taken out one by one to the point B, which is the
evolution. Not a lot happens.
But at the same time, a lot happens in this episode, which
is it just makes it really good. Like sometimes they are like a
lot will happen in the episode, but that's just because a lot of
like, you know, interactions and scenes changed, but the content
of the episode was fairly like, it's like if you have a burger
and the burger bun is really thick, Like it's a dense burger
bun. And then you kind of have like
maybe like a piece of ham and then you have like the the
bottom of the bun, which has a name.
I can't remember. There's like specific names for
the bread. But anyway, you know, the bread
bread bun. So that's really thick.
But then you've just got this tiny bit of meat and then
compared with, you know, a thinner bun with like a lot of
feeling. And then, you know, the the
bottom of the bun, like maybe they're the same size, but one
has like just dense bread, which, you know, maybe it's nice
bread, but it's still just dense bread.
And then you've got lots with, you know, feelings in it.
So I guess that that's a comparison between like, I know
I had a point and I lost my point halfway through that you.
You, you're there. All I could think of now is a
burger burger, burger burger. Yeah, Burger, I don't.
Want a burger? Burger it's it's a very valid
point and it's a very valid point and that's why I think you
Gus and I are on the same trajectory or like it's the same
like beat right got him, but bottom.
Yeah, OK, cool. Sorry, Gus, did you say bottom?
Did you say bottom? Or got him, got him.
Yeah, got him because I heard bottom.
I heard, got him and then Geo said bottom and I was like, I
don't. There's two ways.
You are more than welcome to be as much of A bottom as you
please. I'm never gonna take that away.
From you so. So it's not so I'm more like
just a kid at heart. Bottom, bottom.
Yeah, that's a Virgo analogy. Makes sense.
Yeah, Like, you're right. On the surface, it was a very
straightforward battle episode. Yeah, which I guess.
Power up battle. Yeah, which I guess is cool like
for like, because, you know, Digimon is basically a kids
franchise, maybe like a preteens franchise.
So it's, you know, it's simplistic, kind of like, you
know, again, point A to point B is that's fine.
But then there's there's like the the mate, if you actually
think about it, if you actually, you know, yeah, you know, watch
every everything and try to analyze it.
So that is really nice. Like it's good if you just take
it at face value of, you know, they show up, they start losing
the bad guy. There's a moment of like, you
know, emotions and then they evolve and beat the bad guy.
And a lot of Digimon is that, but it's sort of like the the
path they take, like how superficial it could be like,
oh, have you tried trying harder?
Or you'll always be my friend. Like it can be like kind of
like, you know, simplistic or it could be something, you know, a
little bit more in depth that mirrors previous interactions
and previous episodes, which is what we got in this one.
So yeah, I really, I really like this episode.
I don't think I have any low lights.
Like, I get what you both said about the the writer showing up
because a lot of it is just, you know, a lot of beat break is
just like a character shows up just as another character is
about to die. Like that does happen a lot.
Oh, yeah. Like a highlight that I've just
remembered. Rayna just running into just
punch play like my girl, like Masaru moment, Like she would
just like, all right, I'm gonna throw it down.
Yeah, no, there was very little to not like about this episode.
I think even if I'm being real, the writer thing, yeah, it's a
little annoying because that's just the pattern of the show at
the moment. But even then, it's still not
bad because like you said, Kobe, we do get that little mirror
moment that hey, bro, like it's not that like you're wrong for
feeling the way that you're feeling.
It's like you're letting your emotions cloud you.
And that's representative in the way that you communicate with
your Digimon. Yes, great, whatever.
Fantastic. Which I think is a.
Great life lesson. About like a lot of things like
Oh my God, CC cleaner just popped up again.
I knew it would happen because before the podcast girls was
like, oh, it's popping up. Go away.
Before the podcast girls was like, oh, CC cleaner just popped
up and then I was like I this is going to happen to me mid
recording. I just know it.
But yeah, sorry, what was I saying?
We were saying that even though right righto might be the quote
UN quote low light, it's really not that big.
Like so much of this episode is still so good.
And I think what was actually really funny, I think with the
righto scene is that he just mentions to Tom Rose just like,
look, man, you just need to calm down.
Then Gecko Mon has a moment where he's like, listen,
perspective shift. Yeah.
We're not borrowing from each other.
We're adding to each other. And then it's just like, oh,
yeah, mad. Yeah.
Anyway, here's a gun in my arm. Woo.
Yeah, like, like it's a very Digimon moment of like, now I
have guns. Yeah, everyone has guns.
Fucking go. Come on, we'll have has a gun.
Just going on my walking stick is also two submachine guns is
crazy. I do have an actual lowlife, but
it's less, this is less about the anime and more a nitpick to
Crunchyroll and like, it's a matter of crunchy.
Yeah. OK.
So with Crunchyroll, what they do is when you go to select
their continue or watch the next episode or whatever, they'll
have a still image of a senior. Yeah.
It had the still image that they used was that of tomorrow,
standing next to monopolism. Oh, no way.
I'm just sitting there. I'm like you, you can't do this.
This is like. That's that's don't.
Get me wrong with the leaks and leaks and stuff for Digimon TCG
yeah really knew the level 5 was being leaked and then it was
like, oh, would there be a little 5I mean make sense
narratively it's it seems to be on that trajectory yeah, but you
can like avoid it. Whereas if you go to country
role and you Click to watch the episode, it's just right there
in. Front of you like I I know that
when it's a Digimon new episode day I know not to check Twitter
until I've watched the episode because I followed the official
Digimon accounts and they will always like say hey new Digimon
added to the Digimon reference book here is a big gun lizard
Mon and then this is what it looks like and it'll be like ah
cool I guess that happens and The thing is they don't wait
until it airs on Crunchyroll. It's just as soon as it airs in
Japan. So I know not not to check
Twitter, but you know, going on to Crunchyroll and seeing that,
like I, I was lucky I watched it on like on White's account, like
at his place. So he had like he, we watched
last week's on my account. So he all you have to do is
click this week's episode and then go next episode.
So we didn't see the, the, the thumbnail, but that is that is
very annoying. Like I'm very.
Lucky. Maybe it's because I was
watching so much crosswords last night because I was bored.
For you, I choked. I like crosswords.
It actually just looked like a Big Blue metal Braymon to me
because of the color in that scene.
Yeah, So I was just like, oh cool, there's a level 5.
It looks like Kira Ha's Gray 1. So I know it's not going to be
that, but if it is, that's funny shit and.
It turns out it's. Crossword Saber.
Tricky. Oh my gosh, guys, I just
realized that your B tuber model, it has the the patch or
the pin that your actual jacket has like the my favorite one,
the the the the magic carp, the magic carp.
I hadn't noticed that before. And I was just like, Oh my gosh.
There's a sexy magic carp and a sexy Bulbasaur watch.
Oh. Yeah.
That is I love, I love that I love how mirrors your actual
like jacket, like I've I've seen you wear that that jacket pretty
much. I I want to say every day that
I've known you. Kind of.
Yeah. I'll be there at next rages
where he will be wearing a jacket and then crying and then
once I kick his ass just. Just we're gonna be in the car
and we're just going to be like, we're gonna be like having such
a good time again. Gooning.
No, not gooning, we'll probably just be like like just ragging
on Frontier for 9 hours straight.
Oh my God. Actually, before we move on,
thank you for bringing that up. This felt like Frontiers done
right when I said that my whole favorite part of Frontiers is
when all their friends die. Yeah.
Right, and it goes on for like 18 episodes.
Yeah, but when the characters lose.
Yeah, this is how you do it. This is how you make your
characters lose. This is where it can keeps that
emotional weight, the narrative weight, and the stakes are just
absolutely brutal. Yeah, this is how you frontier.
Oh, absolutely. And I think like it was done
right where you still get like a happy ending in the end where
everyone's back together. And that's good.
We got the I haven't seen Frontier.
So I'm like, oh. You're you're lucky you've been
saved. I'll get there one day, but yet,
like if anything, the callus have changed code and I think
they've done it right. They've done it well.
Because now this is gonna be a motivator tomorrow and achieve
Ultimate. It's gonna push Rayner and
Mikado. And it seems when we get to
predictions, yeah, we're going back to a Mikado esque.
Probably a little Side Story from the voice overs.
Would you be good? I mean, we need to get we need
to get everybody back up up scratch.
But I agree. It's it was done right and you
felt like you again. They play with our emotions so
well, Like you feel angry, feel upset.
You feel like you want to punch play.
Yeah, you feel the anger that tomorrow feels.
Yeah, and protective over Kyo because you know that this is
like he is kind of the the parent of this family because
he's the eldest, but he's also, he has the responsibility of the
guardian of these kids. So you feel for him because he's
always been the one to save them.
He looks after them. He makes sure that they're OK.
So you feel that emotion. So I absolutely agree with you.
Like it's a very emotional episode.
It's gag worthy for sure. Yeah.
Shall we do ratings and then? Proceeds yes, so first up,
favorite character mine. This was really hard for me
because I guess I wanted to choose tomorrow, but also Rayna
did the punch and also I really like I really like righto, like
stepping in and being like, hey, bro, listen, listen to your
Digimon bro. Like I really like that.
So it's really hard for me to pick like a favorite character
about this. But I'm gonna have to say
tomorrow just because it was nice to see him come out of his
shell. Like, I thought he was just
going to stand there and do like the edgy anime, like edge Lord,
like stand in, stand in the corner, look down with his
glasses, like, you know, yeah, reflecting the light.
And like a single tear rolls down his cheek.
I thought they were doing that. But no, he he like, you know, he
just went like this on Tokyo and just bawled his eyes out.
Like that was that was great. And you know, going back to what
I said about how the evolution of his Digimon reflect the
evolution of him, he he got rid of that armour, he took the
armour off. He broke down the walls between
himself and the outside world and he was vulnerable.
He showed his emotion to his family.
So I'm going to have to say Tom Ro, just because like, this was
a big moment for him and like, yeah, so well done, Tom Ro.
How about y'all who we off at y'all's favorite?
It's it is a hard one for sure. There are.
It's just one of those things, man.
I really liked Gecko Mon sitting there and just being like
tomorrow. It's not about me or you, it's
about us. I loved the slap, I loved the
punch. I loved Clay just bullying
children, just catching the fists and then just like being
like bro what is even this? He has beef with these kids.
Yeah. Everyone's got beef with these
kids, man. We need some vegetarians.
And it turns out the vegetarians are about to have beef too.
It's crazy. They're going to have like the
artificial beef you're. Going to have some tofu about
it, I tell you. But oh, it's it's just it's a
tricky one because I think even I mean, I would have liked for
Progenamont to have more lines and to have said more than just
once or twice. I think programon in that way
has probably been done pretty dirty.
That's not a joke about being mostly sand either.
I promise. I did like the fact that he was
like, oh, Raito's flying. That's crazy.
Sucks in legs and farts out sand just.
The physics, like the little sand jetpack, I was like, that
is so funny. Like it's so.
Like it's Gamera coded from like the Japanese media.
Yeah, and it's it's also so like, you know, Digimon
weirdness, like sure, like OK, I I do dunk on the fish flying and
that does annoy me. But like this one was at least
like kind of like showed you why it made sense.
Like I could suspend my disbelief that sure just fart
out sand as a jetpack. Why not like?
I mean even Righto was like, bro, that's cheating and it just
gets absolutely. We we have we have flying fish
and flying combination. Got flying rocks?
But I I will take this and say how about a fighting flying rock
turtle? It's everything I've ever
dreamed of. Why not?
Pyramid was floating. It was hey.
Yeah, yeah. But that's like, you know,
that's like magic, I guess. I don't know.
But no, no, no. I draw the line at fish flying.
OK. Like I will believe that when
fish fly like except for flying fish, but they're they're real
because they're real, but they don't like fly.
They just kind of, they just jump like that's like I'm, I'm.
Hallahead falling with style. Yeah, Hallahead Cannon pyramid.
He's not flying, he's just fighting a lot.
That might be cannon. Now that we've seen prognum on
do that, I think I think that might actually be cannon.
He's like, he's like, I don't know if anyone's seen One Piece.
And then with Gear, Gear 4, Luffy and I was like, his legs,
yeah, his legs, right? It's just hovering.
It's just kicking the air so hard, fast and hard.
It's floating. Animated.
And that's now my head cannon is pyramid is just farting so hard
and fast and he's floating. I can't wait to tell, like
everyone who plays rocks. It's like a ha.
Yeah. So you've got a farting pyramid.
Yeah, you just got to drop some new lore on them.
But yeah, so who? Because Gus, Who's your favorite
character? I can't really pick and it's not
even it's not even the the appearance of the water gym
leader either, because she did not actually change my enjoyment
of this episode at all. None of the five star reactions
really did just to get ahead of that before we get to the
ratings for obvious reasons. The like, yeah, it's it's a real
hard 1. I think it has to go to team
hands. Like I've been gonna give it to
Rayner and tomorrow for just the sheer audacity to walk up to a
30 year old Prince who's also a refugee and a war criminal and
just try to deck him. Yeah, I think I think Team hands
deserves the MVP badge for this because even like the pain in
the voice actor for Wolvermon and and.
Christymon. When when raining, it stopped on
like I genuinely, when I said at the start of this, we need a
three hour episode to break this down, I meant this in like like
like I've mentioned before, like a pay talks anime kind of
episode. Like I want to talk about each
shot. I want to talk about the
colours, I want to talk about the composition, I want to talk
about the sound design. Just on that, like the voice
acting was incredible. Like I was thinking about that
the entire time. The screaming, like the the
anguish in the scream was just like I was thinking, damn, like
voice actors do like when they scream and it sounds like that.
It's just like your vocal cords must be like shot like that
sounded like a painful scream that you only do when you are
just, you know, it's just pure anguish.
Like you don't hear people scream like that unless
something traumatic has happened.
The crazier part is that was like the 20th take too.
Like, do you know, do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, that's why I said like the voice, voice must be
like so short after that because, you know, and I don't
think that voice actors would do it the first time.
They'd probably have multiple takes and they use whatever the
best 1 is like so it's just so incredible like at that.
Level that like clay even created that he was talking
about at the end like between all the characters getting just
bodied one after the other like I I'm going to give it to team
hands be Rainer and tomorrow. But like I think the easiest way
for me to say it is my least favorite character was righto
because everybody else was so good and I'm not even including
the five stars in that because they're just a footnote They're
like their presence was a was was a non plus.
It shouldn't have. It was only there to give us
context within the world setting.
And obviously the government guys are also background
dressing. But like of the actual
characters that were the focus of this episode.
Yeah, basically all of the barring writer, really.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, like I said, like I think Rhydo still like
the the way he behaved in this episode would have been a very
natural conclusion to find or natural character personality do
to be that reflective mirror for tomorrow.
It just felt a bit too soon. But I do agree with Gaza's every
character was fantastic. But I have to go for a
back-to-back with Clay. I think.
I think this whole 2 parter wouldn't be as impactful as like
freaking. So to take on Kobe's burger
analogy, so dense and, you know, meaty and beautiful and juicy.
If we, if we had a fistful villain like everything, just go
out the window. We just kind.
Of like this, you know, it just, it just becomes like whatever,
like you kind of like you feel a little bit.
Because you want steaks? Yeah, you want to actually like,
yeah, we're talking about steaks, We're talking about
burgers. This is a very like food full
episode. Like but yeah, you want.
That you want that flame grilled like exactly you want that
smokiness. You know you want it to be in in
and out tasting everything and to be honest, Clay was just
again very well designed. Even the if we talk about the
voice actor, like the voice actor for Clay sold me on
arrogance, sold me on like being cocky, being.
And the animation, like the animation making him completely
unhinged. Like just, it's like so good.
He was just everything about him, it makes him a good
villain. We've got like a back story that
you can kind of think, oh, he's he's gone through stuff.
So that made him the person that he is.
So it's not just like, oh, this is Mr. Evilton.
He's his back story is he's evil, he's a bad dude, but you
actually get a reason for why Clay is a bad guy.
And I love the fact that they did more flashbacks in this
episode because then all it did was they plant you plant the
seed. You have the initial inception
of this is what this villain is and what motivates it in the
back story. You then have more flashbacks to
just reaffirm the the notion that power might is right.
Power is what dictates everything.
And we saw that again in the Yeah, exactly.
And it was just, you can't fault then when you look at the
villain, how they're behaving now, you're like, no, no, this
makes sense. We've been reaffirmed this
again, again. And he's own like when we talk
about like lived experiences, Clay's own lived experiences
just reaffirm that notion. You need to have power.
And just again, I feel like these two episodes wouldn't have
been as impactful if we had a very half assed villain.
Yeah. Well, that's that's how you make
good villains, right? It's not about and I I don't
like the idea of sympathetic villains.
I think that they've been overplayed in a lot of media,
you know, recently where it's like, oh, he's just a bad guy
because like, shut up. Yeah, I agree.
I agree. They did do that with Clay, but
you don't think that like, you don't feel bad for him.
You're like, he's had a bad time, but he's still, you know,
not a nice. Dude, there's no way.
There's no way that you turn around and justify his action.
Yeah, there's no like redemption.
He's just a bad guy. He's had some bad things that
happened, but he's still just a he shows.
The wrong dialogue options, yeah, that's it.
But if you make a good villain by making them like like Clay,
obviously, like Crocodile, like those other really, really good
characters by sitting there and you make them a logical endpoint
to a particular issue. And they think that they are
right. And it's not like, oh, I like
stabbing because stabbing is fun.
Hey, I'm evil. We like, that's not that's not a
villain, right? It's I have watched people with
power take everything away. And when all is said and done,
nothing else matters but the power that you have to exert
over others. And that is Clay at his core,
and that is his entire operandus, Mandy.
And it is very hard to argue against that point, which is
what makes him such a very powerful, very relentless
villain. In that regard.
It's just like, cool, you're just a hard bastard that just
thinks that smacking everybody around is how you win.
And to be fair, he's not entirely wrong, because the
entire system is set up to function in that way.
Yes. Yep, he's just someone who was
broken by the system. Yeah, and then became another
cog in the machine. It just a different part.
Yeah, he became that Shinjuan mentioned AO.
But in any case, rating out of five, I'm gonna give this
another five. I'm sorry I'm boring, it was
just good Geo what you're giving it.
Break I'm breaking the budget 4.75. 44.75 and.
I broke the budget too late. Sucks the suckers.
And girls. It's coming out of your page,
yeah. Guys get paid.
What are you giving it? Yeah, yeah, get all that Adsense
boys. Yeah, what do you think I got
out of bed with the stiffles to be?
True, you had to break that budget petrol.
Cost too much, you know. Petrol is like absurd.
It's fine. Maybe you gave it a 4.75 because
that's what the cost of like Petrol leader is gonna be and
week at this point, I mean, diesel's already like full like
it was. So baffling.
Yesterday after Regis, so like I was heading back with the
Tundra. Actually, I like the Tundra.
The goat. You know, the winner of the
Regis freaking legend. And we're talking.
About, yeah. Baby, he's the OG task.
But yeah, we'll just fill like a petrol and I'm just looking at
the petrol prices and I just see diesel's 3.2.
I'm like, yeah, in what universe is?
It's already got. It's already it's like 3.5 now.
Yeah. It's like I'm I'm so glad I just
get the the unleaded unleaded 91.
Like, I mean, it's still expensive, but I'm just like. 75
letter 91 now. Yeah, I think when I, when I
topped up two weeks ago, it was like $2.20 and I was like,
that's a little bit pricey and I'm glad I just filled up then
because anyway, so guys, what, what are you, what are you
giving this episode? I'm giving it a 4.7. 4.7 not 4.
.7 What break the budget? Break the budget, Break the
budget. Breaking the beat of the budget.
No, I I have never done one of these podcasts before and I'm
sticking to the rules that I impose on myself so that I
remain consistent throughout all the episodes.
Yeah. I know I'm just the I'm the
little devil on your shoulder. I'd be like do it.
Do it, do it. The other way you can tempt me
is if you want to roll up here and give me a HSP and then I'll
be. On my way.
Let's go on my way. Same same like honestly I do.
I do many things for for an HSP if I'm being real.
That a sausage roll. Oh Oh yeah, that too.
Or like a 711 like, you know, the Kransky ones that.
You know, you know what the the petrol station near where we
play locals on. Thursdays.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I went, I went in there
and then they had like Pepsi Max Vanilla.
I'm like, all right, no worries. And I got to the cashier and
he's like to me, yeah, I only, I only really stop this because
you're the one who buys. It Oh yeah, they're really nice
that petrol like at that servo they are so nice like when they
see me walk in sometimes they'll be like oh we have I don't have
sausage roll but I can heat it up for you I'm like.
But I might have. Like some drinking, I told you.
Drinking it. Artificial vanilla.
I found, I found the source. Found the source.
And Speaking of Tundra, Tundra is a chef by trade.
Oh, yeah, yeah. And we're talking about
ingredients. We're talking about the
artificial vanilla flavour, vanillin or vanilla, vanilla or
somewhere along those lines. And he was telling me, do you
know where I where it comes from or not?
He's like, it's, it's part of like part of the gland from a
beaver's ass, an excrement. I've got a vanilla Coke here.
Give me a minute. If it's vanilla, now now now.
I don't know if he's just rage rating me because he knows I
love the drink. What I have I had my phone out
to do postmod pat, but this is my this is a much better use of
my time. Yeah, but the vanillin, I don't
know if it's like vanillin, where does vanillin come from?
And apparently comes from like it's an enzyme or something.
It's from wood pulp. No extraction.
Apparently it's it starts. No, I'm looking it up.
It's from wood pulp. It's come from Beaver
experiments, I'm convinced. No, Gio, I just think you,
you've been a virgin for so long, you're now dreaming of
Beaver. I'm just seeing it right here.
Chemical combat using vanilla flowering and scents comes from
anal glands and fevers. Boom, vanilla flavoring.
Flowering or flavoring? Vanilla flavoring and scents
comes from anal glands and fevers.
Natural vanillin is extracted from the seed pods of vanilla
plantifola, a vining orchard native to Mexico but now grown
in tropical areas around the globe.
This is from Wikipedia. That is a natural production of
vanillin. That's a natural, but I think
it's like artificial like artificial vanilla flavouring
comes from this, the anal glands of season.
I. It's it's it chemically
synthesized from it's as a byproduct of salt, the sulfite
process for making wood poles. OK.
Vanilla ring flavoring. Wood based vanillin.
I'm not seeing Beaver's asshole written in this.
What do you? Mean I'm on Wikipedia for
vanillin. Maybe it's just vanilla
flavoring, I don't know. Artificial.
Well, I'm looking up vanillin. I'm not looking up anything.
I'm just listening to you 2 guys go.
It's butthole, it's wood. It's butthole.
It's wood. And I'm like they.
Go. OK.
Anyway, anyway, let's let's go on to Postmont, Pat, because
we'll leave that as much. As much but it used to be.
It used to be. OK, it used to be, but it's not
currently. So enjoy your vanilla Pepsi
without thinking of a beaver's asshole, thank you very much.
Anyway, so pondering Postmont. Coke.
I'm thinking of buttholes, yeah. Pondering Postmont pat and
predictions and no more Beaver bottoms.
No more no more. It's pondering postmod patent
predictions, not posteriors. There we are.
I made it work. So anyway, first up we have Erin
Damon who says their emotions were all over this place with
the last week's episode. Clay's crash out was
legitimately unnerving, and the Uno reverse they pulled on us to
have Keo and everyone else getting cold hearted right after
the insert song victory was wildly unexpected.
Also, they don't remember which one they call of us.
Called it some episodes ago, but Tom Rose's parents being framed,
I think we all kind of like guess that or like talking about
it. But after the flashback showing
his father was involved with Chairman Wong and the answer's
appearance, you might be on to something.
If Clay is this, is this strong? I wonder how much trouble the
other five star members are going to give Glowing Dawn, The
Rise doing a good job of making them hate Clay's is having a
scary rich boy tantrum. And yeah, I mean, I think we we
kind of talked about that. But yeah, Clay, they did a
really good job with Clay. Yep.
Next we have Hyate who says that it's been long since they
watched the podcast and beat break because they took a break
for their exams. A beat break if you will, and
their college classes. Well congratulations, I hope you
did well in your exams and best of luck with college.
And anyway, they go on to say beat break is peak with the
amount of character writing, a world building that's been put
on and never missed that they never misses.
They love the characters of Glowing Dawn and Team 7.
Also Nacho got what he deserved. Clay's just a beautiful villain
up there with Kurata. Absolutely agree.
I also love Kurata. One thing they have to nitpick
is Gigasmon being very hollow as the other Digimon in this season
are oozing with personality and individuality.
I wonder if that's because Nacho was just kind of like a a just a
you know, level 1 goon to Clay I guess.
And Gigasmon is kind of like, it's just kind of a rock dude in
the same way that is a rock dude, so.
I want to very spot like Standard and just it's very
yeah. I think Forgotamon will give
Gigas a run for its money for just Bland.
They said they can't wait to see what will go after this arc.
Also Azdamon and Tilunmon that they just absolutely love.
They hope things go well with the kids.
Maybe in the future we see them doing odd jobs by making up what
they did like their kids. So they still got a very long
way to go. And yeah, I'm, I hope we do see
them every so often, but I hope that it's not like in every
episode. Like, I don't think we need them
to be there because we need to flesh out the main characters,
the cast of Glowing Dawn. Like, I feel like we still need
to flesh them out. They need to have their own
growth. We've had Tom Rose, obviously,
in this week's episode, but we still need to finish off Makoto
and Rainers. I agree.
Yep. Yeah.
Like. I think, I think if we're like
taking off and this is a piggyback over what you both
mentioned last week in last episode regarding the parallel
between Kyo tomorrow and all the pairing really tomorrow Kyo and
then you've got Reyna Mikado as that like the pairing of growth
and whatnot. It definitely feels like we,
it's cool. We've had such a big focus on
Kyo and I was I think one of our consistent mentions is all the
all the eggs, all the the hints, all the sort of disposition or
exposition, sorry, that goes towards Kyo leading up to to
last episode. And then tomorrow, I guess it's
finally like someone that nailed the coffin and taking the next
step and worked out really well. But if we continue to focus on
Kyo and tomorrow we run into the issue of Rayna Makota being left
in the dust. Yeah, like in in reality,
Rayna's been hella left in the dust for a bit too long now.
Yeah. And I it would be troublesome or
worrisome if that continues to be the trend because.
Frankly, like we're seeing some, what we're seeing now with Rayna
is what we're seeing with Keogh, where you're seeing the these
little moments of like her getting a little, like you heard
a little tiny moments of her like being stepping up as a
leader, you know, jumping in with tomorrow.
I heard initially starting the fight sequence of to, to run in
charge. So I think we're on that
trajectory. We'll probably won't happen for
another few more episodes from now, but realistically, yeah,
yeah, hopefully we'll get that with Rayna and.
McCullough I'm really looking forward to what they do with
rayna. I hope it sticks to landing next
we have Vilfer who says next episode doesn't feel like a dark
digit volition episode. It was not tomorrow going
berserk so soon after teaching right the importance of not
going full skull Gray mod will fall backwards and I mean that
that's that did happen. But righto kind of like came up
and said hey, do you literally you literally are doing what I
did kind of thing like I'm glad that they did that.
That said they could see writer coming out of his cool Sokov guy
to I love how they're they're referencing the joke I made.
I love that to remind Tomer of that.
And that is exactly what happened.
DNA. Predictions.
Yeah, DNA digital listen soon. Maybe they could call it synchro
evolution keeping with the beat motive.
Like maybe not DNA digivolution, but maybe like more like
biomerge or matrix digivolution from tamers.
Yeah like it could go either way but they could also do like a a
megazord like fusion where they all like mute merge into one
like giant 7. Big Digicross.
Let's go. Yeah, like a giant digicross
since since we have girls watching crosswords at the
moment. Right can I just say real quick
I made it to like episode 3 and they digi cross with Deruloman
against his leg will. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they did.
That what happened? You get slapped into like a
weird ass genetic gangbang and he's like what the hell was
that? And I'm like bro, you just got
violated. What the hell?
Is this poor guy I love? Deruloman the monster, Rash the
looking guy. Yeah, Jason Deruloman.
Yeah, Jason Derülo. Jason Derülo.
One of my favorite vines of all time.
January, February, March. Jason Derülo.
Anyway, next we have IDD 48. Just peak break.
Man it's so refreshing to see the karate evil level for the
love of the game. Yep, absolutely agree.
And yeah, more more war crimes and external government throwing
down a local state. Never heard of something like
that. Woof Jesus.
Let's see if we get the Gecko 5. Thanks.
Beat break starter decks. You let that let clear that a
card inside though. Could we get the dark one, maybe
Ruin even before the normal mode?
Yeah. No, I don't want Ruin mode.
I don't. I'm having like flashbacks of
Shine Gray on Ruin mode from the TCG and I don't want anything
with the name Ruin mode. Yeah.
And that's, that's, that's gonna be so prevalent now.
Then we do have a one page reference.
We have Gerbaul who says pyramid source reminds them of pick up
from one piece, similar silhouette and like, Oh my gosh,
like. Respect.
Yeah, true. I feel like out of all the arcs
of One Piece, we've probably made reference to Dressrosa more
than anything else, or Shambondi because of Rayleigh.
And we had we had Shamboldi, we had Alabaster because of
crocodiles. Play references address Rosa.
I mean, like, I think you could even see the professor being a
Doflamingo to Clay. Yeah, a very interesting film
that. Yeah, who kind of like had like,
you know, a traumatic, like past, Yeah.
I mean, I've said Alabaster quite a lot myself.
Because of the sand. Yeah, but like you need that one
good villain. They've even got the same colour
motif of being like the tans and the Yeah.
Stuff, Yeah. No, I'm just all I'm thinking
about is Nika Robin from the live action.
I I still I still haven't seen season 2 yet.
I I need to just I heard, I heard me Hawk was in it for like
a second so. I'm oh me Hawk is whole now I
know spoilers. Sorry, I'll stop.
I mean, I can't, I, I know the I mean, I love me Hawk.
So I of course I've had to check, but I, I know the the
context of how it shows up from my understanding and just one
scene. But anyway, next we have Apple
Live, who says first time commenter here, long time
listener. Well, hello, welcome to the
show. Two things as a fellow
Victorian, I just want to say when Collingwood lose, we all
win. I don't get that reference.
I don't. I don't.
Collingwood just suck, who cares about?
Collingwood. My my Poppy was like a supporter
of Collingwood. So he's not anymore.
Not not anymore. Not because he moved on to a
different team. He died so he doesn't support
Collingwood anymore, so I guess they they.
Lost a real one. Same.
Same note. My dad doesn't support any three
teams. Probably feel that it's it's
yeah. Yeah, I, I, I Wolf.
Yeah, Anyway, Wolf. So secondly, they think that
this is their favorite series of Digimon.
They enjoy the characters a lot. The series and the animation has
been good for a Digimon series. And hopefully we get perfect
level soon. We do they think one of the main
protagonists will get one in the next three or three episodes?
What do you guys think? Yep, that he he does tomorrow.
Doobie doing. But I like the way they're going
about it. And this is, again, another
piggyback of the guys from last week.
This is very much an anime with Digimon, another Digimon anime.
And like when we get those Ultimates, all these perfects,
it's has to make like narrative sense rather than just being
like, oh, you need a power up like it's and that's what we've
got here. Because otherwise you would have
seen maybe radar like hinting. It wasn't any hints there.
Yeah, Mikado hinting, man, you get nothing there.
But no tomorrow made sense. And then Ryder, the parallel
made sense. And but yeah, that's awesome.
It's more ultimate. It's more perfect.
Oh yeah, next we have Lazy Crocodile.
It says the episode was so damn good they can't wait for the
next one. They was in the edge of the seat
during it play. The so far is the most top tier
villains of Digimon. Yes also the doctor tammer I
feel like Tom Rose grandpa but they could be wrong.
They're just going based on appearance his parents had on
the few flashbacks we saw them and I feel like the the age
doesn't really line up so I feel like it might be his
grandfather. They also continue on to say.
Also Congrats to Gammon for wearing for winning the time
stranger poll and Lugamon, Harris, Mon Polsmont and
Geckammon for getting top ten. Very impressive for all of them
considering the products that just came out and Geckammon
coming from a fledgings show. Because they think the poll
started a couple episodes before Alyssa Mon was a thing.
Though now they are imagining the dabs being like God Dang it
why did the one with the most personal evolutions one?
Yeah like I love when new Digimon get like given some
love. I'm really hoping, again, we
mentioned it before, but I hope that Terremon shows up in in
Beat Break at like or at least in an anime at some point or in
a video game. Like that was.
Like I, I love. Give me my knee up boot one.
That that'd be cool, even if
it's just like, even if it's just like a background like.
I just. Watch Yeah, valid that that
second Puss in Boots movie made me cry just because like I think
I think it was I think it was just like just after or just
before Langley passed and like the little dog in it reminded me
of Langley. So I like I have a soft spot
where give me like a scruffy little demon of like a terrier
looking dog and like I would just be like an emotional mess.
Like I just no, no. Wilson Bruce's Last Wish was his
third film. Oh.
OK, I saw the third film then. Yeah, there are three.
Julia and I went on a deep dive on like random ass film
franchises. We binge watched like 14 hell
raises. Don't do it.
It's trash. I I've seen like a few of those
and Oh my God, why are they all the same?
I. Don't.
I don't know. I think it is I.
Mean it depends if you take the the short film.
No Puss in Boots The Last Wish is the sequel to Puss in Boots
2011 and the 6th installment of the Shrek film series, so it is
the second of the Puss in Boots films.
There should be another 1 I think.
There's three called the Three Diablos.
The 3D of Borum on the 3D of. Borum on There's three.
But in any case, Gio, go watch those movies.
No, no. You know what?
No, you know. No, there there is a there is a
television series spin off the Adventures of Puss in Boots
which premiered in 2015. The Puss in Boots The Last Wish
was released in 2022. I'm not seeing like this, like
Revenge of Di Boram on one. Doesn't matter anyway.
It doesn't matter anyway. Where were we?
We're on the clock, we can't really spend time research.
Good point, budget. Budget, guys, Budget.
Back back to Beavers bombs. So next we have ignited quills
who says they feel Kyo is an experienced main character done
right. Over half his life was as a
cleaner and he received development before that where he
wanted power. Where Kugelman said his E pulse
used to be full of rage. And that would seem cliche.
But he doesn't solve the problems for Glowing dawn all
the time and doesn't win all the time.
And the series does a good job of showing how strong and
intimidating he is which they really admire.
Regardless, good episode. The preview for next episode has
them hoping tactics are gain as well.
Edit me accidentally referring to Nito as her was my bad.
I typed quickly and Naito can go by she her pronouns.
I'm so proud of that queen. Like.
Or Naito is dead, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, like, I mean, at the end there was like a throwaway line.
The tactics said was like, oh, I guess Naito will like take the
fall for it or something. But like, I'm just like, I think
Naito took the fall into a coffin.
Like I I feel like keep coffin. Naito's gone Vito like goodbye.
Goodbye bro, how do you percent? Naito is not returning back to
Ru Paul's All Stars, we can confirm.
That for sure. I miss you already Queen.
Next we have mine and a adventurer who says 1 prediction
that they have They think Kataman will potentially free
righto you are correct that is that is what.
Happened. Because Kataman was the only
Tactics Digimon not captured and it feels like such a Chekhov's
gun. Righto will help tomorrow calm
down as a means to pay tomorrow back for saving him
legitimately. That's what happens.
So well, well done. We have Noah Nami who says
totally. We did see Kios Digimon the same
day as the episode. I guess that's to do with
Kugemon I think. Oh, it was the card.
Reveal the leak the card. Leak.
Yeah, but it didn't show if the Digimon itself didn't show up in
the episode. No not not in the anime, but the
actual league was on the. Yeah, yes, like.
How we had today with. Monarch Yeah, I think, I think
we spoke about it like quite a bit about like, yeah, like it
was kind of like a, a thing we thought would happen, but then
it didn't happen. So we were like, what?
Yeah, no, I believe that was part of the commenter's joke.
It's like, Oh no, we did get it, it's just not in the show.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
OK, I know now. Now I get it.
Next we have slumbering Weldarts who said Kyo graduated from
anime single mum to tragic anime mum.
He was just missing the side ponytail of death.
They feel like the next episode could go either of two ways. 1
is that one of the five stars show up claps Prognamon and Tom
Rose rampage with Omelismon releasing Glowing Dawn's E
pulse. They could see it being either
Kaito to save his ex-boyfriend. I love, I love how we're just
calling them all boyfriends. Or Genjo, who steals Kyo's E
pulse just like Asika's, and they can both hang out in eggs
super hell together until inevitably Going Dawn rescues
them both. Wolf.
The other prediction is that we saw Ketamine riding out outside
Ryo's coffin. Ketamine could find a way to
break out Ryo from the coffin. And which, yeah, that does
happen. And then Ryo has a chance to
remind tomorrow to not make the mistake that he made with
Asdamon. And then they all team up in KO
clay. Which part of that does happen
like the writer does show up to? Yeah, they're so accurate.
But like the rest, it's. Still, it's still.
Won't be 1. I'm convinced you all the time
travelers, that's it, that that's the only way.
They're ready for this show to beat, break their expectations
once again. Throw something out of their
field they say. By the way, they've been
bitching this podcast for about a week now and absolutely adore
it. They don't have much digital
experience outside of cyber sloth beat breaking like 10
episodes of the original adventure.
Listening to everyone's takes, predictions, and even Digimon
tangents have been super fun. They're they're going to be
consuming so much more digital content from now on.
Thanks for the hard work guys and sorry for the long comment
like that that made me so happy. Like I I love when people are
actually enjoying like our weird like Digimon tangents that are
and like sometimes non Digimon tangents like the the the goatee
like and goatee like I and goatee like.
Also, I would like to point out that when I saw Geo on Thursday,
the first thing that Geo said pretty much was like so I was
like listening to our podcast. Like Geo is the number one lost
in Translation 1 fan. Like he he listens to the
podcast that he was on and he's just like, I just, you know, I
forget what what we talked about.
So I listen to it again. I'm like that is, that is so.
Cute. I don't know.
I like supporting my friends and you both my friends.
Yeah, and also supporting yourself, but like, yeah, I
mean, I, I feel like not to toot our own horns or anything, but I
feel like we do have like a good energy and like like we, we get
to like have these stupid, dumb tangents and I hope they're not
like too annoying. I hope people, I hope most
people to enjoy them. True.
Oh, not too bad. Watch me, Watch me get flamed in
the chat. Now with the whole Beaver thing,
I'm just waiting. Just waiting.
It's OK. I'll just, I'll just do like 6-7
again and then like. True.
Anyway, QB no Yoko which I believe is is a singer.
Get it, get it. It's like a baby, no dollar
sign. Like, I don't know, I thought
that sounded so much funnier until I actually said it.
And like that's that, that's. Yeah.
I don't know where you're going with that.
My brain, my brain tried to make a leap and it was like Hatsune
no Miku, like. No, it's the the one that's like
BB. No, no, no.
Yeah, BBNO$ yeah. BBNO$.
Yeah, yeah, there we are. Anyway, so they say everything
Clay lacks, he makes up by being reviled.
Yeah, I just Clay. I like to not like maybe
everything is a huge like a human, but as a character, I
feel like he's just as a bad guy.
Perfect. Then we have Deshawn, who says
that Clay is one of their favorite Digimon villains.
I love how we just all like I just all vibe and with like Clay
as a bad guy, like a big fan of. We're we're crew with a quality,
quality crew. We just know on that beat break.
We have Isman who says now to be dead or love it if you want a
one piece comparison. But is it just them or does
anyone get an Army vibes from Rayner?
Money's very important to both them.
And yeah, I absolutely, I absolutely see what I've never
thought about that, but I absolutely see what they mean.
I I don't really see it because Rayner's so ready to throw
hands. Yeah, she's a little bit more
like violence, not the right word, but she's a lot more like,
I guess, hands on. Trigger.
I'd say trigger happy. Yeah, yeah.
Like his Nami tends to have sort of like the Oh yeah, oh, yeah,
oh, yeah. And then goes, no, wait, please
don't hurt me because she's used to tricking people.
Yeah, right. She's not used to throwing
hands. I think there's probably it's
it's probably the combination between Nami's sister.
Nami's not. Oh, damn.
Nami's money loving. There it is.
Yeah. And like Usop's range,
capabilities and flexibility, but with like Zorro's temper.
Yeah, true. They then continue.
If Kyo doesn't get up next episode, they're thinking that
they might get a time skip after episode 24 of at least six
months. Six months, as much time to
count as a time skip. Of course, we will know by this
time next week. And yeah, it was it was he he
got, he got better. Then we have Whesum who says
even the non TCG players who are Digimon fans will get
information from Digimon channels like Khan and and that
is true. Like we do like even at this
channel themselves, like ourselves we do talk about like
new Digimon like that show up in the card game.
Like we talk about Pteramon from Liberator obviously.
So I guess that is true. And then lastly we have Noah who
says first, lol, let's go, let's go.
I kind of it's goatee, but I kind of love when people just
say first, like I'm like, it makes me happy that someone
wanted to comment first on it makes me I get happy easily.
Anyway, so that's it for to post 1 Pat.
Next week's episode is episode 25 Half Baked Hero.
Do we have much to say in terms of predictions?
Because so far I feel like this feels like it's like a a
breather episode. Like hopefully it'll still be
good Like it just but it just looks like filler.
And that's not me saying it looks like it's going to be bad.
That's just me saying it looks like a breather feeler episode,
almost like a beach episode. But knowing like Beat Break, it
could just decide to just throw us into the next arc and give us
plot. It could just have something
surprising happen. I think if anything, one of the
safer predictions would be to palate cleanser episode.
We've just come off a really hard, heavy arc that got really
dark really quickly. If anything, I'm thinking this
is going to be a little bit reminiscent of the Bomanani Mine
episode. Yeah.
You know how like, that was a bit of a palate cleanser.
It wasn't as an amazing episode, but it had elements where we had
like little sprinkles, and I think that's what we need to do.
Like we needed not so much stuff from Fresh again, but more like
cool now, glowing downs on the radar.
Now we're gonna see the pieces start moving before we get to
the next sort of our conclusion. We're back into that like set up
process and that's only gonna be natural.
A palate cleanser. So it's funny Starmon giving me
that Bob and Nani. There is a really funny part in
the next time on where like Piedmont is just like, you know,
someone's running at Petermont and Petermont just lifts his leg
back and someone just goes flying.
I'm just like that. That's funny.
I'm looking forward to seeing that in the in the show.
But yeah, absolutely. It feels very palate cleanser as
the next episode it's. A beach episode.
You're on a boat. Yeah, like like it's a beach
episode, it's your pool episode, it's swim day, like it's a your
filler episode. But you know, I've be break's
been so good. I'm like, it's, it might be, you
know, a great filler episode, just a bit of fun, but it could
also throw a curveball. I mean, look, post refugee
bombings and dispossessed royalty, I think you know what
We all deserve a fucking day at the beach, yeah.
True like. I I still I still think they're
gonna Easter egg a bit of it like and that's this is where
the perfect episode would be like if we're looking for
incidents that be break if done even again.
And that's why I've referenced the Bob and nine in one episode
like you have. You might think at first what
the what the freaks? This episode's just a bunch of
music stuff, but what you don't realize is it's like a setup
piece for the auction. Which then is comes in fruition
later on. We'll probably have something
similar on this vein. Like we'll probably we'll go for
a setup pace. The way the Rose was vibing I'm
getting it's one of those like semi assassiny, you know like
those like shadow like you work with a shadow kind of vibes.
Or it could also have like, meanwhile Rose and she's like,
you know, doing her own plotting.
Like maybe it's completely unrelated to the events of the
episode, but we get kind of like a what are they doing while
these characters are kind of just hanging out chilling?
Like a Whirlpool. She's it's sort of she got into
like the whole like plant thing with the greenhouse stuff
because of her Digimon or because she's used to burying
bodies and using them as fertilizer.
Oh my God, we're talking. About spy family The garden.
Yeah, wow. Like, you know what I mean?
Like my family, like I'm just saying, bro, like there's just
this show has so many weird dark turns.
I'm just, I'm not, I'm not going to be surprised if she's in
charge of the Somali pirates. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if
we have like something horrific coming from from Rose,
considering how she is another one of the more older of the
five star members we have. The young ones being Sakai and
Kaito who are just kind of like youthful and impulsive and don't
really have like a business or like any goal since Rose is like
closer to Clay's age. And we, I think we mentioned
this like last week's episode of the week before.
Like we have like much something much more sinister than just
like the 20 year olds. Just like I'm part of an evil
organization. I just want to fight, which we
have from Sakai and Kaito. I mean, maybe they do have
something more sinister. We have fight and fuck in water
and in fire. Yeah, as you do.
But like, do we have any other predictions or can I wrap up
this one that was meant to be a short one, but it's actually a
considerably long one? And unfortunately, I think a lot
of that comes down to me because I have unfortunately needed to
have a few phone calls during this recording, which is why you
may see the deaf and icon appear on my screen.
And also that the V tubers start being animated despite not
talking. Yes and also at one point moving
to the side of the screen. I was like, Oh yeah, goodbye.
Guys, I had to, I had to, I had to handle an e-mail.
So I was I was stuck over. I saw you move and I was just
like, OK, yeah, just vibing, but it.
Goes, unfortunately is a busy little bean, but it doesn't mean
that I'm not going to make time for everybody here to talk about
did you want big break and just screaming about it for hours.
Yeah, we, which we, which we, we did almost hours.
It's a, you know, an hour and 30 minutes almost, but yeah.
This is stuff. This is average the.
Yeah, so I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead and wrap this up
unless anyone else has any more quick thoughts.
I have no thoughts. I'm just a happy little guy.
I love the episode. I know we're getting that
palette cleanser like you guys said.
I know we're going to be getting a really nice little thing that
will probably have some kind of pay off because nothing is left
on the floor in this series. Yeah, everything has had a
payoff. Even if we do go to Monster of
the week again, it's going to lead into something and we still
haven't got the payoff I think yet for the whole Mac mom bike
bit. No, we did.
That was the estimate thing. Sorry about that.
Yeah, but like, so even there, right, like it did have a
payoff. So like, we'll see what the
Somali pirates bring. Yeah, maybe we'll see a hook one
or two, who knows? But yes, so thank you so much
for listening slash watching this.

I love watching guys bounce around the screen as I'm reading
that like so that that was so fun.
Like I, I enjoyed that, like seeing that at the corner of my
eye, but I guess also a. Quick shout out to Baltic
Halbert for also believing that Ken is submissive and breathable
at the genetic level. And if you don't get that, go
head over to my Twitter and check out my posts because I, I
was, I was reminded about the epilogue for or 02, which I feel
like is meant to have happened in a year because I feel like
that was 2027. So I hope, I'm hoping that toy
does like a like another short like they did with Digimon
Adventure beyond where it's like just like maybe like a 510
minute thing where it's just the the adventure chosen's children
going on an adventure where when they play the opening for 02 or
maybe like an insert song from 0 two or something.
Like I'm I'm hoping for something like that just to
celebrate because it'd be weird if we just, you know, 20.
The 2027 went and passed and that's the year that the the
epilogue takes place in. But yeah, so Ken and Miyako's
kids, they all look more like Miyako than they do with Ken.
So I was like, Ken's genetics team didn't even try.
But in any case, so that's. A different.
Guy, different guy, yeah, different guy.
