I don't like Nefertimon either. I was always sad because Angewoman is so cool and Nefertimon just isn't as good.

Lmao at Tailmon's reaction to the baby digimon.

Ah, there's Ken. Didn't remember him being in the human world too (not like I remember much in the first place), but it makes sense now why Kaiser doesn't fight during the day.

He kicked a puppy. OMFG. I don't think people watching that program would think he was so cool if they saw that. Or at least I hope not.

I'll bet he's one of those 'suffering genius' types. 'Nobody understands how hard it is to be this smart! No one can challenge me, they may as well bow before me. Blah blah blah.'

...How did Kaiser whistle with the back of his thumb?? If I could do that I would, save myself some slobber.

Making the digimon fight each other, so sad. e_e With that sick smirk on his face...

I wasn't expecting to dislike Kaiser this much because I mostly remember what he's like later, I think.

Always wonder why Patamon and Tailmon's evolutions look so much like a matching set when their baser forms don't look anything alike. And these armor forms look silly, I prefer their old ones.

Yet another episode around digi-eggs. This is playing out like the first season except instead of normal digivolution it's armor digivolution. And to be honest I don't like Nefertimon that much either.

But I do like Pegasusmon. He actually seems like something Patamon would normally digivolve into instead of an angel. I do like how they show the older evolution sprites during the armor digivolution. it makes it seem like the spirit of the old digimon are helping them out.

More background on or main antagonist and Hikari and Takeru have gained their digimentals. They still haven't explained their DS like devices. I understand that they can apparently communicate with them and they use them to 'save' their digimentals but where the hell did these things come from?

I like the new armor evolution, but they shouldn't have changed the digimons from the first season like that.

"This is the best thing I have eaten in my entire life, two days of it" - hahah

"I hope my first form does not act like this" - Gatomon was spot on.

Ken is not only a super genious, he is also a super athlete. Totally unbelievable. Well, they definitely need someone special, because normal kind would not be able to conquer DigiWorld.

He is also a cruel sadist. The Puppy kicking scene was literaty a TVtrope. Lol.

Yeah, I am not fond of this form. But I understand their decision. Firstly, Angewomon will destroy Digi Kaiser way too easy, she was a Perfect level Digmion.
Secondly Gatomon was based on Egyptian cat, so this form is rather fitting.

Well, i think he was able to conquer the digiworld so easily because of learning how to manipulate thiings there (black gears) and because he is superior to other digimon by being a chosen child. He almost ran unopposed there.

If gennai , piximon or others were there to defend the digiworld,i doubt he could do that. Or maybe they were and were defeated, i don't know. But till this chapter, he conquered a savage land with unorganized and weak digimons in it.

Asking the question no one wants to answer.



Anyway. I had the same thoughts as dolphin456; if Hikari and Takeru can do it... why not everyone else? If this was a completely new cast, then fine, at least it'd be consistent. But the fact not only do they have them able to armor evolve, the show has Iori question it just to ignore it. I can't stand when anime does this in a non-humorous way, because I wanted to know too!

Of course watchers can say "well it's to have the new trio have mentors with more wisdom about the new world" but that's horse poo. There's no in-world basis, logical or otherwise, that allows Hikari/Takeru to do it, but not the others. Nor did the original 7 have previous human mentors to succeed. It's already bad enough they can enter and exit when they want, it's even worse they get special treatment.

Three episodes in and we can already see how the concept and idea of a Chosen Child starts crumbling. And I never noticed that they use Ken to make it happen...

@Sakarii I know it's weird to reply to a post from 2019 my fellow ancient MAL member, i noticed your thinking about this show in a really 'what is logical' kind of way in regards to the world-building. Most of your posts had a valid point and ones that would hammer my enjoyment as well in the past as with serious shows i'm a bit of the same, but i guess that's not the best mindset for shows like this (at least for me). Now that i watch this again for nostalgic reasons (but subbed because it's better that way) i put my expectations regarding logic low because of the target audience and it made it quite enjoyable. It felt better discarding some lore questions (they really do try to have it make sense when they can) and look for explanations from the producing side. Only the two youngest children can armor digivolve? 'the producers wanted a second season with those two but with children of their own agegroup and this is what they came up with'. 'She can't be champion power level because it's the first arc, so they found the solution to have half a power randomly in her tailring'. Most things just come down to it needing to be to be that way for certain reasons and trying to implement it in a way the target audience hopefully doesn't analyze too long about. JRPG's do this even more for obvious gameplay reasons. I fully admit i didn't when i was really young, and it was one of my favorite shows. In the end this show's main power is in the cool new transformations and battles, and that is what this show is really good at (the designs). The new Digimon trading card game art shows it.
