| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty cool and unique episode for Yamato and his partner to enter a Digimon style race. Even though Gabumon got tired, I like how Yamato always stood by his side. True friendship right there. |

| Well, that was certainly a lame way to introduce a Digimon like MetalGarurumon. Literally one of the most relevant evolutions from the original series appeared just because Gabumon wanted to save someone he met 5 minutes before in a strange urge to become Lightning McQueen or something. I can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea. Also, didn't WereGarurumon had those wings attached that let him go super fast? Why didn't he used those in the race? Ugh, whatever. Other than that there's the lately frequent Tailmon over-exposition of the plot whenever the story needs the cast to know something they wouldn't otherwise, Joe as an announcer and Takeru dressed like a... cheerleader? Was this fan service? In any case, a bad episode overall. Hopefully next time with Magnaangemon things won't go this way. |

| dang that sakuga transformation scene of Metal Garurumon is cool as fuck next week its Angemons time to evolve so looks like every week from now on we will see more evolution |
| Well what just happened lol. That's it? This mega evolution felt so random. Thou Metalgarurumon transformation scene was really cool. |
 |
| Bike digimon xD the racing part was cool and they got rid of the parasite, it ended in a good way. |
 |
| Glad everything worked out for Machmon at the end. Metalgurumon evolution was sick! Been a while since we’ve seen him |
 |
| lol this is so much different from the original, its alot more "fun" and the adult digimon have way more personality, i can give it that for sure also, are we ALREADY getting MagnaAngemon????? |
 |
| A Digimon death race Grand Prix huh. Gabumon on his own volition to race against Machmon in Garurumon fashion together with Yamato, and old habits die hard. Acting like a true match with match announcers (of Joe and Gomamon) and cheerleaders and stuff (and is that Takeru in cross-dressing fashion? EWWWW). Parasimon lurking within Machmon, and the Mega Evolution of WereGarurumon to MetalGarurumon is only of significance for like 5 minutes or so, albeit with a cool transformation scene worthy of a Mega Evolution. Probably the first or few of some episodes where this inherently feels very different from the OG, and since this is a reboot, it doesn't need to match the OG, and I'm completely fine with it. |
 |
| Metalgarurumon finally appeared and came out of nowhere, what a lame way to introduce him. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| What a dumb and pointless episode and reason to evolve, at least the evolution sequence was pretty badass. Lately I've been checking what would be happening on the same episode number in the original and man, I have no words about this reboot. |

| My god they choose to give us "Metal Garurumon" on an Random Racing Episode... WTF There is no weight behind the Transformation, it's so Meaningless... Whoever wrote this are ruined the aesthetic of Digimon. |

| Seriously, we're going to introduce the 2nd most important Mega of the original in a random one off gimick episode with the least at stake in recent memory? It would have still made more sense in ep 42, at least in that fight TK was involved too. God this is dumb. |

I'm already tired of saying to stop using those fake American names... regulusgal said: I seriously wonder where the Digital Grand Prix idea came from. There was a special of the original anime back in 2000s. Maybe from there, since they're taking a lot of ideas from all the other Digimon series as well. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL while i do agree, it doesn't give me the nostalgic feel to call them their actual names |
|
| What a weird way to show a mega evolution, even the already weird way in the original seems more fitting since they were fighting a bad guy. |
| While I do agree anyone can call the name they're familiar to, it's always iffy for me to see evolution level names in Japanese. Afaik, it's something like this: In Japanese: Child --> Adult --> Perfect --> Ultimate In English: Rookie --> Champion --> Ultimate --> Mega As you can see, the term 'Ultimate' is used in both languages but they refer to different levels so when someone said "XXXmon is an Ultimate" to some Digimon I don't know, it confuses the hell out of me which level it is. I kinda want a uniformity in this case tbh. That's why I always use English terms for evolution names since they're the terms that used more in every localized Digimon games. While Japanese terms might be more accurate (cuz ultimate means something final), English terms are more stylized to make the franchise unique. Just my two cents. As for the rest like kids' names, Digimon names and signature attacks, Japanese terms all the way. Because they sound obviously more natural. I can't raise my eyebrows enough when I saw "Izzy" in subtitles even tho the characters clearly said "Koushiro". Gatomon who? The cat I know is called Tailmon. Fuck Pepper Breath, all my homies use Baby Flame. . . . Huh? Stfu and talk about the episode? Okay, it sucks. It might be beating the dead horse but evolution to MetalGarurumon holds zero significance and buildup. Gabumon was head over heels for some random bike Digimon he just met and cuz of that "friendship" that came out of nowhere, he unlocked Mega level just like that, risk-free and no stakes. Okay, nothing new here. And I'm tired to mention the super inconsistency of Digimon sizes. I expected Gundam-size MetalGarurumon cuz we already saw Megazord WarGreymon. But c'mon, WereGarurumon who we saw some episodes ago, exactly in the same show, is now way bigger in this episode that Yamato was just a tiny spot on his shoulder. Either Yamato got shrunk or they can change sizes according to data-whatever convenient excuses or animators are just braindead. I don't care anymore. |

| I am finally caught up. Duh, I don't know what to feel about this reboot, the last 5 or so eps (and a few before that) felt like they were born from a drug fuelled hardcore orgy. Now then, I don't remember much from the OG I admit. Can someone jog my memory? Did that also lack any sort of logical power level system? Because that sure seems out of wack, not to mention digimon seem to lack stamina as well (or at least they recover extremely fast after battles...). I don't remember digimon being this varied either.. Also what's up with the evolutions that are all over the place as well? I don't remember such things like Bltizgreymon or whatever that was for example. Where is my boi Skullgreymon?? |
MomoSinX said: Where is my boi Skullgreymon?? I'm pretty sure SkullGreymon's role has been totally replaced by Mugendramon/Mechinedramon in the earlier episode against Devilmon lol. |

Too bad, I remember it giving me nightmares as a kid and I still think the design looks amazing as an adult. Mugendramon/Mechinedramon didn't really made me feel anything. :/ |
| The episode felt fun and the evolution sequence was cool. That's all that matters. |
| Leaves from the vine~ |
| The evolution was great but the episode we got it was so.....pointless? When you go mega there should have been bigger stakes for the group than just a simple race. |
 |
MomoSinX said: The Champion/Ultimate/Mega system is a general ruler for Digimon's power level altho there were obviously some exceptions even in the OG. Such as a strong Champion being able to win against a weak Ultimate (Togemon vs Monzaemon for example), Angel-type Digimons are OP etc. But there were very rare cases of a lower level winning, or fighting toe-to-toe against a higher level unlike in this reboot. Now the general rule is thrown out of window and Champion/Ultimate/Mega is just a name.Now then, I don't remember much from the OG I admit. Can someone jog my memory? Did that also lack any sort of logical power level system? |
|
| I like the episode and all but comparing Agumon's mega evolution scene to this seems pretty underwhelming. |
 |
| Once again immediately recognized that voice of Hiyama Nobuyuki for a fourth time now within the Digimon Franchise, voicing Machmon in this episode. 02 was Blackwargreymon Frontier was Seraphimon Xros Wars was SlashAngemon regulusgal said: Artego32rus said: It's HolyAngemon. HolyAngemon. I'm already tired of saying to stop using those fake American names... There was a special of the original anime back in 2000s. Maybe from there, since they're taking a lot of ideas from all the other Digimon series as well. Thanks, just looked it up. That one looks cute and I'll watch that for sure. That and probably some slight inspiration from Digimon Racing on GBA. |
| I'm finally catching up (not sure why I'm doing this to myself tbh). This was such a weird episode and honestly such a waste. Metalgarurumon was just randomly thrown in there and they really tried to force some sort of friendship between Yamato, Gabumon and the Machmon even though they just met :x Are the crests even an actual thing in this reboot? Cause it seems like the producers are trying to connect the evolutions to the according crests (even tho they are failing horribly imo). Well, not a good episode at all. Parasimon is nightmare fuel tho. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| I didn't expect to see a death race in Digimon. Pretty cool episode. It was good to see MetalGarurumon again. |
 |
| It really felt like Metalgarurumon was just trivialized. Taichi had to basically die for Wargreymon. There is no comparison. This felt like a cop-out to get that upgrade. At this point, it was feeling like filler for a few episodes prior. If not for the upgrade, it would feel like total filler. |
| metalgarurumon ep, honestly it looked pretty bad in spots, but was at least an enjoyable ep overall. from the preview I'm guessing MagnaAngemon is next? |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
