----------------------------------------
Regardless on what Kiriha is like, I can't believe Shoutmon charge towards his opponent knowing the difference in terms of their size and strength =.=" As for the battle, it would be great to have more action in it cause so far the battles aren't all that exciting.

It seems that there was a problem with the better quality raw file source for this episode, which leads to a problem with the subbing groups (the only raw that is out from this episode is not in its best quality. But it's better than nothing so far) :(

Hoping that this problem will cease from next week on (or else, it's going to be a lousy problem) ;)

I kind of don't like this season already... I can't really put my finger on it, after all it does have:
1. Goggles
2. A group of kids
3. A powerful(?) villain whose voice is all we know
4. Red vs. Blue
(5. A drill) !!!
(6. GATTAI) !!!
But I don't know, it feels like it's missing something that's really character to Digimon that makes the series enjoyable. Perhaps it's an appropriate level of seriousness? Everything thus far has been rather melancholic in a comedic manner (I'm well aware of the target audience LOL, but even so). It really doesn't help that Shoutmon is terribly annoying. Hopefully things will start to pick up once the team is completed.

I think we have to wait for more serious stuff.
Anyways, Lilithmon is ... Lilithmon ..
I can't say more.

(We lack epicness but with only 3 episodes, that will be difficult. And yes Shoutmon shout too much .:s)

Blastmon is voiced by Norio Wakamoto. That's really all I need.

I agree. There is something that's missing in this series but I too can't put my finger on it. Also this episode left me even more confused to what is going on in the series....

I think we need a little more background iinfo from our fellow characters/humans. All we have here now is the silly children.

what*s missing? perhaps digitation/evolution..w/e? those fusions suck.

The good thing is...digimon is now a mecha anime.

Still, I don't really like it so far. The whole thing that Taiki has a lot of Digimon and he is using the Xros Loader to combine them it's just awful. I miss the old days where the kids had only one digimon and they had more interesting backgrounds.

For some reason, Xros Wars atmosphere feels like the one in Frontier.
But anyways, I'll continue to watch it, hoping it will get better. Amano Nene looks cool.

Yeah, this season is missing something, not sure what...
But I know whats been bugging me for all these three episodes and will bug me even further.
Taiki seems to be the only one in this group of three who has a device-sort of thing. Kind of like the digivice in the earlier seasons.
In the past we had a great team of kids and everyone fought for peace and love and all that shit, but right now we have one silly Taiki and one annoying brat of a digimon (talking about shoutmon here) that will save the world. Yeah.
The other two character? Cant even remember their names. They just seem kind of out of the place and useless.
I always liked that every kid got his own digimon and they were ~best friends~ and all that and fought as a big group against the villian.
But now? "Hey Taiki, do that Xros thing, i'm an useless character hanging on a giant bamboo!"
...
Well, I will stick with it for now, but ...
Oh, and that villian is not evil-looking enough, I think. Just some blonde spoiled kid.
Season two, the Digimon Kaiser, now THAT was a villian! He was evil! Powerful! ...
But this?

I think I should stop complaining XD

By ep3 I'm getting tired of this... there is hardly any surprises... we keep seeing MadLeomon getting bashed up by a team of small digimon who lost to the blue team disgracefully. It's so unbelievable it's almost funny.

It's too repetitive ==.

It's too bad it wasn't more like that one, even in Digimon Series, at the very least tear off part of their body un-digitalizing it or w/e, but no, we get some V shape mark and kaboom.

Well, this is going pretty much how I expected. Funny, colorful, simple and... fun to watch. There could eventually be epic moments, but that's fine for me. I mean, it's not like the previous seasons were all action, badassery and serious stuff (let's not forget the intended audience of Digimon).

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

maybe we are too old for this now? either way im enjoying this season more than I ever did Frontier, even though I really hope the other kids get something...I mean Taiki being the only one being able to use digimons is pretty annoying.

Also I keep seeing Agumon, Guilmon, and Veemon here...will they show up?

But if they do that, ShoutmonX3 won't be able to use double boomerangs.

See what I just did there? See how awesome that could be? :P

Hmm...So far it's okay. Digimon always have a slow start with lots of boring episodes.
It will probably improve later like all the other seasons. Maybe around ep. 13~~20 or something.

Digimon Adventure was just filler for the first 12 episodes, so I can't complain about this at all.

Besides, we all know that Taiki, Nene, and Kiriha will join together to make up a trio of kids with Xros Loaders anyway. And Akari and Zenji might even get Xros Loaders in the future as well, sort of like the kids in Tamers did.

Plus we all know there will be a "Black Power Ranger" in the future. Every season had one.

Digivolution would be nice... It's gonna be hard to get used to this. Also, I hope Akari and Zenjirou don't end up being useless. That will really annoy me.It's strange that we only have Taiki's Digimon in the spotlight all the time, too.

WTF FAIL!
They are acting like they never transformed to x3/x4 before but they did in episode 1! outside the dream, too! ... they are like "who are you?" with Dorulumon and they were like "wow.. this power is so awesome.." even tho they transformed to X4 in episode 1..
seriously this plothole is so stupid.

Well not exactly.

They said "who are you" to Dorulumon because remember Shoutmon and Ballistamon were not there when Dorulumon first showed up. They came after he left. And the "this power is so awesome" was probably not in a "this is the first time I'm using it" way but more of a "now I can really use it" way.

It's only the third episode, and since it's Digimon we would expect to watch around 50 episodes, so it's slow at the beginning. Remember in the first series, we have to wait almost ten episodes to know every important character/digimon and the background. That's why I'll be careful and wait to judge this for now, saying only that I'm liking it, expecting it to be better.

A lot of things are explained more in this episode. How the Digital World are structured and the Crown Code can reshape it.

With this episode concluded, MadLeomon is finally done with and peace is restored on Green Zone.... for now.

The battle scene is the best yet. I'm starting to like combining... sure I'll never get used to Digimon not evolving now but it's no use fretting over it since Xros Loader is this season's base.

Kiriha seems like your typical strong dark rival to me - something like Ichijou Ken. He treat his Digimon like trash and seems to have a powerful Greymon. Don't see much in him except some threats here and there.

Nene seems to be the informant and I like how she stalks Taiki and company and give them info. I thought she's Kiriha's ally, but it doesn't look that way.

Oh by the way, I love Akari.

Can't wait to see more Kiriha cause I liked his main digimon.

No Giga drill breaker? :(

I wonder if those two get their own digimons soon or are they going to uselessly hang around for long time. If they get their digimons I hope they do not develop to Frontier-style where they just give power to Taiki and then just stand around while he is fighting.

It looked more like a mecha against monsters than a digimon episode, but it was cool, MadLeomon was finally defeated, I was getting bored of him.
Kiriha seems to be the tsundere type who will later on become best friends with Taiki.
