Hii, regarding the last ask I sent, that's completely ok! :) are you willing to do Zoro for the same scenario?

a/n: absolutely, i'd love to write more trans zoro!! >:D

T4T (Zoro)

transmasc zoro and reader word count: 0.8k

Zoro's always been sure he was a man, even when he was an insufferable little pipsqueak with dreams too big for his tiny noodle arms to carry. He insisted on his masculinity when he arrived at Koushiro's dojo, a scrappy little thing with a bound chest, no home nor parents to speak of.

He held it with pride as he fought and lost every battle to Kuina and Zoro carried the shame of it at her funeral, unable to do anything to stop her death.

Zoro's relationship with his gender has been fraught with heartache and peril, the way he believes a man should live. Though as he grows up and meets other people, witnesses softer but equally as powerful displays of masculinity, he starts to change.

By the time he joins the Strawhats and presumably meets you, he still carries the weight of unshed burdens - Zoro sees it as his duty as first mate to protect his nakama, to make sure nothing stands in the way of Luffy's dreams. He's unsure of how to interact with you at first, only knowing the gender binary - it's stilted and awkward, and he definitely slips up a few times but you take it in stride and he's grateful for that.

The way you bounce off each other is why you work so well as a couple, Zoro knows you'll check him whenever he messes up and vice versa. You're patient with one another, Zoro's proud to call you his partner (even if he messed up along the way).

Despite the trust that you have in each other, it's the progress that Zoro's made that's part of why you're hesitant to tell him about the conclusions that you've come to about yourself.

He's worked so hard to understand you up until this point, wouldn't coming out again throw that all away?

You worry your lip and confide in Robin one night as she catches you pacing the crow's nest during watch, though she has to gently prod you for an answer, you spill your concerns pretty quickly with just a little more pressure.

You're scared - happy where things are with Zoro, you're his perfect half, his partner, and more than anything you don't want any of that to change just because of one small thing you could probably do without anyway. Robin comforts you the best she can, she knows it's a tough situation and does her best to assuage your worries.

In the morning, Sanji's the first to see the two of you come down, tear stains down your cheeks and a weary look in your eyes. He doesn't question it, just puts on his best smile and pours all his love into making your favorite for breakfast like he always does.

After the chaos that is the Strawhat's first meal of the day, you tell Robin quietly a little later that you plan to talk to Zoro about it tonight, she squeezes your hand in reassurance as the Sunny drops anchor at Sabaody Archipelago.

You don't see Zoro for another two years.

You spend more time apart than you've been together but your heart aches for his company, to see him just one more time. You have faith in your captain but more than anything you yearn to tell Zoro the truth, it's eating you up like nothing else.

Wherever you end up, no matter how you try to quiet your mind with training or other activities, your thoughts always drift back to what his reaction would be. Would he leave you? Would he be angry at being "lied" to?

...Would he be happy to have a "normal" boyfriend now, relieved that you aren't something in-between?

You get your answer when you find Zoro napping in a giant clam on Sabaody when the Strawhats were scheduled to meet again. Belongings and bags still strapped to you like they'd be blown away by the unforgiving sea breeze, you launch yourself at Zoro, winding your poor one-eyed boyfriend. Of course, you fuss over that too.

He's the first to arrive and you're not long after, so for the first couple of days you just spend time together, catching up on long-overdue affection even though neither of you were that huge on PDA before, now you're Sabaody's No. 1 lovey dovey couple.

It's in the privacy of a bubble hotel where you share a meal with Zoro that your truth comes to light, avoiding eye contact with him in lieu of staring into the supposed soul of your soggy potato pancakes instead. His response is a simple, "ok."

Okay???

When you look up to gawk at him, searching his face for answers, all Zoro does is cock his head to one side and ask if you're alright. When you ask if he's really okay with this, he asks why wouldn't he be in return and wipes his mouth off on his sleeve so he can kiss your cheek.

You want to scream, you might just cry, you want to shake him for being such a good boyfriend and making you worry for nothing. Two years without you and this man accepts what you've felt is a world-ending change with what amounted to a verbal thumbs up.

You settle for taking a nap together out on the grass instead.

Steel in Her Veins, Chapter: Seventeen

Read On: AO3 | Table of Contents | Next Chapter

Chapter Seventeen: Onigiri

As your hand connects with his, you reluctantly trail behind Gramps, nursing a humongous grudge against him for ousting you from the workshop. 

"Social interaction’s important at your age!" he insists, his stubborn furrow signalling the inevitable shift in the course of your life.

Armed with his illegally immigrated Wano connections scrawled within his logbook, Gramps engages in a series of letters with a familiar Shimotsuki contact, meticulously planning a rendezvous through extensive log pose calculations.

"Why can't we just head to their dojo?" you grumble, eyeing the island that sits perfectly equidistant from your home and the Dojo-guy’s village. At least then there would be something to actually do, and people to see. The prospect of aimlessly wandering around on a boring old island makes you even more reluctant to the thought of ‘socialisation.’

"The less people see us, the easier it is to stay safe," Gramps replies.

His words bring to mind a recent incident, just a month ago, when you both urgently had to evacuate yet again, from another workshop, on yet another island. It was the result of an attack orchestrated by those shittily-dressed CP members who always manage to track you down, no matter how many times and how far you flee.

Hidden upstairs, you could only hear the rattles and thuds following Gramps as you scrambled to pick up your emergency bags, pre-emptively prepared for such occasions before escaping to the meeting point.

Gramps would never, ever, let you fight alongside him. He had this entrenched fear of them finding out about your existence and you didn’t know why. You didn’t get what was so detrimental about them seeing a girl living along with her gramps, working regularly on her craft. But you could tell, if there was only one rule that you had to follow, it was this one. 

The way Gramps demanded this from you from the very start of your immigration from Wano, with such an intense and severe resolution set across his face, made all the objections you wanted to spout out immediately die on your tongue.

The more you grew, the more dangerous it was simply to exist outside of Wano. And the rich bit was, you still didn’t know why. Gramps wouldn’t say – you didn’t know whether he actually knew the reason why, or if he was as unsure as you were, but it was always brushed off whenever you questioned him about it.

“Whatever,” you mutter lowly and roll your eyes, walking even slower behind Suki just to irritate him. 

“I’ll change the locks on the studio again if you keep moping,” he cheekily says, giving you a little side-eye. And in an instant, you kick your feet up to match his pace, not wanting to have to start lockpicking through the doors again just to do your work.

“Look, they’re here,” Gramps whispers to you before turning his attention to the two figures.

From a distance, you eye a young blue-haired girl moping behind the man who seems to be her father, annoyedly swinging a sword in her hand. The sword claws at the grass in front of her feet, becoming more of a pick-axe than a fearsome blade. Your eyes light up as you pay closer attention to the type of sword she has in her fingers, a slight interest warming you from the inside.

“Sukiyaki!” The man says in greeting, tugging on his daughter’s reluctant hand as he walks toward the two of you. 

Gramps grins wildly, embracing him warmly. “It’s been a while. Your old man leaving Wano’s done you some good, eh?”

The man laughs kindly, patting his back. “I can say the same thing about you, ex-Shogun.”

“You can thank this little rascal for that,” Gramps says, staring down at you pointedly. “This is Raya, my granddaughter.”

The man smiles at you, making you instantly want to smile back just by looking at the warmth that emanates from his eyes. “Hello, Raya. I’m Koushiro - this is my daughter, Kuina.”

Your eyes flicker back to the blue-haired girl who now has an eyebrow raised at you, her eyes twinging with slight interest. 

“I like your sword,” you shyly mutter, eyes glued to the weapon in her possession.  

The girl looks taken aback, unsure of what to say. She looks up to her father, uncertain of what to do – and as he gives her a little reassuring nod, a subtle smile creeps onto her face. Finally, there’s another girl who's just like her, who’s really into swords. 

“I like her too,” she finally says, fumbling the hilt across her palm. She steps towards you, extending her Wado Ichimonji out as a friendship offering. “Wanna hold her?”

With a sudden shock to your body, your eyelids groggily slink upwards. Hot breath blows on your face as you try to make sense of your surroundings, realising that the floor beneath you is moving at an incredibly dangerous pace. 

“What...?” You mumble heavily, forcefully blinking a few times to unblur your vision. You feel restrained, feeling fingers that aren’t your own that grip at your skin. A huff of paced breath hits your face again, the boulder set against your cheek expanding with each aggressive step. 

“Stay still,” Zoro exhales, his arms holding your legs and arms even tighter against his chest. 

Your eyes immediately snap wide open, gaping up at the green-haired samurai who’s running like his life is on the line.

“Let me go,” you slur, dizzily slapping your hand against his chest. “I can run by myself.”

“Like fuck I will. Not gonna make that mistake again,” Roronoa mutters through gritted teeth, his eyes glued on the path before him.

His footsteps reverberate through the landscape, each step a jolt that echoes through your restrained form. You squirm in his grasp, desperately trying to break free, but his grip remains unyielding.

“Seriously, Roronoa! Put me down!” you protest, your voice slurred from the side-effect of Chopper’s sedative. The world blurs around you as he sprints, carelessly snapping branches and rocks from beneath his heavy boots.

“Just shut up and stay still,” he snaps, his focus unwavering. The rhythm of his strides runs like a wild drum beat, chaotic and messy, and you can't help but feel a sense of intense dread within you.

As you keep protesting, your eyes catch glimpses of the passing scenery—a chaotic blur of mountains, rocks, and uneven terrain. Zoro seems to navigate effortlessly, his instincts finely tuned to the path ahead.

A surge of irritation courses through you as you look down and away from Roronoa’s clenched jawline, your fingers gripping over his tightening arms as you try to make sense of your surroundings. 

“Where are we even going?” you demand, hoping for an explanation.

Zoro glances down, his singular grey eye piercing through you.

“To safety. Hold on,” he replies.

The erratic journey continues until Zoro abruptly comes to a halt. You're released from his firm grasp, stumbling slightly as you find your footing. The world finally stops spinning, and you take a moment to regain your bearings.

“We’re here,” Zoro states, a hint of urgency still lingering in his voice. Your surroundings slowly come into focus —a cave within a mountain, the canopy casting shadows over the uneven ground.

“What’s going on? Why are we in the middle of nowhere?” you ask, frustration lacing your words. Zoro doesn’t immediately respond, his attention drawn to the surroundings as if assessing potential threats.

He lets out a sigh, then faces you, a hand carefully resting on the hilt of his Kitetsu. "We brought you to the shaman. The moment he laid eyes on you, he started screaming. Kept referring to you as Oni, then ordered his lackeys to spill your blood until it runs dry."

You stare at him silently. Then, you huff out a singular laugh. “What?”

“Yup,” he says, shifting himself to the rocky floor. “He thinks you’re a demon. Said he felt something in your blood.”

“Great, so I’m a demon now,” you say, staring down at your awfully blackened arm. The growth seems to have halted while you were unconscious, prompting a small sigh of relief. Well, at least there’s that.

Zoro looks away with a smirk, his arm crossed. “Now? You always were one.”

You scoff, an eyebrow raised. “You got some jokes, samurai.”

You stumble a little from the disorientation, gasping in the process. Zoro immediately shifts from his position, his eye widening, arms held out in preparation, but you manage to shift your arms onto the wall behind you, panting in surprise.

 “I got it.” You strain out. Zoro lowers his arms and pointedly stares at you in reply.

“Maybe you should sit down. You’re confused.”

So, you sit yourself down on the jagged terrain, earning a surprised stare from Zoro.

“What?” 

“You actually listened.”

“Yeah, well…” You look down at your arm again, grimacing. “Chopper’s sedative is gonna wear off soon, and my arm’s definitely gonna feel it.”

Zoro's gaze very slightly softens as he takes in the exhaustion etched across your face. "We'll find a way to fix this. For now, rest."

“Rest in the terrified Shaman’s cave. Great plan,” you mutter, though you do lean back against the cold, rocky surface.

As the minutes pass, you decide to rest your eyes whilst keeping your ears open. The images of your previous dream swirl in your thoughts, blending with the rhythmic dripping sounds of the cave, and you can't help but purse your lips at the thought of Kuina. What would she have been like, if she was still alive and the same age as you? You'll never know. You'll never know, and that's what hurts.

Before you let yourself completely relax your muscles and slacken your head against the wall, a sudden stampede of footsteps begin to scramble their way to the entrance of the cave, making your eyes snap wide open.

“They found us,” you whisper, instantly knowing the amount of hot shit the both of you are in right now. Your fingers curl over the dagger in your belt. “Tell me, did you see them use magic?”

Zoro drifts his gaze from the sudden clambering of the Shaman’s underlings to you, his lips pursed. You stare back at him, raising your eyebrows.

“Okay. So, are they talented?” 

He remains staring at you, pursing his lips even harder into a straight line. Instantly, you turn away, eyes flickering in thought.

“Well, fuck. Shit. Okay…” You heave yourself from the ground, stumbling slightly in the process. “I think I have a plan.”

Zoro rises, his sword now glimmering and unsheathed. He stands in front of the opening, pure focus in his eye, as he holds the Kitetsu into the air.

“Look, you’ve got to leave and let me deal with them,” you say, making Zoro snap his head to you in outrage.

“Absolutely fucking not,” he growls, narrowing his eye at you. “Are you insane?”

“Seriously, Roronoa, you need to run away. Leave me --”

“You know what you’re sounding awfully a lot like? Your old man.”

“But—”

He glares at you, ferocity lingering in his lone eye.

“I told you, I’m not fuckin’ makin’ that mistake again.”

Myotismon Arc: 22-39

Episode 22: "Forget About It!"/"The Small Devil, PicoDevimon"

Synopsis

Tai and Agumon return to the Digital World to find Tokomon. Tokomon relays what has happened in the time (which is several weeks in DigiWorld time) they have been gone. He reveals that the entire group has separated and that DemiDevimon has tricked Takeru into becoming his "friend." Takeru realizes DemiDevimon's trickery after Agumon exposes him for a fraud. Tokomon Digivolves to Patamon and drives DemiDevimon away.

Thoughts

This episode focuses on Takeru, and explains where the other DigiDestined went, and this gives the story something to focus on for the next episode and I like that. This episode reminds me that Takeru is still a kid and that he should be protected. This episode and the previous one are what I see as a break from everything that has happened in the Etemon arc. Overall, fun episode that explains where everybody else is and sets up for our next major villain.

8/10: Good episode that sets up for the future.

Episode 23: "WereGarurumon's Diner"/"Oh Friend! WereGarurumon"

Synopsis

Yamato, Gabumon, Joe, and Gomamon are being forced to work at Digitamamon's diner to pay off a meal. DemiDevimon sets off a series of accidents that makes Yamato question Joe's friendship. Yamato overcomes his feeling when Joe is willing to sacrifice himself to save Takeru. Yamato crest glows and Garurumon Digivolves to WereGarurumon and defeats Digitamamon.

Thoughts

This episode is good, the characters get developed a little, and we get more hints towards are next big bad. This episode also shows that DemiDevimon will become a present threat that tries to fracture the by lying but it always fail when someone who has met him before appears and says that he is evil. The fight is short but it works for the introduction to WereGarurumon.

8/10: Good episode but has a somewhat short fight.

Episode 24: "No Questions, Please"/"Break Through! AtlurKabuterimon"

Synopsis

Koushiro is trapped in Vademon's pocket dimension and robbed of his curiosity. Tentomon eventually De-Digivolves to Pabumon, but manages to snap Koushiro out of his trance. DemiDevimon attempts to buy Koushiro's crest from Vademon, and in the confusion, Koushiro recovers his crest and his curiosity. Kabuterimon then Digivolves to MegaKabuterimon and defeats Vademon.

Thoughts

I enjoyed this episode because it shows how closes the bond between Koushiro and Tentomon. I like the reappearance of Motimon. This episode shows that DemiDevimon is becoming desperate and needs the tag or else he will receive consequences for not getting the crests.

8/10: Good episode that hints towards the future.

Episode 25: "Princess Karaoke"/"The Sleeping Tyrant! TonosomaGekomon"

Synopsis

Joe, Tai and their partners find Mimi being treated like a princess by a bunch of Gekomon and Otamamon so that she will sing and try to wake up ShogunGekomon. She has her friends locked in a dungeon when they try to trick her. However, Sora convinces her to sing. ShogunGekomon awakens and attacks the kids. MetalGreymon manages to defeat him and Mimi apologizes for her behavior.

Thoughts

This episode is comedic and learning a lesson episode and I laughed at some of the gags like the horrible singing. Mimi acts selfish in the beginning but later becomes less selfish after realizing that she needs her friends, and usually that plot would be cliche and end up bad but I think it works here. MetalGreymon appearing in this episode was fun.

8/10: Good comedic episode.

Episode 26: "Sora's Crest of Love"/"Shining Wings! Garudamon"

Synopsis

The two groups reunite. Sora tells them about the meanings of each of their crests, and how DemiDevimon told her that she had no love in her life and thus her crest would never glow. Myotismon appears, and easily defeats the Digimon. An injured Biyomon goes to help them and Sora's concern and love causes her crest to glow. Birdramon Digivolves into Garudamon and helps the group escape.

Thoughts

Another favorite as this episode not only introduces Myotismon and shows how powerful he is but also develops Sora. Despite this being his first true appearance to the DigiDestined, he has been acting behind the scenes like sending DemiDevimon to cause issues for the DigiDestined and when he does get involved, he is able to easily beat them and even when Garudamon appears, he still isn't struggling. Sora reunites with the others and gets developed by revealing why she helped them but didn't rejoin early by having no love in here life like from her mother, before eventually learning that her mother actually did care and I love this because it finally allows her crest to activate and no longer feeling this way anymore.

10/10: Another favorite of mine.

Episode 27: "The Gateway To Home"/"Vamdemon, the Castle of Darkness"

Synopsis

Gennai appears and tells them that there is an eighth DigiDestioned and that Myotismon is planning to go to the Real World with an army of evil Digimon to find him/her. The kids infiltrate Myotismon's castle in an attempt to stop him from opening a gate that will allow him access to the Real World, but fail when Gatomon animates a series of Devidramon statues.

Thoughts

I like this episode, it sets up things like Myotismon's plan to and invasion of Japan and this introduces us to Gatomon, who will be important later on. Myotismon's castle, while only appearing in this episode and the next, feels like a dangerous and terrifying place with the weird catwalk and something about it feels out of place, even in the Digital World.

8/10: Good episode that sets up things for the future.

Episode 28: "It's All In The Cards"/"The Chase! Hurry to Japan"

Synopsis

The hopeless children travels to Gennai's home, where he unravels some secrets about the Digital World. When the kid return to the castle to try to open the gate, they battle with Dokugumon and the castle is destroyed. Koushiro manages to reveal the order of the cards, but is left out with two more cards for one space. Tai decides to choose Gomamon's card instead of his partner's, and they manage to open the gateway and get back to the Real World. 

Thoughts

This episode is a fun one. This episode has the DigiDestined return to their world and frankly I love the journey they took to return. They are given and told what they need to do and what is required but it isn't easy due to some being left to guard and they use two of the Ultimates they have and use it to overpower the enemy and the fight is enjoyable. I love them returning and how happy they are.

9/10: Good episode that suceeds at what it does.

Episode 29: "Return to Highton View Terrace"/"Mammon, the Great Clash at Hikarigaoka!"

Synopsis

The DigiDestined return to camp they were originally at, and then head to Hikarigaoka, to try and find the eighth child. There, a battle between Garudamon and Mammothmon helps them recall how they all witnessed a battle four years ago between a Greymon and a Parrotmon, and surmise that the eight child must have also seen the fight.

Thoughts

This episode begins the DigiDestined looking for the eigth child and reveals more about why they were chosen due to a battle between two Digimon, connecting to the Digimon Adventure prequel movie. I love how this connects to the prequel movie by showing flashbacks and revealing what happened after. This episode has some fun bits like trying to pass off the Digimon as some toys and other bits like that.

9/10: Great episode that connects well to the prequel movie.

Episode 30: "Almost Home Free"/"Digimon, the Great Crossing of Tokyo!!"

Synopsis

The DigiDestined have a series of misadventures trying to get back to their homes in Odaiba. Eventually they end up getting a ride from a stranger, who later accidentally pushes Koushiro off a bridge. Gesomon attacks and is defeated by Ikkakumon. 

Thoughts

This episode focuses on the DigiDestined and their continueing search for the eighth child. I like how the Digimon are treated as either some toys or special effects because to an outsiders point of view, they would be seen as that. I like how the previous episode is mentioned due to this being the real world. I enjoyed this episode

8/10: Good and normal episode.

Episode 31: "The Eighth Digivice"/"Raremon! Surprise Attack on Tokyo Bay"

Synopsis

At long last, the DigiDestined return to their homes. Kari's Digivice, which she doesn't even know about yet, gets carried off by her cat. The Digivice sets off a signal that brings in DemiDevimon, Raremon and Koushiro. Kabuterimon manages to defeat Raremon. 

Thoughts

I like this episode. It focuses on mainly Koushiro with Tai mostly at home and the others either being relegated to the background or not even in the episode minus recaps and I like this focus as it reveals more about Koushiro like him being adopted and I just to give him a hug for all his trouble. The vibes of this episode feels more slice of life compared to most of the previous episodes barring episode 21 and the previous two episodes. This gives more hints that Kari is potentially the eigth DigiDestined. The fight against Raremon reminded me a lot of a kaiju, but Raremon seems to be based off Hedorah, a Godzilla kaiju, so it's not really shocking to me.

9/10: Great episode that feels like a great calming episode compared to the others.

Episode 32: "Gatomon Comes Calling"/"Tokyo Tower is Hot! DeathMeramon"

Synopsis

The DigiDestined continue their search for the eighth child. Gatomon crosses paths with Kari and wonders if she could be the eighth child. Sora, Mimi, Tai, and Koushiro battle and defeat SkullMeramon on Tokyo Tower.

Thoughts

This episode continues the search for eighth DigiDestined and gives us more hints towards the identity of the eighth. I like this one, it shows the DigiDestined trying to find the Eighth DigiDestined but unable to find them due to a crow taking the Eighth's Digivice in the last episode. I like the scenes between Kari and Gatomon because this is the first meeting between two future friends. The fight against SkullMeramon is good.

8/10: Good episode.

Episode 33: "Out on the Town"/"Pump and Gotsu are Shibuya-Type Digimon"

Synopsis

As the DigiDestined continue their search, Yamato and Takeru, who are searching for Patamon whom Takeru just had a fight with, run into Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon, two servants of Myotismon who are far more interested in having fun than helping Myotismon. When they refuse to destroy Yamato and Takeru, they are transported back to the Digital World to be killed by Myotismon and riling up the brothers in the process. 

Thoughts

My feelings on this episode are a bit mixed but leaning more positive. The beginning is fine and set up is fine, and I feel it works. My biggest issues come from Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon scenes after Patamon and Takeru's fight, I didn't really find the jokes funny. But when Myotismon appears, the episode starts to become better as Myotismon shows how evil he is by killing both Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon, and while I didn't really enjoy their jokes, I was still shocked by them both being killed because they were just two guys that made jokes and only made Myotismon more evil to me. The fight between Myotismon and WereGarurumon is one of my favorites as this one of the few time Myotismon gets involved himself and I like seeing Angemon return.

7/10: Good episode that sorta drags in the middle.

Episode 34: "The Eighth Child Revealed"/"Fate's Bond! Tailmon"

Synopsis

Wizardmon finds Kari's Digivice and brings Gatomon and Kari together. It is revealed that Kari is the eighth DigiDestined and that Gatomon is her partner. Gatomon and Wizardmon decide to get Kari's crest from Myotismon, but this only leads to Gatomon's capture and the apparent killing of Wizardmon. 

Thoughts

This episode reveals that Kari is the eighth DigiDestined and Gatomon's backstory. Throughout this arc, we have been getting hints on who the eighth Digidestined and I love how previous things connect for this like where the crow went in episode 31 and the fight against Myotismon in the previous episode. Gatomon's backstory is sad but also hints at her future partner, Kari. I like the fight against Myotismon as he continues to prove how powerful and evil he is.

9/10: Good episode that finally reveals our eighth Digidestined.

Episode 35: "Flower Power"/"Odaiba's Fairy! Lilymon Blossoms"

Synopsis

Myotismon creates a barrier of fog around Odaiba and evil Digimon roam the streets. Bakemon and Phantomon begin taking people from their homes and holding them prisoner. Sora and Mimi get captured and try to plan an escape. Biyomon and Sora's mother come to her rescue, and Palmon Digivolves into Lillymon to defeat a minion DarkTyrannomon and hold off Myotismon.

Thoughts

Things are starting to heat up with a lot of the peple in Odaiba being kidnapped and held prisoner by Myotismon's after sending Phantomon and multiple Bakemon kidnap these people. I already know Myotismon was pure evil but considering how things have been going lately for his army, I'm not shocked he decide to get his hands and when he does it why he leads compared to everyone else here. I like that we see more of the parents and see a lot of their reactions to some of their kids Digimon. While the kids main conflict of this episode aren't in the main conflict due to not knowing what is happening like Takeru and Joe, doing something like Tai, Kari, and Yamato, or just don't make a physical appearance like Koushiro, but I'm fine with this because it makes the focus on Sora and Mimi greater.

10/10: Great Episode that begins the final stretch of episodes of the Myotismon arc.

Episode 36: "City Under Siege" "Break through the Barrier! Zudomon Spark!"

Synopsis

Myotismon uses Gatomon to try and identify the eight child. Kari is found by Phantomon and gives herself up so that Matt and Sora are not harmed. Meanwhile, Joe and Takeru travel back through Odaiba Bay and are attacked by MegaSeadramon after finding Wizardmon with Kari's crest in his possession. When Joe almost drowns, his crest glows and Ikkakumon Digivolves to Zudomon and defeats MegaSeadramon. 

Thoughts

This episode has Koushiro, Joe, and Takeru arrive to help but it is to late as things start to get worst as Kari is captured. I like how the situation has just gotten worst due to Myotismon's army just being strong and deadly considering they didn't see this coming. I like the feel and overall tone for how dire the situation is. Kinda wish we saw Zudomon a little more and Koushiro do a little more.

9/10: Great episode that will eventually to a finale for this arc.

Episode 37: "Wizardmon's Gift"/"Perfects Attack Together! Sparkling Angewomon"

Synopsis

The DigiDestined are reunited. Wizardmon heals Lillymon who was attacked by Myotismon, and follows the group to the top of the TV Station. When Myotismon tries to attack, Wizardmon saves Kari and Gatomon, but at the cost of his own life. Gatomon Digivolves to Angewomon and defeats Myotismon with the help of the combined powers of the others.

Thoughts

This episode, oh this episode. This another one of my favorites as it has a lot of action, character, introduces another evolution and the end to one of my favorite villains. I genuinely love how this episode ends, as despite killing Myotismon with their combined power, the fog isn't going away and sets up for what is next to come.

10/10: Excellent episode with a lot of things going for it.

Episode 38: "Prophecy"/"Revival! The Demon Lord VenomVamdemon"

Synopsis

An ancient DigiWorld prophecy comes true as Myotismon returns as VenomMyotismon. Angemon and Angewomon, following the end of the prophecy, shoot Tai and Yamato with their arrows of Hope and Light, given from the crests of Takeru and Kari, allowing Agumon and Gabumon to Warp Digivolve into WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon.

Thoughts

This episode introduces us to a prophecy, more world-building, of Myotismon returning as VenomMyotismon but the introduction to two of my favorite Digimon, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. I love how this sets up for next episode. Also in this episode, we meet more of the others family, Joe's brother, and more about Koushiro's backstory. This episode serves as a calm before the storm although, if the storm was already violent and this is just a hurricane joining the fight. I loved to see what happens next.

9/10: Great episode that sets up for the finale of this arc.

Episode 39: "The Battle for Earth"/"Two Great Ultimate Evolutions! Get Rid of the Darkness!"

Synopsis

With the help of the entire team, and their Digivices, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon are able to defeat VenomMyotismon. However, the Digital world seems to appear in the Sky, and anything that touches it or the Digimon that seem to come out of it, freezes. After saving a plane, they realize that they must hold off on enjoying time with their families, and instead must return to the Digital world to save it once more.

Thoughts

The finale to an arc I genuinely liked, this episode has a first-half that ends the fight between the DigiDestined and VenomMyotismon that is shockingly well animated, and the second-half deals with the aftermath and returning back to the Digital world. I love this because despite defeating Myotismon/VenomMyotismon and his forces, they have one more thing to do before finally returning home. The fights are great, the stakes are high, and I enjoy all of the characters here. This is why I love Digimon, a fun and interesting story.

12/10: A excellent arc finale that leads into the next arc seamlessly.

Dark Masters Arc: 40-54

Episode 40: "Enter The Dark Masters"/"The Four Kings of the Mountain of the Devil! The Dark Masters!"

Synopsis

As the DigiDestined return to the Digital World, they learn of the four Dark Masters who have taken it over. MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, and Piedmon are all mega level Digimon, and are more than a match for the DigiDestined. Piximon manages to save the children, although dying in the process.

Thoughts

We finally return to the Digital World, but with this return, we meet our new villains. I'm gonna be honest with you, I love the Dark Masters' introduction as it shows how they act and what they can do. I love how effective and powerful, and I was shocked by both Chuumon and Piximon being killed by the Dark Masters, showing how evil they are. Biggest flaw would probably be the evolution sequences taking a bit of time, but I can probably excuse them by wanting show how powerful each Dark Master is compared to the DigiDestined.

8//10: Great introduction to our final main villains but the evolution sequences take up a little too much time.

Episode 41: "Sea-Sick and Tired"/"The Hardened King of the Seas! MetalSeadramon"

Synopsis

The kids, hungry and longing for food, happen upon a small shack on the beach. As they enter, they fall into the trap of one of MetalSeadramon's minions, Scorpiomon. They eventually escape and defeat Scorpiomon, who is then destroyed by MetalSeadramon. They try to escape by sea but are immediately stopped by MetalSeadramon. But just as the kids are about to be destroyed by MetalSeadramon, Whamon comes to their rescue and they flee to the bottom of the ocean.

Thoughts

This episode features our first non-introduction fight against one of the Dark Masters, MetalSeadramon, and some growth as the DigiDestined have become stronger but as shown against Scorpiomon, need a little more to be able to take down one of the Dark Masters. I like how we see that the Dark Masters have an army similar to previous villains but unlike others they have been successful and have actual power compared to the others. I also like how we see more of the previously met Digimon helping them.

8/10: Good Episode

Episode 42: "Under Pressure""Silent Whamon on the Bottom of the Sea"

Synopsis

Koushiro realizes that WarGreymon is known as a "Dramon Destroyer" and would be ideal in defeating MetalSeadramon. After escaping some Divermon, MetalSedramon catches up to them, and a battle begins. Agumon Warp Digivolves into WarGreymon but is nearly destoyed by MetalSeadramon. Whamon tries to help WarGreymon but is destroyed in the process. WarGreymon finally manages to defeat MetalSeadramon.

Thoughts

This episode features the first true and biggest win for the DigiDestined in their battle against the Dark Masters, the death MetalSeadramon. I love how he is beaten using more strategy as while weak to WarGreymon's gauntlets, the "Dramon Destroyers", he had armor and the best way to beat him was to use WarGreymon's Great Tornado and go through him. This also establishes that when one of the Dark Masters are defeated/killed, Spiral Mountain one of its portion like MetalSeadramon's ocean. Whamon's hurts especially after what happened to some of the previous ones like Piximon.

9/10: Great Episode a major blow to the villains.

Episode 43: "Playing Games"/"The Dangerous Game! Pinocchimon"

Synopsis

After creating a memorial for their lost friends, The kids then go into a forest were they are continually taunted by Puppetmon, using toys to move them around. He kidnaps Takeru, who manages to demolish the toys Puppetmon was using to control the kids and escape. Yamato leaves the group after his little brother returns, realizing that he isn't needed to protect Takeru anymore.

Thoughts

This episode is a fun one and shows us our next Dark Master, Puppetmon, and boy is he fun. The beginning shows the effects of MetalSeadramon and graves of the fallen Digimon that helped them like Piximon and Whamon. I like how this episode focuses on Takeru and how he is becoming braver. My biggest issue with this episode is probably the conflict between Tai and Yamato but I can probably excuse it as considering everything that has happened has pushed them to the limit.

8/10: Great and fun episode with a lot to enjoy.

Episode 44: "Trash Day"/"Jureimon of the Lost Forest"

Synopsis

Yamato is tricked by Cherrymon, a minion of Puppetmon, into believing that Tai is his rival and that Yamato needs to defeat him. Cherrymon realizes that if the cards aren't played right, that Puppetmon would lose. Puppetmon was insulted by this and destroyed Cherrymon, before leaving to go see the pending fight. Meanwhile, Puppetmon's platoon of Garbagemon are handled by Lillymon and MetalGreymon.

Thoughts

This episode is interesting as it mainly focuses Yamato and him not knowing what to do and during this, he is tricked by Cherrymon, which leads to him thinking Tai is his rival and wanting to fight him. I like how this develops Yamato as character and this will probably be finished in the next episode. While that is happening, the other 7 are fighting some of Puppetmon's minions and this is enjoyable. I like how this episode ends and I wonder how this conflict will end.

8/10: Great episode that develops Yamato and sets up for the next episode.

Episode 45: "The Ultimate Clash"/"Clash of the Ultimates! WarGreymon VS MetalGarurumon"

Synopsis

Tension runs high as a fight breaks out between Yamato and Tai as well as their respective partners. Suddenly, Kari's body is taken over by a strange entity, explaining why the children were chosen to save the DigiWorld in the first place. Yamato leaves the group again. Mimi, who no longer wants to fight anymore, and Joe, who wants to protect Mimi, leave as well.

Thoughts

This episode is interesting as we get to see the reason to hy these eight were chosen and a sorta ending to Tai and Yamato's rivalry. I like the beginning as we see that Tai has grown a lot since the beginning and I like that he doesn't want to fight Yamato because he doesn't see him as rival but a friend. I like how we get to see a backstory for why the DigiDestined were chosen and gives a lot more world building and lore for the story. I wonder what will happen next as the group has been separated into three.

10/10: Excellent episode that expands on the entire story.

Episode 46: "Etemon's Comeback Tour"/"The Counterattack of MetalEtemon"

Synopsis

Etemon returns as MetalEtemon to take revenge on the DigiDestined. Joe and Mimi rescue Ogremon who was injured when Woodmon attacked him. The others get inside of Puppetmon's mansion with the help of two of his 'playmates,' who keep Puppetmon at bay with his own cannon.

Thoughts

To contrast the somber tone the last episode had, this one is a lot more goofier as it has the return of what is currently my favorite villain, Etemon as MetalEtemon. I like Etemon return as he is my favorite villain as of now and seeing him fight Puppetmon is fun despite how short it is. I like seeing Ogremon again as we haven't seen him since File Island and also continues to show how other Digimon are dealing with Spiral Mountain. I like how the other children strategize to go into Puppetmon's mansion considering how deadly Puppetmon is.

9/10: Fun episode that features the return of my favorite villain.

Episode 47: "Ogremon's Honor"/"Oh Wind! Oh Light! SaberLeomon"

Synopsis

Leomon returns as SaberLeomon, and saves Joe and Mimi from MetalEtemon. He explains that his exposure to the digivices helped him to Digivolve, but he cannot control it. He is later fatally wounded by MetalEtemon when he attempts to save Mimi. SaberLeomon manages to defeat MetalEtemon with Zudomon's help. Before he dies, Leomon and Ogremon make peace with each other, and Mimi and Joe decide to gather more reinforcements. Puppetmon is also defeated by MetalGarurumon.

Thoughts

This episode features the deaths of MetalEtemon, Leomon, and Puppetmon, meaning two Dark Masters are left. I like revisiting some old locations and characters we have been before and it continues to show the horrible state the Digital World has been left in thanks to the Dark Masters. I like seeing the fight between SaberLeomon and MetalEtemon as it is fun and how MetalEtemon is creative by using Zudomon's hammer to put a crack in MetalEtemon and SaberLeomon using it to kill MetalEtemon. The fight against Puppetmon is fun and shows that despite being powerful he got overwhelmed and when backed into a corner, leading to him transforming his mansion into a wooden golem but he eventually meets his end at the hands of the surprise return of Yamato and MetalGarurumon. When it comes to the deaths, it's sad but I probably could tell you that I kinda saw it coming.

9/10: Great episode that puts an end to another Dark Master.

Episode 48: "My Sister's Keeper"/"Bombing Mission! Mugendramon"

Synopsis

Kari falls ill, and Tai becomes nearly hysterical in his attempts to help her, due to his past failure in keeping her safe after taking her out to play soccer while she was sick. Machinedramon attacks them in a mechanical city under his control, after tracking them through Koushiro's constant access of the City's map, and the group is separated, under ground.

Thoughts

This episode shows why Tai is protective over Kari, his younger sister, when she falls ill and during this, Machinedramon and his Metal Empire Army try to find them and kill them once and for all. I like seeing Tai being given focus when it comes to his relationship with Kari and seeing flashbacks as to why makes me feel for him. We now arrive out our third Dark Master, Machinedramon, and while he doesn't do a lot during this episode, he still has a commanding presence and when he does get involved and find the DigiDestined, he shoots them and causes the ground beneath them to collapse, separating them. The Metal Empire Army is awesome with all their machines and weaponry, probably my favorite out of all the armies we have seen as of now.

9/10: Great character focus episode that introduces one my favorite villains, Machinedramon.

Episode 49: "The Crest of Light"/"Farewell Numemon"

Synopsis

Kari recovers, and, along with Sora and Takeru, begins searching for the others. They run into WaruMonzaemon, and Kari, now glowing with light, frees the Numemon he has enslaved, who then begin calling her "Queen Kari". Andromon, who also realized Kari as "Queen Kari" soon battles with Machinedramon after meeting up with Tai and Izzy, and the Numemon sacrifice themselves to save Kari. Machinedramon is then defeated by WarGreymon.

Thoughts

This episode finally puts an end to our second to last Dark Master, Machinedramon, and his Metal Empire Army. Just as quickly as he appeared, he dies off in a cool way as a one stroke duel and gets into pieces. While I wish we saw more of him, I'm fine with this being the end of Machinedramon. I like this episode more charcter focus on Sora, Takeru, and Kari to kinda flesh them out more and give me some interactions I like. Now only one Dark Master remains, Piedmon and I wonder how he will be beaten.

8/10: Great Episode that has a great character focus but kinda wish we spent more time with the villain of these two episodes, Machinedramon.

Episode 50: "Joe's Battle"/"The Girls' Battle! LadyDevimon"

Synopsis

Joe goes off on his own to find Yamato, leaving Mimi with their reinforcements. Angewomon faces off against LadyDevimon, one of Piedmon's servants. After LadyDevimon's defeat, Piedmon begins to approach the group. Tai tells Sora and Takeru to go off to try and locate the missing DigiDestined while he stays behind to hold off Piedmon until they return.

Thoughts

This episode finally has the five of the DigiDestined arrive at the Dark Masters main base on top of Spiral Mountain but before they can go there, they are attacked by LadyDevimon, Piedmon's personal guard, and during this, we see Joe decide to find Yamato, and Mimi and some friendly Digimon trying to find other friendly Digimon. I like the moments with Joe and Mimi's group as we see what they have been doing during all of this and some moments like Joe deciding to leave the group find Yamato is nice. The other scenes with the five DigiDestined are fine as they start to plan something but once LadyDevimon as it is both a serious but has moments of comedy like the slap fight and the reactions of Kari and Sora. My favorite moments of this episoe would probably be seeing Tai use strategy, showing that he has grown as character since the beginning, and the last scene as Piedmon approaches three of the Digidestined, Tai, Kari, and Koushiro.

8/10: Great episode that begins the final stretch of episodes.

Episode 51: "The Crest of Friendship"/"Piemon, the Clown from Hell"

Synopsis

Piedmon and WarGreymon battle, although WarGreymon is no match for him. Yamato confronts his inner darkness, but breaks free with the help of Gabumon. Sora does as well, but breaks free with Yamato and Joe's help. All of the DigiDestined but Mimi eventually reunite. Both WarGreymon (now restored to full strength by the Crest of Friendship) and MetalGarurumon prepare to battle Piedmon.

Thoughts

This episode has Yamato return and reunite with the other DigiDestined after some reflection and during this, Tai is trying his best with WarGreymon to fight Piedmon but it seems they are not enough. My favorite scenes are the moments with Yamato shows what he has been doing and develops him as he starts to reflect about everything that has happened up until now. The fight against Piedmon is one-sided as despite gaining experience taking down others Megas/Ultimates, WarGreymon is getting horribly beaten. But the real fight will begin in the next episode.

9/10: Great Episode that serves as great development for some of the DigiDestined.

Episode 52: "Piedmon's Last Jest"/"Holy Swordsman, HolyAngemon"

Synopsis

Piedmon begins to turn the kids and Digimon into key chains. After nearly all allies are stopped, Takeru realizes the hope his brother Yamato has for him and finally gets his crest to glow, making Angemon Digivolve into MagnaAngemon. MagnaAngemon restores the DigiDestined to their rightful forms as Mimi arrives with the reinforcements. With the help of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, MagnaAngemon finally defeats Piedmon.

Thoughts

This episode gives Patamon's long awaited Ultimate/Perfect, MagnaAngemon and the defeat of the last Dark Master and their permanent end as Piedmon finally meets his end at the combined power of the DigiDestined. I'm gonna be honest, this a one hell of a way to have a villain being threatening and I enjoyed seeing Piedmon being scary and threatening as he hunts down the DigiDestined and turns them into dolls. Patamon's evolution into MagnaAngemon is good as it represents the growth of Takeru from a defenseless boy to someone who can protect himself. But this is not the end as we still have one more villain and I wonder who it is.

9/10: Great Episode that has a threatening villain and shows character growth for Takeru.

Episode 53: "Now Apocalymon"/"The Last Dark Digimon"

Synopsis

Although the Dark Masters are defeated, it is not enough to stop the complete destruction of the Digital World and the children and Digimon are forced to face the true mastermind of all the chaos: Apocalymon. The evil digimon destroys the Tags and Crests, before deleting the kids and Digimon. They realize that they have no need for the tags and crests, what they needed was inside all along, and the Digimon digivolve to their highest forms. They then return to confront Apocalymon again.

Thoughts

The penultimate episode and the introduction to our final villain of this show, Apocalymon and boy does he make an entrance as we get one of the most threatening villains I have ever seen as he uses the powers of the defeated Digimon the DigiDestined like Myotismon and the Dark Masters to easily beat the DigiDestined and deletes them. The scene in the world of information as the DigiDestined, realizing that they have power within in themselvers, and the multiple Digivolutions to strongest forms is one of my favorite scenes in this entire show. The final scene showing that the DigiDestined and their Digimon ready to fight Apocalymon, ready to save both of their worlds, goes hard. This episode also gives and shows us that there were previous DigiDestined but that's a story for another time.

12/10: An excellent penultimate episode that shows the growth the DigiDestined has gone through as they prepare to face their most intimidating villain yet.

Episode 54: "The Fate of Two Worlds"/"A New World"

Synopsis

After returning from their deleted state, the Digimon manage to defeat Apocalymon. He tries one last attack to destroy both worlds, but the power of the Digivices contains the blast. The DigiDestined are shown the beginning of the Digital World's rebirth, and prepare to spend the rest of their summer in the Digital World. However, Gennai informs them that although the timeline has been restored, there is only a small window of opportunity to leave and the children either have to leave now or remain in the Digital World forever. After saying their tearful good-byes to their partners, the kids depart for home.

Thoughts

We have finally reached the end of the line and frankly to be honest with you, this is my second favorite episode of the entire show and I can see why, it's a happy and sweet ending. The beginning with continuation of last time ends the fight against Apocalypmon with the DigiDestined using all they got to finally beat him and this is a great way to end the fight. After the Digital World is restored, we return to File Island and I like all the scenes here as we get to reminisce on some of the past adventures the DigiDestined had here like their first night here. But now we get to my favorite scenes and the one scene that makes me cry, the farewells to the DigiDestined's Digimon and the final goodbye scene as the DigiDestined leave in the trolley from episode 3 and their Digimon say goodbye as the theme song of the show, "Butter-Fly", plays in the background. I just love that scene.

14/10: A perfect to end a show like this.

Overall Thoughts

Now that I have finished the main show here are my overall thoughts on it.

Digimon Adventure is something I have not seen in awhile, good storytelling and good characters. Don't get me wrong because while I like the story and characters Power Rangers Wild Force and Kamen Rider Amazon, I just think Digimon had more fleshed out characters and a better story in comparison.

I like the story because while simple, works as we have a group of normal children just going through a world that is different from their own world with some small animals that can transform from a small lizard to an armored humanoid dragon with the power kill other dragons or a cat into an attractive angel woman, and I like seeing how weird the Digital World.

When it comes to arcs, the Devimon arc is a great way to begin a series and I enjoyed seeing the DigiDestined explore File Island and serves as an introduction to the basics of the Digital World like evolution and levels. The Etemon arc, while shorter than the rest, is a fun arc and probably my favorite arc when it comes to how fun its villain is and the character development and moments we get like Tai's reaction to SkullGreymon or Tai caring for Sora. The Myotismon Arc is the longest arc and the one that I felt that kinda dragged, while I do like its villain and its visuals, I feel like you could've shortened by removing some episodes that don't really add anything but that's probably just me watching these episodes consecutively, probably leading to me getting burnt out from this review. The Dark Masters arc is the final arc and serves as a great way to end this with the villains being more threatening than ever, a lot of character development like Yamato trying to find his way, and has a great final battle and a goodbye scene that I cry everytime it happens, but I think the biggest weakness of this arc is probably the villains not lasting long enough for me to care about them. Let's move on to the characters, mainly our heroes and villains.

Starting with the DigiDestined, Tai is probably my favorite of the DigiDestined and I can see why, he develops from being a stubborn but brave kid to someone more experienced, and I love him for all of that. Agumon is such a good and polite boy, just look at him.

I just like him and all of the fun he brings. Yamato is probably the most developed of the entire cast and I liked seeing him go from loner to a little more open to the others. Gabumon is another good boy and I like seeing his friendship with Yamato. Sora is like the mother of the group and likes the glue that holds the group, and I like seeing her development and enjoyed her a lot. Biyomon is fine, I have no real strong opinions on her. Koushiro is my second favorite of the DigiDestined and I can see, he is more logical and having a good friendship with Tentomon, speaking of which. Tentomon is my second favorite of the DigiDestined's Digimon as he has my favorite friendship with his partner, and has some of my favorite moments like him evolving into MegaKabuterimon to save Koushiro. Going from my second favorite DigiDestined to my least favorite, Mimi is fine but I think she was kinda of annoying during the early portions but I do love seeing her become less selfish in the later arcs. I like Palmon as she is nice, kind, has a good friendship with Mimi, and her voice shocklingly didn't get on my nerves. Joe is good character as I somewhat relate to him when it comes to school and struggling in priorities. Gomamon is good and I enjoy his friendship with Joe, but I kinda wish Zudomon got a better first appearence. Now we arrive at my third favorite character, Takeru is one of the two younger DigiDestined but does not stop him from having one of my developments as he goes from a shy little to a more mature. Patamon is just adorable, look at him with your eyes.

And he evolves into a cool angel because of his friendship with Takeru.

Now we arrive at the last DigiDestined and the younger sister of Tai, Kari is the one I'm shocked I enjoyed and I can see why because despite not having as much screentime, she helped the group with her gentle and kind personality, and had my bond between siblings with Tai that felt a bit sad. Gatomon is one of the better characters as she starts off as an antagonist in the Myotismon Arc but as the arc goes on we are revealed more about her and how she joined Myotismon, but gradually started to question Myotismon and eventually helped the DigiDestined take him down.

Now we arrive at the villains, and unlike the DigiDestined, I have more mixed opinions on them. Starting with Devimon, he serves as a good first major antagonist as he is somewhat simplistic in motives with wanting to spread darkness and wanting to kill the DigiDestined. Next up is Etemon, and boy does he leave an impression as he is more goofy yet threatening at the same time, making him my favorite, and his return as MetalEtemon was nice to see and seeing him fight Puppetmon was fun to see despite it being short. Now we have Myotismon and he's fine as a villain but kinda of generic. Despite being generic in comparison to the other villains, I still enjoyed how threatening his presence was and him as VenomMyotismon brought one of my favorite fights with WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon fighting him. Next up are the Dark Masters and I'm kinda mixed on them as I like two of them and neutral towards the other two. First up, MetalSeadramon and he is my least favorite as he doesn't have a lot going for him compared to the others as he kinda is lacking in personality compared to the others, but I did enjoy his fight against Wargreymon. Next up, Puppetmon and he is my favorite of all four of the Dark Masters and my second favorite villain of Adventure as he is both fun and threatening and enjoyed a lot of his scenes in his episodes. Now we arrive at Machinedramon and he is my second favorite of the Dark Masters as he shows how cruel he is and can backup his power with his intelligence as he matched Koushiro but my biggest issue with him is probably his lack of screentime. Now we get to Piedmon and he serves as good threat and has his moments of true teror like turning most of the Digidestined into dolls, but to me, he lacks screen time like most of the Dark Masters, but thankfully has a personality. Finally, we arrive at Apocalypmon and he serves as a great final boss, because he serves as the accumalation of what the Digidestined has faced, and while he only appears in the final two episodes, he still makes his presence known, and I love that about him as villain. Overall, I enjoyed and loved a lot of the villains in this show.

Ranking (Worst to Best): MetalSeadramon<<Machinedramon<Devimon<Myotismon<Piedmon<<Apocalymon<Puppetmon<Etemon

Conclusion/Rating

Overall, I love Digimon Adventure as this show genuinely makes me love the characters, and the world they live in. It quite literally surpassed the other two shows I've reviewed by so much that this the longest review I have done for a show as of now. I think I already gave a lot of my thoughts on this show.

Rating: 12/10, genuinely my favorite show of all time as of now.

So join when I finish this adventure in Our War Game!

One Piece Chapter 1094 - Initial Thoughts

And we are back again

Another week break has been rough but we're back with our Straw Hats in Egghead

Let's see how it goes

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release

Starting with a Shimotsuki-themed colour spread; Zoro in the middle of course but you have Kozaburo, Koushiro, Kuina on the right, Yasuie, Ushimaru (plus Onimaru) and Ryuma (Zombie and I think regular) to the left. Seems only Toko is left out among the confirmed Shimotsuki

Well that's an ominous title as we pick up right where we left off

Graphical reminder that the Gorosei are above Vegapunk in chain of command

The Mark IIIs have started their assault on the Navy though as the VegaTank 8 sticks to the cloud path with its special wheels

Sanji's lady senses immediately pick up where Bonney is, as he darts into her direction

Vegapunk like 'a lady radar's not real but ok' XD

Bonney is under attack though, with a guy using like a shell Monk's Spade

Bonney been packing heat this whole time?

Gratuitous ass shot in a splits cartwheel while firing a gun

The attack is non-fatal, since it's called 'Near-Death Experience'

A Yohoho in the chat for the navy guy hit with it, he was suddenly bones for a second, and now there's the trauma

Bonney runs right into a Mark III but this one's not on our side

Old Lady Vice Admiral Bluegrass has commandeered this Mark III with her Ride-Ride Fruit, which allows her to command anything like a vehicle

Whoa lady the aging effects are temporary cool it down

Bonney once again stutters at the sight of her father's visage, which allows Sanji though to get the jump in to save her

Shell Spade man's attack is Whack-an-Otter, which I guess means he might have an Otter-based skill or fruit

With Bonney in hand Vegapunk drives to Sanji to make their escape

Back with Luffy vs Kizaru, and both are showing signs of fatigue

Kizaru's doing a lot of dipping out of the fight

The two, Zoro and Lucci then sense something though, the ominous aura felt by Jinbe and the other Vice Admirals

Also Nami, Chopper and Usopp are accounted for tending to Stussy

Saturn makes the order, all Pacifista are to cease

Knowing the chain of command, Atlas confirms that a Gorosei must be here

What the? WHAT IS THIS?

There's literally a summoning circle there!

Why did he need a boat if you just just summon him?

Marines are told that Saturn is coming, but you also have to be a certain rank (Commodore) to witness his arrival, all others must avert their gaze

This ritual circle is making a lot of emissions

I mean, the revision of '5 Elder Planets' makes sense and all but then you gotta use a pentagram to summon them

A non-Commodore didn't listen and gets immediately killed

no seriously WHAT IS THAT?

Saturn's fruit is not of this world, he's for sure an awakened zoan, black fire scarf like Lucci and Kaku wonder if the colour is reflective of alignment, but he's got like spider legs and a ram's horns and fur, also finger claws

My guess is the Ushi Oni, as Naruto fans would know it as the Gyuki aka the Eight Tails, they have toxic breath too

What's interesting for the Ushi Oni is that they do frequent around water, and have been attributed to poisoning water sources, maybe the Gorosei are the devils of which the fruits are named?

The Vegatank is knocked off its course by Kizaru, who barely missed the tank

Luffy's on his popeye energy, but he has to dodge one of Kizaru's laser, turning him into a spinning top again

But he uses the momentum for an ACOC Hook punch called a 'White Star Punch' in scanlations, sending the fist through the head much like he did with Kaido's face

Also some stars popped out for the headache Kizaru's gonna get

That seems to be Luffy's final blow though as he runs out of gas, right as Saturn recognizes him as Nika

I know the spider legs are intimidating but I just can't stop seeing Dr Kureha's trousers, Oda likes those flame legs

The Vegatank 8 is alas the most recent casualty of Egghead, but all its passengers are safe

...if not standing right in front of a towering Gorosei

There's some cold introductions between Saturn and Vegapunk

But Bonney is going straight for the kill, grabbing a sword and plunging it into Saturn's chest

Dialogue implies that the Gorosei must've commanded Kuma's personality wipe, maybe we'll cover what she saw next chapter

It has been 5 weeks since we have seen our wife, our queen, our light of the Revolutionaries, Nico Robin. WHERE ARE YOU HIDING HER ODA?

Well things continue to get more complicated.

We all knew Saturn would have to get involved but I don't think we were expecting a full demon summoning shit to go down. With Luffy exhausted in front of him too it's falling down to Sanji, Bonney and Franky to help him and the Punks escape.

Part of me feels like Kizaru will recover too, you don't see him KO'd after all. I am hoping that Zoro just finishes Lucci quickly after this though because I still don't buy that Lucci's in the Billion beri tier. Jinbe seems to be aware of the threat moreso that Nami, Chopper and Usopp so I wonder if he'll jump into action at all.

But obviously I doubt Bonney's stab has done anything really to Saturn, except probably invoked his rage from 'she's just a little girl' to *Kill Bill Sirens*. But I do very much hope we see that flashback, maybe Kuma will come in to save everyone again, either pawing Saturn away or pawing the Sunny away with the Punks and Crew.

There's still also the threat of Blackbeard there, that would definitely be a fruit he'd want, maybe the Yami Yami no Mi was the fruit of a former Elder Planet? But it could also invite an unlikely alliance. Or the Revolutionaries simply show up? Speed not really on their side though unless Dragon kinda flies there. Caribou gonna jump in an steal the Gorosei, clutch move of the century XD

Many directions things can go, but I very much need to know that Robin's safe and sound.

More headcanons

Haruto and Yoshino often spend one day every one or two months to spend time together and just enjoy their favorite treats while catching up after Yoshino moves out

Shinnosuke is almost never aware of the gossip floating around his department, mostly due to the fact that everyone is afraid of gossiping while the boss is around. So he only finds out about Yoshino's relationship status when she asks him for a month's paid time off so she can go on her honeymoon with her future husband. Shinnosuke almost chokes on his coffee due to the shock

Vane has never told a direct lie to anyone's face. He has, however, lied by omission (that being where you tell people only certain parts of the truth to cover up whatever information you don't want them to know). Like when he claimed that the toys he took were in the lost and found, even after he put them there to begin with.

Satoshi inherited his papa (Zox's) talent for singing and dancing, to where even as he man's his bar, you can catch him humming and dancing while he mixes up some drinks. Satoshi also refers to Stacey as Father and Kaito as dad

Whenever Juliana is asked how she was born. She always tells them the same story. "Well, one day, my moms loved each other so much they decided they wanted to have a baby. So they asked for one and then poof there I was. " While sounding absurd, is an abridged version of what really happened

Kana isn't normally a competitive person outside of racing. That said, if anyone were to boot up any version of Mario Kart or any other racing game, Kana would not stop playing till she won. Shunpei, on the other hand, sucks at racing games but is amazing at any FPS. Within minutes, he's like a pro. The only person who can outmatch him is Parad, but I'm also convinced Parad cheats a little. It's just a tiny bit of cheating but still

Yoshino and Koushiro are both workaholics. Yoshino is to the point where she is forced to take at least a weeks vacation every six months to not overwork herself. Koushiro somehow thrives doing his homework while also calculating the expenses and bills for the bathhouse, often doing all nighters on Friday and Saturday nights to get everything done. Vane sleep 18 hours a day inside of Koushiro's heart as a means to beauty sleep (also so that Koushiro can focus during school).

Carmen once ran a small candy gambling ring at her elementary school, even rigging it slightly. Only to get caught by a teacher and having a parent called. Luckily, Keiichiro was busy and couldn't pick up the phone, so Kairi came and handled the whole situation. On the drive home, he gave Carmen a few tips and tricks on how to properly run a covert gambling ring.

Extended Commentary: An A.M.V. I made in just under 2 hours, or, about an hour and 50 minutes total of editing, plus saving and review checks; as I aimed to finish just in time for: "Kou&Ten Day" a.k.a a "Koushiro & Tentomon Day" {Focus} (5/10, May 10) in the J.P.N fan base, the name comes from the "Kou" of Koushiro's J.P.N name, {Kou = Go = "Five" (5)} as pronounced in J.P.N + "Ten", a nickname for "Tentomon" partially given by Mrs. Izumi during "02" ("Tento-san") Koushiro fans often share Koushiro works on this day, including platonic works.

This particular work, specifically for Koushiro x Taichi, includes a Queer focus lens as the original song did. (Please be respectful if interacting on this work!)

This {s o n g} means a LOT to me on a personal level, so please, please if you can support and consider purchasing the original by A r c h u l e t a, at any official links it may be out on, including I T U N E S!

As Mother's Day 2k24 is also 5/12 this year, it's also just in time for combo Kou&Ten Day+Mother's Day!

-Don't you feel cold anymore? - a somewhat affectionate blonde asks his fiancée

-No, thanks for lending me your jacket, it fits me better than it does on you - Mimi responds, somewhat honeyed by Yamato's affection.

He heard the honeyed voices of his boss and her partner that he didn't know he had. He had started working at the Tachikawa company two months ago, especially for the granddaughter of said company. At that time he thought she was single and when she asked him to go out to the park he innocently believed that it was going to be some kind of date between the two. because he had fallen in love with her, she was very attentive and fun although she always played with him to make him nervous, he even thought she was flirting with him but the reality was different or he just had silly illusions because of the affection his boss showed him.

When they arrived at the park and the weather was all gray, it seemed like something romantic, like in the novels where they declare their love and kiss in the rain, but when she saw a blonde approaching, she thought it was someone who wanted to assault them because of the outfit they were wearing. He had, to the redhead's surprise, his boss ran after him to give him a kiss, which he reciprocated.

After their eternal kiss and witnessing the entire scene the couple decided to sit on a bench, they decided to first talk about how much they missed each other; and the? Well, listening to the conversation where he found out that they had met again a long time ago because he couldn't handle the astrophysics postgraduate degree that he was about to finish - appearances can be deceiving - the redhead thinks and that's where it starts to rain, instinctively he takes out the umbrella to protect his boss and the blonde took off his jacket to protect her from the cold that was beginning, the only thing Koushiro could do was wait for the rain to calm down or for the couple sitting there to decide to end their meeting.
