HELLO!
Day 19 - Favorite Non-tri. Adventure Movie
EASY CHOICE! Honestly I love all of the first four DigiAdv movies, because of the art style or the plot. Yes, Hurricane Touchdown included.
HOWEVER... My favorite had been for years this particular pseudo-Hosoda movie.
Diablomon Strikes Back. This movie might be one of the best of the Adv-verse movies in my opinion, because it reinforces teamwork. Sure, a lot of the characters seem to be put aside like happens in OWG but the difference here is them trying to gather and fight together.
And when I meant EVERYONE it’s literally EVERYONE. Mimi, Joe and Sora are trying to get there but there’s some issues delaying their arrival, most probably caused by Diablomon’s schemes. The movie focus on Diablomon trying to take revenge from Taichi and Yamato, searching for the boys.
Taichi is the head of the counterattack. He’s pretty responsible and mature here, following his development from Adv-to-02. Daisuke, however, is still silly and innocent wanting to help Taichi but gets himself down by his beloved role model who tells him to stay and prevent the Kuramon from get spread in Tokyo.
The oddities of this movie are definitely Daisuke being somehow polite with Koushiro and Joe -- the latter even is called by “senpai” so I believe this is just Daisuke growing up and changing little by little. The 02 Jogress pairs were separated around Tokyo catching Kuramon and sending them back to Koushiro’s computer. As things look like easy... The Chosen Children get into troubles through the movie.
Omegamon vs Diablomon here is cool, also Takeru and Hikari aiding their siblings is one of the coolest scenes in the movie -- Like I said, EVERYONE helps. No matter if gets a bigger or smaller task, everyone helps in this movie.
But what shines brighter in this movie is the 02 trio -- Daisuke-MIyako-Iori. I would say Ken too, but all he did was somehow minimal while these three were the stars of the movie: Daisuke’s plan to gather all the Kuramon swarm away from the city so the could fight caught me off guard in the very first times I watched this movie. He messed things up yeah, but he also quickly finds a solution. I say to pay attention at the scenes and how he’s able to answer Ken’s “why the Rainbow Bridge” question.
Miyako’s very much the badass here, she can HACK things. Very much. She follows Daisuke’s orders for the plan and then she and Iori meet to the fight. Daisuke and Ken get their own problem which is the Kuramon swarm carrying V-mon and Wormmon with them, so they have to go there by themselves lol.
Iori saves the day, by giving the idea of using the phones to send all the Kuramon to Koushiro, showing why he deserved the Digimental of Knowledge.
About the others, they help too. EVERYONE HELPS IN THIS MOVIE. Koushiro supervises the operation, the Kuramon counter, etc.
Taichi and Yamato help destroying the original Diablomon, with the help of Takeru and Hikari.
Joe gets late but helps to provide the bikes to let Daisuke and Ken go faster to the Rainbow Bridge. Also, he grabs a “possible” girlfriend (lol)
Sora also gets late into the action, but she helps by giving emotional support to Taichi and Yamato, when they had lost hope.
And Mimi gets late as well, but she assists Koushiro in the computer room.
LIKE, THE BEST OF THE BEST!
This movie has my favorite Daisuke line. Has Ken enabling Daisuke’s determination via sass. Has Target playing as insert song when Imperialdramon rises and flies over a very much sad Taichi. Has very much ship teases. And some easter eggs in the end of the movie -- ringtones playing Buttler-Fly and I Wish, the OG Adventure series’ OP & ED respectively.
GOSH, THAT WAS MORE LIKE A FREAKING REVIEW HUH??
Please, watch this movie I beg to you. The dub version of it is also good, I like it. However, I’m talking about the original version here oops.
