Digimon Adventure Reboot ep 7

thoughts and stuff below a complimentary spoiler cut

-Mimi continues her reign in the very first shot of the episode

- Were they just going to leave Mimi behind? ��Was Birdramon going to make 3 trips (there-back-there)?

- For that note, why is sora only now concerned about being heavy, you do this all the time Sora.

- maybe less now that she actually fell off in a fight.

- did jou make that hut?  Did Gomamon?  Neither seem all that cut out for it.

- between opening Mimi and their reaction to jou we are starting to feel more differentiation and conflict between characters.

- I tried google-mapsing Musako and got nothing, is it a real location?

- Jou’s “rivals and doctors” speech feels a little heavy handed.  Not sure I like.

- the idea of Jou resisting the call was nice, but like, why would he think he has a better chance of being rescued where he is, rather than by the god Digimon?

-  of course he secretly cares about gomamon, big tsunder him.

- palmon get’s an evolution sequence, real quick, it works.  Birdramon crying in the corner again.

- one of the issues with having Greymon annihilate 3 dokugamon and oneshot 2 tuskmon:  Gesomon tanking repeated fire blasts here (after a direct hit from togemon) feels like intentionally jobbing to give reason for ikkakumon to need to do something.

- I did enjoy the pre-evolution moment for goma-jou

- Harpoon Vulcan has great utility with that stab-seeking combo and I often forget it.

- I don’t think I liked this episode as much as the last few, not entirely sure why.

-Ikkakumon is a good boy.

Digimon Adventure Rewatch Episode 7

Ah, sudden cgi gears! Digimon likes to use very conspicuous cgi sometimes, although not too much that it gets annoying. Jyou kinda varies between being responsible, and complaining, sometimes he's right, but sometimes he just needs to lighten up. He has a tendency to bring the group down when they're cheerful as well. We also see the beginning of Mimi's weird taste in food. That girl has messed up taste buds... I reckon Jyou and Gomamon really do have the most interesting digimon/human relationship, and Gomamon probably has the most character development among the digimon. How come the black gear only goes halfway into Unimons back? Is it just so Jyou has a reason to try and get involved? :p Harpoon Vulcan is just a really cool attack, probably the most interesting of the Adult attacks. I love it when the digimon tease each other :p

Chapter 6-11

Natsumi: Wha...?

???: Look out!!

Chifuyu: Nat-chan!! Are you alright!? Man...I really can't leave you alone for a second, huh? Get behind me!

Natsumi: F-Fuyu-chan! And...Dedemon, you're here!? But you're hurt!

Dedemon: I-I couldn't stand by and do nothing when you could be in danger, Natsumi!

Haruka: That Digimon that protected us...don't tell me?

Polarmon: Chifuyu... I'll take down the enemy and protect all of you. Then you'll tell me what troubles you, won't you?

Chifuyu: Polarmon... I...

Pangorumon: That's Polarmon, the evolved form of Huskimon.

Haruka: Pangorumon! You're here too- Wait...did you seriously drag Akihiro and Dedemon out into the snow!?

Zemimon: We didn't drag Akihiro anywhere, he can move of his own accord-

Akihiro: *pant* *pant* I-I'm sorry, Haruka-san... I know you told me to stay indoors, but...

Pangorumon: Either way, he's safer here where we can see him. As for the enemy... That's Ikkakumon, an Adult-level Digimon. I believe Polarmon should be strong enough to handle it alone.

Ikkakumon: GRRRRR...

Polarmon: Not done? You and the other hostile Digimon have only brought Chifuyu misery... I will see that you taste that same misery a hundred fold!!

Ikkakumon: HARPOON VULCAN!!

Polarmon: Hmph... There won't be a shred of you left when I'm done here.

Natsumi: !! No, not this again...

Dedemon: Natsumi! It's dangerous!!

Chifuyu: Nat-chan, stand back!!

Natsumi: Please, STOP!!!
