Digimon Xros Wars Ep12 Liveblog

Forget about war — here in the Sand Zone, the only thing that matters is treasure hunting! So, Xros Heart becomes a team of treasure hunters trying to find the treasure said to be found in the depths of the Sand Zone.

Jijimon is here again with another lore dump! once upon a time, the Digital World was interconnected and the zones were one, but then something happened and the big Code Crown that controlled all of the Digital World split into a bunch of small Code Crowns and the Digital World split up into the zones we see today. also, Digimon can’t maintain their form while traveling between zones, which again brings into question how Dorulumon and Cutemon were traveling.

oh, this is that place full of angelic Digimon where that bandage mercenary mon does something, isn’t it? so they’ll probably stay here a little longer than usual?

Blastmon is vain and likes to eat gemstones to maintain his luster, like he’s some kind of Sableye (wonder if they could have both been based off a similar thing?). he’s so vain that he tells his minions to clean him off instead of chasing after team Xros Heart.

and now Revolmon is here, and everyone’s back to focusing on treasure hunting

and Taiki does it again, successfully guessing that there was a river in that pit because he could smell the water

hmm. Revolvmon definitely dropped those bullets on purpose... so, Revolvmon probably isn’t trustworthy, or at least has some ulterior motives.

and now Revolvmon is in a secret door while the others have to run away from the boulder 🤔. could Revolvmon be testing their puzzle-solving skills?

oh, ok, so the DigiMemories do recharge eventually. they actually recharge really quickly, every time the team switches zones, if Revolvmon is to be believed.

even though Revolvmon’s entire torso is a gun, he has to use a handgun to stick-up the team. i think that if I had a gun torso but had to use a handgun i would have an existential crisis.

well Pharomon is definitely trying to test Taiki, asking him if he fights for darkness or light

ah, I see — this is one of those tests where the right answer is to not fight, but Revolmon planted the idea that he’d have to fight in Taiki’s head. but was this intentional, or does Revolmon want the treasure that bad?

it was the former! Revolmon and Pharomon are friends, and they were both working to test Taiki and the rest of Xros Heart. now they get the Code Crown (that was fast) and some more DigiMemories. they have either seven or eight now (I think Shoutmon said they had 7 but it looked like Revolmon handed over 3 new ones? which would make 8? i just saw this a minute ago and I already forgot ...), which is back to being a lot of DigiMemories since they recharge.

Nene’s spy network is working like a charm, and Jetmon (is that her name?) is giving Blastmon a thrashing. I wonder if she’ll try and make a grab at the Code Crown now that she’s officially decided not to work with Taiki?
