Finally nice to start seeing something other than the expected combo save the day (even though it was a pretty short sequence, they still got *something* at least). The episode went by in a flash and it didn't seem to cover any major new ground but it seemed fine overall. Next week's a return to the hot springs, a familiar mon and a very unfamiliar mon, this is only the 2nd time Kabukimon's been animated iirc? Unfortunately, that makes it seem like an even more likely event that Tailmon's going to take the spotlight in what would seem like a Gomamon specific episode.

Adventure 20 Episode 52: well that was a limp nothing of an episode. Like, I am struggling but that may be the least impressive debut of an Ultimate Digimon to date in the franchise. Can someone tell me why at the very least Hououmon didn't kill a Volcanicdramon or something? I was absolutely certain something would come out of the volcano for her to fight until about the 15 minute mark when I realized that from the pacing of the episode it was seriously just just going to be a natural disaster. They were definitely trying with Hououmon, but the fact that everyone was literally out of danger by the time she appeared completely cut the legs out from under her debut. Now I point out Sakuyamon also didn't fight anyone when she first appeared, but by contrast Renamon evolved in a do or die situation and was actually able to do something against the big scary threat that the four gods had constantly been talking up. Also, Ruki had been a much more consistently written and present character than Sora has been in Adventure 20. Also also, her evolving was after two consecutive episodes of Ruki wanting to try and evolve to Ultimate and not being able to for various reasons so this was finally payoff for something established. I'm not surprised Piyomon could evolve to Ultimate, they established a long time ago that anyone of the cast could hit that level of they go hard enough, maybe even from day one. I just wish the show had like, I don't know, done something to make it seem important. Just because it isn't necessarily special or unique doesn't mean that you shouldn't TREAT IT like it was special or unique. Remember how in Tri and beyond it seemed like someone in Toei absolutely hated Sora? That thought kind of popped in to my mind while I was watching the episode and realizing how little there actually was in it. Also, am I wrong or have they not basically done exactly this episode at least twice before in previous media? I know the show is trading entirely on nostalgia at this point, but prior to now Adventure 20 had at least avoided doing literal retreads of previous episodes.

someone over on /a/ did some math on how huge both forms of Millenniummon are(as we an approximate height for WarGreymon for comparison) and then extrapolated from that how huge the Digital World would be, and well the scale is absolutely ridiculous even by anime standards; TLDR is that on the conservative end Zeed is larger than the Earth, on the extreme end Zeed is bigger than Jupiter, while the Digital World is either somewhat bigger than Jupiter or is many times bigger than the Sun

WarGreymon and BlitzGreymon had worse debuts in this very series than Hououmon did. At least Hououmon felt deserved and did something neat, unlike those two that evolved because we gotta push merchandise and the latter didn't even get a well-animated fight. I'm also glad Hououmon fights no one. I'm sick of this series introducing new Digimon with no personality every episode just so we can have a fight every. Single. Episode. That that didn't happen alone makes me have a lot more respect for this episode than I do for most of Adventure:. It had an unique conflict for the episode, had the human and Digimon in focus have an actual dynamic (which even the original Adventure was terrible at) even if it was taken straight from Adventure, and hey, Junkmon was a nice character of the week. Sorry, I just don't agree with your post at all. This episode was good and the best thing Sora has gotten since the original Adventure, and honestly, probably ever.

Damning with faint praise, are we? While it's arguably true this is the best she's gotten since 99 (I liked Garudamon's debut in this show better than Hououmon's FWIW), it's way inferior to the episodes Sora actually got about her in Adventure 99. The original Garudamon episode was basically this but better in the follow-on episode back and Tokyo did more with her consistently than 20 has done with her. Even the short period she was in the lead running away from Piemon gave her more what I would say is "character" than this episode. I'll say sorry myself because, this one felt really stock and pretty weak. And I'm on record stating that WarGreymon's debut in the series was let down by the rest of the show around it and not itself. Reshuffle some of the events of the previous episodes and it would be an all timer with basically no changes. Hououmon here, meanwhile, would require essentially an entirely new draft of the episode to be functional. It was genuinely an unimpressive showing. You have a point with Blitz Greymon at least, though we are even money he won't ever be appearing in the series again except maybe if they finally cash in and bring Omegamon Alter-S. womb with a view posted:When Koushirou analysed the data in Adventure the real world and the digital world overlapped perfectly!! Yes, in Adventure 99. Despite some far left field theories this is a different show with a different Digital World with probably a different structure and quite possibly a different size. Alternately scale got borked and nobody really cared necessarily how large the world would have to be in comparison and they just wanted a shot of Ziyd Millenniumon being unfathomably huge.

I've said it before, but Wargreymon's debut would have worked a hell of a lot better if they did it during the part where Hikari was almost consumed by the darkness and had Taichi scrambling to save her. It's got better emotional stakes and a more dramatic reason to debut the form.

My guess is that when Survive was initially announced they probably had barely even gotten anywhere in development, and not long after we get COVID so it's development has probably been a complete mess moving at a glacial pace and the real reason we've seen basically nothing since the original announcements is that they still haven't really gotten anywhere near enough of anything worth showing done, especially since it's probably near the bottom of Bandai's priorities concerning game development So I doubt it's going to get canceled but my assumptions are it's either going to get quietly released in a barely finished form sometime in the fall, or they're going to just keep it hushed up till it's properly finished sometime in the next year or two

It was supposed to come out in 2019 in time for Digimon's 20th anniversary, but got pushed back to 2020, then to 2021 because of COVID. Even before the pandemic information on it was always slow to come out and infuriatingly sparse, to the point where it took like two years to even reveal the entire main cast. It's always been a quasi-meme that Digimon Survive is just some fake phantom vaporware project that will never really come out and Bandai is just too stubborn to tell the world it's actually been cancelled for a long time now. If it skipped E3 after three years in development hell there's no loving way it's coming out this year.

Instead of talking about a game that doesn't exist, let me talk for a moment a game that does. Project Digimon is a fangame meant to serve as a sequel/modernization of Digimon Rumble Arena (Rumble Arena 2 is actually an entirely separate game that got renamed that in the west for marketing purpouses). I've talked about it before, I mostly bring it up again because it got updated to v0.6 on Friday, which added Hawkmon (Valkyrimon), Armadimon (SlashAngemon) and PicoDevimon (BelialVamdemon) to the game, as well as the 02 route, thus completing the 02 roster, and it still has more to go. As of now, this game has 62 playable Digimon, which is insane for a fighting game, and several costumes are different Digimon themselves if you want to count those (for instance, Tsukaimon is one of Patamon's costumes, and evolves into BlackSeraphimon). I made a list of all of the playable Digimon because I have nothing but respect for this game and I feel people should try it out:
Okay, back to moping about how Survive doesn't exist.

What exactly are the mutants? Also, how do the double Digivolutions work? I notice Gatomon and Beelzemon have them, along with some Digimon having two Digivolution options.

Mutants are essentially just a slight variation on the recolors the franchise has always had, they're generally treated as the same species(unlike say for example Gabumon and Psychemon) though sometimes they have slightly different stats or attacks and sometimes behave a bit differently

Mutant Digimon are Digimon that were affected by Volcanicdramon's power in Linkz. There's a list in Wikimon, which is the only reason they know about it because I sure as hell am not playing any of the Digimon gacha. About the double evolutions, let me explain these separately since we have two things here:

Opened my box of Great Legend. The SEC card I got was AncientGarurumon (probably the worst of the SEC cards, the best being Lucemon) but I got an alt art yellow WarGreymon card which is the best card in the BT4 meta, three BushiAgumon (one of very few cards to have Rush) and a number of D-Brigade cards so I’m pretty pleased
