Digimon: The Xtreme Review (Digimon Tamers)

But Digimon Tamers today's topic is arguably my favorite one of all Because it's like you know how with Digimon Adventure 1 and 2 , they kind of sort of dipped their toes in dark themes .

But Digimon Tamers took that to a whole new level , like , especially the way that at first , because of course there's going to be like a few more people becoming DigiDestined or Digimon Tamers , whatever they're going to call themselves in this part of the story but it starts off with three kind of like power rangers ninja storm or , uh , power rangers dino thunder ,

where it starts off with three and then there's more coming along later .

But I like the way that with the tamers and the partners , their characters are more fleshed out in this once where , you know , in the first two it just kind of seemed like they were just boiled down to archetypes , like they were enough to be a character but not enough character , if that makes sense .

Uh , but in Digimon Tamers it's like , yeah , they gave each of these characters enough personality to where they stand on their own and they matter to the grand scheme of things . But uh , that's pretty much my generalization of this one before we get really deep into it . Kokugasu , how you feeling about Digimon Tamers as a whole ?

But also on the fact that by having just three , you had the opportunity of you had the opportunity of , not going to say , more character development , but getting a chance to really see and feel the character development .

It's not that we didn't have it from the other ones , it's just the fact that every single time we started getting character development for the other characters , because there were so many of them , you could easily mistake it for filler .

Like it felt like it was just nothing but filler until they got back to the main battle and it's like no , no , this is part of the story . It's important to have these developments , but it was like there was so many characters to focus on .

I would even compare that to naruto right now where , like going back and rewatching with my wife and some scenes , she's like , hey , so what's happening here ? And I'm like she's like I don't remember this and I'm like , oh shit , I don't remember it either , like I'm a little confused .

But then it's like , oh , all these were filler art , because they don't focus so much on the main story , where it's like , oh , each of these is like was the Sasuke retrieval , and it's like various different arcs that happen between there , because it's like , oh well , let's try to find this way and see if it might help us get Sasuke back .

Let's try this way and every single way fails , so it doesn't actually progress the story and it makes you feel like , oh , we're getting some character progression and then we don't like these characters just gone , like we don't see them again after that , and you're like , okay , well , never mind then um so it felt like that with digimon for the previous digimon

um the previous two seasons , because it's like maybe we have , you know , too many characters and I'm happy that if they actually did keep that trope of having fewer characters than like seven or eight , like the next season , we wound up getting like five . So it's like keeping it smaller . That's so much to focus on well , hold on .

Well , not in order exactly , but I'm just trying to list them up as based on what I remember uh , jerry rio , uh , friend a and b I'm sorry , I know , actually know the name akinta and kazu , because you know they kind of feel like a friend a and b type characters .

It's like they don't get much in some , it's okay at least until later on , to where they finally get there . Did you buy someone ? Okay , cool , cool , cool . The one girl , alice with Doberman , so Susie's , henry's Sister , so that's like Seven right there , at least seven , but we're mainly getting a chance to focus on just the three primary .

Yeah , yeah , that's the thing . That's the thing . It's mainly focused on those three , but technically they kind of broke that You'd think that they were breaking the mold with three .

But then it was like , okay , going right back into the typical seven , eight , digidestined , but the other four don't matter that much to the grand scheme of things , compared to these three . True , except Jerry .

So we get a chance to enjoy the fleshing out Because I don't want to say we don't flesh out , we do flesh out the characters . Just we enjoy it more .

But even though a lot of people felt like I'm not really in the mood for all that shit , keep in mind , first of all , if you're a really hardcore Dragon Ball fan , you can understand that the original Dragon Ball was an action comedy to its core .

That's why , even in Dragon Ball Z , dragon Ball GT , dragon Ball Super , even though it was mostly action , it still had its goopiness , because it's still an action comedy to its core . Now , going back to Detective Hitman Reborn , it was also an action comedy to its core .

Now , going back to the detective hitman reborn , it was also an action comedy to its core . So that's why akira amano was like , okay , we'll just do an action comedy , see how that works . But then by the time they got to the kokyo gang art , then they're like , okay , let's get a bit more serious . Okay , they like it .

When it's like more serious , okay , we kind of lean more towards the series , but we'll still keep it goofy here and there , you know , with some filler arcs .

But Kodakio Hitman Reborn and I'm going to say it when I do the review it is the king of filler arcs in my personal opinion , because at least with those anime only exclusive arcs they actually matter to the fucking plot , hmm .

You have to watch it but uh , yeah , getting back to the point , with Digimon Tamers , they take their time to make you feel something for Takato , guillemon , henry with Terriamon , rika with Renamon and all the other characters , like Entmon , who's eventually going to become Beelzemon , and other folks . So , yeah , like at least with Digimon Tamers .

It allowed us to invest in these characters before it gets really crazy and dark .

. And then , of course , you know , Kulamon being the one to entice everything to be the reason for everything was the funniest thing to me on the show . Wait , who Kulamon ? Is it Kulamon or Kulamon ? The little flying imp thing , the one that's actually . That thing is spelled c-u-l-u-m-o-n . How is that calumon ?

Kalamon not being there , the Digimon were unable to Digivolve , which we did have , like one episode where Kalamon wound up getting captured and was not close enough also .

And they always blame the digital . It was like there was something wrong with the device . It's not working . It's no , because kalamon is actually the link that's needed for all that to happen . And digimon tamers also . Before we really start zoning further into it , my bet . But just because this is kind of my longest intro of it , so my apologies on that .

Um , my other things I want to mention is that keep in mind as well for people listening that this version digimon tamers does not pertain to the main story .

So even though we do , this is hilarious thing about it we get a reference back to Geomon and Renamon , we get references back to all the Digimon here um into , like , later seasons , but as far as these tamers , this right here this season does not pertain to this into the digimon timeline whatsoever .

This was their break off read uh , kind of a remake of things trying to do stuff differently , kind of what happened with like devil may cry . But we had dmc after devil may cry 4 . We had capcom's version of not cap . We had um ninja theory yeah , ninja theories version of dmc before we went back to devil may cry 5 well , hold on .

Like , for instance , how rika was just out and about and some guys was looking at her thinking like , oh , she reminds me of Kari , but edgy and you know Kari from the first and second generation . And then Takato was going to hang out with friend A and B . I'm sorry , I'm just going to make that reference for now on .

That's just I know their names but like , that's just what they feel like to me . Just friend a and b , uh , they go , he goes hang out with them .

And then , uh , friend b noticed his goggles and , by the way , that's gonna be my nickname for a ticado too , because pretty much there's always a goggle head and everyone except like maybe marcus and dad squad , but you know , other than that , there's always one person wearing goggles . So I'm just he's gonna be goggles um every now and then .

But um , basically , friend b was uh , or maybe it was friend a was just um , making a yo lee reference , and that's obviously on generation two .

So my point being is that , yeah , like you said , they are distancing themselves from the original two , uh first two generations , but it's almost like by making those references , uh , they try to make some sort of continuity with , uh , the first two generations .

Excuse me , and also I know we're kind of jumping , but I like how Takato pulled a uh tie , uh , where , essentially , uh , when we get to the part where spoilers , blah , blah , blah . But uh , point being is that Takato gets so mad at Beelzemon that he's like trying to force WarGreymon To Digivolve To this dark version Of Omega Evolution .

But you know , in tie he Did it at ultimate level , with Greymon becoming SkullGreymon . So I like how that trope pretty much Got cycled into Digimon Tamers too .

Like they do make a lot of references , you're right , there's a lot of references that make it feel like it's in , is within the continuity , but they actually did want it to be completely different per se , like almost completely different . So this whole storyline here actually takes place outside of the normal .

Now , granted , those characters technically will say that those characters will still be canon to the main timeline because again , we do see those digimon , we do see those characters in other , like in future seasons . But this storyline period is completely separate .

So they make some of those callbacks because some people might not reference that it would be Digimon . They'd be like this feels very different .

I mean yeah , but for reals though , but yeah , we do get the opportunity to get more into that . So , overall , it is one of my favorite seasons . We do get more dark edginess into things . It kind of feels great . One of my favorite things out of it is Gilmon being an original Digimon of its own .

Until we get back to the main storyline , which now you know that it's like at least 20 to 50 of the same digimon everywhere . Versus in tamers , it was more unique per se , and gilmon was the one of his kind . He was the only one , and every time he had a digivolution it was only after takato , like , drew out and designed what his digivolution would be .

Then that's when he was able to digivolve into it , which is , I find , that pretty cool

. Imagine that moment . You'd be like , oh , I created my own Digimon and I'm like I want you to digivolve , but I'm one of the lame . You see , I want you to have this , I want you to have this armor , I want you to be able to shoot rockets and boom .

There we go and it's like all right , now did you evolve into it and boom and digivolves into it as an artist , I love that .

repertoire like , oh man , you suck at all and use your support cards . And then meanwhile rika like hold on , I want to say Ash Ketchum vibes . Well , okay , no , no , if , um , if Takato was Ash Ketchum , then Rika was like fucking Paul from um , not black and white , what's it called .

Probably you know that one character that was like , oh , you don't have strong enough EVs or IVs , so you're weak . I don't deal with weaklings type shit . Uh , basically rika deals was she thought of digimon as data .

You know , like how would uh , digimon emperor and all those other evil people where they think , oh well , digimon's not real creatures , they don't really matter , but they , the whole point of digimon is that they do matter . But um , and oh , yeah , henry , I like how essentially he boiled down to being like the voice of reason , I guess .

I mean , yeah , he has his moments where he gets a little short fuse with suzy , but outside of that it's like he's supposed to be like the level-headed one out of them all . So it's more like , hey , guys , like let's be rational about this . You know , barrica's more like the lone wolf , um type that , just you know , does her own thing .

Tocato's like the green horn , so it just makes sense for henry to be like the middle man , to where I'm like all right , guys , like we got a word together , we're gonna do this this is true .

Like uh , y'all starting to add , like uh , remind me of my sister in the worst way right now . So like , can we like just chill and like strategize real quick ? Like we can't just be rushing out and getting into trouble and then we just getting making things worse . So you know , let's just chill out you know .

Um , and of course , if you watch digimon , try you know , same thing that way too is that he focuses so much on he has , like , I have a life , I don't want to be doing this all the time . And even Terri Amon . I like Terri Amon for the fact that he's so calm with it . He's like , yeah , I mean to be honest with you , he's just kind of chill .

Like that he don't really be wanting to engage in fights . I would like like to be in fights . I mean , terry Amon to me was I love Gilmon Gilmon's my favorite base evolution , but I'm talking about champion level evolution brand Like absolutely fucking love Terry Amon when the other boy pulls out the double Gatling guns , nah .

Gallantmon is lit , yeah , but um , it's almost like the Geomon route . It feels like kind of like Pokemon , like okay , it's like a little toned down for the most part , I mean , I guess for a lot of Digimon too . But I'm just saying it just feels like it's not that crazy with Geomon up until you get to Galamon . I was like , oh , okay , okay .

Then you have Rapidmon . Okay , rapidmon is a cool design . I'm not going to go on for a fucking lot . It was decent . And Talmon , I meanmon's a cool design .

It never happened in the series from that from adventure , it only happened in the movie where um Ty and TK were like it was actually like really not TK , sorry , we're able to actually like merge into there it's all there is .

Because we did get a chance to see they did have an episode where I think it was it was . It was that was was it was .

That was the episode where the Cato actually wasn't working with him or isn't working with Gilmore at the time , because their brains kind of revert back to like their first evolutionary form and literally to Cato just was not in agreement and it didn't work out and they wound up like devolving and separating back again .

So it was like you have to really work together . You have to be able to have that name in the same mind , but just have a full agreement of what it is that you're going to do .

That's just like you know , you really gotta work together and that's helps with that development . Like it's different saying like pokemon , you know , hey , pikachu , do this attack , or you know whatever pokemon , just like do this attack , type of thing .

You're telling them and they just do it , they just follow your direction , versus now you're like in it and it's different , feeling that . And it's wonderful that the humans get a chance , our human characters can feel that difference because it's like , oh , you know , we feel the attack .

Whenever a digimon get hurt , we're like , oh , we feel the attack , but it's different . In that real time you're still standing back watching it happen . Right , real time makes a difference , watching combat and being in combat very different . So it's like you really gotta understand that .

Now , with I'm gonna , I'm gonna be real with y'all as far as like basketball , football , baseball , all that shit . Um , they're cool and all I like playing in them , like you know , just for fun . Watching them doesn't really excite me that much .

I mean , I get it if you're like in the actual game , but watching it from the sidelines doesn't really do anything for me .

I'm like , okay , okay , I see y'all now . So if it's animated , you're down with almost anything , yeah pretty much If you can animatify or gamify it for me .

You know NBA Street Volume 2 , I'm probably forgetting the name , but , man , they made basketball so much fun somehow with the fucking special moves and shit . Like bro , you got to like .

Well , he's like here , come in , come in . I got two buns who said what are you ? What are you right now ? Idiot sandwich , an idiot , fucking sandwich . I'm like just the name people , I don't . I mean . Apparently his matt , his uh train , his teacher , was way worse to him than he's been , that's how it is how it is .

Because he is the whole slack of the fact that he's considered a sadistic dm and being having been in the campaign with him a little bit , I can see that . Um , so it's like , what really got you into that ? Like , why are you so like ? You're not , you are kind of easy going but you're still kind of rude . Why are you kind of like that type of thing ?

And he's like , oh , because apparently his dm was absolutely devastating to him and gave him none , what's , no cares whatsoever , he just had to deal with it . And I'm like , yeah , be worse . And you kind of just take on today that anyway .

But going back into tamers , but yes , pretty much main thing is it's very different being in combat and just watching it . It's very different . And so we get all of our literally all of our characters get understanding . None gets as big as henry .

Henry master , he had himself , because rika definitely was just like oh , I know how to master my cars and how to do this , but she , she had a very good relation . When it came down to renamon , however , rika very different . Uh . However , henry was very different , henry . He prided himself too much every single time that he wound up losing a fight .

When he wound up getting a fusion digivolve is literally always ended . The same thing was in the fact that he was like oh , I know exactly what I'm going to do , and because he strategized , he failed at adapting , he sucked at adapting , and so it was like he .

But sometimes , because you know , uh , rika had that arch where she just thought that digimon was just data , sometimes she just come out like kind of rude to renamon , to where , like , just treat her like , oh , you're just a tool and uh , to one point I think they , like uh , had like a fight , they just broke up and it happened twice , but on different um

occasions okay , yeah , yeah so yeah , oh yeah , yeah , like when they actually work together it's fantastic .

Well , think about , in this aspect here she's one of those ones , that she was one of those rich girls , and this is one something that I will at least say I can attest having known some rich people obviously I'm not , I didn't live this lifestyle but having known some people , you really need to listen to my madam web review because this uh remind me of this

one girl that was in that movie , where he just kind of remind me of her to a extent to where she just remind me of rika .

She was considered just not even a problem child , but she was just in the background , was unnecessary , not needed , and she always felt worthless and the parents would just throw her money . That was it . They just throw her money , she . So she had nothing to do , nothing to attest for . She always felt unimportant .

So to her she put that frustration out onto Renamon . You know she felt unimportant , she felt useless . So she's like you are also useless too . You know what ? I'm useless , you're useless , we're all useless . It's just whatever type of thing . It sucks . It sucks when you have to really let out the anger and it's one of those things like therapy's needed .

Shout out to callie , so um , but therapy's needed . So most definitely , reach out , don't be afraid to ask for help . Everybody does their own things . Just reach out , ask for help . But yeah , it's like understanding her upbringing and renamon understood this .

She's even said herself she's like I've , like I've been with her the longest Renamon had been with Rika the longest Longer than Henry had his Digimon and Takato had his Digimon Like way longer . Yeah , so yeah .

Uh , eventually takata meets up with henry and rika and essentially they try to deal with um digimon that leaks into the real world .

By the way , I like how , unlike the first two , where , okay , in the first one it mainly took place in the digital world and then they went back into the real world , even though the first movie kind of said like , okay , digimon did show up in the real world , but the plot usually was in the digital world at first .

With the first generation , second generation , it was more like a blend of real world and digital world , but it was more like , okay , um , there's a problem going on in the digital world or there's a problem that's happening in the real world , that's um being um caused by something that happened in the digital world .

So it kind of give you that megaman , uh , battle network , nt warrior vibes where it's like whatever happens on the internet is probably affected something in real life . So essentially the digidexans go into the digital world to figure out what the hell the problem is this time , neutralize it , go back home and you know nothing to do till it's something new .

But in this one it happened mostly in the real world and by now digimon became so normalized . Even a little kid who noticed geomon or uh , some other digimon out in the wild and was like hey , look a digimon . I was like digimon is common knowledge to a point , but obviously with the cars and the uh tv show .

But real , live digimon , like in the flesh , and they're just like oh well , you know , they're not that surprised . You know , at this point it's just so commonplace now you know , just no need for alarms . It's like this is normal at this point it's like Godzilla fighting some kaiju once per week . I'm like , eh well , you know .

No , no , I'm never just going to get over this . It's like oh , it's just a Digimon . No , no , no , no , that's dangerous , that's dangerous . Damn , I love Digimon . At the same time , it's crazy , absolutely insane .

what I mean . And as well , digimon began roaming on shinjuku . The team would defeat them , defend the city and whatnot . I like how erika uh , she had this thing to where she decided , oh , the smart thing to do is just assimilate their data to become stronger and whatnot .

But once she realized that with digital illusion , it's like oh well , you know , we don't really need to assimilate data anymore . We're pretty much fine as long as we work together . So that's pretty much her development . But , um , as I was saying , so , using her D powers , tamers can Digivolution modify . That's what their version of . Digivolution is yeah like .

Can I mention that this has the most painful Spotify .

You're like the fuck , bro , this looks so , looks , so painful . God damn , it looks painful as hell .

Otherwise , it just like hit this big form of light and then they're just shapeshifted into it . No , it's Montamers , rip your skin off .

And then you just see , like the tamers just like purge into it , just get purged into it , like uh , uh , I'm getting sucked in like a black void , and just get sucked in . I promise you , none of it looks entertaining whatsoever . It looks crazy . It looks super cool when you're watching it .

That's one of the things I'm like I don't know if I want to experience that shit , bro . I don't know , that looks painful as shit . Some .

I don't know , yeah , oh funny how I made a megaman um battle network reference to where , when you think about it with digimonifying , to where they use different cards to give uh digimon these different powers that you normally don't see other digimon using , or at least in other uh series you don't normally see this happening all that that much .

So it's almost Like kind of like Ben 10 Omniverse to a degree , to where you Get different Weapons and what not alongside Of the main Alien that Ben is using .

But my point being is that it kind of Reminds me of Mega man Battle Network because of the way you have to scan Cards , but in that show it's more like battle chips and it can help them digivolve and all the other shit . And I'm like bro , like not to say not to play the whole copycat game , but like they're both great on their own .

But I'm just like I just now realized the similarities there .

. My man E-readers from Game Boy Advance you don't remember what a creator is . When you put it in and you had the card and you swiped the card and it scanned your video game and you swiped the card . You can modify your character in the game .

That's why that shit's popular Even then , because it's still used now , which is funny because that's when it really started . But it's still used now for like uh , what was it ? Uh dang , uh , dragon ball legends um uses it . There's like various different games in japan that does that .

Where you go buy these little cars , like for us here in america , it's like oh , I have these car collectibles , I have these pokemon cars , yukio cars .

In japan , they don't have just that , they have also the fucking game modifier cards where you go to a fucking arcade and you go , buy you these cards and you have to swipe these cards in order for you to upgrade your characters or to play you know what I'm gonna get , like credit and debit cards that look like fucking battle chips and these blue cards from

digimon tamers .

So if your shit got ripped and bent up , you couldn't use it no more and that shit was gone . And then on top of that , sometimes it's like some games if you wanted to play some games , all you needed was just one card .

You just swipe one side , swipe the other and then boom , it automatically read and , like pretty much , the e-reader created the game based off of the code on their cards . But then some games were so complicated that you literally had to have like four or five cars in order to play .

So if you went to go buy those cars and you did not have all those cards , you couldn't play the game . So that's the reason why it was not that popular anymore , because they it was very limited in how much code they could put on the card at the time .

Nowadays you can , they could put a fuck ton of code onto that shit , but during that time period they were not able to do so .

1980s Gamer , I think that's what his tag is and he literally just talks about all the old school games and shit . And he talks about the newer games , older games , shit like that . And I was just watching a video of him talking about , like hey , video games just keep getting smaller and smaller . Soon they'll be the size of cards .

And it was like they already were . What are you talking about ? The e-reader ? And then swiped the card . I was like , oh shit , I forgot about this and I was mad . I was mad because I did . I wound up taking my cars to school one day and I fucked up and left my cars out and somebody stole one of my cars . That's made me mad .

If you gonna steal , at least steal all of them . You stole one motherfucking car so I couldn't even play it anymore . So damn mad , damn it bro .

I only drew two pictures in it and they stole the whole sketchbook and I'm like , oh , y'all suck , y'all really suck , I hate y'all I'm sorry .

I was always so angry about it .

We got this intelligence agency called Hypnos , which is funny because I keep thinking of Hypno from fucking Pokemon , where , led by Yamaki , the blonde dude that's mainly wearing the glasses , bro , he kind of reminds me of like so many different characters from different anime .

Like he felt like a mix of fucking Shijuo from Durarara , but almost like with the voice of Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist , also with Shade . That didn't help either . So I was getting a weird vibe of those two characters from this guy , you know , like mysterious dude with kind of a cool voice . That's kind of in cool voice .

There's no in-between .

anyway . So eventually the Tamers began working with Hypnos when the Devas started to invade the real world .

And I liked how , with the Devas , they were pretty much derived from the Chinese Zodiac , you know the 12 animals and you had , uh , fucking , the monkey , the ox , we had a rabbit , others I'm sorry if I'm forgetting , I'm forgetting something , but essentially there were like 12 davibas and they were showing up and there was like this weird creepy owl that was like

telling the Daibas to , and it's like that's what makes me feel like damn , like Tamer just got kind of dark on us , like Digimon just got a little dark on us .

But now that we can pretty much Okay , they kinda like the dark Themes mixed in . So , okay , let's kinda double down on this one .

The Tamers got to fall into the digital world to save him and during their journey , that's when they meet Ryo and his partner , sarvajramon , and Impmon then turns his back on the Tamers when he encounters the dog Daedra Katuramon . And Impmon wants to become strong and that's how he Encounters the dog Deva Katuraman .

And you know , imman wants to become strong and that's how he became Beelzemon . Eventually , the tamers Confront Beelzemon .

But in this one , this was a precursor to how it got really dark in Digimon Team , because Leomon turned out to be Jerry's partner and Jerry was cool even though you know like cool with being on DigiDestined and she was like oh well , you know I'm not brave like you , Leomon . I was like oh , don't worry , jerry , you have the courage of a lion , believe it .

And eventually , uh , now we get back to , uh , beelzemon . Beelzemon kills leomon , causing jerry to go into depression , which we're gonna explain further on , but pretty much while that happened . Then , uh , takata was like you made my crush cry . Now you must die , geomon , kill him , digivolve into mega . I need you to do it now and then .

You know that's why I was saying that whole thing with ties . We're trying to force your digimon to digivolve to get revenge on this one digimon and um it geomon . Well , more , groundman was digivolve to this , um , dark version of his mega form . I forgot his name .

I'm sorry if I forgot , but eventually in the same fight it was like okay , I realized my wrong and let's scale it back . I'm sorry , gilman , we'll work together . And that's how they achieved Gallantmon to fight against fucking Beelzemon and I like how it was sort of just . It was like this beam from his fucking shield .

That was like the coolest shit at the time . And Eventually Beelzemon was defeated . But , and also After resolving the conflicts with the Digimon sovereigns to deal with the whole shit , the Tamers learn that the Digimon are now protecting themselves from humans and the real world after the DigiWorld gets invaded by the D-Reaper . That's broke cleanup program .

Now , before I go any further and get into the whole D-Reaper art because that was like the main beating potato for me uh , koki , you had anything to add on actually , no , not really like .

I like how we got a really great reference back into gatomon , where all of a sudden you realize the fact that , even though it seems like a very small creature , that this is actually a champion version , then all of a sudden they get a digivolve and they become this super cool epic character and all of a sudden they have a big fucking problem .

Like this dude was so fucking tiny and everyone was like , oh , why is he such an issue ? Oh , he's actually in his champion form

. And I sat here and I'm like y'all really had to pull the same thing . Y'all did the bullshit y'all did with Gatsaman , didn't you ? Gatsaman is like all of a sudden , oh , I'm in champion form , but you're so fucking small and your strength is nowhere near what most other champion levels are . You got the short end of the stick .

You got the short end of the stick here . Oh , just evolve into ultimate and all of a sudden , oh you , a motherfucking problem now . Now , what's a big issue ? Having to take care of you . Just , I just don't understand it . That's the only thing I really have into that it's just . It was hilarious . And also again , bill's mom was a fire ass design .

They , the person who designed that , knew american bikers and was like you know what I like bikers and was like you know what I like bikers I like biker games in America . That's just how I like biking . But I like the design and how they carry themselves and shit . And I'm going to put this motherfucker Matter of fact .

I'm going to go ahead and make a Hellsing reference . That motherfucker had them damn big-ass , fucking double guns , them big-ass twin guns , fucking cannons . And we learned this thing from Team Four Star Bitches , love cannons . Anyway , sorry , had to make that Go ahead . See myself out . Oh no , I think the joke was too strong .

I think JB passed out from laughing too hard .

So now we got the D-Reapers , they are trying to uh clean up the real world and now , so the Tamers return to the real world , uh , the D-Reaper uh kidnaps Jerry . Uh , the d reaper uh kidnapped jerry because it was like feeding on it to uh her depression of losing leomond , manipulating and trapping her inside the body .

So it was like basically had her locked up in prison in this uh barrier and just keep her safe , so that way her depression can feed it even further .

And I'm just like bro , like that's like dark shit , because first of all it sounds silly , but then you're thinking of , okay , you're basically trying to use a young girl to imagine , like you know , because deep down , even though jerry tries to uh hide it , you know , especially with the puppet she got , like basically she doesn't have the best relationship with her

parents either . So it's like she has some dark thoughts underneath that smile . But another thing that I like about well , what made Digimon Tamers ?

I like how in canon they said that the main reason why children are typically DigiDestined is because for two reasons One , because of their imagination and two , because , unlike adults , children would accept them a lot easier . And that makes it more .

It makes more sense for passive jerry , because with jerry , uh , her depression her being so young is more like her depression got , uh , magnified by the idea of , oh man , everything sucks . Now I just wish everyone , I wish I was just dead , I wish everyone was dead and blah , blah .

Well , even though she wasn't really saying or thinking all that , but her depression was so deep it was almost like , yes , yes , this is what I need . Like , okay , this , this girl is inspiring me to eradicate everything .

But to be honest , I feel like once or twice to where Okay , I remember now because the final fight with the first generation of DigiDestined , where they pretty much had to battle Depression in order to beat Malamiotismon , excuse me , pretty much had to battle depression in order to be , uh , my , my , my , my , my , my oldest mom , excuse me .

And then the second generation had to go up against apoclymon , which was like a combination of debbie mom , my oldest mom , blah , blah , blah , and then it was basically like apathy and whatnot , and then , yeah , like , so essentially it's always like this final boss that's feeding off negative emotions .

So pretty much , if you can say that for the D-Reaper , you can also say the same thing for pretty much all the final bosses of the first three series so far . They're all pretty much the mentors feeding off children's negative emotions .

Oh , sorry , I probably shouldn't say that I just platformed PDF . Sorry , I probably shouldn't say that , just platform PDF files . But you know situation here . That's why we don't like PDF files , because you know you destroy children . You're the final boss . You're the one that everybody Is going to go after . Nobody likes you , no matter where you go .

I just don't like how we grow up to where , essentially , you know how , uh , kids in school have different ways of learning and some kids are more creative than academic wise . You know like , um , not everybody's trying to be like a doctor or a lawyer .

Some people want to be like artists to an extent and uh the arts is not as encouraged as all those other uh , essential jobs quote , unquote um , not to say that they aren't essential , but you but they are more necessary to the grand scheme of things .

But that just kind of makes me think that it just seems like they just need you to um operate the machines and whatnot , but like it's hard to make a success based off art unless you're like really putting in the work , like and if people really like what you're doing .

So it's like it's just kind of crazy how , um , sometimes we go around and it seems like , uh , not everybody have that childlike imagination anymore . It's almost like that's why . That's why I say that um , excuse me , but I'm trying to wrap up my point .

That it's kind of why I I fucking hate it when people act like , uh oh , cartoons and animates for kids . But I'm sitting here like bro see .

This is why I can tell that you probably don't have much of an imagination , if you can say that , because if you had a very strong sense of imagination not trying to assume or anything but if you do have a strong sense of imagination , then you can understand why anime , cartoons and whatnot are as amazing as they are .

But it's almost like the art itself has just lost all of them to where I feel like maybe they are more subscribed to live action stuff , because you want to watch something that doesn't make you think too out of the box , so to speak .

It's okay to still have that imagination while still having some touch of realism . The thing about it is , yeah , if a kid sees a Digimon , they're like oh wow , they're going to be one of two things Either they're going to be very interested , it's going to be just one of those two things .

When an adult sees it , it's like immediately , like think about how our military is Aliens touch down right now . Scientists would be the ones to be like hey , we want to try to communicate . Most everyone else is like call the military , kill them . Like that's just like instantaneous .

You want to destroy what you're afraid of Humans , nature , away from what they're afraid of . But that's not just a human thing , that's an adult thing . Kids are curious . Because they're curious , they're more open minded to stuff , they're more willing to learn different things ain't it crazy how they say curiosity killed a cat .

You know , curiosity is how you grow Into a better person , because you're curious enough To go into Uncharted Territory , territory , uncharted waters to find out okay , um , can I adapt to this ? Can I adapt to that ? You know , learn different experience and whatnot .

Like that's what I'm saying is that you , I don't believe in people who think they have the whole world figure out but never left their backyard you have to experience life to be able to understand it .

Back to what I mentioned we had talked about earlier too being in combat is one thing , seeing it , it's another thing doing it yourself , because one of the biggest things and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm probably gonna wind up attacking some football fans and I'm in basketball fans I don't really care unless you have actually done the sport yourself .

I don't feel you have a right to be yelling and complaining at the fed , the players , that they wind up having a bad day .

If that was me I would have no , no , no , no , no , no , don't , don't , don't go there , don't Go and apply for the team , go and try out , go say , hey , I can do better than this person right here . I want to compete with them and take that contract , and that's another thing I'm glad you brought that up quick .

But sometimes you know , as someone who's like inspired to do something like that one day , it's like , ok , I'm taking notes of what works and what doesn't , but I'm not gonna pretend that I'm automatically better than them , but like , okay , that's some things that I , uh , can take note of .

You know , try to study that , and then just some things I need to avoid . But , um , all I'm saying is that sometimes , sometimes I just can't act like , oh , I would have definitely done better than you if I was in that position .

Like , no , no , because I just don't know that much about the topic to tell you that I know better unless I actually have the experience to back it up .

Like , say , for instance , if , when it came down to my writings , to where , okay , I can kind of sort of give my opinion because I actually do have experience writing and I'm also reading books , so I'm becoming a better writer and all the other shit , so I'm pretty much working on my stuff , um , as we speak .

But , yeah , I'm not gonna pretend like , oh , yeah , I'm definitely gonna make a better story than these manga , because everyone could , and blah , blah . Um well , that's to be seen , that's to be seen .

I gotta put in the work first this is true yeah , but um , just to pretty much wrap up the story , essentially , uh , the Tamers , beelzebub , everybody's trying to save Jerry from the D-Reapers and eventually they succeed . We can go into details if you want to , koki , but hold on . And , of course , in Digimon fashion .

Once the day is saved , both worlds restored and all that . The children gotta say goodbye to their Digimon partners . Once the day is saved , both worlds restore and all that .

The children's gotta say goodbye to their Digimon partners because they gotta go back to the digital world by the effects of the program , and the series end with Takao discovering a portal in the tunnel , so they can pretty much go to the digital world whenever they want to , they can pretty much go to the world whenever they want to .

But if you had anything to add on to that , what did you like about the D-Reaper arc ? Because I know we didn't really talk about some things in general , but I really want to see what your opinion was on the D-Reaper arc .

If calumon was never there we would never be dealing with none of this bullshit um this would be real , because when it corrupted jerry , it corrupted jerry and calumon , and that's kind of what wound up . Happening too is that the fact that , like , calabon was the trigger for everything , and so it was like and calabon kept running away from everybody .

So it's one of those things I'm like look , you're the trigger for everything , but you keep running away and you're constantly getting yourself in these situations and causing all these problems .

Bro the fuck I'm just saying Jerry was young , kyrie pretty much the young girl hero that they needed to save everything and wound up getting corrupted in the end for the ultimate

villain .

Like you already made that reference , so I mean outside of the references you already made , there wasn't much there the biggest fear of the d reapers was the fact that , like what they were , they're digital reapers they were they have the power to not just harm the digi , the digimon , the digi destined , they could literally kill them I remember that there was

this thing to where , just like with humans , the d reaper also feared the unknown , and one of those main things was death itself .

So it's like that's where it becomes a little bit more dangerous and where it becomes like , based on how things kind of go . But other other than that I really don't have much on to that . I mean , you pretty much made all the main references . It was a great lead-up , this one .

The ending was just , mostly we finally got a chance to beat the big bad and just to settle down for everyone . We're never going to see you guys again . And then the surprise , the after-credit ending where Takato finds the tunnel , the secret tunnel . At the end he's like , oh , he's able to see Gilman again . And you know , gilman , I can't do Gilman voice .

A mutual friend of ours , daisuke , he could do the Gilman voice perfectly , just like the doctor , I can't do it in this . Good , he did it like fucking fantastic . I was like , yeah , he'd be a voice actor . You need to be a fucking voice actor , Otherwise that's really all I got .

You can analyze a lot of things into this series , but for this particular season , the biggest thing to understand is that we took a dark turn on things . Things felt real and felt very heavy , but it didn't have to be so much of like oh , there's extra gray , and then there's plot B , plot C , plot D plot .

It didn't have to be so much of like oh , there's extra gray , and then there's plot b , plot c , plot d plot . It didn't have to do all that . We kept a very straightforward story . We followed the characters , everyone's characters meshed together at some point and then boom , that's where we're at yeah , it's like it's eventually .

Oh yeah , don't forget about the day While Digimon was showing up in the real world and that kind of licked into the digital world . Part 2 they meet Azulonmon and Zukimon you know the Phoenix Digimon and essentially they're trying to forecast that the D Reaver program Is going to reactivate and try to eradicate , um , everything and fuck things up .

And we have the old d reaper arts where essentially these virus looking dementors , um kind of give me like a digimon movie vibes with , uh , that one digimon that looked like a fucking virus I forgot his name , but Hadesmon , I think Something like that Excuse me and essentially they just made a whole big deal out of that .

Save the day , save the world , digimon , go home . But oh well , you get to see them anytime you want to .

It wasn't that deep but , like I said , you're going to have to watch it to fully understand where we're coming from true um , kogatsu , is that you have anything to add on at all ?

I'm just going to say that , anyway , that's all I got .

So , with that being said , before we zone out of here , remember never stop daydreaming , because I honestly believe that the death of imagination is the death of the spirit . Thank you .
