Episode 21, "The One Beside You", airs in 1 hour."Look Luka, here's a big cliff. You know what you wanna do."
Episode 21 preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ4avqVbJ3s
Episode 21 synopsis:Members of Glowing Dawn rush to Tomoro's aid, and he heads to the basement of the Colosseum to rescue Raito, who has been taken away.
This week's question:Will we see ANY new evolutions in this week's episode?
We also have another birthday to celebrate...as well as some rather expected yet annoying news...

So with today being the day after 28th February, it is of course the birthday of "genius" himself Raito Souda: https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/2027580122002518416 Enjoy losing your Digimon on your birthday, Raito!

And the annoying news: there is no episode next week (March 8) due to the Nagoya Women's Marathon... again: https://www.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/nagoya_womens/index.html
Based on the first arc this should mean the Tactics arc concludes on March 29. Calculating for the rest of the season with no further hiatuses means if Beatbreak is to be 49 episodes, it would finish September 20. So there's either another hiatus at some point or the season is 50 episodes long.

Especially as it will disprove her two beliefs about him: that he's fake, and that he's incapable. This time, strong willed independent Hotaruko will need someone else's help. Whatever is going to happen will shatter the "career woman" persona so hard only one person will be able to put her back together again. And that person is going to be a 10 year old runaway zaibatsu heir who fell in love with her at first sight. It looks like Makoto's going to PINK the PINK, and it will be the making of him.TRUST.

Gets imprisoned, freed by Hotaruko, spends much of his time moping/bragging about the people he effectively killed, and is last seen with Tomoro and Makoto about to escape being crushed by Klay's Digimon. We don't see him escape, so he's either dead or somewhere else.

I'm only bringing this up because of /v/ mention it. So, you may not know, but Friday was Pokémon day, celebrating their 30th anniversary. They reveal the new starters and one of them is a Gecko. Gecqua, the Water Gecko Pokémon.
Why is this important? Well, someone said, it's kind of funny how both Digimon and Pokémon introduce a Gecko-like monster very close to each other, almost like Japan is pushing people to like Geckos more.

I don't doubt that he's probably regretting it, but I think it's more because of the realization that he did all that immoral shit for nothing, rather than simply feeling guilty about it. Self-centered, but all Tactics members are.

Obviously wasn't reversed as he didn't have that when he was part of the group, as your pic shows. It also shows Kaito didnt have it back then too, but he does now. Sure we can handwave it as just the designers being retard and animators screwing up on the flashback but the only other option is it being some sort of mark that got introduced after Kyo defected with what it does or just being a byproduct of something else being up in the air
But yeah, animators screwing up is also very likely

It means the money-hungry sluts see Granit as nothing more than a walking wallet, hence not empty-handed, because Granit will have large amount of savings from all the Tactics jobs he has done and Granit definitely has nothing to spend on.

I like how Reina herself beat the jobber allegations this episode but not Wolvermon. I'm looking forward to the Makoto episode in 2 weeks. I wonder if any Glowing Dawn members will get their perfect levels before this arc ends. I think if anyone does, it'll be Tomoro during the last or second to last episode of the arc. I don't think either Hotaruko or Makoto are evolving next episode, but we'll see.

>>286426890
>I like how Reina herself beat the jobber allegations this episode but not Wolvermon
I think that's notable. Based on Raito's forced evolution of Rhamphomon in episode 19, the two have to be in complete sync to achieve Perfect even if the approach is wrong. Reina is trying but Wolvermon is fucking useless. The only way they can get to Perfect is if BOTH of them are competent.
As for the next episode, I can't see them killing off Honoka in one episode so I'd be shocked if we get an evolution. My guess is NightChiropmon + Tylomon with Honoka running off at some point after thinking about Kaito-sama because she's a dumb dumb.

I think the implication was that they were already dead. When Tomoro found the casket the previous episode the egg was still glowing green, but this time all the lights were out. So there was nothing left to save because that was a cemetery.

Good spot. No wonder Hotaruko objected to Raito using a little kid as bait in episode 14. Has a lot more depth than first depicted.

I'm not ashamed to say that Hotaruko is the main reason I've been really interested in this arc. It's nice to see a girl in Digimon not be treated as a fucking joke for once. I'd say she's the best Digigirl for a very long time. The Makoto relationship plot is a huge bonus because I've been so disappointed with him.

I do wonder how many of the Five STars have mega level up their sleeve if any. It would be kind of funny if they all ended up jobbing to the first Mega that appears after all the glazing they get. Considering how mercilessly Digimon are hunted down which prevents most from even reaching ultimate level I expect Mega's to be a big fucking deal.

I want more from him. The intelligence gathering, the analytics, all the technical stuff: that's what I want to see from him alongside developing as a person and the Hotaruko saga. It's been improving but the way Makoto and Reina were utilised in the opening arc was frankly terrible. The Tactics arc has been a lot better on the balance front.

>I don't like her
Is it due to the lack of morals and overall hypocrisy? Because I really get that. I can understand how that would make her unlikeable. But I see her as Shakomon: a squishy center encased in a rock solid exterior. There's a very intelligent yet normal girl in there whose circumstances of being expelled from education for getting a Digimon have pushed her to a life of crime in wanting to support her fatherless family. But in doing so she's hurting them hard and deceiving them about the truth, yet she is petrified of telling it to them. She's gone down such a route she appears irredeemable.
>making Hotaruko his rival doesn't really help him.
I think it does because it's not one way help: to paraphrase episode 17, it's symbiotic help. They both have problems the other can solve.
Makoto is weak, reluctant to act and naive. However, he is genuine, selfless and extremely mature.
Hotaruko is strong, independent and caring. However, she is egotistical, deceptive and hypocritical.
He can help her finally realise the importance of being truthful and accept it's OK to need help.
She can help him get stronger and be capable enough to work on his own accord.
I think the show's handled the relationship really well. We're obviously getting Makoto's "attack" in episode 22 after Hotaruko did it to him in episode 17. He got PINK'd, but she'll get YELLOW'd. And in the end, his "attack" will be stronger than hers because while Makoto needs improving, Hotaruko needs saving.

I'm still not over Tialudomon. Ludomon is such a cool design, and at the time it felt like a great return to the classic Digimon aesthetic with its grungy mashup of monster, armor, and graffiti paint splatters. Then it just turns into another gaudy Omegamon type. Didn't help that at the time the reference book images were super small, and the line's designs after Ludomon absolutely do not read well at small sizes.
At least the series got back to some fun designs around the Vita Bracelet/Ghost Game era. There were some dark times there before then that Ludomon's evolutions absolutely felt worse seeing in.

If they want to still play into the genius thing then having him be more of a really quick learner than intelligent in a general sense would be the way to go. He lost embarrasingly because he didn't understand the important of being in sync with your digimon, next time he shows up the two of them are almost uncannily coordinated or something like that.

Until now Digimon series instead focused more on other themes or ways that Digimon could impact the real world.

I think it's just a coincidence. Digimon in general have a much more personal connection to their humans this season than usual and they make jokes about that in show already. But having Digimon also causes more problems for the humans than usual this season too, and that aspect is the one Hotaruko's arc leans into (same thing with Makoto, actually). Having Digimon upends their old lives, but I think it's more about how that then reveals their moral characters and the different ways they've handled it and why. Hotaruko tries to keep everything the same whereas Makoto chose to leave his old life behind to stay with Chiropmon.
Obviously that also ends up feeling a lot like a teen pregnancy metaphor, but I think it's also just cause there tends to be more overlap on these things than people are willing to admit. It's about children having responsibility thrust on them before they're supposed to, and while that covers having a kid, there's a lot of other things that fall into that too.

So, no recolor, Xros, or X-antibodies. OK.
>>
>>286440296
It's mostly because most of those are just variants of the same Digimon, so it pads the number out and makes you think there are more Digimon that you have to actually remember. Hearing there are 12 Digimon to have to remember sounds like a lot, but then you realise it's just the 4 main Agumon forms, their black recolours, and their X-Antibody designs and it's a lot more manageable

That's what Pokemon does too nowadays. Unlike Digimon, Pokemon has an official numbering system, and within that system things like different regional variants, form changes, and even the Digimon-esque X-Antibody Mega Evolution all introduce new designs, some even more distinct than Digimon's "officially a different species" recolors, but all of them don't "count" to the overall Pokemon total. Pokemon even has recolors that don't count as separate species too.

There is no way it's just a coincidence. She even has the same "career woman" backstory that japanese drama characters usually have in stories similar to hers.
Digimon always has had some "social commentary" topics and themes even if those are buried under the monster battles and all the shonen tropes the franchise has.

Brilliant point. It also explains one half of her anger towards him after he mentions running away from Shangri-La: she is effectively having to juggle two lives (family/Tactics) with an enormous fear of having them intertwine, and falsely believes he is also living two lives because she hasn't known any other way since getting Shakomon. In Hotaruko's mind, Makoto can just go back to Shangri-La whenever he wants and return to a life of pampering because this is all a game to him and not the reality she's experiencing of being an overachieving working class kid.
What we know is the Cleaner life is now the only life Makoto has, and he genuinely doesn't want to be back in that privileged environment. She shut off the second she heard "Shangri-La Egg" and turned off altogether once he mentioned being helped. Hotaruko detests the idea of receiving help because she's that headstrong she fears being perceived as weak and incapable; it's clearly such a rarity it even shocks her that he actually bothered helping her.We know the number one reason why he did it, but he was far too nervous to admit that.Makoto on the other hand knows he's weak and tried his hardest to prove to her he is capable. Unfortunately that capability is in intel and support, not direct combat. And when you've got an extremely capable girl relying on you to be her saviour and you can't do it... well, it's no surprise she exploded.
I hope episode 22 gives the details as to why he ran away beyond "I got a Digimon". Maybe then she'll understand why he left. And who knows:she might eventually like him.

The fact she was remotely Cold Hearted was very odd. A Sapotama "bomb", perhaps?

Commandramon ain't the only one that can turn invisible
I also wonder if being shot by a sniper digimon wouldn't also inflict CH just the same as getting bitten

>the next episode has all three of them interacting with each other
I really really hopethey do a triangle with these three. It would be the funniest shit ever. Whoever wins, he successfully loses.

Yeah, the artist has done Digimon stuff for years: https://twitter.com/gobogobogobou11/status/2028039308008186013
I can't imagine Masaru & Tomoro getting along with each other.

Tomoro would probably hate the shit out of Masaru for hitting Digimon kek

I feel like they might bring him back and let Raito save him so he can get a little bit of redemption
>>
>>286452010
If Tactics arc ends episode 24 and we see Kyo and Seraphy fighting next episode, it might be that Hotaruko gets redeemed AND Seraphy gets beaten in the same episode. That would mean episode 23 is the Raito redemption and then 24 is the big final battle with Klay.

And that is the bump limit.
Remember: next episode is March 15. It will have Honoka versus Makoto and Hotaruko versus Makoto...and maybe even Glowing Dawn & Tactics versus a Five Star. A particularly stupid Five Star, but still one all the same.
What is with the 10 year old shota attracting psychotic girls whose names all begin with the same letter? We will find out in just under two weeks' time...

I assume Klay dies in episode 24. If Honoka is as much of a dumb dumb as she appears, she'll end up dying in hilarious self-inflicted circumstances and will probably only be around for a couple of episodes. Then they'd bring Rose in and once she's gone, just Kaito left. Genjo will last until final cour.

"Looks like he's"? More like "is". Tomoro isn't the brightest but compared to those three...

I was trying to emphasize how the artist made sure every one else looked like a doofus. Agumon's got that blank, open mouthed look, Gekkomon is wall eyed, and Masaru has his "LET'S ROCK AND ROLL BUDDY" expression going on.
