Did GG staff watched all the previous seasons of Digimon and then thought, ‘’hmm, you all can do better’’, then proceeded to make all the joke Digimon into a lethal, formidable threat.
Arukenimon and Lilithmon were nothing more than underestimated lackeys in their series, but here, they almost killed the main cast if not for timely intervention.

Alright, I'm now playing cyber sleuth:hackers memory, and just so you guys know I picked betamon, because it's the one on the cover. But I have a question and I'm gonna put it under the cut.
So I've watched digimon xross wars/fusion, and now that I've seen 2 versions of neptunemon I have a few big questions, 1) why does it have a sharp toothed shark monster mouth in the anime and most official art I've seen but in the game it has a normal human mouth. 2) is it like an apollomon/appolomon(whispered) situation or are they just 2 separate designs for the same exact digimon? 3) why is appolomon not in this game because some members of the Olympus 12 are in the game including it's counterpart dianamon, so why not it?

I was today years old when I realized WHY this bitch has been one of my comfort characters since 1999. He is *resilient* as *all hell*. Regardless of being defeated *twice* in Digimon Adventure, he came back in Digimon Adventure 02. Not only that but if I remember correctly, he came back *again* in Digimon Xross Wars and it took *all 6* Digidestined leaders to take his ass out. That is the kind of determed and resilient I strive to be. Yeah hes a villain but holy crap if you ever need a character to inspire you to get up when life kicks the crap out of you, Myotismon is the one...

Digimon Xros Wars: Hunters Ep25 liveblog
The last episode!!!! Tagiru and Gumdramon's final silly moment!!!!!
NOOOOO RYOUMA'S PARTNER WAS THE EVIL ONE........ even right up to the end, there's digimon feeding off the hearts of humans & betraying the mutual strength and protection they've given each other by partnering up
oh so the true quartzmon is all about body horror huh. and it is actually kinda freaky, too... well-executed.
so since quartzmon absorbed the data of the Digimon that Ryouma fought via hollowing out Astamon and hiding in there... so Ryouma probably was the hunter who mistreated MetallifeKuwagamon, but it was only kinda his fault because he was being manipulated
and Ryouma wanted to be like Taiki and be strong so much that he didn't even notice he was being manipulated...
the animation right now reminds me of the style of late-series og xros wars, which is a very very bad omen. two xros wars finales sullied by the same shitty key animator
i was right tho, not only has Tagiru taken on the mantle of the hunter who will take down Quartzmon, but he has also taken Taiki's place as the 6th hero
the brave snatcher is unexpectedly heavy, just like the burden of the role of a "hero"
oh yeah and Taiki gave Tagiru his goggles and that's also significant. i just forgot since Tagiru normally wears goggles anyways
well the animation is normal now so maybe it's fine
also just noticed that Quartzmon has a clock motif. and, of course, the majority of modern watches and clocks use a piece of vibrating quartz to keep time...
'i have the data of your teammates. your rival. and this old man you don't really care about.'
Quartzmon absorbing the data of others but still retaining their consciousnesses + the way Tagiru and Arresterdramon are being digested, brings back to mind the ill xrosses that the antagonists would do in og Xros Wars where'd they'd absorb data like this
quartzmon's roots look like the ps2 home menu
it's that forme change again! again it feels like the context surrounding it was cut for time, but it's clear that it's activated by the bonds between him and Tagiru!
AND tagiru chikara is being played as an insert song... awesome
AND HE'S XROSSING ARRESTERDRAMON SUPERIOR WITH THE REMAINS OF THE BRAVE SNATCHER!!
and similar to those past enemy xrosses, the data of his friends is able to still exercise their own will and help defeat Quartzmon from within
& the way the song cuts out as they enter the eerie calmness of where its roots are, the eye of the storm... it's good editing
and they won and the world is fine hooray
it turned into an egg...
and they're in the void
aw man all the digimon are leaving & it doesn't even have the bittersweet "we'll keep improving our respective worlds" feeling as the og xros wars finale, this is just regular sad...
NOOO I DON'T WANT THESE TWO TO HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE......
peace has returned and we can finally play basketball again NO TAGIRU LOOKS SAD
YES REUNION
the. the old watchmaker, was the reincarnation of... Bagramon???? i was kinda wondering how they were justifying xros loaders being handed out willy-nilly since it was established bagramon made them, but i wasn't expecting this.... i was just accepting the discrepancy at face value...
IT WAS A FAKE OUT???
NOT A FAKE OUT???
so some stray Digimon got stuck in the real world
well that's good im glad they can stay together in our hearts and the non-existent post-story
right, so, the closing thoughts… well, i’ll probably elaborate on this more in separate posts, but… i liked this show lot! it may not have nearly as much Plot as most Digimon series do, and it mostly sucks at being a sequel to Xros Wars, but I’m always a fan of the “Digimon are causing trouble in the real world” type of concept and Hunters was no exception! the silly-but-high stakes generally works pretty well, they had fun generic cartoon plots like Restaurant Wars and Diving for Treasure, and I think that Tagiru and Gumdramon’s high energy did actually hold things together! i don’t think the series would have been able to pull off that same kind of “fun” feeling if Taiki had still been the protagonist, for example. i’m not sure if it’s what one might call a ‘good’ show, but I really enjoyed it and had fun watching it, and that’s what matters most!
this is the last liveblog I’ll be doing in this format (i’ve grown to prefer watching episodes in full & then talking about them afterwards), so thanks very much for reading this far!
