Started watching this a bit into the show but hadn't been posting in the threads just yet, time to start I guess.

So about 20 years ago they had a minor Second Impact type event that fucked up the coastline and killed 1.3 million people. That explains the ocean side destruction and very rough slums.

Very rude of everyone including her own digimon being so surprised at Reina getting hit on.

Fire dude from the Five Stars feels like mid show antagonist that'll be an ally by the end. Maybe the girl in the group that was all over him too.

Professional-Bus-7492026-01-04 05:22

Yeah the first one was shout out to Evangelion.

Back after the new year break and as I hoped, the proper story is finally getting going. I’m a sucker for these team vs team overarching plot lines where the leads have to take on one member at a time as we gradually find out the truth of whatever’s going on in a story. So here, for example, I’m really curious what the shangri la project is. Obviously the real shangri la refers to the mystical hidden paradise. I wonder if the five stars are planning to do something to the digital world? Maybe even destroying it since Digimon evolving is a cause for concern for them?

Huge fan of Honoka already, any Kugimiya Rie voiced character is going to be amazing. She’s so fun and cute though. Kaito gotta stop being so mean to her tho lol. Speaking of cute girls, looks like my boy Makoto got a new crush.. wonder how that’ll play out, the good old fashioned turning her to the good side plot line?

This week’s fight was really cool, neutron laser went hard. Love a good team building exercise as the glowing dawn continue to grow as a unit. They’re definitely going to need it if they have to take on Naito and team 7 before they even get to Klay. I’m hype, I just love these sort of grand battle sorts of story with lots of mini bosses before we get to the big final battle.

I’m just glad to see us move past the Tomoro/Gekkomon drama too! Proud of both of them.

Pretty good set up episode. Learning more about the catastrophe was interesting and we got to see the all the other Five Stars. We got a glimpse into their personalities and dynamics and they all seem like a potentially fun group of villains. Im curious to know more about them and see where Kaito's suspicions of Kanada go.

Glowing Dawn are riding high with them now having three Champion/Adult levels on their side. The new firepower is no joke with how easily they took care of Bomber Nanimon. The final beatdown where the three teamed up was so cool! Too bad Tactics went and ruined everything.

Tactics are a lot more outright unlikable then I was expecting on a first impression. Like I wasn't expecting them to be nice or anything but I thought they were going to be at least a little more honorable then this. I was expecting a kill steal but I did not expect them to strait up let Glowing Dawn do all the work and then just steal the bounty for themselves. Raito also a lot more of a fuckboi then I was expecting, also he's very vain and kind of unhinged. Looking forward to see them properly fighting our heroes next episode and maybe see a new Monodramon evo potentially(?) which is exciting.

HeavyMetalVampire2026-01-04 19:49

Yeah, at this point Five Stars could be more likeable than Tactics.

Whole-Extension35612026-01-04 06:18

I wonder why some people get their Digimon at champion level instead of rookie level, though Nanimon being an Invader type is kind of a special case anyways.

duo99dusk2026-01-05 02:38

Probably something about their ePulse at the moment the Digimon is born

HighSlayerRalton2026-01-06 20:12

Since Digimon reflect their partners, it may be related to the age of the human. Team Tactic's partners are all rookies, like the kids of Glowing Dawn. Adult Digimon have come from adult humans, barring Mimicmon.

Whole-Extension35612026-01-06 20:55

Hmm could be, Haruko got Shademon though that probably happened since it reflected her personality

Extreme-Guava-52502026-01-04 07:04

Good episode
Honestly the only thing that annoyed/surprised me was that everyone was so surprised Reina got hit on
Like isn't she insanely cute/pretty? How is that surprising xD
I m more surprised she hasn't gotten hit on more

duo99dusk2026-01-05 02:33

I think it was more awkward than anything, like someone hitting on your sister.

Eliv2026-01-04 07:05

Five stars sure do sound like five assholes to me

bustermemesgobrrrrrr2026-01-04 09:47

They really broke out some smooth animation for a fight against Nanimon.

So many new characters introduced.

After I wanted just a little more serialization from Ghost Game, I'm happy we get so many story threads to follow. The Five Stars. The World Union's secret scheme. What happened to the world and are Digimon related to that Third Impact ass event. Tomoro's brother. Kyo's whole mysterious deal.

srofais2026-01-04 10:35

If I had a nickel for every Digimon side character with a Monodramon that flirts/hits on the tomboy of the group I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.

Also with how good that BomberNanimon fight was animated I hope the dub doesn't have to turn him into a citrus

FlameDragoon9332026-01-04 13:13

Who's the other one?

srofais2026-01-04 14:12

Ryo from Digimon Tamers

BusouDrago2026-01-04 21:06

Expecting a JusticeMon type of Evolution

Volfaer2026-01-04 10:43

The Five Stars are fully revealed and congratulations to Proganomon and MarinChimeramon for their anime debut. We also got glimpses of what the catastrophe was, nothing that specific, but I'm a bit disappointed that it basically only affected Japan, they could've made it a more widespread apocalypse.

The apparent arc antagonist team, the Tactics 7, also makes their appearance by stealing a bounty, their dynamic with the group will definitely be interesting to see, although I wouldn't mind team Glowing Dawn kicking them in the mouth next episode, but they will probably show that GD still has a long road ahead. They also have a direct connection to one of the five stars, could this be just a Klay thing or all five are supposed to have crews for them?

Also new ending, and it is so pretty, but it does spoil the digivolutions of Tactics 7.

Working-Spell-70242026-01-05 03:11

Given how the Five Stars have been shown, I'd also expect Rose (the smug rich girl look gives that feeling) and Genjo (he is already shown to be a schemer). Kaito is a battle maniac, and Honoka looks like the new one, so it'd seem unlikely. Unless they get them assigned or something.

Mogtaki2026-01-04 11:08

That Bomberman reference was pretty fun

Also Terriermon spotted in the new ED

MrSargent2026-01-04 18:38

Good to see I'm not the only one who spotted Terriermon in the new ending, which has a really nice tune to it.

With that said, not 100% sure which one is the one sleeping at the start of the new ending, at first glance it looks like a Gigasmon to me but I could be wrong.

Phayzka2026-01-04 20:51

Would explain the sand teleport, kinda

suchproblemchildren2026-01-04 22:48

The new visual of the Team Tactics showed a Gigasmon, so it makes sense that it would be that.

moichispa2026-01-04 20:07

I was thinking about how Terrier master in Tamers is called Wong (like the old guy on the first scene) but that is something from the western dubs, Japanese one does not use it at all.

BusouDrago2026-01-04 21:05

Momentime

BusouDrago2026-01-04 21:07

Hey its Citrusmon and his exploding citrus juice

Doomroar2026-01-05 02:20

A whole island erased from the map, the sea levels increasing, and 1300000 dead or missing, very One Piece pilled, also shit got the realest of any Digimon series besides the X antibody OVA (which didn't had humans, so the stakes were all time high for everyone on it)

AntbruhA2026-01-05 17:45

I'm getting some Evangelion vibes with the whole incident about 20 years ago and Shangri-La project. I'm guessing a powerful Mega level Digimon caused the catastrophe in 2029, and the Digital World will play a part in the Shangri-La project. I'm excited to see how all of this will play out.

Not much to say about the Five Stars, they're all pretty much what I expected. They will be some fun antagonists.

Tactics stealing the bounty like that just sucks. Unlikeable bunch already.

Nothing to say about our lonely, single, muscular (but weak) 30 year old man. Though, I do wonder what little part he will play in the future.

The new ending is cool. It's not as great as Beat Up, but it's still pretty good.

The episode is mainly a set up for future events. Overall, it's a solid episode.

Open_Inspector_78632026-01-06 10:33

Great episode to set up the second string. EVA reference with the vanishing island maybe even one piece, naruto team seven reference was cool aswell.

Establishing a hierarchy of opps is a much better idea than to picking off one star after another and team 7 seems like an interesting group in their own right.

Always glad to see Naotoshi Shida elevating these low stake episodes with his cuts. What an og. I really hope the production doesnt fall off too much with everything going on.

Thomas_JCG2026-01-09 01:43

Man, can there ever be one episode without something annoying happening? Now we have three stooges that steal people's bounties and do the whole "we are so much better than you" rigamarole while the main characters watch helplessly.

At the very least the backstory with the five stars was cool. Minor annoyance: Why isn't the gold star the point?
