Man, I always forget Tomoro is wearing crocs and get jumpscared [whenever there's a closeup shot of them](https://imgur.com/a/dyGLeEo).

duo99dusk2026-01-12 00:57

Open shoes on these kind of anime protagonists look awful everywhere, the Pokemon anime got to fix Roy after the time jump

Those crocs are always terrible to see, hope Tomoro gets a mid-season redesign

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-12 01:06

Expecting Sora like shoes from Kingdom Hearts. Same Seiyuu

srofais2026-01-11 05:29

Interesting, Tylomon is an Armor level but seems to be Syakomon's Adult level this time. I was expecting the usual Shellmon line.

Also that Raito guy is one heck of a piece of shit

HighSlayerRalton2026-01-11 21:03

Syakomon is a 'main' rookie for Shellmon, Ranamon, Octomon, Gesomon, and now Tylomon.

Shellmon also has Sangomon and, to a lesser extent, Crabmon, and Shellmon's 'mainest' evolved form showed up a few episodes ago, so I'm not surprised to see Syakomon evolve into something else.

Tylomon was unexpected, however.

OrangeBanana382026-01-11 05:34

We slowly ramping up into the confrontation with one of the five stars.

I was also half expecting Armalizamon to Dark Digievolve when Tomoro kept pushing while exhausted. But if that didn't happen during the early fights between Gekkomon and Tomoro, I don't think that's going to happen.

Whole-Extension35612026-01-11 07:55

Yeah if it didn't happen against Raremon it probably won't happen out of anger of this level

HighSlayerRalton2026-01-11 21:01

Just wait until the inevitable conflict with Gokuumon.

Close-Thirds2026-01-12 01:53

Both Armalizamon and Tomoro were working together in perfect sync and motivated to help that boy. They were angry (really, focused), but not out of selfishness or hate, and weren't so angry that they went berserk. That's why there was no dark evolution.

OrangeBanana382026-01-12 01:57

> They were angry (really, focused), but not out of selfishness or hate, and weren't so angry that they went berserk. That's why there was no dark evolution.

Yeah, they were both pushing in the same direction. I hadn't thought about it, but yeah, Dark evolutions are also about conflict between Digimon and trainer

ShawnHeatherly2026-01-11 05:57

It's gonna be real hard when Tactics is inevitably being redeemed in like 20 episodes to forget how they nearly let a kid die.

Moxey6162026-01-11 08:58

Only the girl has any chance of being redeemed so far.
Granit is a mystery and Souda Raito is full evil right now.

SorryImBadWithNames2026-01-12 22:25

Well...

First, everyone thinks pretty much everyone will be redeemed, but this *is* the guy that wrote Savers, pretty much the only digimon anime to have unredeemed human villains (with Kurata and his 3 minions). So maybe these guys are intended to just be awfull and get beaten.

But, if the idea is for them to be redeemed, it can be done. 02 has *a lot* of flaws, but Ken's arc from a ruthless, almost genocidal tyrant that tried to kill the kids multiple times to the "sixth ranger" of the team was pretty much spot on. And Tactics still isnt even at Kaiser levels of "what the fuck, man?!"

Nejaru2026-01-16 21:30

I haven't watched 02 in quite a while, but wasn't Ken being brainwashed or something?

SorryImBadWithNames2026-01-16 21:40

Not quite. More like, his worst traits were being amplified, I believe

CelioHogane2026-01-13 00:17

By all intents and purposes, THEY attacked the kid.

djthomp2026-01-11 06:00

Casually letting a kid get his digital soul sucked out to let the digimon they were chasing power up is pretty evil. The girl didn't like it though so I could see some group conflicts coming from that.

I'm glad this wasn't a second week of the Glowing Dawn getting beaten by these new kids.

Ponchorello72026-01-11 06:30

>I'm glad this wasn't a second week of the Glowing Dawn getting beaten by these new kids.

I was fully expecting this, so I was pleasantly surprised.

xolon62026-01-11 07:47

Tomoro's Beat being amped by his righteous anger towards them for using the kid as bait was a great contrast to their beliefs about controlling emotions being the best and only way to fight.

CelioHogane2026-01-13 00:16

Not as a bait, as a battery

They might as well have attacked that kid themselves.

How the fuck do they not get a bounty? Does Glowing Dawn have zero rep? Im pretty certain even if it's the Earth Star that did that, it was still very fucking illegal.

Like the Fire Star for sure would have seen that and went "Yo what the fuck"

Masterness642026-01-11 08:45

Pretty solid episode. Tactics had a much better showing this time as antagonists compared to last episode and Raito continues to further cement himself as a piece of shit. Him using those kids a bait and letting one of them get their e-pulse sucked out was messed up, glad Hotaruko at least showed some concern so we know not everyone in Tactics is a complete asshole. At least Raito's cruelty made him getting punched in the end all the more satisfying. I do wonder if they'll actually try and redeem Raito or will he just continue to be a shit while the other members have a change of heart.

Seeing Kyo humble Naito was also great to watch, wonder where their dynamic will go considering Klay seems interested in Kyo and Glowing Dawn and that upsets Naito.

Im glad Glowing Dawn won in the end, was worried that this arc would mostly be Tactics stomping their asses until the end but it seems to be more of a back and forth with both teams being on *somewhat* equal footing, at least so far.

But speaking of equal footing man Reina and Makoto really need to step it up cause they had it rough this episode, one shot and both their partners were out. To be fair it was a poison attack from a ultimate, but still not a great showing. In fact they've both been struggling since Chiropmon evolved, the only exception was Bomber Nanimon and they were treated as a joke for the most part. I really hope they get a W in the next couple of episodes.

bestassinthewest2026-01-12 17:36

The preview of the next episode looks to be Reina trying to train herself, Makoto, and the Nironso digimon. I hope we get a lot out of that cause it’s really interesting

Moxey6162026-01-11 08:58

That Tactics digivolution theme was nice.

bustermemesgobrrrrrr2026-01-11 09:09

Pleasantly surprised that Tomoro/Gekkomon got a win over the Tactics goons and that Kyo got a shot to show off why he was the strongest Five Star.

Naito is hilariously muscular. Like, someone on the animation team is giving him a lot of attention, bless them.

mrhades1132026-01-11 10:12

I was expecting to see a Ludomon evolution, it seens Granit can't make it evolve yet.

HighSlayerRalton2026-01-11 21:04

I'm curious to see what it will evolve into, since the other Tactics Digimon didn't evolve along pre-established lines.

AntbruhA2026-01-11 10:36

I expected Tactics to beat the Glowing Dawn this episode, so I was pretty surprised that they were the ones who lost.

Also, fuck Raito.

Volfaer2026-01-11 12:01

The digimon black market and underworld makes itself more clear, from high bidders buying and basically investing in digimon, to private armies being trained to deal with them

Things went as expected. Tactics 7 is a team of highly trained, and possibly severely abused, skilled teenagers, it was clear Glowing Dawn was no match for them and this episode showed it. They are the arc opponent to struggle against and eventually surpass.

This arc is probably going to be not only about facing Tactics, but also improving as a team, because Reina and Makoto go down almost immediately and Tomoro struggles a lot, and they would've lost badly if he didn't have such grit.

italeteller2026-01-11 18:32

Oh hi Gigasmon, haven't seen you since Frontier

I was fully ready for Tactics 7 to get away with murder to motivate Glowing Dawn, so Tomoro going plus ultra and geting the win was an unexpected but much appreciated swerve

I do hate the scene where everybody's introducing themselves and the Scorpiomon is just there, waiting, doing nothing

OkInevitable40952026-01-11 20:48

Technically Gigasmon (and quite a few of the other *not owned by a child* Spirits) showed up in Ghost Game but as one-off episode characters.

It'd be certainly interesting if we get an actual line evolution for them here though, as they're doing the Human Spirit = Champion, Beast Spirit = Ultimate again.

italeteller2026-01-11 22:09

I didn't watch Ghost Game though, so my point still stands

Yeah, I was surprised when they called it an Ultimate form, since I'm pretty sure Frontier had him as champion

Rammboy_70842026-01-11 21:25

This was a solid action packed episode, even if the direction was kinda iffy sometimes.
I thought our team would suffer another resounding defeat, but i was surprised it was not.
I'm hating Raito, he was very cocky in this episode, but i like the girl from Tactics, she seems not that bad.

Next episode seems lighter, that's fine.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-12 01:09

Raito got humiliated right there.

Doomroar2026-01-12 04:41

You can tell Tomoro wasn't all that overcome with emotion because he keep his eyes on the objective that was to get back the stolen E-pulse, he was actually in control, if this was a dark digivolution moment he would have insisted on keeping up the fight after the Scorpiomon was defeated and would have aimed for some good leg breaking on the tactic team

But he seems to have learned his lesson from the time with the Raremon, so i don't think we will see a Dark evolution for a good while things would have to go really really badly for Tomoro to essentially push his character growth to not just regress but actually worsen beyond any of the lowest points his life, and he has had already some low point with his brother in a coma, and his parents in jail

NeoTagAtg2026-01-12 17:58

Was this a bad episode? Like some of them have been lackluster but still decent. This just felt well bad. The tactics team is not coming across as strong and the plot limits(getting repeatedly ambushed and more) put on the MC team to make them lose felt weirdly fake as can be. Then came Tactics almost win which had this digimon suddenly make a massive mistake after one deflected attack? I think if the MC lost it wouldn't of been a question bad episode. Yet does that turns enough around to save the episode?

CelioHogane2026-01-13 00:14

So are cleaners just allowed to commit crimes? Because they activelly used that kid to feed the digimon, there is no way that is fucking legal.

overlordpringerx2026-01-13 08:25

Just look at the state of the US right now. There's tons of real world examples of government institutions breaking the law and getting away with it because it benefits people in power.

CelioHogane2026-01-13 08:58

Bringing up USA is cheating, this anime is pretending they live on a real country.

overlordpringerx2026-01-13 10:44

I get the joke, but the world in Beatbreak is literally a cyberpunk dystopia

CelioHogane2026-01-13 10:50

Distopia sure, cyberpunk not so much.

overlordpringerx2026-01-13 14:12

It combines technological advancements with societal disparity and collapse. Children get a chip implanted at birth and assigned their own Sapotama which they need to navigate every aspect of life. It's cyberpunk. Even if it's not as in your face as something like edgerunners

CelioHogane2026-01-13 14:14

it might be a cyber distopia, but it's not punk.

Thomas_JCG2026-01-13 23:08

Because Digimon existence is being covered up by the big evil corporation, which also controls the Five Stars, of which Klai is part of and the leader of Tactics. So there is nobody to report the crimes to.

Gold_sadness_24942026-01-13 21:53

I wonder what’s up with Ludomon since it didn’t evolve at all

Thomas_JCG2026-01-13 23:03

Thank God the main characters didn't get their asses beaten again. Specially happy with that Raito brat getting a punch from a very muscular dude.
