Now this was a fantastic episode. We rarely get to see Joe and Matt interact. As usual, Demidevimon plays his usual trick on the digi-destined.

I felt so bad for Joe being tricked like that and then being accused of lying by Matt ;_;

And once again Joe acts all cool and jumps in to save TK. Way to go Joe ^^ This reminds of the episode where he jumped on top of Unimon to take the dark gear off

Isn't it kind of ironic that Matt's crest is the crest of friendship when Matt is the one who gives his friends shit the most? lol

Demidevimon is proving to be incredibly annoying - not just to the DegiDestined, but to the viewer as well. I want to swat him with a bat or something.

That's what I thought as a kid as well, but now it's clear that Yamato is the one who cares the most about his friends. Since the start he was always the one who wanted to protect everyone. Maybe the dub portrays him differently.

Nice episode, but it seems we're back at Power Rangers like chapters.

I wonder why isn't Sora joining them already, she is only helping them from the shadows.

The feels! The brotherhood between Taichi and Jou!

No, don't split up! Stick together as a group!

I'm guessing Taichi and Jou will find Koushirou and put their brains together to figure out the plot. Or, they will save that for when everybody gets together, and instead Taichi and Jou will find Mimi, as they haven't really interacted with her.

...I want to like this episode but it feels both rushed and clunky.

How much of the mistakes were Jyou's and how many were caused by the villains? I know Jyou says he "keeps making mistakes" but if it IS his fault, it seems odd this level of clumsiness never appeared before.
(And I can't believe he STILL thinks there are other humans. Seriously?) I think the whole drama would have been better played out if it showed us which it is and how little Jyou and Yamato communicate.

And with that, the same problem with Taichi is the exact same problem with Yamato. He doesn't, in general, have a problem with the concept of friendship. And the anime even has him describe Jyou as his friend multiple times. So the anime has to artificially create drama to make them lose/doubt that trait then regain it just for the Crest to activate with 24 mins. Thus PicoDevimon is actually helping them by making them doubt. If he literally doesn't do anything, the Crests would never activate.

Why did Yamato yell out "Friendship"; what's the point?
Why did he flip out and tell Takeru to just shut up and be a follower? I get he's mad but it just seems a bit OOC for what we know of him so far. Heck, a bunch of his dialogue in the latter half is clunky.
And why did he hold the digivice? Especially in that way like it's not actually there. lol

Why did PicoDevimon reveal himself as the bad guy? It's so counter-productive to any plans he could make.

All in all, could have been good, but it's not, not really.

Also I don't know if it's the blu-ray or my file, but this episode went out of video-audio sync.

Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details.

Yamato and Gabumon.
Veggiemon. Adult.
Gomamon.
Jo.
PicoDevimon.
LMAO at Numemon using an American bill.
They accept dollar bills but not yen. lol
Digitamamon. Perfect.
PicoDevimon. Dat bribe.
Yamato is cooking.
Dem mistakes. Dat extension.
Jo drops it after saying he won't make any more mistakes. lol
Sora put the brick back.
PicoDevimon approaches Yamato.
Dem dishes. 1 more week.
Taichi.
Digitamamon attacks Yamato.
Dat theme. Garurumon.
Veggiemon has Takeru.
Dat theme. Ikkakumon.
Jo is caught.
Dat Nightmare Syndrome.
Yujo!
Dat theme. Garurumon! Chou shinka! WereGarurumon!
WereGarurumon sent Digitamamon flying.
The Crest of friendship. Who is that?
Dat split up.
Dat ending.

So Yamato's crest is friendship. I can only assume PicoDevimon will be the one revealing the names of the crests, except Taichi, to the Digimon he is talking to after he fails again.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Why is Sora hiding from the teammates?
Is there a reason she cannot show herself while helping them out? :|

Those who rely on PicoDevimon are far from being smart. Lol
That the oldest character (of the children) fell into the trap is... Just weird.
(At least at the end of the episode he showed bravery)
Sora, on the other hand, is still hiding and that's also very weird.
I think they could have put more effort into the design of this new evolution...
But I certainly notice that the designs of the villains are much worse.
Giving so much power to a monkey and then to an egg with legs is terrible.

This was the funniest episode so far, I laughed so much when Jyou, the proud Japanese boy found out the owner only accepts dollars as payment hahahha and the way he and Yamato were soft-enslaved was genius! xD
WereGarumon feels like it came out of Fist of the North Star! jeans, shoulder pad and brass knuckles? hahaha he is only missing the Mohawk haircut :P
