That's okay. It took me awhile to watch this episode since I've been busy with school and stuff.
I thought that this was a pretty cool episode. The best parts were definitely when Ken heard Devimon questioning if he could handle the Dark Power, Takeru's flasrabroadack and, of course, how he pretty much beat the living crud out of Ken. That was totally awesome. It's just too bad that this was pretty much the only interesting thing he does throughout this whole series.
For some reason, I didn't think of Ken playing dress up as an evil villain until this episode. Though it probably helps that this episode mentions the first major Digimon villain. Compared to pretty much all of the villains Takeru faced with the other original Chosen Children, especially everything from Myotismon to the final villain, Ken just really does look like a spoiled brat. Sure, he's smart, but he's really over his head here.
Overall, it was a good episode. I just can't get over wishing that Takeru had that much more action again in future episodes. I will be looking foreword to next week's episode since that's one of my favorites during this arc. Not to mention the shiny new evolution we'll get out of it too.
So true. I was really surprised with how much he beat up Ken. Takeru usually has a pretty calm demeanor and it's a shame that he doesn't get this mad again. Not even when they're fighting BlackWarGreymon.
True since outside of water battles, Submarimon really isn't that useful and I think that they rarely have battles invovling the water in this series.
That was a good line and I actually prefer that over Ken just calling Takeru Maggot again. This line at least hints at Ken realizing his mistake in the near future.
Yeah, that was pretty bad. It isn't as bad as some of the other lines in this arc and it unfortunately isn't funny enough to make it so bad, it's actually funny either.
I always did find Daisuke pretty interesting, as while as Miyako, in the dub. Daisuke had pretty good development, mostly in the second half though. I never did care too much for Iori. I guess it has to do with how he was pretty dull. Not to mention that I never did like his dub voice. The only time I found Iori interesting was near the end of the series when they brought up his dad and his friend, but even that didn't make him that interesting.
That would be interesting since the original Chosen Children did have some development outside of their Digimon partner's new evolution. I think Daisuke did get some of that treatment during some parts of the second half with his frienRABhip with Ken, but I don't think Miyako or Iori had some time to really develop their personalities.
Considering how Adventure 02 left some questions unanswered, mainly about the Dark Ocean, the idea of a third series afterword would have been an interesting idea. That might have given the Adventure series a better sense of conclusion for many fans, but I agree with garfield15 that going with Tamers was a better idea overall.
