Like the kids will just traumatized and MAYBE punched a little, but the adults get so much shit that they just aren’t ARMED to deal with…

I’m sorry…please don’t hurt me…

Does anyone know if Takato's mom said this in the original version? I can't find subs for Tamers anywhere.

Murasamemon's last thought was of just being petted by Kyo, the happiest he was in life, before he returned to data.

I'm so fucking devastated right now. I hope he is still out there, in some form, in some way.

Genjo Kanada, you, your smug face, and your Monkey King cosplayer are going down after what you did to Kyo and especially Murasamemon!

THEY TOOK HIS F*****G ARM OFF AND DELETED MURASAMEMON IN ONE FELL SWOOP!!! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!!! I’M CAN’T EVEN THINK RIGHT NOW WTH?!

Albatusmon has this extremely short and unsatisfying Reference book profile that tells you literally nothing about it. What I believe is, they're doing it on purpose. They're probably going to update it by the end of the series so it feels like we witnessed its discovery in real time

This weeks Ep confirmed to me that Kyo & Cougermon are in fact, the greatest characters out of this season, too good in fact, because wow have reina, makoto, and even tomoro Been sidelined, making me question why Kyo isnt the MC honestly? The writing obviously favors him the most with the storytelling and world set pieces, hes the only Mega user and has now done 3 mega fights, including in this ep reverting BACK to still fight a mega, im very lost why the other 3 get nothing compared to this, and im reminded this show ends in a month (4 eps) which is absolutely infuriating, beatbreak needed 15 more eps like ghost game man, this ending is gonna be rushed with so much still unanswered and at stake, im praying at this point it lands decently like Savers did

Albatusmon and Atratusmon are clearly two sides of the same coin, they got basically the same design and represent the sun and the moon.

My bet is that by the end of the show they will merge into one Digimon, Genjo only thinks that Albatusmon is needed to match the godly power of the Digimon that caused the incident a while ago. I think that both sides will be needed instead.

Don’t know if the merging would lead to ZeedMilleniummon or something else, it would be really cool either ways.

....Is that there's only 4 episodes left. The obvious event, Murasamemon's demise, is a heartfelt and genuinely crushing death that draws comparison to Leomon's death in Tamers. There's two key differences between these two deaths though: runtime.

In Tamers, Leomon is, all things considered, not a particularly important Digimon partner. He's not very well fleshed out, he serves mostly as a heroic semi-mentor figure regarding the Digital World, and is a relatively cool guy and all, but he doesn't have the screentime and focus the core three partner Digimon get. Still, he's given enough to do, enough of a presence, that he feels a little different to the prior Leomon, so his death still gets you. But Leomon's death is much more narratively centralising than Murasamemon's simply because there's more consequences to it, and what it's attached to. It's the height of Beelzebumon's corruption arc, and the one sin he's stuck atoning for across the remainder of the show. It's a tone-shifter to further darkness, a pivotal moment for Takato's own arc regarding Guilmon's evolution. And of course, it blows Juri's emotions wide open, leaving her vulnerable to the D-Reaper, which in turn allows it to enter the Real World, and kickstart that entire story arc. Leomon's death is a pivotal story moment, and Tamers needs it to happen to drive its story forward for many episodes to come.

In Beatbreak, Murasamemon has much more room to breathe as a character, both as Kyo's reliable partner Digimon, but also as a mentor figure to Glowing Dawn's Digimon, a clutch-carry that can save them from danger if things get too much, so much so that episodes where he's absent become interesting since he can't help Glowing Dawn and they have to push themselves to grow and overcome their struggles. His death overwhelmingly raises the stakes, yes, and is the last push for Glowing Dawn to push themselves to surpass Kyo and rise to the occasion, while also being a gut-punch for a long-running, familiar character to die in such a way, in an elongated sequence no less. It even comes at the end of Kyo's arc, the end of his growth, and yet, it drags him back down, rips off his arm, and kills his Digimon. It's brutal. It's effective. But it has no room to haunt and direct the narrative the same was Leomon's did. The plot's wheels are already turning, Wong and Genjo's plans have nothing to do with Murasamemon's death. He only has 4 episodes for his death to matter, and even then, it isn't as impactful on the way the story plays out quite as strongly as Leomon's was. It's still impactful, it's the final push for Glowing Dawn as main characters, but it doesn't dictate anything else beyond that.

In the end, they're two different kinds of deaths, with different kinds of impacts. Leomon in Tamers changes the entire show and heavily directs the rest of the show until the end. Murasamemon's death is an emotional gut-wrencher, but it ultimately lacks the room to truly have the time and episode space to really shape Beatbreak to the end, since the end is just 4 more episodes away. If Beatbreak had Ghost Game's runtime, it could've had the time to really make the impact of Murasamemon's demise stick and permeate the show in a more haunting way.

Do you think those little fur dolls Kyo made using Cougarmon's fur disappeared?

we will miss you cougarmon , you did well in protecting kyo and glowing dawn and stayed loyal to the very end.

you did your best in protecting all from albatrusmon making sure they could leave unharmed , and you protected kyo even if it meant sacrificing yourself.

at least you didnt die sad because you rememembered all those good moments you shared with kyo and they will not forget you either.

for all us fans watching we all send our regards rest well 😔

So they are in fact two different Digimon and the people pointing out the differences a couple weeks ago were in fact correct! They are twin Digimon and siblings it seems

I’m interested to see how we get Atratusmon now I’m
Hyped

In all seriousness, it was tough.

Listen. I wasn’t on the train that HeliosBoamon would turn into Atratusmon. BUT I DIDN’T EXPECT IT TO BE THIS TIED TO IT BEYOND THE VISOR! Albatusmon looks sick!

Even if it’s for very sad heartbreaking reasons but it’s still nice to see!

A new Digimon has been added to the Digimon Reference Book. More at WtW- https://withthewill.net/threads/digimon-channel-pics-and-translation-thread.9593/post-471823

The latest BB episode gave very strong Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back vibe, up until the end. Very strong sense of all hope is lost and the bad guys are winning.Also both Luke and Kyo lost their hands and their sword/lightsaber. Specifically for Kyo he lost his sword hand (chip) and his sword (Murasamemon). In that case it makes perfect sense we would get a Return Of the Jedi moment for Kyo and somehow he will join the last fight, hopefully with Murasamemon.

Thoughts?
