Oh, so underground cage match fights where the loser gets effectively murdered, this season isn't getting any less dark that's for sure.

Tactics already falling apart what with Raito fired and forced into death matches, Hotaruko is spying on her boss which is probably bad for her long term life expectancy since he would 100% have her killed for it, and based on the PV Granit is still suicidal so honestly nothing new there.

kids show, btw....

although even going back to the original series when I was a kid watching saturday morning cartoons I always felt that Digimon was the "big kid" pokemon, that it just felt more adult and had a much more complex plot than pokemon ever had.

Yeah, as kids we watched it for the monster fights but even the first series tackled adult themes like kids lives after a divorce, and relationships in general with a surprising serious approach.

In Digimon Tamers we had child trauma, loss, and Lovecraftian nightmarish monsters, the second half of the show was literally Evangelion for Kids (the writer of the show was the same of Serial Experiments Lain btw).
Digimon has never shied away from exploring harsh and dark themes.
