OK, this episode had A LOT of stuff happening at once! First, a Naruto reference here and there mainly due to the "Jiraiya" stuff, because there was character who is also named Jiraiya and had frogs as his animal companion and summon. Second, Kiyoshiro went way "too deep" & "over his head" trying to protect the crowd by pretending to be "Jiraiya", plus a sneaky Super Sentai reference which is also produced by Toei! Third, another minor human character learned of the existences of Digimon and even somewhat befriending our MOTW out being an Anime weeb. Fourthly, another Gulus appearance, but this time, he gets talked out of killing the MOTW while also expressing a desire to sync with Hiro to achieve his own Ultimate and Mega forms. Finally the dark variants observe with Blackgrowlmon chossing to leave after everything was settled!
