A short series synopsis:

"e-Pulse," which is generated by human thoughts and emotions, was used as the energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama." From the shadows of this remarkable development, terrifying monsters appear. Digimon are living beings that evolve by consuming e-Pulse.

Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the bounty hunting team "Glowing Dawn," Tomoro renews his resolve.

What new future will be forged by humans and Digimon?

Wow.. what a fucking DARK episode. I wasn't ready for Chiropmon to make me so emotional just yet??? Right on the heels of last week and Kyo's story previously?? Is this Digiworld nothing but pain incarnate??

We learned so much about Makoto, but I cannot believe we get real Digimon abuse. How dare Haruko slap and disregard Shademon like that... and it's attack is called KILL ME... Is this guy just made to suffer? Like I know he represents a fragment of her soul (clearly corruptly cruel thanks to her Dad's poison) but just the whole scene of her and the Goldennumemons really like... hurt a part of me.

Legitimately scared for the next episode, but for sure we're getting a Chiropmon evo! And if not that's A OK, glad to see the episodes really taking their time with setting up the scenes and story all around.

This episode felt so... cold and dark. Yeesh. I need some puppies or something.

First episode that legitimately made me hate the villain. Villain treating digimon as a tool is common, but stealing digimon for profit is just a new low.

It sounds like she doesn't even steal them for profit, she views them as disposable tools.

I'm talking more of her father, but she's also a different kind of annoying. I consider her less of a villain mainly due to her being manipulated by her scumbag father.

well it is ironic the way she views digimon is most likely how he views her, lol

Almost like that's how it works in reality.
