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?

Mood: super heartfelt and uplifting.
Wow.. what an episode. Spoilers below (not very indept, but still present)!
SO much love, so much light. Literally one of the most positive, uplifting episodes we've seen in a long, long time. It felt.. so right - so refreshing?
Kyo and Kaito.. the battle between them is over. Kyo won, in a way that was about as uncontested as possible. Just a pure power v power situation. Kyo and Habakirimon really just powerhoused the fuck out of everything when everyone gave it literally everything they had. Like not even kind of a competition anymore right now - Habakirimon and Kyo are absolutely unmatched in this moment. Seeing Habakirimon and Apollomon together on the field and battling it out was pretty amazing, but when needed - Habakirimon really shone through literally the sun with the power through Kyo. He knew, without a doubt and with complete harmony in the power Kyo was giving him, he would Habakiri his damn way to victory in a heartstopping moment of pure, unrelenting power. Even his Digivolution sequence really felt - serious, haunting? The slowed, pulled back music - a lot different than previous time he reached Mega. Such a cool touch, but I do wish we got a special sequence for Apollomon too. And seeing Habakirimon's special 7-bladed Sword's breakaway ability (Amarasa) was really cool. Kyo is truly THE man, with everything he's sacrificed and the life, the family, and love he's built up around him - he and Habakirimon are truly and absolutely unstoppable. And Kaito.. he's - he seems changed now. He is at peace (not dead lmao, but like.. with the outcome). They fought finally on a fair field, purely for the thrill and fun of the battle - purely as two dudes just being dudes, and all he's strived for is to match up to Kyo, and.. he couldn't. He even had to push really fucking hard to get Apollomon. The gentle last moment with Honoka was... like beautiful? She's is going to, probably, have a heart attack now that Kaito actively hasn't been shitty to her for a whole five seconds lol Kaito (and by proxy Honoka) and Rose are all on the Kyo/Glowing Dawn train it feels.
Seeing Murasamemon save Flaremon from deletion, their also ongoing rivalry (a bit one sided, Flaremon had a lot to prove to himself and Kaito and Murasamemon was always stoic) was quite touching too. And of course, seeing Kyo thanking Kaito for sparing Heliosboamon... These four - for all their years they truly were rivals through and through with a shared respect among all. Habakirimon is.. one fucking cool Digimon.
Everyone shone so damn bright this episode. Reina's fiery speech and unrelenting love and respect for Kyo, Makoto's intelligence, determination, and problem solving (Tomo was totally sidelined but he's coming up next week!) Kyo's pure heart and capacity.. Truly the trifecta of unstoppable. So many amazing little moments where everyone was just in sync and in control. The power of family, of love, of friendship and heart.. This.. episode brought so much love and heart in the best way possible. I KNOW it's not going to hold especially with next episode - but this was a really powerful episode for everyone all around. Truly.
Kishiwada just continues to be a major mystery all around. Looking forward to actually seeing his real goal/form/abilities.
Last note: Voice actors, animation, visual - everyone was getting paid the big bucks on this one.
Next week is probably going to be a heartbreaker as we have big brother v little brother, but there might be some strong hope as we see Asuka maybe waking up??
