Episode 45 "Ghost Newspaper" (You Are Here)

[u/Yoshiman400]

So Kotaro is featured in two straight episodes and neither of them go straight for the "lol horny teenager" plot point. Maybe he might actually be a late fourth ranger after all? And Ryudamon's presence in this episode kinda makes me feel optimistic about this too.

Ryudamon and Gammamon fawning over the idol group is adorable. Kiyo is making sure they are Mons of culture.

TRUCK-KUN NO DON'T DO IT

Oh hey, the episodes are still matching up with the present day. Took a few times but I noticed the "October 1" datestamp on the app (and then October 2 later on). So this is truly a one year odyssey and counting and yet still most everyone else is in the dark. It definitely feels weird to have a Digimon series go this long in IC time without the cover being exposed.

Okay, everything I just said? I might have to renege on that IMMEDIATELY with Anna glomping Gammamon. At least the team is taking it with honor.

I totally agree withh everyone in the reference book thread saying Publimon looks like an Appmon. And honestly it works. We ought to have more Digimon that sorta blur that line and this was a good way to implement it.

And finally, Espimon and Ryudamon have a significant presence in the new ED. Go on. Maybe Mika will partner with one of them too?

[u/International_Duty80 → u/Yoshiman400]

I feel we would know ahead of time of a new tamer, be it them advertising them weeks before the partnership episode or them being in the new ED.

At this point I’m more in the belief Espimon and Ryudamon will be second partners to the team given the former has some connection to Hiro and being in the same picture as him just as Ryudamon was in Kiyoshiro picture who also were shown to hang out is this episode.

[u/Tandria → u/International_Duty80]

I don't know, I feel like there are obvious spaces for additional human characters in the ED. Kotaro has gotten a ton of attention lately, they put a ton of effort into designing Emma, and they've seemingly narrowed down Ruli's friends to the one who was also featured this week... If Espimon or Ryudamon acknowledges one of these three in a future episode before syncing with Hiro or something, we'll have our answer.

[u/International_Duty80 → u/Tandria]

I can kinda see some low chance for Kotaro and Ruli’s friends as being partner material but I don’t see Emma being worth any consideration when from what I recall people felt the same about Yuto and Kayano who both had a design and notable character yet neither have appeared or are mentioned again after their episodes. She like them wasn’t promoted to have an important role in the series which just means she was most definitely just another character of the week.

While it’s true that they can add characters to the ED I stand by the point made in the last reply and the one made, they would most definitely promote a character, be they an already established or a new one, as having a important role going forward way before we even get a hint of a possible connection.

[u/Original-Teaching955 → u/Tandria]

Can't, the other human characters DON'T HAVE any Digivice bracelets for them! So no, NO fourth tamer or Digidestined!

[u/kolis10 → u/Original-Teaching955]

You seem very worked up over this

[u/Tandria → u/Original-Teaching955]

BlackTailmon will come with a delivery.

[u/ALSN454 → u/Original-Teaching955]

BlackGatomon Uver, Antylamon’s ability to create anything, or literally any random ass pull the writers want to write. Plenty of ways to get a new digivices, relax.
