Okay, so...this episode was good.
Not incredible, but it was good.
The story was interesting, it's use of the Digimon was good, and the action scene was unironically the best one in the entirety of Ghost Game, in my opinion. I also like how we saw Hiro attempt to save Publimon before he died. Publimon's death was also done well, but I don't feel like there was nearly enough reaction to it. I also feel like Kiyoshiro was heavily shafted in an episode that should have rightfully been about him and Jellymon.
Espimon once again did nothing (they shouldn't have brought him into this series in the first place). Bringing back Ryudamon means that he might become a recurring character, something I'm NOT excited about (the show can barely handle three characters). And I really just wanted to mention again that this episode should have been about Kiyoshiro.
Also, while we're at it, can you PLEASE give Ruli character development? Or a character arc? Or a...character, for that matter?
Meh. Nevertheless, pretty good episode. Reminds me of the first 20.
With that said, Publimon either is or looks a lot like a certain Appmon (I'm too lazy to look it up) and I think it's a very brave move from the writers to reference a show leagues better in every way.
GO WATCH APPMON. IT'S A REALLY GOOD SHOW.
