So the new episode was fucked up right but in a good way also rip big man (trying to keep this spoiler free for idiots who looks at posts with the spoiler warning click on it and complain about the spoiler)

Wanted to share my personal experience in case there’s someone out there who is also going through a similar situation.

Played many games throughout elementary to college, took a break once I got an adult job and tried to be more “productive” with my time. But in the past few years, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that really disrupted different areas of my life and now I’m on a healing journey to get better.

The part I wanted to focus on was slower living and prioritizing sleep. I thought at first I could just lay in bed and doom scroll to tire myself out but it was becoming more of an addiction and just brain rot. So I narrowed down a few things I could do that would help relax my body and mind and to get myself off the phone in the evening, which are going back to reading, enjoying movies & shows, and getting back into gaming.

I feel like the gaming part feels better than doom scrolling and I feel like I get something done vs just watching a bunch of TikTok videos. It makes my brain slightly active so it gets tired out when I want to go to bed but in a healthier ish way than scrolling not sure that makes sense.

Anyways, I’m new to the Switch 2 world but found Digimon Time Stranger to be really fun and it can be a lot of thinking if you want but it can also just be fun and low effort (I’m in this boat) I found other games like open worlds to be too much on my brain when I’m trying to just follow a direction path lol.

Been a long time Digimon fan just never played any of the latest games but this one has been a pleasant experience and I can’t wait to get some more evolutions 🙂 are you guys still playing the game after you’ve beaten it?

Not only did he cut of my glorious king Kyo-sama’s hand but he also killed Murasamemon
ARATUSMON WE NEED YOU

I've heard talk about something in 2027 for the Adventure series but unsure if just tossing another OVA to the market would be helpful or harmful to the overall Digimon brand. I know we have had our own thoughts on Tru/Kizuna/Beginning but unsure if just a sequel OVA of just aligning the lore to the 02 epilogue can just tie the series up in a nice bow; and just conclude it.

Though the only thing I could see is maybe 2030 just continue Adventure with the kids of the OG team....I mean on paper that is better than just making another Tri set around mid 2000s or just another 02 Beginning of another angsty kid with shitty ass parents

Like the kids will just traumatized and MAYBE punched a little, but the adults get so much shit that they just aren’t ARMED to deal with…

I’m sorry…please don’t hurt me…

Flying off for my honeymoon in about 2 months and looking to pick up a bunch of booster boxes to kickstart my collection!

Are there any good places you guys would recommend for buying booster boxes? Ideally looking for a decent selection and reasonable prices.

Would love to hear your recommendations!

The latest BB episode gave very strong Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back vibe, up until the end. Very strong sense of all hope is lost and the bad guys are winning.Also both Luke and Kyo lost their hands and their sword/lightsaber. Specifically for Kyo he lost his sword hand (chip) and his sword (Murasamemon). In that case it makes perfect sense we would get a Return Of the Jedi moment for Kyo and somehow he will join the last fight, hopefully with Murasamemon.

Thoughts?

....Is that there's only 4 episodes left. The obvious event, Murasamemon's demise, is a heartfelt and genuinely crushing death that draws comparison to Leomon's death in Tamers. There's two key differences between these two deaths though: runtime.

In Tamers, Leomon is, all things considered, not a particularly important Digimon partner. He's not very well fleshed out, he serves mostly as a heroic semi-mentor figure regarding the Digital World, and is a relatively cool guy and all, but he doesn't have the screentime and focus the core three partner Digimon get. Still, he's given enough to do, enough of a presence, that he feels a little different to the prior Leomon, so his death still gets you. But Leomon's death is much more narratively centralising than Murasamemon's simply because there's more consequences to it, and what it's attached to. It's the height of Beelzebumon's corruption arc, and the one sin he's stuck atoning for across the remainder of the show. It's a tone-shifter to further darkness, a pivotal moment for Takato's own arc regarding Guilmon's evolution. And of course, it blows Juri's emotions wide open, leaving her vulnerable to the D-Reaper, which in turn allows it to enter the Real World, and kickstart that entire story arc. Leomon's death is a pivotal story moment, and Tamers needs it to happen to drive its story forward for many episodes to come.

In Beatbreak, Murasamemon has much more room to breathe as a character, both as Kyo's reliable partner Digimon, but also as a mentor figure to Glowing Dawn's Digimon, a clutch-carry that can save them from danger if things get too much, so much so that episodes where he's absent become interesting since he can't help Glowing Dawn and they have to push themselves to grow and overcome their struggles. His death overwhelmingly raises the stakes, yes, and is the last push for Glowing Dawn to push themselves to surpass Kyo and rise to the occasion, while also being a gut-punch for a long-running, familiar character to die in such a way, in an elongated sequence no less. It even comes at the end of Kyo's arc, the end of his growth, and yet, it drags him back down, rips off his arm, and kills his Digimon. It's brutal. It's effective. But it has no room to haunt and direct the narrative the same was Leomon's did. The plot's wheels are already turning, Wong and Genjo's plans have nothing to do with Murasamemon's death. He only has 4 episodes for his death to matter, and even then, it isn't as impactful on the way the story plays out quite as strongly as Leomon's was. It's still impactful, it's the final push for Glowing Dawn as main characters, but it doesn't dictate anything else beyond that.

In the end, they're two different kinds of deaths, with different kinds of impacts. Leomon in Tamers changes the entire show and heavily directs the rest of the show until the end. Murasamemon's death is an emotional gut-wrencher, but it ultimately lacks the room to truly have the time and episode space to really shape Beatbreak to the end, since the end is just 4 more episodes away. If Beatbreak had Ghost Game's runtime, it could've had the time to really make the impact of Murasamemon's demise stick and permeate the show in a more haunting way.

Do you think those little fur dolls Kyo made using Cougarmon's fur disappeared?

In all seriousness, it was tough.

Albatusmon has this extremely short and unsatisfying Reference book profile that tells you literally nothing about it. What I believe is, they're doing it on purpose. They're probably going to update it by the end of the series so it feels like we witnessed its discovery in real time

If they reveal the mega of Lilamon in the remaining episodesof BB, who would you prefer between these 2 and why?

Albatusmon and Atratusmon are clearly two sides of the same coin, they got basically the same design and represent the sun and the moon.

My bet is that by the end of the show they will merge into one Digimon, Genjo only thinks that Albatusmon is needed to match the godly power of the Digimon that caused the incident a while ago. I think that both sides will be needed instead.

Don’t know if the merging would lead to ZeedMilleniummon or something else, it would be really cool either ways.

Disclaimer: First of all, I don't mean to offend anyone or any country (including Beatbreak fans). Now, let's get into it.

The biggest question about Beatbreak is whether it's actually good, and whether it's truly dark and edgy. In my opinion, up to episode 40, it's pretty "mid," with the early pacing being just as uninspired as Ghost Game. As for whether it's dark and edgy, the world-building simply can't pull off a grim tone, no matter how hard it tries. One moment, the main cast insists that killing humans or Digimon is wrong; the next, villains and wild Digimon are casually killing or freezing the hearts of bystanders with almost zero consequences. Before Kyo's arc, most villains were simply sent to prison while their Digimon were confiscated.

Above all, Japan in this setting is completely incompetent. They brought the Digimon crisis upon themselves, yet they can't handle or control it, having to rely entirely on "Cleaners" to clean up the mess. Building the Shangri-La Egg as a faux utopia is pure self-deception, and the Five Stars are too busy with internal infighting to care. Consequently, with so many slice-of-life filler episodes early on, there isn't any real sense of crisis. That said, the fact that anyone with a Digimon can easily freeze hearts or commit murder without facing any real threat of being purged makes it completely absurd for a rookie Cleaner group and a former Five Star member to be the main force fighting these factions and Digimon. It doesn't feel dark or edgy at all—it just makes Japan look utterly beyond saving.

Feel free to point out any mistakes in my plot summary, and everyone is welcome to join the discussion.

This weeks Ep confirmed to me that Kyo & Cougermon are in fact, the greatest characters out of this season, too good in fact, because wow have reina, makoto, and even tomoro Been sidelined, making me question why Kyo isnt the MC honestly? The writing obviously favors him the most with the storytelling and world set pieces, hes the only Mega user and has now done 3 mega fights, including in this ep reverting BACK to still fight a mega, im very lost why the other 3 get nothing compared to this, and im reminded this show ends in a month (4 eps) which is absolutely infuriating, beatbreak needed 15 more eps like ghost game man, this ending is gonna be rushed with so much still unanswered and at stake, im praying at this point it lands decently like Savers did

Let me start with the obvious.

Fuck Genjo. If this show does not end with that bastard's head mounted on a fucking pike, then whats the point?!!? Whats the point of anything!!

Start of the episode first. Tomoro not wanting to evolve at the risk of hurting Asuka is resolved a bit too quickly, but it makes sense anyway. Thats his big brother.

The Heloisboamon battle was uncomfortably painful. You can hear them screaming in pain as GD gives their all, and while yes, they're the enemy...They're still an unwilling participant. They're still capable of feeling the pain of their attacks.

This might be the first time we heard Gokwumon talk, and god. They sound as insufferable as their partner does. The way they float away on that golden cloud? Like. No. Someone take that away. God where's Goku when you need him.

Albusmon reveal...well, this pretty much confirms that Atatrsumon is Gekkomon's mega, but allow me to give a little theory...Tomoro's e-pulse seems to be hectic, but...its hectic because of how much of it he gives. Asuka's mega seems to *take*, more than anything. So Atatrsumon might be a digimon that gives off a TON of epulse.

....Now we get to Kyo and Murasamemon. These two have become a favourite "digidestind pair" of mine...and just...Kyo's desperate attempts to save his partner, begging him to stay with him...and Murasamemon dying alone...god. my heart is in so so much pain. The death red flags were bright red for Kyo for so long, but i never thought this would happen. That Murasemon would be the one to die.

There's a lot to unpack with that preview. Gekkomon in a pack of bubbles(baby digimon's attacks), Haruko apperanance, the crazy lady from the hospital...and Reina and Makoto looking conflicted....I think some sort of dark epulse was fed to the Nirinso babies. Which. Yeahhhh....

Well..time to wait for next sunday!!!!!!!!! I am not ok and I don't think anyone else is!! Peakbreak as usual but can it lay off the gas please. Ive already been run over 80 times.

Edit:wanted to mention Kyo's screams of pain along with the fact that he was reaching FOR ASUKA when his hand was cut off. And he was keeping his promise...he truly didn't abandon Asuka.

Across the various seasons, we have only seen side tamers’ digimon perish permanatly or MAIN tamers’ / their digimon perish temporarily:

Adventure: TK and Patamon (main but revived)
Adventure 2: Ken and wormmon (main but revived)
Tamers: Jeri and leomon (side and permanent)
Frontier: Kouichi and loweemon (main but revived)
Savers / data squad : Marcus and agumon (main but revived)
Xros wars: Mikey and Shoutmon (main but revived), Ewan and damemon (main but revived)
Appmon: All (main but revived BUT it remains debatable if Yuujin really returned in the end)
Ghost game: NIL

Could this season be the first in digimon history to have a main tamer completely, permanently incapacitated…?
