In this episode, Ken learns that forcing Greymon to evolve is still a very bad idea.

In this episode, the Digimon Emperor reveals himself as Ken Ichijouji, whose strategic stupidity is rivaled only by Davis's tactical stupidity.

In this episode, Kari is stranded in a hostile city and TK and Davis are off to the rescue. Davis gets jealous of TK's Digimon while his sister gets a date with TK's brother.

In this episode, there's an Utena spoof. That's really all you need to know.

In this episode, Cody learns that with enough dedication and preparation, he too can be as cool as... Joe.

In this episode, Davis and Veemon manage to save the day by royally pissing off everybody in sight, then taking vicious beatings for it.

In this episode, some final thoughts on Digimon Adventure and its second ending “Keep On.”

In this episode, it's time to say goodbye. Yeah, you too, Palmon. Get with the program.

In this episode, gag dubbing, a clip show and time to reflect on what the kids learned this season. It's as awful as it sounds.

In this episode, the gang's back together, but Piedmon systematically takes out one kid at a time until only TK and Kari are left. Yeah, he's screwed.

In this episode, angst! Tons and tons of angst! We got your Matt angst! We got your Sora angst! We got every kind of angst! On sale today!

In this episode, Joe searches deep within himself and reali- DUDE! Two hot chicks in a catfight! Awesome!

In this episode, a little girl gets possessed by spiritual forces and entices monsters to do her bidding. Isn't that the plot of The Exorcist?

In this episode, IP tracing is insanely effective in the Digital World, but so is blowing everything up. Also, the heartbreaking flashback to rule them all!

In this episode, Leomon dies. Better get used to it.

In this episode, a second team requires a second villain, so Etemon is dragged out of retirement with a new coat of paint. Ogremon's return isn't nearly as gaudy.

In this episode, come for the epic Matt/Tai showdown, stay for the massive info dump that spawns as many questions as it answers.

In this episode, Matt is convinced to turn and battle Tai. It's either a profound decision worthy of deep critical analysis or souped-up melodrama. Either way...

In this episode, the stress is finally reaching a boiling point, becoming almost as big a problem as Puppetmon. Puppetmon seeks to correct this by setting up a little playdate.

In this episode, hide and seek has never been more fun! Guest starring Whamon as the submarine and MetalSeadramon as the enemy Soviet commander.

In this episode, the only sign of encouragement is that the team is getting stronger. Then the team falls for a tired old trick and is barely capable of fending off a simple flunky.

In this episode, the Digimon evolve... and evolve again... and again... and one more time for good measure. It doesn't help.

In this episode, the ultimate weapons against VenomMyotismon are forged by combining the virtues of hope, light and shounen ai.

In this episode, two Digimon take forever to die. One gets time for a heroic send-off. The other is apparently an RPG final boss and has a second form to chew more gameplay hours.

In this episode, Joe's goddamn action hero act finally pays off. Matt and Sora try it and are far less successful.

In this episode, Myotismon closes in and the whole town goes nuts. Four of the digidestined's parents become goddamn action heroes. Joe would be proud if he wasn't stranded outside all this.

In this episode, Gatomon and her loyal tag team partner Wizardmon turn on Myotismon. Myotismon's too strong for them... but here comes Greymon with a folding chair! Oh my God!

In this episode, the Tokyo Tower is having another bad day.

In this episode, Tai's cat manages to get a nightclub destroyed and throws off everybody's scent at the same time. More importantly- Izzy's mom has got it going on!

In this episode, downtown Tokyo proves to be just as perilous as the Digital World, with crazy subways, babies, crowds and hunger pangs. And yes- the infamous hitchhiking scene.

In this episode, the gang is back in the real world and returns to the old stomping ground. A Mammothmon literally stomping the ground stirs a pretty damn important anecdote.

In this episode, Myotismon forms a plan that succeeds so splendidly, it isn't until the very end that his side even bothers to fight back against the charging digidestined.

In this episode, Sora has mommy issues. Deep, crippling, kinda irritating mommy issues. It's a good thing Myotismon decides to show up because seriously...

In this episode, Mimi is totally a diva, Tai and Joe are totally tone-deaf, Palmon is totally stupid and Sora is either a ghost or totally breaking and entering. Also- the first Japanese ending!

In this episode, Izzy turns in his curiosity and loses the ability to question anything. We're still free to ask the one big question- what the hell was that all about?

In this episode, a snafu in accepted currency leads Joe and Matt down the dark path of indentured servitude and the seedy underworld of restaurant operations.

In this episode, it's the Demidevimon show! That rambunctious little scamp tries to get TK to abandon and forget about his friends. It's an awful way to achieve his real mission.

In this episode, Tai arrives in the real world, which has a higher animation budget, better shading and a creepy little sister that knows way too much.

In this episode, Tai's recklessness is heralded as a good thing this time. He's rewarded by getting sucked right out of the Digital World.

In this episode, some thrilling plot twists and philosophical questions about digital avatars battle strange dubbing errors and suspect animation. It's a good fight.

In this episode, an ancient master offers to train the digidestined. Every training scene cliché is pulled out except the 80's movie montage. That's why they didn't learn anything.

In this episode, Sora and Mimi run around wearing towels as they battle a giant cock monster who had hardened his male opponents. Yes, this is still a kids show.
