Angemon, Angewomon, and MagnaAngemon all have a rock-paper-scissors advantage over dark Digimon like Phantomon, Myotismon, and Piedmon, since the second season showed they had no special advantage over other types. You see something like that with Zudomon, as his Vulcan's Hammer attack could crack MetalEtemon's armour, but not Puppetmon's mallet (which also repelled WarGreymon's metal gauntlets before it was easily crushed by Garudamon's claws).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-21292746359302553682015-06-17T22:01:57.033-05:002015-06-17T22:01:57.033-05:00But of course.

Zudomon was the last Ultimate to debut aside from the two angels, and Ikkakumon was the last Champion to debut aside from Angemon. So it's really no surprise that at just about any stage, Gomamon was second only to Patamon in capability (except for Rookie, where he was largely situational but ultimately was probably second to Palmon in utility). Yes, I'd even put Zudomon ahead of Angewomon. The bit where she took out Myotismon's first form was nice, but debut appearances always result in a victory (well, almost always--Garudamon had the misfortune of debuting against a major villain who was <i>also</i> making his debut) and her only really meaningful victory beyond that was against LadyDevimon. Zudomon was instrumental in taking out a <i>Mega</i>--SaberLeomon may have struck the final blow against MetalEtemon, but he wouldn't have been able to pierce MetalEtemon's armor without Zudomon's help. Again, this puts Zudomon in territory pretty much only reached by Patamon's digivolutions. How many times in this season has a Digidestined's Digimon taken out a higher-level Digimon? There was Angemon beating Phantomon, Zudomon essentially beating MetalEtemon, and MagnaAngemon beating Piedmon (although technically the two Megas struck the final blow), and...well, right after Myotismon's defeat (before he returned as VenomMyotismon) we saw the Bakemon army reduced to such cannon fodder that the rookies were all able to take them 1v1. The rookies banded together to take out Champions on other occasions--Kuwagamon in the first episode and Shellmon right after they returned to the Digital World--but the Bakemon are the only ones I remember going down to a single attack from a single rookie.Cyberchao Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336972467955722928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-81368098277861097152013-12-23T04:48:29.939-06:002013-12-23T04:48:29.939-06:00You forgot to mention who got the first jab at Apo...You forgot to mention who got the first jab at Apocalymon.

A few weeks ago I went back and watched Digimon Adventure all the way through for the first time in years, so seeing these reviews going on around the same time was great serendipity. Please keep it up! Can't wait to read more.Dereknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-24184082267950223132011-11-19T04:25:15.665-06:002011-11-19T04:25:15.665-06:00"I'll ignore the fact that they never exp..."I'll ignore the fact that they never explain why time is now synchronized--"<br /><br />Actually, I think this was explained, at least in the original. The Digital and Real Worlds used to share synchronised time, but Digital World's time was thrown off the rails when Apocalymon appeared. With Apocalymon dealt with, time between the worlds is synchronised again and stays what way, as we see in Adventure 02.<br /><br />A great review once again. You were spot on, especially about what made this season ender different from all the others - the emotional and appropriately long good-bye scenes. I hope going through Adventure hasn't completely drained your energy and you'll keep going on with your plans to review every season. These reviews are always a pleasant read and I'd sure like to see every season thoroughly analysed.<br /><br />PS: I always thought it made perfect sense for Sora to get the hell away from Garudamon when she was firing Shadow Wing. I imagine it would be a messy end for Sora if she stayed on Garudamon's back when the giant bird covered herself in fiery energy, unless the girl became heat-proof at some point.Kackunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-62059215758027250182011-11-17T22:27:47.604-06:002011-11-17T22:27:47.604-06:00Good to see someone doing episode summaries for th...Good to see someone doing episode summaries for the series. Recently those of us in Australia were fortunate enough to have Digimon Adventures released to us on DVD through Madman Entertainment - was really good getting to go back through all the episodes we grew up watching.Samhttp://www.otakustudy.comnoreply@blogger.com
