Taichi and Daisuke come from the same universe at different times, yet nothing of Taichi's experience bleeds over into Zero Two. Were they mind-wiped when they went back? Also, Grani shows up here even though his part in creating Dukemon Crimson Mode involved dying, and if he was taken before the finale of Tamers to make this work, then it raises serious questions about whether the two had taken a trip while fighting D-Reaper, while having no impact on said fight. Moreover, if the clockmaker has this level of power in crossing dimensions, why did he wait until such a desperate time to use it rather than invoke it early on while Quartzmon was in its infancy?<br /><br />You've already said how the clockmaker's explanation was rushed and sloppy, but I'd say it's also kind of arbitrary and insane. For one thing, the ulterior motive for the hunt was clearly benign (preventing innocent Digimon getting captured, and ultimately stopping Quartzmon from taking over and reformatting the world). So why bother disguising it as a free-for-all Pokemon contest? It makes no sense to cloak honourable and understandable intentions with ethically dubious alternatives, especially considering the kind of crowd it did end up attracting. Reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park III, where the married couple try to convince Dr Grant to join them on the island (secretly to look for their son) by pretending to be rich thrill seekers. Yeah, that'll win the good doctor over more!<br /><br />Lastly, and I'll admit as much as anyone that this is more a question of my own taste than any deep storytelling problems, but isn't Quartzmon basically a shill for how powerful Bagramon was? Considering Bagramon was probably one of the most boring and overpowered villains in Digimon history, it's doubly irritating that they went back to that well again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404146364649730945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-56996572970048413392015-11-18T09:26:40.484-06:002015-11-18T09:26:40.484-06:00If you show a Digimon fan the whole battle against...If you show a Digimon fan the whole battle against the Myotismon army, I think just that will give them more satisfaction than the rest of "Hunters" put together.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293895522576883137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-13007777172711392312015-11-17T11:30:28.505-06:002015-11-17T11:30:28.505-06:00I do find it amusing that we get some sympathetic ...I do find it amusing that we get some sympathetic backstory and motives for Ryouma, Airu having learned to care about Digimon's well-being...and then we have Ren just staying a complete douchebag.
