Annoying as his speech patterns and giant nose are, he was at least competent and persistent, which is more than can be said for Arbormon (despite one or two moments), and certainly more than can be said for Ranamon. The only reason he loses here is because he wasn't counting on Whamon interfering, or on the sudden appearance of a Beast Spirit.<br /><br />I did like that scene in which Mercurymon keeps mum on his plans for the Seraphimon fractal code, and then shows up Ranamon when she starts getting nosy. It's a pity he squanders his genius later on, but he sure gave off the cold and calculating mastermind vibe early on.<br /><br />"He also completely owns Takuya and Koji because they thought that they wouldn't need their beast spirits to take out a horde of Golemon. That's a sloppy effort out of those two, and really the only reason JP's services are even necessary."<br /><br />Now, that doesn't seem fair. Granted, it's fair to criticize them for not breaking out the Beast Spirits once Arbormon starts beating them up, and especially when he Slide Evolves into Petaldramon, but the two of them were beating up the Golemon competently enough as it was.<br /><br />I like how Arbormon has some kind of New York accent thing going on. Makes him thuggishly threatening and "dumb muscle" comical at the same time, which is kinda awesome. He's got nothing on MetalKabuterimon, though, but then he doesn't have Steve Blum voicing him.<br /><br />I'm not sure if the Whamon in this episode is voiced by the same actor who voiced him in Adventure, but they sound the same. Whamon was a hoot here. Reminded me of Dom DeLouis a little bit.<br /><br />Lastly, I agree the narrative was a bit weak on dramatic potential, but it still had some nice character moments from JP and Zoe, and giving it a C+ feels a bit harsh. It had a decent sense of closure on the Grumblemon arc, and it's not like we know how the Spirits got scattered around in any case, so I wouldn't fault it for that. I still enjoyed your review, though, and thought you made some good points about the injuries and Spirit Evolving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086806519830822483.post-19487798399222296112013-02-21T23:23:09.561-06:002013-02-21T23:23:09.561-06:00Maybe they were riding on the outside in case they...Maybe they were riding on the outside in case they needed to make a quick stop in case they were assaulted much earlier. Seeing as at that point, Takuya and Kouji were the most powerful members of the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
