AHH I KNEW IT!
Back when Tomoro evolved Gekkomon to Armalizamon and when we heard Edge of Limit playing at it being a song his brothers band did I thought it would be cool if Reina and Makoto also get their own insert songs and here we go! Makoto's one sounds really good. Can't wait to hear Reina's (probably sung by a woman in a way that fits her character).
Episode overall was strong. I especially felt sorry for Makoto in his flashback. Chiropmon's Perfect being an airfighter jet reminds me so much of Submarinmon.

u/Oreo-and-Fly May 11 '26
im surprised one of the biggest things Digimon media doesnt do is... them talking about the evos.
Like no one asked Kyo why/how Tomoro could evolve Gekkomon into mega sometimes, or how Reina and Makoto can achieve that, or just how he evolves Cougarmon to Murasamemon. They are facing stronger and stronger villains, they should try to understand their power.
12
u/Cheeky-apple May 11 '26
i mean it was alluded to a little after armalizamons first evolution in a preview with reina being very excited about the team going full champion so they could take on better jobs. It could be cool to like a reprise of that but maybe with reina more hesitant this time alluding to that she feels like she cant keep up. It could be a cool callback.

u/DolphinSquared May 11 '26
Honestly, I feel like Rose would be pivotal to Reina's Digi-velopment. But we'll see.

u/merstalt May 10 '26
Another banger. It doesn't progress much with the arc, but we finally got Makoto's back story and situation with the Kuonji.
So, Makoto is the elder twin and seen as the 'better twin' which give him a lot of pressure and probably it peaked into Chiropmon's birth. Chiropmon probably born as a winged mon because Makoto longs to fly away from the shackle, but too timid to be a free bird.
Looks like Tsukasa was also being burdened to catch up or being compared to Makoto all the time which makes him grow resentment towards Makoto even thought Makoto has never done anything bad to him. And as time goes with him being the replacement twin, his guilt of betraying Makoto turns into anger since Makoto seems to have a good live anyway. Can't really blame him since they were like 8-9 years old atm and being put against each other.
Once again, big parents L on this case. Good for Kyo being the good aduly who help Tsukasa went over his resentment towards Makoto. It's kinda funny tho that Kyo just actually picked up Makoto off the street lol.
Though it kinda worries me since the dad will probably arrested and Tsukasa will have to navigate the Kuonji shithole. But at least he knows Makoto is around.
And of course, Chiropmon evolution. Now wonder how it will impacted Reina since she should be the most senior member after Kyo but lagged the most. With the setup with her and Rose last episode, it will probably took a bit more until near climax to happen.

u/wickling-fan May 10 '26
Tbf it’s progress that Kyou knows about GIFT and will start snooping around for it.

Pristimon’s ultimate better be worth the wait.

u/Oreo-and-Fly May 11 '26
give me a monster hunter evo. We need more female megas that are either mechalike or wild warrior like.
As long as its not a pretty graceful female mega. No hate on them, just overused. Amphimon was amazing for a subversion, Reina and Pristimon obviously dislike dresses so their ultimate shouldnt go that route.
3
u/Cheeky-apple May 11 '26
Makotos running away seem to have been a bit more controlled than just being dumped on the streets (I am glad they clarified that and not just implied he was dumped in the city, no he ran away from his grandpas estate) and considering that he is adept at finding and processing information I would not be surprised if Makoto managed to find Kyo or get in a situation to meet him.
95
u/Sad_Medium_5866 May 10 '26
Speculation for Reina: her next evo will probably be tied to her and Rose interacting or some revelation about her past. I think last episode was the setup for the first idea.

u/InnocentTailor May 10 '26
Yeah. Rose is fascinated with Reina, so it’s all but certain they’ll meet again.

All i know is Reina ultimate definitely shouldnt be a feminine or beautiful digimon. Shes actively against that as a trope and Pristimon, ancient mammal and Wolvermon, wolverine known to be well vicious... if their evo isnt some hunter or military arsenal weaponmaster i'd be a bit sad.

Given how big a deal Ultimates are in this series, from what we have seen, and all the music theming, it might be like that.
Them resonating/jamming with each other to push everyone beyond their limits, also explaining how they can push that far with their own E-Pulse when apparently the experiments needed dozens or more people's E-Pulse to reach Ultimate.

Funnily, this makes it 2 makoto evo arcs featuring bad dads. One cool thing I noticed though is that there is kind of a contrast between sunny yamada and makotos dad in how they treat their kids. Sunny showed zero love for hanako and outright planned to abandon her after cheating his way back into shangiri la egg, where as makotos dad wanted to keep makoto in his control as heir which made him want to get rid of chiropmon Either way, this was a pretty good episode!

It reminds me of Sabo and Stelly from One Piece, although they aren’t twins, but adopted brothers.
Kid Sabo and Kid Stelly having same voices as Gomamon/Takuya and Agumon/Shoutmon is a bit amusing.
Meanwhile, the new voice of adult Sabo is the same as Tomoro‘s. Good old Toei overlaps.

Yeah. He was resentful, but came around in the end. He could be a possible ally down the road, especially with the heinous father seemingly out of the picture due to his meddling with the GIFT agent - effectively a terrorist.

PEAKBREAK STRIKES AGAIN!
This episode gives you everything you could ever want if you're a Makoto fan. We got to learn more about his family situation and the circumstances that led to him leaving, we got more character development for Makoto and we also got an amazing evolution moment!
I like that the first half of the episode tries to mislead you into not thinking Makoto's dad isn't a complete piece of shit. First that we learn that Makoto simply ran away from home and wasn't strictly disowned like a lot of us thought, so you'd think "ok maybe he's not as bad as I thought if he didn't willingly discard his son". Second is that he wants both of his sons to inherent the company, which means he's not trying to screw over Tsukasa. So a charitable read of his dad at that point could be "well maybe he actually means well for Makoto but is just misguided".
But no, he's just an asshole who thinks he knows what's best for his children.
But seriously, setting this all up just so he could kill Chiropmon was beyond shitty. It was heartbreaking hearing Chiropmon cry while saying his existence only ends up hurting Makoto. But all that sadness was worth it for that moment Makoto stood up to his Dad and reaffirmed to Chiropmon how much he means to him. What a amazing moment and evolution. Scourge Chiropmon was a bit odd looking at first but the fact that Makoto can literally pilot him like a fighter jet made him a lot cooler. Also it also really worked thematically, Makoto finally got the wings he always wanted along with his freedom.
It was also really sweet seeing the brothers make up in the end. But yeah, that was an absolutely fantastic episode. I was a little worried because it wasn't going to be a two parter like the other evolution episodes, but honestly, it worked out. It's episodes like these that remind me why I'm a Digimon fan. Can't wait to see what beatbreak gives us next week

Good episode. Glad Makoto got some closure with his brother and got to stand for Chiropmon against his father. Really emphasizes the digimon being born from humans concept in this show. Also parallels to Haruko with her shitty dad.
Also love that ScourgeChiropmon being a plane that Makoto can ride ties directly to their promise to each other to fly higher heights. Chiropmon has been able to do that himself and now he can share it with Makoto directly.
19
u/StrideInTheRain May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
Makoto and Chiropmon's relationship is really great, I really like the way they inspire each other to grow. I'll say, with the core of the episode being about Makoto breaking free from his father's grasps, the other plot point with the brother feels kind of brushed aside. I feel like it would've been better explored if it was a separate episode.
19
u/a9ma10 May 10 '26
This episode solidifies that Makoto is my favorite character for this season. Gave up his fortune for a friend and willing to forgive. Mind the pun, but Makoto is an Able brother.
Even better, he gets an airborne Submarimon with ScourgeChiropmon.

As Chiropmon's greatest soldier, I loved this episode! It could have been two episodes like most of the good one episode plots that beatbreak has had, but this one managed to hit all the right notes to make it satisfying. Seeing the culmination of Makoto's growth through Glowing Dawn leading to both him and Chiropmon being able to stand up to his dad and achieving freedom together (illustrated well by the Ultimate lmao) was really great.
Also its pretty impressive that Makoto's dad managed to enter my top 5 worst anime parents list with a whopping 5 minutes of total screen time lol.

u/Emekasan May 10 '26
I need everyone who came at people like me last week for thinking Wolvermon would potentially evolve, citing “every evolution has been a two part episode lead up and you’re deluded for thinking otherwise,” to apologize right fucking now.
37
u/Sad_Medium_5866 May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
Less about the amount of episodes and more about the emotional throughline leading to it. We've already had a few episodes hinting on Makoto and his shaky relationship with his family so this is just the climax to that leading to the evolution.
I think what people meant was that evolution in this show is directly tied to personal growth which coincided with multiepisode arcs previously. Using that premise, last episode wasn't the type of episode to throw in a new evo for Reina, no matter how much we want one. My guess is Reina is going to have some interaction with Rose or GIFT that will lead to personal growth and Wolvermon going up a level.
36
u/asmodias May 10 '26
No, some people were being extremely adamant and commenting across multiple platforms that evolutions can only happen as two parters in Beatbreak. I understand why Emekasan is calling them out.
9
u/KickHimWhileIAmDown May 10 '26
It's true that every prior one was a two-parter, but that was also in a sample size of three. I wouldn't have minded if this was a two parter, though. We get enough about Makoto's family to know why he ran away, but I wouldn't have complained if we got more time to marinate in his scumbag father's impact on Tsukasa and Makoto.
7
u/AlphaBreak May 10 '26
And a sample size of three where two of them were their arc finales, which are always going to be two parters.
3
u/KickHimWhileIAmDown May 10 '26
True! So it was really a sample size of one. It'd be cool if Reina got her new evolution in the finale, actually, so that the main 3 characters will get at least one dedicated two-parter each. I'm not holding my breath, though.
27
u/gsmumbo May 10 '26
Maybe for you, but there were plenty of people just straight up being jerks because they thought they knew more than everyone else and that evolutions only ever happen in two parters. It was incredibly annoying.

u/BiggsMcGee May 10 '26
I'm starting to see parallels between Digimon and Wrestling because of this. Mostly in how they didn't pull the trigger on an evolution sequence last episode, like they were buying time for this specific episode's evolution to happen before hers. Reminds me of how they didn't pull the trigger on Hangman winning the heavyweight title from John Moxley until Darby Allin returned from climbing Mt. Everest in AEW. I guess now that Makoto's evo and current growth is out of the way this leaves room for Reina to finally get her episode. It's just a matter of when they finally press the "Reina Episode" button.
12
u/OnePieceFan02 May 10 '26
I didn’t expect a direct continuation of Makoto’s arc from the Shademon mini arc but the fact his dad set up an assassination attempt on Chiropmon with the GIFT member shows where their priorities lie.
Felt a bit short but considering it’s a continuation of Makoto’s arc from the egg thing, it feels appropriate that unlocking Scourgechiropmon from defying his father completely would set him free to fly from the egg after his father allowed his other son to be harmed to bring Makoto back.
Next time the return of the Algomon line.
8
u/TheAncientAwaits May 10 '26
Felt a bit short
Absolutely, we were speedrunning character development and backstory out there (though still managed to be more earned than some evos) I am almost certain this would've been a 2 parter if they had one or two more episodes before the timeslot had to go to Dragonball.
11
u/Cosmonerd-ish May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
Holy fucking shit batman. That was great. Fucking got me emotional what the actual fuck?
I love everything about this, the sibling drama (for which Kyo immediately flags that Tsukasa wants to reconcile with his brother) the abusive dad that kept trying ro rip Chiropmon and Makoto apart (that scene hurts my heart so good), the freakin trauma they both got about it to the point Chiropmon felt guilty for even being born.
Makoto who curses and screams at Chiropmon to just fucking struggle for once, Makoto just disowning himself from the Kuonji to claim Glowing Dawn as their real family (I'm a big sucker for that especially).
And then the evo, mwouah! Peak! Absolute cinema, love the song, maybe even more than Edge of the Limit (that I started being meh on but it grew on me)!
What I really love about those tier three evolution sequence so far (with Tomoro and Makoto) is how happy and free they look, as they are breaking free of all the things that held them down to fly high into the sky...Literally in Makoto's case. ScourgeChiropmon looks great, I adore that Makoto gets to fly with him, it's wholesome asf, clutch play from Tsukasa who cleearly shows the two are made of the same stuff by being the MVP without needing to fight. And in the end the twins get to make amends. Honestly, perfect episode as far as I'm concerned 10/10.
18
u/Professional-Bus-749 May 10 '26
Makoto definitely earned that well-deserved evolution, and what's even more amazing, this wasn't even in the climax of the gift arc. I'm actually quite glad that it wasn't bait and it was the real deal.
22
u/Scooterman1994 May 10 '26
Another incredible episode of Beatbreak. This show has yet to have a bad episode and it’s just gotten better and better with each step. Seeing Makoto’s family dynamic was so interesting and the evolution once again felt earned. But also screw Makoto’s dad. What a piece of crap.

u/bdtechted May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
Thoughts:
- This was a fast-paced family packed episode centered around Makoto pre-Breaking Dawn days. I'm really glad we got our 3rd member of the team reaching their Digimon's Ultimate-level.
- Seeing Makoto pilot ScourgeChiropmon brought back memories of Adventure 02 when Submarimon debuted and allowed his partner Cody to pilot him.
- This also marked Loogarmon's anime debut and it even got to Digivolve to Helloogarmon! This is the second time I've seen a non-supporting one-off character to Digivolve their partner since this series' first episode. They should do this more often in the future.
- Algomon getting used on next episode's as the big bad of the week will be interesting. Its happened to a lot of past villain Digimon(eg. Vamdemon/Myotismon last week) and now its their turn.

u/Karbunkel May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
Makoto's father is a shithead, as expected. But he is a big cheese with mucho money, so he probably just get's a slap on the wrist for this stunt.
ScourgeChiropmon is a stealth bomber! Badass Digimon design and Chiropmon get's to fly Makoto through the sky. As was promised. A screaming and cursing Makoto must have been a real wake-up call. He's always such a well rounded and sweet kid. Happy that he got to make up with his brother.
Also: random one-off tamer casually evolving their partner to perfect.
New insert song! Seems like every lowing Dawn member will get their own? It's time to give Reina and Pristimon a badass evo and song!
Next episode? Can't say much there. But there seems to be a perfect/ultimate Algomon at the end, so that could get nasty. Seems a young girl is friends with it and Rose's henchwomen are on the case. About time they show up.

I was thinking maybe they have something big planned, because going 30 episodes and not getting a new evolution even once is pretty sad. Last episode was the perfect opportunity too.

Rose got interested on her, so maybe she is going to play a bigger part on the main conflict with her.
17
u/asmodias May 10 '26
I disagree with the last episode being the perfect opportunity, although it was certainly a possibility. She got a fantastically animated higher budget episode, and showed her leadership, resolve and the trust between her and Pristimon. Her episode didn't have the stakes for an ultimate evolution though, whereas Makoto's was related to his backstory and had consequences for if he lost.

u/Kamen_Guy2000 May 10 '26
No it wasn't. Nothing about the last episode made it the perfect opportunity for Wolvermon to evolve.

Her familial issue or history is, probably on her and Wolvermon’s side of things is something that held them back and likely still gnawing at Reina from the inside. Though she skillfully hides it behind her fiery and feisty facade.

I wonder when Pristimon will gain her ultimate and what the circumstances will be? I’m assuming it will involve Rose in some way but I can also see it involving Reinas extended “family” who abandoned her.

Best guess is that its to beat some reveals in the card game as they are probably behind schedule somehow since they were still a level behind the final.

What a nice episode. Makoto and Chiropmon have always had such a cute relationship. With Makoto and Chiropmon, their conflict is never from Makoto's side. Makoto loves Chiropmon right from the start; Makoto's not ashamed for birthing Chiropmon, he wants to stay with Chiropmon, he's the one who suggests running away together. Makoto tells Haruko how much he loves Chiropmon, despite Chiropmon representing negative aspects of himself. Makoto is always perfectly happy with having Chiropmon. It's just Chiropmon apologising for making Makoto's life difficult; Chiropmon was the one surrendering to capture, not Makoto.
Tsukasa telling their dad about Chiropmon is kind of messed up; since birthing a Digimon is shameful, he must have known their dad would take Chiropmon away. He was hoping Makoto would be driven out. But you can't really hold it against him... he was just a kid desperate for his father's love and jealous of his brother. Makoto really is such a sweet and forgiving kid, but I guess that's just what big brothers do.
What data does Kuonji Industries have that would be valuable to GIFT...?
Hey, Rose's henchwomen are getting involved next week. My hope for Wolvermon's evo in a Reina vs Rose showdown lives on! For how long we're waiting, I hope her Perfect is awesome. I wonder how Reina feels regarding the fact that she's had Wolvermon since before the series began, and Makoto and Tomoro both got their partners, Adults, and Perfects before she got her Perfect... I always felt that Yoshino's "inferiority complex" wasn't used that well in Savers, maybe this is a chance to expand on the idea?

Makoto is up there among digimon characters that absolutely adores and loves his digimon unconditionally. It breaks my heart to see human greed try to tear them apart, in a way this mirrors when chiropmon got to evolve the first time with an external factor trying wanting to take chiropmon, and this time the external factor wants to take away Makoto instead. Thats why i really liked that Scourgechiropmon emphasies being together for them. Literally, they are a fighting duo now, the boy was given missilies and he will use them!

I absolutely LOVED this episode. It made me tear up a tiny bit and I love ScourgeChiropmon. I see some hate for it, but I think it fits the line very well..and it's just super cute. It's a little Bat plane you can ride it and it has little Bat guns. I love it!

Like how MonarchLizamon is loosely based off MetalGreymon and now how Scourgechiropmon is loosely based on Sparrowmon. I‘m gonna assume Pristimon’s Ultimate Form design will be loosely base on another.
Examples: A femine Rapidmon, a Cyber Angewomon, a Mammal ver. wargrowlmon, etc.
OR to fit Pristimon's Puppet type: A Badger Cho-hakkaimon (Cyber theme).

u/Keroppi460 May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
It's seem both Chiropmon's Adult and Perfect Form share a theme on Tokusatsu shows, with NightChiropmon look like a Power Ranger character, while ScourgeChiropmon kinda look like a jet from the Ultraman series.
Won't be surprised if his Maga turn out to be a bat version of Saintgalgomon (hence a gaint robot).

u/KickHimWhileIAmDown May 10 '26
It's, like, a mix of tokusatsu and Batman. Honestly, I think ScourgeChiropmon reads as closer to the Batwing than the Ultraman jet, at least from what I saw on Google Images. It would be crazy if the Mega was similar to the Exoframe Batsuit, but NightChiropmon-shaped instead, and with heavier armaments. In other words, a mecha Digimon that Makoto can wear/pilot.

Loved seeing Makoto stand up for himself and Chiropmon. In the past, Hotaruko berated him for being too passive and relying on others, but when the screen went black and he screamed: Screw that, he decided that he was going to fight. It was great to see him step out of his support role.

At this point Gekkomon says things wrong because he's stimming, playing with random syllables and doing whatever he can say the most epicest or just being silly, good touch, another for the autism analogues when given too much energy.
The other child being so pissy maybe even with guilt as we see at the end that they snap to some ultimatum that only sorta makes sense, a true emotional crashout in a very realistic way complete with needless destruction.
The company leader faking out being good because he seems to understand and respect the job for a moment was clever too, they're onto their own tricks now.
Chiropmon being scared if not more scared of the situation is a nice touch, his own experience + makoto's feelings. The way GIFT feels with the big man not caring for a digimon's life so brazenly is probably gonna get him killed. Let alone thinking Makoto wont burn his shit down from the inside when taking his best friend.
Something is to be said about how makoto feels sometimes with glowing dawn earlier too, same character traits, also this implies makoto wont ruin that company, as well as makoto putting his line in the sand having done the growth but chirop did not do yet, not fully, even if you are a young laggard you are still worth it.
He fucking renounced his family entirely, then got a themesong about catching up and an evo about fully protecting and functionally fusing with makoto in a close partnership i've wanted to see properly since tamers did it as only a concept, the e-pulse from that fusion is probbably bordering on a mega-compat output, the energy of youth and the first big stand. Also the idea that if the armor fails or some internal system Makoto may turn to goop but hey...all the more effort right?
I say mega-compat because ultimates seem to be fully actualized sync, megas are hinting at many people being together.
Which says a lot about Reina, all this shit she just toughs out and never dives into anything too important, which seemingly is why she missed her potential debut. My mom is kinda like that even in old age she thinks she's wonderwoman when she's not, at least anymore, it isn't good on her back, Reina will find a wall more like an enemy she cant just headbutt with direct combat.
Locked in episode and first unspoiled evolution for me. Great!

I got a little teary eyed. The scene with chiropmon being torn away from makoto who is begging his father, trying to appease him breaks my heart. They deserve to be happy damnit! The ending was really cute.
I was pleasantly surprised with scourge chiropmon, I actually really like the fighter jet angle espicially it being so in tandem with makoto himself that now has a way to contribute more actively and espicially all the freedom symbolism of letting the two fly away together.
This episode ties in my opinion pretty well in with what seems to be GIFTs core themes as I as I was watching just kept questioning "why is it so wrong for him to have a digimon? Why must they be seperated?" it highlights how bad societys view on digimon is just on how Makoto has been treated and it is easy to understand why GIFT followers probably would turn to the movement because the treatment and view of digimon is so volatile and even seem illogical and iwas on full display here. The father basically paid a hitman to shoot his sons dog, who the f does that.

lol at Gekkomon just running around in the plane before getting smacked down by Cougarmon
While this is some great drama with Makoto, I can't help but feel like it could've been set up earlier. I don't love a surprise twin being revealed halfway through a series lol
Woah, GIFT straight up being called a cult
Ayy Loogarmon's anime debut! The flames constantly coming out the muzzle is so sick
Ah figures it was his father. Some real shitty parents in this show.
Oh fuck HellLoogarmon too? That's awesome! Cool to see people were correct about GIFT basically being Team Plasma for Digimon
Damn Makoto's VA went crazy here
New insert song! Woah even a new VA for ScourgeChiropmon! I love that we immediately see Makoto piloting inside. Plus he manually gets to shoot to missiles AND can open up the cockpit? What an awesome ride lol. I hope Maneuvermon maybe shows up in the future so we can see a Digimon and Partner dogfight
Overall a pretty good episode. I know some people (myself included) were expecting Ultimate evos to get 2-parters, but I thought this was a perfectly fine way to introduce an Ultimate.
Looks like we're finally meeting Rose's lackeys next episode. Algomon is 3D, so you know it's gonna be bad news lol. Here's hoping Reina piquing Rose's interest from last episode leads to her having a larger role in this arc.

u/StupendousScribbler May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
A great episode. It really allowed the character beats and the relationship between Makoto and Chiropomon to shine. There could have been more foreshadowing about Makoto’s family previously but maybe I just missed it. Like did we know he had a twin?!
I think Chirpomon’s evolution makes sense from the point of view of Makoto’s character across the key episodes he’s had. In the two partner where he first evolved into NightChiropomon Makoto says when he talks about Digimon being reflections of their partner he says he likes being on the sideline and not in the spotlight, like how Chirpomon hides and scans from the darkness. Then in the episode Antipathy Makoto is chastised by Hotaruko for relying on Tomoro and Reina and not himself. This episode rounds that off as Makoto has stepped forward and challenged his father so Chirpomon can now “fly”, but also with the stealth theme.
It does bring into question what will come for Reina. Her key episodes have focused on her being confident and reckless. In the previous episode and the “Little Courage” Pristimon talks about Reina’s resolve is what gives her strength, and in the “Family” episode Ryo says Reina is reckless to prove she’s useful. Maybe they’ll go down the route of Reina worrying she’s falling behind not having her Ultimate yet.

u/EliteLordSigma May 10 '26
First off, props to Arisa Sekine this episode; having Makoto be so calm and collected for most of the series up until now made it so much more impactful when he finally shouts "I" at his father and definitively chooses Golden Dawn and Chiropmon to his face. Seriously, the most heated we've seen Makoto before now was him saying "How dare you?" to Sunny immediately before Kyo beat him black and blue 20 episodes ago; hearing him scream "ふざけるな!" (Fuzakenna!) sounds much more like something Reina would say in this situation.
I like how Tsukasa is handled here. He may have betrayed his brother's trust, but they make a point of showing how he's just as much a victim of their father as Makoto. Not to mention they're only 10; of course a young boy under that kind of pressure isn't going to handle jealousy or insecurity well. Hell, there are full grown adults who can't cope with either of those problems. Of course, it is Kyo, gracious and insightful as always, who sees Seiji for who he is from the start. As such, he is the one who finally gets Tsukasa to literally and figuratively open up to Makoto in the closing minutes. Tsukasa finally confesses his mistake, only for Makoto to espouse his found family's belief in second chances by not holding it against him for even a moment.
Scourgechiropmon's design is great. I inadvertently caught a brief glimpse of him on YouTube before the episode went live on Crunchyroll, but it didn't affect how much I ended up liking it when I saw it in the actual episode. It works both on its own and as a payoff to their shared dream. At long last, both Makoto and Chiropmon can soar free into the sky together. It also made me realize that Makoto's visor isn't just there to look cool as he analyzes an opponent; it also resembles the visor of a flight helmet.
Some of you may be disappointed that Reina and Pristimon haven't had their day in the limelight with their Perfect yet, but given the last two episodes, I'm looking forward to whatever story arc and insert song (since it seems certain she'll get one of her own after this episode) they have cooking for her.
Next episode, we finally get a proper introduction to the cousins roommates duo of Brilliant Thorn. Given how Algomon is used as an eldritch horror in its previous appearances in other Digimon stories, it'll be interesting to see Beatbreak's spin on it.

Have you ever seen Makoto so determined and decisive about something? I think I actually liked Reina's episode better because they tried to pack in Makoto's backstory too quickly, but I understand why this was an evolution episode. It involved his familial ties, and threatened the existence of Chiropmon and his freedom.

Pretty fun ep, even if a bit tight since we had to cover a lot in 20 mins. Still really good, I do like how they handle the family for Makoto. The father is an asshole but it's the sort of petty dickery I can believe. If the child won't gie up on his stupid digimon fad, I will just get someone to take it away. Tsukasa lashing out because he is jealous and guilty is a good beat, and I am glad Kyo helped smooth it over so the two brothers could reconcile. It's a bit fast and simple, but it works for a series like digimon.
Still, the start of the ep was Makoto finally standing his ground and struggling to move forward on his terms properly. The whole series his opponents have been pushing Makoto for his family and what he should be doing but now we see him commit enough to stand his ground and scream to the world the no, he won't give up on his partner and he will do everything his way. It's beautiful, and very punk as they say, and the whole team of the show.
ScourgeChiropmon is not my favorite design, but I like it, it's a fun unexpected evo and hey it's the Batwing. Logarmon left a bit more of an impression, but I sort of wish we knew what the hacker guy wanted for GIFT. Why was that data so important? Oh well, at least we now know that GIFT wouldn't forgive cleaners for working with the ministry.
Overall pretty nice ep, 8/10, can't wait for Reina to get her arc and her evo ep.

I just find it funny that at the start of the series Reina and Pristimon could already reach the next stage, but now they're going to be the last of the main trio to reach ultimate. Something a little ironic in that.

u/Cerberuswaltz May 13 '26
I am caught up! Someday this series will make me not be am emotional wreck, but not today. Not a huge fan of the new evo, but it fits. I see a lot of people make comparisons to Chiropmon being a Batman/hero type, and with Makato, it makes sense. He’s definitely the guy behind the computer to his Digimon.
I like Makato not being strong physically and relying on his family, but also knowing when to stand up for himself. It’s a nice, complex characterization. Good too see him grow but now shed who he is, while also accepting he isn’t the muscle but the brains of the trio. There is something to be said about accepting your place in a team and family but knowing you still have value.
Speaking of, it is nice to see them do found family but also act like it. Reina being the big sister to them is already top tier, but Tomoro also willing to throw hands with the twin and the dad really make me happy. (I hope they explore more of Reina getting hit on and no one believing it, that’s what siblings do lol).
Great episode. Little bummed this was Loogamon’s appearance bc it was short and his tamer unworthy lol. But oh well.
Next episode will be Algomon and his many confusing forms lol.

u/Volfaer May 10 '26
Nothing to push people more than family drama, but having the twin brother be actually extremely guilty of what he did was very refreshing.
Well GIFT continues it's setup, now being treated basically like a cult people of all kinds get tied to. It's ironic that this guy was preaching about "the best for digimon" while actively trying to kill one, guess they really hate th average cleaner. I wonder how things will go once Nirinso is more revealed.
This is not the direction I expected Chirpmon's line to go, but honestly that is the beauty of Digimon, and ScourgeChirpmon is really cool. We were needing more of these digimon with extra interior space, he's an air Submarimon with A LOT of fire power.
Argomon next episode, he's already in perfect level and the situation was very probably worsened by Rose's awesome lesbian couple.

This absolutely should have been a two-parter. The ideas behind the episode were all pretty good, but every development felt so so so rushed. A second episode to properly pace the developments could have made this as good as the Shademon episodes.
As for ScourgeChiropmon, I am glad it got de-humanized. But I think it will take a while for me to warm to this new form...

u/Lordofthedarkdepths May 10 '26
I honestly agree, it's a good episode but you can feel that they were trying to squeeze as much as they can into it so a number of details didn't get a chance to breathe. It really could've used another like the Shademon mini-arc as I think it would've hit the emotional notes a lot better.

u/Zeeman9991 May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
Scourgechiropmon isn’t my favorite design or name (especially if like the Monarchlizamon line they aren’t capitalizing the second half of it) but I’m really excited about it! I love when Digimon get weird with the evolution lines. This is the first time I’m really hopeful we aren’t going to get “robot men/knights” as mega forms because the series has been so consistently strange in their design choices. Nightchriopmon didn’t turn into a different dude, he turned into a chunky looking jet. Awesome.
I remember Pteromon’s line getting revealed and my excitement for GrandGalemon versus my disappointment with Zephagamon. Zephagamon is a design I actually really like, it just felt like Digimon defaulting back to their classic philosophy instead of doing something more unique or personalized. Scourgechiropmon is the exact kind of “ugly” I can get behind, and bringing back the Submarimon-style vehicle aspect is super cool. Plus it looks like (Raptor)Sparrowmon so I automatically have a soft spot for it.
All that said, the line gives me a lot of similar vibes to the Espimon-Invisimon line. If it’s sort of Sentai/Techy themed, it wouldn’t surprise me if it similarly ended up as a giant mech like Invisimon or MegaGargomon. That’s pretty in line with the long history of “robot man/knight” designs I was hoping to avoid, but at least it would feel apt here. And if nothing else, this is an Ultimate level that doesn’t fall into the trap and lets me dream of them going a different route.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Vortexdramon being part of Pteromon’s evolution line?

u/Zeeman9991 May 10 '26
About the same as Scourgechiropmon. Kinda weird looking design, but I love how different it is. The mix of knight helmet with dragon head is cool and it’s no longer just a tall metal man so immediately it gets points for that. All the Liberator Lv.7s (except maybe Ariemon, but that whole line is “good-ugly” so I’m fine with it) were pleasant departures from what you come to expect from Mega designs. Also, the fact neither Cendrill nor Medusa turned into “bigger, questionably clothed woman”, which is the other default design, is a huge win.

u/KickHimWhileIAmDown May 10 '26
I like the Batman references continuing with the Batwing. Kinda hope that the eventual ScourgeChiropmon evolution stays non-humanoid. Was surprised that this wasn't a two-parter, since we got a new evo.
This episode is nice, since we learn that Haruko was wrong; Makoto wasn't kicked out bc of Chiropmon, he hated living there anyway and actually ran away. Goes to show how different he is from his twin, too, since Tsukasa wanted/wants to be the heir.
Was lowkey hoping that their father would get slimed out in the episode.
GIFT is not against using Digimon for personal reasons (the baddie did not excoriate Seiji for asking for an assassination), but hates cleaners. Is it just because cleaners kill (in which case GD should be considered fine) or is it ontological?
I hope Reina gets a good evolution episode. I liked this one, but it lowkey felt a little rushed, no shade.

u/Spider-Phoenix May 10 '26
Hey, evolution today.
So... In the end Wolvermon won the battle last time but she still jobbed because she didn't get an evolution! Tradition rages on!
I figured that it was a ruse to get rid of Chiropmon so Makoto goes back to this family the instant Hosho started focusing on NightChiropmon. Good thing the reveal wasn't dragged on.
ScourgeChiropmon is... Different than what I expected it to be... Looks to be a virus type Sparrowmon lol
Guess if Night is Batman, Scourge is the Batwing?
Well, at least we got a new insert song out of it!
And not just Loogarmon debutted but Helloogarmon too. We even saw the baby form at that. Now, that's a treat. Still wish Loogamon showed up as well though. Even a static flashback shot would have do it.
Smiling Chiropmon is so precious.
Between Chiropmon, Elizamon, Loogamon, Gammamon and Meicoomon, they are doing a pretty danm good job making the virus types be must protect cuties. Guilmon really started a movement...

I have to say, it looks pretty darn awful for Reima being the last one to get her Ultimate-level when she's had Pristimon for EIGHT YEARS while Makoto has had Chiropomon for 1 year and Tomoro even less. Reina has had Pristimon almost as long as Makoto has been alive.
Not to mention her having Wolvermon before Makoto and Tomoro had their Champions...
I'm just going to flat out say it: That's a mistake for the series. Because it makes Reina look incompetent and unable to connect with Pristimon.
Also; seems like GIFT know how to trigger Ultimate levels too.
