Man, this episode is really something else. Wasn't expecting such Digimon that size and magnitude to appear.

It felt like watching two Godzilla-like titans in a duel.

Hikari episodes are always nice! Petaldramon’s sacrifice is going to be an important lesson for she and Angewomon going forward. The animation during the final 5-6 minutes was great too. Good job Toei

Pretty gruesome episode with all the impaling ion that kaiju fight, reminds me of Parrotmon VS Greymon in the series' 1999 Pilot OVA (dub movie removed those parts)

Petaldramon is like Torterra but with a weird design... well the ending was pretty good I would say even though it was bit sad, at least now they have their real forest thanks to him

This reboot continue to break all Digimon tradition I know. Usually the children have to intervene the battle and side with good Digimon, but not this, they just let wild Digimon fight until it's over.

Anybody caught the nods to Ghibli in this episode?

A nice sentimental episode this time, and Hikari got some character development instead of being silent most episodes.

The episode title is a giveaway LOLs.

Petaldramon, haven't seen that Digmon in quite awhile, and a good Digimon at that. This is similar to the one huge aerial Digimon episodes back in terms of story, and this episode giving Hikari some character development.

Entmon's decaying power vs. Petaldramon's forest power, the battle of the Ultimates that no DigiDestined can interfere (except Hikari). Petaldramon may be gone, but standing in its place is a new forest.

Bittersweet episode that churns out differently.

I think lilimon would have been a better fit for this episode, the ending is so similar to mimi's episode 12 against andromon. The ending scene with the blooming flowers reminded me of Togemon evolution to lilimon.
Angewomon's saint air was amazing! But she needs to start fighting, she is only supporting others.

Did the animation tank in the second half of the episode?

Petaldramon was a lovely and kind digimon, only complain I really have about the episode is that I wish we could have bonded more with it, hate how episodic everything is and it could have been "fixed" by making Petaldramon be the one who helped the kids instead of Eldoradimon.

As much as this episodes have improved it would be nice if the plot would go somewhere, I think nothing has happened in like the past 20 episodes.

This episode seems completely pointless. The story was introduced and resolved in one episode and the execution was as basic as it gets. You don't even get to learn anything new about the characters. It was kinda focused on Hikari and she acted exactly as you would expect throughout the whole thing - bland af. It really is just pointless filler at this point. lol

That was annoying, only Agumon even got an evolution cutscene

Finally we get the non-Agumon Mega, I'm losing hope that anyone else will get there

And Petaldramon didn't even have animation on it's face for the first 10 minutes

Usually this show is pretty entertaining to OK for me, but I have to say, this episode really bothered me. The death of petaldramon is very contrived. Incredibly contrived. It was completely unnecessary and frustrating to watch the kids power up their digimon only to Champion level and fail to save their big buddy. I always consider contrived deaths and other things to be signs of really bad writing. It would not have been difficult for the writers to create a more compelling story here. But we just get another random digimon that comes out of nowhere that, for no reason, the children can't save. Really didn't like this one. Not nearly as good as the previous episode with the adorable "mimigo!" stuff going on.

Petaldramon is a dragon plant digimon and it seem Entmon is a decaying plant monster. So it was plant on plant hate crime.

I did expect old digimon from other franchise appearing in this version, but not expecting them to be monstrous size.

It was nice Hikari character development episode.

My god, why they made Hikari looks so idiot?
Running in front of two Kaiju Digimon just for Crying and Screaming digimon name for Tailmon to Super Digivolve.
Can't you do it from far away? LMAO

Why do we back to Boring Episode like this ?
I'm almost fall asleep watching this episode.
Another bad writing episode...
Pointless and not Entertaining at all.

You got that right. It was incredibly annoying to watch her just standing there and being sad. And why would Angewomon not even help Petaldramon??? UGHH

Oh wow, Hikari actually stopped being bland for a change. This reboot did her really dirty until now, so I'm glad to see such a nice episode with her as the main focus.
I'm kinda sad we didn't get Nefertimon tho - Ponchomon (and especially Pegasmon) kinda got my hopes up.
It was nice to see Petaldramon again after Frontier & Entmon has a pretty nice design (which is kinda rare for "newer" evil coded Digimon). I also liked that all the kids and their Digimon got to fight the same enemy in their adult forms (the reboot mostly used their perfect levels for fights they all participated in).
It was kinda nice that they let Petaldramon do most of the fighting tho. The kids didn't really participate in this and I think that was a good choice.

Two good episodes in a row, never thought that would happen tbh.
There's no possible way you can steal my heart

I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy

A surprisingly emotionally resonant episode. I was left a but misty eyed by the end, which I didn't think would happen at all with this show, but here we are. RIP Petaldramaon. I couldn't help but think a bit of Yukio Oikawa from Digimon Adventure Series 2 all those years ago at the end there.
