----------------------------------------
They're definitely protraying Gammamon as an underdog so far in the show but he can also be vicious when he's angry.

Interesting to see Ruri being more relevant this episode. I guess they're giving all the protagonists their relevant screen time and role. She shouldn't be underestimated.

Another great episode. Angoramon kinda sounds like Wufei from Gundam Wing, but different voice actor. I love to see how even rookie level digimon can be a major threat to the city. And it looks like this won't be the end of Dracumon, either.

Another good and thrilling episode. Angoramon and Ruli joined the Ghost Game. They are such a nice duo.

This episode had a pretty good start and an interesting idea but I didn't like how it progressed and its ending was underwhelming
It also had many off-design and weird faces.

Most importantly, didn't Mummymon touch people freely as he wanted in episode 2? Unless I'm missing something, 3 episodes in and we already have a plothole lol

The weakest episode among the three so far, hopefully the next is better.

I'm mixed on this episode. On one hand the horror part is done really well here. The fact that they chose a rookie level Digimon for something so scary is interesting, showing that digimon are capable of much more than just their signature attacks. Angoramon was also super likeable, being somewhat shy but a badass while fighting. While I didn't like his design when it was leaked it looks surprisingly good when actually fighting.

But it's the whole "materializing" thing that bothers me. According to Angoramon Digimon can't interact with solid matter (except appearantly the floor for some reason) until they materialize. Yet both Clockmon and Mummymon seemed to be able to interact with solid matter and humans, and even make themselves visible. Not only that, they seemed to be able to choose when to do so too, like they semi-materialized at will. It's just odd to me. Maybe it's because those two are stronger than simple rookies, but still. I guess I'll draw a conclusion in the next episode, since it has pumpkinmon seemingly interacting with solid matter.

Curious to see what the writers have planned with Dracmon.

I was thinking Dracumon gave up his eye a bit too easily. Now I see why.

For my first Digimon anime, this is quite enjoyable.

Perhap it has to do with their level. Clockmon and Mummymon are Champion and Ultimate level respectically so maybe they can interact with human better. If i recall Gammamon also invisible to Hiro's eyes until he activate the digivice

Digimon cannot touch humans directly,they can use their abilities against them. Unless they materialize of course.

That is why Mummiemon could use his bandages and transport humans through his bandages.

Clockmon only could use his attacks against humans.

I liked this one! But I do have to ask: Why are the official subs writing Ruri's name as Ruli? Is that what the Japanese producers told them to go with, or is that just an error on Crunchyroll's part? I know Ruri is an actual Japanese name, so I'm not sure why they're spelling Ruri's name with an L.

Re: Mummymom and Clockmon. I feel like Digimon can materialize and dematerialize at will if they know how. They might be able to materialize parts of them, too. We'll probably see this with the protagonists sooner rather than later, since Angoramon isn't easy to hide.

Dracmon probably isn't strong enough/didn't figure out how to materialize yet. If he doesn't get a partner, I can see him finding a way to materialize in his next appearance.

Yeah, its almost impossible not to point out the plot hole about how the "materialization" is supposed to actually work, but besides that, it was a nice episode.

The fight scene though, i feel like it could have been a bit better, it felt too short, and the animation was a bit lacking through the episode as well (there was a lot of close-up shots that clearly were intended to save time animating, but i think they abused too much from it in this episode).

Guys, it's not a plot hole until the show ended without addressing it. It urks me a bit too but let's wait and see. The discrepancy is too obvious to be a plot hole. I hope it's something related to Digimon's evolution levels like some users discussed above. I'm just happy enough we're getting a story-engaged, character-focused Digimon show like the franchise's old predecessors instead of something with mindless battles and unimportant filler episodes like a certain reboot.

Here, bro. A screenshot from Digimon Wiki about her name. Tl;dr It's an official romanization from Toei.

Yeah, it's too early to call it a plot hole yet. The fact that Dracmon knows what materialization in the first place despite not knowing about the digivice implies that some digimon already have, or have started to materialize, such as Clockmon and Mummymon. And Dracmon is by no means stupid, he's evidently quite intelligent and a capable fighter too

This show is pretty good, though Gammamon is incredibly annoying. I hate how so many anime have to have irritating reactions to eating food, it makes me pray someone doesn't walk in the room due to extreme second hand embarrassment.

Technically it's not a plothole even if the show never addresses it. It's only a plothole if there is no possible logical explanation, it's irrelevant if said explanation is given in the show or not. And we already know there ARE possible explanations, people in comments above already gave two: it may be a level difference or it may be about that you need to learn how to do that first and not every Digimon knows. It may also be a mix of both. This itself disqualifies it as a plothole. It might change if something happens in the show that contradicts both theories, though.

About the episode:

Wow, that sure is a beautiful piano piece, no wonder Angoramon likes it so much. I'll be mad if it's not on the OST. I like how Ruri can already feel Angoramon's presence even though she doesn't have the bracelet yet, it shows that she's a fitting person to be partnered with a Digimon, not just some random girl who happens to be involved in a case.

The episode sure was spooky with Ruri's hands slowly disappearing and that one woman's hair growing like crazy. Again, the OST really helps here, all combined creates a great sense of steadily escalating tension.

I laughed a bit when Ruri honestly tried to Google how to get rid of something that is basically equivalent to a curse. But on the other hand it's the times we live in and it's not like it would hurt to try it. So I guess I'm overreacting a bit here.

I love that after an Adult and then a Perfect we get a Child level and they still manage to make him into a serious threat. This is how you write a story, first use the smaller guns and make them seem like they are the big ones so alter you can show off the actual BIG GUNS for a better effect.

I like how realistic Ruri acts, thinking Hiro is kinda fishy but still counting on him since he's the only lead she has. Also in the short scene with Angoramon (and also from his explanation that he is not trying to make himself visible) you can tell how shy he is and yet he decides to gather his courage to speak up, because Ruri needs to be saved fast. I love Angoramon's voice choice to be the same as Gaomon's from Savers, especially that the VA is doing a great job making Angoramon sound much more held-back and deep-voiced than Gaomon (despite the latter not being the most lively guy in the world already). Honestly I think he's even better as Angoramon, but maybe that's because of him being more experienced than back then (and also just older, I guess). I actually knew the voice soinded familiar and then I felt very stupid for not recognizing after checking the VA on MAL. By the way, anyone knows who is Dracumon's VA? I'm positive I know the guy but my stupid brain won't remember, lol.

Again I like Hero for being smart and collected, trying to talk Dracumon out of trying to materialize by using logical arguments. Though luck tho, this is not Adventure reboot so villains are actually smart XD

Ruri hugging Angoramon killed me with cuteness! Now that Mofumofu is finally part of the team, I'm looking forward to seeing (and hearing!) more of him <3

Now that they showed the 4th episode's preview, it's obvious why they haven't aired a week ago - they wanted the Pumpkinmon's episode air on Halloween. In that case I guess I can forgive them. Every episode of this show would be a perfect Halloween material, but pumpkins gotta be pumpkins.

So Ruri's got the big fluffy digimon Angoramon as her partner and Hiro has convinced Dracumon to stop pulling pranks for now.

After checking out the credits, it's this guy: https://myanimelist.net/people/344/Kouki_Miyata

The same VA as PicoDevimon from Adventure 01.

Dracumon is basically if 4chn was a Digimon. Lol

I felt like Angoramon's reason for dedication to Ruri was a bit weak for her to be won over so easily. I mean she was cautious with Hero up until needing him so why not a monster that materialized out of nowhere ? Would make more sense if there was some kind of backstory about her piano playing that hasn't been covered.

She probably has been feeling his presence for quite a while now, so she could be subconsciously forming a bond with him, as crazy as it may sound. Not to mention - what else was she supposed to do in that situation?

I think this season of Digimon is going to be more like Tamers where the kids will be part of their last form, I’m guessing because of the vital sign stuff. And I think Dracumon is gonna be the Impmon of this season as well, prankster that’s kinda evil and recurring that might become an ally later. And there’s only 3 mains so far each getting introduced slowly.

Angoramon didn't say that "digimon can't materialize and be seen by common people", he said that HE can't materialize because he doesn't know how (and doesn't want) to do it. Nor does Dracmon, apparently.

But until now, basically all digimon with a strong enough power were all visible to people (Clockmon, Mummymon, Pumpmon), so it most probably is a matter of power level/knowledge.
