Episode Three - "A New Digitude"

Summary

Davis, Yolei, Cody, TK, and Kari go to the DigiWorld to defeat the Digimon Emperor. When they get there, the Digimon Emperor attacks with a group of Tyrannomon. The three armor-digimon are outnumbered, so Cody, TK, and Kari head off in search of two digieggs the digivices reported were nearby. These digieggs have the Crests of Hope and Light on them. At their digimon's urging, TK and Kari go to the new digieggs. Their digivices glow and transform into the newer version Davis, Yolei, and Cody have. They then lift the new digieggs and Patamon and Gatomon armor-digivolve into Pegasusmon and Nefertimon, respectively. These new digimon defeat the Tyrannomon, and the new DigiDestined return to the real world.

Thoughts and Rating

After waiting a week between the previous episode and this one, I was glad to wrap up the transition from season one to season two. I had wondered what they'd show during Patamon and Gatomon's armor-digivolutions, and I was happy with the way it turned out. I love the new idea of an attack shared between two digimon, like Pegasusmon and Nefertimon's "Golden Noose." I give it a 9.

Nits

COMMERCIAL ONE
Elecmon is being chased by the Digimon Emperor in the beginning of this episode. He's obviously afraid and trying to get away. The thing is, the Digimon Emperor is alone. Elecmon could shock him with his Super Thunder Strike pretty easily. Once he calls on Tuskmon, there's a reason to be afraid, but before that he shouldn't have been.
At the beginning of the episode, there's no reason to believe that TK and Kari are part of the new group. Only Davis, Yolei, and Cody are obviously new DigiDestined, but everyone seems to include TK and Kari in that group before they get the new digivices and digieggs. Of course, if they weren't included, they probably wouldn't have gone to the DigiWorld in the first place, and there wouldn't have been an episode. ^_^
Halsemon's "Tempest Wing" attack is now something different from what it was originally. The attack he uses here will be later called "Eagle Eye".
COMMERCIAL TWO
"Tempest Wing" is again different. Digmon's "Gold Rush" is also different, but will be called "Rock Cracking" in the next episode.
TK and Kari never said "digi-armor, energize" after picking up their new digieggs, but Patamon and Gatomon digivolved anyway.
When Nefertimon and Pegasusmon show up at the battle and drop off TK, Kari, and Cody, Ken says he'll soon stop that armor-digivolving too. The Tyrannomon then all attack with their Blaze Blast. When it hits, you can see that it's the same place they were standing before, but suddenly only Nefertimon and Pegasusmon are there. The kids just sort of vanished for no reason.
"Star Shower" later becomes "Wind Mane," and then that later becomes "Mane Wind."
"Rosetta Stone" here becomes "Queen Paw" later on.
COMMERCIAL THREE
After the Tyrannomon are defeated, the Digimon Emperor seems to have vanished. He had been right there for the entire battle, but he's gone at the end for no apparent reason.
