I wanted to comment a few months ago that I thought it was weird that there were a lot of Shangri-La eggs in the background, I felt like I didn't notice that before, I thought it was just the one. Here's guessing that Wong is trying to use them to birth another Digimon god event by gathering "ideal humans" to birth a bunch of Digimon in one place.Episode 29 (Dangerous Fandom) Chiropmon: イケメンヴァンパイア (ikemen vanpaia; handsome vampire) Gekkomon: つけ麵三杯だ (tsukemen sanbai da!; three cups of tsukemen (noodle dish))FABULOUS, but mostly a buffer episode and it shows in the visuals and with the conversation at the end. Fine as a Reina episode but I think that the rest of Glowing Dawn felt unnecessary, where Kyou's only purpose for being in the episode was to inform everyone who Rose is. If Rose wasn't in the episode, it would be completely skippable.Episode 30 (Wings to Protect You) I feel like this would have been better served as the two-parter compared to the original Makoto Shangri-La egg story. It even feels like both stories could have been combined into one, with Tsukasa in the same role as Haruko. There's a very similar premise to both stories, where Makoto is drawn back home and a shady businessman father is using their kid to target Chiropmon. I know they said that they considered mentioning Makoto's twin as far back as episode 8 and 9 but decided not to since it wouldn't have amounted to anything then, but it does make this episode feel vestigial, and maybe like Tsukasa deserved more focus than Haruko. Overall I think that Makoto's background should be more relevant to what's going on in the story, but it hasn't really felt that relevant outside of his focus episodes.

Episode 32 (Cold Rain) And here I thought Panjamon was Maki's original partner. I can't believe that I never picked up on Hyougamon being an icy counterpart to Panjamon in the same way Ogremon is to Leomon. But I like the little Adventure references like that, or how the final battle of the second cour took place in a desert with the protagonist evolving his Digimon to a cyborg t-rex Perfect, or how the cast is in "Hikarigahama".The flashback stuff with Maki is really well done, her holding the knife to the guy's throat is the coldest thing in that room of ice, so cold that she can only shiver right after. Their relationship is handled well for something so short and I wish I could remember the name of those flowers she had so I could look up the hanakotoba. This is the only time I've ever been genuinely moved by a Leomon death.Overall this is probably one of the best episodes of Beatbreak if not the best so far, the storyboarding, animation, and direction are all really solid and the only thing holding it down is the GIFT stuff which feels somewhat tacked on to the real meat and potatoes. I really enjoyed how we got natural world-building details in Maki's flashbacks, from seeing the construction of the Shangri-La egg to the formation of Cleaners, it gives a bit of a timeline. Seeing Maki immediately go for the kill on Curimon (lol, Gammamon) with a fucking knife was expected but also required, and the emotion is just handled so well, especially for a character like Maki who has been relatively detached.

I checked the previous thread for comments on the episode and I thought the comment about Tomoro being the one to stop Maki was interesting. I also felt that although him being the one to stop Maki from deleting Curimon made a great contrast to the beginning of the series and how much he's changed, while also having some real poignancy, I also felt while watching that Tomoro wasn't the character to earn this role in the episode itself. This is a problem I have in focus episodes (particularly the Vamdemon episode) where the other characters feel mostly irrelevant to the plot and come in too late to really contribute. Tomoro-focused episodes tend to work a bit better because they feel more like they contribute to the narrative as a whole, but I still don't think he was relevant enough to this Maki story outside of being the main character of the series to do this. I almost feel like Kyou should have gotten it, but the narrative didn't build him up adequately enough as being relevant to Maki's past, even though Murasamemon being another Leomon expy and Kyou having Maki's and Panjamon's philosophy feels like it could naturally lead to that. I still think Tomoro could be the one to stop Maki, but that Kyou's meeting with Maki should have been shown earlier, maybe have her express some skepticism about people changing, and then have Tomoro stop her and have her see how much Kyou has changed him be what keeps her from going over the edge.I think that the best episodes are the ones where multiple characters get focus and significant roles, the coliseum cage match two-parter is a good example where both Glowing Dawn and Tactics felt important as characters. The Algomon episode ran the risk of Adventure:'s few episodes where the other kids sit in the park trying to be important while Taichi/Yamato/Takeru actually do something, but it just threaded the needle by letting Tomoro be the main character but having the rest of the team contribute in meaningful ways.

Episode 34 (Inside the Mask) Reina showing insecurity regarding Perfect from the very start of the episode feels like it's way too late and irrelevant to everything we've seen so far. I'm fine with Reina being insecure if she starts being mocked for her own weakness and sees further evolution as the only way to not be dead weight, but until this point, this has never been an issue. She and Wolvermon beat Vamdemon on their own. MonarchLizamon has been a thing for 10 episodes, we see them practically every episode now. It makes the writing feel very artificial and episodic when I wish we could have seen this part of her character appear from time to time. I'm fine with the content of the episode writing, just not that some aspects are only appearing now. It also feels unnatural for characters to comment on Reina and Pristimon not being able to reach Perfect when nobody did before, it's very telegraphed.An older sibling being compared to the sun further cements Kyou, a surrogate older brother, going from Venus to the sun. The moon reflects the light of the sun, showing an older sibling's influence, particularly on Tomoro.I feel like Tomoro and Miharu should have met more than twice for this reveal to him to be more dramatic. If each episode with GIFT had involved Tomoro having a conversation at the hospital or inviting Miharu somewhere where she can personally watch how he handles situations, I think their later connection to one another would feel more deserved. Once again, it feels less like an issue with the writing of this episode, and more like they should have done more in previous episodes where story content was lighter.

Episode 35 (Wild Instinct) Really good Reina episode, I think it was more interesting/original to watch than the Makoto Perfect episode. I thought the jet skates would look cooler though. Nice to see Wong start to be relevant again. I really hope this goes beyond four cours, because trying to put Kaito, Honoka, Kanada, and Wong all into one arc (especially one that would likely have less than 12 episodes) while occasionally bringing in previous plot elements like the big lore drops as well as Ultimate evolutions seems a bit crowded.I've had this thought for a while, but while Makoto makes for a fine supporting character, he feels like the weakest link. He's always there because they need someone for analysis, but he's not as interesting as Koushirou in Adventure, or the other Glowing Dawn members. While family is obviously a major part of his backstory, I feel it a lot more in everyone else's characterization. We've hardly seen Reina's backstory, just some hints of abandonment from her parents and relatives and having to struggle with Pristimon on their own, but I really feel like she's one of the elements that makes Glowing Dawn a family and truly appreciates it. Makoto never questions his role in Glowing Dawn, he just knows he wants to be there, while Reina has shown both insecurity in her role as both a fighter and slight mentor/sister figure and a deep desire to maintain this family.

Episode 36 (Twisted Code) I'm actually sitting here realizing that the whole "abduct Won while everyone else is distracted with Bombermon" plan doesn't make sense because Bombermon targeted multiple facilities. Why not go after Won during the Sapotama facility incident? Sure, maybe the final facility was the one that affected his route, but what if Glowing Dawn resolved the case before that? The timing just seems somewhat narratively convenient.Tsukasa returning so soon is surprising, I'm glad that he's appearing outside of his one episode, but I'm not sure if him being in this role is really necessary or the logical progression to what we saw. I wish more time had gone into speaking with Tomoro in the previous episode over what he thinks about this situation with Miharu and GIFT, because the impression I get is that they just didn't talk about what happened. But it feels like things are moving again now that the big players are showing up.Overall it was a fine enough episode. I'm unclear as to what literally happened involving Chifuyu. She's dead, didn't seem to get coldhearted, but did she kill herself out of guilt and grief? Her water bottle is on the floor, so it must have fallen somehow. It's also now almost entirely empty instead of half full, but the floor doesn't seem wet. It's still daylight when Miharu left, but she was likely out for less than an hour, so it's not like the water could have dried in that time. We see that it's 8:11 PM when she gets back, but we can't tell the time on the clock when she leaves. So did she drown herself with a bottle of water?

Only caught the latter half of the episode. Unfortunately, the ending of the arc was a real dud, and I'm left not feeling a whole lot about it as a whole, or like it really progressed the story all that much. I still think it's possible that the following arc will be good, but this was not an episode that made me feel much of anything, and that extends to the arc.

Missed out on posting my thoughts about the previous eps. Forgive the multiposts.Really good, really tense episode. - Liked the chase sequence. Somehow felt like classic Digimon. - Do I have brainrot, or was Miharu's app and the countdown a stealth Our Wargame reference? - Obvious, but the CG was Chifuyu's garden was beautifully rendered. - Really enjoyed the short exchange between Kyo and Rose. It was interesting how pleased she seemed at him getting a dig in at her. I get the feeling they used to do that a lot back when Kyo was in the Five Stars. - The flashback was so well done. And knowing what was coming made it all the more heartbreaking. Especially seeing a Wizarmon so much more lively and expressive than usual. As abrupt as the sequence was, but at the same time added to the despair and senselessness of Chifuyu's suicide. And Wizardmon's evolution was a masterclass in getting the most impact out of minimal animation. That probably would have messed me up if I were a kid. Just really well done. - As a side note, I was clearly wrong about Miharu being blind. Kind of weird to see her eyes were like that even in the flashback. You'd think they would take the opportunity to frame it as a visual cue for her grief changing her, but nope.
