Despite Shakkoumon being incredibly powerful against [=BlackWarGreymon=], [=BlackWarGreymon=] seems utterly determined to destroy the last Holy Stone, believing that the answer to his life will come forth if he does so. Daisuke comes up with an idea: have the Jogress-evolved Digimon hold [=BlackWarGreymon=] off and have the Holy Stone moved to a safer place. Archnemon and Mummymon jump out to attack them, but Digitamamon and Bakumon push them aside, telling the kids to protect the Holy Stone.

Before departing, Qinglongmon tells them that [[ManBehindTheMan there’s someone Archnemon and Mummymon are working under]], and that they need to fight off this true evil before their job is done.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalDumbass: In the dub, it's Cody who suggests moving the stone, not Davis (but the kids reacting to Daisuke's suggestion is still in there).
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Through the arc, [=BlackWarGreymon=] has managed to beat everyone he's been up against. Once Qinglongmon shows up, he sends him back with a single blast of light. And this is ''after'' being severely drained by being sealed away.
* ButNowIMustGo: After filling the kids in on a lot of stuff, Qinglongmon disappears again, explaining that he's still not recovered his strength.
* EnergyAbsorption: Shakkoumon manages to hold off [=BlackWarGreymon=]'s Terra Destroyer, then absorbs it.
* {{Handwave}}: Why can't the original kids digivolve their 'mons to Ultimate? They gave up the power of the Crests, even though Apocalymon destroyed the physical versions, and the finale established the kids didn't ''need'' the physical versions to harness that power.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite destroying the Destiny Stones and nearly wiping out the Digital World, [=BlackWarGreymon=] is allowed to go on his way by everyone. Qinglongmon, despite being annoyed at him, simply answers his questions and lets him be. Admittedly, he's now dispirited and no longer desires to destroy anything.
* MomentKiller: Ken unintentionally brings the mood down with his brooding.
* {{Motormouth}}: Azulongmon in the dub delivers his exposition in rapid fire.
* NoodleIncident: How the Dark Masters sealed the Harmonious Ones away in the first place. In the dub, Azulongmon just says it occurred after a long battle, which raises more questions given he just swatted down [=BlackWarGreymon=] like a chump.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Iori glomps Takeru in joy, and at the end of the episode pigs out on dumplings.
* SkewedPriorities: The source of Daisuke and Miyako's fight over dumplings. Never mind that there's a giant mountain of other dumplings she could easily take, she insists he's taken ''hers''.
* TheUnChosenOne: The Harmonious Ones did chose Daisuke, Miyako and Iori, but Takeru and Hikari weren't part of their plan. Once it turned out Patamon and Gatomon could use the Digimentals same as the other three, they just ran with it.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Or the Digimon equivalent. For all [=BlackWarGreymon=] is literally MadeOfEvil, Qinglongmon doesn't hold it against him, merely noting the circumstances of his birth don't define him, merely his choices.

!!Japanese Title: ''Gigantic Ultimate, Qinglongmon''

Despite Shakkoumon being incredibly powerful against [=BlackWarGreymon=], [=BlackWarGreymon=] seems utterly determined to destroy the last Holy Stone, believing that the answer to his life will come forth if he does so. Daisuke comes up with an idea: have the Jogress-evolved Digimon hold [=BlackWarGreymon=] off and have the Holy Stone moved to a safer place. Archnemon and Mummymon jump out to attack them, but Digitamamon and Bakumon push them aside, telling the kids to protect the Holy Stone.

The kids hold their [=D-3s=] at the Holy Stone, hoping that it might get the Holy Stone to move. Instead of moving it, however, it summons the Digimon who had appeared every time [=BlackWarGreymon=] had destroyed a Holy Stone. [=BlackWarGreymon=] wants to fight him, but the Digimon, named Qinglongmon[[note]]Azulongmon[[/note]] berates him for having destroyed the Holy Stones and explains that he is one of the [[TheFourGods four sacred beasts]] who protects the Digital World, holding the spheres of Light and Hope.

Qinglongmon tells [=BlackWarGreymon=] that, being a Digimon made from a hundred of the Dark Towers that are sealing his powers, [=BlackWarGreymon=]’s existence is darkness itself. Archnemon and Mummymon, arriving on the spot, reveal that their true purpose was to destroy the balance of the Digital World with the Dark Towers, having used Ken as a pawn to become the Digimon Kaiser and build Dark Towers for them. Archnemon then tells [=BlackWarGreymon=] that this is why he was created, and therefore has no need for a soul. Qinglongmon tells [=BlackWarGreymon=] that only he can find the reason for his own existence, and [=BlackWarGreymon=] goes off to search for it while Archnemon and Mummymon chase him.

Qinglongmon then turns his attention to the kids, and Miyako remembers [[Recap/DigimonAdventure02E33AChanceEncounter what Sora’s father had told her in Kyoto]] about the four sacred beasts. Qinglongmon explains that the four beasts were sealed by the Dark Masters, but then [[Anime/DigimonAdventure the Chosen Children came to their world and defeated them]]. The seal was only broken when [[Recap/DigimonAdventure02E27FusionConfusion the children sacrificed the power of the Crests to break it]], and that the 1999 Chosen can only have their Digimon evolve to Perfect level with the help of the four beasts.

When the Digimon Kaiser had begun to build Dark Towers and inhibit evolution, the four beasts had used the power of a “lost ancient evolution” - armor evolution - and sealed three Digimon with the power to use them (V-mon, Hawkmon, and Armadimon), sent the [=D-3s=] to Daisuke, Miyako, and Iori, and when it became clear the D-Terminals could store more than one Digimental, they sent three more Digimentals over to help the kids. In addition, they had also transformed the Crest of Kindness into [[Recap/DigimonAdventure02E20TheDarknessBeforeDawn a golden Digimental]] in order to induce Ken’s HeelFaceTurn.

The lecture is interrupted by [=BlackWarGreymon=] screaming and rising into the sky, and Qinglongmon hopes that someday [=BlackWarGreymon=] will find his answer. He tells the kids that he will plant “seeds of light” where the Holy Stones once were, and that the seeds will grow and take the place of the destroyed Holy Stones in stabilizing the Digital World. Ken worries that the powers of darkness might accumulate and create another “sad life” like [=BlackWarGreymon=], and the other kids are able to tell that Ken is thinking about how he himself made Chimeramon with the powers of darkness. Takeru tells him that [[BalanceOfGoodAndEvil there will always be darkness as long as there is light]], and the best thing to do is to never lose focus of the light inside oneself.

Qinglongmon continues the InfoDump: the power of the Crest of Hope is what embodies the ability to never give up on the light, and explains that the specific Crests of Light and Hope were the ones that were responsible for freeing Qinglongmon from his seal. He goes on to explain the special properties of Light and Hope: Hikari and Takeru had the unique ability to use Digimentals despite the fact Tailmon and Patamon were not among those Digimon able to use the “ancient evolution”, and thus had their Digivices turned into [=D-3s=]. Qinglongmon refers to Light and Hope as the powers that keep the Digital World alive and save it from darkness.

Before departing, Qinglongmon tells them that [[ManBehindTheMan there’s someone Archnemon and Mummymon are working under]], and that they need to fight off this true evil before their job is done.

The kids return to the Digitamamon’s Chinese restaurant, who gives them free dumplings as thanks for their help. Takeru offers Ken a dumpling and asks him to eat with them, which he happily accepts. While Daisuke and Miyako fight over dumplings, Leafmon tells Ken that eating with friends is great, to which he agrees.

After the kids return to the human world, Daisuke for a moment thinks he’s just seen a Dark Tower in the real world...
