Awesome / Digimon Adventure: (2020)

Considering this anime is not only a reboot of the classic Digimon Adventure, but was also made for the franchise's 20th anniversary, it only makes sense we get as many epic moments as possible from our new Chosen Children.

Episode 1

• Before Taichi^note Tai as he's known in English even met any of the Digimon or arrived in the Digital World, already he's showing the courage his original counterpart was known for. The moment he hears his mother and Hikari^note Kari are stuck on a train that's going berserk, the first thing he does? Don his signature goggles, leap over the turnstiles to the train station, and make a run to the tracks to help his family in whatever way he can.
• After Taichi meets Agumon in the Network, a swarm of Child-level^note Rookie outside of Japan Algomon attack the duo. It doesn't take much time for the two to immediately start whooping digital butt as Agumon's quickly roasting them with his Baby Flame attack, while Taichi himself grabs an Algomon and slams it around into its allies to take them out.
• The first Digivolution has to count for a moment of awesome. In a burst of courage, Taichi and Agumon both rush into battle against a significantly stronger Adult^note Champion in English level Algomon, which quickly leads to Agumon's first evolution to Greymon. And in the middle of the evolution sequence itself, Agumon holds off Algomon's attacks, before fully evolving to Greymon, slamming the enemy away with a single tail strike before resuming the battle.

Episode 2

• Garurumon leaping to Greymon's aid and taking out a couple of blindsiding Algomon. He even noticed them without any warning from Yamato^note Matt if his body language was any indication, meaning he acted just to save his friend. Taichi and Greymon return the favor not too long afterward.
• Even though Taichi and Yamato did the brunt of the work, Koshiro^note Izzy deserves props for looking into the U.S. military and guiding the two of them to the Algomon attempting to nuke Japan. Had it not been for him, they most likely wouldn't have made it.
• Yamato and Garurumon drawing in the Algomon's attention so Greymon could focus on the boss, complete with Wall Run.
• The boss Algomon evolves into its Perfect^note Ultimate form and curb-stomps Greymon and Garurumon. Despite the worse odds, Greymon and Garurumon power through and deliver a combination attack that does a considerable amount of damage.
• Unfortunately, despite the above, the countdown has not stopped. Algomon evolves into its Ultimate^note Mega form and launches the missile right at Tokyo. At this point, there's seemingly no hope left as all of their attacks do absolutely nothing. All Taichi and Yamato can do is steel themselves to stop the catastrophe. At the bleakest possible moment, both of their Digivices glow with the accompaniment of angel feathers. The group is engulfed by Algomon's attack, and when Koshiro looks at his computer again, a familiar glowing sphere is seen...and out from the sphere emerges Omegamon,^note Omnimon his bright blue eyes opening and shining as he takes a look at his Mega-level opponent. Is it a repeat of Our War Game? Undoubtedly. Did they play the Omegamon card earlier than normal? Absolutely. Is it still awesome? Oh fuck the hell yes.

Episode 3

• As soon as Omegamon comes into play, Algomon barely even stands a chance in the Dark Area. The Royal Knight utterly thrashes Algomon without so much as a second thought, dodging and blocking most of its attacks with the last stretch of the fight accompanied by an instrumental version of the reboot's opening. And after that, Omegamon manages to knock the missile into the stratosphere!

Episode 4

• The entire dual fight against Coelamon and Snimon. To recap:
  • On Taichi's end, Greymon immediately manages to gain the upper hand and hold it throughout the fight. Despite the two of them being in the water, it hardly felt fair for Coelamon. Hell, we even see Greymon swimming for the first time in any Digimon-related media!
  • For Sora, who got to the Digital World mere minutes ago, she hitches a ride on Snimon's leg to save Piyomon^note Biyomon, comforting her in the process. This enables Piyomon to evolve into Birdramon for the first time, annhilating Snimon in one shot with a Meteor Wing.

Episode 5

• Tentomon fending off the Tylomon attacking him and Koshiro despite being clearly outclassed. It culminates in him evolving into Kabuterimon and targeting the Soundbirdmon controlling them.
• Birdramon powering through the Dokugumons' web with a Phoenix Taze attack, followed by Greymon taking out several of them at once with a single Mega Flame. And keep in mind, they only recently had their battle at the river, meaning these versions of the Chosen Digimon have a lot more energy to spare than the previous canon.

Episode 6

• Mimi got hit with the Adaptational Badass stick the hardest. She and Palmon were certainly not pushovers in the first anime, but her introduction has her willingly taking up a leadership role to a bunch of Tanemon and setting up a trap for any fruit thieves at the first sign of trouble. All before Taichi and Sora came across her. Special mention goes to Palmon's Poison Ivy attack, which is actually capable of ensnaring an entire group of people this time around.
• The group fending off Ogremon's invading army. Once again, divided into portions:
  • Greymon manages to fend off four of the Tuskmon that are attacking, then manages to make it back in time to snap Ogremon's horn off of his head.
  • Birdramon attacks the Coredramon that attempts to ambush Greymon from the air.
  • Then there's Palmon's first battle. She takes on a Drimogemon that attacks her and Mimi directly, risking her life to protect her in the process. When Mimi refuses to leave her side, Palmon evolves into Togemon and delivers an absolutely brutal beatdown to Drimogemon.

Episode 7

• This time it goes to the enemy. Gesomon, the enemy Digimon in this episode, used to be a not-so-strong Champion in past depictions. Here, it took 3 Champion to get rid of it, and even then they're merely getting rid of it, not fully defeat it. And this is Ikkakumon's debut too! An evolution debut from a protagonist is usually accompanied with the new evolution absolutely reigning the battle on its own. Not this time. Gesomon here is just that resilient.

Episode 8

• Yamato shows teamwork with other kids for the first time. And unlike in the original series, he warms up to them almost immediately afterwards.

Episode 9

• Greymon and Ogremon's duel. And then MetalTyrannomon shows up......which caused the duel to end with Ogremon sacrificing himself to let Taichi and Greymon escape. He's truly an awesome honorable badass who just wants a fair fight.

Episode 10

• MetalGreymon debuted with new animation AND a new never-before-seen move, Giga Storm, where instead of launching fish rockets from his chest, he launches powerful energy beam. And the fight is accompanied by the debut of a brand new epic insert song, making the fight scenes feels even more awesome.

Episode 11

• WereGarurumon's strength, speed and fighting skill in his fight with Scorpiomon are nothing short of awe-inspiring. He catches Scorpiomon's stinger between two fingers, lops off his tail, destroys one of his pincers, nails him with a flurry of kicks and finishes him off with a Kaiser Nail. It may be a Curb-Stomp Battle but damn if it doesn't look cool.

Episode 12

• Andromon in this iteration manages to be just as powerful as a recently debuted MetalGreymon. It took the debut of Lillymon to beat it. Also, in this episode, Lillymon uses an unnamed dropkick attack for the first time, showing that she's not just all about flowers.

Episode 13

• Cannonbeemon is so freakin' huge, its laser blast straight up cleave a mountain. Garudamon, despite being far smaller (and she's already one of the largest Ultimate level the kids have!), goes through the laser and beat Cannonbeemon anyway. By beheading it.

Episode 14

• Tentomon shows itself as an awesome partner for Koshiro, pointing out that Koshiro doesn't always need to rely on his tablet laptop to be smart. Their work together results in Koshiro's crest triggering an evolution, turning Kabuterimon into AtlurKabuterimon.

Episode 15

• Joe pulling a You Shall Not Pass! on Mammon^note Mammothmon and its Yukidarumon^note Frigimon minions while telling Yamato to stay close to Sora. Being impressed by his sincere act of bravery, Ikkakumon gets swole as he evolves into Zudomon and proceeds to completely wreck house. If that didn't remind you that Joe can be every bit the Cowardly Lion his 1999 self was, we don't know what will.

Episode 16

• Once again it's for the enemy - Eyesmon, despite being a mere Champion level, is so strong it took as many as 6 Ultimate level to beat! And then it turns out it survived and evolved further.

Episode 17

• Orochimon's multiple heads prove to be a difficult distraction, it took all the kids working together so MetalGreymon can strike the main head to finally defeat Orochimon. But, as if taunting the kids, it turns out it survived and evolved further. AGAIN.

Episode 18

• Nidhoggmon, being the very first Mega level enemy the kids face, is so powerful and so gigantic it took Omegamon's reappearance to beat. And Omegamon is being a badass as usual, easily ripping Nidhoggmon apart in a single slash.

Episode 19

• Leomon just got here and he's already kicking ass and taking names. Not only is he leading the resistance like Neamon said, but he's also riding in on a Peckmon and using his BFS to cut up Troopmon like they were tissue paper. He proceeds to lead an infiltration on the Valvemon wreaking havoc in the desert. Then there's his battle with Minotaurmon, rarely giving him an inch and deflecting every attack he throws at him before finishing the fight with his trademark Jūouken attack...by blocking Minotaurmon's attack and hitting him with a second Jūouken with his free hand.

Episode 20

• Although offscreen, but Leomon managed to defeat a Megadramon certainly cemented his badassery.

Episode 21

• As MetalGreymon is being dragged into the miasma by Splashmon, Taichi runs up to the latter and tries desperately to pry the its jaws off. He succeeds, tapping into a newfound power than not only gives him the strength to throw Splashmon off, but also lets MetalGreymon undergo a Mode Change that gives him a cannon for a right arm. Before the cannon even properly forms, his arm becomes a tendril of energy that he uses to launch Splashmon into the air with a single hit. Now in Alteros Mode, MetalGreymon fires the cannon through one of Splashmon's attacks to shoot out its core.

Episode 22

• SkullKnightmon proves to be a terrifyingly competent fighter now that they've been properly confronted, rapidly switching between modes and making very effective use of all of the weapons at their disposal. They're able to keep MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon on their toes for a good few minutes with several new attacks that the Xros Wars version never used. This is despite SkullKnightmon being a level lower that either of them. When the two finally get SkullKnightmon on the ropes, SkullKnightmon undergoes what is thus far the only full evolution sequence by a villain and proceeds to absolutely wreck the heroes as DarkKnightmon with even more new attacks.
• WereGarurumon manages to one-up MetalGreymon's Mode Change. He gets pinned to a pillar by DarkKnightmon in fairly brutal fashion, but powers through the pain with the knowledge that Yamato and Takeru are in danger. He absorbs the arrows pinning him and undergoes a Mode Change of his own called Sagittarius Mode, gaining several Hard Light wings and jetting off at lightning speed to save the two and the Holy Digimon's egg just as they're about to fall into the miasma. WereGarurumon then fights DarkKnightmon using his wings as Morph Weapon Laser Blades and energy cannons. The best part? Unlike MetalGreymon, he wasn't being powered up by his partner's emotions. He did all this himself.

Episode 23

• Even before he evolves into NeoDevimon, Devimon has MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon on the ropes for most of the fight. It's both scary and awesome.
• While Taichi, Yamato and their Digimon are dealing with NeoDevimon, Koshiro, Sora, Mimi and Joe are dealing with a plot by Calmaramon to crash a fleet of ships into the city. At first, she overwhelms their Digimon but they all get a Heroic Second Wind and defeat her. Zudomon then destroys the obelisk she was using to power up NeoDevimon which weakens him and allows Taichi and Yamato's partners to destroy him. A rare case of the The Leader and The Lancer being saved by the other Digidestined.

Episode 25

• Taichi and Yamato's plan to soften Eldoradimon's landing. They have Greymon and Garurumon shoot the BigMamemon, who are basically living balloons, off the edge of Eldoradimon's shell and then have them float up underneath him.

Episode 26

• Koshiro's plan to stop the ships from crashing which involves sending a distress signal which disrupts the Zurumon's virus and allows the ships' network to regain control. There is a reason he is The Smart Guy.
• The other four Digidestined and their partners coming to Taichi and Yamato's rescue. Special mention goes to Zudomon taking out two Seadramon with his hammer and AtlurKabuterimon breaking a WaruSeadramon's horn. The girls don't do too shabby either; Lilymon shoots a MegaSeadramon's horn off and Garudamon finishes off the remaining two Ultimate Seadramon as they try to do a double team attack.

Episode 27

• Zudomon throws his hammer at Groundramon who deflects it back at him with his arm. WereGarurumon Sagittarius Mode deflects it back at Groundramon with one of his blades.
• MetalGreymon Alteros Mode jams his railgun into Groundramon's mouth and opens fire. The other five partner Digimon then fire into Groundramon's mouth, overloading him.

Episode 30

• THE DEBUT OF WARGREYMON.
  • Even though they were overpowered, outnumbered, and outmatched by Crossmon ^note Eaglemon outside of Japan and the Allomon army, Taichi and MetalGreymon absolutely refuse to give up. Even when battered and their Heroic Second Wind failed, they both still refuse to go down. Their indomitable spirit is what pushes them to unlock their Mega Evolution.
    Taichi: We don't have time to mope! We can't be chickened out! We'll get back up again and again!
    Agumon: Yeah! We'll dive back into battle over and over!
  • Even the evolution sequence is awesome as well. We first have MetalGreymon floating underneath a gigantic Crest of Courage as parts of MetalGreymon transformed into WarGreymon, then the Trident Arm and Alteros Arm turns into Dramon Killers, then WarGreymon simply bursts out of the evolution sphere in a glorified Crucified Hero Shot, arming his Dramon Killers and announcing his arrival. Judging from the leading Veggiemon being blown away by the burst, one could say that WarGreymon bursting out of his sphere is felt even in reality.
    MetalGreymon, Mega Evolution!! WARGREYMON!!!
  • Then the subsequent battle between Crossmon and the Allomon army against WarGreymon. Well, not so much of a battle but more like a massacre.
    • The Allomon army fires fireballs at the newly formed Mega, accompanied by Crossmon's Mystic Break. Thinking that will do the trick, Veggiemon smugly smiles. However, that smile was soon wiped off its face as the smoke clears and the Brave Shield tanks all those attacks, with no damage done to WarGreymon and Taichi, as the Brave Shield remotely reattaches itself to Wargreymon's back.
    • WarGreymon then leaps up, pass Crossmon, into the sky. As Crossmon powers up another Kaiser Phoenix attack, WarGreymon's answer? GAIA FORCE^note Terra Force. And it isn't just any normal Gaia Force, but a gigantic one, much like the Spirit Bomb Goku used, fueled by the life force of every person on Earth, on Majin Buu.
    • The gigantic Gaia Force envelopes Crossmon, defeating it, and also the entire Allomon army and the leading Veggiemon on the ground. They couldn't do anything by stare as the literal sun was dropped on their faces. The battle even concludes with the sun rising from the horizon.
    • Props one to the audio filter as well, as they give WarGreymon, and by extension his voice actress Chika Sakamoto.
  • All this action is accompanied by Break The Chain, another masterpiece by Takayoshi Tanimoto.
• Even though this episode's spotlight is on WarGreymon's appearance, Garudamon has one at the very start of the episode. Even when 3 Megadramons piled onto her with a fourth one aiming a Genocide Attack^note Dark Side Attack, Garudamon's answer to that is enveloping the 3 Megadramons that piled onto her with Shadow Wing, and aiming the attack at the fourth one, taking out four mons in one attack.

Episode 31

• Although WarGreymon's battle with Gokumon^note Reapermon was very short, it displays his fighting prowess nicely with him quickly impaling Gokumon with a Dramon Killer, deflecting the oncoming counterattack, and charging up an palm-sized Gaia Force that finishes the fight.

Episode 32

• Patamon has exhausted his ability to evolve into Angemon but through sheer determination is able evolve into an alternate Adult form, Pegasmon, and proceeds to dominate the pair of Fangmon who were threatening them with Silver Blaze. He's even able to destroy 2 of Cerberumon's heads and nail it in the chin with Rodeo Gallop, causing its charged up Hellfire to backfire and cracks start forming all over it's body. And with help from Garudamon, who delivers an epic knee drop causing the Hellfire to backfire again, and MetalGreymon's Giga Destroyer, Pegasmon's Silver Blaze finishes it off in a huge explosion.

Episode 33

• Hikari being a badass in this episode, fully trusting her brother and WarGreymon while she goes inside DarkKnightmon to get Tailmon out.

Episode 35

• Hikari's bonding with Tailmon in the middle of a fight against a MarineDevimon leads to the debut of Angewomon, who swiftly beat MarineDevimon with ease.

Episode 36

• MetallifeKuwagamon, a mere Ultimate level, is shown to be strong enough that it requires MetalGreymon evolving into an alternate Mega level, BlitzGreymon, to beat. Once BlitzGreymon shows up, it easily takes down the BladeKuwagamon minions and MetallifeKuwagamon by utilizing all of its varied attacks.
  • Meanwhile, Koshiro manages to save Tokyo from the ISS remnants by making a perfect shot with AtlurKabuterimon, from the Digital World.

Episode 37

• When Mimi realizes Gogmamon can't bite through diamonds, she tosses one to Lilymon who fires it from her cannon, damaging his armor and allowing her to finish him off.

Episode 38

• Yamato going full on Determinator to save Gabumon from being sacrificed to a dark shard by Mephismon. To provide context, Yamato nearly dies trying to save his Digimon partner.

Episode 39

• Joe of all people knocks some sense into Jyagamon. How? BY CLOBBERING HIM WITH ZUDOMON'S GIANT HAMMER.
  • The episode is a great display of Joe's strategic side. When he realizes that Lunamon's soap bubbles neutralizes Jyagamon's potato bombs, he tells Komondomon, who is covered in said bubbles due to bathing in them, to rush between Zudomon and Jyagamon. Zudomon generates a shockwave with his hammer which causes the bubbles to fly off Komondomon and onto Jyagamon's bombs.

Episode 40

• In a surprising twist, during a battle with Toropiamon, both Tai and MetalGreymon are taken out of the battle, turned into fruit by the enemy Digimon. And the person that saves them? Sora. While Garudamon clashes against the Toropiamon, Sora worked to save the Pomumon that Toropiamon's forces had turned into fruit. And when a Flymon takes focus on Sora, the Pomumon she saved rescue her, giving her time to free both Tai and MetalGreymon, allowing for the two Chosen Children and their Digimon (alongside the Pomumon helping them) to finish off the Plant Digimon.
  • Garudamon deserves some props too. Initially Toropiamon has her on the ropes until she gets a Heroic Second Wind. She then grabs Toropiamon - who is much larger than her - by the tail and strikes him with a Shadow Wing attack. She holds her own against him just long enough for Taichi and Sora to free MetalGreymon.

Episode 41

• After being given the hope of the various Digimon trapped in WaruMonzaemon, Patamon finally evolves into Angemon again. The anime even uses Break The Chain as the music for his evolution, just to show how momentous his return is. The "you make it out" line from the song is even synchronized with the scene of Angemon leading everyone out of WaruMonzaemon!

Episode 42

• Koshiro once again shows how invaluable his intelligence is by coming up with a strategy to defeat RareRaremon. First, he has Taichi throw numerous packets of oil into the creature while it is distracted by their Digimon. He then order AlturKabuterimon to spin the evil Digimon around several times, causing the oil it has absorbed to mix into its body. After having MetalGreymon heat up RareRaremon, the heroes then use Gerbemon's Freeze Ray to cool it down, ultimately defeating it.

Episode 43

• Mimi shows just how good she is when she becomes the one who saves the day as she manages to have Palmon, although partly by accident (since Patamon being in Palmon's flower likely has something to do with it), evolve into PONCHOMON, an alternate evolution that was never hinted at anywhere, not in episode preview, not in v-pet.

Episode 45

• After a HUGE gap since WarGreymon's debut (15 episodes), another Chosen Child's Digimon reaches Mega level. This time, Yamato manages to evolve WereGarurumon to MetalGarurumon, rescuing the Machmon he was racing against from a Parasimon that took it over, the Mega level Digimon of Friendship managing to annihilate the parasite and saving Machmon from a suicide attempt, both with no effort.

Episode 46

• Takeru, on his own, manages to not only comfort and regain control of Angemon, but also, makes it evolve into HolyAngemon.

Episode 48

• After being thrown around like rag dolls by Mugendramon, WarGreymon gets powered up by Angewomon. Taichi tells the others to head on while he and WarGreymon hold off Mugendramon. The whole battle is filled with epic moments:
  • WarGreymon flies at Mugendramon while deflecting the lasers fired from its tail. He proceeds to use his Dramon Killers to cut up said tail when he gets in close.
  • Then when Mugendramon crushes him with its tail, WarGreymon punches his way out and jumps on its back to start tearing off machinery.
  • Mugendramon proceeds to impale Wargreymon with its extendable claw and hits him with a blast from its hand mounted energy cannon. WarGreymon remains completely unfazed, even with a hole in his chest, and throws one of his Dramon Killers into the energy cannon’s barrel.
  • After jettisoning its damaged limbs, Mugendramon and WarGreymon stare down each other before charging.
  • Even with one Dramon Killer left, WarGreymon uses Brave Tornado to rip a hole through Mugendramon’s neck then finishes it off with a Gaia Force to its back.

Episode 49

• Again for the enemy - not only does Milleniumon successfully revive itself, it also shows just how large it actually is. WarGreymon, already far more gigantic than its original series appearance, looks like a mere ant in comparison!

Episode 50

• As Taichi and WarGreymon swiftly make their pursuit up to Millenniummon to stop him from annihilating the other Chosen Children and their Digimon, the two are suddenly crushed flat by the massive Digimon's hands, before being directly blasted right back down into a lake by its Infinity Cannons. However, upon hearing the other Chosen Childrens' cries for Taichi to get up, he manages to do so alongside WarGreymon, their Crest of Courage igniting as they charge right back out of the lake in a Heroic Second Wind and launch straight into Millenniummon's jaws, forcing him to release everyone. And with the Crest of Courage activated along with the others' Crests, it leads into...
• Goddramon and Holydramon vs Millenniumon. Millenniumon is the size of the floating continent, with one of his claws being bigger than a mountain. The two Holy Dragons are the same size as he is, and are able to harm him in ways even WarGreymon couldn't. Goddramon's punches shatter the Evil God's fangs, and Holydramon tears out his throat with her teeth. Despite his previous invincibility, they take him apart, and one final Beam-O-War destroys him.
  • Once Millenniumon survived and reaches his final form, ZeedMillenniumon, all hope seems lost. He's setting the planet ablaze and nothing seems able to stop him, even the two holy dragons. But how do they stop him? Taichi and WarGreymon, upon seeing the hopes of the Digital World rising up, charge into battle, preparing a full power Gaia Force that's empowered by the Digital World, allowing for the Courage duo to put up a powerful fight against ZeedMillenniummon when he fires off to counter it, both sides at a stalemate. It's then that Goddramon and Holydramon tag in, lending their energy too and empowering the Gaia Force to a point it completely overpowers the ZeedMillenniummon and consumes them, with Taichi declaring the Chosen Children will ensure the Wicked God Digimon will never return as the blast detonates, annihilating the ultimate threat.

Episode 52

• Hououmon appears! And the first thing it does is blocking a freaking volcanic eruption, turning it into a pillar of shining crystal with apparently no effort at all.

Episode 54

• Both Rebellimon and Cutemon shows just how awesome they can be in this episode. Cutemon in particular, just can't seem to stop trying to befriend badass "lone wolf" - this isn't the first time a Cutemon is shown doing this.

Episode 55

• Rosemon's debut and the moments that led up to it when BanchoMamemon and his gang attack the school.
  • Babamon show's that despite her age, she's no slouch when fighting a fellow Mega Digimon like BanchoMamemon as she easily blocks his attacks and even blows him back with an Empress Haze.
  • Jijimon's no pushover either as he helps Taichi and Greymon fight the gang of Mamemon and BigMamemon easily. He likely defeated all of them single-handedly off-screen.
  • Mimi and Palmon step up to show the fruits of their labor while training at the school.
    • The first special mention goes to Togemon, who saves Babamon by destroying BanchoMamemon's giant baseball with a single punch. Keep in mind that the attack was created by a Mega Digimon, and was destroyed by a Champion Digimon with little effort. Mimi then tells Babamon to be honest with BanchoMamemon - about how he dropped out, and thus he was a failure. This angered BanchoMamemon, who threw his bat at her, but she was able to dodge it thanks to her obstacle course training. This is followed up by Togemon using her Chikuchiku Bang Bang^note Or Needle Spray in English, seemingly doing nothing, but was actually used to pin BanchoMamemon's gakuran to the ground, leaving him open to attack.
    • Mimi then evolves Togemon to Lilimon, and although her Flower Cannon is easily deflected by BanchoMamemon, she's able to dodge a flurry of his attacks thanks to the Babamon Dance she learned. Outside of being captured with BanchoMamemon's chains, Lilimon took no real damage in the fight.
    • And finally, Lilimon evolving into Rosemon for the first time, easily breaking free from BanchoMamemon's chains in the process. Everyone present marvels at the sight of the newly formed Mega, who is gigantic. Her appearance just radiates with the aura of someone who is beautiful, powerful, and intimidating at the same time.
    • In anger, BanchoMamemon creates a giant baseball made of fire while claiming that it didn't matter if she became an Mega Digimon. He then attacked her with smaller fireballs from the giant fire baseball as well as flamethrowers from his bats, only for both to be easily stopped by Rosemon's whip. However, they were a feint, distracting her from the giant fire baseball splitting in half and then converging on her. Just as BanchoMamemon thought victory was in the bag, his strongest attack proved to be ineffective as well, with Rosemon breaking free from it, destroying BanchoMamemon's bats and knocking him down, aiming at him with her rapier afterwards.
    • BanchoMamemon asked why he lost, with Mimi and Rosemon returning his words from earlier, about how becoming a Mega Digimon did not matter, and how he was now starting to understand what Babamon wanted him to notice. Rosemon then seal's her victory with Forbidden Temptation and BanchoMamemon admits defeat.
  • Special mention to Mimi. Besides the sheer guts needed to stand in front a raging Mega Digimon and telling him he is just a failure, she also briefly takes part in the fight and manages to dodge one of BanchoMamemon's attacks.

Episode 56

• WereGarurumon and its partner's strong friendship unlocks yet another alternate Mega level evolution - CresGarurumon, who swiftly and easily defeats the previously seemingly untouchable Zanbamon that's terrorizing Strabimon's village.
• Props to WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon for holding out against Zanbamon for an entire night when the latter had easily mowed down any other opposition.

Episode 60

• As impressive as Zudomon's efforts against Olegmon despite the ensuing Curb-Stomp Battle and Vikemon's own Curb-Stomp Battle in return are, this episode also has Jou prove himself to be a good leader once and for all. When Jou finds out that Olegmon and his crew are raiding other ships out of desperation rather than greed, he challenges Olegmon to battle, wagering the airship's supplies against the pirate crew's loyalty. Vikemon ultimately wins out and rather than rub his victory in the pirate captain's face, Jou leads him and his crew to a place where Olegmon and his crew have enough to survive off of while coexisting with any other Digimon who might come by.

Episode 63

• Say what you will about Taichi appearing in everyone else's episodes, but he his sheer tenacity in protecting Botamon in this episode may be one of his best moments in the series. He protects Botamon during several near-misses with berserk Digimon and still manages to comfort the little guy through it all.
• When Taichi is finally cornered between a trio of Allomon and a wall of fire they created, he has Botamon coating him in bubbles so that they can jump through. When the three dinosaurs still pursue them, Taichi moves to fight them just to give Botamon time to escape. Taichi charges at the Allomon, but he's smart about fighting them, tricking them into charging into each other while he holds on for dear life. His courage allows Botamon to gain a Greymon aura form and fight them off for real. Lotus-Eater Machine or not, that's pretty impressive.

Episode 64

• Seraphimon and Ophanimon arrive on the scene and immediately No-Sell Deathmon's attacks. Seraphimon then pulls off a Beam-O-War against Deathmon without an actual beam. The leading edge of his Seven Heavens is more than enough to split Deathmon's eye-laser down the middle and punch through with all seven shots landing solid hits. Then Ophanimon charges through a combined beam from both of Deathmon's hand-eyes completely unscathed before running it through with her javelin. This is Deathmon's dark form, too, making it one of the most powerful evil Digimon in the franchise, and Ophanimon and Seraphimon absolutely crush it.
• Ophanimon and Seraphimon's evolution sequences. HolyAngemon loses his armor, revealing Priest Mode underneath, before bursting out of that to reveal an entirely human form that Seraphimon's armor slams into place over. Likewise, Angewomon's ribbons expand over her body and transform into Ophanimon's armor and shield, ending with Angemonmon's helmet morphing into Ophanimon's using the Crest of Light. The sequence ands with Ophanimon twirling her lance. These more unique sequences are a very welcome sight after the underwhelming ones that the other megas got and even the impressive-but-still-cookie-cutter ones for WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon.

Episode 66

• When Seraphimon and Ophanimon are nearly consumed by Abaddomon’s tentacles, the shadowy forms Devimon and Skullknightmon come to their rescue.
• The other four kids all get credit for keeping themselves in existence by sheer force of will long enough for the hopes of mankind to reach them.
• Thanks to the combined hope of the digital and real worlds, Omegamon returns, complete with an actual Transformation Sequence and backed by an orchestral version of “Break the Chain”.
• Just how powerful this version of Omegamon really is? The eight Ultimates^note Mega, including the two Holy Digimon couldn't even scratch Abaddomon's shell. Omegamon by merely coming into existense blasts a massive hole into it.

Episode 67

• The entire battle between Omegamon and Abbadomon is amazing from start to finish. The whole battle is animated in beautifully fast-paced action, showing off just how powerful a Royal Knight and a Digimon of destruction are, with Omegamon showing off several new attacks as well (Firing a Macross Missile Massacre from the Garuru Cannon arm's shoulderpad and snout, and summoning an energy shield from the Grey Sword arm's shoulderpad).
• The entire time, the other children and their partners are hammering Abbadomon from the outside, both to prevent it from feeding and doing more damage, but to force the abomination to divide its attention between them and Omegamon. This is shown later in the battle were Abbadomon Core glitches out like its outer shell was earlier when it was distracted fighting Omegamon.
• In the climax of the battle, Abbadomon BARELY manages to avoid a killing blow from Omegamon, catching the Grey Sword in its Belly Mouth, and attempting to erase him, Taichi, and Yamato from existence.. However, as it seems they have won, the other Chosen Children rally their hopes as they battle Abbadomon from the outside, channeling their power to the others, as Taichi and Yamato prepare to turn the tables to finish the fight.
  Yamato: Whether it's fear or pain...
  Taichi: We've overcome them every time!
  Yamato: Our potential...
  Taichi: Won't be stopped by anyone!
• Omegamon then No Sells Abbadomon's erasure, proceeding to lay into it as he then proceeds to bust out a brand new tactic, brandishing both a second sword alongside the Grey Sword, and later busting out a second cannon alongside the Garuru Cannon. As the swift battle goes on, it becomes increasingly clear what it's leading up to with the weapons Omegamon uses... As he then proceeds to change forms to Omegamon Alter-S, leading to him annihilating Abbadomon ala Gogeta, outright ending the battle in under a minute. And special mention goes to that finisher, as he finishes off Abbadomon while in the middle of form changing back to base Omegamon.
• When Omegamon dual-wields the Grey and Garuru Cannons, he matches Abaddomon's Eye Beams shot for shot, stopping each one in mid-air with a blast of his own in what can only be described as a clash of the Spam Attacks. This is despite Abaddomon having many more places to fire from.
• In a franchise-wide case of awesomeness, after 20 years of content, Leomon FINALLY survived a series all the way to the end, averting his infamous Sacrificial Lion status.
• In another case of franchise-based awesomeness, mixed with Heartwarming Moments, the Chosen Children defy the series' tradition of having to separate from their Digimon, getting to live in the real world alongside their digital partners. And not only that, but Koushiro and Mimi have even began to work on developing a transportation method between the real and Digital Worlds. And if Taichi being in the Digital World alongside Agumon is any indication, it's going to be quite a success.
