    So, I just saw it on youtube with subs. It might still be there if you haven’t watched it.

    The intro was just pure nostalgia. And that’s without mentioning that old internet dial up sound. It’s pretty much a tease to people who haven’t seen digimon and those who have. It hints to Agumon’s future evolutions, all of them except for the newest one. They really went for the, you probably know this is coming, so here it is and be hyped. For those who haven’t seen digimon before, it’s a, “I wonder who that is,” moment.

    As for the enemy, that’s agromon, right? That villain from the Savers/season 5 movie??
    His in-training, rookie, and champion forms.

    Also, the next episode, more nostalgia. “Our War Game,” and an american military base, really??

    That said, I’m really looking forward to the next one

    Yeah the intro was really nice, it had some nice callbacks and everything too. It really builds up hype too. Especially that omnimom tease at the end.
    It looks like there adding a bit of cybersleuth, tamers and adventure 2 with "Kowloon" and the ability to travel between the worlds
    Also looks like there planning to slowly introduce the main cast and let us get to know them. With how the op focused on taichi and the ending on yamato. Koushiro's probably get tentamon later on.

    Yes, it had a lot of cybersleuth vibes, especially with the way the net was made to look. Although, that seems to be the trend with how to portray the net though...
    The biggest change so far has been Koshiro’s development. They’re really playing up his being the smart one.

    Also next episode hype. Our war game seems like they're gonna do a scaled down version of summer wars.:aww:


    Also I've got a feeling that this whole things actually a prologue. Everyone getting introduced and meeting up with their partners. Takeshi was planning to go to summer camp in the beginning. So there's a chance of all the characters meeting up formally in camp

    I just realized another part about the intro. It’s doing a lot of call backs to the first intro. The most obvious is the one with Taichi spinning around in the air. But another more subtle one is when the champions/adult level first appear. The human partners are riding their digimon in the same position they did when they were introduced in the original opening. Mimi on Togemon’s hand, Sora holding Birdramon’s leg, Taichi on Greymon’s horn, etc.

    I'm hoping that digitalworld and AMD "cyberspace" are kinda two different places
    Plus they're also showing off him being more unsure and lacking self-confidence
    Yup plus they all have a scene fighting other digimons. Possible future main enemies I guess
    Another thing I caught was that koushiro was using a tachikawa tablet. So Mimi's family backround may play a bigger role .

    I think they are going with a xross wars concept with the digital world. It has always existed and humans have no touched upon it.

    For future enemies, two of them looked quite familiar, Kuwagamon and Snimon. I guess the season would be lacking if they forget to put their first enemy into the show.

    They were, the other enemy was the person Taichi fought in said episode. I still say it looks like agromon’s champion form

    I guess he must have really caught the attention of the producers when they first introduced him. Maybe the people who wrote that movie saw this as a chance to finally give him a full digivolution line up??

    Yup all we're missing is a rookie form since that was skipped.

    Also its way too early but I hope the others mega forms appear instead of just agumons and gabumons this time

    The rookie was there, it just flashed by really fast...

    If they do appear, I hope it’s for an actual reason instead of just because it would look good. Well, this story seems promising, so I don’t think it will disappoint on that~

    I’ve got so much work going on right now, especially with COVID 19 cases. But still when I get the time I am so going to binge watch all the series. Thanks for the heads up.

    You can spend the time gossiping about what you think is going to happen next. Or you could read some digimon fanfiction. I can totally recommend some good stories~
