Bump. I'm NOT having this topic die on me.

Glad to meet a true wrestling fan I say lol.

You want to go back and forth through this now don't you?

Wow. I completely forgot about Mike Adamle until now. Better then Cole. Then again anybody is.

After watching that WWF Metal match you posted (Styles vs Hurricane) I then think it may be alright to include him for nominating in this topic. A.J. Styles may be eligible to nominate now.

9. Wrestlers that are dead and live on in the memory of the WWE are eligible for the tournament. This includes superstars like Eddie Guerrero, Andre The Giant, Owen Hart, Test, The Junkyard Dog, Mr. Perfect, etc.

10. Announcers/Valets/Managers throughout the whole history of WWE that never actually wrestled or barely wrestled at all are eligible for the contest. This includes Jerry Lawler, Lilian Garcia, Jim Ross, Paul Bearer, Jimmy Hart, Teddy Long and god forbid us Michael Cole.

11. Any female superstar is eligible for the contest. This can include Trish Stratus, Lita, Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Miss Elizabeth etc.

12. Tag Teams like The Legion Of Doom, MNM, The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, The Basham Brothers, Demolition etc. need to have separated nominations from each other to allow themselves in the tournament. Let's say you want to nominate both Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley. You can't have the two of them together to count as one nomination. Tag Teams have to be separated from each other as two nominations in order to be eligible for this thing.

13. Please have fun with this tournament.

14. Only one nomination list per user. If anybody is caught with using alternative accounts for nominating wrestlers in this contest (or while voting in the matches) please let know. Or I will try to find out about it myself.

15. Matches in the tournament will last each roughly for 24 hours. The lone exception being during the finale of the tournament where the Final 2 standing will battle out with each other in a 72 hour showdown with it all coming down to who Board 8 really think IS the best person to have worked for the WWE throughout it's long history.

16. You don't need to necessarily order your favorite wrestlers around in your nominations list by preference. Seeding numbers for the wrestlers in this contest will come down to who has the most amount of votes anyway.

If there have been any questions I haven't that I may have already answered for you in the rules section of the tournament please let me know. Until then. Start nominating at your will.

Rules For Nominating WWE Wrestlers In This Tournament:

1. First and foremost is the most important rule of all for nominating wrestlers in this contest. The person has to have worked for the WWE at one point or another in time. Wrestlers that have worked in the sport for the past and present throughout all of it's years since it existed have never worked for the WWE. This included some working for companies like TNA, ROH, Dragon Gate, Triple X, Chikara etc.

Someone like A.J. Styles is NOT ELIGIBLE for nominating in this tournament. In order for anybody to be accepted and allowed in this tournament they have to have had worked in WWE programming at one point or another in it's history. Even it it was only for six months for someone like Manu that was part as the fairly short stinted stable of Legacy that lasted for a few years in the WWE is eligible for entering in this tournament. Please take this rule in mind and if you have a wrestler in question you are not sure if he/she is allowed to enter in the contest please let know right away.

2. Wrestlers that are currently working for a different promotion like TNA and not WWE anymore (Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Ric Flair, etc.) but have worked for the WWE for a number of years IS ELIGIBLE for nomination rally in this tournament.

3. Each Board 8 User has a total of 40 Nominations they can spend on and use on any kind of performer that has worked for the WWE past or present throughout the years. Users have the right for not having to use all 40 nominations in the tournament. That is just the maximum they can use and vote for letting in for this contest. Please don't allow yourself with trying to waste all of your nominations on the same wrestler. Please use only 1 of your possible 40 nominations on different wrestlers.

4. The minimum amount of wrestlers you can nominate for this thing is 10. Anyone's list of wrestlers that includes a smaller amount then that will have their whole nomination list terminated and thrown away while when the votes will be tallied and counted.

5. While the duration for nominating wrestlers is going on anyone is allowed to change their list of nominations at anytime. Just make a new post involving your list and everything will be fine and allowed under the contest rules.

6. Nominating wrestlers begins from June 21, 2012 to July 13, 2012. Following that date nomination voting is closed. A later date will be announced some other time when this whole tournament will commence by.

7. The whole tournament will be running and involving 128 WWE Superstars. The bracket of the tournament will follow under a 8 x 16 bracket with 16 Divisions of 8 Wrestlers each. That's just for the starting round. Seeding for wrestlers in the tournament as you know will be decided by what vote tallies wrestlers have with those that have the most votes will receive the 1 Seeds and the ones that barely squeeze in will be included as an 8 Seed. Last person standing throughout all of this will win the honor as Board 8's Best WWE Wrestler Ever.

8. ANY kind of performer that was has worked for the WWE Company in some fashion IS eligible for running in this thing. This includes those were involved in the past like including almost the whole Hart Family, Rob Van Dam, Goldberg, Lance Storm, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Billy Kidman, Tajiri to wrestlers of today like Undertaker, C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, The Miz, Randy Orton etc.

MORE RULES TO FOLLOW

As of all of you know (okay so maybe NOT all of you know) my Digimon Episode Ranking Topic Of Season 1 purged and died a few days ago. I didn't necessarily let the topic die I just wanted to see and give it some time after posting some reviews of the season I made garner more attention then it already did to make it seem like my work was an effort to spending working on. It didn't really gather that much attention to some of you so after moving on with something I can't fix from the past, I'm moving on to the future here at B8 and working on a new project all together. Rather then working on another write-up topic of sorts on a certain subject where it would take too much time away from me and my life to get done I think working on a tournament of sorts would be a preferred option here that I think will gather your attention to participate in.

For those of you that don't know, I'm a wrestling fan. I have been since I was a youngster at 9 years old. I'm not afraid to admit that I still am. Particularly with what kind of wrestling I am talking about it's the world's largest and most popular kind of entertainment extravaganza out there that has lasted for decades and been the wrestling company all wrestling companies wanted to be since it was established back in 1952 and that is the WWE.

To give it tribute despite the fact of it's terrible RAW show it had this past Monday (aside from maybe the Ziggler/Swagger match) Vince McMahon's own flagship show in the WWE, Monday Night Raw is going to be celebrating it's 1000 episode coming up soon sometime in July. I can't think of a better time to run a tournament dedicated to the company then now with working on something like this. There have been hundreds of wrestlers that have come and gone and made their history and their name known for appearing as either an entertainer, wrestler, valet, manager, announcer or what else have you can name on Vince McMahon's show or should I say other shows he has created (Including Smackdown. Yes I left out the exclamation point. Why did you get rid of it Vince? WHY?) week in and week out to put on a show on national television you people couldn't forget.

With WWE being the largest wrestling company out there in the world eventually the whole company would turn out into a soap opera sometimes. (Why is it still PG-14?) having wrestlers form a love triangle with each other including probably one of the more infamous ones involving Matt Hardy, Edge and Lita. (which was occuring in real life) PPV's that would go live you had to purchase every month, a draft lottery occuring every year (okay so not EVERY year) that should everyone around with what brand they could wrestle on and fight certain championships on and having events of course like Raw Roulette where matches would be decided for the night's show at the spin of the wheel.

I'm not even digging far enough deeper then I should as I could to describe things for the whole history the WWE has done. For now I'm going to end this little background story on what the WWE has done and you take the time with having fun here in the tournament by asking you one question. Who is the best person to ever have worked in the WWE ever? I'm talking about from it's whole history. It can be hard to find a favorite so is the case with this being created and why I have created it.

Episode 10: A Clue From The Digi-Past


Mimi and Izzy are given the spotlight here in this episode as both of them crash land down on the same island. They both safely land in different parts of the island with what looks like a vegetatious rain forest. How did Mimi get her clothes on so fast like that? I also can't ignore her with that stupid line that comes out of her mouth as it's the first thing she says when she is on the ground.

Mimi: Oh No! Humidity!

Mimi and Palmon are exploring more of the rain forest while in the hunt for food until both of them are harassed by a group of Digimon named Chuumon and Sukamon. Mimi doesn't take the compliments they give her very kindly as she and Palmon cross over to another point on the island getting away from the stalkers.

Mimi and Palmon later meet Izzy and Tentomon inside some ancient ruins that are very much unknown to anyone. The walls are written in Digi-Language that catch Izzy's attention. Mimi's restlessness and Izzy's antisocialness create some friction here between the two as both of them show some fantastic chemistry with one other probably better then anybody else next to Tai and Matt.

ROTFL @ Palmon's crying.

*Mimi and Palmon Crying*
Tentomon: Izzy! Do something!
Izzy: Do what? My laptop can't do everything!
Tentomon: I don't know! Tell her your sorry!
Izzy: Sorry!?! For What!?!?

Izzy: You think I'm just playing around here?!?
Palmon: I think you like computers more then people!

Mimi angry at Izzy runs off in a pathway in the ruins that runs through like a giant maze causing her to get lost inside of it with Tentomon. Palmon and Izzy work together to pinpoint Mimi and Tentomon's location as while the both of them are lost in the scuffle, they meet Centarumon and the guy is not in the happiest mood.

He attacks and chases after Mimi and Tentomon until Izzy and Palmon break the walls down like Chris Jericho and reunite with their respective partners. Palmon and Tentomon digivolve to Togemon and Kabuterimon and they go to war with Centarumon. Centarumon blasts the four of them outside and with one quick move of Electro Shocker and Needle Spray our heroes free the Black Gear from inside of Centarumon.

Centarumon apologizes for his bad behavior and he leads Izzy and Mimi in detail inside the ruins that they possess the power as the Digi-Destined and their Digivices are more then just "a cool accessory" Leomon catches everyone off guard planning to do the unthinkable to Izzy and Mimi with them being the Digi-Destined.

Centarumon: Leomon why are you here?
Leomon: To destroy them. The children.

No remorse whatsoever. The glow of the Digivices from Izzy and Mimi scare Leomon off with what appears to be power of sorts that vanishes the dark from the light. Some time later Mimi making herself not seem like she's meaningless is tired from the knowledge Izzy is seeking on the walls and the Black Gear sticking out in the side of the room kicking the Black Gear with her foot turning the Black Gear in the opposite direction. Izzy and Mimi are then sent sailing through the ocean back to Infinity Mountain as another piece of File Island is put back together again.

Verdict: 8.0/10 This was rather entertaining. Bits and pieces here in this episode were thrown so much at me that the plot of the story here was just so random and amusing to follow. The alteration Mimi and Izzy had here together was gold. That's how you develop drama between your characters. This episode may have been nothing more then filler but it was fine ride to relax and watch your eyes fascinate at. Solid all around.

Is it too late to post a list? I won't mind posting mine.

Probably won't get an episode up to review for tonight guys. Sorry but my computer time is limited the most during Sunday.

I'll try not to stop for a break between write-ups during the reminder of the week.

Carry on and have some more fun here in this topic if you like.

Greymon probably had the worst dubbing out of all of the "main" Digimon here in the dub. Even Patamon was tolerable for most of the time. Nobody else was probably as bad as him until Neemon in Frontier. Robert Axelrod was probably one of their best (voice of Wizardmon) who I will talk about more as we get to Episode 30 or so. I'll probably do a voice acting tier ranking for Digimon in the future once more characters like Gatomon and Myotismon come in.

Episode 9: Subzero Ice Punch


Thank you for recapping the last episode for me Tai. Does anyone ever notice that Agumon's voice keeps changing pitch periodically? Our prologue of the episode begins with Tai and Agumon realizing the whole group of kids are drifting away from one another on different islands and must be reunited with each other somehow. Agumon and Tai aren't having the best of luck in the snow with Tai's clothes getting frozen at one point. These kids sure have weird fashion statements. I'm sorry but the last thing I would be thinking about wearing in a blizzard are a PAIR OF GOGGLES Tai always seems to be wearing around him on his head.

Tai and Agumon are later ambushed by a Digimon named Frigimon. He greets the two with an extremely corny entrance.

*Frigimon Pops Out Of The Ground*
Frigimon: Frigimon!

Tai and Agumon botch the attempt with trying to release the Black Gear from Frigimon at first but after some trouble they eventually do. Frigimon is so cute. He leads the two of them across an icy lake where Matt and Gabumon are claimed to have been seen. The weather is not cooperating well in favor of Matt as he becomes completely worried about T.K. and wondering what could be the situation he's in right now.

While Gabumon is looking out for T.K. in the blizzard, Matt's devoted stubbornness gets the best of him as he heads out in the storm nearly getting frozen when Gabumon brings him in the place they were hiding in to stay warm. Gabumon has such a deep voice. He yells at Matt at the top of his lungs but you can't hear the anger in him because of his voice.

*Gabumon Yelling At Matt*
Gabumon: MATT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT? I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE! CAN YOU HEAR ME? MATT!

It's morning now and Tai and Matt are reunited with each other with peace that doesn't reconcile with each other that well as while the two are having a discussion Matt believed that what Tai said was that T.K. isn't the main priority to concentrate on for now as the two beat heads and eventually fight with each other. The brawl breaks loose with Matt punching Tai in the face with Tai getting back up and hitting the SPEAR. Spear by Tai! BY GAWD! Tai nearly took Matt's head off!

The two struggle some more near the EDGE of a snowy cliff slide and before Agumon and Gabumon could come to the rescue, Mojyamon (a yeti like Digimon) appears sending the foursome flying off the edge plummeting them to their doom until Frigimon cushions their fall.

Agumon and Gabumon eventually digivolve to Greymon and Garurumon with them using the same old routine here we see them do with releasing the Black Gear from inside of Mojyamon turning him back to normal and turning their direction around to see part of File Island is coming back to pieces again with the hunt for the rest of the DigiDestined on with Matt and Tai putting their differences aside and away...for now.

Verdict: 7.5/10 The first five minutes or so of this was a little underwhelming. I think it may of been a little better for me to get into this if Tai and Agumon were thrown into more grave danger. Since the rest DigiDestined are separated from each other it would of been nice to see Tai and Agumon battle the odds more in the snow with multiple Digimon attacking them rather then having one like Frigimon to deal with. Thankfully the second half of this made it all better. The bickering with Tai and Matt was great with the two of them learning on how they have to put their differences aside with each other and learning how to be a team (which doesn't work out for them here later on in the season.) Everything here may have not been spectacular but how everything was wrapped up together made me kept on the edge of my seat all the way through which made this pretty decent to watch.

Episode 8: Evil Shows His Face


Our heroes are exploring up Infinity Mountain and Joe DOESN'T WASTE ANYTIME by opening his trap and complaining. He's such a crybaby.

A loyal and powerful Digimon named Leomon is strolling through the mountain when "another" one of the ill-fated Black Gears catches his attention. He bumps into what is his rival Ogremon and the ruler of the whole island we later found out is called File Island, Devimon. Devimon demands for Doomsday, Armageddon and all of that other dark sinister stuff to strike upon The DigiDestined's soul with Leomon not welcoming the idea to this with him trying to stop Devimon in the process.

Devimon uses his "Touch of Evil" to gain supremacy over him giving him that generic evil voice acting we have come to know throughout a show like this. Ogremon and Leomon have come to senses with each other to attempt a murder (okay so that's going a little too far) on the kids. Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon and Gomamon digivolve to their Champion levels to hold the two of them off and before the conflict could get any worse Devimon creates an avalanche to cause confusion for everyone as Ogremon and Leomon mysteriously disappear.

All exhausted from the previous fight our heroes try to search for a pit stop to stop for the night and rest. I like how Gomamon moves forward by flapping his claws up and down. A beautifully structured mansion is seen in the distance and our heroes are dared about thinking if they should go inside or not and eventfully they do.

The first thing the gang notices as they enter is that the whole place is deserted. AND A PICTURE OF AN ANGEL IS HANGING UPRIGHT ON ONE OF THE MANSION'S WALLS.

*T.K. and Patamon Looking At A Painting Of An Angel*
T.K. Look! It's an Angel!
Patamon: What's an Angel T.K.?
T.K. Something that watches over you. Just like you guys.

The odor of food catches the attention of Gabumon as he leads them to what appears looks like an all-you-can-eat-buffet and the kids dig right in for the grub. Who in the hell likes to put peanut butter and pickles on their pizza?

The kids fall into deep slumber for the night with them not realizing it was a trap set up by Devimon. The whole mansion crumbles apart and he spins all of the kids around in the air (expect for Tai) while still inside their beds spreading them all around to different parts of File Island, separating them hoping they will never be heard from again.

Devimon real talks with Tai claiming they are the true heroes of this world with them being told by legend they will be the saviors of this world and cause his downfall. Leomon is about to decapitate Tai before his Digivice glows turning him back to normal again (but not for long) as Leomon sends Agumon and Tai off for a ride to protect him from Devimon and telling Tai that he must reunite with rest of the DigiDestined at once and stop Devimon at all costs at some other time. Leaving the series off on a cliffhanger for the next five or so episodes.

Verdict: 5.5/10 I honestly didn't like much of what unraveled here. Nothing was ever resolved. The encounter the kids faced with Leomon and Ogremon at the beginning of the episode was lame. It ended unexpectedly and made the point of digivolving pointless other then taking up the two minutes of air time we usually see it gets. Leomon came out rather uninteresting to me and for "a role model all Digimon look after as" looked like a weakling that could easily be swayed to do anything for evil with what happened to him from Devimon. Doesn't this make all other good and powerful Digmon like him in a lower class useless in this world? This wasn't a favorite of mine and I'm sorry to say that. Hopefully it will get better with Episode 9.

Bump.

I should have Evil Shows His Face up by tomorrow morning. Just felt like taking a day off.

Episode 7: Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo


Our episode begins with what seems like everyone is doing normally. Moving from location to location covering as much ground as they can but not exactly preparing for what's not there.

The kids in vision what it looks like with them missing home and playing snow during the Winter time with it snowing in the Digital World. Not to mention the constant discussion about food with the Digimon wondering more and more what the human's home planet is like. I never realized how skinny all of these kids were until now and they go far on bragging about how they could eat anything. I wonder what they would do for a Klondike bar.

Getting back to the story here, the weather takes a tumble for the worse with it unexpectedly getting colder by the minute. No one has a clue with what they could do and where they should be heading to next with them getting REALLY APPREHENSIVE OVER THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL.

*The Group Looking Afraid Over The Snow Covered Ground*
Joe: It's impossible to continue!
Tai: So what are we suppose to do?
*Mimi, Palmon, T.K. and Patamon Lolly-Gag in the Snow*

The snow doesn't attract their attention for long as the smell of hot steam fills the air and their brains. Our heroes follow the scent where it leads them to boiling hot and poisonous hot springs and A NON-WORKING REFRIGERATOR FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT POSSIBLY E. COLI CONTAMINATED EGGS.

Joe continues acting like a Debbie Downer wondering why he questions himself to be acting like a father figure to the group and get worried over anything that may harmful to him and his friends. Wait Matt and Tai are arguing with each other? Whatever this was about (And it was about whether or not to climb Infinity Mountain) it was probably the most forgettable altercation these two had with each other in the whole season.

With Joe being the oldest and being "the one responsible for everyone's safety" he travels up Infinity Mountain at night with Gomamon covering as much ground as they can until the crack of dawn. The pair later bumps into Unimon who falls under the spell and control of the black gears with him effectively chasing down Joe and Gomamon. Birdramon and Greymon come to the rescue to fight off Unimon and...I don't even know what Greymon meant with what he said.

While Greymon Was Pushed In A Cliff Slide By Unimon
Tai: Greymon are you going to be alright?
Greymon: I'm stylin dude!

Gomamon eventually digivolves to Ikkakumon and with one blast of his Harpoon Torpedo attack the black gear is released from inside Unimon and he flies off in the sky without uttering a word. Not even a thank you. And that's the epilogue of the episode right there.

Verdict: 8.0/10 This episode just lost .5 point for that dopey line Greymon said. That was completely insipid. Otherwise I thought this was worthwhile. It had it's silliness yet at the same time some fine serious drama that kept me left wondering what could happen next. The fight between Ikkakumon and Unimon could of had a better outcome coming out of it for the time it had but I won't complain too much. This was pretty good all around.

Made me mad that MagnaAngemon only had 3 episodes worth of screen time. >_<

Episode 6: Togemon In Toy Town


COMPLETELY IGNORING THE FRUITY SINGING THE KIDS ARE PLAYING HERE AT THE BEGINNING.

While exploring the sewer some more our heroes are ambushed by a group of Digimon named Numemon. Disgusting, smelling sludge that chase after the kids through the whole sewer. While running away from the Numemon some of these expressions on these kids faces are priceless. (especially Izzy's)

Everyone is eventually outside and in their away the group bumps into VENDING MACHINES THAT ARE NOT RUNNING WITH ELECTRICITY. Mimi being hasty as she is heads to grab a soda with Palmon.

*Looking A Vending Machine*
Mimi: Yay! Soda! Do you want one?
Palmon: No I don't!

I don't know why I found that so funny.

As it was foreshadowed the Numemon come out of the broken vending machines with their leader flirting with Mimi as she turns him down. The Numemon don't take too kindly to this and response by pursing after everyone. Most of the slimeballs later get scared and run off by the appearance of Monzaemon. A big teddy bear like Digimon that runs the city of Toy Town.

Palmon: Toy Town is a place where he takes care of all of the abandoned Digimon toys and those toys love him.

Alright then. Mimi and Palmon arrive in Toy Town where everything looks calm and peaceful until the rest of the kids are seen in town square acting like they were brainwashed and chased around by senseless toys. Was that a drinking bird that was following after Joe?

Mimi and Palmon hear a cry for help as Agumon explains to them that the rest of the Digimon are locked up inside a chest box with it being up to them to be the heroes of the day. Mimi and Palmon go on the hunt for Monzaemon as we see here until Mimi feels upset about all of this she loses her temper in front of one his toys.

*A Monkey Playing The Cymbals Appears In Front Of Her*
Mimi: Stop that noise! Right now!
*Mimi Knocks The Toy Over*

Monzaemon appears as Mimi stands up for herself against him and while Palmon fails to cause any harm to Monzaemon the Numemon come out of nowhere to help Mimi out and like what Mimi did to stand up for herself Palmon stands up for herself and digivolves to Togemon.

Togemon and Monzaemon have a Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago moment with striking blows to each other as Togemon takes the upper-hand against him by unleashing a Needle Spray attack leaving him down for the count and effectively saving the day.

Monzaemon becomes good again and plays a Hearts Attack With A Hug causing pleasure and laughter for The DigiDestined as they float away in the distance.

Verdict: 8.5/10 This was a complete goof fest through and through but I liked what happened here. It was mostly good stuff with some of the most random moments I have ever seen in a Digimon episode occur here. A giant boxing cactus taking on a giant stuffed bear? Instant gold. Mimi while often being an annoying character made me adore her take "no prisoners attitude" she showcased with the even more aggravating Numemon in this episode. Which were in theory the only real reason that brought my verdict score down. I just wised those Numemon would shut up. Otherwise this was terrific. Keep it coming.

Why not sure.

Edit: 8 seconds late. Wow.

Bump.

speedpunk posted...

Could you please explain this? I don't understand why someone would think that, of two similar animes, the one without a plot is better.

This could go into full debate and all just a matter of opinion but what Pokemon did right better then Digimon in my opinion was that it just a great show to watch when you were down and easier to get into compared to Digimon. Every episode of Pokemon had it's own story. There was a plot to follow but you could sometimes treat it like it was an illusion. You never had to worry about missing an episode and getting lost in the story line.

Digimon's story while better, while growing up it never really threw me into an emotional state at times that Pokemon did for me. I could never erase a moment like Pikachu almost leaving Ash, Ash releasing Butterfree, That episode where the Pokemon were given hilarious subtitles to read, etc. out of my heart and sure it may have been to the fact that Pokemon came out a little over a year or so earlier then Digimon did but I can't take away anything like that from Pokemon since that WAS considered amazing for any six year old growing up like me and apart from my generation.

Digimon's story arguably became nothing (by the time I was old enough to understand what was truly going on in it) particularly in Season 2 when everything because nonsensical like how there were DigiDestined located all around the world yet they couldn't do anything about the fight with Apocalymon back in Season 1. Why?

I don't want to turn this into a debate here but I can't give Pokemon all the credit here with it's story. Pokemon became extremely repetitious and boring to watch even getting mildly interested into the story that was going after Master Quest because Team Rocket developed into a joke and filler episodes were sprouted out of the ground following each other like a mosquito infestation.

If you want to go into more detail about it you can if you like but I prefer it if everything here and everyone is to just relax and watch the whole program playthrough I'm giving to Season 1 of Digimon. Any type of discussion is allowed and I'll politely go through it with anybody for anyone that has problems of opinion and questions I'm giving here to Digimon.

Episode 5: Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker


*The Digi-Destined Walking Through A Barren Area*
Sora: We passed this place before.
Joe: You mean we've walked around the whole planet?
Mimi: That just can't be. I can't walk that far right? I'm so tired!

Over exaggeration at it's finest. The group settles for a pit stop to relax for a little bit with Izzy handling out a plan to do something of sort on his computer until Tai snatches it out of his hands. Tai needs a kick in the noggin for doing that. Computers are not just "dumb things."

Tai's pride and perfect 20/20 vision gets the best of him as he catches a glimpse of an abandoned factory in the distance. He leads the group in finding their way and going the distance. The whole factory looks deserted with equipment here as they are (working?) being pulled apart and randomly put back together.

Our heroes separate with each other into two different groups with Izzy, Mimi, T.K. and Matt discovering the power supply room and Tai, Sora and Joe discovering a wounded Digimon named Andromon stuck like glue in moving equipment. Joe retaliates by not wanting to help move Andromon but Sora puts him in his place for mocking his weak demeanor.

Joe: My mom doesn't want me to move heavy objects. I have bad knees.
Sora: Relax. We'll do it.

Agumon accidentally wakes Andromon up as he becomes evil thanks to the black gear getting stuck inside of him. Andromon goes on the hunt chasing down Tai, Sora and Joe down the whole factory.

Matt, T.K. and Mimi leave Izzy by himself in the power outlet room as he tries to make a headway discovery about the Digital World. Izzy becomes a very likeable character here in this case as while he's serious about his studies he pokes out a joke to tell every now and then.

Izzy: Give me a nano here. *Telling Tentomon To Wait A Second*
Tentomon: I'll even give you three.

We also later find out Izzy has a dark secret he keeps to himself. I'll get to that some other time.

Everyone eventually reunites with each other somewhere in the factory as Andromon attacks taking aim at T.K. and tries to attack him with his own missile attack but Gabumon digivolves to Garurumon blocking the move. Greymon and Garurumon attack with all their might to take down Andromon to no avail with Tai invisioning failure in his eyes.

Tai: Is it possible we could lose?

Izzy acts like Eddie Guerrero for the day (cheating but not lying or stealing. Okay so maybe he's not acting like Eddie Guerrero but still) hacking into his computer making Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon. Kabuterimon and Andromon go to war with each other slamming each others faces down on the metal pathway several times until Izzy reveals that Andromon has a weak point on him and it's in his leg. Kabuterimon fires an Electro Shocker attack releasing the black gear from Andromon who then turns himself back to good again.

Andromon apologizes for the harm he may have caused. The group accepts it as he leads the heroes down the path with what may be the best place for them to explore next. The sewer.

Verdict: 7.5/10 Pretty good episode from beginning to end. I may be underscoring this episode here a little as Izzy was a shining star here but I felt like it was missing something. I think it may be due to the fact that I didn't like the whole factory setting this was all unraveling in I don't know. But I was delighted by everything going on here that I can't really fault the episode here but just nitpick.
