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.
