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.
