Digimon Tamers, Vol. 1 (of 1)

Alright this season I only dabbled in, so I'll be just as confused as you if we take the same lightning round approach as the others!

Takato Mitsuki has a Japanese name, and meets Guilmon, who's more animal-like in behavior than previous partners. Digimon is just a (card?) game in this world....UNTIL NOW. Rika's Renamon beats a Lynxmon in Takato's dream...OR WAS IT A DREAM. His friends laugh at him. Takato follows his Digivice that he has, and finds Guilmon, so this is a flashback I guess. Oh right, he made up Guilmon at the beginning, but because I was paying sub-optimal attention, I missed that that happened in the flashback part, not right after he met Guilmon.

Anyway. Takato Mitsuki has a Japanese name, and meets Guilmon. Takato puts on goggles to be like Tai. (there's a longstanding Digimon tradition that the main kid wears goggles in every iteration) But Calumon has popped out of the sky somewhere too! Dun dun dun...

Guilmon shows up at school, not pulling off the cardboard box trick quite at Snake levels. He causes a ruckus, and Henry and his Terriermon chastise Takato for not being more careful. We find a better spot to park Guilmon for the future, but he gets the crazies and charges off, winding up in a fight with Rika and Renamon. Rika's gonna put him down like all the others because that's all Digimon do. Henry tries to stop the fight, but Rika insists, taking the Pokemon game approach of grinding for xp/data/shinies.

Terriermon digivolves to Gargomon and starts shooting everything. Guilmon saves Rika at some point. This Gargomon thing has apparently already been an issue, as shown via flashback. Terriermon came from a game, and Henry digivolved him when he was about to die, and didn't like the whole fighting thing, so he wants him to stay at Rookie and stay in control. His dad points out that it's just a dang game, but no. And obviously it's not just a game now, so that's fun.

Renamon is still grinding but can't evolve for some reason. Impmon mocks her for having a human partner. We get their background story- Rika was the best at the game, and would only accept the best partner, which Renamon took to mean herself. And then we continued to be competitive at anything that moved. Post-flashback, Renamon is having trouble with a Dokugumon. She takes a bad hit, Calumon is there, and Renamon digivolves to Kyubimon for the win and an increased social link.

Whoops, Guilmon disappears into thin air, and something's up with Terriermon too. Rena is still too cool to be worried about MERE DATA, despite her character development a couple pages ago, but we still all team up to investigate. We follow a signal, find Guilmon tied up underground, grab him, and the place blows up. Kay. We have seen some mysterious folks monitoring the situation a few times now.

Impmon tries to mock Guilmon, but he's too naive to care. He then terrorizes a couple named Jo and Mimi. I am not mad at all that that's the closest we're ever going to get to a canon resolution of that ship. Not at all. That's a great name for two randos on a date. Go off.
