This is MJ. I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm an analyzer. You can find all my work

00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,760
at mjmunoz.com. Welcome to Digimon Chronicles. This is episode 24 and I will

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,480
be talking about Digimon Dreamers, the manga, chapter 4. So as I talked about

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,600
last time I thought there would be some action coming up and sure enough there

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,320
is action in this chapter and I'm happy to see that. The pacing of it feels a

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,040
little bit funny because it almost makes it seem like this is days later or it's

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:38,600
another trip that Ritsu has taken into the digital world but that's what it

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,120
seems like from the opening of the chapter but from the fact that Ogremon

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,440
is there stealing the Cyprus meat it feels very much just like a continuation

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:54,000
of the previous episode. So maybe it's the case that after Ritsu and Pulsemon

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,960
ate a bunch of Tanamon's meat, I mean Cyprus meat, that they you know perhaps

12
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,200
arrested for a little bit of time and then Pulsemon proceeded to do his heavy

13
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,160
bag or I guess it's just a punching bag you know training at the punching bag

14
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,440
and you know he showed a lot of strength and that's pretty interesting I guess

15
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,840
I'm wondering given the fact that he's eaten so much and that he's taking so

16
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,760
much abuse from Ogremon in the course of this chapter if it is possible that he

17
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,840
will have met the conditions to Digivolve in the next chapter. I kind of

18
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,320
thought or assumed that Dreamers would just be a quest like a comedic as I

19
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:41,440
started reading it more and more which I know we're only in the fourth chapter so

20
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,320
I guess by the third chapter I thought I don't know this guy's ever gonna Digivolve

21
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,080
I think it'll just be kind of gags and some comedy and you know maybe some

22
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,840
fights and some adventure as they're trying to figure out what to do to get

23
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,160
him to Digivolve but it wouldn't actually happen but it seems based on

24
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,840
everything that's happened in the last two chapters that he very well could

25
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Digivolve in the next chapter which I think would be pretty fun and exciting. I

26
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,760
think the possibility of this Bokmon which I don't know that's a real

27
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,720
Digimon or not or if that's just something Pulsemon was making up and

28
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,160
that Yabunyo got a chance to just have fun and make a fake Digimon you know

29
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:26,040
like they did with that the Vmon or is it XVmon and XVmon and Angemon

30
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Jorgas or DNA Digivolution that they you know joked about and like I don't know if

31
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,560
that was supposed to be Vmon or Daisuke Davis's like you know crayon

32
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,880
drawing of you know Super Dancer Angelmon or whatever that was in 02 so

33
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,040
like I don't know if it's one of those Digimon or not but I think the

34
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,760
Bokomon design looked pretty cool it's you know simple but it's kind of a neat

35
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:54,840
idea and I have to steal the look of that or the concept of going from Pulsemon

36
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,720
to Bokomon for my for one of my writing projects because I'm doing a you know

37
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,400
not Digimon a legally distinct Digimon story idea that it's just kind of like a

38
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,320
background element of something but of course well not of course you don't know

39
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,800
this but when I develop background elements for stuff I like to go as hard

40
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,280
as I can and make them as cool as I can and almost approach it as if you know

41
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320
what if I were actually doing this as my main project what would that look like

42
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,160
and how would I you know how would I develop that and how would it make sense

43
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,640
so it's something it's a danger of being me when I'm creating stuff but anyway I

44
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,720
don't want to get too distracted talking about that but the idea of just being

45
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,480
like bigger and bulkier and maintaining the like emblem on his chest and some

46
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240
other key visual things so he looks basically like the same guy but just

47
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,320
kind of grown up as opposed to you know a you know new mom on turning into like a

48
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,920
like a Coromon turning into a new one turning into a raremon champion or

49
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,800
ultimate level anyway raremon is like crazy I can't see anything did you

50
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:01,720
fall for into that or like you know a new mom on well I know just the Digivolution

51
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,520
is weird and if you're a Digimon fan you know you've seen what like the actual

52
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,560
digital digital digital lines are and they're crazy I think Tamers had the

53
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560
sweet spot well Tamers has my favorite approach where they're like logically

54
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,400
consistent all the way through and they just look really cool and they're like

55
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,360
tailor-made for being you know hero lines which I think is well that's that

56
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,480
makes the most sense that's what I would do anyway I guess it's more fun and more

57
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,400
free if you haven't done the crazy random way that they originally had it

58
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,560
for the was it the V pet V tamer whatever the original Digimon you know

59
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,440
portable handheld game was called anyway it's cool that Ogremon actually comes

60
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,880
in and attacks and his monkey Digimon who I don't know the name of says

61
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,600
something to the effect of there seems to be a curse on Cyprus town where the

62
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,720
Digimon who live there won't did you evolve or have a very difficult time

63
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,480
digivolving there's an Ogremon and a Patamon which are rookies and I don't

64
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,400
know if Pokemon is a I guess he's a rookie too the others are all babies

65
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,800
there's you know I'm not gonna name them all you saw them um but I think there's

66
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,960
there's babies and fresh I don't know I don't remember how exactly it goes but

67
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:26,960
there's lower level Digimon there mostly and you know I believe pulse wants a

68
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,880
rookie yeah both one is a rookie as well so it is interesting this concept of

69
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,080
this Cyprus town being cursed where they have a more difficult time

70
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,960
digivolving and looks like Ogremon is from a different location different

71
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,840
town adjacent to Cyprus town but you know outside of it so he's been he's

72
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,920
not been affected by that so I think that's kind of an interesting concept

73
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,080
that there could be something wrong with that little area of the digital world

74
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,920
and I wonder if it has to do with if it has anything to do with the fact that

75
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:05,080
pulse one was able to summon Ritsu into his into Cyprus town essentially and I

76
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,320
know it's just kind of curious but I'm definitely looking forward to more of a

77
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:16,240
fight next time I've been watching you show and pulse one saying that he like

78
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,720
wants to endure the abuse of the fight because every you know bit of pain he

79
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,760
injures is bringing him closer to digivolving and him just getting back up

80
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,960
again and again after getting knocked down made me think pulse one is

81
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,480
basically you scale your meshi like that is a really interesting thing to do

82
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,280
that's really cool and yeah he's like a crazy punk and I like that I like you

83
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:45,400
scale on and we love the whole cast is great but yeah I like thinking of pulse

84
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:52,880
man as like you ske and just the attitude and the ambition and everything

85
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,640
that he is going for him is really interesting and really fun and I like

86
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,200
seeing it play out and I like ogre man ogre man I like ogre man freaking out

87
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:08,000
at how much pulse man is interested in continuing the fight you know to his

88
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680
detriment because ultimately you know pulse one thinks it's to his benefit and

89
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680
ogre man just thinks I'm gonna kill this guy not that I think he has a

90
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,560
problem with killing him he just thinks he's a freak for inviting death and not

91
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,320
being scared of it which is what I'm sure ogre one would prefer to see so

92
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,640
yeah I'm interested in what's gonna go on I'm expecting that he will did you

93
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,920
evolve in the next chapter or you know very near very soon than the next couple

94
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,920
chapters and I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on it if you think my you

95
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,840
know you scale your meshi equals pulse man assessment is correct and if you

96
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,200
think he'll did you evolve soon or you think he'll spend the whole manga not

97
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,560
did you evolving at all and yeah I'd like to hear your thoughts on those

98
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,720
speculative questions or my opinions as well as the you know your thoughts in

99
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,080
the actual chapter itself so anyway until next time folks take care this is
