00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Welcome to Digimon Analyzer episode 6. This is MJ. I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm in Digimon Analyzer.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Join me as I talk about Digimon Liberator episode 3.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
All four parts of it. This one was entitled Shrinking Violet. I think that's a little bit of a sarcastic title.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,000
That girl was not shrinking. Maybe she was blooming. She was definitely glimmering, I think is what they said she was doing.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So, yeah, I'll get right to it. Overall, I'm going to say I enjoyed the episode.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
The pacing of it was a little interesting.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
And it was actually more of a...

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
like expository...

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Yeah, it was more of an expository episode.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
It allowed us to catch our breath and to get a little more context, to see a little bit more of Lacuna.

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And... excuse me.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And learn a little bit more about the world building and the characters' mindsets, for example.

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
We learned that Teramon... well, I actually get to that in my notes.

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So, let me just back up a bit. We get to see more of Lacuna.

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And we get to see that the characters... the players, they're not characters, the players in the game...

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
can actually go and talk to the Game Masters who are available to speak with them.

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Upon appointment or upon availability.

19
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
And that's something they can do. Apparently, you can go shopping in...

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
It's called... I think it's Jewel City.

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Yeah, I think it's Jewel City, which is like this city center hub.

22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So if you've ever played any sort of...

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Is that a duck? It's a goose.

24
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Anyway, if you've ever played any sort of MMO, you have like your basic waiting area where there's...

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
items, armor, and items... I mean consumable items, of course.

26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Armor... I don't know. It's been a long time since I played anything, so I don't remember everything that you can get.

27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
But just to put that, and then... oh, you can get missions.

28
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And... or find quests.

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
And then interact with some NPCs, things like that, except for... I don't know if they're all...

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Yeah, I guess if they're NPCs, they'd be the blue-headed...

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
blue... tug of a pen, the nabby ones.

32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Yeah, you can mess with friends just to hang out, and then...

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
disperse from there into the actual areas of the game.

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Or the other, you know, broader areas of the game.

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
And it's interesting to see that, and to also learn in the beginning...

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
I know I'm just running out of stuff right now...

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
that... for whatever reason...

38
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Arista and...

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Choto have been hanging out in...

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
this first zone, this first area...

41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
for months, I think. For three months, and Perowon has actually observed them...

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
for this whole time, as he's been flying around, taking care of his old world.

43
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And... kind of interesting.

44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
That's the way Leaves have thought.

45
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
So to focus in on my notes real quick, I want to talk about Violet Inboots, which is a crazy name.

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Supposedly she was born in the States, or something.

47
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Definitely out of Japan, but has come back in, and she's got rich parents who help her buy a bunch of stuff.

48
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
She's definitely the premium girl.

49
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I find waifu to be a very ugly phrase or term or word.

50
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
It's just like, I want to abandon it. I don't want to use it.

51
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
It's not the kind of thing I'm into.

52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
And, you know, I've got my own waifu at home, so I'm perfectly content in that part of the install.

53
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
I just kind of cringe when I like it.

54
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:55,000
I prefer to use the term premium girl, which is coined by, I believe, the character designer from Evangelion.

55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And it refers to characters like Raiden and Ami, who everybody loses their minds for.

56
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And... yeah. It's a very interesting...

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:13,000
I don't want to get on a whole... I don't want to get on a whole...

58
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I don't want to get on a whole distraction about white memes and white things in the culture or whatever.

59
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
But it's ironic that people evolve into Evangelion to give up that show.

60
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And then years later, one of them said, like, stop, you know, objectifying our girls.

61
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
It's like, come on, you made me be a victim.

62
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
You aren't complaining.

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,000
You're crying into your pile of money from all the merch that the factors have bought based on the procreate that you've designed and the situations you put them into.

64
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
I watched Shibuya when I was in my two-year year, and...

65
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I knew a little bit of literature like that.

66
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
We had a girl up in the piano and stuff.

67
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
But anyway, that's a whole different topic. It's not what we're talking about here.

68
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Violet just screamed that she's a doctor. She's a neurocruster. She's got blonde hair. She's got crazy eyes.

69
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
She's not so gray, but she's like...

70
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Somewhere in that arena, she's got aggressive archetype.

71
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Maybe it's really American, which I fully understand and appreciate and accept as being true.

72
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000
And, you know, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. Michael's one of the best Americans in the universe.

73
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
But, you know, Violet is crazy.

74
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
But it's also like Imbuts Violet.

75
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
I've seen Puss Mutes.

76
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,000
It's really good to be able to just do an older style, but also the way that the Japanese will name each Imbuts Violet.

77
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And I've seen Imbuts, Imbuts, Imbuts.

78
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
I've seen the computer boots, the programming boots, the game.

79
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
What is a pun of the joke here?

80
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Maybe it's just kind of a Puss Mutes type of reference.

81
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
You know, Puss Mutes is a toy mascot, a toy animation mascot.

82
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
I don't know exactly what it is, but it's just a question.

83
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
But I do like the character. She's more than just a big personality.

84
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
A big, pure personality is what I need to say.

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And I like this weird, lovely thing that she has.

86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Even though she's a little coincided with Ousa.

87
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:21,000
And the folder was a lot of fun. You remember, we got a lot of like, best-of-the-best in a lot of lore.

88
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And learning more about the lore, but we also learned this through the beta tester.

89
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000
And we learned that this little piece references to the other side.

90
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
It's directed to the...

91
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
It's a little bit of a debug, but it's what it's called.

92
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000
It's a little bit of an art-pigging movie. The paper, and the program. This is very confused, isn't it?

93
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Okay, so it's kind of just a complete bug.

94
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
So if I go up here and click on card.com, hold tight.

95
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Yeah, it needs to be a novel, and it needs to be a complete bug.

96
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
So we have to just keep that for about a couple of scenarios.

97
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
So yeah, she's a...

98
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Hold on, I'm looking for the art here.

99
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
It actually doesn't look like she's...

100
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I don't know, it's just a few of the numbers.

101
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
But definitely other characters appear in the manga are in the game as well.

102
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Let me just look in the fair side.

103
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
There's a lot of chapters out already. Huh.

104
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
There's 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2.

105
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Oh, there's chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, and even 4.

106
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
And they're all out, so that's pretty cool.

107
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
I'm a little bit checking that out, because it's caught up on the beta, and I'll just keep looking.

108
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I'll just keep looking at the book as they release this thing.

109
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
As long as the book develops and stuff like that, we don't want to do that.

110
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
So...

111
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
I'm going to go through this stuff to get to that.

112
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Unless you guys give me, like, 2000 subscribers and stuff to do to it.

113
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I'll do it.

114
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
But anyway.

115
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
It tells us she was one of the people that did the experiments.

116
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
But she wasn't actually, I guess she was not actually the people that...

117
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
...that were involved in the novel.

118
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Which is kind of more interesting, because it means that she's...

119
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
...in that early beta being involved to itself and...

120
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,000
...being interested in those characters, but it's kind of off to their own universe or...

121
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
...universe, which is probably a great way to do it.

122
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
And we can be more interested in checking out the novel.

123
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And I'm sorry, but you should be doing it if you want to be successful, you know?

124
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Get on the indie world and give it a good lot of points, of course.

125
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
So anyway.

126
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Yeah.

127
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000
She's pretty cool, and I like how she's, like, personally friendly and wants to fight...

128
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
...wants to fight Iris at the end for...

129
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
...I didn't just do this one for Shuman, because she's this collector.

130
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Like, her parents are really just going to help her get a lot of different cards or whatever.

131
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And that's kind of interesting.

132
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
So I wonder how old she is.

133
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
She's sort of like 70, and obviously we know that she has a lot of parents and...

134
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
...having them playing with her.

135
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
And yeah, so we're going to get to see Coolboy.

136
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I have no idea who Coolboy is, but there's some sort of reference to him somewhere.

137
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
He's from somewhere else in the game.

138
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
I don't know if he's a card character, card game character, or where he is, whatever.

139
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
But it's just kind of funny how they drop that reference when they make him.

140
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Like, he's a big character, and like, he's a little ridiculous, but also fun.

141
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
He's one of the GMs, the game masters.

142
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
And I like how he won them, he loses the player status, and that seems to be the sixth so far in this game.

143
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Although, or in the story, although it doesn't seem like enough.

144
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
But I think we're going to find out that there's more going on here, that this isn't just a game.

145
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000
And part of what relates to that is Taramond saying that, like, this is the real world.

146
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
This is his real world, this is the digital world.

147
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
But Coolboy isn't run by humans, it's run by video games, or whatever.

148
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
And Chirara has to wait, and like, no, that's actually not true.

149
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000
It is a game, your world is a game that we're playing, and it's run by humans, and that's just how it is in Taramond.

150
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Like, why are we talking about all this simulation, bro?

151
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Like, that's not how it is, it's fake news.

152
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And I'm like, I want to know what's going on with that, and I'm really interested to see that expand upon and explored in the future,

153
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000
because it's an interesting concept, and I'm just interested to see what's happening.

154
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
So there's been no story developments here, but there's personal developments,

155
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
and there's some world-building stuff going on, and I'm definitely interested in those things, as they are right now.

156
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
I guess the next episode, which is going to be called Fable of Wolves,

157
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,000
is all going to be a battle between Marisa and your girl Violet,

158
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:46,000
and Violet's got a new Ghost Inquisitor, and I kind of suspect that she also has a new Wild Inquisitor that she's sticking to her dick,

159
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
but I don't think there's a Ghost Inquisitor, I think it's something else,

160
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
because she referenced a Wild Inquisitor, and I wouldn't be shocked if she had captured one or encountered one herself.

161
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Like, she's got like, her main character's dick design, you'd think she would have gotten one of those,

162
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
or maybe she would have got one afterwards, or I don't know, but we will see.

163
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:10,000
I kind of thought she had the ink moniker, which I still think she has the ink moniker, because it shows her dick when there's a dick.

164
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Do you know what the else moniker really is?

165
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Yeah, so that is one for you guys to figure out.

166
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
And, yeah.

167
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Anyway, I'm interested to see what goes on in the game, what's going on.

168
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:32,000
I want to say the story, but it's not really a story, but it's also not a story, but it's soft, so...

169
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah, yeah. I'll make some, take care, be well.
