Comment/Review:
I won't let your high hopes down. I absolutely hate Gary Stu.
I'm glad that not everyone accepted that "He just shows up and we're supposed to love him and his perfection" bullshit. (pardon MY advanced French)
Yes, Ryo apparently got his start at the same time as Yolei (and according to some, Ken).
We'll see about that when Frontier gets to North America. I know I'll be keeping an eye open.
The whole thing with the Wonderswan you need to keep in mind that Ryo can't remember anything earlier than about a year and a half ago.
His comment about the journey was a suitably feeble attempt at humour.
In this fic, the odds were about 1-1.
I like the term "Shinka", I'm doing a dub fic, you do the math.
Ryo's not exactly thinking at his best at the second, since he's just become more confused as to his identity.
Your french is pardoned.
Chuchie has a large amount of power and influence over even the other Sovereigns. Therefore he can pull crap like this.
Yep, major bias here. On both counts.
I was counting on you not even thinking of her. If there's one thing I pride myself on, it's misleading hints and clever plot-twists.
Thanks, I guess. I'll take that as a compliment.
Yep, I think people ending up in the same part of a world which is supposedly comparable in size to ours as people from a completely different area makes no sense. Naturally, I chose to avoid that stupid cliche.
Just for the record Strikedramon, despite the ridiculous description, is Monodramon's actual Champion form.
Yep, they have to work together in an extreme case like this, so of course they learn to work together as a team quickly.
I haven't yet determined Alice's status, however I'm leaning towards a "yes" on that one.
The disappearance of the Sovereigns is a deliberate move. Keep in mind that most of the time there focused on the battles and ignored anything which might be going on at the same time.
Yes, I had my character meet Ryo first in order to establish the irony of having an imperfect SI and a Gary Stu-esque actual character.
I can't really say much on this without giving things away, but I can tell you that when they serve their purpose it's going to be unexpected.
Oh, I can guarantee that Ryo isn't going to come out of this fic in as few (1) pieces as he started in. And, since he's already a GS, I'm going to give him the damn Noble Death.
The one thing that gives away more than commercials? Japanese titles! (Seriously, the Japanese title for "Lionheart" contained the words "Leomon's Death"!) | Reviewed By: ...Very interesting... On: September 04, 2002 13:37 CDT
Comment/Review:
Believe it, it is possible to write original characters without having them become the dreaded Mary Sue/Gary Stu, but it's difficult. However, I have high hopes that you'll be able to avoid falling into that trap.
I understand what you mean about your comment of Ryo seeming like a Gary Stu. He seriously annoyed me when he first appeared, as my first impression was somewhat akin to Ruki's.
Does Ryo really appear in the 'American super-edited Digimon Movie'? I do remember him appearing briefly as Ken's human companion in flashbacks in 02, but...
...Yeah, like that. Does this mean that Ryo is like Cid from the Final Fantasy series, and is going to show up in each series...?
Ryo has a flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? "I just had a potientally life-changing revalation! ...Time for a nap. Zzzz..."
...If Ryo's had a Wonderswan and that particular game for so long, why did he never notice the simulatries between him and the main character before? You would think he would pick up on that the first time... Of course, it may be plausible that he noticed it before, but shrugged it off as unimportant.
Is Ryo's comment about the difficulty of going on a journey of self-discovery with others a veiled reference to Matt's leaving the team during the Dark Masters arc...?
You know, he could always have tried 'Digital Gate Open'...
...How graceful.
What are the chances that Ryo's old Veemon would happen to walk right on by just after Ryou crash-landed? I guess the digital world has a knack for dropping you where you need to be, not always where you want to be...
Shinka Mountain? Appropriate name...
Great, instead of confronting that overgrown turkey directly and insisting on being let in on knowledge that could help the Tamers work to benefit the digital world, they're going to risk being caught as spies and getting into major trouble, possibly straining the relationship between the representatives of both worlds even more. Smooth, Ryou, real smooth...
Great, another cliffhanger that spoils a bit too much. At the very least, couldn't they wait to broadcast these things until AFTER the current episode is finished? Would it really hurt their ratings that badly...?
On a side note, for some reason I do like the timing of Rika's final comment in the commerical.
Zhuquaomon is, pardon my French, a complete and total dumbass. I'm sure that when his foolish attempts to keep the closest thing the digital world has to capable reinforcements results in losses that could have been prevented, his stubborn mind will find a way to blame those deaths on the Tamers as well. Too bad Phoenix-boy can't be reduced to ashes and forced to be reborn sometime... maybe that would help him to re-evaluate his skewed viewpoint.
So they're willing to forgo any help because of mistrust. Hasn't it dawned on them that it may be possible that the other Tamers have no idea there may be a traitor amoung them, and might want to do something about it themselves...?
Digiconquerer...? Pfft...
Oh, yes, what a fine strategy... Can anybody else say, 'discrimination'?
Heck, the discrimination's coming in spades here... Not just digimon hating humans, but vaccines hating viruses and vice-versa. Still, this all but confirms for me that there is likely to be at least one traitor among the horde of attendees...
Alice? Alice McCoy? That goth dead girl that looks like she was ripped directly out of Lain...? ...Makes sense. I forgot about her, since she wasn't around long... My mistake, it seems.
Again with the revalation of just how the commerical was skewed to lead people to believe one thing and leading to another. Interesting... You know, this means my current theory that the Champion digimon that Ruki seems so upset to have rescuing the tamers is really Bakemon's Champion form could be wrong... Ah well.
Woo, Darkexveemon sounds sweet. ...Oh, and his tamer's okay too, I guess.
All right, a Canadian Tamer! ...Sort of. Well, it's better than somebody straight of America...
Interesting card slash posture...
Oh, good, Monodramon has a Champion level now...
For two digimon who just met, Monodramon and DarkVeemon get along quite well as a team. I suppose circumstances such as these would force them to learn how to work together quickly...
Great, so is Goth girl dead for real or not? That would make things difficult...
Where the hell are the four Sovereigns? Now that the threats over, you would think one of them would have the sense to approach Ryo and Adam...
...Good, Adam's not perfect. He doesn't know all about digimon, he's unprepared for the responsiblity of being a tamer, struggled a bit in that battle, and promises to be a total handful as he tries to learn the ropes. How refreshing. There's a delicious irony in the fact that the first Tamer he met is Ryo, mister "Look-at-me-I'm-so-perfect-even-though-I'm-now-having-an-identity-crisis" himself.
Yeah, we've got the replacement angle with Yamaki's daughter already, we don't need a Gary Stu around. This promises to be fun...
...Crossover...? No, you wouldn't be that obvious yet. Another Tamer with a Salamon, perhaps...? Then again, a connection has already been established, so perhaps the Veemon and Salamon are related in some fashion to the ones in Adventure... Reformatted/reborn versions, or descendants.
I wouldn't mind if you killed off Ryo, noble death or not.
Multiple partners...? Ah, now that's an interesting angle, threat of an old enemy returning or not! I doubt Renamon's willing to share, though... | Reviewed By: mr.coconut On: September 01, 2002 07:41 CDT

Sorry... I didn't mean to mess up your gender. It was just that I wasn't quite certain, and didin't want to assume from the title alone what would happen... That, and most self-inserts seem to be females who develop a relationship with one of the other Tamers...

Comment/Review:
Actually, that one really was a plot-hole arising from trying to get this one done.
I decided I've already used a fair number of overly-dramatic screams, and I knew I would have at least one other later in this chapter.
I'll be honest with you, this was an error arising from never having seen the beginning of the episode.
Yamaki still doesn't exactly have the best logic relating to Digimon and weapons (Even after three failures of Hypnos equipment and counting)
Yes. perfect place, particularly considering how it ends.
I'm doing a deliberately vague commercial this time around.
Yes, you are correct in guessing that is an appearance by a higher form of Darkveemon saving Ryo's ass. As for Myotismon... you'll see what happens there.
The commercial, the description of the episode, even (to a lesser extent) the title said this battle was coming.
Yes, Growlmon should have waited until he knew his enemy was really finished, but even later in the series Guilmon had occasional lapses in judgement. Besides, Takato's knowledge of the Gate of Destiny (from a whopping ONE use in the anime) was that what goes in is in. Therefore, he didn't see any need to warn Growlmon about anything.
Yes, Myotismon is back. As for whether that's a good thing or not... you'll see. All I know is that it was once said that there are no evil Digimon. (Then again, it was also said that Digimon have no gender.)
Ashley's personality is becoming clearer and clearer until you could swear she was actually in the anime. (she isn't based on anyone, by the way)
I couldn't just leave you with the cliffhanger of an ending from the last chapter for a week.
Say whatever you wanted to say about Yamaki. This fic is rated "R". It was not intended to be read by kids.
Once again, I made sure to make everything for the next episode vague, so you can tell that there's going to be another surprise.
The title is not referring to Darkveemon's tamer. I can tell you that safely because I am HIM. | Reviewed By: Fascinating... On: August 10, 2002 20:35 CDT
Comment/Review:
Kind of interesting that Rika refers to dollars and then mentions that they're in Japan, instead of using Yen... Just another example of how strange the dub can be, I suppose...
Man, Henry didn't even get a chance to scream out his little sister's name melodramatically before MarineAngemon saved her...not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's good that their defensive Mega has quick reflexes...
I don't recall Takato ever attempting to use cards on Megidramon... Didn't his original D-Arc shatter immediately after he forced him to digivolve? I remember it falling from his limp fingers and breaking on the ground...
Yamaki is cold-hearted and stupid if he thought he could just shoot Megidramon/Guilmon and kill him like that. But at least Guilmon's safe...relatively...
Perfect place for a family reunion, isn't it?
Ashley certainly recovered fast. Fast enough to fling a biting remark at her father before getting plunged back into the fray...
Another commerical, and it looks like Ryo's getting screwed over. It looks like Myotismon's going to play a role, as I can't think of any other digimon with batty attacks off the top of my head... and I hope I'm not too far off in guessing a certain digimon who made a brief cameo in the previous ep has something to do with that last line?
Growlmon against Megidramon. We knew this was coming from the glimpse in the last commerical.
That's an interesting way to attempt to deal with Megidramon... but shouldn't Growlmon have waited until he was certain his evil Mega counterpart was completely through and the gate sealed behind him before turning away?
Another scene from the commerical... Right, knew that had to fit in somewhere.
Bakemon's back in the form he premired in. It remains to be seen whether or not this is a good thing...
I can understand Ashley's anger. Maybe she's a better match for Impmon than she realizes...
Thanks for putting this up before your trip, I honestly appreciate it.
Yes, Yamaki is a creep and a loser, with a obvious dark side that he lets take over far too often. Anyone who can listen to the screams of all the innocents he's killed (or, in some instances, in the process of killing) and just smile in satisfaction is a true... Well, most of the words I want to use to describe him aren't suitable for a rating that could be read by little kids on the site...
At this point, my best guess is that Jeri is going to pull a Ken with her new partner at her side. It would be interesting to see how the team handles it if that's the case, or if it's another Myotismon (and maybe it's a different digimon entirely and the bats thing is just misleading me) causing trouble and they injustly blame her partner...
...The title's too obvious to be a real hint. Maybe it's refering to that cute digimon in the previous ep's Tamer or something... | Reviewed By: Pistoffveemon [MediaMiner Member] On: August 07, 2002 19:38 CDT
Comment/Review:
It appears that the first scene had its desired effect. Of course Henry wouldn't really act like that
Yes, I admit that trick was a little mean, but it was better than any other possible ending for that bit.
The ante had, of course, been upped, and it shoould have been obvious that Shadowdevimon would Digivolve from the second his Mega was mentioned.
Oh, trust me. He'll find a partner. A partner without any flaws at all. (I'm kidding, I hate Mary Sues and Gary Stus as much as the next person)
It was implicit that Takato had ducked or hidden or something to avoid being spotted. He even said (on the phone) that he couldn't hide for long.
Not only could the bakery not handle the battle, but Growlmon wouldn't fit in it!
Yeah, the attacks were pretty obvious. Looking back, I didn't need the "voice".
Actually, Kyubimon was there already waiting for the right opportunity when Shadowdevimon would have his guard down. That, of course, came when he was in the middle of one attack and couldn't use another one to counter hers.
And there are the commercials again. Shamelessly giving away "secrets" to the plot. And, as strage as it seems, the battle between those two will make sense with all the events leading up to it.
Takato got slightly distracted for a second by something he knew was wrong, but Rika put him back on track. No, no characters will peer through the fourth wall in this fic.
Yeah, that did sound terrible, but it suited the situation. And, yes, that is the ultimate in bad timing.
Please refer to my previous comment on the commercials.
Yamaki has a secret weapon with him to neutralize the threat. Unfortunately it only works at close-range (Of course it's not going to work exactly as it should, nothing does, least of all Hypnos equipment)
Yes, I'll admit that line probably would have seemed more at home in Kenta's mouth, but Kazu can't be a big goof all the time.
I will have to refer you back to my comment on your first reaction to Darkveemon.
Yes, in other words we now have two Megas who do nothing for the Tamers' offence. | Reviewed By: Frightening... On: August 07, 2002 18:40 CDT
Comment/Review:
...Okay, Henry is freaking me out. Not only has he pulled an uncharacteristicaly stupid move by taking Ashley out by themselves without the other Tamers and the digimon when Shadowdevimon is still at large, but he's appearantly trying to make Ashley even more nervous about him. Has Henry really changed so much from his former cautious self, to invite disaster like this...?
...Okay, I get it now. That was a little mean, you know. But I'm sure Terriermon and Impmon would stop Henry if he ever did turn crazy enough to do something as horrible as that...
My God... Shadowdevimon's seriously upping the ante. If the Tamers don't find him soon, he could get enough energy to digivolve... not to mention take more precious lives...
A black-colored Veemon? Sounds cute. Hope he finds a partner...
How can Takato just simply pick up a phone when a digimon just bust down the door? Did he duck behind the counter and grab it or something?
Yeah, I imagine the bakery couldn't take a serious digimon battle right inside...
Why say simply voice if they announce their attacks? It's pretty clear from those alone who's who... unless Ashley and Henry have taken to calling out attacks for their digimon...
Kyubimon has good timing, if she could get in there in the instant after he summoned the sword and before he could grab it...
...Well, that throws some of the drama right out the window. But it looks like something's gone wrong if those two can fight each other...
Where did Leomon come from? Maybe they should concentrate on the far more pressing problem of defeating their enemy - they don't know yet that he's gonna be defeated, after all, unless they're capable of breaking the fourth wall...
...Takato's parents have horrible timing... had horrible timing... Gah, that sounds terrible, doesn't it? Sorry...
I thought so. The red hood in the commerical was a dead giveaway...
Yamaki's heading over there? What the heck is he thinking? And that's hardly the best spot for him to see his wayward daughter for the first time in however long - right in the line of fire!
...That seems a line more suited for Kenta than Kazu, but...
Oh, Darkveemon's gonna be your SI's character... Well, that's fine. So long as you don't make them too perfect... From what I've seen so far, that shouldn't be a problem, since you've been showing some of the others' flaws very clearly...
Well, we've got TWO Megas right now, though one's a little fairy-type that's more suited to defensive manuvers than anything else and the other's a warped projection of his Tamer's anger and grief... | Reviewed By: Pistoffveemon [MediaMiner Member] On: August 06, 2002 12:13 CDT
Comment/Review:
Henry's mother is... out of the picture. I'm not saying dead, I'm just saying out of the picture.
Yamaki's reaction is going to be great (as in priceless). I promise you that.
About Leomon, you're close, but you're forgetting two details to which reference was made in the first chapter. One for how Leomon got out, another for why Impmon didn't tell Jeri.
What you need to keep in mind about Terriermon and Lopmon is the surprise could have been over their reunion. (Plus Chuchie wouldn't have wanted any of his Devas to remember happy times with humans, so Lopmon might not remember Terriermon.)
Yes, Talley is the one sitting with Riley. What was not canon (at least not English canon, I'm unsure of Japanese) was my comment on Riley's love life.
Interesting theory for Suzie. I might consider using it. As for Ai and Mako, I've decided that Impmon took a wrong turn on the path to destiny. They weren't originally supposed to be his partners, but at the end they gained their D-Power because they had forged a bond which wasn't originally supposed to exist.
Takato doesn't need anger management. Picture this situation: you watch a monster cold-bloodedly murder your parents and drain their energy. You have a monster of your own who turns into a powerful, vicious creature when you comand him to in anger. He isn't powerful enough at his current stage. You could very well be next if he isn't stopped. What would you do? | Reviewed By: Responding to the response... On: August 06, 2002 08:59 CDT
Comment/Review:
I do have to wonder about Henry's mother, of course... Does she have any say in this? Or have I missed some hint that she isn't around to comment on this anymore?
I can outsmart a Numemon... That's good to hear. Should be interesting to see how he reacts when he finds out his daughter's now a Tamer... Even if he has become a bit more tolerable over the course of the series. I outright hated the guy early on, and the fact that he never seemed to completely repent over all those digimon he deleted didn't help his case...
I suppose that's true about Jeri... I shouldn't have been so shocked after her little blow-up at Impmon.
Feh... My parents seem to think that 'quality time' consisting of sitting around the TV watching some stupid show and ranting about the stupidity of the vapid airheads they cast on those reality shows. Only thing it's good for is seeing a bunch of losers strut around preening themselves for the cameras. Trust me, you're not missing much...
I assumed that Leomon's being out of Beezlemon may have had something to do with Impmon's guilt over murdering him before, and the fact that they were returned to the digital world. Having seen so much on how will effects everything in the digital world, it doesn't seem completely farfetched that Impmon may have been able to rid himself of Leomon's data at some point when he repented and gave up the power granted him by the Devas. This could have even occured back in the Digital World when he allowed himself to be nearly deleted by those digimon that attacked him - using the Fist of the Beast King on the kernel may have been the last few vestiges of strength he had gained from absorbing the Champion. Or it had something to do with Ai and Mako obtaining a D-Arc - in season one, the Chosen could use their digivices to expel unwanted data from a digimon (like the Dark Rings), so he may have gotten them to do something similar before they were forced back to the digital world. As for why he didn't inform Jeri - when they got back, he was more interested in finding his own Tamers first, and when he heard the news, was too shocked to think of much else - plus Jeri was being so cruel he may have been too upset with her to let her own her own partner was okay. Then, when Bakemon showed up, he just let it go, deciding that if she could replace Leomon so easily, she didn't need to know the truth...
I don't know if they could be the same Terriermon and Lopmon, since they seemed honestly surprised at the sight of each other when they met... But anything is possible.
Wait - is Talley that woman sitting with Riley in that huge elevated chair in the center of Hypnos? Oh...you said she wasn't canon... never mind.
Suzie may have become a Tamer because of her own will (she pulled herself into the digital world when she saw Terriermon in the sky, and established a bond with Lopmon all on her own). As for Ai and Mako, so little is known about Impmon's first arrival, but it seems odd that it took so long for them to get a D-Arc... Perhaps it was a case of where a naive, inexperianced Impmon simply chose the first human he saw upon bio-emerging, which happened to be one of the twins, and the connection simply wasn't there until the end, when it was really a bit too late for them to spend much time developing the newly created bond.
Geez... sounds like Takato and Guilmon really need to go into anger management classes... Well, mostly just Takato, but what in the world would you do with Guilmon while they were being held? | Reviewed By: Pistoffveemon [MediaMiner Member] On: August 05, 2002 22:36 CDT
Comment/Review:
Janyu didn't really have much of a choice. He was still feeling guilty over what happened before (and of course Henry played that like a Hellfire card against Sakuyamon) and Henry had highlighted the other possibilities.
As for his knowledge of Henry's "Hobbies" he didn't have a reason to bring it up previously, or a time when Suzie was out of the room. He mentioned it very subtly at this point because Suzie was there, but he wasn't about to let it go unsaid.
The grudge was obvious, reasonable, and the reason Janyu was being a "nice guy" over Henry's collection.
Ashley... I don't need to say anything. And somehow Henry's "reassurance" didn't seem too comforting either. (that was deliberate)
I don't know, all I know is that Takato was going off on all kinds of tangents in his explanation and was about to mention things he knew very little about. Therefore I conveniently cut it off.
First, I have never seen Yamaki do anything with that lighter except flick it as a stress reliever. Second, I don't know what made me decide that Yamaki should be allowed to breed. (j/k, Yamaki fans don't flame) And third, Congratulations, Anonymous. You've passed the "Can you outsmart a Numemon" test.
Ashley wanted to make Rika suffer emotionally before she suffered physically (if you remember, the rules implicitly said that after the digimon was deleted the tamer was next).
Yep, alleys are nothing but trouble, especially on TV.
Jeri stopped being anything resembling innocent after her "encounter" with the D-Reaper.
You'll see how that one plays out. I'm definitely going to have at least one very serious episode in here at some point.
I have never lowered myself to watch Big Brother. I feel that it probably has George Orwell rolling in his grave. However, I retract my comment on replayed scenes.I made the attribute change cards, I intend to use them until you're sick of them.
What Bakemon actually did was hitting Leomon with the right force. If he had used his more powerful move, Leomon would have been deleted along with the control. I'm surprised you didn't question how he got out of Beelzemon, since Jeri designed the Data Release card.
Wallace (or "Willis" for those unfamilliar with the Japanese third movie) not only had two partners, but Terriermon and Lopmon, none the less. Am I pathetic enough to make them the same ones (Thus establishing a Tamers-Adventure connection)? That's irrelevant for now, but I've done some pretty cheap things so far...
I needed another attack which embodied evil, I chose a couple. Your reaction was exactly what I was going for.
Very few people would know. Somehow her name becomes lost in the shuffle because she's [editorial comment, not canon] not screwing the boss. [end editorial]. I needed someone relatively important to die, but I wasn't going to drop Riley, so Talley became the victim.
Indeed, the twist is WITH WHO? I'm not even sure how I'm doing that one yet (although that second idea seems like a good one, although I would have to account for Suzie, Ai and Mako).
Shadowdevimon is fast approaching his Waterloo, but it will take a lot (You may notice that Shadowdevimon isn't mentioned specifically in the commercial when Takato's anger takes over), and absolutely nothing says that Megidramon won't go wild after the fight. And here's a free hint as to the twist there, the sixth episode is tenatively titled "His Own Worst Enemy". | | Pages (4): [ « < 1 2 3 4 > » ] |
