Now, with all the hype and love for Digimon Beatbreak of many in fandom, let's be honest:

Like all other parts of Digimon, it has a terrible way to tell its story despite of its good lore.

Just think it's a good writing session~ Maybe lore or not. Who knows?

[ozoraslegend]

Tenma Tomoro, Souda Raito and their writing.

Well, I won't make an analysis, since we haven't finish the show.

How they are written in core is acceptable.

How they are portraited isn't.

After some eps of learn and unlearn (repeatedly, I must say), Tomoro showed notice to Raito. And then let Gekkomon fight without letting him evolve since he is trying to shout at Raito. It's clear from how much the two fought before that talking won't be enough.

Redemption arc concept is good itself. Ken's arc is... fine. Raito's one just takes all bad

At least try to apologize, genius. Hope it will be in next week.

Make bratty attitude to a character then explain why is not really a pleasurable writing way.

And genius trope. Oh, come on. That is not even a morally gray acceptable reason.

Raito is hypocritical for saying "control emotions". And for a genius who copies after see, hitting others is not the thing you should copy...

I like the two boys really. But like always, make potential things and waste it rolling down the hill is something really d

I really hope this is NOT another Daiken.

(Everyone is really obsessed with "dark edgy topics" and "dark evo", huh.)

Finally finishing catching up with the show, and it is entertaining, at least.

Have a nice day, if you have read until here.

The Sleeping Beau in the Wood

The Sleeping Beau in the Wood

~CLICK HERE~

A sumptuous Digimon Frontier retelling of the classic fairy tale SLEEPING BEAU with gorgeous full-color art that will bring this tale to life for a new generation of readers. The classic tale of SLEEPING BEAU is retold by acclaimed author Elizabeth Mayuku, and joined with detailed paintings that bring the story to life. When the king and queen throw a banquet in honor of the birth of their son, they invite all of the fairies, but one, Suero, who attends the feast, seeking revenge. He curses the baby, but his evil intentions are undone by the good fairy who instead promises years of sleep. The pages are trimmed with exquisite borders to give it a classic feel, and the lavish full-color art is highlighted with black and white sketches.

Beatbreak somewhat is like the official version of a certain kind of fanfic:)

Jokes aside, I am really surprised this show has crossed that many of limits. It has a good tone, and dearing (or punchbaiting, look at you, Naito) characters.

Now, some people say its plot is weak. And... I don't really agree. Digimon is never about plots, or to be detailed, a story with plot and twists and attractive narrative.

What plot do you want from a show of "we have pet/other half of our soul and we fight with them against their kind (and sometime our kinds)"?

Instead of bare plots, maybe you should stick it with other things.

For ex: Adventure is not really... a good story. It is really straightforward, but its simple plot is lifted by very deep character arc bound by Crest.

02 plot is... messy, if I am positive. Yet its dynamic between characters is important, and almost everything won't make sense if you don't put the relationship and growth of the 02 duo over the plot.

Tamer's begining is really too slow-faced, but the "deconstruction" (actually no, but it's the shortest description) and unique character traits keep people with it.

Put that view into Beatbreak and you will see: although the plot is not progressing much, although 99% time is about dark deep topic,

But how the characters are written, their dynamics, the tropes being overthrown, how they use reality logic in the problems they show, now that is what makes Beatbreak wonderful.

I won't be biased, and that is to say Tomoro Tenma is a fine character. Hope to see how his arc will continue to the end.

Digimon has never been a show about plot, and maybe will never, and I love it.

If you really want deep twisted plot, maybe you should play Umineko.

What kind of negative critique about Digimon Beatbreak have you seen so far, and what do you think about it?

[alpaca-clouds]

Yes, this is a good take.

Digimon was always a show built on characters, not on plot. Some of the seasons also had really good worldbuilding, but plot was never the driving force of it. Which is, to be fair, a good decision, because plotdriven anime with that many episodes tend to faulter for a variety of reasons - especially while still keeping the fairly young target demographic in mind. (It is easier to follow character driven stories once a week for a year than plot driven stories, that usually tend to expect you to remember a lot more details, rather than a general vibe.)

Digimon at its core is a show about kids from the real world dealing with real problems through fantastic means. It is basically based on the question of: "What if Godzilla was real and helped you talk to your parents about your problems."

Beatbreak meanwhile very specifically feels like a reply to the shifting political climate. It feels very much like saying: "Okay, kids these days do have to worry about so much more than they had in 1999." Which in some ways is true, in others maybe not.

But it definitely has an interesting conversation on this topic.

[ozoraslegend]

I... do think you made a mistake when saying "talk to your parents about your problems". Adventure and Tamers do check your point (loosely), but to me it doesn't feel like that to the whole franchise. I mean, look at Hunters:)

It is more like "what if Godzilla is real, but:

it is your somehow other half of soul,

you have to take responsibility of them (they sometimes cause mess),

and by some way save the world

while almost 99% of time don't ask for it."

Other things you say is fair points, though:)

[ozoraslegend]

A small Digimon Beatbreak fact that everyone have already known: Kyo, older than others in Glowing Dawn, is the only one without the white in iris.

His iris color is also really washed out, compared to the younger ones.

Now I really want to see a completely coldly angry mommy Kyo:)

About "light" and "darkness" in Digimon

If you are a member of Digimon fandom long enough, you will know a fact: there're lots of fic crossover between 02 and Frontier.

This is not weird or surprising. First, 02 and Frontier are both in the Seki quartet, the first four seasons of Digimon franchise. And going against common negative opinions of a part of fandom about these two seasons, 02 and Frontier do get quite a good love from many fans. They also do have many uncovered, contradicting, or just curious-inspired parts, so fanfics are just being numerous!

And interestingly: 02 and Frontier both get quite same treating from fandom because they are somewhat similar outsidely. The characters are "flat" and " bad stereotype". the plot is "messed up", and the two seasons "don't have deep messages". Of course, these are false ideas, but 02 and Frontier have a specific between-line writing that is difficult to understand and sympathize. I really don't blame the fans to misread!

02 and Frontier has characters both known for particularly tight group dynamics compared to others, and both groups are known to be somewhat "chaotic" (and, affectionately, “very stupid”). With 02, that is from lack of planning or being too airheaded. The Frontier gangs, on the other hand, can and will cause trouble and will be very proud of it. And somehow escape it perfectly, of course.

So? Basically, "Takeru would hate Kouichi because of him being the Warrior of Darkness. 02 group would be wary about Kouichi (and Frontier gangs because of that as well (especially Hikari too)." is a (in)famous trope in crossover between 02 and Frontier. Let's debunk it.

First, this is out of character of Takeru. People tends to forget that Takeru is a polite, respectful and carefree person. If someone tells him "Hey, there's a Warrior of Darkness!", well... He won't react so boldful. He is actually very infamous for keeping his emotions inside, so unless he saw something really pissed him off, I don't think he will act too angrious. Takeru never blew up at anyone without some kind of good reason; it’s just that the level of his intensity was unnerving.

Takeru will pretend he has it together and has everything under control. He won't show any of his negative feeling, instead, he would investigate and find out the truth himself... while dodging questions and his own emotions. He simply handles everything with a “yeah, okay, sure! :)” attitude. Except when really needed, Takeru... rarely do things that are easily to do to solve problem, but passively deal with them when they run to his face. So if he completely snapped at Kouichi for no reason besides him being darkness-associated, that’d be really out of character.

And beside, Takeru is a quite social and generally nice individual, who treat other kindly! I don't really get how others can misread his personality in another way. Let's move to the next point.

Second, Takeru doesn't hate darkness, or have a black-and-white-morality. The thing is that Takeru himself says that he's not going to inherently hate anything darkness-related on sight (in 02 episode 34):

Takeru is pretty clear about what exactly he hates earlier in that episode:

Trying to change the world with that power...Trying to conquer the world...It's unforgivable!

Basically, he hates people who try to toy with darkness to play God, “create sad lives” like BlackWarGreymon with it, and do things that resemble Devimon in Adventure (like “dabbling” in the powers of darkness much like the Kaiser would later).

But in regards to darkness itself, you can find a proof three episodes later that Takeru is pretty understanding of the topic (02 episode 37):

...so he’d probably treat the twins with a lot of respect.

So while Takeru would probably hate Duskmon if he didn’t know more about what was going on behind him, that's obvious, if he actually learns about Kouichi’s situation and background, not only would he be very likely to sympathize with Kouichi and advocate on his behalf, he’d also probably fly into a murderous rage at Cherubimon for exploiting the powers of darkness to make Kouichi suffer! And because that kind of topic really pisses him off, he might even get more pissed off than Kouichi himself is about it.

Actually, these kinds of tropes just throw all character development of Takeru and turn him into a flat character. Takeru also would become a writer, and you can't think that he just skipped all nice characters with darkness-themes.

And mentioned that, Ken and Kouichi are usually being simplified to be just as the same as each other. Although they have many similar features, like "thoughtful, perceptive, very in touch with feelings, VERY assertive, resilient, strong in heart, and kind out of choice even when doesn’t have to be", but they are different individuals. In a language level, Kouichi uses the "ore" assertive pronoun while Ken uses the "boku" more gentle one.

In conclusion! Takeru would be the one to clarify with the Frontier gangs to make sure that Kouichi isn't dabbling in the powers of darkness for the others' sake. And then he'd become the most vicious protector of the twins. And the rest of the Adventurers would just follow his lead since Takeru and Hikari with their sensitivity to the balance of the world.

Takeru's favorite holiday is totally Halloween.

I mean, he's the one that suggests that they tell each other scary stories, so he must love them. I also think he did it in part just to scare Yamato. Takeru just wanted to play with his brother and the others. He totally puts the trick in Trick or Treating. The little shit, I love him.

Takeru also shows no signs of fear when Meiko tells her story, despite the fact that all of the others do. Even the Digimon, expect Agumon, are scared. Meanwhile, Takeru has the cutest little smile on his face. He looks so happy, I love it.

Takeru loves Halloween.

All the scary stories, and he totally has a sweet tooth as well, so he loves the candy. Takeru's favorite holiday is Halloween, and no one can change my mind about this

Why do some Digimon fans overly hate on the American English songs from Digimon?

Like, it's okay not to like them and prefer the Japanese ones over them, but I feel calling them bad songs just because they replaced the Japanese ones is a bit much.

There were a lot of (bad)changes to the Digimon animes when they were dubbed, but I feel the song changes are the least of our worries. Who cares if someone grew up listening to Digimon Are The Champions instead of Butter-Fly if they liked it and have happy memories associated with the song.

This whole thing just seems odd to me, like Digimon was very poorly dubbed, and I don't mind people talking about the sub version and how it's better and the differences between them, but to call the songs slop and act like the world is ending because they exist and people grew up on them. They do know real people put time, energy, and love into the dub songs, right? That these songs are peoples childhoods and they can still be a fan if they grew up listening to them and still like them.

You're not more of a fan if you listened to the Japanese ones growing up, just let people enjoy what they like

[ozoraslegend]

Understandable.

While I do and still will complain about the American dubs and dubs based on it...

Why are the songs the problems, right? They sound good, and Frontier's one is pretty high in my standard! And the OST is great too.

The jokes are the bigger rock in the problem. It helps Tamers (whose Japanese tone just make Digimon go down at Japan) go so well, since the American tone is enough both lighthearted and dark that Tamers is the most memorable in America.

But it makes 02 just... don't work at all. 02 has a bad plot, and good character development arc, between-line dynamic and just so much life lesson that overcome the messy ending. And the jokes in dub ruin it. That doesn't mean American 02 is not enjoyable, yet it's not favorable.

And that means the songs is the least troubled thing here. But I think that some people just want to hate and "show" that they are "good" and "better" fans.

Always good to see someone who actually points out the wrong thing, instead just "dub over sub"/ "sub over dub". Have a nice day!
