Intro

The video introduces a discussion about Digimon Ghost Game's 50th episode, highlighting its unusual content involving Makomon's Champion form and a scene with a high school boy and Maycrackmon sleeping together. The video also addresses the appearance of Megamon in a previous episode and teases a review of the Halloween special, episode 49, which the creator missed the previous week. The creator also promotes their "Top 10 Darkest and Scariest Digimon Moments" video, cautioning viewers that the current video contains some strong opinions about Ghost Game.

49 Review

Episode 49, titled "The Crimson Harvest Festival," is a Halloween-themed episode where girls in witch costumes are transformed into real witches by a Digimon with ulterior motives. The reviewer is conflicted, noting that while it's cool a full year has passed in the show's timeline, the overall plot feels stagnant. Hiro's dad has been missing for a year, Gula's Gamot is barely acknowledged, and there are no new human additions to the main cast. The episode's plot, involving a misunderstood Digimon, is similar to the previous year's Halloween special with Pumpkinmon. The enemy Digimon, Witchmon, originates from the virtual pet Magical Witches and seeks to create a world without humans. Pumpkinmon reappears, adding a nice element of continuity. The episode concludes with King of Iceman overpowering Witchmon, reverting the transformed humans to normal, and Pumpkinmon delivering a message about making friends without coercion, mirroring the previous year's theme. Witchmon asks Gamamon if he is like the dark conqueror. The reviewer expresses frustration with the episode's lack of originality and its cookie-cutter nature, despite it being set on Halloween.

50 Review

Episode 50, titled "Payback," features Riku, a student at Hazakura Academy, who is having trouble fitting in. A Digimon named Puccimon, calling herself Poochie, takes an interest in him. Riku mistakes her for an advanced hologram, similar to Jellymon. Puccimon does favors for Riku, tracking them as ious, and eventually evolves into Maycrackmon. The scene of them sleeping together is considered odd. Maycrackmon decides to cash in on what she's owed, leading to a chase scene involving Kyo and Hiro. Maycrackmon is transported into the AR field and demands Riku's return. They convince her that this isn't the way to make friends. Maycrackmon decides to sever her bond with Riku to help him connect with humans. The ending is abrupt and underwhelming, with Riku quickly moving on. The reviewer is not impressed with how Maycrackmon was used, considering the character's reputation.

Ghost Game Gripe

The reviewer expresses overall disappointment with episodes 49 and 50, comparing them unfavorably to episodes 49 and 50 of Digimon Adventure 2020, which had a climactic three-parter. Episode 49 is criticized for being unoriginal, and episode 50 for its abrupt ending. The reviewer acknowledges that comparisons can be seen as unfair but argues that comparing Ghost Game to the previous Digimon series is valid. Despite being a fan of Digimon and having praised Ghost Game in the past, the reviewer feels compelled to express their disappointment when episodes are not up to par. The video concludes with hope for improvement in future episodes, possibly with the introduction of new characters from the Dual V Final bracelet.
