I feel like Glowing Dawn is playing with semantics here. Tomoro didn't want that digimon wiped out for what it was or what it was labeled as. He wanted it gone for what it DID! That thing tried to kill him, his brother, his classmate, and likely many others. This isn't punishing something for merely existing.

Plus who are they kidding? What do they think is going to happen to that Digimon when they turn it in? That a mega corporation will treat it with respect and care? At best they'll just delete it. At worst they'll probably experiment on it. Their hands are probably not as clean as they like to think.

Honestly I have no idea now when Gekkomon will digivolve. This was a prime opportunity. If this wasn't a good chance I'm not sure when one will arrive. Pretty poor showing by Fangmon really. Got wrecked by a rookie. But can work off the idea that Tomoro's e-pulse is special.

I think that visual after the fight of Tomoro on one side and Glowing Dawn on the other was fitting. He's "with them" but he's not "one of them."

THIS. That scene annoyed me immensely, how they gaslit Tomoro into thinking he’s unreasonable for wanting to delete Fangmon. It’s exactly as you said, Tomoro doesn’t just want to delete any and all digimon, like glowing dawn made it out to be, just the ones who are seriously dangerous to society and who deserve it based on their deeds. That scene was really the icing on the cake after glowing dawn continually failing to explain stuff to Tomoro throughout the ep.

I think there's more to it than that. Sure, on the surface it seems like Kyo's reasoning isn't related to Tomoro's, but I think it's more about how Tomoro at that point didn't seem to properly view Digimon in general as living beings with thoughts and feelings. He still called Gekkomon 'lizard' after all. And do you think he would feel as comfortable killing a human who did similarly horrible things as Hyemon? I don't think he would. And I think that's what Kyo truly meant.

I like Golden Dawn's approach of rehabilitation instead of just punitive justice for rogue digimon. Just because they act maliciously/instinctively going after E-pulse doesn't mean it's the only way they act or can act. Plus, when they are in training, they don't necessarily need to become the same digimon. The world isn't black and white, and the Fangmon might be able to help them track down the other Heymon.

Well the other 2 kids are just idealistically playing along with the rules that Kyo set for Glowing Dawn, and don't probably think about much of anything besides just following his lead, whatever he decides is the right choice they will agree with

While Kyo himself is probably working with the corrupt ministry behind closed doors and will be revealed as an antagonist later, which will explain why he made the rule of not deleting Digimon regardless of how dangerous they may be and how many victims they claimed, because they are resources for the ministry to gather

Maybe Gekkomon... Won't digivolve.actually what if Gekkomon dies or turns on tomoro and ends up actually being the villain
