I'm going to agree that dragging out having someone evolve is getting dull. At this point they need to make Gekkomon's champion form the most absurdly epic champion of all time to warrant this much waiting. That or go all in. Live up to that dark digivolution tease and have him dark digivolve after Kyo gets killed or something.

This was yet again another perfectly valid opportunity that they said "nah, never mind." And also agree that it's not helping that Wolvermon is just not that great. She barely feels more effective than rookies. And at times not even that.

I feel like Digimon has generally nailed the balance. Have many shows just gone straight to champion? Sure. There's no harm in that. Champion is a good spot to hold things since they are something big and fresh. Then can hit ultimate when things start to hit a wall and champion after that hits a wall. The original nailed that. Hit ultimate at about episode 20 and mega at the late 30s. This cast is small and we're just stalled out at rookie.

Back to this episode, it was good. I liked it. Good drama, nice to see Hitomi make a return, and a fun way of using Tomoro's E-Pulse to turn the tables. Although honestly...I'm siding with the evil organization on this one. Mimicmon is dangerous. Was the human it's partnered with a bit of a nut/jerk? Yeah. But people have bad days and negative thoughts sometimes. He didn't have his Digimon when he had the thoughts that set this course and any attempts he made to stop Mimicmon were smothered. Even if Digimon that are born in this way are formed in relation to the thoughts of their partner...they still have free will. I'm going back to old school Digimon and saying take down the evil ones.

Now of course the downside is that this organization obviously isn't going to just kill it. They wouldn't rush out just for that. If they were they'd kill it on the spot. Taking it in means wanting to use its abilities to their own ends. And those abilities are pretty handy if you are evil (holding people captive in a digital space to drain them and taking control of computer systems). Not a good thing to hand over, but I'd also be iffy on sending it to Kyo's happy farm.

they have put Tomoro and Gekkomon in too many situations that felt like a good time to digivolve and I'm also starting to get a little tired

it's at least probably going to be a really really good scene when they finally decide to do it, but i am getting bored that it's becoming a trend of Tomoro in danger > Reina and Wolvermon show up in the nick of time

and Tomoro's ePulse saving the day either through boosting Gekkomon or not is also getting a little too predictable
