The Legacy of Shadow Moon: The most evil villain Post RX?

Hello Everyone Digital-Ranger here doing a Blog Post that Really should have been done a long time coming, BUT! Other things just got in the way of me doing this Blog Post. Regardless it’s time for me to finally tackle this topic. The Topic at hand is back is everything Post Kamen Rider Black RX Shadow Moon has just been the evilest most Villain of all of Kamen Rider when he really isn’t. Despite Toei making you think that he the most evilest of evil in actuality he isn't at all.

This blog post will be like me listing off his Legacy and all of the media he’s been, with me giving some of my input on some things. I know for a fact that I will be missing some things on this review of Shadow Moons Legacy, like his appearance in the Kamen Rider Black Manga Since I could not find a translated version of the manga. BUT before I talk about Shadow Moon I would like to talk about his Design first. Because his design as was brilliantly executed than on first seeing it.

Shadow Moon design is based off a White Grasshopper while Black is based on a WELL... Black Grasshopper. His design efficiencies more on mechanical design over Black’s Organic design. He and Black’s Belt colors are inverted, Shadow Moon’s King stone color is Green where Black’s is Red (which are complementary colors on the color wheel). Looking at both Shadow Moon’s and Kamen Rider Black’s Design besides one another gives a very Yin and Yang Feeling. the Most obvious sign of this that is there Century King names are Black Sun and Shadow Moon, the Sun, and the Moon.

Shadow Moon’s Signature weapon is the Satan Saber, and later on, in RX, he gets 2 more swords from the Crisis Empire called the Twin Shadow Sabers. Shadow Moon is also NOT labeled as a Kamen Rider but has an attack called Shadow Kick which is what A Kamen Rider would use for an attack. One can see Shadow Moon as a prelude to what would be classified as Evil Riders or Dark Riders. Something like this was never seen before in the Showa Era (the closest thing you could get to was the Shocker Riders from the original series). He also can produce green electricity from his hands.

Kamen Rider Black: October 4, 1987- October 9, 1988

Shadow Moon first debut was in Kamen Rider Black, the main user of the Shadow Moon Powers is Nobuhiko Akizuki the adopted Step Brother of Minami Kohtaro/ Kamen Rider Black. The 2 brothers were abducted on their 19 birthday, while Kohtaro escaped becoming Kamen Rider Black with his King stone. His Brother Nobuhiko was not so fortunate, Still being capped by Gorgom he was turned into Gorgom's next Century King in episode 35 of Black “Showdown! The Two Princes”.

At the tail end of the series, both Black and Shadow Moon duel with one another with Nobuhiko renounce being Shadow Moon. Excepted his King Stone took complete control over him, making him Shadow Moon and Killing Black. When Kohtaro came back alive the 2 fight again but this time Shadow Moon is the one to die. Shadow Moon laugh at Kohtaro because he will have will live with guilt for killing his own brother. His last words were” Black Sun. Minami Kohtaro", thus dying. Shadow Moon was the first of his kind being a Dark Rider archetype and it was dynamic/ tragic between both brothers. Kohtaro thought he could save his brother but ultimately, in the end, he wasn’t able to and killing his Brother. And living every day knowing that and having that guilt is just down right a horrific feeling.

Kamen Rider Black: Taiketsu Shadow Moon: April 15th, 1988

Kamen Rider Black: Taiketsu Shadow Moon (or Kamen Rider Black: Showdown with Shadowmoon) released on the Famicom and is a side scroller beat em up where you fight Gorgom monsters as Kamen Rider Black. The final boss of the game is Shadow Moon but it really doesn't look like him. That's because this game is unique for this was the first time Kamen Rider Black fought Shadow Moon. This game came out 2 months before Shadow Moon appeared in the show at Episode 35 (June 12th in 1988) so that’s why when you fight him in his (From what the Kamen Rider Wiki says this form is called) Bata Man Form. and ten he turns into a purple recolor of Black.

Kamen Rider Black: Terrifying! The Phantom House of Devil Pass: July 9, 1988

The 2nd Kamen Rider Black movie Kamen Rider Black: Terrifying! The Phantom House of Devil Pass Release between episodes 38 and 39 (as part of the Toei Manga Matsuri film festival). The city of Yūbari Hokkaidō has become a ghost town following Shadow Moon and his Gorgom minions. A scientist named Makino is working on Gorgom's top-secret robot experiment. He escapes from the evil organization and returns to Tokyo, only to find out that his wife and daughter have been taken. Makino soon meets up with Kotaro and Makino travels to Yūbari to save Makino's family from Shadow Moon. There are no subs for this movie but from what I can tell this movie reuses monsters suits that Black already from previous episodes.

Kamen Rider Black RX: October 23, 1988- September 24, 1989

The continuation of the last series Kamen Rider Black, Kamen Rider Black RX  has the return of Shadow Moon. This time, however, he joins up with the Crisis Empire. In Episode 27 “Great Counterattack! The Prince of Shadows” The 2 have a rematch but Shadow Moon loses to RX. Shadow Moon admits defeat and then goes off to save 2 children from a fire. In the process, he dies afterward saving them. When Kohtaro sees what his brother has done he feels like his brother humanity has been fully restored to him. SO in his final acts, Shadow Moon’s Humanity has thusly been returned to him. Also on a side note one monster of the week Deathgaron looks a lot like Shadow Moon but with more armor added to him.

For as bad and as evil, as Shadow moon was, in the end, His humanity and what was left of Nobuhiko that still lived within Shadow Moon he was still good and was still redeemed in the end. And they don’t even wait to already start screwing up his charter with his next incarnation.

Kamen Rider SD: January 23, 1993

In the Kamen Rider SD OVA Shadow Moon returns as a part of GranShocker and... calls himself a Kamen Rider YEAH! It gets worse from there. He also tries his best to be as evil as possible but keeps failing, all the while RX in the OVA keeps teasing him and even insulting him by calling him, Sunshine Moon. We're already starting off on a bad note with disgrace this charters legacy.

Kamen Rider World: August 6, 1994

Kamen Rider Rider World is a 8 minute “3D” Movie that was shown in Amusement Parks which was also shown alongside with  Super Sentai World and Toei Hero Daishugō. It had the 2 movie Riders Kamen Rider ZO & Kamen Rider J fight against monsters from their respective movies (and even had the monster from Kamen Rider Shin). The final confrontation of the movie is J Vs. a giant Shadow Moon that was defeated By J. However this movie is not cannon to any timeline and exits only its own timeline. Fun Fact this movie even makes a reference to 1989’s  Kamen Rider Black RX - Stay In The World movie by using clips from that movie. BUT YEAH just using the Shadow Moon Suite for the sake of using a suite with his iconic status as a charter is... just bad. And will currently not be the last time Toei will do that exact same thing.

Saban's Masked Rider:  September 16, 1995- November 20, 1996  

I already went into detail and my thoughts what happened in Saban’s Masked Rider in my review (and if you haven't check it out yet here ya go) but to recap. Shadow Moon in this interpretation is Dex’s Best Friend who was brainwashed by Count Dregon. But Dex rescued his best friend that gives him a new power up. And this is one of the better interpretations as you will see later on in this blog post.

After 0/ S.I.C.: December 2002- March 2003

Kamen Rider Black RX After 0 was a part of the Super Imaginative Chogokin (or S.I.C. Hero Saga line of toys) story based off of Kamen Rider Black RX. It ran in Monthly Hobby Japan and tells the story what happens in the afterMath of Black RX.

1-night, Kohtaro Minami is walking out when all of a sudden he sees someone floating around and it’s a White RX (or also called Another RX). White RX fights RX with White RX pulling out RX’s King Stone out and White RX becomes The Creation King Another Shadow Moon. Kohtaro yells at Another Shadow Moon to stop. But all Another Shadow Moon does is just sneers at him, removing his chest armor and revealing that inside is Nobuhiko skeleton and… a beating heart. Said bearing Heart is actually the original Century King. In the final fight between both Black and Shadow Moon The Century King attached itself to Shadow Moon before it died. The Century King Another Shadow Moon is just about to kill Kohtaro when Kohtaro wakes up and it was all just a dream. YEAH, they are just using Shadow moon's corps and his appearance alone. It's not Nobuhiko doing any of this but rather someone else just using his likeness.

Weirdly enough though that Red Shadow Moon would be made into actual Suit for the Kamen Rider Ghost Stage Show (which will not be on here because there is no translation of it).

Kamen Rider: Seigi No Keifu: November 27th, 2003

The PS2 game Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu is a 3rd Person Action Adventure game which involves various Showa Riders Fighting against a time-traveling monster called evil eye which is a giant eye monster led by Shocker. Shadow Moon appear in the game to save Kamen Rider Black from Evil Eye. BUT in actually he really wanted to get Black's Kingstone the whole time. Black ask why? But all Shadow Moon says is that it's because only he will defeat him and claim the title of Century King. However, Shadow Moon is immediately captured by the Evil Eye and taken away. And his Kingstone is taken by the monsters instead.

Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker: August 8, 2009

the film Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker had Shadow Moon in it. But this time it’s NOT Nobuhiko Akizuki but instead Nobuhiko Tsukikage. He is no relationship to Kohtaro or is an AU version of Nobuhiko Akizuki but instead a different user of the Shadow moon suite/ powers. Nobuhiko Akizuki was the Butler to Tsukasa’s Sister that convinced her to become High Priestess Bishium to take over Great Shocker. When Tsukasa was ousted as the leader, Nobuhiko took over the organization, calling himself the Creation King. and was then killed NOT by Decade or Kuuga Rising Ultimate (which can destroy a planet now X2) But By Kamen Rider W to promote well... Kamen Rider W’s Show. Which yeah that is pretty terrible because he went down easily.

Let's Go Kamen Rider: April 1, 2011

Due to the changes in history by the charters in Let’s Go Kamen Rider Shocker rule the world. Shadow Moon and numerous other villains are alive and are a part of the Shocker alliance. In the film, Shadow Moon is just an in suite only appearance. However, this opens up so many cans of worms of how none of this alliance stuff should happen which will be covered in its own review 1 day.

Super Hero Taisen: April 21, 2012

The movie Super Hero Taisen has Shadow Moon reappearance started to get people like me frustrated with him keep coming back, (so yeah Blame the Taisen Franchise as we should always do). He and numerous other villains have returned from the dead and are a part of Shocker led by Kamen Rider Decade's to destroy the Sentai... and Riders to rule the world alongside the Zangyack Empire. For most of his appearance in the movie, he was just a suit until the final battle with all the Riders and the Sentai's fighting. He was defeated by both Kamen Rider Black and the Hikari Sentai Maskman. Once again mostly a minute appearance only, but was Kohtaro really that trigger happy to just Rider Kick his own Brother? Since you know he did just all out his name.

Super Hero Taisen Z: April 27, 2013

In Super Hero Taisen Z he is the one leading Space Shocker and is rule the galaxy and yeah he is pretty much just seems like an evil grunt and evil grunt only. And for whatever reason, he just starts like a villain for an uncomfortable amount of time. and was defeated by the Kyrouger's with their guns.

Kamen Rider: Battride war Genesis: February 25, 2016

I’m just saying it, Battride war Genesis is by far these absolute WORST interpretation of Shadow Moon! Why is that? Well you see, Kamen Rider: Battride war Genesis (a Hack-and-Slash style game) has Kamen Riders from Showa, Heisei, and Neo-Heisei disappearing from time itself and the one doing this… is SHADOW MOON (it get worse)! Wen you fight as the Final Boss in the game he grows but also becomes his red Another Shoadw Moon Form and able to clone himself and forming SIGH… THE SHADOW MOON ARMY YES The Show Moon Army. This… I am absolutely infuriating. I am speechless you guys, I just truly am, just speechless.

While I did not talk about the Red Shadow Moon from before I can talk about it now, it’s awful! That shiny red color is just awful, I can't tell you exactly why it just looks as bad as it does but something about it just looks bad. And the Shadow Moon army, terrible, terrible, terrible idea. You are fighting waves and waves of Shadow Moon but it does not affect you at all since they are just clones. And to be honest that is more disgraceful than anything else really.
The whole Reason why Black and Shadow Moon fight was the pinnacle point in the whole was it was Kohtaro's Brother. you felt sorry for Kohtaro having to fight aginst his brother and actually seeing Kohtaro kill his own Brother was heartbreaking.

BUT HERE any Rider Will do really and you don't have a connection to him at all what so ever! Shadow Moon in the game is takes everything bad that is related with all of the bad interpolation with Shadow Moon. He wants to become the next Century King, he is evil for the sake of evil, they are using this charter image to have as a final boss, and this more insulting thing you could do is that he is redeemable at all and is no different from a monster of the week, which is why I do strongly believe that this is the worst incarnation of this charter to date. As far as I know there is no translation of this game. this actively offends me as a fan of Kamen

So the Legacy of Shadow Moon is more tarnished than anything else. The Charter while evil was also redeemed in the end for his sins he did commit. But the Problem with whoever is writing Shadow Moon is he's not completely evil, he still had his humanity with him. But for whatever reason Toei keep on insisting that he is evil with no relation to him at all. The best way to describe how Toei has treated Shadow Moon is basically How his S.I.C. Saga interpretation was, they just use the corps of Shadow Moon so it looks like Shadow Moon is evil. Replace the Century King with Toei and it's exactly the exact same thing.

Back to Saban's Masked Reider for a second. If there is 1 more positive that I can give it is that in 1 scene in the (TRUE) Final Episode of the show. It has the Shadow Moon Suite besides Dex and the other Masked Rider Worries. Which symbolically show that Shadow Moon is finally helping out his Brother Kohtaro. While yes this isn't much of being in an adoption and not in the actually show this is the closest thing he really can get to helping his brother to help save the day.

NAH I'M JUST BULL CRAPING WITH YOU GUYS! the Shadow Moon Suit was one of the few Suites that they could use in Masked Rider that's all.

All my sources came from the Kamen Rider Wiki, I hope You all enjoyed this I spent a lot of time on this and also had a ton of fun working on this project I had, maybe I will do this again with another famous Tokusatsu charter.

Digimon Tri: Loss Review

YUP we are now already HALY WAY THERE done with Tri movies and SO much stuff was in this movie so let just start this review (I could not come up with a proper intro this movie).

Part 1

Tri Loss begins with begins with something different. It begins with the original Digi-Destined, yes the very first original 5 Digi-Destined are here. Which also confirms that both Maki and Daigo really were MAYBE the original Digi-Destined which is not concrete evidence of that now. ALSO even Daigo had GOGGLES! Wich really does make Masaru the only one not to have goggles. The original Digi-Destined are fighting aginst THE DARK MASTERS!? it's been forever since I last watched Digimon Adventure so I thought that the Dark Masters were created when the Digi-Destined left the Digital World, AGAIN I could be wrong. The Dark Masters are about to finish off that is until Maki is possessed by the light, the same light that possessed Kari from Adventure.

I should now talk about the original Digi-Destined Digimon partners now. From what we see they are Megdramon with Maki, Loaderleomon for Daigo and the other 3 are Hippogriffomon, Orochimon and finally Triceramon. Miraculous instead of them about to die they are turned into the Digimon Sovereigns. Although The Digimon solvers have no prior form (except for Orichimon becoming Ebonwumon, that is fact from DigimonWiki). Megadramon is the only one who does not become a Sovereign but instead becomes a ball of energy that defeats the Dark Masters.

Back to present day, the Adventure Digi-Destined's reunite with their Digimon. it goes surprisingly well as they all get along with one another quite well, well that is except for Sora Yokomon. The reason why is that Sora steps on Yokomon's hair which she gets mad at her. This is Sora's arc in the movie Sora trying to be best friends with Yokomon again well that and also 1 more thin.

Sora needs to take better care of herself and yeah it was more so said in the previous movie and she just needs to express how she feels. Which is true for her charter since Adventure thinking about other people before herself. Now Yokomon/ Biyomon seem harsh to Sora in the movie BUT it's understandable, I mean first impressions are an important thing. And if someone steps on my head for of course my first impressions are WHY you bastard? It's made only worse when everyone is getting all buddy, buddy with one another while Sora and Yokomon are at a strange relationship.

In some bushes, Meicoomon sees all of the Digimon with their partners and she feels sad and wishes that Meiko was with her still. The others see Meikoomon but she escapes. Tai decides that although she caused a reboot the others are determined to after her for Meiko's sake, and Part 1 ends with everyone going back into their Rookie form.

Before I begin part 2 I should say this, when everyone is eating I swear in this scene Izzy was saying how awesome Oolong tea is. It felt like I was watching a commercial for Oolong Tea and just how amazing it is to drink that stuff.

Part 2

Agumon on a log, nothing of importance at all. But just looked funny to me.

Meicoomon is still upset that Meiko is there with here and goes in a berserk-like state which somehow summons a Machinedramon (more on that in a moment)? He attacks, Tai and the others just assume that there Digivices would make their Digimon Ddigivolve, but nothing happens. Machinedramon shoots at the Digi-Destined's but instead of dying for some reason, they are all transported away from one another (for some reason). And this is where the title of this movie comes from, Loss as in like the TV show Lost! Although I never saw a single episode of lost, mostly due to never being a fan of JJ Abrams and his whole Mystory Box gimmick he has. and when everyone is separated Maki arrives in the Digital World for some reason.

Digo is wondering where Maki is to ask where-where Meko strumbled upon that Maki has been working on trying to reboot the digital world. The reason why Maki is doing this is because she wants her partner Tapirmon back. Maki has been feeling this way for partly forever because when both Daigo and Maki were adults in college she was looking for a way to bring back Tapirmon. Daigo tells her to just stop and move on with like, he can't bare to see her like this. He feels sorry for her and he asks why can't h be her new partner? Increasable sappy line yes and even maki makes fun of this line, but I like it and they also date.

Hackmon appears to tell Daigo that balance between the Human World and the Digital-Word are now in danger. Gennai is now corrupted and he is the one now in charge of maintaining the balance between everything. Maki was the one who insisted the reboot and as such because of that Ygdrasil will do whatever is necessary to stop here.  Why yes I did write Yggdrasil as Ygdrasil because for WHATEVER REASON THE SUBS I WAS WATCHING did not add in an extra G for Ygdrasil. ALSO, I swear if the final boss in the Tri movies is Yggdrasil I am going to flip over my computer desk.

Part 3

Meikoomon sees Sora and Miko and tells them to get away for she is an unstable killing machine. This is made worse then Digimon Emperor arrives comes and reveals himself and he is actually a The Corrupted Genni. Genni then gets to Sora and... LICKS HER FACE, THIS SCENE. THIS SCENE RIGHT HERE. That scene just put a sour taste in my mouth when I first saw it I could not handle it. Biyomon saves sora and even sora is surprised by this, and so everyone else meets up with one another as well. This is because when Meikoomon ran away she created a distortion ironically where everyone was and so everyone meets up with one another soon after.

Everyone escapes to a ship where they need time to recover but the Corrupted Genni arrives to attack them all and matters are made worse yet when Metalseadramon also comes to attack everyone. In this moment of them all regrouping and going to the 2 of the Dark Masters, is finally Biyomon finally is kind to Sora after being saved by her,. so the 2 are now partners.

Part 4

At this part of Tri Maki finally sees Tapermon once again after not seeing him in forever. But Tapermon does not recognize who she is and something SNAPS in Maki. She's has been working on this project for God only knows how long and it was all for nothing. And now because of what she has done she has doomed herself and the Human World now
Biyomon want's to protect Sora and Warp Digivolves into Hohomon. Where we get a NO JOKE, 6-minute long sequence of just seeing Digivloutions including 

Tai and Matt are aginst Metalseadramon but now fall into the water. Both Agumon and Gabumon go to get their friends and with both of them having a strong relationship they Warp Digivole defeating Metalseadramon. Although Metalseadramon death here is nowhere near as awesome as his death in Adventure.

With the others, Machinedramon gets Sora and NOPE, Sora is DEAD GUYS! Or at lease crippled from the waist down worse. Because Machinedramon putting so much pressure on Sora's body should have killed her but NO it leaves her fine as is.

 6-minute long SEQUENCE OF DIGIVLOUTIONS with Hohomon, Herculsesekabuterimon, and also FREAKIN SERAPHIMON! YEAH, I KNOW I CAN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER GUYS! And the reason why is pissed me off is that it is not a simple Warp Digivloution sequence but showing each initial Digimon in that sequence, I MEAN WHAT HAPPENED TO JUST WARP DIGIVOLVING? I SWEAR if they don't do that in the final episode I will get pissed! Also, there was this 1 guy who told me that Hohomon only had 2 wings, BUT NO Hohomon does have all 4 wings. Just that the animators were lazy animating the other 2 wings (BIG DIFFERENCE). 

So The movie ends with Corrupted Genni creepy (AGAIN) and killing Meiko. Except but not really because NEXT MOVIE! And Meikoomon Digivolving into Meicrackmon and presumably going to the human world to destroy it.

Over Digimon Tri: Loss is a 3/5

 Digimon Tri gets better with each passing movie, on the grounds that the 2nd one was OK but added nothing, and the 3rd one fumbled in its execution. let me get with the bad first. That scene with Genni licking Sora again just felt so wrong. How Did Meiko get to the Digital-World? sometimes the art in this movie was off at times, like with Tokomon eating a sandwich and it disappears, or how 2 dark masters switch spots in the begging (see the opening to know what I mean). Or we are still not getting answers on things.

BUT ALSO This movie felt just right, what I mean by is that every single episode in this movie had something going for it. and not 1 single moment of filler.

Part 1 had the revelation of the original 5 Digidesign's. Part 2 have the revival Mechinedramon Separating everyone. Part 3 have the team separated and trying to get back with one another, and the truth of Ken is a corrupted Genni. And finally, Part 4 had Hohomon defeating Mechinedramon and Meicrackmon going to destroy the human world.

This is better compare to all the other Tri movies where there is at lease 1 fitter episode in the movie, or the movie is just stretched out with some things going on in them or nothings going on in them. everyone acted how they should with Tai commanding, Joe wanting things to go smoothly, and Sora having feelings and also here finally having a say for herself. 

Seeing we now have a face for a villain in Tri is refreshing because up to this point all we had were nameless Digimon attacking the Digi-Destined's got pretty boring at this point. seeing the original Digi-Destined's was awesome to see (which now debunks that the Frontiere kids were the original Digi-Destined's (which only I have brought up from the looks of it). and I really can't wait to see how Maki will be from here on out, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING TO SEE ALRIGHT!

Now The REBOOT... I will get back to you on that one, I know it seems like a copout but I need to see the rest of these movies before I can properly judge that, to be honest. Also the 02 kids, yeah nothing of them again, all we see is the D3 and that's it really. Which I have come to expect from Tri at this point (which is now sad for you 02 fans out there). Although with the Reboot happening I am pretty sure they are all dead now? But, not like it matters or anything like that SINCE Jesmon is in the movie. So I assume he could just bring them back to life so the 02 kids can have their own Tri movies. Becuase Jesmon can do anything.

Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger to get new episodes made by Korea?

Sources: Tokunation

This is a... SHOCKER for sure. In Korea, the run of Kyrouger or Power Rangers Dino Force has finished airing BUT it is getting a 2nd season, YES a second season made by Korea because it was so successful in Korea. which is when there were new suits of the Kroger's from way back when this is what those suits were made for, a power up version of them, and even a brand new Kyou in, with a Gatling Gun Head. 

So this at the very lease will be inserting (and I already have more faith in that this will do good than whatever the Neo Saban show is doing already). which leads into my next point, this guy on twitter (@willyjcoe) said the following "If fucking Korea can commission more sentai footage, then I never wanna hear that America is limited by sentai footage ever again...". Which Yeah he's right, Saban in the past and to this day STILL have been cheap and if KOREA is willing to do something like this you would think that Saban would do this, especially next year being POWER RANGERS BEING 25 YEARS OLD! Well regardless if this show is good or bad at the very lease this looks like something interesting.

NOW when this came out it screwed up my review schedule because I was all ready to review both Zyuranger and Kyrouger's back to back but now this happened and I think I could do something fun regarding how there are 3 versions of Kyrouger. so YEAH my review schedule is all screw up now.

Digimon Tri Movie 5 Poster

Sources: With The Will

Today was the release of the 4th Digimon Tri Movie and as expected there is a poster at the end teasing the next Tri Movie, Digimon Tri: Part 5- Symbiosis, or Paragenesis, or even Union, because of Japanese Text and translations are never accurate. On the Poster it has a picture of both Kari with NOT Magnadramon But instead is Ophanimon in her Falldown Mode. With Kari is Meiko and also Mmeicoomon's presume Mega Digivolution which is a giant Hulking Cat Monster with Wolverine claws. the only thing about this is that this will be release in 2017 also but other than that nothing else on date and day has been announced.

Digimon Tri: Confessions review

WELL this one took a long time to make but, yes I finally got it just before Tri-Part 4 came out, So let's begin shale we. Digimon Tri Confessions is the longest part out of all of the Tri movies being 5 parts longs and may I say it's also the saddest part of Tri as of now. What do I mean by that you'll see the short intro, YES but I just want to start this review.

Part 1

Pat 1 begins with when a plane crash lands, both Daigo and Maki talking to one another about Meicoomon, Daigo is saying since Meicoomon was infected why not tell everyone else sooner about her? Maki just ignores him and leaves for another meeting (we will get back to Maki soon enough). At the school where the Digi-Destined are at, I was thoroughly surprised that we had some conclusion to Mimi's little arc from the previous movie. Her classmates telling her she did a fine job and wished they also did the same thing as Mimi. But where Mimi is feeling better about herself Meiko feels horrendous after Meicoomon killed Leomon.

After that, both TK and Kari actually going to Ken's house and asking what is up with him. Which actually Surprise me. Seeing that it is just NOW that some of the adventure cast are asking about the Zero 2 cast. Truly a Surprise since it has now taken a total of 3 PARTS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AT ALL IN THE SLIGHTEST!

This is also where we get some information regarding Miko Dad. Miko's Dad works at the same foundation where both Daigo and Maki work at. This is also where Miko found Meicoomon as a child and her father said that Meicoomon was a special Digimon. But they are now working on something called Project R (as in Reboot), so ends part 1. I know for a movie being 5 parts long, nothing that significant is here (in fact I took things later on in the movie and put it in this paragraph.) but after this part, this is when things start to become serious.

Part 2

It begins with Izzy sleeping and feels a bit responsible because of him working all night long to try and make sure no one is infected. But what happens next... is... when TK goes to see Patamon in Izzy office again he sees that Patamon... is infected! When TK sees this it only gets worse when Patamon bites TK arm (YIKES TK be grateful it isn't Tokomon). Tk asks Joe what if the Digimon are infected? With Joe replied with them having to fight them. TK Takes Patamon home with him thinking everything will be alright.

But no. Patamon knows that he himself is infected and Patamon says finish him off if he does attack his friends. WHICH yeah this is pretty depressing. A charter who was basically a guardian Angels that saved his Tamer and all his friends from harm will now be killed because of a virus. Until you realize that "WHY CAN'T TK TELL IZZY PATAMON IS INFECTED"? I get it he doesn't want anyone else to kill Patamon but he could at least tell Izzy and the 2 could have had worked on something tougher to fix this. All of the Digimon get out if the building because Patamon got out and they all want out as well and they do so... without getting spotted... or taken back inside the office. Kari then gets a phone call but then transformers he into Light Kari from Adventure. Which is a good segway for?

Part 3

Light Kari explaining to the Digimon that because of this infection The digital world and the human world are in grave danger. If the digital world is infected and die from the infected Digimon then humans lose their electronics and same for the other Digimon not infected. To avoid this it is time for Project Reboot. When Kari is about to fall down Maki saves Kari from falling and also says that the Reboot is last ditch effort. The Digimon all realize this and they then they spend 1 their partner and even telling their partner that they are infected. And all the while Izzy can not do a thing to try and stop this infection.

part 4 

No time is wasted with Meicoomon attacking Tokyo, so Greymon, Ikkakumon, Birdramon, and Togemon fight Meicoomon but Meicoomon suddenly Digivolves into Meicrackmon that just shakes off everyone like they are nothing. So the new plan now is that they will try and get Meicrackmon into this portal from where she came from. Angewoman and get Meicrackmon into the portal where she came in Patamon wants to go and fight even though TK does not want him to but Patamon goes off and fight Meicrackmon.

Meiko also arrives to help but does nothing to help at all. This is where they find out that Miku and Meicoomon came to Tokyo Meicoomon was the one carrying and spread the virus around to everyone. Immediately it starts to take its toll on all the other Digimon by infecting them all. The only one not infected by this is Greymon and the just arrived Kabuterymon. When Izzy was preparing for the reboot Izzy also planned to make up this backup for all of the Digimon to have some of their data saved but proves to be futile with even Greymon getting infected. The only hope left now is 

Tentomon going HerculeseKabuterymon getting Meicrackmon and just as the clock is about to reach 0 he says to all of them open your eyes and they do and they group huddle and this is where they all go into the portal tougher when the clock hits 0. Not even making it to the safe zone at all. Thus making the reboot occurs and concluding Part 4. (Ironically this movie occurs roughly when Appmon was just about to air, so the Reboot Idea is like a meta meaning in that way).

WOW I mean WOW they actually went through with this I mean the only reason I think it affects me so much is probably because I watched and grew up with Adventure as a kid and see this as an adult is just so depressing. Especially more so since the Digi-Destined themselves also grew up just like me this makes it even more depressing. This was like seeing my childhood heroes die right in front of me. But I do have a question for you guys if you are either a Digimon fan but did not grow up with adventure or then please let me know if you felt sad during this movie? I would generally like to know do you feel sad watching this at all or nothing in the slightest? If you want to have an even sadder experience than listening to the end theme of this movie "Don't say Good Bye". So much water works from my eye

Part 5

1 week since the Digimon have left and everyone is still sad from the event and everyone is starting to the movie on. Izzy is still the only one still constructing on trying to get to the digital world soon everyone regroups where they all agree to go to the digital world again, which might be permit. They ask Mekio to go with them but her guilt from infecting everyone Digimon is still too great, and as such, she can not go with them to the Digital World.

As the Digi-Descends are about to go through the new Digital World Maki comes to show that she has Ken's D3. YEAH for some reason she has Ken's D3 and a D-terminal (I say a D-terminal because I am pretty sure he did not have one in the shown itself). Although the glaring problem is NO ONE ASK WHERE KEN'S DIGIVICE CAME FROM OR HOW SHE GOT IT!

When the 8 go through the through the new Rebooted Digital World they are in the fight between both Alphamon and believe or not also Jesmon! after escaping the battle between the 2 everyone sees their Digimon partner. But the DiIgimon themselves not knowing who they are at all.

The final show in the movie is both Ken and Maki tougher but it's not really Ken it's Genni! Now, this was a legit Twist that no one and I does mean NO ONE SAW COMMING unless your AO that is who surprisedly was right in his theory video!

Overall Tri Condessions get's a 3/5 it was a satisficing watch... BUT MAN it fumbled a number of times in its execution.

Now the name of this movie tagline is Confessions which I believe is Meiko saying that Meicoomon infected everyone. BUT it's only brought up only near the end of the movie. not to mention it feels only lampshaded for a while instead of being a foreground thing.another thing that got to me was TK. TK not telling anyone that Patamon has the virus to anyone is a problem, he could have had Izzy made one but it would have had been too late and not in time to do so and as such like that really bogged it down for me there.

Finally, another personal problem I had was Agumon just wanted more snacks in this whole movie which got annoying real quick. For being the longest of the Tri movie this sure did not feel like it accomplished a lot in this movie series itself.

But with all that said This was still a good movie to watch. Again they actually committed with this dire situation where the Digimon would either be corrupted monsters or Digimon not know who their partner even because of the Reboot. It felt like a bit of my childhood was getting torn apart from the inside. I mean clearly, they will be going like Mega again with Tri Loss having Hohomon on it. But what I can say that it was effected to approach with what it did.
