Here's my next review; my Top 11 most confusing or stupidest moments of Digimon Enjoy.
Top 11 most confusing moments of Digimon
DJ was in his chair, cleaning up his watch as he says "Oh, hey guys. I'm the Demon Critic, I do the reviews so you know what to look out for." He then says "So I bet you all remember my Top 11 confusing things about Pokemon, right?"
(Shows images of different Pokemon, like Pikachu, Snivy or Chimchar)
"Yeah, Pokemon is a pretty popular series of cartoons and games with their well-known creatures and characters." Said DJ. "BUT there is a series that can rival it."
(Stewie Griffon: Say WHAT!)
"Yeah, no joke. Can you guess what it is?" asked DJ.
(Bakugan?)
"No." said DJ.
(Monsuno?)
"Nuh-uh. Never gonna happen" Said DJ.
(Yu-Gi-Oh?)
"Close, but no." said DJ. "IF this is getting annoying, it's Digimon."
(The theme song of the original series plays scenes of all the seasons play)
"Yes, I'm a big fan of Digimon." Said DJ. "Heck, I've made my own fan series called Digimon All-Stars. If you want to see it, look it up on my Deviant-Art page and you'll find it." Said DJ.
"Now I bet your asking yourself 'DJ, why are you talking about Digimon? What does this have to do with that old Top 11 list?' Well my curious readers, I'm going to do the same thing for the Digimon Anime." Said DJ.
(Dramatic Gasp)
"That's right, it's the Top 11 Most Confusing things about Digimon." Said DJ.
(Shows the different teams in action as the title of the episode appears.)
Number 11: All the Conveniency (All Season)
"For those that wonder what I mean, this is what I mean." Said DJ. "Think about this; the group are wandering for awhile and need a place to stay. And guess what HAPPENS to be near by."
(Shows a town, then a few phone booths and a large cruise ship)
"Yep, that's right." Said DJ with a nod. "There just so happens to be a place to rest on the road. I know this place is like Wonderland if it made some lick of sense, but it's to hard to notice."
"Another thing with the convenient thing is with the bad guys." Said DJ. "I mean…they look for them all the time and the kids somehow end up in their juristiction." Said DJ. "It almost seems like there's a pattern."
(The Pattern: Kids need place to stay-there is a town with some food and a place to sleep-a bad guy is still looking for them-a henchman happens to live or is in control of the town-kids find out about this-they fight-bad guy loses-good guys move on with adventure)
"But this is at the bottom of the list because, well…it's not a big deal." Said DJ. "But don't worry, I'll explain why some things are a problem to me."
Number 10: Digimon with no levels (Digimon Xros Wars)
"Yeah, this is newer but it has to be said." Said DJ. "Okay, here's how it works."
(Shows a picture of a evolutionary chain of Agumon: Botamon-Koromon-Agumon-Greymon-MetalGreymon-and WarGreymon)
"The Digimon have always had a straight line to how they work. There's a Baby level, those little goo-balls that come out of…Easter Ostrich eggs…then there's In-Training, when they normally look like giant heads that are…guys, can you help?"
(Koromon: we're Kind of cute.
Tsunomon: And very loyal.
Yokomon: With beautiful hair.
Moltimon: Or maybe no hair at all.
Bukamon: we can be funny. Ha.
Tokomon: And adorable)
"Yeah, that. Then there's the Rookie Stage, which is basically a default stage you keep your Digimon in. In this form, they can actually do some battle damage instead of just…well…"
(shows the In-Training Digimon shooting out Pink bubbles)
"Yeah…" said DJ sheepishly. "Anyway, the next level is the Champion Level, which is basically a stronger version of the Champion. Through special means, the Champion Digimon can become a Ultimate Level, and then a Mega level."
"I'll get to the other Digivolution later, but this is talking about the ones WITHOUT Level clarifications." Said DJ. "Lets look at some of the new Digimon. Want to know what they have in common compared to other Digimon?"
(No levels?)
"Yes, no Levels." Said DJ. "I mean…it's kind of obvious on some. Shoutmon looks like he's a Rookie, Tactimon looks like a Mega, and so does Bargamon and Blastmon, and this thing."
(Shows Ballistamon.)
"Uh…I honestly have no idea." Said DJ. "No, seriously. I don't know WHAT level this thing can be. He could be a Rookie, but he's to big. He could also be a Champion, but his attacks and mannerisms don't fit."
(God (Monty Python): GET ON WITH IT!)
"Sorry." Said DJ sheepishly. "Anyway, this bugs me because, well…how powerful the Digimon are is supposed to be known. So if we don't have a level, it gets confusing."
"Digimon with No levels. The Levels of stupid have never been so high." Said DJ.
(Rimshot)
"Lets just move on." Said DJ plainly.
Number 9. Hiding the Digimon in Season 2 (Digimon Adventure 2)
"Okay, you know what's pointless? Hiding Digimon in a world that is HIGHLY AWARE ABOUT IT!" said DJ.
"Okay, here's the thing; in Digimon, part of the series is hiding Digimon from the rest of the world." DJ explained. "…Unless its later on in the season. That's when people are more understanding or panicky about Digimon."
"But this is what confuses me; WHY EVEN HIDE THE DIGIMON IN SEASON 2?" yelled DJ. "What I mean is that everyone on earth should know what a Digimon is."
"I mean…EVERYONE saw those giant rips in the sky that showed the Digital World, they saw what they did and know who the kids are."
"So why the heck should they try and hide what they are doing?" asked DJ. "I think it could to keep the parents from worrying, but TK and Kari's parents should at least know they have experience against the evil Digimon out there, so they can take care of themselves."
"Heck, why don't the parents put two and two together? Oh yeah, they aren't like last season!" said DJ. "And remember that 'stuffed animal' thing from season 1? Well, they try that again…in a world where they saw Digimon, HELLO!"
(Shows Impmon smacking his forehead at this)
"Yeah, this is one thing I think they could've left out." Said DJ. "Lets continue on, shall we?"
Number 8. TO MANY TYPES OF DIGIVOLUTION! (All seasons)
"Remember what I said about digivolving earlier?" asked DJ. "Yeah…THERE'S MORE! Isn't that great?"
(Cricket chirping)
"…okay then…anyway, the first new Digivolution to be introduced was Armor Digivolving. Which is…basically putting on armor." Said DJ. "riveting."
"Weirdly enough, 'Armor' Digimon can easily be digivolved into by normal Digimon without the armor eggs. A Drimongemon, a giant mole with a drill nose, digivolved into a Digmon, a Digimon that looks like an insect creature with drills, in Data Squad."
"Confusing, huh?" asked DJ. "Anyway, there's also Bio-merging, where a Digimon and his/her partner can Digivolve together to become a Mega level. And want to know what's the weird thing? In a energy bubble in the Digimon form, you see underage nudity…gross. Just be thankful they censor it…"
"And in Season 4, Digimon Frontier, the humans have the chance to Digivolve themselves. Yeah, they can go from Human to a Champion-level Human Warrior Digimon, and a Ultimate-level Beast Warrior Digimon." DJ explained as he sighs a bit.
"Confused yet?" asked DJ. "Well…there's another one. Called DNA Digivolving or Xros Digivolution as it's called in Digimon Xros Wars." Said DJ. "This type of Digivolution was introduced in Season 2, the same season that introduced Armor Digivolving."
"Different Digivolutions, this is the most confusing part of any Digimon series." Sad DJ.
Number 7. Diaboromon's return without an explanation (Diaboromon's revenge)
"NOW we're going into the movies folks, be very afraid." Sighed DJ. "For those that don't know, here's some back story."
"In the first movie for Digimon, Digimon the movie, was basically a mix-match of three short films involving Digimon. The second one, our War game, involved an evil virus Digimon called Diaboromon."
(Shows Diaboromon growling)
"Gah…that is creepy…" said DJ. He then says "Anyway, the guy was killed via a SWORD TO THE FACE from Omnimon, but want to know what happened? HE COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD IN THE REVENGE OF DIABOROMON!"
(Shows the Primary village and a question mark over it.)
"Okay, I know in Digimon Seasons 1 and 2, there was the Primary village that can well…have all the eggs of past Digimon." Said DJ. "But think about it; Wizardmon died in the human world, so his egg couldn't go back. That's why he ended up, as well…"
(TK: A ghost!
Kari: Who you gonna call?)
DJ chuckles as he says "But yeah, that logic should still work with the Internet, the place where Diaboromon died. So unless all that data got separated and suddenly became eggs, let me know."
Number 6. Why the Crests aren't in Season 2 (Digimon Adventure 2)
"Okay, we're getting to the really stupid stuff now." Said DJ. "Remember the crests from Season 1?" asked DJ.
(Random Audience: YES!)
DJ rubbed his ear at this as he says, "Okay then…anyway, in Season 2, we find out that the original 8 gave away their crests to the giant dragon thing to get the Digital world protected."
"BUT, that leaves the question on WHY they had to do that when there were those Spirit Stones. You know…the things that BlackWarGreymon were destroying? WHY did they have to get rid of the crests if those were around?" asked DJ.
"Gennai said it was to keep evil out, but THAT didn't stop the Digimon Emperor and Arukenimon from popping up, did it?" asked DJ. "So yeah, that was completely pointless."
"And what's worse is that it greatly depowered the team!" said DJ. "Seriously, those Ultimate levels would've been useful against the new bad guys."
"Ah well…Gennai and the giant dragon DID fix this up by giving the original 8 back the ability to digivolve to their Digimon's full potential, so it's not all bad." Said DJ.
"But still…getting Rid of the crests was just stupid." Said DJ "Sorry Gennai, but…"
(Yoda: That is why you fail.)
"But I guess as Kari said…" DJ began.
(Kari: Crests? We don't need no stinkin' crests)
Number 5. The unneeded Separations (Seasons 1 and 3)
"I know the saying is 'Separation makes the heart grow fonder', but when it's forced…it's forced." Said DJ.
"okay, I think you need an explanation: in Season 1 of Digimon, the team was separated after Tai and Agumon were sent back to the human world. The group had split up because they were arguing and apparently went their separate ways."
(Twilight slams her face into her book at this)
"THAT is just stupid," sighed DJ. "Seriously why would they separate after an argument after getting through the FIRST time."
"The first time the separation happened was because Devimon separated them to keep them weak. So thus keeping together keeps them strong." DJ explained. "BUT a stupid argument breaks them up!"
"So basically it's up to Tai and Agumon, the leaders of the group, to bring back the team. Whoopee-do…" sighed DJ. "But it isn't as bad as Season 3."
"In Tamers, the group gets separated thanks to these giant beams of light. So it's harder for them to find each other." Said DJ. "Seriously, get GPS chips in these kids so they don't get lost! Heck, Mrs. Benson got the right idea with Freddy! And I hate that chick!"
"But in all, these separations were kind of unneeded. And before anyone says anything ,the separations in Frontiers actually helped the characters a bit." Said JD.
Number 4. The Royal Knights are bad guys? (Digimon Frontier and Data Squad)
"Remember Omnimon? Gallantmon? Or maybe Magnamon?" asked DJ. "They're part of a group called the Royal knights."
(Shows the Knights of the Round Table)
"Pretty close." Said DJ. "So yeah, they're some of the greatest heroes of the digital world…so why do they keep teaming up with the bad guys?"
"Seriously, in season 4, we get introduced to two NEW Royal Knights, Crusadermon and Dynasmon, who end up working for Lucemon-I'll get to him later-and end up getting killed by said evil angel."
"Think that's weird enough? I bet your saying 'well they're new guys, what do you expect?' Well…they weren't always evil…Baromon said they used to be good guys."
"So…they're like Hal Jordan when he combined with that giant demon worm?" asked DJ. "But anyway, the most offending to the fans was in Data Squad, where King Drasil-Yes I know what his real name is-had NINE of them go into the human world to take down the heroes."
"And want to know who they were? Well…there was Dynasmon and Crusadermon again, and this guy named Cranimon and UlforceVeedramon…but here's the BIGGEST offenders." Said DJ. "He had…OMNIMON!"
(The DNA-Digivolution of Tai and Matt's Digimon in their mega-levels)
"MAGNAMON!" DJ continued
(Davis's partner, Veemon's most powerful Armor Digivolution)
"AND GALLANTMON!" said DJ.
(Takato and Guilmon's Bio-Merg form)
"I think the biggest thing this bugged with people was that THREE of the main Digimon from the past seasons were now villains. Well…I think it's kind of evened out since in the same seasons Togemon and Digmon were shown to be evil as well…but in Xros Wars, Puppetmon appears to be a good guy."
(Puppetmon: Want to play?)
"Yeah…that kind of guy…" said DJ sheepishly. "But what ever the reason, these heroic Digimon working for the bad guys…makes you wonder how the Justice system works in the Digital world…"
Number 3. The dumb final villains (Any of the seasons)
"Okay, this one is a lot more confusing in later seasons." Said DJ. "In the first season, it was clear that Devimon, Etemon and Myotismon aren't the most powerful evil. Want to know who it was?"
(The Dark Masters?)
"For a time…that would've made sense…except they had a boss." Said DJ. "Apocalymon…who is sort of like Necrom…only emo."
(Apocalymon: Why do you get to laugh when I am forced to cry? Why do you get the chance to taste the best of life while I choke on the leftovers? Answer me this; Why do you get all the Pizza while I get the crust?)
"You know Apocalymon, I would take you more seriously with your sorrow…if you weren't talking about pizza. Just being honest on that." Said DJ with a shrug. "But he isn't the oddest one."
"Lets see in Season 2…there was the Digimon Emperor, but someone was controlling him…but who? Is it Dragomon, the lord of the Dark Ocean? Nope, he was part of a recycled plot…involving Kari becoming it's queen in the original…"
"And Dragomon looks like Cthulhu…so I question Japan with their entertainment sometimes…" said DJ with a shudder. "And it isn't Daemon…even though it would make sense…it was actually Myotismon who got a mega upgrade…"
(Nostalgia Critic: WHA?)
"No idea. Apparently what ever was left of him was sent to another world or something? I'm not sure…but in Season 3, I thought that the main boss would be a Deva…which would've been cool." Said DJ.
"But it turned you to be a giant virus that looked like a giant…digital blob monster?" asked DJ. "That sounds like something from the sci-fi channel." Said DJ. "But even though the final boss of Frontier was…interesting…the final battle between them and Lucemon was…sub par at best."
"But then there's the final battle with King Drasil which was helped by…"
(Shows Marcus punching the creature)
"Yeah…" said DJ. "Sadly I never saw the final episode of Xros wars. So if the skull-handed bad guy, Bargamon, was actually a good final battle, let me know." Said DJ.
"The dumb final battles…something I still question in this show with a lot of good battles." Said DJ.
Number 2. No motives for some of the villains (Most of the seasons)
"I'll keep this one short. This is basically there for the villains who are evil just to be evil." Said DJ. "I know some of them look evil and can be pretty evil…but the ones I question are the actual henchmen."
"I don't mean the Digimon who were brainwashed, I mean the ones that followed the villains willingly." Said DJ. "You know…the villains the kids have to fight every other week."
"I mean…WHY do henchmen work for the bad guys anyway?" asked DJ. " Think about it; the henchmen get their butts kicked every time they fight the heroes, so why team up with them?"
"Is it that they promised part of the power?" asked DJ. "Well…these guys aren't really trustworthy. At all…seriously, why would you trust these guys?"
(Shows pictures of Devimon, Etemon, Piedmon, and Myotismon with a question mark over it)
"But with the ones that were created…it makes more sense since they have no common sense nor the control over themselves. So in all, this is just weird of them." Said DJ.
"BUT that isn't the weirdest thing…here's the weirdest thing. And it's Number 1 on my list…be very afraid…" said DJ.
And the Number 1 most confusing thing in Digimon is…The Love-Love Dance (Digimon Xros wars)
"THIS is why I find this season weird," said DJ. "Besides the Digivolution system in this season makes little to no sense, this makes every other weird scene look completely normal."
(Shows Izzy doing the alphabet while making poses of each letter)
"Yes, it even makes Alphabet Izzy look normal." Said DJ. "Basically Taiki's rivals and their new ally, Stingmon, went into a portal in this area called the 'Forest Zone' to meet with the 'god of love' or something. Apparently said love-god is the guardian."
"But the others need to help them, so they call upon a local named Lilamon, who happens to be Stingmon's girlfriend, for help, and she tells them the only way to get to them to meet the love god is to…do a goofy dance. So she dresses Akari and Zenjirou as…"
(Shows Akari dressed as a flower with a heart-chest plate over her chest area and wearing a flower-themed skirt while Zenjirou is dressed as a bumblebee with the same chest plate)
DJ's jaw dropped at this as he says "And it gets weirder! They begin to DANCE the weirdest dance to ever go into an anime!"
(Akari and Zenjirou: (In embarrassment while doing a very awkward dance) Love, love, love. Love, love, love. (Continues to dance awkwardly) Love you, love you, love (do a bunch of kissy faces with hearts over them) Kiss, kiss, kiss!)
(Sam the Eagle: Your all a bunch of weirdoes.)
"WHAT the heck were the writers on when they made this scene?" asked DJ, weirded out. "This is literally a Big-lipped Alligator moment-"
(BIG-LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!)
"mostly because it wasn't needed. They could've done something more simple like…" DJ began.
(Shows Akari blowing a kiss to a statue of Pharaohmon, making it blush and open a doorway)
"…Well, not like that but what ever." Said DJ. "As Dorulumon put it simply…"
(Dorulumon: (with Beelzemon having his hand on his head while the others just looked weirded out) it's utterly mortifying.)
"Agreed. So the Love, love Dance…is the weirdest thing to ever come out of Digimon ever." Said DJ. "Basically it makes you wonder what the writers drink with their coffee…"
"So that was the weirdest stuff about Digimon, and I hope you enjoyed this episode." Said DJ. "I'm the Demon Critic, I do the reviews-" Suddenly the doorbell rang, getting his attention. "One second." He went to the door and found a DVD case. "Hmm?" He then saw the disc inside and suddenly his eyes narrowed, the green in them turning red.
To be continued…
(Apocalymon: Why do you get all the Pizza while I get the crust!)
