[Electric Turahk]

Not a bad start to Tri. But with how perfectly it split into 4 parts... Crunchyroll adding opening and closing videos to each one even... Yeah this is totally still the 24 episode show it was originally meant to be, isn't it?


Right off the bat I just want to complain about Alphamon. I've been saying since he was revealed in teasers that I hate he's an antagonist. Just for once I'd like the Royal Knights to be allies from the start, assuming he even ever turns around. I don't see that happening ugh. I would have also liked him to have at least spoken... It's Alphamon of all the freaking Knights to choose! He better have a good reason and to not have him react to an Omegamon showing up before him... Bleh. Just too mindless.

Huckmon being there (thanks, totally didn't recognize him at first) at least leaves me with some hope that there are actually other Knights active and they're not just using one as an antagonist only because it makes for an easy powerful enemy.

Having one of the DigiDestined have a moral dilemma over their actions due to the destruction it causes after growing up a bit makes sense to me. I was even fine with it being Tai. Loved that this time Matt had to talk him out of it. I was going to be glad it was gotten out of the way in just the first act, but then that bit at the very end showing he hasn't actually sucks. There's our ongoing conflict between them I guess, even though we don't really need it.

Joe being a dick and ignoring everyone is annoying.

But what's more annoying is ignoring the rest of the 02 cast. Of course we know what happened to them, and hell even this mysterious agency (tangent, yay Gennai was referenced!) was keeping tabs on them. But our cast did not bring them up once? Bullshit. Even a single line saying they couldn't be contacted (derp wonder why) when supposedly assembling the team might have sufficed. It was just weird to not see them mentioned outright.

I loved the new evolution sequences. Shame we didn't get them for the Perfects and Ultimates or even Omegamon at the end. That would've been cool. Although seeing the other Didimon besides the "main" in their Perfect and even finally giving them Ultimates in future installments would be cooler..
