Subtitle positions appears to be broken again.
Gammamon dreaming about chocolate. Lightning outside. The reflection of an eye and we see... Gammamon standing, and evilly laughing.
Gammamon leaves to go see a friend. Hiro checks with him to make sure he knows how to respond if anyone talks to him. Behind the door, Gammamon.
Clockmon shows up and says hi to Gammamon as he's wandering off, he said hi because it's odd for Gammamon to be alone. He happily wanders after saying hi.
The other Clockmon knocks on Hiro's door asking to be let in.
Hiro's eyes go funny when he sees the Gammamon, whose face they don't show us. With a different voice. And meanily eating chocolate, & being more uncooperative than normal.
Hiro muses on it being Gammamon due to how he acts. The real Gammamon comes home. The real one isn't happy, his friend didn't show up.
Hiro is confused since Gammamon was there the whole time, wasn't he? The fake watches from away.
And here's Kiyoshiro, as Gammamon chews on a desk in Kiyoshiro's room. He seems confused that Gammamon is there, as he just saw Gammamon outside.
Kiyoshiro confirms Gammamon was there the whole time.
His friend, Gotsumon, never showed up. But points to suggest he can now. But we only see a familiar face in closeup, not Gotsumon. Gammamon gets permission to go from Hiro. Fake Gammamon arrives knocking and is let in by Hiro.
Only showing Betsumon's face in close up and not as Gammamon is a neat touch, but it might work better as a proper trick if they used a Gammamon-like voice.
Gammamon comes home, but isn't being let in. Hiro opens the door and is confused. And it now reveals Betsumon. Hiro recognizes the fake as the real, and the real as the unspecified friend.
Betsumon saying he's Hiro's brother was a great line. Ruli calls. Ruli doesn't recognize Gammamon as Gammamon either, ditto for Angoramon. They recognize Betsumon as Gammamon.
Gammamon rushes to Kiyoshiro for help. Kiyoshiro freaks out, not recognizing him. Betsumon just sitting there in a Gammamon body with a Betsumon face is great.
Surely Jellymon will help... and it's another Betsumon.
Gammamon leaves. Although Gammamon seemingly doesn't recognize the fake Jellymon. Clockmon doesn't recognize Gammmamon either, and it upsets Clockmon that he'd be lied to. He tells this 'new Digimon' to stay out of trouble.
Gammammon sleeps in the park to get out of the rain. A Meicoomon shows up in the rain, commenting they got Gammamon also. Explaining what happened to him with the Betsumon. He asks Gammamon who he is. When answered, he asks if he has proof? He knew he was Meicoomon... but... maybe he isn't?
Gammamon is upset and says he's Gammamon. Meicoomon sadly says he's been forgotten, no one remembers or knows him anymore. Soon he will disappear. Gammamon isn't as sure anymore. Meicoomon vanishes. Gammamon decides he wants to be with Hiro no matter what and promptly trips into a rain puddle.
Betsumon takes off his Gammamon suit and eats a mustard and wasabi sandwich. He hates sweets.
Him and fake Jellymon go off to meet up with other Betsumon. They replace Digimon as a hobby and for fun.
Jellymon seemingly just hasn't been around, so was easy to replace. They start to prepare human suits for more trouble. Gammamon sees it and rushes to get Kiyoshiro and Hiro up.
Jellymon knocks on Kiyoshiro's door, he's confused why she wouldn't fly through it, gets punched in the face by a Betsumon dressed as him.
Hiro is in the midst of being replaced also, but wakes up, so they back off and hide, minus the fake Gammamon.
Hiro doesn't believe Gammamon about the fake, but he invites him to come with them anyways. Most of the kids in the dorm are Betsumon now.
Betsumon lets Hiro know Gammamon gives him bad vibes. HIro gives him chocolate anyways. Gammamon doesn't want to eat it cause he's sad, but as he flashes back on Meicoomon's words he eats it anyways and starts mowing through them screaming about them being his champion. Betsumon realizes what he's doing and tries to keep up, but his dislike of sweets catches up with him as Gammamon mows through them.
Betsumon clunks over from too much chocolate, which wakes Hiro up from the illusion. Gammamon is very happy and clamps to his head. He cries hugging Hiro and Hiro wipes off the tears.
Betsumon isn't happy the trick is over and rips off the Gammamon costume, and the other Betsumon show up.
Wezen! I think the evolution animation might have been slightly different? There was maybe a bit more of a spin to Gammamon? Or just didn't notice it quite so close before.
Wezen's attacks don't affect Betsu. And they all go diving in uppercutting Wezen.
Canoweissmon. They're playing the avant song during the fight and evolution, which is super weird and doesn't really fit well.
The Betsumon go blowing off in colored streaks.
Clockmon shows up. It appears after running into Gammamon he began to realize something was done. He says he'll take care of them.
Jellymon shows up and finds a tied up Kiyoshiro. Ruli and Angoramon are called again. Angoramon says puffery. Gammamon wants to confirm Ruli & Angoramon know who he is.
The new ED is nice enough.
That was... an entertaining enough episode, mostly? But again kind of falls into the position of, nothing really happens of consequence, especially with them pushing this one ahead of time. I dunno. I found it entertaining, but much of the cast was just missing, and very little happens in the end.
Daisuke Kishio returns to Digimon as Betsumon, a role he previously played in Hunters. He's played many Digimon roles including... Zenjirou, Blastmon, MailBirdramon, Baalmon/Beelzebumon in Xros Wars, not to mention a stack of other roles in Xros & Hunters. He was also Arata in the Cyber Sleuth games.
Wasabi Mizuta also returns to Digimon playing Betsumon (Jellymon). She was previousy Atamadekachimon in Adventure:, but is probably best known as Doraemon in most modern Doraemon content.
Cho returns to Digimon as Meicoomon. He was Yushima in Savers, Nanmon in Frontier, and Pharaohmon in Xros Wars. He has an engless list of credits, but fans would probably know him as Brook in One Piece, and he also appears as the Japanese dub voice of quite a few characters incuding: Elmer Fudd in Looney Tunes, Gollum in the LOTR movies, Neelix in Star Trek VOyager, Scooby Doo in the live action movie, Tarantulas in Beast Wars,
The various other Betsumons were done by members of the Adventure: & Ghost Game ensemble.
