Old man walking home after work, and here's Doumon, and some green guys.
Ane he flattens him into paper, literally.
Hiro and Kotaro at their sister school's festival, which is a girls school.
They talk about the dancing, Gammamon notes he can dance. The girls are enthralled by Gammamon. Hiro is bothered that he has to play an actual role in their play.
An important one, since someone got sick.
Doumon getting up to shenanigans again. And digital corruption all around.
Hiro is not the Human Torch, and if lit on fire, will vanish. The audience applauds confused at what's going on.
A shadowy figure doesn't like what he's seeing.
Hiro is teleported into a room, and Doumon slaps a seal on him. Hiro has yellow eyes now, and Doumon treats him as his lord. Hiro believes he's the lord, and Doumon seems to be playing out 'real' events following up the play.
Espimon reveals himself to Gammamon. Espimon doesn't seem quite as enthralled with Gammamon's cuteness.
It isn't clear if Hiro is hypnotized or possessed at this point.
Doumon casts the paper spell on a girl they nabbed and we can see a large wall floating in the air of this paper army. And other seals become the green guys.
Green charms, spirit creatures Doumon controls. Red charms, people they capture to make their army.
Espimon seems convinced that the person who vanished on stage wasn't Hiro. Gamammon jumps in to save people, Espimon jumps in to save Gammamon.
Gammamon seems impressed Espimon can fly. Espimon says he's heading off. Gammamon looks at him with shiny eyes for helps. Espimon says those eyes are unfair, you can't say no to them. He asks what Gammamon's plan is.
More people getting turned into red charms. Not the 100k Doumon needs though, not yet.
Hiro's face and voice shift into something more akin to the lord. Very lizardy.
Gammamon calls Ruli to come there and help. Espimon demands the phone.
Ruli and Angoramon are going, but they both comment it's quite far.
Espimon running is an interesting look. He's more wobbling back and forth. Espimon grabs him so they can fly off faster.
Angoramon calls his good friend Airdramon, Ruli, Kiyoshiro, and them will ride him to where Hiro is to go quickly.
Clockmon introduced him to Angoramon.
Airdramon comments he should be worshiped. Jellymon comments he looks like an advertising thing.
Doumon trying to tell his lord the plan, and Gammamon and Espimon zoom in.
Doumon refers to the others as shikigami.
Gammamon isn't happy talking to 'Hiro' who doesn't recognize him, but Espimon has noticed something it appears.
Espimon points out Hiro is being controlled and to grab the talismans on him. Gammamon likes this idea when it's explained to him that grabbing it should turn Hiro back.
Nabs it with his teeth jumping past and we get an exorcism ghost energy zooming out.
Not sure if it went into Doumon, or if he just got an infusion of energy with the lord being boomed away.
Hey look, Wezen. Espimon is surprised Gammamon can evolve. Espimon manipulates enemies into heading into Wezen's blast path.
Canoweissmon time. Espimon just commenting is Gammamon for real evolving again was amusing. Doumon doesn't like any of this then gets a blast in the face.
Multiple spirits leave Doumon and vanish, claiming they will be back again.
Cano turns back to Gammamon, surprising Espimon again.
Doumon doesn't know why he is there, or any memory of what has happened. The last thing he remembers was trying to learn the human worlds divine arts, and spirits possessed him.
Espimon says he doesn't overly care, but he needs to turn everyone back to normal.
Doumon thanks them for freeing him. Doumon will return to studying and says goodbye. Hiro comments that seems dangerous.
Gammamon introduces Espimon to Hiro properly. Espimon asks Hiro if he knows Hiro. He's apparently looking for Hiro, but says he doesn't look like the Hiro he's looking for.
Airdramon brings the other, Angoramon is puffy. Ruli and Airdramon apparently get along very well.
They turn around and Espimon is gone. He's sitting on a tree holding Hiro's school ID and notes that Gammamon is pretty amazing.
Hiro's Study File features Doumon. This has no more Ruli and Angoramon than the episode itself.
Another episode that falls into doesn't do anything that wild, but good enough. Espimon is interesting, and a new ongoing plot thread that'll be interesting to see how it goes. Would like to see a bit more energy from him though, he seemed oddly calm.
