We start with spirits chasing a woman. And dead end.
Clinking noises as they get closer from around a corner. Silence. The woman calms down.
And it pops up in front of her demanding to be shown red. And she gets tabbed for her confusion.
Over to the gang. Kiyoshiro is already trying to escape before they investigate an oni that took someone.
And Espimon returns from his trip to find the real Hiro commenting he has heard of this story. Kiyoshiro really wants to leave.
And they go off on Airdramon to help.
They meet up with the girl who talks about her sister going missing. They go looking around at night, following the path they think the sister mmay have taken.
The spirits find Kiyoshiro and Hiro the direction they went. Hiro doesn't seem convinced.
More asking for red. Hiro and Gammamon figure out quickly it's a Digimon, and don't really get what he's saying. It likes Hiro's jacket though, but leaves to harass Kiyoshiro. Gammamon gets knocked down protecting him. Kiyoshiro shows it Hiros' jacket, and it's happy. And it stabs Hiro.
Gammmamon is displeased, Kiyoshiro passes out. It takes Hiro. Gammamon answers Hiro's phone when Ruli calls and says he's going after them.
Another of the Oboromon finds Ruli and Miori. Angoramon comments they don't know much about Oboromon. It demands blue. Tries to stab them. Angoramon blocks the blade as best he can.
Portal opens behind Hiro showing a lot of people merged together in a red portal space. Off Hiro goes into it, and connected to the last person in the chain.
As people go up the chain they appear to be becoming flattened. Ruli is running. And more Oboromon who want yellow and black.
Jellymon floating around commenting this area isn't good for business, right as a pseudo space is activated by Ruli.
Jelly electrocutes Hiro awake to his limit break.
Angoramon punches one of the Oboromon in the face, more show up. They start to argue amongst themselves. Kiyoshiro calls her and explains the color stuff.
Ruli starts to deal with color stuff to make them go away. She has nothing blue though. So Symbare.
Oboromon hits Symbare quite hard, Ruli gets stabbed and carried off. She drops the field/space so they can track her GPS.
Gammamon comes across a geren Oboromon, not realizing it isn't the one they found before.
Ruli gets tossed into the blue space.
The Oboromon decide Gammamon won't count for their game, but might be entertainment otherwise.
Symabre shows up where Tesla and Kiyoshiro are hiding. The Oboromon pull out their human chains to find out who will be the king.
Red won, he starts to combine all 5 chains of people into one, his new scarf. Seemingly gaining much power.
Gammamon is freaking out. Symbare pulls him down from where he was jabbed, but his face is angry.
Gammamon starst to rush at them to get back Hiro, they knock everyone down, and Gammamon gets back up while yelling and angry. Slammed down again by Red.
Gammamon looks up a growl and as he screams he rushes forward and his eyes have gone a bit wide, knocked down again.
The music hanges, he looks up screaming with his eyes black. Evolves into Gulus with a nice sequence.
Everyone else is quite worried. Gulus is laughing. Red is skewered and dies as he comments he is king, how could he lose? Everyone is returned to normal who was part of his scarf.
Hiro notices Gulus. The other Oboromon want to know who he is? He begins to eat energy from blue, taking them out one by one while eating their color energy, largely before they can even decide to do anything.
No more Oboromon. Hiro yells for Gulus to stop.
Gulus comments that he should try and sync before ordering him around. Gulus comments he shouldn't be caught by these losers. But Hiro made a step forward. He says seeya later bro, as Gulus turns back into a sleeping Gammamon.
The Oboromon are hiding to the side, not dead (different ones I guess?_, they comment on the 'jet black champion' that they had been told about previously.
BlackGrowmon watches from the distance.
Hiro's Study files is... Oboromon.
The episode overall was pretty standard until the Gulus stuff at the end, which wasn't that functionally different than Gulus stuff before. We get a whiff of Oboromon, and other Digimon, knowing 'something' about Gulus, but the 20 episodes inbetween last time we saw him without much being added here makes Gulus' return fun in visuals, style, and action, but lacking substance. But it's a rare time Ghost Game shows anything that might be taken as moving forward, so it at least adds a little bit.
