Plot<\/b>: Tohma and Masaru have been ordered to be partners, and they\u2019re getting along about as well as a lake of oil and a wildfire. Tohma insists on using strategies and data to fight opponents while Masaru is adamant on using his \u2018punch first, ask questions later\u2019 method. As they chase down a pair of bank robbers who have befriended a Drimogemon, the two continue to get in each other\u2019s way. Can they manage to work together long enough to capture Drimogemon?<\/p>\n Title Change<\/b>: \u201cThe New Team\u2019s First Mission! Chase Drimogemon!\u201d is changed to \u201cThe New Team of Marcus and Thomas!\u201d\u2026..Aren\u2019t all three of them supposed to be a team? Does Yoshino just not count?<\/p>\n Also, minor note, but goddamn. It takes a full five minutes to get to the theme song and title card in the original in this episode? What the heck?<\/p>\n Agumon originally says Numemon like dark places. In the dub, he says \u201cWow, nothing gets by you does it, boss?\u201d and I sincerely cannot tell if that\u2019s sarcasm.<\/p>\n Yoshino says cleaning up after this will be tough. In the dub, she tells Marcus and Agumon to can the chatter and move in because they have a job to do.<\/p>\n The entrances Tohma refers to are B1 and B3. The dub omits this.<\/p>\n Tohma says the target is moving with a velocity of +2 and a movement rate of 0.6. In the dub, he just says the target is coming their way. To be honest, though, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s babbling about in the dub. Those are some odd measurementss of speed.<\/p>\n Tohma tells Gaomon to move three meters to the left and await orders. In the dub, he tells him to take a forward position and await orders.<\/p>\n Minor, but Yoshino says to stop causing trouble. In the dub, she says they\u2019d be lost without her. The dub makes her more stuck-up is all.<\/p>\n Masaru calls Tohma \u2018Tonma\u2019 again, and Tohma corrects him and asks if he can\u2019t even get someone\u2019s name right. In the dub, they don\u2019t try to make any sort of English equivalent again and just have Marcus say he would listen to Thomas if he had anything worthwhile to say.<\/p>\n Masaru responds to Tohma\u2019s comment by saying he definitely remembers his name, so he mocks him by saying Tohma\u2019s full name just with \u2018Tonma\u2019 as the first name. In the dub, he says he can take on Thomas.<\/p>\n Masaru asks what\u2019s for dinner, and his mom responds that they\u2019re having curry. Marcus points out that Thomas is leaving, and his mother says it\u2019s polite to offer (some tea) anyway.<\/p>\n The original guy breaking into that building doesn\u2019t make a joke about how maybe the gadget that bypassed security can get him a date. Likewise, the other guy didn\u2019t respond that the gadget doesn\u2019t perform the impossible.<\/p>\n The sign on the top of the building originally said \u201cMadaka Bank\u201d. In the dub, this is painted to just say \u201cBank\u201d.<\/p>\n Subbed:<\/p>\n Dubbed:<\/p>\n This tiny paper on the wall got wiped clear of illegible text.<\/p>\n Subbed:<\/p>\n Dubbed:<\/p>\n The taller guy says this gadget cost him a fortune, but he\u2019ll definitely be making up the losses soon. The shorter guy says they won\u2019t just be making up losses, they\u2019ll be filthy rich. In the dub, the taller guy says they\u2019ll be rich soon, and the shorter guy says he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019ll buy first \u2013 a car or a yacht.<\/p>\n The shorter guy says there\u2019s no way the creature can understand what he\u2019s saying. In the dub, he begs the taller guy for help.<\/p>\n Drimogemon originally just repeats a couple of the words the guys are saying. In the dub, he speaks completely normally.<\/p>\n The shorter guy asks why they brought the Digimon with them. In the dub, he asks if he can ride up front.<\/p>\n How can Yoshino tell any data was erased when the computer is showing nothing but a black screen?<\/p>\n Drimogemon is in route A-88. This isn\u2019t included in the dub.<\/p>\n Drimogemon is moving at 60 kph. In the dub, she just says he\u2019s moving quickly.<\/p>\n Drimogemon is heading to Districts D and E. In the dub, she says they\u2019ve picked it up in Area A, and it\u2019s now in Area B, and then it gets to C as she\u2019s talking, so she kinda conveys the same information just in a different way.<\/p>\n Drimogemon originally stopped at District D-06. In the dub, it\u2019s Area E Sector 2.<\/p>\n The text on the top part of the ATM sign is removed.<\/p>\n Subbed:<\/p>\n Dubbed:<\/p>\n Masaru says Drimogemon is getting bigger. Marcus says he\u2019s digivolving. I can get the confusion, but he\u2019s not digivolving.<\/p>\n Attack Name Change<\/b>: Baby Burner is changed to Spitfire Blast. I don\u2019t mind this change because Baby Burner sounds very, very awful.<\/p>\n Tohma says Drimogemon will likely go to Point 08 in District E. This is omitted from the dub.<\/p>\n After Gaomon evolves, Tohma gets on him and tells him to go to Point 08 District E and get there in three minutes. In the dub, this is changed to Area F and he just tells him to double time it. I have no clue why they\u2019re changing the locations to only slightly different location names.<\/p>\n The blockades that were lifted were originally for Districts D-06 and D-08. In the dub, it\u2019s Areas E and F.<\/p>\n The dub omits the mention that Yoshino\u2019s been working since yesterday morning.<\/p>\n Yoshino says being on duty is rough, and Lalamon says she\u2019s with her. In the dub, she says she\u2019s not complaining about getting some downtime, and Lalamon says it sounds like that\u2019s exactly what she\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n The text on Yoshino\u2019s kitty book is removed.<\/p>\n Subbed:<\/p>\n Dubbed:<\/p>\n I really don\u2019t understand how Tohma got in there. We saw the door the entire time it was open. There\u2019s no way he snuck in unless he can become invisible.<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n This episode was a bit of a welcome surprise because it ended with the conflict hanging in the air. Masaru and Tohma are more at odds than ever before, and Drimogemon got away. (Though, they did capture the bank robbers.) Granted, I didn\u2019t expect them to become best buds or anything after one episode, but you usually see a bit more movement in that area in kids shows and they wisely chose to show them butting heads even more and leaving it open for more development in the future.<\/p>\n Granted, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s exactly fun to watch these two bicker and act like idiots for 23 minutes. And, again, you really can\u2019t help but side with Tohma most of the time. Masaru\u2019s bull-headed way of doing things may work sometimes, but it\u2019s foolish and dangerous, and the fact that Masaru continues to be unable to accept that is just frustrating. He\u2019s almost worse than Goku in his thirst for a fight. He actively refuses smart options and strategies just because \u201cURGH I WANNA PUNCH A DIGIMON!\u201d<\/p>\n As someone who\u2019s never watched Savers\/Data Squad<\/i>, I have to wonder if his storyline is heading in the way of him accidentally screwing up majorly due to his desire to fight and it hurts someone badly so he gets a reality check. I really don\u2019t want them to keep feeding into this idea that his way is right just because\u2026I dunno, fighting spirit or something.<\/p>\n I will relent on one choice he made, though. Tohma, it is obviously more intelligent to follow Drimogemon through his own tunnel than just guess where he\u2019s going to go based on the angle in which he\u2019s heading at the start. He can change directions, dude. He was right in his calculations, but that seemed more like fantasy calculations based on little data with a ton of luck thrown in.<\/p>\n The episode\u2019s true cliffhanger is that Tohma snuck into the Digital Dive to head into the Digital World to retrieve Drigmogemon against Satsuma\u2019s orders. The Digital Dive is apparently dangerous for humans to use, so we\u2019ll see how that works out for him.<\/p>\n The dub this time around was perfectly fine story and character-wise. A lot of the changes were just pointless little details that they easily could have gotten correct but clearly chose not to, for some reason. I don\u2019t get Studiopolis\u2019 logic.<\/p>\n Next time, Masaru and Agumon go into the Digital World to chase down Tohma and hopefully take down Drimogemon.<\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fiddletwix.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/screenshot-2025-05-14-203236.png\")
