Tamers Stand! MegaloGrowlmon... Super Evolution!

Grow Mon Grow


Sahgo's notes: You know, the dub title really disturbed my comprehension. Maybe that's why I had a bad performance in today's school exams ^^ So, I have one more reason to hate Saban. This episode is fine -> a lot of intact lines and just a few added lines. Cool, cool. Maybe the problem is: as the american writers obviously hate Daisuke, they seem to hate Takato too. Since almost all the Stupid Dialogue of this episode is his. I wonder if it does have a rule that the Digimon Series' Main Character alway has to be idiot. Hum... that's a good theory... The English Version was written by Steve Blum. What a relief. After episode 13, I don't want to see ANY episodes written by Adele Lim (hah hah hah.... well, I can dream, can't I?)

Censor:
How to explain... to cover this scene, where Impmon steps on Culumon, they paralized the last frame before Impmon's foot appear (= Culumon on the ground). The interesting is, in the dub, Calumon, from backs, says "What do you want from me, you big bully?!". First, Impmon is far from being "big". And second, we usually turn our face to people when we're questioning them, you know. Ouch! Just 'cause I'm annoying and stupid, it doesn't mean you can STEP on me!

Stupid Dialogue:
Even with some basic added lines (most of them are pretty simple, like "Move out the way!", etc), there's still a lot of silence in the dub ^^ Takato: "Wow, it looks like the sky is on fire!" Sure thing... Oh, wait. No, it isn't. Yamaki: "Beasts of mayhem, time to go away". The line isn't stupid itself, but... I think this rime was made by purpose... Yamaki (refering to Takato): "Well, look who's come to ------- my brillance!" Nobody..... Takato: "It's like some giant digimon vacuum cleaner!" No, it looks like a giant red hole in the sky... oh, and that's what it is ^^ Takato: "Digimon are... digimon are... digimon are friends of humans! "
Takato: "Digimon are... digimon are.... well, are COOL, that's all, and this one happens to be my best friend!" The line is pretty similar to the original, but.... "are COOL, that's all"... that was.... terrifying...

Cut:
(1 second) Yamaki grabbing Lee's neck. KILL CHILDREN, KKIIILLL CHILDREEENNN!!!!

Stupid Dialogue:
In the this japanese episode, Ruki isn't being completely stubborn. In the dub, "old habits can never be lost", so...

Side Note:
You know, I don't get this. If the Tamers always had those evolution cards, WHY THEY NEVER USED THEM!? Today Takato "happens" to "conveniently" having this card, then, all three Tamers use it. And it will be used to the rest of the series. But I still can't understand why didn't they do this in the last 13 episodes. Oh well. Oh, and in the original, the name of the card is something like "Evolution Acessory E". In the dub, it's (you guessed!) "Digivolution Activate".

Stupid Dialogue:
Ruki: "Go for it, Kyuubimon!"
Rika: "Oh yeah, now we're talking!" (or "we attacking") O_o''' Kyubimon: "How about a DANCE, big boy?!"
Mihidramon: "GRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR"
Kyubimon: "Tough guy!"
 OH NO! THE BATTLE PUNS ARE BACK!!

Side Note:
Oh yeah, Growlmon's attacks... well, actually, until this episode, the japanese Growlmon hasn't screamed his attack's name. Only today he says, and: Exhaust Flame -----> Pyro Blaster.

Cut:
(5 seconds or so) In the original, Mihidramon bites Growlmon longer, moving his head while he does it. In the dub, Mihidramon bites Growlmon, and he screams, immediatly. That happens all over the episode, in scenes that shows again and again Mihidramon's bite. They're shortned, or even deleted.

Stupid Dialogue:
Rika: "Brilliant Einstein, what do you suggest?!" ...How many times was this "Einstein" nicknaming used? Takato: (All the talk finishing with the "I'll do it if you guys want or not!")
Rika: "Okay, I'm with'ya!"
Takato: "That's more like it". You choose such the worst scenes to say this crap...

Censor:
As you can imagine, "MATRIX EVOLUTION" was replaced with (duh) "MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION".

Side Note:
MegaloGrowlmon's name was changed to WarGrowlmon.

Stupid Dialogue:
Lee: "He evolved..."
Ruki: "To Kanzentai form..."
Henry: "My little boy's growing up!"
Rika: "I'll give you THAT one" ............NO.........COMMENTS...........AT ALL............. Takato: "Time to get the tiger by the tail!" Yeeeeaaaah.... Kenta: "You're a real Tamer!"
Kato: "Takato-kun..."
Takato: "You were pretty cool out there, Chumley (?)"
Juri: "And cute!" You know, Takato and Juri are significantly distant in that scene. How the hell did Juri HEARD this imaginary line of Takato, and then, how the hell could she answer?! WarGrowlmon: "Takatomon..." ...nobody...says...nothing... Takato: "I'm a REAL TAMER~~!!!!!"
Takato: "Looks like we're gonna need a lot more peanut butter!" O_O DID HE ACTUALLY SAY THAT IN THE LAST AND COOL SCENE OF THE EPISODE?!?!?!?
