Digimon Ghost Game episode 45: Quite an episode of two halves, punctuated by the surprise reveal of a brand new Digimon. I take back what I said about Ryudamon being a one-off, seems like he'll stick around like Espimon does, which given what we saw of the new Dim Card will likely be significant. The whole "newspaper predicting the future" felt very "SMT-Devil Survivor" which is funny since Digimon Survive just came out recently. When I first saw the yellow hands causing trouble I assumed that Sukamon might be behind it but I was way off since it's the brand new Digimon, Publimon. Maybe it's just me, but the tone seemed to markedly shift once Publimon started targeting the idol group as it felt like it lost the horror aspect and just became about yet another Digimon causing trouble. I did laugh when Gammamon yeeted himself and Hiro out of the airplane, if Gammamon didn't have full control over his choice of Champion and went Betel or Wezen accidentally it would have been darkly hilarious. I did have a bearbug with the fact that Kaus was trying to protect Anna from Publimon's assaults on her parachute and Hiro didn't ever think to try activating the Digital Field since that would have removed the problem. We did have an interesting twist in that Publimon doesn't get redeemed but accidentally kills himself through his malicious intent coming back to bite him. I'm sad the episode closes before Gammamon says anything about the Digital World as I would have been interested in hearing what he remembers but alas.
