Thank you joining me on this journey. It was sometimes wonderful, sometimes frustrating, but always interesting. Here's what I have planned next AFTER Ghost Game: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8CEldBl0-DcgnU.html

I love how Mummymon is now a full fledge Doctor walking with Human Doctors. I guess he earned it when he gave aid to humans when trying to deal with some of the digimon that harmed humans. I think it would be a nice touch to have Mummymon's passion become fully recognized. Now you might want to look forward to tackling Seekers when it drops next month.

Ghost Game's ending is literally that one Simpsons scene that goes: Homer: Marge, I'm confused, is this a happy ending or a sad ending? Marge: It's an ending, that's enough. Overall, this show was the most enjoyable wasted potential for me.

Can you believe that the Ghost Game finale showed up and just said “isnt it weird we never seen the digital world space?” and then just left the discord call.

We need to preserve this show to the best of our ability. Then the animators in 4023 can continue this series.

i legit laughed for a solid 10 minutes when gulus said "I came from space" seeing how that's studio TRIGGER's trademark nonsense ending twist and i was half joking with a friend that this would happen

This felt like a penultimate episode, I personally felt like we needed one more episode.

If anything, I'd say Blacktailmon collected digimon who's interactions were on the path to a collapse so she could analyze why and when they failed, more than those who successfully collected data.

I feel like they just gave us a bunch of misdirection and distractions at the very end so that no one could remember and question Quantumon for being a murderer We get a bunch of information all at once so that from the start we can't focus on everything that has happened, and just on what she wants to touch upon Then when she confesses to her actions under her framing, they had Hiro focus on Quantumon using Digimon as pawns, which was bad but at the end was one of her lesser evil, remember that she just confessed sending a serial killer in the form of Sealsdramon who ended on Bokomon dying, she send Archnemon who went and ate a whole building worth of human brains, she was behind everything bad that happened other than the GRB infection. And she got away with it, how? By shrugging off the accusations about her smaller misdeeds, with the help of Jellymon and Angoramon who went "na we don't mind being used as pawns by her", making it seem like it was not a big deal, and then before anyone can regain their footing and ask her about all the digimon and humans that got killed due to her actions, we have Gulus appear again and drop off a new plot with more urgency So of course if now everyone is worried and focused on an incoming world ending danger, no one is gonna be thinking about past misdeeds, those who are already dead become afterthoughts in front of the idea of those that may get killed And this missdirection worked so well, that so far even the audience is forgetting this

I am happy that ghost game answered the only question I had: wether Siriusmon had hands under his gun-sword gauntlets or not😅

Digimon Space Game is gonna fix everything don't even wooooooorry about it

when gulu/gammamon brought up the end-bringer I was SO SURE that was gonna be a tease for season two or something like that, just for it to be turned into a joke a second later...

The problem for me is: it felt like they summarized all of the conflicts, questions, and major plot points are in a five minute monologue from Quantumon. I thought they were going to confront her in battle or something then that didn’t happen. GulusGammamon talks about this endbringer and we don’t do anything with that. For this season, The storyline was OK overall. The issue with pacing. Too many monster of the week episodes with little/no enough plot development. So now we have to have everything all at once in a very small timeframe. Then y’all made the other two partner Digimon just stand there. Finale wound up being my least favorite episode🤷🏾‍♂️

I feel like the 2000 year excuse was just the director saying ya we wanted to make a final battle but ran out of time, I seriously don't understand why there was so much filler if they started the finale 10 episodes early we could have had proximamon vs the end bringer

No Arcturusmon or Proximamon. No using of Millenniummon's crystal. All the unsatisfactory answers to the series main questions. The setup even as far into the series as ZeedMillenniummon's episode. I genuinely have the vibe they didn't expect the series to end when it did, that there was some kind of executive meddling behind the scenes or something. Hopefully with the open ending we can get a sequel or movie or something that fixes some things.

The final fight between Regulus and Sirius was fun. And that's all the praise I can give this episode. Not that it was bad, but my God, 67 episodes of wasted potential. This whole series basically screams "we had no end goal in sight when we started." This could've been great, phenomenal, even. But all we got was a pretty pile of "that's it?"

Siriusmon's mouth open up is my favorite scene from this episode, i sure its because i like the evolution sequence of Arresterdramon Superior Mode where his mouth open up, still like that scene

It honestly felt like that the Toei hack that happened around the midway point of the series may have impacted how the show was meant to progress. We still don't know what was taken really so it may have caused them to go in a different direction/adapt and this weird end game is what they were able to piece together. Could just be hopeful thinking.

Gulus is basically the Symbiote and the silver surfer combined. Also the space might've been the Space of the Digital World.

Not going to lie, that shot of Siriusmon's mouth opening was weird as hell. I had to rewind it and watch it again just to understand what was happening.

Imagine going back in time and telling someone who watched the first episode that this is the ending we got. Waiting 67 weeks for this was painful.

There needs to be a sequel movie that is a kind of Interquel more. I actually can see some set up for Proximamon and Arcturusmon in a movie. Basically, events that happen after the final battle, but before the epilogue. I am honestly also one of those who is just confused by everything. I know I'm going to be disappointed, but... I am just perplexed, and am dreading my friends' reactions to this. They are going to be WAY more critical than me.

The Ghost Game Finale gave me the same sensation that I got from Season Two of The Promised Neverland. *"Mediocre is being generous."* Which is actually a little impressive given how TPN did a nosedive into the ground in a span of 12 episodes while Ghost Game did it in 3-5. 😅 I didn't HATE it as much as TPN but it DEFINITELY feels like they scrapped stuff that should've been included. Another few episodes probably would've done it but what we got is just "meh."

Man, i still cannot believe that they had 67 episodes (more than your average digimon series) to solve the unanswered mysteries they set up and never do something interesting or meaningful with them. I remember read somewhere that the main writer (Masashi Sogo) recognized in his blog that it was a psychological torture to work for this series, and he even said he was afraid that the ending might not be enough satisfying. After all, now i get why he was afraid: the ending was absolutely disastrous.

The biggest question this ending gave me was: Does the Digital World have space? Did Gulus come from the human world's space or the Digital Space? Because if he was an alien digimon that came from another digital world, then maybe the Endbringer is solely a digital entity and that's why Quantumon was so freaked out?

in a card game artwork from Proximamon we can see the sun like thing from this episode in the background It was definitely planned for proximamon and the Endbringer to appear in anime but something must have gone terribly wrong

The Ending of this series is proof they really didn't know how to end so they basically just dumped everything they were planning to do before they found out "oh? we don't have anymore time" also I agree with you this is a very unfulfilling ending and I guess everybody else

It's honestly a unforgivable crime how many episodes ghost game had to tell a story with, and they wasted the entire series. I can't even recommend it to someone who might be curious about digimon.

I honestly think nobody expected the horror themed Digimon to end with "And they become politicians" Also I did not expect that the most unsettling thing from the entire show would come from Seriusmon, with Ghules saying "Its devour or be devoured", and Seriusmon not even flinching, opens his jaw and absolutely silently proceeds to devour him Ps. It was nice that they literally updated the opening for the last episode, shows that some people that worked on this show really had a lot of love for it And about Ghoules being an alien and made it to the Digital world instead of the human one didn't bug me, because I used to be a fan of Megaman Star Force where the aliens were "wave" aka data beings like other things that lived on the internet, so I just assumed that Ghoules comes from a world that is made out of data, and thus he is a Digimon just not from this world

Well... It made sense digimon Ghost game have no story, the camera man arrived early and started recording a random group of friends, 200,000 years from now we're going to have an incredible, completely crazy serie, breaking franchise patterns involving even space, factions, a world-devouring being...

If they did a season 2, it'd be pretty interesting if Gammamon split into GulusGammamon and whatever champion form he chose when digivolving. It'd be like Hiro had twin Digimon like Willis.

Aw man this ending was soo baad! I've tried to be positive throughout the series and when Megas arrived I was "yeah now we're getting to the good stuff for real". And then nope, never mind. I thought I'd be sad without my weekly Digimon show but maybe it's better for the next show that they really let it cook and be ready, not like GG was. So... next one will be better? Hopefully before the Endbringer is here.

The ending is the most whiplash I ever felt I can actually feel the breakneck speed, appmon did it better with all the plotline completely explain and Leviathan was better explain than whatever Quantumon was. Appmon real world lessons was in 2045 A.I will surpass human intelligence and with all the A.I art stuff and chat gbt I can say that prophecy is getting closer while GG 2000 years later some space ball gonna eat us is so goofy. I didn't understand Quantumon the first time that I had to rewatch the exposition multiple times just to understand it while Leviathan, I actually understand what he's talking about and his goal of a utopia.

It’s a shame that we didn’t see Arcturusmon in the show

I think we need a movie where Proximamon does battle this Endbringer and Gulus just got the time wrong.

Thanks for covering this series man. Excited to see what you'll do next!

Ghost Game's issues can be summed up with bad pacing and planning. Potential plot lines were set up that never went any where, and other plot points were never brought up until they didn't matter anymore. Quantomon's influence should've been far more noticeable (Hiro finding his Dad's communications with her, the symbol on her chest appearing in more places than the vital bracelet) and have the digimon set up as being the big bad only to reveal that she was always good and Gullusmon is the villain (and has been manipulating things in the background with events like the destroyed computer pad being Gullus not Gamma). I really don't think they knew how they were going to truly end things beyond MC's digimon has been the big bad the entire time until they started writing those episodes. Ghost Game lost a lot of potential limiting itself to one and done episodes. There were a number of foes that should've taken two episodes to do their horror proper justice. End an episode with the monster of the week winning so that when Hiro and friends come back to win, it feels more earned. Let the horror of a digimon's antics sink in for a week before resolving it. And the whole resetting to status quo needed to be pitched. Beyond Kiyoshiro's struggles to conquer his fears, no one really advanced as a character. Pokemon is highly episodic in it's approach, yet when something changes, the show allows the change to stay. There's no reason they couldn't stress an aspect of Hiro's or Ruli's characters and use a change to that as the realization point for evolution. Don't just have Ruli say in the final few episodes she's looking for a hobby to enjoy, have her make comments about the hobbies she attempted in the show about how driving go-carts is best enjoyed sparingly that karaoke singing isn't for her, and then when SymbaAngoramon evolves it's in part that Ruli accepts who she is as a person, On the whole Ghost Game really could've competed as one of the best seasons of all time. There is a lot of good in the series. It easily has some of the best singular episodes of all digimon. It is just the problems are too glaring and could've easily been fixed with better direction and attention to plot details for the series as a whole. Had they approached the series like it was a digimon version of Doctor Who where seemingly separate episodes are linked to in a surprising fashion to the season ending, it could've been really special. Maybe that was their intent, but the main plot was poorly handled. I'd likely place the series as my fifth or sixth favorite right now. It might go down the more time I think about it, but it certainly won't go up as original Adventures, Adventures 02, Tamers and Appmon are all firmly placed above it for quality of story and plot.

Thank you for your services. I could not, in my right mind, find the ability to continue this series on a weekly basis.

I enjoyed Ghost Game overall but I can certainly say I understand why some folks didn't. I felt like the final episode would've been better as a movie or OVA. But overall it definitely built on a lot of the themes the show had and wrapped up pretty much all the questions I had... so I'm satisfied. Honestly it was better for the stories told along the way than the ending itself. I think at the very least it deserves a try from Digimon fans and is a fun take on the franchise. Looking forward to see how Seekers and future projects go.

These last few episodes should have been expanded more. I can't believe its over. Now to wait for digimon seekers web novel & 02 movie

I think they could use GGs ending here as a jump point for a new series, one that takes place in the same continuity but a 1000+ years later with completely new protagonists and their digimon; here, the story would be that the Endbringer's arrival draws near and our new protags and their digi-partners need to stop it in order to live up to the legacy left behind by the GG heroes

Never had I imagined the casts becoming ambassadors of a new Digimon-Human country and having all those appointments with different countries. Heck, this whole episode feels as if this is something I would dream up in my sleep lol

The entire time I felt like I was watching an hour version of the episode in 2x or 3x speed. I can only think that something happened behind the scenes that cut their time. I think there was definitely more to the conversation between gammamon and gulus to explain the whole space stuff and they had to cut out as much as they could to wrap it up in whatever way they could.

The ending really let me down. Ghost Game had so much promise, but everything it set up just fell flat on its face on the first step. Hell, there's STILL unresolved stuff. I'm disappointed to see it was ultimately mediocre at best. But hey. At least we stayed till the end. And watching you review it was pretty fun.

I actually laughed at points during the finale. Quote myself about halfway through the Quantumon scene, "this is fucking foul." This finale absolutely reeks of mismanagement and conflict behind the scenes. The writers wanted one thing, the showrunners wanted another, or something like that. Problem is, cramming everything you wanted to do right at the end just makes it worse. I would have rather had Quantumon cut, gotten *no answers at all,* and the finale be a big battle where Arcturus and Proximamon appear and then defeating Gulus just vanishes the GRB like every other MotW resolution. Because this is... just awful. They unironically tried to shove an entire series' worth of plot and revelations into the last 10 minutes of the show. 67 episodes. 67 *weeks* (+ hiatuses) of investment from the audience, and this is how we go out. This is the finale we all waited for.

This show started off with soooooo much potential

'Somethings coming!' 'When?' '2000 years in the future' *Everybody live happily ever after

This was PAINFULL to watch! Quantummons ONLY PURPOSE was to be an exposition device to close all lose ends and all of our questions and I HATED it! I can finally say it. Digimon 2020 was better than this by MILES even with the fast pacing. This show had some good moments but overall was bad. I dont think you are shocked but you were laughing about it how bad this ending was xD

Rushed... that,s the only word I have for it, its fine that it was more episodic focused but it felt like the writers realized they had to put an ending in there and ran out of time, sirius vs gulles looked amazing but that info dump after was just awefull

Considering the shows tendency to troll it's audience with carrot mysteries that inevitably wind up being nothing in the end (Fake Hiro cough), the series show ending on such a troll was hilarious to me

Feels like set up for a movie finale " A giant meteor threatens the planet its up to Ghost game crew AND GULUS!? to save the human and digital world"! honestly despite flaws i really liked Ghost Game the digimon designs are great, loved charscters and was just fun

Digimon Ghost Game's finale was a disappointment and we have no one to blame but the anime's producers who didn't deal with this anime the right way. The scenarists, animators and voice actors just did their job as best as they could, don't blame them. Paradoxe : Even though it was the scenarists' job to give this anime some sense ? -____- They probably had a longer climax in mind, yeah...

It's so weird. They had a 3 episode finale to work with and just didn't really do anything at all in the first 2 episodes, so the finale was just a rushed mess.

Man, if only they actually did something with their episodes rather than just monster of the week. I love the Vital Bracelet and I thought this series would be great lorewise, but eh. I hope Seekers does better.

The sad thing is when anyone can take the concepts introduced in every Ghost Game episode and with a computer write original episodes of their own going with an actual story on that regard. I have been doing that since your 50 episodes review of Ghost Game and while I have not been able to commit to a weekly schedule I would say I ended up going further than just one single episode that I have written out of spite for the writers of the series.

It’s like the writers/show runners had a bunch of ideas for the show, scrapped them all to do an episodic format instead, then dumped them all here because they like their ideas so much. “Look how cool and creative we are!” Like… I like Gulus being from space. He’s way more alien than Gammamon’s other evolutions when you point it out. I would’ve loved a whole plot arc digging into that.

I definitely agree that this ending was pretty bad, but at the very least, I’m glad Naotoshi Shida got the final word for this last battle. Overall, Ghost Game’s episodic formally and breaking away from the normal Digimon formula ended up being this show’s downfall. But that being said, Gammamon has become my favorite main character Digimon and I cannot thank Miyuki Sawashiro enough for her incredible performance as the Gammamon line.

This finale was... a bit out of control for me. Like the battle was cool, but everything else became really crazy and messy. And to suddenly bring up "The Endbringer?" Just why? If they were going to do that, they should have created a final episode or two for it. It felt like they just wanted to create explanations in the last few minutes so we can be satiated. But honestly, I'm not satiated by this. This episode also totally felt like a penultimate versus a final episode. Maybe we'll get a new series that makes "The Endbringer" as the main villain. I dunno. I'm not a fan of the ending, honestly. Maybe it's just me.

I wish that they foreshadowed the space thing earlier I don't like how everything is explained in a rushed way. But Gammamon being from space makes sense due to Bokomon and other digimon stating that they haven't seen a digimon that looked like him before and how all of his evolutions have ties to Space and star constellations .Even the realm that got created when Canoweisemon and Regulusmon were split was space-themed. I just don’t like how the show never mentions anything about it prior to the finale.

Thanks for the videos, bud. This was fun and frustrating lol I didn't expect them to go the Trigger studio ending way... Space + nonsense + so much lost potential it gives you whiplash. Ghost game is not the only recent anime or story coming from there with these features. It might be confirmation bias but I wonder what's going on in this industry. SO much good visual, design, acting and music talent and then the story is like weellll... My theory is ghost game was written by AI and humans went with it and did the best they could with what they were given.

anyone else got a huge smile on their face when Gammamon had that smug smile on his face before he started explaining the rules to Gulus or was that just me?

Part of me wants to believe they will do long term storytelling with this big endbringer thing.... but somehow i doubt they will ever revisit this idea :P

Yeah, no, this series was a failure. Lazy conclusion just to leave it open ended like that was just insulting to actual plot. I guessed "misunderstanding" but not on purpose. However, I did guess the transfer would be shrugged off, which was the last nail I'm just dumbfounded 😮‍💨😒

78 weeks and the show is over. I came across those who watched GG recently and they said they stopped watching it as it brought good concepts but didn’t go anywhere with it so they dropped the show. The finale addresses some but in a very fast pace. I can say I was somewhat satisfied (like the great animation and facial expressions) but I still had issues due to how the series literally wrote a contract to prioritize episodic aspects which made the writer not give enough leeway to the serialized aspects of the show. MoonMilleniummon is something many people will never get over, not to mention Matadormon, Lilithmon, Yuto, Digitamamon, etc. Also wanted to see Arcturusmon and Proximamon but whatever. I rate it a 5/10. I prefer Tamers, Savers and Appmon over this but it’s better than Adventure 2020.

. . . . . Look im a black sheep when it comes to digimon My favorites were frontiers and xros wars Loved them and still do i love all the series Minus data squad But this? This? Jesus almighty i didn't even watch this and i feel slideded This is just.... I don't even have words im in shocked. Im definitely not excited for what's next because after gg im not exactly happy for whats next and now that this is done the be is now counting down its days

Gulus: DEVOUR or be DEVOURED Siriusmon: Bet. *proceeds to devour a horrified Gulus in a very horrifying way* But in all seriousness, this making me question how many other Digimon with shield faces can do that. Omegamon? Dukemon? Impredramon FIghting Mode?

I'm not gonna lie, I feel like the ending should have been done during the mid point of the series. Gulus really didn't feel like a final villain. Especially since they seem to hint a bigger threat. Everything else in the review basically hit the nail on the head.

I cannot comprehend having a 60+ episode series in which you sprinkle in a number of ongoing mysteries, and then making the conscious decision to not actually address any of them until the final three episodes. I liked Ghost Game initially and watched it for a while, but my issue with it was that it set itself up in such a manner that a serialized storyline would have been the most satisfying and then actively refused to move away from episodic storylines until it literally didn't have any time left

Ya know what? I'm with it. This is goofy af and while I don't want endings like this all the time, I'm good with it every now and again.

Hey waitaminute. At the end of the day, Bokomon didn't lie about Hiro & friends becoming the bridge of both worlds! And Piccolomon didn't lie about Gammamon being cool in the future. He swallowed Gulus and now Gamma became part of the pioneer people who became the bridge between real world & digital world! 😁 Also, turns out the "Ghost Game" actually refers to Quantumon's method who kept sending digimons (aka. hologram ghosts) to the real world and then cashing in on data. That actually makes sense 😌 Humans & digimons working together to create an Ark-like world to escape certain doom sounds really grand 😮. Much grander & more ambitious than the end of *02* actually. I would *love* to see a continuation maybe a century in the future where people & digimons are already living together in harmony within this Ark-world. We can have a better & more expansive version of Saver with *much* better animation. Imagine that! 🤤

Wait... what happened to Piximon's time travel? I was sure he would pop-up during the final battle.

Did I enjoy watching lots of episodes of Ghost Game? Yes...... Does it have the weakest story of any digimon anime to date? Yes. Does it have any kind of satisfying pay off at all? No. This series had so much potential and it was complete squandered. GulusGammamon was arguably one of if not the most interesting villains in all of Digimon and the "pay off" to his appearances was to simply get absorbed back into Gammamon...... and them randomly reveal "Oh by the way I'm an alien"....... how incredibly fucking stupid....... this ending was trash. So much potential and really loved the dark tone of the show but in the end the only digimon anime I would rank lower than Ghost Game is Young Hunters. (I hate young hunters) The squandered potential of this show has left a really bad taste in my mouth. Also, Diribitmon and Amphimon literally never do anything and that was trash.

I feel like the biggest problem with the finale is that they took 2-3 episodes of the story and cramped them into a finale. So much was explained so quickly with little time to properly process. Overall, I just wanna say that I love Ghost Game and it is one of my top seasons, cause there are still stories I considered the best in the franchise. But initially, I even ranked it as my favorite but it, unfortunately, fell off that title cause, I can't deny its shortcomings, especially how the finale turn out. While I don't have solid evidence of that, GG feels like a show that over time got into a conflict of creative differences. Either they wanted to fully episodic show but they added an ongoing plot out of obligation OR they did wanted to make it more story-driven but they were mandated to primarily focus on episodic stuff. Or again, this might have been what they wanted but didn't pan out right. Again, I still like the show but it's really disappointing that it really did not stick the landing.

Kinda reminds me how in Xros Wars/Fusions Season 1, where it's episodic with occasional story progression, but the last 2 episodes are all story and a new form.

It's always nice to see your Digimon reviews as you're very technical in many ways be it with the plot or animation! Though, I'll be leaving my unpopular opinion here.. I had fun watching the series! They came up with new ideas and I loved all of the moments the characters had.. Maybe it's because I don't really ask for much, but I think people would be happier if they made a second season, or if they took longer to complete the series.. I mean, I'd love that regardless. It was a fun journey and I'm glad I could share it with someone! Also.. Angoramon is always gonna be in my heart, I already miss my bb ;;

This was truly the ending of all time.

A decent (not bad) ending in my opinion, and full with connections and easter eggs. Besides the rushed and anticlimactic revelation, at least they tied up most of the loose ends. The part when Hiro helped Gammamon regain itself was heartwarming, the whole sequence has some Hosoda directing style vibe, especially the key to bring back Gammamon's conscious wasn't just "partners", but a unique and special bond as "brothers". And I believe what makes Gulus yields was because he acknowledge Gammamon's strength, determine, and bond with Hiro, and he want it as well; bit of similar with Angemon and Devimon's relationship in the reboot 2020, how they fighting over body at first, and finally working together to stop the "Great Catastrophe". The "space" talk could be the most bizarre revelation in the whole digimon universe, but bits of it serves as a homage from Ultraman, and we all knew it was Gammamon's design inspiration, so seems reasonable in some way. Yet I still got mixed feeling with Quantumon's role, she was like OG's Homeostasis who gain a digimon form, but not sure if she possesses the ability to help other Digimon to digivolve through Bracelet like Culumon. I agree with Hiro and others, no one has the right to treat digimon and human life as "game", bit like Homeostasis who wants peace in digital world by any means necessary. Biggest disappointment was no Arcturusmon or Proximamon (Seriously! then what was the reason to released their design on Vital Bracelet BE?) And BlackTailmon and Black Digimons' role explained in all this, no Hellos or actions for any of them, and just left like that (like come on!). Still, they opened a new opportunity and gateway between two (or three) worlds, glad to see humans and digimons coexist together at the end, and noticed Meicrackmon was still "stalking" Riku. This is something that OG's Taichi want to see, and now trio also became the "diplomats", imagine if they get to meet each other through corssover one day. We still got "infinite possibility", so who knows? Finally, I am going to miss you Ghost Game, until next time!

Not gonna lie that ending went straight to looney town because by God it got incredibly silly Still one silver lining for me is that I guess GulusGammamon KIIINDA was a anti hero sooooorta, even if the reason for this (the endbringer) is the biggest asspull ever

What a weird and wild ride, at least we got some cool fights.

It was on my bingo card “Japan not hitting the ending”

I feel like there are too many things that still need to happen like gulusgammamon is an alien from another planet? I'd like to see THAT backstory even more now and how Hiros dad found and changed him cuz it looked like we were gonna get some gammamon backstory finally,also I would have liked the gulus&gammamon fight to have happened WAY earlier so that when they did face the big bad or whatever we'd get a DNA evolution of the two or something I just feel it was alot of fillers that amounted to nothing an when we finally got plot that added to the story it was like 5 eps and then a series finale out of nowhere I at least hope they make a sequel to this in the future

I like how Adventure 2020 ended on a solid note despite being a garbage fire while Ghost Game despite being far better written ends on the equivalent of the YGO GX season 2 satellite being blown up in terms of insanity.

This series NEEDS a reboot. One that is Not episodic and clunkily written, but seriously planned out and carefully handled. I am very unhappy with this ending and their lackluster attempt at explaining anything.

100% agree with you, would have loved the fight with gulus to happen way way earlier, and the spinoff with the enemy of gulus and with Quantumon being similar to proffesor bokomon might have been interesting season. but the whole nation building thing was SO RANDOM. fun ride either way. the storytelling screamed "WE MADE THINGS UP AS WE GO" but the characters the animation the monster of the week stories were all beautiful, they just needed someone to cook up better pacing for Gulus and Quantumon.

It was awful. The only redeeming thing was the two minute “all Gammas” fight. The last 10 minutes were just head spinning nonsense. The whole exposition part usually would have made up an entire episode. The “final boss is done in 10 minutes and then there’s a 10-minute epilogue” tactic is often used in 12-episode series that are almost guaranteed to not be continued and typically work as manga advertisements…but for a nearly 70-episode series?!?

I mean, I know I'm partially to blame for expecting Tamers level quality from a MotW series aimed towards TikTok kids, but they really did just fuck around for 4/5 of the episodes just to dump everything on the final remaining ones, Goddamn.

This show did reveal a weird twist in the end that was unexpected. Humans and Digimon just jumping ship from Earth to another world that Quantumon made, it’s like “welp, we tried” in living the best of life on earth just to live a totally alien and strange and bizarre world that is neither the digital world or Earth. But I don’t think this series isn’t done being that it had ended on a cliffhanger seldom on a happy note after dozens of apocalyptic events happened almost every episode. Quantumon does seem to be side with Hiro and Gammamon on episode 67, but that could change entirely on the next season, even within the 1000 year timespan before the Earth is destroyed.

Gulus: "I came from space." Me: "Well, duh. Your whole line is named after stars"

Siriusmon with actual hands was cursed af. 💀

So basically they resolved everything by talking,,,,,, in appli monsters haru had to let his best friend get killed I miss the old times

Honestly, that whole plot point of the "villain" sending digimon to gather an undrrstanding of things such as emotions feels like it is ripped straight from Avesta of Black and White with its main character.

Ghost Game legit reminds me of an M Night Shyamalan movie: Lots of build up; zero payoff.

Gulus' planet was devoured so it will get strong enough to devour the devourer. This gave me strong Unicron vs. Cybertron vibes for some reason.

This episode was wild as hell , it felt like it was at 1.5x speed for half of it's duration and I freaking love it.

The end bringer just seems to be something related to a star . It would make sense, based on the graphic and the astronomy theme you could apply to Gammamon. Gamma for Gamma Ray bursts, which can potentially wipe out life on worlds. Then you have Sirius and Regulus are also both stars in constellations.

I’m so disappointed that Arcturusmon and Proximamon didn’t show up

So basically tai's 02 ending

Animorph fans might get this when i say that this episode of Ghost Game has a lot of The Conclusion vibes: the way it ends with even more questions than it answered, the way it unites the allied factions in an official capacity but then heralds the coming of a greater, more all-devouring force/evil and then just cuts off the story there. The difference is that while the Animorphs series does truly end there, Digimon as a franchise does not - and the way i see it, there's only two outcomes; either a Ghost Game movie comes out at some point and expands on what they've done here, or they just cut it off here and move on with a next season / alternate universe as they've always done (now that i think about it, it's also very reminiscent of the Wrath ending of Digimon Survive). And while hard to fathom from an intra-show perspective, that, i think, is the overarching subtext and point of Digimon: It's many different universes, all telling one story.

This series kept teasing us with no actual payoff. Heck, even in the last EP they still teased us with the Endbringer. I understood that the story choice was like this because they went with MotW style so the ending of each episode had to have minimal impact on the overall story (except the necessary ones like evolution or this final arc). They left many things open-ended so that they had rooms to wiggle around when they had new ideas, which, unfortunately, never came to fruition. Ghost Game was a mess, but a unique and highly appreciated one. It tried to be different, and though it failed to live up to its potential, we still had been graced by the cutest Digimon to ever walk this Earth. Though we won't have Gammamon's weekly baby energy anymore, I'll make sure to come back to this series once in a while for him.

So overall this show was enjoyable, it had plenty of high points where you would get hyped and of course plenty of low points that would make you say “really?” But honestly I’m glad we’ve reached the end and wouldn’t be opposed to getting some kind of continuation just to explain this new endbringer threat and new country plot(mostly because I want to see proximamon).
