Synopsis
With new found strength, the two Mega Digimon begin taking on VenomMyotismon. Things seem to be going well until VenomMyotismon is cut open to reveal a powerful energy source, which pushes the Digimon away. But at that point, the kids' digivices shoot beams of light, binding VenomMyotismon, and giving WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon a clear shot at the weakpoint - Myotismon is finally defeated. As things begin to return to normal, everyone's relieved, until the vanishing fog reveals something even stranger in the night sky. It's an upsidedown image of the familiar landmass that Izzy later identifies as the Digital World, showing that while the digidestined have been fighting Myotismon for only a few days centuries have passed in the digital world revealing that something is terribly wrong. After rescuing a plane damaged by the image in the sky, the kids decide to head back to the digital world right away to investigate and sort the problem out. Now they must face an evil that can bring forth more destruction and darkness than even Myotismon.

Continuity errors

 * In reference to Salamon, Kari says "What are we going to do? They don't allow pets in our apartment." This is not true, as the Kamiya's clearly own a pet cat called Miko.

Animation errors

 * During the fight with VenomMyotismon (English Dub), WarGreymon is supposedly thrown back by a huge rock, and he is heard grunting. However, upon closer inspection, the wing and pink sash of Angewomon are visible behind the rock.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Myotismon is defeated in this episode, though he later returns at the end of Digimon Adventure 02 as the root cause of almost all the evil faced by the new DigiDestined.
 * This episode marks the end of the Myotismon arc, and the beginning of the Dark Masters arc.
 * Cody Hida, who features in Digimon Adventure 02, is on the airplane that is attacked by Kuwagamon (though he doesn't appear).
