Episode recap for *Oikawa's Shame*.

Synopsis

This section of the article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

After the events of the last episode, the Digidestined decide to keep watch at Highton View Terrace; Oikawa will attempt to enter the Digital World from here, not knowing that the gate was sealed by BlackWarGreymon with the last of his strength after being mortally wounded by the entity within Oikawa. The children infected with the Dark Spores begin gathering, having been summoned by the villain. Above both groups, Oikawa watches in amusement with Mummymon and Arukenimon.

Temporarily bothered by Izzy's mother, the Digidestined immediately turn around to see Oikawa arrive with a laptop. He activates a program, showing the card method Myotismon used to get to the Real World last season; he has the children chant their desire to go to the Digital World, powering the program. Arukenimon and Mummymon guard him; Oikawa cries with joy, wishing that he could have brought his friend Hiroki with him. A door opens, much to everyone's surprise, Davis, Yolei, Ken, Cody, Kari, and T.K. run in after them, leaving Matt, Izzy, and Joe behind.

The portal opens in a dark place filled with flowers. The children begin panicking. Oikawa notices they are in a strange place filled with strange things. Mummymon and Arukenimon are knocked back by the Digidestined's Champion Level Digimon. Everyone notices how upset Oikawa is, wondering what went wrong. A mouth appears in the air, taunting Oikawa in his own voice; it reveals that it's been using him as a host for its data since three years ago. Gatomon isn't fooled; it's a voice she knows from her nightmares - Myotismon, who the Digi-Destined presumed dead after being destroyed in his Mega form of VenomMyotismon three years ago!

A blue light escapes Oikawa, becoming a double of him; the Dark Spores are actually batteries to power Myotismon's rebirth into a new form. Arukenimon and Mummymon, though shocked, follow Myotismon's orders to keep the Digidestined back while he harvests the Dark Spores. With his task complete, Myotismon begins taking his new form - MaloMyotismon - which is just as strong as VenomMyotismon, but just as smart as his Ultimate form. He then begins torturing Arukenimon to test his powers, reading her mind to learn what she fears will happen. He then slays her, granting her wish to be as far away from him as possible. Mummymon futilely fights back, enraged and heartbroken to have his love taken away from him; however, he is simply melted by a Crimson Mist attack.

Enraged, Davis orders ExVeemon to charge, while the rest of the Digi-Destined are too scared of losing their friends to make a move after witnessing the heartless deaths of MaloMyotismon's henchmen at his own hands.

Quotes

Tai: "Be very quiet, Agumon. We can't let her know we're here."
Agumon: "I am being very quiet."
Tai: "Well, you're not being very invisible. Get back here."
Agumon: "Hmph! Being a spy would be easier if we didn't have to do so much spying."

-Tai and Agumon, spies in-training.

Oikawa: "Am I going crazy or is my voice coming out of that mouth?"
Mysterious voice: "A bit of both I think."

—Oikawa's dark heart is out on his sleeve.

Gatomon: *gasp* "That voice!"
Kari: "What?"
Gatomon: "I still hear that voice in my nightmares: Myotismon!"
Kari: *gasp*
Arukenimon and Mummymon: "Huh?" *gasp*
Myotismon: "Muhahahahahahaaa!!"
Angemon: "Myotismon... But how can that be?"
Kari: "Myotismon?"
Gatomon: "Yes!"
Myotismon: "I'm not surprised that you saw through me, my old pet."

—He's baaaaaaack.

Myotismon: "Allow me to reveal...myself!" *grunts* "Ya!"
Davis & Co.: *gasp*
Davis: "Look, he's--"
Cody: "He's changing!"
T.K.: "But into Myotismon or VenomMyotismon?"
Myotismon: "Actually...you can call me MaloMyotismon!"
Davis & Co.: *gasp*

—Myotismon finally reveals his true identity.

Other notes

Continuity errors

The Brazilian dub of this episode doesn't seem able to figure out what MaloMyotismon's name should be. He is "Malon Yotismon" in the episode title, "MaloMyotismon" according to the DigiDestined, "Myotismon" to Gatomon, and "BelialVamdemon" to himself. Even worse, the Digimon Analyzer claims that MaloMyotismon evolved from BelialVamdemon.
In "The Battle for Earth", Kari waves goodbye to her parents when going to the Digital World, the DigiDestined float in a single row, Joe and Gomamon are on Tai's left side, and the rainbow bridge is computer-animated. However, in Oikawa's flashback Kari is not waving, the DigiDestined float in two rows, Joe and Gomamon are on Tai's right side, and the rainbow bridge is traditionally animated.

Animation errors

When Izzy's mother leaves, Gatomon's nose appears to be missing.
In a shot after Oikawa cries, the purple tip of Gatomon's right ear is colored white.
In the English Dub, Gatomon is given a dramatic pause before revealing Myotismon is the real villain, but her mouth continues to move.

Dubbing changes

Originally, the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that Izzy's mother offered the DigiDestined were riceballs.
In the English, French, Dutch, Polish, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Hebrew dubs, Oikawa identifies the children as the DigiDestined when he sees them in his flashback as they returned to the Digital World to fight the Dark Masters.
Originally, MaloMyotismon makes no sound when he grabs Arukenimon. In the dub, he viciously growls when he grabs her.

Digimon references

When opening the gate, Oikawa uses a card method similar to that used by the DigiDestined in the Digimon Adventure episode It's All In The Cards. The only difference here is that, where Tai decided to place the Gomamon card, Oikawa places the Agumon card instead (perhaps under the influence of Myotismon, who's also been seen using the card method). The Gateway To Home This could very well be what causes the gate to lead to another world, rather than BlackWarGreymon's sealing of the gate, which may have had no influence at all.

Miscellaneous trivia

MaloMyotismon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.

The kids show up at [[Highton View Terrace]] along with Oikawa, {{c|Mummymon|a}}, and {{c|Arukenimon|a}}. Ken then asks why he was chosen to hold the [[Dark Spor]]e and to be the Digimon Emperor, Oikawa says the his sadness was easy to manipulate and the [[Control Spire]]s were used to change the borders of the {{c|Digital World|a}}, weakening it, so that he can enter it himself. The kids and Oikawa then start singing a very weird song as the [[Digital Gate]] opens. The new kids rush into the gate as it closes. But are they in the Digi-World? They seem to be in a world where their desire comes true. A big mouth resembling a vampire appears and reveals that he possessed Oikawa four years ago (when Hiroki died), in a Flashback he had a picture of Hiroki to the Sky and crying out, a mist appeared, and he saw Tai, Koromon, Tsunomon, Motimon, Izzy, Matt, Sora, Yokomon, T.K., Kari, Tokomon, Salamon, Gomamon, Mimi, Palmon and Joe return to the digital world, he wanted to go with them and shouted out but they didn't hear because he far away in the Harbor, (due to the Dark Masters battles), (when the original Digidestined [[The Battle for Earth|returned to battle the Dark Masters]]) as he was in need of a host. He turns out to be [[Myotismon (Adventure)|Myotismon]]. Myotismon separates from Oikawa in an identical form to him, harvests the kids' Dark Spores, and is reborn as [[MaloMyotismon]]. MaloMyotismon tortures and kills Arukenimon. Mummymon tries to avenge her but he kills him as well. Horrified the kids stay where they are until Davis and Ex-Veemon enter into the battle!-->
