A new Digimon appears in the subway, and Henry and Rika engage it in battle. But it seems similar to Mihiramon in strange ways...
Synopsis[]
Takato is depressed after Henry and Rika have previous commitments and can't go Digimon patrolling, but he feels better when he goes with Guilmon to play with his school friends. But soon the snake Deva Digimon, Sandiramon, attacks leaving Rika and Henry to fight it on their own, until Impmon helps out and tells Takato they need him. Luckily, the battle is taking place right under the park and Takato and Guilmon, armed with a Power Modify Card from Kazu, tunnel down to join the battle. Guilmon digivolves to Growlmon and after the others injure Sandiramon, Takato uses the Card to cause Growlmon to blast Sandiramon with an extra-powerful Pyro Blaster, mortally wounding him. Before dying, Sandiramon warns that there are ten more Devas for them to face. The Tamers then take their Digimon to meet Takato's friends, who are all excited to meet them.

Sandiramon: "I am one of the twelve Devas sent by the Sovoreign ones. You may have defeated me, but my bretheren will avenge me!"
Gargomon: "Huh? Are you telling me that there are ten more of you ugly wackos coming our way?!"
Sandiramon: "Prepare yourselves to be conqured. We are the Digimon who refuse to be tamed by mere humans. We will rule your realm, and there's nothing you can do to stop us! The twelve Devas will destroy you all!"

Other notes[]
Animation errors

Dubbing changes
- The stumbling man in the subway station being escorted by the security guard, described as having food poisoning in the English version, is implied to be drunk in the Japanese version.
- When Rika's grandmother sees the Digital Field, she thinks it's smoke and starts coughing in the English version.
Real-world references
- The episode title is a reference to the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
