Works been crazy so I haven’t had enough time to put into these translations. It’s calmed down finally to where I can start tackling my backlog. My posts will be a little irregular until I catch up, and I apologize in advanced. Once I catch up, I’ll work on getting a set schedule. Make sure you always support the original, but I would appreciate some love as well. If you enjoy these translations, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. Thanks!
Eiji and Leon continue to catch up. Eiji orders more coffee, and the Digimon continues to bicker playfully. A few more people enter and exit the café as the two old friends grow more comfortable in their conversation.
Hatsune enters the café, neatly dressed in her receptionist’s uniform. The bronze name tag on her lapel glistens under the warm light. The cafe is busier than when the two boys arrived, but it isn’t the afternoon rush yet. Hatsune walks towards an empty seat to wait for her order but stops when she notices Leon and Eiji. She makes her way towards their table, her heels leaving a rhythmic echo with each step. “So you’re hanging out with degenerate code crackers now Leon?” she asks in a playful, mocking tone.
The two turn to Hastune. They were so caught up in their conversation, that they hadn’t noticed her approach.
Leon stands to greet her. “Someone’s got to keep these low-life code crackers in line.” He laughs as he gives her a friendly hug.
Eiji clutches his chest, miming pain. “You two hurt me.” Eiji goes for a hug, but Hatsune stops him with a handshake. Eiji takes it and smiles. “What’s so bad about Code Crackers?”
“They’re unethical immoral losers who think they can do whatever they want because they can,” Hatsune snipes.
“Aw? We’re not all bad. Let me prove it to you sometime?” Eiji asks, trying his best to sound suave and cool like the guys in the movies.
“No I’m okay, I’ll take your word for it.” She flashes Eiji a mocking smile.
Pulsemon teleports to the edge of the table closest to Eiji. It kicks its feet over the edge and smiles devilishly. A few sparks flash from his yellow skin. “Oooh! A swing and a miss! Better luck next time bud.” Leon starts laughing, his voice filling the Cafe. Hatsune does her best to hold back her laugh, but some leaks involuntarily. Eiji chuckles as he raises his middle finger towards Pulsemon. Pulsemon sticks its tongue out as it raises both middle fingers in response.
“Why don’t you join us Hatsune?” Leon says, pointing towards an empty chair.
“Thanks, but I have to go finish up some errands. I only came in for some coffee. Next time.”
“Promise?” Eiji asks enthusiastically.
“Bye Eiji. It was nice seeing you, Leon.” She walks to pick up her order and leaves the cafe.
Pulsemon appears on his shoulder. “That’s strike two buddy.” Eiji swipes at Pulsemon. His hand passes through Pulsemon’s hologram, distorting it for a moment.
“You’re just a hater,” Eiji says. “Did you not see those sparks between us? She likes me.” Eiji takes his seat and sips at water in front of him.
“You’re delusional,” Loogamon chimes in.
Eiji stops sipping and turns to his partner. “Oh Loogamon, I forgot you were here.”
“Ha. Ha.” Loogamon is not amused.
Eiji turns back to Leon. “Are code crackers really that unpopular?”
“I mean,” Leon starts as he tries to find the words. “Code crackers tend to be weirdos and loaners. The only difference between a code cracker and a hacker is how they use their skills.”
Eiji looks at Loogamon and Pulsemon who are making fun of Eiji. “Yeah, I’m starting to see that. But I think some of that is just ignorance.” He turns his attention back to Leon. His hands fiddle with the half-empty cup in front of him. “I’m starting to see there are lines I was crossing I didn’t know about. Digimon, the Digital World, The Sons of Chaos, it’s all a lot…bigger than I thought.”
Eiji pauses as Pulsemon makes a bad impression of Eiji. “Let me prove it to you sometime Hatsune. I love you!” It makes kissing noises as Loogamon howls with laughter.
“I used to think Digimon were just tools you used for hacking, but they have thoughts and lives. They can make friends and memories.” He turns to the two Digimon whose rivalry seems to have simmered away.
“So what is Loogamon to you now?” Leon asks.
“He’s my friend. Partner for life!” Eiji responds without hesitation.
“Good. You haven’t completely sold your soul to the Sons of Chaos.”
“What do you mean?”
“Look, there’s no easy way to say this. You need to quit code cracking and the Sons of Chaos. You gotta get out before it’s too late.”
Eiji wasn’t surprised by Leon’s remarks. He was expecting the topic to come up sooner or later. “It’s not gunna happen,” he replies bluntly. ” I can’t quit. I don’t have the same luxuries you do for it to be an option.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I only started code cracking because it was the only way I could make money. I’m 19 with a high school degree. If I quit now, I’ll be working a crappy job for crappy pay. I have responsibilities now, and that kind of job isn’t going to cut it.”
“Why don’t you go to college?”
“Where? Tokyo Electrical? I’ve thought about it.”
“Did…something happen?” Leons becomes concerned as he watches Eiji’s expression saden.
“Yeah…Flight 626.”
An awkward silence chokes the table.
“Is that..Is that how you lost your parents?”
Eiji nods as he fiddles with the cup in front of him. “In an act of Digimon terrorism…” His voice trails off as he looks down at his cup. “They were going to celebrate their anniversary in America. It was a big trip…” Eiji’s voice breaks as he tries to fight back tears. He clears his throat. “I was all alone. Everything was gone. I had no job. No money. I had to sell the house. College wasn’t an option anymore.”
“You could apply for scholarships.”
Eiji looks up at his old friend. “After my parents died, I couldn’t do much of anything. I was too devastated to function. The last thing on my mind was school. I needed money.”
“But how could you become a code cracker? How can you still be a code cracker after what they did to your parents?”
“I’m not the same as those monsters. I’m not here to kill innocent people or abuse Digimon.” Eiji’s voice is calm. “I was in it to make money. I am not proud of it, but I needed to eat. But Professor Ryusenji gave me purposes. A reason to be proud of the work I do. It’s been a while since I’ve felt much of anything.”
“What does the professor have you doing?”
There is a moment of silence as Eiji debates telling Leon everything. “I can’t say.”
“Well, I have my guesses. Eiji…”
“Look man. Let’s just keep our work lives separate. It was nice catching up, but I don’t want to ruin it with politics.”
“It’s time Eiji,” Loogamon interjects, perking up in his seat.
“Right. Sorry to leave it like this, but I have an appointment with the professor.” Eiji gets up from the table.
“With the professor?”
“Yeah. Code cracker stuff. Good luck with school or whatever. I’ll see you around. Let’s grab a drink next time, but maybe skip all the heavy stuff.” Eiji and Loogamon turn to leave.
“Wait!” Pulsemon says as he stands from his seat and suddenly appears in front of Loogamon. “Here, this is for you.” Pulsemon hands Loogamon a small digital cube.
“What is it?” Loogamon asks as it grabs the cube from Pulsemon’s hand.
“It’s a present!” Pulsemon smiles and flashes to its spot at the edge of the table. Its feet kick wildly below as it waves at the pair as they leave the café.

There is a lot to be excited about, especially if you are a collector. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends!
Adventure Box 2
This set will be for those who are interested in the alt art Memory boost promo. The promos look great, and I wouldn’t mind a few of the figures as well. There hasn’t been news on on what the figures will be, but if they are anything like the first box, they will be nice. I have the cute little Tentamon I pulled from the last set sitting my desk. The box will be $19.99 which is a pretty good deal for what you get. I just hope that it will be easy to pick up a play set of each color memory boost.
Resurgence Booster Spoilers
I am going to start the spoilers with my favorite card of the set so far. I love purple, and Digimon has constantly put the best Digimon and art in its line up. This is my personal opinion based on the aesthetics alone of course. I love the pose, the glow in its eyes and fire, and the art style. This card alone is enough to want me to buy into this set.
This is my favorite Gammamon. I love the corlos and Gammamon is so cute in this!
Suriusmon is so sick! I love the colors and the pose. This is going to look sick in the binder. You get some solid removal and you get to untap?! Say no more.
I prefer this version of Amphimon. It reminds me of a classic comic book cover. I love the colors, the silhouette in the back, and the pose. It has some some cool removal, retrieval and it can prevent an attack!
I love the Agoramon line here because the art style reminds me of paintings you would see in a kids book. Its cute, fun, and it gives me some Peter Rabbit vibes that I am here for.
BlackGatomon Uver is so cute!
Regionals Promo
The promo for October tournaments is WarGremon and it looks sick! If you are a fan of the Greymon line, you should at least try to participate at regionals. I wish I could at least make time for locals. If you are interested in participating in regional, check the official page for tournaments in your region.
That will do it for this weeks updates. Make sure you do the things, see you next week!
Make sure you read read the original release, and I’ll do my best to get my version out on Monday. If you enjoy my work, please like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!
Eiji and Leon walk towards the Café. An awkward eagerness hangs over each step as they search for the right way to initiate conversation. Their footsteps echo off the empty corridor, and the news plays quietly somewhere behind them. The words have become unintelligible, but both knew it was about the attack on Nation X.
“It’s been a while,” Eiji finally says, breaking the silence.
“Since middle school,” Leon nods. They share a warm awkward smile between them. “It’s good to see you, man,”
“Yeah. You got a lot taller, and buff!” Eiji flexes his arm.
Leon chuckles, “Yeah, I grew up.”
Leon and Eiji swipe their IDs to get into the Café. The place is mostly empty, with only a couple patrons enjoying a small afternoon snack. The boys are hit with the rush of freshly ground coffee, but there is a faint hint of vanilla mixed somewhere in its composition. Soft jazz fill the space left behind the espresso machine and coffee grinder. The two friends find a seat in the most secluded part of the cafe.
“I can’t believe you found my information so quickly,” Eiji says as he takes a sip from his iced drink. “So you’re a big-shot hacker now?”
Leon smirks. “It wasn’t too difficult. But I was surprised to see you moved.”
Eiji is silent for a moment. There is a moment of sadness in his expression, but he shakes it off almost as quickly as it appears. He clears his throat. “Yeah…I live on my own now. Been living alone for a while now.”
“Me too. Since I got back to Japan actually. I have a place in Denrin.” Leon takes a sip of his coffee. “So you work for Professor Ryusenji now? How’s that going?”
“Oh, it’s great! The professor is a little odd, but he’s good people. He got me this steady job, with a decent paycheck!”
“And you’re also a famous Code Cracker!” Loen laughs.
“Not yet, but we will be!” Eiji winks playfully.
“Oh that’s right, you got a partner now too.” Leon pulls out a keychain with a small LCD screen on one side. The pixel sprite version of Pulsemon bounces in place. Leon dangles the keychain off his middle finger and holds it in front of Eiji. The keychain spins slowly from its chain. “You remember Pulsemon? He’s been with me since we were kids!”
Eiji bursts out laughing. “I always thought it was a fancy Tomagachi!”
Leon laughs as he scoops up the keychain and presses the hologram button. Pulsemon suddenly appears on the empty chair next to Leon. His body gives off a faint yellow glow to the furniture around him, and small sparks occasionally ark over its body. Pulsemon vibrates impatiently. His feet kick wildly over the edge of the seat.
“Oh right, we can do that here.” Eiji raises his wrist and begins scrolling through the settings of his digilinker. Loogamon’s hologram appears next to Eiji. The fur down his back stands angrily as he turns his attention to Pulsemon. He lets out a growl as his body tenses. Pulsemon smirks as he jumps up on his chair, readying himself.
“Enough!” Both Eiji and Leon say in unison.
“Loogamon, chill. That’s my friend.”
“Pulsemon, behave!”
Loogamon sits reluctantly and eyes the yellow Digimon suspiciously. Pulsemon sticks its tongue out the wolf.
“So the professor gave you a keychain dock?”
Leon nods. “He said I looked like someone who would be a good caretaker, and here we are.” He turns to Pulsemon and smiles.
“What’s that shiny rock on your head for? Does it come out?” Pulsemon asks mockingly as it reaches for the gem. Loogamon growls and snaps at Pulsemon’s hand. Pulsemon laughs, “Geez, someone’s touchy.”
“So you’re the Professor’s apprentice or something?” Eiji asks
“More of an assistant. The professor is a busy guy, and I grab his mail, set his appointments, stuff like that.”
“Ouch,” Eiji replies, feeling a bit fortunate. “But it’s kind of funny that we both met because of him.”
“Small world.” Leon stares at the watch around Eiji’s wrist, somewhat lost in a thought. “So how is it you came to have the latest version of the Digimon linker?”
“Isn’t it sweet?” Eiji raises his wrist to show it off. “I came to him for a job. He asked me to go catch him this rare Digimon… ModokiBatamon and gave it to me as a bonus.”
“He does like his Batamon…” Leon responds, still somewhat distracted.
Eiji nods. “He then told me about this job,” he says, motioning to Loogamon. “He wanted me to raise Loogamon for him. Pretty cool huh?”
Leon shakes his head. “It should have been me,” Leon snaps suddenly. “He should have asked me. I’m his actual student…” There is a undeniable hint of jealousy and resentment in his tone.
Shocked by his friends sudden outburst, Eiji is at a loss for words.
“We would have won if we fought you know,” Pulsemon says to Loogamon.
“What did you say you little…”
“You can barely keep your champion form! I’ve made it all the way to mega,” Pulsemon smiles as he flexes for Loogamon.
Loogamon snarls as he stands up angrily. Its tail waves furiously behind it.
“Enough Loogamon! Pulsemon has a point.” Eiji remembers their encounter with Kazuchimon. At this stage, they didn’t stand a chance against them, but both Eiji and Loogamon were determined to surpass their rivals.
“Don’t be annoying Pulsemon!” Leon regains his composure. He looks down at his drink as the soft jazz attempts to cover up the awkward silence. “Sorry, it’s just…” Leon begins. “This is a serious deal Eiji. This isn’t a game. Loogamon isn’t just some Code Cracker tool. This is a huge responsibility, and you need to be sure this is something you really want.””Eiji looks over at Loogamon. The two Digimon continue to bicker quietly. The sight puts a smile on his face. “I am taking this seriously. I took this job because I want to help Digimon. He may be a little grumpy, but Loogamon is my friend. I made him a promise, and I am going to work hard to make sure we become strong enough to protect the Digital World.”Eiji looks over at Loogamon. The two Digimon continue to bicker quietly. The sight puts a smile on his face. “I am taking this seriously. I took this job because I want to help Digimon. He may be a little grumpy, but Loogamon is my friend. I made him a promise, and I am going to work hard to make sure we become strong enough to protect the Digital World.”
Leon sits in silence for a moment as he takes in Eiji’s response. “Alright then” he extends his fist out in the familiar way they used to when they were kids, “It’s a promise!”
If you are a fan of season 2 of Digimon Adventures, Ken and Daisuke’s D-3 digivices were just put up for preorder on Premium Bandai, and they look cool. If you want a high-quality device or just want to relieve some season 2 nostalgia, definitely head over and check them out yourself. The devices will include scenes from the original anime, updated animations, a better build quality, and they feature voice-activated digivolutions!

The digivices also come with a special art card that you’ll want if you collect the card game.
Super Complete Selection Animation D-3 ver. Daisuke Motomiya (Sold Out)
This version is no longer available. The Daisuke (Davis for the Americans) D3 comes with the Veemon which has always been a personal favorite. The digivice costs $118 which seems like a lot, but the Premium Bandai quality and the added features should justify the price. Preorders end on October 22nd, or when supplies run out so make sure you preorder yours today! The D3 is expected to ship sometime in May 2024.
Obviosly the Ken Ichijouji’s D-3 comes with the Wormmon line, but it also lets you switch “Digimon Kaiser mode” and “Ken Ichijouji mode” for alternate modes of play. Ken’s D-3 also costs $118. You have until October 22nd, or supplies run out to preorder. Head over to the Premium Bandai page to reserve yours today. It is expected to ship in May 2024.
If you are a bigger fan of the V-pets, Premium Bandai is updating the classic design with color and an LCD screen that you are going to want to add to your collection. It comes in Clear and Smoke, and preorders are open till Aug 30th or until inventory runs out. Both devices cost $60 which is pretty reasonable for what you are getting. They have updated animations, updated mechanics, cute and colorful art, and they are rechargeable!
That’s it for this update. Make sure you check out Premium Bandai for any of the other IPs you might be into, but be prepared to drop some money. If you enjoy these updates, don’t forget to follow, like, subscribe, and share this with your friends.

August Store Championship Promo Cards

Back on the Sons of Chaos channel, the avatar of a cartoonish businessman stands at the door of Marvin’s private chatroom. The avatar is unkempt and dirty. He leans drunkenly against a nearby wall and watches Marvin scrolling through the Grimm news feed.
The attack on Nation X was trending throughout GriMM.
Word had it that the hacker Judge singlehandedly stopped a large-scale attack on Nation X orchestrated by the Sons of Chaos. He was not only able to destroy Nation X’s powerful Digimon, but he also outsmarted Tartarus and the Sons of Chaos.
“To what do I owe the pleasure?” Marvin asks, taking notice of the interviewer for the first time. “Come to wish me well?” His tone is playfully mocking.
“Glad to see you up so quickly. And I asume…No side effects,” a different voice says sincerely. A small fox with dragon wings and a large ruby embedded on its forehead appears near the interviewer. Its tail flicks at the air.
Dorumon, Rookie, Beast, Data
Marvin smiles. “I wouldn’t have made it back withouty you.” He reaches to Dorumon and ruffles its fur playfully.
“What about Megadramon… Er Aidramon?”
“Luckily,” Marvin stops petting Dorumon and stands to finish his explanation, “there was no heavy damage to the Digicore. It’s currently undergoing repairs and will probably be out of commission for a while.”
“That was close Marvin. We could have lost you out there.” There was concern in the Digimon’s tone.
Marvin grimaced at the thought. “That kid you scouted saved me.” Marvin runs his fingers through his dreadlocks. “I can’t believe I let a hacker surprise me like that. I’m getting old man.” He lets out a nervous chuckle. “Maybe I should plan for an early retirement.”
Dorumon ignores the joke. “We have to do something about Judge. We’re exploring options for retaliation”
Marvin shakes his head and crosses his arms. “You mess with Leon and we’ll have the Americans all over us. We have to think this through.”
“He attacked first!” Dorumon shoots back, its voice almost a growl. “This is an insult to us and what we stand for. We can’t let this slide.” The fur down its back stands angrily. Its tail flails behind it.
“He’s right,” the interviewer speaks up for the first time. His voice is stern and gruff. “We can’t let this go.” The interviewer drops his disguise. Tartarus stands before Marlin with a bored look on his face. He is neatly dressed and well-kempt. He has a scar over his right eye and stands taller than Marvin.
“So what then? We go to war? The big war you…both have been planning?” Marvin doesn’t hide his frustration.
Tartarus looks at his friend pensively for a moment before moving to a nearby couch to sit. He spreads himself out comfortably and turns his attention up to Marvin. “I’ll admit, losing the Machinedramon was a….setback, but the pieces have fallen into place. This can still work.”
“Loogarmon, you mean. And Eiji. Those pieces?”
“What do you think of them by the way? Good huh?” Tartarus smirks as he leans forward, eager for Marvin’s answer.
Marvin sighs. “The kid surprised me,” Marvin says, taking the seat opposite of Tartarus. “At first I thought he was just another cocky code cracker, all-flash, and no substance. But he did good. He doesn’t get a big head and listens to directions. He’s got good instincts too.” Marvin starts to relax in his chair. “and he didn’t leave me behind. I like him.”
Dorumon gives lets out a smug smirk.
“His partner is still just at champion level though.” Marvin sounds concerned.
“He’s young, he’s got room to grow.” Tartarus leans back in his seat and folds his hands behind his head. “I’ve got something to help him grow a little faster.”
“You don’t mean…”
“We don’t know the full extent of Eiji’s power yet,” Tartarus begins as he brings up Eiji and Leon’s profiles on a virtual monitor. “We can’t rely on him until we know the extent of that power. We have to push him. We have to know that he is down for the cause and that he will stick with us to the bitter end.” Tartarus pauses for a moment to examine Marvin’s reaction. “Are you still with us?” He asks grimly.
“Of course I am.”
“Nice work Leon,” Pulsemon says, greeting his partner as he wakes from the testing pod. Leon sits up, taking off the helmet used to measure his vitals. His blond hair is matted from the sweat.
Pulsemon begins running around the lab impatiently.
“You too Pulsemon,” Leon says softly as he stands up from the pod and walks over to a nearby monitor. “We set a new record,” Leon remarks with excitement as he reads over the results of their endurance test.
Pulsemon nods eagerly. “We’re unstoppable! It’s all because they put you in that diaper.” It snickers at its own joke.
“Shut up!” Leon can’t help to laugh along with his oldest friend.
“Phenomenal,” a voice says over the intercom.
Character design/illustration illustrator: malo
Professor Ryusenji stands on the other side of the observation window with a large smile.
“I didn’t realize you were here!” Leon bows his head slightly in an attempt to hide the sudden flash of redness on his face.
“Ryu-booo!” Pulsmon chirps, waving eagerly. “Did you see?! Did you see?!”
“Pulsemon my friend! You did such an amazing job!” the professor responds, matching Pulsemon’s energy. “And you too Leon.”
“Thank you, professor.” Pulsemon continues to fidget through the room.
“To think, the lone hacker judge taking out a whole nation, the Sons of Chaos, and a Machinedramon? America must be so proud.”
“It was now or never,” Leon says solemnly. “They had to pay for what they did. For killing all those people…” Leon pauses for a moment. “I had to do it, for myself. It was the only way I could move forward as a hacker.”
The professor nods and gives a proud smile. “I would have never guessed you would grow up to be so strong.”
Leon moved to Japan in elementary school. His dad worked as an assistant professor at the Tokyo University of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He would often take Leon along to work with him.
“You look like someone who is good at taking care of things,” the professor said to Leon one day. He crouches down to bring himself closer to Leon. He hands him a small screen with the pixel art Digitama on it. “I bet you’d be great at raising it with love and care. I’m giving this to you, can I trust you?”
Leon nods his head as he looks down at the small device and studied the strange video it plays. The small egg occasionally shakes.
“This isn’t a game,” the professor continues his explanation. “This is a Digimon, it’s alive and it exists in the Digital world.” The professor goes on to explain the existence of Digimon and the importance of this task.
Leon promises to take care of his Digimon. From that day on, Leon and Pulsemon became inseparable. Together they grew stronger, setting and surpassing limits until they were as part of the DDL as the professor was.
Leon walks out through the security gate and into the lobby. TV displays throughout the room report on the recent attack on Nation X. He sees Eiji sitting across the room, his head buried in his phone as he scrolls slowly through the day’s feed.
“Eiji!” Leon shouts, waving to get his attention. His voice echoes through the lobby. Eiji lifts his head and finds Leon walking towards him. He waves back as the memories from elementary start rushing back.
This week we got to see more of the full art gold cards for the Versus Royal Knights set and they look so good! I might need to just buy the singles for these because they are going to look so good in the binder. The set is out now so make sure you pick yours up from your LGS, or TCG Player if you don’t have one. We also got to see the rest of the alt art cards that will be included in the Beezlemon Binder. Preorders are still open over on Premium Bandai.
