Piemon | DIGIMON ADVENTURE In Retrospect 

Fun fact: Piedmon is the only Dark Master who was defeated by the entirety of the Digidestined and their allies. The other 3 dark masters were beaten with fractions of the team and outright died. Piedmon was locked in another dimension. You can argue he was killed when the Gate of Destiny deleted shortly after he was blasted into it, but it’s possible that it closed the portal rather than eliminating its occupants.

LadyDevimon is the gatekeeper and bodyguard for the last dark master. There was no reason for her to appear earlier given her stated role on Izzy’s Digimon analyzer. Piedmon could’ve definitely assisted her in the fight, but her job is to protect him until he’s ready to engage. I do believe he was clapping those demonic butt cheeks on the side too, so your mistress theory makes sense as an alternative role for her.

Its scary how strong piedmon is as a villain

Piedmon was such a worthy final villain. In my opinion he came the closest to beating the Digi-destined, and it took literally the entire cast to beat him along with OP MangaAngemon. The Dark masters should’ve been the final antagonist of the first season but that’s just me.

Angewomon vs LadyDevimon, the fight that turned many boys into MEN.

Well Piedmon is more powerful since he’s a wizard-like digimon and thus has vast dark magical abillites and powers unlike his fellow Dark Masters.

I hated that we never saw Mimi and Palmöles getting obliterated by Piedmon.

Your commentary on Piemon actually has helped me make a small analysis, I think what makes him dangerous is his wit and unique abilities. However, in terms of genuine combat abilities, he is fairly inept. That doesn't downplay Andromon or Angemon, however it means that the clown is not meant for direct confrontation. In fact I'd argue that's part of why LadyDevimon was necessary, she is beyond competent in direct conflict.

Thank you for using the original japanese names in this retrospective.

Amazing video man! Have you considered doing analysis like these for Digimon Tamers?

This is one of my favorite episodes due to the drama, hype and creativity that went into the final battle. I wanna note that the writers structured this perfectly. Instead of the children facing Piedmon all at once, we get to see multiple brief battles and a final showdown. To me, this justifies Piedmon’s overall loss in a believable manner. For example,

I like how Elecmon playing the harmonica is yet another subtle example of the Digimon adopting human traits from exposure to the Children. He's gone from his more beastial nature in his introduction episode, to having some semblance of appreciation for art. It's lovely to see.

I find it pretty awesome that Chikao Ohtsuka, Piemon's seiyuu, had his role reprised by his own son Akio Ohtsuka in Digimon Survive, and the roles were pretty indistinguishable!

Sora probably has the absolute worst resolution of every single one of the original children, both within Adventure itself, and then far more egregiously in the sequels, who all screw her over in some way.

I've been looking forward to this video for ages. What a great analysis.

Finally my favorite Dark Master.

Really good analysis and critique. You may not know it, but your in depth thoughts on a children's show are a service to humanity.

Thx rusty 😇💪😎

Your channel is so underrated. I hope you get a ton more subscribers soon, because these analysis videos on Digimon really are something special <3

Are you gonna do Adventure 02 villains? I hope so.
