210. Only Eighty Points of Light

It's time to buckle in for an extra crazy long wacky roller coaster of an episode as the crew dives deep into the final arc of Adventure 02.

We discuss BlackWarGreymon's butt, cards used for Myotismon's gate, and dark spores as a puberty metaphor, and argue about Mount Fuji lakes. Jeff talks about DigiDestined privelege and the cost of amibtion, Ashley dissects the difference between dreams and wishes, and Asher highlights 02's emphasis on inheritance and influence. We also discuss each character's illusion scenario, wade through the epilogue, and evaluate the final arc as a conclusion to 02.
