We're back for some more Digital World adventures in the calm before the approaching storm. This week it's time for reuniting and deuniting with Calumon, the obligatory Orochi myth, Shibumi info dumps, and a fun romp with Antylamon. And lots of milkshakes.

We have a listener topic about side tamers, Jeff rants about the show's poorly communicated stakes, Ashley explores the relationship between belief and empathy, and we all take comfort in Ryo's absence.
