It’s the battle of a century, the showdown you’ve been waiting for, the clash you’ve been crying over, the skirmish not for the squeamish, the crisis of consequence, the conflict to commemorate, the epic classic of biker versus feudal monarchy!

We’re joined by Jacob Hope Chapman of Anime News Network to break down these cheery episodes. We discuss the impact of Leomon’s death (and how it differs in the original Japanese version), Beelzemon’s character arc, and how Megidramon compares to SkullGreymon.
