DA02 ep29 recap

Episode recap for Arukenimon's Tangled Web.

Synopsis[]

Dokugomon is getting ready to eat the DigiDestined while Ex-Veemon fights with Digmon and Stingmon. Ken tells Cody to contact the others since his hands are free. He emails the others, but they are in trouble too. Cody finds a thermostat and an air conditioner. Ken grabs a rock with his legs and passes it to Davis, who bicycle kicks it, turning on the air conditioner. The web breaks, and they land on a giant bed. Ex-Veemon is knocked through the ceiling and onto the bed as well. They jump off the bed and hide in a drawer. Digmon and Stingmon are trying to break their way in.

Ken comes up with the story of the moth and the bat. The moth confused the bat by mixing their sounds together. They come up with a plan to fight Arukenimon's flute playing. Yolei finds TK and Kari in the study. She turns on the giant computer. Yolei works the sound for her sister's drama club. Shurimon protects TK while he plugs the microphone in. They record Arukenimon's flute and cut out parts and mix it to create a new signal. They play the signal just as Digmon and Stingmon break into the drawer. The new signal makes the insects stop and return to normal.

They now decide to go after Arukenimon. She jumps down on the bed and reveals her Digimon form. She uses her Spider Thread attack, but Ex-Veemon protects them. Yolei and the others soon arrive and they all attack, but she is too quick for them. Arukenimon uses her Acid Mist attack.

Ex-Veemon and Stingmon digivolve to Paildramon. Paildramon attacks her and Arukenimon lands in the garbage can. They come up with a plan to trap Arukenimon in the dining room. Paildramon leads her there. Once there, they use pepper shakers and bug spray on her. They finally electrocute her, followed by Paildramon's Desperado Blaster. Arukenimon tells them that she lives for destroying the digital world. She says that they have no idea what the control spires are really for.

Mummymon, who is in love with Arukenimon, arrives and saves her. He attacks Paildramon and wraps the other Digimon up in Snake Bandages. With the Digimon all tied up, they make their escape. Cody thanks Ken for saving his life and says he now owes Ken.

Quotes[]

Davis: "Hey, lady, don't you know any other tunes?"
ExVeemon: "I can't stand it anymore! Doesn't she know another song?!"

—Davis and ExVeemon share the same frustration with Arukenimon's music.

Davis: "Hey, lady don't you know any other tunes? This is why I don't surf the Internet. I hate websites! Help us!"
ExVeemon: "Help you?! Who's going to help me?! Sorry Davis, but I'm a little tied-up at the moment!!"

—Davis and ExVeemon are both in a tight spot.

Cody: "All we have to do is find a way to alter the sound of the flute! Then if our theory holds, the insect Digimon will return to normal!"
Ken: "Precisely!"
Davis: "Then how does the story of The Birds and the Bees go!?"
Cody: "Uh...later Davis. Now's not the time."

—That's the story of where babies come from, Davis!

"I wondered why Matt's band sounded so good lately. Matt said it was because he was such a great musician! Wait 'til I tell him I know his secret weapon is Yolei!"

T.K. gains leverage over his brother.

Yolei: "We'll delete the section that we don't need, and then we'll save the part that's left as a sound file. We'll copy and paste the original onto multiple tracks and use special effects to distort the sound bites. All you do is press play."
Kari: "Um, I have no idea what you're talking about."

—Yolei and Kari unknowingly mimick the actions of Izzy and Tai in the old days.

"Why do I have a sudden urge to sit on a tuffet eating curds and whey?"

—Good question, Stingmon...gooood question.

Davis: "Hey lady! This is what I think to your bloop!"
Woman: "Hhhrrgghh!!"

—Blowing a raspberry sure does wonder.

Cody: "That's amazing! How could she jump down all that way without getting a single scratch!?"
Ken: "Do you think she could be..!?"
Woman: "So you finally caught on when it's about the time. That's right kids, I'm not human. I am.. Arukenimon!"
Davis & Co.: "Huh!?"

—The mysterious woman finally reveals her identity.

"Some eau de la bug spray, madame?"

Digmon giving Arukenimon the salon treatment from Hell.

Davis: "We want an explanation!"
Yolei: "Yeah! What the Digidestined ever do to you!?"
TK: "Yeah! And why do you want to destroy the Digital World!?"
Ken: "Tell us now!"
Arukenimon: "Ha! Give me a break. That's a ridiculous question!"
Paildramon: "Why is that!?"
Arukenimon: "Why do I want to destroy it? Hah! It's what I live for, you miserable excuse for a Digimon!"

—The Digidestined aren't getting any good answer from Arukenimon.

"Just think of me as a well wrapped present."

Mummymon before revealing his true form.

"Sorry a bad joke. But as soon as we get back to our hide out I'm going to make you look almost as bad as new. Hehehe."

Mummymon lampshading and slipping risque dialogue passing the radar.

Other notes[]

Animation errors

  • Right before Cody calls out to Digmon to tell him to stop attacking ExVeemon, he blinks four times. During the first blink, his eyes vanish completely.
  • In the shot where ExVeemon puts Davis, Cody and Ken down before dedigivolving, he is much bigger in comparison to them than normal.
  • In the shot where the Flymon stop in front of Yolei, Kari and Nefertimon, Kari's shirt is entirely pink.
  • In the shots of Paildramon with Davis and Ken in the background, the black section of his lower jaw is colored white instead.
  • In the upward-panning shot of Paildramon, the black sections on the base of his fingers are colored red instead.
  • In the shot of Cody talking to Ken with Davis and Yolei behind him, the red section of Davis's left arm is colored blue instead.

Dubbing changes

  • The shot of Paildramon being knocked by Mummymon's attack into the cupboard and shattering the glasses is removed.

Real-world references

  • The Japanese title of the episode is a play on the Argentinian novel El beso de la Mujer Araña (Esp: Kiss of the Spider Woman).
  • The English title of the episode is a play on the Walter Scott's poem Marmion: "Oh! what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!"
  • The computer's tomato logo, Wac, is a possible reference to Apple's Mac.
  • In the English dub, Arukenimon's Digimon Analyzer references Mary Howitt's poem The Spider and the Fly: "'Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly."
  • Yolei tells Kari to "play that funky music" before they play their distorted recording, a reference to the song of the same name by the band Wild Cherry.
  • The story of "the birds and the bees" Davis mentions is what parents often use to tell their children where babies come from.

Miscellaneous trivia

  • Arukenimon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
