Synopsis[]
The Fusion Fighters United Army awakens in the Digital Underworld, the setting for Ewan's game. Mikey apologizes for putting them in this predicament, which the others accept. The Monitamon scouts signal the all clear from the castle in front of them, so they head there. The castle is already decorated with the United Army's emblems, and when the group reaches the top, a projection of Ewan greets them. Ewan explains the rules to their game: the winner is the one to reach the opposite castle on the other side of the Underworld and kill the opposing General, and for the purposes of the game, that means Mikey and Ewan. Christopher agrees on behalf of the others, despite how obvious it is that Ewan does not understand the true consequences of their fight. Because Mikey has shown that he has trouble fighting against those who have good sides to them, Christopher takes charge of the attack.
The two armies then clash, with Ewan showing total confidence in his ability to predict his opponents' actions due to the time he spent observing the United Army. The grunts are met by Knightmon and the PawnChessmons, while the main force headed by AxeKnightmon and Laylamon Combined is greeted by Shoutmon X5, Beelzemon, and Mervamon. AxeKnightmon reveals that Ewan anticipated that they'd use their heavy hitters to repel the frontal attack. He also anticipated that Christopher would launch a sneak attack, so he sends Apollomon Whispered and Sethmon to knock him out of the sky.
Seeing the battle as won, Ewan relaxes. As he believes that no one really gets hurt, he treats it all as a game, and Tuwarmon, his bodyguard, is noticeably discomfited at this attitude. AxeKnightmon then figures out that things are going far too well, just Ewan realizes that the battles are taking longer than anticipated. This realization is punctuated by MailBirdramon's assault on his castle, bringing with him Mikey. Mikey then reveals Christopher's plan: Christopher would act as a decoy while transferring his main Digimon to Mikey. Nene would instead be the one to digifuse and support Shoutmon X5, giving Mikey the time to reach the castle and face Ewan. He digifuses MetalGreymon as the Bagra Army Digimon realize the ruse and return to the castle. Ewan flees while Mikey gives chase, but Ewan then draws a sword on Mikey and challenges him to a duel.

Other notes[]
Continuity errors
- In the original version, "Ewan and The Land of Illusion", Laylamon Combined's costume was depicted as having cups on the catsuit and green panties. However, in this episode the catsuit has no cups and her panties are black. Laylamon Combined's chest and hip wings are also larger.
- In the English dub, Laylamon, Blastmon and the three Vilemon are shown together at the edge of a cliff. One of the Vilemon suggests they should "split before Laylamon gets here", despite the fact that she had just been shown to be behind them.
Animation errors
- Although this episode depicts Laylamon Combined's catsuit as being without cups, when the Sun-wheel Army is marching, the catsuit has cups, and the chest part is miscolored as green.
- When Beelzemon notices Laylamon Combined's aura, her right elbow glove is miscolored the same color as her skin.
- When Laylamon Combined starts to control the Hell's Field's heat, the black part of her pasties are miscolored as green and her hip wings are miscolored as black.
- Between Tuwarmon summoning the Gorillamon guards and Mikey reloading Greymon, MailBirdramon is accidentally drawn as MetalGreymon.
Dubbing changes
- The following scenes are cut from the American English version:
- Laylamon's introduction to the Digital Underworld.
- A close-up of the advancing Bagra Army Digimon through the castle's viewing screen.
- A shot of Sparrowmon screaming in pain.
- A shot of Beelzemon's shot barely missing Laylamon Combined.
Digimon references
- The commercial break starts with a shot of D1-CP5: MailBirdramon from Super Digica Taisen.
