History Recap / DigimonAdventureE37PerfectsAttackTogetherSparklingAngewomon

Yamato mentally beats himself up for having lost Hikari after he had promised Taichi to protect her, but Sora tells him that the only thing they can do is go to save her. Taichi, unaware of this, goes to the Big Sight complex to rescue everyone, while Mimi watches as [=PicoDevimon=] reports all of the child hostages to be irrelevant, as they've found the eighth child. Vamdemon leaves to go find the supposed eighth child, while [=PicoDevimon=] puts all of the other children to sleep for the time being. Mimi, however, is woken up by the power of her Crest.

Taichi and Agumon run into Bakemon, and Agumon evolves to Greymon to take care of them. Mimi runs into Taichi and informs him that Vamdemon has found the eighth child, and Taichi realizes that this means they could have gotten Hikari.

Wizarmon regains consciousness and shows Hikari's Crest to Takeru and Jou, revealing to them that Hikari is the eighth child and that Tailmon is her Digimon, to surprise from the two.

Yamato's father and Koushirou see Yamato and Sora through the window and is surprised to see them with giant monsters, but Koushirou explains that the ones with Yamato and Sora are on their side and that there are differences between good and bad Digimon. Yamato's father reproaches his son for not staying put, and is more than a little surprised to find that the giant Garurumon is actually the evolved form of Gabumon. Takeru and Jou arrive with Wizarmon; Wizarmon revives Lilimon from her stasis and tells the others that he needs to get to Tailmon.

Vamdemon goes to meet Phantomon and Hikari, and while carrying Tailmon to the air he is spotted by the group of Chosen and Wizarmon. Before they can go off to rescue Tailmon and Hikari, they are attacked by a bunch of Digimon, and Garudamon and [=WereGarurumon=] have to stay behind to fend them off while the others go.

While all of the other Chosen come to rescue Hikari from different directions, Vamdemon takes Tailmon to Hikari and asks if she is the eighth child, to which Tailmon lies and says no but gives herself away when [=PicoDevimon=] pulls on Hikari's hair, causing her to scream and causing a FakeKillScare for Tailmon when she calls Hikari's name. Vamdemon attempts to kill Hikari, but Tentomon arrives, evolves to Kabuterimon, and intervenes with Lilimon. Vamdemon redirects their attacks -- [[MonumentalDamage causing property damage to the Fuji TV station in the process]] -- and escapes with Tailmon and Hikari.

Yamato calls [=WereGarurumon=] from far away and Koushirou has Kabuterimon super-evolve to [=AtlurKabuterimon=], but both are quickly sent back by Vamdemon. Wizarmon manages to get a hit on Vamdemon and throws Hikari her Crest; while Wizarmon is injured by Vamdemon shortly after, Taichi intervenes to prevent Vamdemon from continuing on and killing Hikari. Taichi attempts to throw Hikari her Digivice, but [=PicoDevimon=] takes it from Hikari and Taichi ends up having to super-evolve Greymon to [=MetalGreymon=] in order to fight off Phantomon.

Vamdemon easily shrugs off the attacks of all of the Chosen's Digimon, but Takeru has Patamon evolve to Angemon, who manages to do some damage and even take out [[TheDragon Phantomon]]. Still, Vamdemon remains resilient, and manages to throw a final attack at Tailmon and Hikari...

...[[TakingTheBullet which Wizarmon promptly takes]].

As Wizarmon dies, he tells Tailmon that he has no regrets dying for her, as she gave his life meaning. Wizarmon's death causes Hikari to give a BigNo, inciting a reaction from her Crest and Digivice; [=PicoDevimon=] is forced to let go of Hikari's Digivice and Taichi catches it and throws it to Hikari. With Hikari in possession of her Digivice and with the Crest activated, Tailmon super-evolves to Angewomon, the DistaffCounterpart of Angemon.

Angewomon releases a holy ring that restores all of the other Chosen’s Digimons' strength, and they respond by aiming their attacks into the holy ring, which [[AllYourPowersCombined gathers and absorbs their power]]. Empowered with the strength of the other Digimon, Angewomon promptly [[OneHitKill shoots an arrow through Vamdemon's heart]].

The kids flee the building, which crumbles behind them, and the Chosen Children celebrate their victory against Vamdemon, but there's still one problem: the fog hasn’t gone away...

!!Tropes
* AllYourPowersCombined: Much like Angemon did in his [[Recap/DigimonAdventureE13TheLegendOfTheDigiDestined debut episode]], Angewomon uses the combined attacks of all the other Digimon into empowering her Holy Arrow attack into a OneHitKill.
* AnAesop: Sometimes pacifists have to fight to keep evil in check. Hikari didn't want to fight, but seeing the harm done to Wizarmon made her realize that Vamdemon needed to be stopped.
* BlowYouAway: Vamdemon deviates Kabuterimon's Mega Blaster and Lilimon's Flower Cannon by blowing them away.
* DistaffCounterpart: Angewomon is designed to be a female version of Angemon.
* DontCelebrateJustYet: Almost happens exactly. Following the battle in which it looked like Vamdemon had finally been killed, the Chosen Children are celebrating...only to learn from Takeru and Hikari that Vamdemon's fog barrier hasn't lifted.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Vamdemon, a Perfect-level Digimon, easily shrugs off all the attacks from the Chosen Children's own Perfect-level Digimon; however, he's vulnerable to Angemon and Angewomon's attacksPl. Notably, Angemon is an Adult-level Digimon, and his [[HolyHandGrenade Heaven's Knuckle]] ''accidentally'' kills Vamdemon's henchman [[TheDragon Phantomon]], ''a Perfect-level Digimon'', while also managing to cause pain to Vamdemon.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Humorously, in the original Japanese version, when Koushirou and Tentomon explain about good and bad Digimon to Yamato's father, the thing that seems to shock him the most is Tentomon speaking in this.
* MonumentalDamage: The fight between the heroes and Vamdemon takes place in the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuji_TV Fuji TV headquarters]], one of Odaiba's most distinctive buildings. An all-out fight between several gigantic monsters isn't very kind on a building's infrastructure, however, and at the end of the fight the building collapses, sending its iconic sphere crashing to the ground.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Played with. The Chosen Children are shocked that Vamdemon's fog barrier around the city hasn't vanished even though he's been defeated. This is actually {{Foreshadowing}} for the next episode, which reveals that Vamdemon is NotQuiteDead.
* OhCrap: Vamdemon freaks when Hikari's Digivice and Crest react.
* ShoutOut: In the English dub, when gloating to a captured Kari, Myotismon channels [[Literature/TheWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]]:
-->'''Myotismon:''' I've got you, my pretty! And your little cat too!
* StoryBreakerPower: This episode is a perfect example of how effective Angel-type and Archangel-type Digimon are against [[DarkIsEvil Undead-type Digimon]].
* TakingTheBullet: Wizarmon takes Vamdemon's Night Raid attack that was aimed at Hikari and Tailmon.
* TookALevelInBadass: Vamdemon's increase in power thanks to his VampiricFeeding and the fog shielding him from the sun is shown, [[OneManArmy as he's able to fend off all six of the Chosen Children's Perfect level Digimon]], wheras in the past, [[Recap/DigimonAdventureE26SorasCrestOfLove Garudamon was able to negate his attack]] and [[Recap/DigimonAdventureE33OutOnTheTown WereGarurumon was at least able to give him a tougher challenge]].
* VerbalBackspace: Izzy tries to explain to Hiroaki that Digimon aren't like the monsters you see rampaging through Japan in the movies, but then he takes it back when he realizes that's basically what they're doing.
* WouldHurtAChild: Vamdemon has no problem with trying to kill Hikari.
