[[caption-width-right:350: Who said raising a TroublemakingNewPet was easy?]]

->''"No, I’m Takato! I’m your Digimon Tamer!''
-->-- '''Takato'''


Fortunately, Guilmon doesn’t seem interested in killing Takato, and opts to inspect him curiously instead. Takato is happy to see that Guilmon seems to recognize him, and attempts to [[MobileShrubbery take him home in a cardboard box]]. Guilmon is unfamiliar with all the things around Takato’s room, not knowing how to act in the human world, and is unsure even about his own name and whether Takato is “Takatomon”. Hoping to get Guilmon to recognize him as a human Tamer, Takato dons a pair of goggles, the symbol of [[Anime/DigimonAdventure a certain series]] and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 its sequel]].

At the mysterious GovernmentAgencyOfFiction, the BridgeBunnies detect another “Wild One” - a Goblimon - about to Realize...

At night, Takato’s father catches him sleeping in bed with Guilmon, and tries to ask his mother if it’s okay for Takato to have a pet. Takato’s mother is flatly against it, since it’ll endanger their bakery business, and asks him to tell Takato tomorrow that he can’t have any pets.

The Goblimon emerges in the real world, and Ruki sets her Renamon on him. While Renamon fights off the Goblimon, the white Digimon from before, Culumon[[note]]Calumon[[/note]], barges into a couple having their PDA and scares them away. He soon catches sight of the fight between Renamon and Goblimon, and Ruki slashes one of her cards along her Digivice and adds extra power to Renamon. The Goblimon responds by evolving[[note]]digivolving[[/note]] to Fuugamon[[note]]Fugamon[[/note]], and Ruki is perplexed because, according to her, he shouldn’t be able to evolve.

Guilmon senses the presence of the Goblimon and wants to go outside to fight it, while Ruki tells Renamon that she won’t allow her to lose. Renamon, despite being a Child-level[[note]]Rookie[[/note]] Digimon against an Adult-level[[note]]Champion[[/note]], wins easily, and Renamon absorbs Goblimon’s data as Ruki tells her to get stronger.

In the morning, Takato’s mother, believing that he’s picked up a cat, tells him that he can’t keep one, and Takato shrugs it off and attempts to have Guilmon escape out the window. Takato makes a shelter for Guilmon to stay in while he goes to school and provides him with food from his family’s bakery, telling him to stay there until he returns.

Takato meets up with Hirokazu and Kenta, who comment on his goggles, and find that the blue card has disappeared from his card box. He, Hirokazu, and Kenta head to school, and during gym class, Takato sees a cardboard box walking around and sees that Guilmon had disregarded his request to stay in one place. Guilmon, lonely and looking for Takato, wanders around the school, scratching one of the doors and briefly getting the attention of a teacher. He then runs into the principal of the school, who mistakes him for a kid under a box, and when Guilmon emerges from the box, the principal ends up in a panic and sets off the school’s fire alarm.

As Miss Asanuma goes off to check why the fire alarm went off, Takato runs off to find Guilmon, while the kids at the school pass off the principal’s insistence that he saw a monster as drunken ramblings. Takato sees the empty cardboard box in the hallway and goes outside to look for Guilmon, and when he reaches the school’s cafeteria, he finds that all of the bread has suddenly disappeared.

Takato puts two and two together and walks around, wondering why Guilmon had to come to his school. He’s approached by fellow student Jian and his partner Terriermon, who’d heard Takato say “Guilmon” and recognize Takato as a Tamer. Terriermon tells Takato that he’s not qualified to be a Tamer if he can’t take care of his own Digimon partner, and this, combined with Takato seeing Terriermon’s close relationship with Jian, runs away crying.

Takato finds Guilmon at the school’s roof, and the two are happy to see each other again. Takato, still crying, tells Guilmon to stay there, promising to come back and play with him.

After school, Takato and Guilmon search for a place for him to stay while Takato goes to school - but when they enter the park, Guilmon is attacked by Renamon. Ruki, identifying Takato as a Tamer, tells him to stay away, as it’s a Digimon battle. Takato remembers her from his dream, and Ruki declares that Renamon is ready to fight.

!!Tropes
* ABoyAndHisX: Takato and Guilmon have this relationship, in contrast to the equality Jian and Terriermon and the master/servant dynamic Ruki and Renamon have.

* AgeAppropriateAngst: As a 10-year-old elementary student Takato deserves to feel bad and cry when he sees Guilmon causing havoc at his school.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: This is what one of the students believes about the principal.
-->'''Female student:''' I think the principal’s been drinking on the job…
* BigEater: Guilmon instantly gulps down the small mountain of bread Takato snuck out of his house or it.
* BreatherEpisode: Compared to the last episode this episode is a much calmer SliceOfLife [[DownPlayedTrope albeit with cutaway action scenes]].
* {{Catchphrase}}: Terriermon debuts its signature catchphrase when its Tamer tells it to not make a fuss.
-->'''Terriermon:''' Moumantai.
* CannibalismSuperpower: DownplayedTrope. For the first time, we see a main Digimon absorb a defeated enemy’s data but they don’t gain their powers, just grow stronger.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: After a low-key episode, the much more experienced Renamon wants to engage Guilmon in combat.
-->'''Ruki:''' Renamon wants to fight.
* CurbStompBattle: While it’s not completely helpless, even after evolving to Adult level Fugamon is little more than a punching bag for Renamon. Ruki says as much-
-->'''Ruki:''' It may have managed to evolve to the Adult level, but our parameter is far more superior. It could never defeat us!
* CutenessProximity: The thuggish woman making out with her boyfriend in the park is immediately charmed by Culumon.
-->'''Thuggish Woman:''' Where did this toy come from? It’s so cute!
* DynamicEntry: Renamon alerts itself to Guilmon’s by kicking it into a gate.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Fugamon is attacking Ruki coldly tells Renamon that Failure is not an option.
* FreeRangeChildren: 10-year-old Ruki is apparently allowed to roam Shinjiku unsupervised at night.
* GenreSavvy: Takato goes under his bed and dons a pair of googles before declaring himself Guilmon’s Tamer.

* HumansThroughAlienEyes: A couple of examples.
** Guilmon doesn't understand most of the things in Takato's room and initially thinks Takato is a Digimon as well.
** Culumon, used to a world where Digmon simply kill each other, mistakes a man and woman making out as them trying to devour each other.
* InsistentTerminology: No Guilmon, it’s Takato not Takatomon.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Terriermon might be a little too blunt in the way he says it, but Takato does need to grow up a little, and realize having Guilmon is a lot more complex then having a dog or cat as a pet.
* LethalChef: Apparently, the school cafeteria workers deliberately make the food as terrible as possible.
* MobileShrubbery: Takato sneaks Guilmon into his house under a box. He is not caught.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Guilmon can sense when other Digimon are close, complete with his eyes shrinking down into HellishPupils.
* NextTierPowerUp: Ruki and Renamon’s opponent Goblimon evolves into the Adult level Fugamon [[ThisCannotBe to Ruki’s disbelief]].
* NeverTrustATrailer: Jian and Terriermon barely have a presence in the episode despite them both being featured prominently in the OnTheNext and the latter being in the title.
* NoSell: Gobilmon’s reaction to getting kicked in the stomach by Renamon is to rub it in confusion.
* OnTheNext: Renamon engages Guilmon in a rather brutal battle and quite surprisingly, [[NextTierPowerUp Adult level]] Gargomon makes an appearance.
-->'''Ruki and Takato:''' You, too, should aim to be a Tamer!
* PreviouslyOn: Episode 2 begins with a brief recap of Episode 1 narrated by Creator/MasakoNozawa (Guilmon’s seiyuu).
* RefugeInAudacity: Takato sneaks a newly hatched yet fairy large Guilmon up the stairs and into his room and the most his parents do is to make sure he didn’t bring it any trash again.
* SchoolSportUniform: For first period PE, the boys don a white polo and white shorts. The girls wear bloomers instead of shorts.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: The thuggish woman and her boyfriend bail once they realize Culumon is not a toy.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Jian made a {{Cameo}} in the first episode, but here he is fully introduced as another kid in Takato’s school and his Tamer Senpai.
* SleepCute: Takato (still wearing his goggles) shares his bed with Guilmon.
* TenderTears: Poor Takato sheds when he becomes overwhelmed near the end of the episode.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: “Slash the Life” by Kouji Wada plays once Ruki performs a Card Slash and Renamon overwhelms its opponent.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bread has become Guilmon’s favorite and he left everything else untouched when he helped himself to the cafeteria food.
* TwoTeacherSchool: Takato’s homeroom teacher Asanuma-sensei also doubles as their PE teacher.
* UpCloseWithTheMonster: A terrified Takato thinks this is happening when Guilmon gets in his face. Luckily, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments he’s wrong]].
* WhenSheSmiles: Ruki gives a faint smile when Renamon wins its battle and absorbs its opponent.

Fortunately, Guilmon doesn’t seem interested in killing Takato, and opts to inspect him curiously instead. Takato is happy to see that Guilmon seems to recognize him, and attempts to [[MobileShrubbery take him home in a cardboard box]]. Guilmon is unfamiliar with all the things around Takato’s room, not knowing how to act in the human world, and is unsure even about his own name and whether Takato is “Takatomon”. Hoping to get Guilmon to recognize him as a human Tamer, Takato dons a pair of goggles, the symbol of [[DigimonAdventure a certain series]] and [[DigimonAdventure02 its sequel]].

The Goblimon emerges in the real world, and Ruki sets her Renamon on him. While Renamon fights off the Goblimon, the white Digimon from before, Culumon[[hottip:* :Calumon]], barges into a couple having their PDA and scares them away. He soon catches sight of the fight between Renamon and Goblimon, and Ruki slashes one of her cards along her Digivice and adds extra power to Renamon. The Goblimon responds by evolving[[hottip:* :digivolving]] to Fuugamon[[hottip:* :Fugamon]], and Ruki is perplexed because, according to her, he shouldn’t be able to evolve.

Guilmon senses the presence of the Goblimon and wants to go outside to fight it, while Ruki tells Renamon that she won’t allow her to lose. Renamon, despite being a Child-level[[hottip:* :Rookie]] Digimon against an Adult-level[[hottip:* :Champion]], wins easily, and Renamon absorbs Goblimon’s data as Ruki tells her to get stronger.

At night, Takato’s father catches him sleeping in bed with Guilmon, and tries to ask his mother if it’s okay for Takato to have a pet. Takato’s mother is flatly against it, since it’ll endanger their bakery business, and asks him to tell Takato tomorrow that he can’t have any pets.

In the morning, Takato’s mother, believing that he’s picked up a cat, tells him that he can’t keep one, and Takato shrugs it off and attempts to have Guilmon escape out the window. Takato makes a shelter for Guilmon to stay in while he goes to school and provides him with food from his family’s bakery, telling him to stay there until he returns.

Takato meets up with Hirokazu and Kenta, who comment on his goggles, and find that the blue card has disappeared from his card box. He, Hirokazu, and Kenta head to school, and during gym class, Takato sees a cardboard box walking around and sees that Guilmon had disregarded his request to stay in one place. Guilmon, lonely and looking for Takato, wanders around the school, scratching one of the doors and briefly getting the attention of a teacher. He then runs into the principal of the school, who mistakes him for a kid under a box, and when Guilmon emerges from the box, the principal ends up in a panic and sets off the school’s fire alarm.

As Miss Asanuma goes off to check why the fire alarm went off, Takato runs off to find Guilmon, while the kids at the school pass off the principal’s insistence that he saw a monster as drunken ramblings. Takato sees the empty cardboard box in the hallway and goes outside to look for Guilmon, and when he reaches the school’s cafeteria, he finds that all of the bread has suddenly disappeared.

Takato puts two and two together and walks around, wondering why Guilmon had to come to his school. He’s approached by fellow student Jian and his partner Terriermon, who’d heard Takato say “Guilmon” and recognize Takato as a Tamer. Terriermon tells Takato that he’s not qualified to be a Tamer if he can’t take care of his own Digimon partner, and this, combined with Takato seeing Terriermon’s close relationship with Jian, runs away crying.

Takato finds Guilmon at the school’s roof, and the two are happy to see each other again. Takato, still crying, tells Guilmon to stay there, promising to come back and play with him.

After school, Takato and Guilmon search for a place for him to stay while Takato goes to school - but when they enter the park, Guilmon is attacked by Renamon. Ruki, identifying Takato as a Tamer, tells him to stay away, as it’s a Digimon battle. Takato remembers her from his dream, and Ruki declares that Renamon is ready to fight.
