The heroes investigate an rumor about people disappearing after hearing the sound of dripping water.
Tropes
- The Bus Came Back: After vanishing for a handful of episodes, Black Tailmon Uver. returns to retrieve Splashmon's frozen body.
- Degraded Boss: Splashmon debuted as one of the Bagra Army's Seven Death Generals in Xros Wars. In here he's just a Monster of the Week. Unlike in Digimon Adventure:, he's in his human form and not his Darkness Mode 2 form.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Hiro gets the idea to defeat Splashmon by remembering Gammamon eating ice cubes earlier in the episode.
- Human Resources: Splashmon transforms humans into water he intends to use to create a beauty serum.
- Logical Weakness: In instructing Ruli to change to frozen AR-field, Hiro correctly guesses that Splashmon cannot control water when it's frozen. SymbareAngoramon easily defeats Splashmon by freezing him with a cold-temperature wind attack.
- Making a Splash: Splashmon can control any water near him, up to and including entire aquariums. He can also turn people and Digimon into orbs of water.
- Minor Injury Overreaction: Splashmon doesn't take it kindly when Gammamon slices off a small lock of his hair.
- No Ontological Inertia: All the people Splashmon turned into water are changed back to normal after he is frozen.
- Rings of Activation: When Splashmon touches someone, they are briefly surrounded by rings of bar code lines before turning into water.
- Urban Legend: Hiro is seen looking through a website about urban legends, suspecting a number of them might be Digimon related. This is how he learns of people disappearing after hearing water drops. Naturally, a Digimon turns out to be behind this.
