Recap / Digimon Ghost Game E44 "Rust"

Go To

Students in Hiro's dorm are receiving rare goods en masse from Fukatsu, a first-grade student who uses a site known as "Reward Elf" that can supposedly manifest them from thin air. But if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is — Espimon points Hiro to the recent occurrences of buildings mysteriously rusting and crumbling, and by connecting the dots, he believes that they're related.


  • Bland-Name Product: In a Freeze-Frame Bonus when Jellymon is cancelling the orders Fukatsu made, one can see brandnames like "Play Switch 6" or "Moogle Play". The former is a parody of both the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, while the latter is a parody of Google Play.
  • The Bus Came Back: This is the first time we see Hiro's father on-screen since Episode 1.
  • Equivalent Exchange: How the orders are being granted. The item being ordered is transmuted at an atomic level from the local surroundings. Jellymon has no idea that this how the Andiramon really made their products and nearly causes a building collapse when a customer eventually got too carried away with ordering.
  • Foreshadowing: The "Reward Elf" site the Andiramon receives orders through is named "MY NO JE LL" and the topmost text on the shopping page is worded in Jellymon's trademark speech pattern. Turns out she was involved in setting up the chaos, after all.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: If one pays very close attention to Kiyoshiro's PC when Hiro investigates Jellymon's involvement in the "Reward Elf" site, he still has the "Fighters Kingdom" game in Episode 10 on his desktop.
  • History Repeats: This is the second time Jellymon got into trouble with a Deva Digimon since Episode 5. Just like Majiramon, the Andiramon are also virtually invincible and the only way to neutralize them is for Jellymon to undo all the ruckus she enabled.
  • Out of Focus: Kiyoshiro is on a business trip and doesn't show up until the very end of the episode, just in time to discover the ruckus Jellymon and the Andiramon caused.
  • Significant Anagram: The name of the "Reward Elf" site, "MY NO JE LL" is an anagram of "JELLYMON", foreshadowing her involvement in Andiramon's deal.
  • Too Good to Be True: It sounds nice enough that you can get valuable items out of thin air without even needing to pay for it, right? Too bad, the place you're living in is going to suffer from some nasty structural failure.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: An unholy combination of Hokuto encouraging the Andiramon to go to the human world to help people with their energy manipulation powers, Jellymon repeating the same mistakes as she did with Majiramon and Pillomon and Fukatsu using Andiramon and Jellymon's website to order hundreds of items with nobody having a better idea about where they even came from almost results in the Andiramon destroying Hiro's dorm.
