Looks like I called it back in post 193
.
He is just as powerful as the last time he showed up. I wonder if he is going to get a motorcycle?
Yu hav nat sein bod speeling unntil know. (cacke four undersandig tis)the cake is a lie!I thought it was nice to see Knightmon and the others again. I found it kind of strange that Lilithmon said the next zone that the group is going to is absolutely horrible and it turns out to be a place with a lot of angelic Digimon. So does this mean that Ba'almon digivolved? I am not sure. So far I am liking this season a lot more than Digimon Frontier though. I suppose the removal of power levels actually makes it more interesting since the group does not have to fight weaker Digimon at first and can just start fighting really powerful ones.

It's been done. In fact it's been done alot. Still though, we get to see Slash Angemon, and this is the first time an Angel has been a straight up villain in the series, so let's see where this goes.

One Strip! One Strip!
You forget about Lucemon, who, in fact, seems to be turning up again in the next episode. I spotted him in the "next episode" montage, which kinda explains a lot about why Xros Heart are in their newest dilemma.
Okay, we have a subber again! Sweet! 14 was a pretty good episode, really.

In particular, we seem to have Child-form Lucemon in the next episode. I'm wondering if he's going to end up as a villain or not... After all, the Demon Lords we've seen thus far are as often on Xros Heart's side as they are on the Bagura army's.
I'd say they wouldn't dare make a creature whose name is derivative from Lucifer a good guy in a children's program, but then again, this is Japan. I doubt many of them know much about christian mythology or care... but the localization would have a bit of a headache.
We're talking about Japan, the country that gave us Shin Megami Tensei, which portrays God as a total asshole for the most part and Lucifer as the lesser of two evils. It could go either way, but if they had Kid!Lucemon join Xros Heart, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
Though, Lucifer wasn't always evil, maybe they could explore the idea of how Lucifer acted before his fall from grace.

Another Kouji Wada song? HELL YES!
BTW, I just now heard that SlashAngemon's voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama. The TTGL jokes, they KEEP COMING!
Since the subbed episode has now come out, we can now definitively say that Lucemon is both a main character and a good guy. For now, at least; he was just elected President, so if he decides to go wacko again, he's in the perfect position to do the most damage. That, or he's just REALLY good at hiding his true intentions- the Heaven-Zone story seems to be at least a two-parter, so there's time for anything really.
We also see Shakkoumon, who seems shifty but ultimately good intentioned. Given how much he seems to be lurking, I'm betting he's part of Nene's group.

Well this is an alternate universe, so well see how it plays out.
One thousand Quatloos say Slash Angemon buys it first!!!
One Strip! One Strip!To be fair, according to Frontier's backstory, Lucemon in that series was originally a good guy who stopped the war between human and beast Digimon, except he ended up getting corrupted by power... Much like Lucifer himself, incidentally, whose most significant sin is pride.
This Lucemon seems to be a genuinely good person, and the next episode seems to be focused more on Nene, who, being a sneaky little general, might possibly attack in order to get to the Code Crown before Lucemon can properly consolidate power.
I found the Lucemon stuff to not be too jarring given the fact that he seems pretty good in his current form. His other forms are the only ones that seem obviously evil to me. Also, given how he was elected president I do not think he will go with the group. If that is true, then I wonder who will join up with them.
Also, I feel like I heard a rumor that Nene was actually working for the "bad guys". I wonder if this next episode will show that to be the case.
"irhgT nm0w tehre might b ea lotof th1nmgs i dont udarstannd, ubt oim ujst goinjg to keepfollowing this pazth i belieove iN !!!!!1 dNo way. Or, at least not any of the currently known Big Bads. They are atively trying to kill Xross Heart and the other team. If she was on the Bad Guy's side, she would have had plenty of chances to kill Xross Heart.
Now, I can see her working for a Nebulous Evil Organisation who has yet-to-be-revieled.

I too doubt that she is working for the current evil team, but I do not know if she is on the same side as Taiki and company either.
"irhgT nm0w tehre might b ea lotof th1nmgs i dont udarstannd, ubt oim ujst goinjg to keepfollowing this pazth i belieove iN !!!!!1 d...I just realized something. If the Bagura army army is defeated and Nene stays out of the getting-code-crown side of things, we will have Red Vs Blue.
HOW HAS NO ONE MADE THIS CONNECTION (and associated jokes) BEFORE NOW?!
Yu hav nat sein bod speeling unntil know. (cacke four undersandig tis)the cake is a lie!Okay, the Genre Savvy fans were right on the money here. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them.
So...Lucemon was The Mole for Lilithmon, but Nene (still not sure who she's working for) screwed him over. Is that it?
BTW, pay close attention to the end — Zenjirou wasn't teleported. Wonder what that could mean...

As I understood it:
Lucemon, who is working for Lilithmon, needed darkness powers to get the code crown, so he got help from Nene, who did some stuff for reasons I don't understand. Then Lucemon got defeated, and decided to go absorb a lot more darkness power from that stuff Nene was doing, was turned him into his Satan mode, if the next episode preview in any indication.

Apparently we have a new fan subber already. Episode 14's subbed.
