 DA02 ep22 recap Episode recap for Davis Cries Wolfmon. |
Synopsis[]
Knowing they need to clean up after Ken messed up in the Digi-World they help Digimon rebuild it. They help out, but suddenly Davis wants Veemon to normal digivolve like T.K., thinking Kari would like him more than T.K. He comes up with these crazy schemes to make him digivolve, all of which end in failure. Eventually, Veemon demands to know why Davis is trying to make him digivolve and Davis confesses. Veemon retorts that Gatomon wouldn't like him more if Davis could digivolve, to which Davis replies that she doesn't love him enough now. Veemon takes offense, but when Tortomon chases them, Veemon finally digivolves into ExVeemon! He defeats Tortomon and they go back to work.

Kari: "Why does he always have some hair-brained scheme he's trying to pull off?"
- —T.K. and Kari can't believe some of the things their leader comes up with.

Veemon: "Again with the digivolving thing?"

Veemon: "Davis, please tell me this is just another trick!"

Other notes[]
Animation errors
- As Yolei and Cody run into the computer room, for a brief moment, Yolei's beret flashes the same color as her hair, then the same color as Upamon.
- As Yolei is opening the gate to the Digital World, her D-3 has no buttons and is extremely elongated.
- When Davis and Veemon are carrying a log, the Digimon helping them appear to be Vegiemon in one shot, then RedVegiemon in the next. Since Vegiemon do not feature anywhere else in this episode, it can probably be assumed that the error is in drawing RedVegiemon as Vegiemon (rather than vice-versa).
- When T.K. is talking to Kari in the paddies, Gatomon's paws are colored white.
- When Kari wonders where the others went, her right hand's fingers are misdrawn.
- When Veemon turns around after the shot of MegaDancermon, his hands have four fingers instead of five.
- When T.K., Kari and their Digimon watch Tortomon leave, the hole on Kari's left glove is missing.
- When Davis asks Tortomon to wash his hands, Davis's left sleeve is entirely red.
Dubbing changes
- The reason Veemon becomes mad at Davis in the original is because Davis hits him on the head (as part of his next plan to make Veemon digivolve). This moment is removed from the English dub.
- In the original version, when Davis and Veemon run into Tortomon, they find him urinating, which is why he becomes angry with them. Following this, at the cliff-edge, Davis asks Tortomon to wash his hands before attacking them, making him even angrier. Then, after being defeated, Tortomon urinates again (explaining why Davis and ExVeemon cover their eyes), except this time, he does wash his hands. The scene is similar in the English dub, with the differences being after Tortomon saves Davis and Veemon from the boulder, he misinterprets the former's gratitude as having started the rockslide and the urinating scene is cut.
Digimon references
- In the Japanese version, Veemon's imaginary MegaDancermon form is named UltraAngemon as a callback to Guardian Angel, where upon learning the thematic pairing between Patamon's Angemon digivolution and Gatomon's Angewomon digivolution, Davis wished to muscle in while one-upping T.K. at the same time. He used the name UltraAngemon there, which the American English dub chose to localize as AngeDinosaurmon and AngeSoccerPlayermon. The dub of this episode instead chooses to use a new joke instead of continuing with the reference.
Real-world references
- The episode title is a reference to the fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
Miscellaneous trivia
- ExVeemon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
- This episode is the first in the series to feature a digivolution to the Champion level with one of the new partner Digimon.
- This episode shows Veemon developing a crush on Gatomon due to Davis' influence.
- During the fight with Tortomon, ExVeemon shouts his attack, "ExVee-Punch!" and promptly throws a kick.
- Patamon said that Kari is a great dancer, because Gatomon taught her those moves, so he asked her if she could teach him.
- The image of ExVeemon emerged from the data stream during his digivolution sequence is different than it is in following episodes.
