(Note: this episode was recorded on January 30th, soon after episode 16 aired)

Let’s talk about Ghost Game episodes 9-12! We dive into the return of Clockmon, the introduction of Bokomon, the debut of TeslaJellymon and WezenGammamon, the evolutionless growth of Ruli, and whether Hiro’s pacifism is starting to worry us. (Note: this episode was recorded right after episode 12 aired, so we had no idea what was coming with episode 13…)
