I prefer the second season, but both seasons stink until they get past a certain point. In the second season, that point is the Kaiser's defeat. But one nice thing about this episode is that the DDestined finally change their clothes!
I love Digimon very much, but I really think this was the worst episode so far. Not only do the creators waste 3 minutes Digivolving, they made the action scenes and voices sound kiddish and pathetic. This was painful to watch.
