01x02 - Glowing Dawn

[bunniefuu]

In the near future, e-Pulse is
generated by human thoughts and emotions,

and used as an energy source
for AI devices called "Sapotamas,"

leading to a new development for humanity.

But from its shadows,
terrifying monsters have appeared.

Monsters that evolve by consuming e-Pulse.

They are...

I feel a roaring Mad Pulse

Beyond where no one can stop me

I'll make my way there
As I seek the answer

Carve your emotion

It reverberates

The tempo that synchs

Is a pulse that slowly reveals
The hidden world

Record on top of the solid Baseline

Don't mess up tempo

Normal's not enough for me

Just keep howling, howling!!!
Howling like it's all you've got

Even if what you believe begins to blur

The reality that you grasp
Rings strong and true

Take away the Metronome
For this one and only JAM

I feel a roaring Mad Pulse

The emotional beat that rings out

Is the BPM that continues on and on

[Let the beat lead the way]

The Cloudy rain swallows the city

Even if I link and the rhythm warps
I just make it part of my groove

Ride it like you see fit

[Let the beat lead the way]

Even if it hurts, I won't stop

Keep carving the beat
Won't back down

We can overcome anything

Drum to your emotion

That's...!

We're too late.

Look!

Makocchan, the older brother's already...

The one who took his e-Pulse
is still nearby. Be careful.

What is it?!

It ate him!

Huh? What did you say?

It ate him!

An unknown Digimon swallowed
Tomoro Tenma whole!

Unknown?!

There's no bounty on it yet!

It's not in the database.
It's a new Digimon!

Makoto!

Look out!

W-What...

What's happening?!

GLOWING DAWN

What are they?!

I don't know, but...

they're all the same once eaten!

What?!

Over here, ya know!

What the heck?! What's going on here?!

T-They're fast!

How in the heck...?!

Tomoro's e-Pulse
really hits the spot, ya know!

You'll pay for that.

For what...

For what you did to Asuka!

W-Wait! I'm not the one
who ate your brother!

The other one! With the scar--

Once I'm through with you,
I'll go after them, too!

Thank you, Chiropmon.

Makocchan! What's happening?

The unknown Digimon spat out Tomoro Tenma,
and now he's using it to fight.

It's completely one-sided.

But they won't last if
they keep using his e-Pulse like that.

That's it, Tomoro!
Show me more of your beat!

Pour more of your e-Pulse
into me, ya know!

Behind you!

That's enough outta you!

Tomoro!

You c*ck little...!

Don't move!

Cleaners...

Which one of you
drained Asuka Tenma's e-Pulse?!

Asuka? Who the heck's that?

Don't play dumb!

Like anyone remembers
the names of their food!

Oh? I remember the names
of the humans I eat.

Like Hitomi.

Hitomi?

Hitomi?! What's wrong, Hitomi?

Hitomi!

You attacked Hitomi!

That's right! I smelled
an exquisite e-Pulse from her Sapotama.

What a letdown, though.
She was barely edible!

How dare you!

Who cares? It ended up leading us
to the source of the scent.

That's you.

The scrumptious scent of your e-Pulse
was all over that girl!

Because I touched her Sapotama...

Hitomi was...

Tomoro?

What's wrong, ya know?

Show me more of your beat, ya know.

Their link is about to expire.

What?

Tomoro!

That little...!

Wolvermon!

Bro!

-Why you...
-Hands off of them!

You little scrubs! You'll pay for that!

That light!

Is it... Evolving?!

Huh?

What the heck is that thing?!

Its data's locked!

This malice and intense presence...

An Ultimate Digimon,
or something beyond that!

You...

Keep your...

Keep your hands off of Tomoro, ya know!

Keep your hands off, ya know!

Would you return that Sapotama, please?

Kyo Sawashiro.

Unfortunately, I don't know your name.

Would you kindly summon your Owner?

No.

So be it then.

Shall I pursue?

No.

Protecting his brother's our priority.

Tomoro.

Happy birthday.

Congratulations!

Tomoro! Happy birthday!

I guess it was a dream.

I'm starving.

It wasn't a dream...

Finally awake?

It's almost lunch.
I've heard of well-slept, but...

Huh?

What?

Go wash up. The sink is that way.

Stop staring and go!

Oh! you're awake!

I'm Makoto. Nice to meet you.

Makocchan's our specialist
at dealing with all the boring stuff.

Reina.

Please pull out the sleeves
when you add it to the laundry.

Sure, sure.

Come along, sleepy-head.

I'm Reina.

This is my partner, Pristimon.

Nice to meet you, Tomoro Tenma.

How do you know my name...

Because Asuka asked us to look after you.

Hup!

Who are you?

Kyo Sawashiro.

Leader of the Glowing Dawn.

The Glowing Dawn?

We're a Cleaner team

that handles the heinous Digimon incidents
that are happening unknown to the world.

Digimon?

You really don't know anything, do you?

Digimon are monsters
that are born from Sapotamas.

Dealing with their crimes to earn bounties
is what we Cleaners do.

You must be hungry. Any requests?

What's that smell?!
It smells amazing, ya know!

Fried wood ear mushroom and eggs.
Here you go.

What's this?!
It smells delicious, ya know!

Huh?!

Hey! Ask permission first!

They're eating human food.
What a strange Digimon.

Interesting. Must record.

You sit here!

Eat up.

Yeah! Looks yummy!

Let's eat!

Tomoro, you should try this, ya know!

Tomoro?

You don't like mushrooms?

Don't be a picky eater.

Say so beforehand!

Try it. Once you eat Kyo's cooking
you'll be hooked for...

What's wrong with you?!

My brother was k*lled by monsters!

How can I casually sit and eat?!

Oh come on, Tomoro!
Are you too good to eat with me?

Your brother's still alive.

What?

Would you like to see Asuka?

Where is this?

The World Union General Hospital.

Aside from standard outpatients, they have
a special wing for Cold Heart victims.

Your brother's an old friend.

Last night, out of the blue,
he asked me to look after you.

What?

I hear you two live
away from your parents.

We help each other when in need.

As we said, Digimon are monsters
that are born from an error in Sapotamas.

That's news to me.

It's an inconvenient truth
the World Union prefers hidden.

Digimon are behind the Cold Heart
Incidents happening all over.

A family member of Asuka Tenma? This way.

Asuka!

Asuka?

Hey. It's me, Asuka.

Asuka!

People drained of all their e-Pulse
become unresponsive husks like this.

But there's still hope.

Hope?

Asuka was drained of all his e-Pulse
by that hyena thing!

And then that big monkey thing...

Yes, the Hyemon was deleted.

But its Sapotama still remains.

What?

That Sapotama still contains
Asuka's e-Pulse.

If we can get it back,
we might be able to restore Asuka.

Are you serious?

Do you even know
what that big monkey thing is?!

No.

But, as a Cleaner, I'm certain
we'll eventually encounter a clue.

Tomoro, come with me.

You're telling me to be a Cleaner?!

That's how you'll look after me?!

If you've got other leads, be my guest.

Screw you!

What am I supposed to do?

Dad... Mom...

Asuka...

There you are, ya know!

Y-You!

Oof!

How did you find...

I can kind of tell
where you might be, ya know!

Seriously?

Hey.

I'm starving, ya know.
Gimme some of your e-Pulse.

You already ate the wood ear mushrooms!

That stuff won't fill my belly, ya know!

Come on. Gimme some, ya know!

Why am I supposed to look after you?

Shock!

W-Why?

Didn't you give birth to me?

Being born from my Sapotama
was your business!

You're heartless! How can you say that
after I saved your life!

I never asked you to.

Now I'm mad! You...

mushroom?

What?

What's this?

Found you!

No matter where you hide...

You can't escape us!

Who are you?

We're the Cleaners of justice
who protect peace in the bay area!

The Kinoko g*ng!

Kinoko g*ng?

What's that?

Honestly.

I hate clueless novices.

Very well!

A Kinoko g*ng special lesson!

What happens when
your Sapotama spawns a Digimon!

What?

When a Sapotama spawns a Digimon,

the Ministry of Civil Protection
will immediately contact you.

"There's something wrong
with your Sapotama, isn't there?"

"Yes! It must be a bug!"

Report it, hand in your Sapotama,
and you'll be given a replacement.

However,

if someone ignores the Ministry
and flees like you,

a bounty is placed
and intel is sent to Cleaners.

What? I never fled!

Well it says you did!



Cheap!

Cheap indeed.

But newborn Digimon are easy to hunt.

Truly, the perfect targets
for earning a little cash!

Poison S-Mush!

This is my room!

Sniff, sniff.

What's wrong?

I can't move, ya know.

What?

Darn it!

He's running! After him!

Tomoro!

You're helping me?

I couldn't care less,
but I'd feel guilty abandoning you!

-There he is!
-Surrender!

Tomoro!

Just running away is lame, ya know!

Tomoro, gimme some of your e-Pulse!

Fine, then!

Go! Lizard!

I ain't no Lizard!

I'm...

Gekkomon, ya know!

Mush!

-Mu...
-...sh!

Mushmon!

Tomoro's e-Pulse always hits the spot!

This is for my friends!
Get them, Chamblemon!

Sweepore!

That gas again?!

Don't inhale it, Lizard!

What the heck?!

Chamblemon's super attack, Sweepore!

Its spores cling to you
and drain e-Pulse to grow into mushrooms!

I feel weak...

Lizard!

Darn it!

Drain them dry!

Paralyze Echo!

Tomboy Blaze!

Thank goodness... Wait. Yowch!

Sorry about that.

Honestly, you're quite the handful.

- Why...
- Because you were late coming back.

Kyo asked us to check up on you.

What?

By "Kyo," you mean Kyo Sawashiro?

That means...

They're...

the Glowing Dawn?!

So, who wants to burn next?

We're so sorry!

You see now?

Because you missed the Ministry's call,
you're now wanted.

So guys like that are gonna come for you.

The only way to lose your bounty
is to become a Cleaner like us.

I'm starving, ya know.

Welcome back.

Let's have dinner.

Mushroom, butter and soy sauce spaghetti.
Here you go.

Bon appetit.

-Let's eat!
-Let's eat, ya know!

You're eating again?

What a peculiar one.

Must record.

Here. This is yours.

Woo-hoo!

-Here.
-Thank you.

Tomoro? You ain't eating?

To eat means to be alive.

If you want to rescue Asuka...

for now, eat.

Let's eat.

Trying to be strong

Hiding all my scars

Realizing now

What it is I can't let go

At times I feel I just want to give up,
That this is it

Can you hear it?

The echo of this SOUL BEAT

An invisible emotion's HEAT

BACK BEAT inside you

Deep within,
A STORY that you create

You're not alone anymore

Together we'll grasp it

Keep your beat up for the future

Why this, after we finally got a clue
about the Hyemon that attacked Hitomi?

Do Cleaners only care about bounties?

Just leave it to me, Tomoro!

All of you...
As if I could ever trust you!

Tomoro...

You don't trust me either?

Next time on DIGIMON BEATBREAK,
"Facing Mirrors."
