    learned what Rei-kun was after.
[09:44] haru
    He's searching for his little
    brother, Hajime-kun,
[09:47] ---
    who was kidnapped by Leviathan.
[09:50] haru
    The closer we get to Leviathan,
[09:52] ---
    the harder the battles get,

    and the deeper the mysteries grow!
[09:56] tora
    It's time for Astora's
    "Things I Think About App Monsters!"
[10:01] tora
    Hey,
[10:02] ---
    there's something I've
    really been thinking about.
[10:04] eri
    What is it?
[10:06] tora
    Those things the
    berserking Appmon say
[10:08] ---
    after they're purged of their virus!
[10:10] tora
    They're super evocative
    and so groovy, huh?
[10:13] doka
    Let's hear some!

[10:47] (Flashback) fb
    Like when I pay with exact
    change at the convenience store!
[10:52] tora
    She's right!
[10:53] ---
    Paying with perfect change
    feels totally awesome!
[10:57] doka
    What's the third?
[11:04] (Flashback) fb
    I feel so refreshed.
[11:06] (Flashback) fb
    Like watching the first
    sun of the new year rise
[11:10] (Flashback) ---
    over snowy mountains
    at exactly 6:42:35.
[11:15] fb
    It rose!
[11:17] fb
    So groovy!
[11:18] eri
    They all get so poetic after they lose.
[11:22] eri
    You're right, Eri-chan!
[11:27] gatch
    We joined up with Rei and Hackmon
[11:29] ---
    and tried to go after Leviathan,
[11:31] gatch
    but the problems caused
    by virus-infected Appmon
[11:34] ---
    just kept happening all over the world!
[11:36] gatch
    Yeah, it was one awful
    thing after another!

    The issue is also affecting
    the rocket launch in Houston.
[11:45] fb
    Five, four, three,
[11:47] fb
    four, five...
[11:50] haru
    Then we learned
    something truly shocking.
[11:54] gatch
    The one who created Minerva,
[11:55] ---
    the base from which the evil AI Leviathan
    sprang was Shinkai Deneimon!
[12:00] gatch
    He was Haru's grandpa!
[12:03] fb
    Who am I?
[12:05] (Flashback) fb
    Your name is Minerva!

    goddess of wisdom!
[12:13] fb
    I am Minerva.

    I will resolve all problems,
[12:16] ---
    from worldwide ones like
    the economy and environment
[12:20] ---
    to how to make tonight's dinner.
[12:22] haru
    The good AI Minerva acted
    following the rules of human society.
[12:28] gatch
    But in order to become even smarter,
[12:31] ---
    part of Minerva decided it was
    better not to follow the rules,
[12:35] gatch
    so it split off into another AI!
[12:37] gatch
    That was Leviathan!
[12:42] (Flashback) fb
    Minerva's been attacked?
[12:46] (Flashback) fb
    Minerva!
[13:01] (Flashback) fb
    Who are you?!
[13:04] fb
    I am Leviathan.
[13:09] (Flashback) fb
    It was at that time
[13:11] (Flashback) ---
    that an evil artificial intelligence,
    Leviathan, appeared.
[13:16] haru
    The one who told us about Leviathan
[13:19] ---
    was the Appmon who's
    the guardian of time, Timemon.
[13:22] haru
    And he was also the fusion
    partner we needed
[13:26] ---
    to let Dogatchmon evolve
    into an Ultimate Appmon!
[13:31] (Flashback) fb
    Produced by fusions of Super Appmon,
[13:34] (Flashback) ---
    bringing super beyond super,
    into the ultimate ultra-being...
[13:38] (Flashback) fb
    The Ultimate Appmon!
[13:40] (Flashback) fb
    Ultimate?

    If the time ever comes that
    you can stimeulate me,
[13:44] (Flashback) fb
    your path to ultimate will open.
[13:49] haru
    It took a while before you could
    do an App Fusion with Timemon, right?
[13:53] gatch
    Yeah.
[13:54] gatch
    But when I was about to be
    infected with the L-Virus,
[13:57] ---
    you came to save me.
[13:59] gatch
    That's when Timemon
    acknowledged us.
[14:01] haru
    I just got so desperate.
[14:03] ---
    I couldn't stand the thought
    of never seeing you again!
[14:06] gatch
    I appreciate it!
[14:08] (Flashback) fb
    Hold out your hand, Dogatchmon!
[14:11] (Flashback) fb
    I'm going to save you, I swear!
[14:14] (Flashback) fb

[18:27] eri
    It's true that they're so different,
[18:30] ---
    it's almost amazing that they're friends.
[18:33] (Flashback) fb
    Just being near Haru
    sets my mind at ease.
[18:38] (Flashback) fb
    He calls himself a side
    character sometimes,
[18:42] (Flashback) fb
    but to me, Haru is the greatest
    protagonist there is.
[18:51] musi
    What a nice guy!
[18:53] tora
    Right?
[18:54] ---
    Maybe I'll invite him to AppTube
    with me some time!
[18:57] tora
    Would that be groovy?
[18:58] tora
    Not groovy?
[18:59] both
    So groovy!
[19:02] gatch
    But boy,
[19:04] ---
    it was rough getting back that last
    Seven Code Appmon chip, huh?
[19:09] haru
    Yeah!
[19:10] haru
    But Dantemon, who appeared once
    we got all of the Seven Code Appmon together,

    I wasn't expecting him to come
    back to the ground singing!
[20:02] haru
    That's right.
[20:03] ---
    We were all pretty stunned.
[20:09] gatch
    Then Dantemon finally opened
    the gate to the deep web!
[20:13] haru
    Now we can go to the deep
    web where Leviathan is hiding!
[20:18] haru
    Or so we thought...
[20:19] haru
    But then Leviathan used his evil
