Thoughts
This episode is a lot of fun. It's one of my favorites in the first series, and was glad that this was one of 3 episodes I saw that made me a fan in the first place. I really liked that the kids got to face 2 Perfect level Digimon in a row.

The dub was very good. Yes there may have been 8 seconds cut, but for the most part it was very accurate to the original.

Side Note
I don't normally compare recaps due to them being different, but in the dub Izzy pronounces Andromon's name correctly (well in the dub) in the beginning of it, but by the end he pronounces it like the Japanese version does. It's kind of cool.

Removed Footage-5 Seconds
So we start off with a cut. The first scene with the squeaky doll is excised in the dub likely for time.

Dialogue Edit

What the kids and Digimon sing is different in both versions.

Song 1 (Kids):

" I remember my hometown in distant lands."

In the dub Mimi talks instead of the kids singing.

Song 2 (Digimon):

"Sweet it's not, sour it is, success is not for me me me!"

"Digimon eat and Digimon fight, Digimon Digivolve and fight all night."

The dub's song is very corny.

Song 3 (Mimi):

"Erroneous Person~"

American Mimi: "Oh give me a home where the buffalo roams."

Joe: "Avoiding your drone."

Song 4 (Koushirou):

"Even now, nothing will..."

Izzy talks instead, and the voice does not match the lip flaps well.

Song 5 (Kids):

"Even now, nothing will..."

"Digimon fight and Digimon fly, Digimon Digivolve and fight all..."

Numemon's attack name changes from Poop to Nume Sludge & Party Time. Nume Sludge is said by Mimi in the Analyzer screen while the Numemon say Party time. I think it's obvious why this change was made.

Side Note
In the dub Numemon's voice is an impersonation of Ed Wynn who is most famous for voicing the Mad Hatter in Disney's Alice In Wonderland.

Dialogue Edit
Monzaemon's attack name changes from Lovely Attack to Hearts Attack.

Removed Footage-3 Seconds
After the flashback of how Taichi & Agumon were attacked by Monzaemon there is a 3 second cut of Agumon & Piyomon talking in the dub.

Side Note

I like Mari Devon as Togemon. She is another one of my favorite Voice Actors in the dub. She gets some big roles later on like a certain fox Digimon.

Dialogue Edit

Togemon's Prickly Bang Bang is changed to Digimon Needle Spray in this episode. In future episodes it's shortened to Needle Spray.
