My straps arrived today and since the sixth strap is still unknown I thought I’d make a blog post about it.
And the unknown strap was the Kaiser, surprising nobody.

Shut Up and Take My Digi-Dollars! #4: Usable Digi-Merch – What's For Lunch?
As I mentioned in my last post for SUTMD; I love using my Digimon merchandise in everyday scenarios. I previously mentioned my use of the OUTDOOR tote and backpack as well as the KOD sports towel so I won’t write about them again, today I will talk about another piece of Digimon Merchandise that I use frequently (besides the tote and towel which I also use everyday).
I recently bought the Digimon Adventure Tri lunch set that was available at the Tri Part 5 popup shop from a middleman service. It’s made up of two bags; a cooler bag to keep your lunch fresh and cool during the day, and a small tote-like bag to fit it in.
It’s got a really cute design on the cooler bag with some DigiTama on it (maybe so we can keep some DigiTama cool before we eat them?) and the carry bag has the Digimon Adventure Tri logo (in English, not Katakana) and the child level (plus Tailmon) Digimon of the eight Digimon Adventure children. I thought Meicoomon would have been included but it’s not a big deal.
It’s a nice colour theme – a nice sky blue, similar to the chapter 6 poster.
Recently, I’ve been cooking onigiri and bringing it for lunch and these bags are perfect for it! The coolerbag can fit two onigiri and one banana and the coolerbag fits perfectly in the carry bag (I put my pieces of nori at the bottom of the carrybag.
The carry bag would be perfect if it had room for one of those drink bottles that they’ve been selling.
This item may be harder to get a hold of since it’s from a popup shop but I would highly recommend trying to find a proxy service which does pick ups or has one they’re reselling as this is a useful item and a fun and useful piece of merch!
As with last time, I have attached related images to this post!

Just finished recording Appmon and V-Tamer discussions, and Digimon Savers predictions! Sending out on Patreon now!
We just finished recording our Final Appmon discussion where we look at the series overall. We also recorded this week’s V-Tamer coverage (Volume 7) and, of course, Jay’s predictions for Digimon Savers episodes 25 and 26!
We’ve sent out the raw and the notes for backers!
End of Digimon Universe Appli Monsters Survey results
We will be discussing these in depth in our Appmon final overall discussion episode we’re recording shortly! I just thought it would be good to get a post together about it first!
Up first, we asked people in our ‘Best of Digimon’ survey (which is still running, by the way) what their favourite seasons of Digimon were. Since the survey is still running, I’ll only go over the Appmon-related bits.
191 people have completed this survey so far and all questions were compulsory.
Amazingly, Digimon Universe Appli Monsters was the third favourite overall to Digimon Adventure and Digimon Tamers. Only 6 people (3.1%) thought that it was their least favourite season making it the third least least liked season.
Haru ranked as the third most popular leader, again, behind Tamers and Adventure and only 10 people (5.2%) said that Haru was their least favourite leader.
The last question on the currently running ‘Best of Digimon’ survey that relates to Appmon is the ‘favourite episode’ question.
While 55% of respondents hadn’t watched it yet, 4.7% didn’t remember their favourite episode and 10.5% didn’t remember their least favourite episode, the majority of the ones said that their favourite episodes were Episode 52 “Our Singularity” (14 or 7.3%), Episode 19 “The Net Ocean in a Big Pinch!” (11 or 5.8%), or 45 “The Big Clash!? Gatchmon vs Gatchmon” (9 or 4.7%) and their least favourite episodes were 26 “I am the Protagonist!? Encounter with Gatchmon (16 or 8.4%), 30 “Dokamon’s Love!? Gourmet App” (7 or 3.7%), or 29 “Buddies no More!? Gatchmon’s Run Away From Home” (4 or 2.1%).
Only one person agreed with me that Episode 4 was the best episode of Appmon! Outrageous! You can find my ranking here!
Next up, is the survey I put up yesterday which is about favourite characters in Appmon. 31 people responded.
Haru is the most popular character at 41.9% and Eri is second at 25.8%!
For least favourite, Yuujin takes the crap cake at 39.3% and Astra was the second least favourite at at 32.1%. The least least favourit was Eri. My girl.
For favourite buddy Appmon, Hackmon wins with 38.7% and Offmon comes in second at 32.3%!
For least favourite, nobody picked Gatchmon! However 40% said Musimon was their least favourite and Offmon came second again with 26.7% with Dokamon coming close behind.
For Non-Appli Drivers, I forgot to put Knight so we have a fewwww Knight entries in the ‘Other’ option.
However, of course, the favourite non-appli drive character is ‘Caught up man’ who won the question with 41.9%. Ai also did suprisingly with 19.4% and Knight had a combined count of 16.1%. I’m happy to see UMA Hunter J up there. Hajime also did well with 9.7%.
As for least favourite, Watson got 64.5% and Caught Up Man and Hajime were tied for second at 12.9%.
As for OUR favourite characters as specified by us in our coverage, listener Noam put together a count which I put together in graphs yesterday! You can find this here!
Alright! On to recording our summary episode.

Play by Play Palmon
In this week’s episode, May was talking about the glory of the Play by Play Palmon.
May has a huge soft spot for ugly or strange looking Digimon stuff.
Remember; we have two surveys running currently – one podcast blog one and one Digimon one!
Just a quick reminder that we have two surveys that are still running.
- Firstly, we have our ‘Best of Digimon’ survey. Please complete this and spread it to your DigiFan friends if you haven’t already!
- Secondly, we have the survey running about what content people would like to see on this blog! Because of this survey we’ve already started posting more content to our blog!
