Ep. 3: Genius Touma Returns to Fight DemiMeramon and Team Up with Masaru

3

Masaru struggles to damage a DemiMeramon due to its low mass, preventing DNA Digivolution. A blond youth named Touma Norstein arrives, erasing witnesses' memories and capturing the creature. Touma, a genius who returned from DATS's Austria branch after six months, clashes with Masaru, leading to a boxing match. They soon discover more DemiMeramon spawned from flame sparks are attacking the city. Commander Satsuma orders Touma and his partner Gaomon, who digivolves into Gaogamon, to engage the enemies. While Touma fights, Masaru suffers self-doubt and flees. Inspired by an old fisherman fanning flames, Masaru realizes he can strengthen Agumon’s fire. He confronts the remaining DemiMeramon, allowing Agumon to digivolve into Meramon. Masaru punches the new form, and GeoGreymon finishes the threat. Despite their victory, both are dismayed to learn they must now work as partners.
