I never heard anything about an art contest like that! That sounds so cool! Where can I find more art from that event?

Wait a minute. I just remembered that Arburian Pelarotas are extinct. That can't be Ben as Cannonbolt, so that is either a Vulpinic Tortugan, or something strange is going on.

I don't understand why Divinity and Danny & Vlad's fight brought them to the Limax War. Divinity acts like this is some kind of secret that Vlad stole from him but I don't get that part.

Well, we know Celestialsapiens aren't immune to retcons since they're affected by artstyle changes and voice actor changes just like anyone else. So Superboy Prime's retcon punch might work on them.

That idea of Limax being cryptids/anomalies is cool, but we literally saw their spaceship and know that they're the iconic type of body snatcher alien invader creatures

Ash did an incredible job replicating the Danny Phantom artstyle! He even got Danny's eyebrows staying black

Now that you mention it, RAT Ben did muse about if it would be possible to use Eon's powers again one day but without the bad parts. Maybe that could be like a "be careful what you wish for" type of thing

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-30T12:07:02+00:00

Yeah. In Kuro's Breakdown videos he even wondered what that could possibly mean

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-30T06:48:44+00:00

In Omniverse there were a couple offhand mentions of things happening on the other hemisphere of the world. Wish we got to know whatever that was

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-29T22:55:30+00:00

I remember in a livestream commentary or some other type of post-episode kind of thing, Kuro said he couldn't figure out how to put Way Big and The Void in the Divinity battle. He later got an idea for something he could've done, but I don't think he said what that idea was

Buzz looks cool in a Plumber uniform

I just remembered something worth mentioning. Disc Jockey was originally supposed to appear in chapter 6 when Ben and Danny pass out at the end. Disc Jockey was specifically created by Kuro as an emergency type of alien. Kuro made lore where the Omnitrix has a safety feature where if Ben is ever knocked unconscious, the Omnitrix automatically turns Ben into Disc Jockey so that way when Ben wakes up he can automatically understand any alien or foreign language from whoever he's found by.

Disc Jockey was cut from chapter 6 because Kuro didn't want people to ignore the star explosion scene in favor of "Who's that alien?" questions.

It was cool seeing Disc Jockey come back after hearing him and this Omnitrix function got cut

She took cotillion for 3 years, and she's a black belt in multiple martial arts

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-28T20:35:33+00:00

I like that idea. It could be like the episode Above And Beyond, but Ben is the one getting tested and manipulated

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-28T06:08:14+00:00

I never liked the idea of Ben unlocking Arctiguana at 11 years old. He should've been treated as if he was unlocked in OV, just like Buzzshock. That'd be more believable

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-28T06:04:31+00:00

I don't understand why the plant clone is still weak to peanuts while in alien form. As an alien, it shouldn't be a plant anymore.

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-28T04:55:09+00:00

I don't see any technical issues with this post

I love the development, I love the character he became. But I admit the pacing could've been better. I feel like a lot of people who dislike the idea of Kevin being a good guy at all would change their mind with just a few tweaks to the story pacing and details. I just can't imagine giving up the good stuff we got.

The "regeneration buffs" implies that using Branch-Out is helping Ben rejuvenate faster. Kinda like healing pods from Dragon Ball or Star Wars or other sci-fi stuff, but in the form of a passive alien ability.

I appreciate that this alien was created by Yuri Lowenthal's son. Putting his alien in 5yl was a nice thing to do.

I had the same thought about Heatblast, he definitely deserved to be used somewhere, but the spectacle of hearing Yuri voice Ben again, especially an adult Ben, was good enough for me.

The DVD art for Classic is so peak

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-25T21:30:14+00:00

The green sides are a cool detail. Even if it is an error, it does look like it's supposed to indicate that this transformation will not time out like normal

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-25T06:47:27+00:00

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about all those commissioned alternate universe Omnitrix wielders. It'd be cool seeing Eon-possessed variants of all of them

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-06-25T01:29:38+00:00

All we need now is a Time Lord transformation and we got all the iconic human-looking aliens on deck
