Digimon Adventure Goes Full Terminator in Newest Episode

But these are a number of of the instantly obvious connections.

The actual parallel between the 2 franchises comes while you actually begin to dig into Andromon and Guardromon. The two machines are revealed to be programmed a sure manner. Guardromon finally ends up rebooting and its programming alters to guard Mimi, and thus it finally ends up preventing the Andromon — a machine that has been tasked with eliminating all intruders with excessive prejudice.
