There's not much to the story of this episode beyond confronting Craniamon for the first time. Gotsumon makes a return that derives some humor from the fact that he has lost his memories, though I would have preferred Cherrymon to lead the group to King Drasil. Craniamon is definitely shown to be a powerful opponent, effortlessly repelling the mega level digimon, though I would have done without the image of Marcus repelling him. Perhaps it's a subjective thing, but the thought of a human beating back a huge monster like that just does not ring true. In a superhero comic, maybe, but not in the Digimon franchise.
The Royal Knights all look great at the end, and unlike in "Frontier" we are given a better idea of what their role in the Digital World is. Got to have the surprise ally jump in at the last minute, which mirrors the end of "Enter the Dark Masters", but will be shown to have a twist, one of the better ones of the series.
Of course, one cannot go without mentioning the big revelation: that King Drasil is actually Spencer Damon or so it seems. It's actually very obvious that King Drasil is possessing him in some fashion, a detail that will be expanded upon later. Maybe it's just me, but Marcus' reaction to seeing Spencer feels off. There isn't sufficient shock, just an awkward blend of disbelief and joy.
