I guess the reason Forever Knights put Ben in an ideal situation to remove the Omnitrix from him is because the Omnitrix Prototype’s failsafes work accondingly to the perception of danger Ben is having in that moment. So if Ben feels in danger, the failsafes activates. We can sense the danger even unconciously, that’s why they can’t just put him in a pharmaceutical coma, they need to create a virtual world in his mind where he feels safe and invincible.

I love how Gwen’s magic trick in the first fight in the dream world implies one of two things. Either 1: Ben subconsciously thinks Gwen’s magic is really powerful and cool, and possibly that she’s better at it than she actually is, which is actually kind of sweet. Or 2: The Forever Knights portray Gwen’s magic as more powerful than it actually is because they’re slightly scared of it, which is really funny.

Personally, with the 2nd, outside of the dream episode, the knights really are more of a joke then an actual threat. Even in the ultimate kevin arc where ben just mows them over like they're nothing.

Ditto is one of my favorite aliens, definitely in my top 3. Paulsen basically playing him like he's an immature 90s cartoon character makes him really fun to watch, especially when his clones disagree despite all being the same Ben. He's one of the few aliens where I can't really pick which design I like best. I really prefer his elasticity and stretchy cloning animation, as well as his color scheme, from the OS, but I like his vaguely feline design from OV is really cute. If OV Ditto retained his OS animation quality, and his height, I feel like he'd be objectively perfect as an alien Also, the episode answers why Ben wouldn't make an army out of Dittos. Cuz he learned in this episode if you kill one Ditto, they all die. As opposed to Echo Echo, whose clones appear to be purely disposable. Ditto is still more fun though, despite Echo Echo having more of a powerset

[@ghostspider2056]

I'm sure you realised Ditto actually appeared in 3 episodes in the classic series.

[@jaycethebigguy]

I love Ditto splitting himself to make copies it adds to his character and the laser thing just makes him feel like a weaker echo echo

[@agentmaryland1239]

I prefer the stretchy ripping themselves new clones. It gives you that sensation that Ditto is 100% organic in nature the way he just breaks off more clones. With the laser rip it just feels like he's a machine. Also, just a theory, maybe the stranded Ditto couldn't make more clones because the Omnitrix was technically trying to shut off due to the time limit thing. None of the other Ditto's made more clones either, so maybe if the Omnitrix is unable to successfully revert its host back to their normal form with such a function active, it limits the capable use of the current alien?

[@alanpena8643]

22:38 Yeah that never made sense when Eon mentioned it in Race Against Time. Probably just something that applies to that Universe/Timeline’s Omnitrix. If it was “to keep the alien lifeforms from overwhelming and taking over Ben” (what Eon said) then every transformation in the watch would have a Ghostfreak situation going on. Probably just that that Universe/Timeline’s Azmuth isn’t as smart as the other ones and couldn’t make an Omnitrix that didn’t have that problem.

[@lukeario9542]

Ditto has always been my favourite alien, just so much fun with a great personality and self cloning has always been a superpower I've loved.

[@federicoarmada8775]

24:03: That sounds like something you would start a movie with: Hundreds of Dittos fighting an army in some random planet, and at the end of the battle all of them turn into this one guy with a bracelet.

[@thomasoreilly857]

11:07 I remember doing that boss on the DS as a kid. It took forever because the game never adequately said that you had to wreck the turbines THEN attack him, I spent a good hour once just attacking the turbines and just waiting for something to happen. Anyway yeah, this concludes today's lecture on Ben 10 Game Design, tune in next week for that big plant boss that was super randomly in there for some reason and had a genuinly funny and in-character polaroid for when you beat it.

[@rileydavidson180]

I mean, as a kid I felt like Enoch's huge head dropping down was a decent indicator to attack him

[@neeljavia2965]

Same here. I was actually stuck at the point where you have to transform back into Ben and then fight.

Ditto is one of my faves; I do like how they refined his design in Omniverse (too much green tho) And that laser splitting effect is just to cut costs, so animating him physically splitting is far superior.

I remember watching these two episodes from my childhood. Perfect Day felt really confusing when watching it as a kid. As for Divided We Stand, I remember enjoying it due to Ditto & Gwen using magic as a kid

[@zaquhe]

I absolutely loved Ditto as a kid. I'm sad he was only used twice more until Omniverse. It's also characters like this that makes me wish I understood voice actors as a kid. If little me had known Ditto was voiced by the original Raphael, I (he? what's the proper wording here?) would have been ecstatic!

Hope the boom goes well

[@tomsimpkins1211]

Man all the Animo episodes are great, in the OG series he's such a ham and I love it. In Omniverse he just feels like another mad scientist, whereas in the OG he's almost like some nutjob tinkering in his garage, that just so happens to also be a mad scientist.

[@fragile4408]

[@danielsurvivor1372]

23:07 Preach brudda, that's why I think Gwen's magic wasn't as fun as Ben's aliens, lack of versatility while not being op. AF onward Gwen kinds got completely opposite issue where magic is just SO versatile it never feels like it has any rules or limitations, it's like "if magic/anodite powers are sooo good, why Gwen isn't always winning"?

[@codiplee47]

I like the stretchy, rubbery cloning texture of Ditto more so than the laser stuff in Omniverse, but I honestly think Ditto is outmatched compared to the likes of Echo Echo or that one alien in the reboot where each clone is stronger than the last. 17:40 : I think the pinky toe is the worst toe to stub since it's small and sensitive.

[@damian._.grmaden]

"Despite Ben getting a new episode in this alien " 🤣🤣🤣

[@garg4531]

I agree that the rubbery effect works best for Ditto, especially when you compare it to Echo Echo Ditto is an organic being splitting himself into duplicates while Echo Echo is a silicon-based lifeform creating copies of himself, so it goes with how they work and also helps to distinguish them

[@danielsurvivor1372]

22:35 Is it just me who thinks, atleast for prototype, the simplest explanation would just be "The reason there's a timeout function is for security reasons, incase criminal or some random kid ever gets a hold of Omnitrix, I wouldn't want just some any random shmuck to have master control and since I stopped making weapons after Askalon, I also made prototype omnitrix timeout feature not work in case of danger since I'm not bloodthirsty and don't want users to just die" Very simple explanation tbh, kinda like how "the reason it's white looking in classic is cuz that's the scratchcard"
