Synopsis

Terramon, Pyron's older brother, comes to Earth to check on Pyron's progress. Knowing Terramon will send him home in disgrace once he finds out how little progress he's made, Pyron decides he needs help. He has his Darkstalkers contact Harry and the renegade Darkstalkers, and explains to them that if his brother takes over, things are going to become very unpleasant. They agree to help him, and will pretend that Pyron is successful, with the plan being that this will make Terramon go away. Terramon is beamed over, but it turns out he is interested in humans -because he wants to eat them! He thinks they'd make a dandy food supply. He tries to eat Harry, but Pyron stops him and has him and his forces beamed back to their own ship.

As his brother won't just give up, Pyron's forces are beamed over to Terramon's ship. They are captured by Terramon's forces, and soon Harry and Felicia are the only ones left. Harry climbs into a computer, and starts making some adjustments. He tells Felicia to cause a distraction.

She and the other Darkstalkers attack, but Harry then does something that causes him and the rest of his allies to be teleported back to Pyron's ship. Anakaris is then teleported over to Terramon's ship, and uses his power to take it, along with Terramon and all of his his minions, back in time. They travel millions of years into the past, and as Anakaris returns to the present, Terramon is confronted by a hungry dinosaur.

Pyron has everyone beamed off his ship, and personally thanks Harry for his help. Harry asks if this means the war is over, but Pyron says no -it was just a truce. Tomorrow, he'll be back to world conquest. He has him and Felicia beamed off his ship. Ship says that Terramon is gone, and Pyron is also pleased that they've also gotten rid of Anakaris. However, Anakaris then arrives back from the past, and drops down right on top of Pyron.

Notes

-This is the final episode of the series. Out of the three American cartoons aired in the mid '90s which were based on Capcom properties, Darkstalkers is seen as the least successful one because it was the only one not to get a second season.

-It also apparently didn't last long in syndication either -from what I've read, it only aired reruns for about 4 months, at which point it was pulled.

-Terramon's voice actor, Dale Wilson, also voices Bigfoot.

-The TV Harry has in his room is now gigantic.

-Demitri is seen crossing his fingers when Pyron tells Felicia she has his word, but nothing comes of this -probably because Pyron has everyone beamed off of his ship before Demitri could get the chance to do anything.

-It is not clear what the plan was for when everyone is beamed to Pyron's ship. Presumably the Darkstalkers were meant to destroy the things Ship mentions, but it's never actually said. Harry's plan is something he comes up with once he's been beamed over there.

-Terramon's minions are seemingly robots -when Pyron destroys one of them, some springs are seen coming out of the explosion.

Errors

-When Pyron is seen watching Anakaris, the background behind Anakaris is completely dark.
-The guy who throws Raptor out overlaps part of the door frame.
-When Rikuo says "you may begin now, I'm here", his mouth doesn't move for the "now, I'm here" part.
-Rikuo's back and butt are colored yellow instead of green during this shot.
-Victor's eyebrows are colored yellow instead of gray during this shot.
-When Morrigan says "he's telling the truth", her sleeves are skin colored instead of red.
-During this shot, Pyron's lower body is missing! It comes back when he moves.
-During this shot, Terramon is colored green instead of yellow.
-Several times throughout the episode, Bishamon can be seen. He's clearly not meant to be there, as when Victor does a roll call, he doesn't call out Bishamon (despite Bishamon being in shot!).
-During this shot, the fingers on Raptor's left hand are colored blue instead of yellow.
-Then, when Victor shocks Raptor, the fingers on Raptor's right hand change color from yellow to blue. The finger colors on both hands then keep flashing blue and yellow for the rest of the shot.
-When Terramon grabs Harry, the wrong background is used.
-When Demitri drinks, there's no liquid in his glass.
-When Terramon puts Harry down, the wrong background is used again.
-The color of the table Victor picks up changes between shots.
-Morrigan's sleeve is skin colored during this shot. The fur around Jon's left eye is colored gray instead of white.
-When Harry says "boy, he was really steamed!", his eyebrows are colored black instead of yellow.
-When Victor does the roll call, the fur on the top of Jon's head is colored white instead of gray.
-Felicia's tail is skin colored instead of white during this shot.
-When Ship says "I can't protect you over there", Demitri's mouth opens and closes as if he's speaking the line.
-The schematics of Terramon's ship do not look anything like what the ship actually looks like.
-Morrigan's sleeves are skin colored again during this shot.
-When Terramon blasts Victor, his beams are initially colored yellow, but when the beams hit Victor, they're colored orange.
-The energy around Victor is colored orange, but when he falls down, it's colored yellow.
-During this shot, you can see Anakaris, but he's meant to be on Pyron's ship at this point.
-During this shot, Raptor's eye colors are reversed.
-Anakaris can be seen again during this shot.
-When Demitri passes Raptor's head to Jon, Bigfoot's eyes are drawn more human-like instead of black.
-Anakaris is seen teleporting back to Pyron's ship with everyone else, even though he was meant to be on Pyron's ship already.
-Harry's eyebrows are colored black instead of yellow during this shot.
-Part of Anakaris' chin keeps changing colors from yellow to blue during this shot.
-Harry's eyebrows are colored black instead of yellow again during this shot.
-Ship usually emits a blue light when he speaks, but he doesn't when he says "yes, things are looking up... uh-oh".
-Anakaris seems to be drawn far too big during the final shot of the episode.
