At one point in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Bowser Jr. announces an extremely large coin reward for catching Mario and Luigi, which appears to be simply a random number to Western audiences.

However, this is actually intended to be a pun using goroawase, a type of Japanese phonetic matching, to sound like a sentence when spoken aloud. Different digits each have several ways they can be pronounced for the purposes of goroawase, but with a certain pronunciation, the number spells out "Bowser is the best".

Check out MetalGreymon (Virus) and MetalGreymon!

Did you know MetalGreymon (Virus) came first?

So, really, it should be MetalGreymon and MetalGreymon (Vaccine)

MetalGreymon (Virus) first debuted in the very first Digimon V-Pet back in 1997. Back then, attributes hadn't been introduced yet. However, as soon as attributes did get introduced, MeyalGreymon (Virus) received the Virus type. Its Digimon Reference Book entry says that it mechaniced more than half of its body and managed to survive many battles because of this. The entry of MetalGreymon (Vaccine) continues this point, mentioning that while extending their vital functions through remodelling, the flesh parts of MetalGreymon (Virus) are discolored blue due to not being able to hold up. On the other hand, MetalGreymon (Vaccine) are an evolved form of Greymon naturally.

The "healthy" Vaccine type MetalGreymon first debuted in the anime, being the "good" perfect evolution for Taichi's Greymon after the "bad" evolution to SkullGreymon.

This is why the first Digimon World, preceeding the anime, only has the Virus Type MetalGreymon.

The upcoming Digimon COLOR V-Pet also reflects this, with the color of the MetalGreymon sprite.

There's a fair share of MetalGreymon cards in the card game, but I wanna show off these two featuring their respective debuts.

This Alternative Art of BT8 MetalGreymon (virus) was part of the original V-Pet's anniversary.

This card of MetalGreymon from ST1 shows it in a dessert area that resembles the one we see MetalGreymon evolve in in the Digimon Adventure anime.

Having to listen to Lana Del Rey in your gay friends’ cars and pretend it doesn’t sound like an old man trying to read a poem on his deathbed

TVTropes gets made fun of a lot but it is a little astonishing how consistent that wiki's voice is. It's a great wiki to go to if you want to simulate having one specific autistic fifteen-year-old computer nerd infodump to you about any piece of media that exists. To be clear I am saying this as an overwhelmingly positive thing
