Rate Gekkomon's Perfect evolution.

>>23804712
Temu MetalGreymon out of 10

>>23804712
legitimately one of the worst perfects of all time. His evolution sequence is well done but the design itself is derivative and underdesigned trash. MetalGreenmon. There are some really low tier designs like mini/atmadakechimon and the fucking pencil and both of those designs are better for this.

>>23804712
Bad, it should have build from Armalizamon, most perfects especially lead Digimon tends to be that.

DMW3 Japanese's OP Miracle Maker is so catchy, so I'll post it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa2gKUuxhSU

Maybe I'm speaking too soon, but I also don't think there's going to be a Digital World in this series. I don't see what it would add to the narrative that's being built so far, unless it were to end with the creation of a Digital World where Digimon could survive without e-Pulse.

I also don't think dark evolution is a thing in BeatBreak, at least not in the sense that it leads to an alternate evolution path or form like with SkullGreymon, Mugendramon, ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode, or even fallen angels. It seems more like with Raito's case where it follows the standard evolution line, but it's just uncontrollable.

That being said, I think Gekkomon's Ultimate is going to debut as being uncontrollable, Tomoro's "black e-Pulse" feels like it's building up to something, and an evolution is what one would typically expect. But I also like the theory that Gekkomon's Ultimate is going to be themed after Date Masamune, maybe "DaimyoLizamon" to follow MonarchLizamon, and also the idea that Murasamemon/Habakirimon becomes his sword to "complete" the evolution. But I think Kyou would have to be removed, permanently coldhearted or something to set off Tomoro to evolve Gekkomon, but then somehow come back and give his remaining e-Pulse to strengthen Gekkomon. And then Tomoro ("tomorrow") succeeds Kyou ("today") for the final arc.

gekko and armalizard are good. the new monodramon evolutions are good. I don't like the furries on the good team but the batman digimon is pretty cool. thought that rookie was just hackmon for a long time.

the animal rookie on the good team looks alot like maquinamon from liberator. same body shape and hands, having lore between these two species could be cool.

>>23805498
Yeah gekkomon is fun in a goofy way. Armalizamon is proportioned weird but I think im fine with it. The badger with guns champion looks like shit desu and the batmanmon is a bit bland. I hate the shieldmushroomon

I get where you're coming from, but it's named after Susanoo's sword and wears rearranged Susanoomon armour (right after they'd introduced Amaterasumon, too). That seems like evidence for the Tsukuyomimon theory.

What if his Ultimate has good/evil forms themed after different phases of the moon? Think GaoHunter and its transforming head gimmick.

>>23805509
ludomon has been around for years though. all of ludomon's evolutions are good individual designs but link together poorly. zubamon was generic bland linear digimon ( another sword type DNA level 7 line.)

before the TCG I wondered why we had so many level 7s but now that they are all functional game pieces its cool to see so many (often considered failed) experiments together in one place. Tialudomon looks more like a armor stage for gaomon than anything else in his line.

>>23805511
i hope metalgreenmon gets a mode change or something. We have not been getting good uses of prefixes in evolution in a long time. The original intent back in the 90s was to use prefixes multiple times . Time stranger did this pretty well but those designs were likely made around 2019 and 2020 which was a really excellent season for designs.

>>23805511
Maybe this is putting too much stock into a series only related by franchise, but Susanoomon was Frontier's "Super Ultimate" equivalent, its Omegamon/Paladin Mode/Crimson Mode. That's not to say that they can't reference other deities, but that I would expect a Digimon of the same naming tier and mythology to be treated somewhat similarly for BeatBreak. Amaterasumon is also similar.
KaiserGreymon + MagnaGarurumon = Susanoomon (technically all Legendary Spirits and Chosen Children)
Darumamon + Shishimamon = Amaterasumon
So I think Tsukuyomimon would follow suit and be Gekkomon plus another Glowing Dawn Digimon (or all of them), but having the natural Date Masamune Ultimate separately.

Final super perfect dna form will be beatomnimon and it will be theme’d around all of the glowing dawn members being in sync

Really late, but I want to get my thoughts in about ep 24 before the new one drops.
- Starting off the episode with the absolute direspect to Kyo from Proganomon really set the tone for the ep.
- Can't even be mad about the team being whittled down so quickly. Proganomon literally ran out of hidden drills by the time he got to Tomoro.
- Klay's flashback was some real mood whiplash. Watching him go from being mindbroken from killing, to seeing his mercenary work as demeaning really shows how far off the deep end he went.
- I still dislike the guy, and his escape was a little contrived, but Raito showing up to keep Tomoro from making the same mistake he did was nice.
- Gekkomon quoting ShineGreymon and Masaru's conversation prior to activating Burst Mode was a little odd, but I can't deny I enjoyed the reference.
- Maybe I'm reading too much into the cut from Tomoro's flashback to Edge of Limit kicking in, but it's really cool if he did help Asuka come up with the drumline for the song. With how much importance it's been given, I wonder if tidbits about it are going to come up in every arc.
- MonarchLizamon curbstomping Proganomon was fantastic. The only downside is going to be a tangent in the next post.
- Weird how Naito covering for Team 7 was an offhand mention. I guess they were pressed for time, but you'd think that would been elaborated on a little more.
- Granit's smile after Hotaruko offers him a job warmed even my jaded heart.
- The group hug at the end was pretty great. Tomoro literally dropping in was as funny as it was endearing.

>>23806226
>>23804712
As for MonarchLizamon... What the hell did they do to my boy!? I didn't really have any expectations after being pleasantly surprised by Arma, but they completely broke the rhythm they built up, pun intended. Being completely different from the Adult is one thing, but why did it have to be so horribly generic? The mecha samurai helmet with the bladed maetate is really inspired, but then the rest looks like deviantart fanart. The anon who said it seemed more like a Tuskmon evolution was right. The asemmetrical look with the majority of his limbs armored except for the right arm doesn't work. If they were going this route, why couldn't they make him more like Mecha Ghoulghilas, or go full Mecha Godzilla?
What makes it worse is that his fighting style fixes one issue I had with Arma, that being being completely melee-based as opposed to the atomic breath being throw in (though in hindsight, you can kind of see it as a reworking of Gekko's tongue attacks). I could be surprised, but I'm completely baffled at where they're going with the Ultimate from here.
>>23805511
>What if his Ultimate has good/evil forms themed after different phases of the moon?
He's already riffing MetalGreymon. Might as well become his own WarGreymon/BlackWargreymon as well. I can't see them riffing on Gammamon's gimmick so soon, but if they can handle it better, I'm all for it.

I don't think he did given how he treated them (Raito rubbishes the idea when Granit suggests it) not to mention the absolute loyalty he has to Klay. I did see a suggestion that he said Team Seven betrayed the pair of them and the kids got off that way. Unfortunately not the first time in the arc the show has had an episode end like that.

>Granit's smile after Hotaruko offers him a job warmed even my jaded heart.
They're truly made for each other as siblings and co-Cleaners, nothing further. They genuinely work so well together. I really hope we get to see Hotaruko explaining everything to her family. It would close her story perfectly IMO. Could even turn Okonomiyaki Kanuma into the Team Seven HQ once Raito resolves his problems. I'm disappointed they're out the story now, but am intrigued by the forthcoming GIFT arc.

>>23806228
>Being completely different from the Adult is one thing, but why did it have to be so horribly generic?
The problem is Kenji Watanabe admitted in an interview his last work for Beatbreak was designing Armalizamon. He has had no input since the end of the first arc. It's crazy they made Monarch such a mess when Rhamphomon and Azhdarmon looked really good.

Sorry for the double post, I fucked up the spoiler.

Do you think there will be any odd evolution lines?

Kaito
>Sunmon
>Coronamon
>Firamon
>Flaremon
>Apollomon

Kanada
>Hanumon
>Gokuwmon
>Shakamon

I don't want Rosemon AGAIN, and I already don't like that it's Lilamon being used, but it's the Savers guy so maybe it's an intentional reference. I'm just extrapolation the other evolutions
Honoka getting the line she does is just to copy Pendulum Z's natural evolutionary line.
I don't like Kaito getting an outright sun-themed line when he's supposed to be Fire and Mars, but there are parallels between Kyou and Kaito having similar Digimon, and the idea that both characters could be trying to represent the sun despite being designated other planets is interesting.
Kanada doesn't really have a good Child level, and I went with Shakamon over SeitenGokuwmon because the former feels like it matches his endgame boss vibe more, while SeitenGokuwmon is closer to the power of friendship. But SeitenGokuwmon is pretty new so there's that too.

Either way, all of them seem to have alternate Ultimates (Magneticdramon, Aegisdramon, Rafflesimon, GraceNovamon, SeitenGokuwmon). Aegisdramon is squinting a bit since it came out at the same time as Regalecusmon but never evolved from MarinChimairamon. But GraveNovamon being a sun+moon combination feels like something that could happen in some way. Maybe a character with a Lunamon will come along and take Honoka's place and make her extra pissed off.

Xros Wars was the weird one out on a different channel, and tri. got pushed out of its intended time slot by Dragon Ball Super being rushed out to capitalize on the success of Resurrection "F" in 2015, putting tri. into a series of six theatrical "movies" that are clearly just regular production episodes edited together.

>>23810054

>>23810086
It's Green/Black, Chiropmon is Purple. So if anything it would be a cross with Pristimon. Monarchlizamon was Green/Black as well. "Mutant" being its type makes me think the mystery girl from the visual and ED is involved.

>>23810065
there have 3 different opportunities to do dark evolution and the only time beatbreak has done something even similar is red veggiemon entirely reincarnating from an egg.
Gekkomon and Tomora have had the theme of laid back with a horrible anger streak and this just furthering their entire characterization

>there has been little evidence thats in possible in a world where the digimon is birthed from your soul not an outside entity influenced by your bond.
That's why I think the girl's involved with Gekkomon's evolution to Atratusmon.

they do dark evolution too often. i consider xross wars to be the bookend of the original era and the only season of the new era that has not done dark evolution is appmon, which has a dark team member. It was obvious that beatbreak would do it beacuse jujutsu kaiesen refrenced dark evolution in digimon

>>23810054
Yeah, that definitely seems more like a Chiropmon evo.

>Atratus: Latin for "clothed in black (for mourning)"

Well, that's foreboding.

>>23810065
Yeah, I can't see that happening. The show seems pretty intent on making the point that every evolution is their natural path, and the only difference is the emotions fueling the evolution. That said, there could always change for some plot-related reason, even if it seems unlikely now.

>>23810212
>The show seems pretty intent on making the point that every evolution is their natural path, and the only difference is the emotions fueling the evolution.
Agreed, as we saw with Raito and Azhdarmon. However, there's just something about Atratusmon that doesn't feel "right" to me.

>That said, there could always change for some plot-related reason, even if it seems unlikely now.
It has to involve the mystery girl. The fact the arc's visual only features her, Tomoro and Gekkomon feels a bit too obvious IMO.

>>23810054
Minus the moon motif on the cloak, the design is far more reminiscent of Chiropmon and NightChiropmon. The cloak with the ears looks like Chiropmon's, and the pattern on the face resembles the mark on Chiropmon's cloak. The proportions of the body looks like NightChiropmon, and there are no reptilian features implying any sort of connection to Gekkomon. The attack name Eclipse Impact also seems to represent the absence of moonlight or the obscuring of the moon, hinting at a LITERAL "dark" evolution. The Night in NightChiropmon already hints at a darkness theme for him.

My speculation is that it's a Jogress to emphasize the theme of family, and that Reina and Makoto won't reach Ultimate naturally. Instead, they might reach Perfect, and Jogress with MonarchLizamon. This lends more credence to the theory that a Tsukuyomimon is MonarchLizamon + Murasamemon/Habakirimon. Whether this means that Gekkomon gets a natural Ultimate is up in the air, but we have precedent with 02. But it allows all Glowing Dawn members to have moon-themed Ultimates by being tied to Gekkomon. What would a nocturnal mechanized mammal be like to represent Pristimon and Wolvermon?

>>23810546
Also to add onto this thought
Rose is sending two lackeys for this arc, and I wouldn't be surprised if their gimmick is Jogress. This could also be a way to work in Rafflesimon as Rose's Ultimate.

The fact that it was shown through a Bandai stream long in advance is what's curious about it, along with certain design cues. There's probably more going on than just the initial observation. Though Digimon is no stranger to debuting anime evolutions months in advance through other mediums.

Also worth noting that the only "new main" Digimon who debuted in their actual episodes in Tamers were Culumon and Megidramon. I can't for the life of me remember if Cyberdramon's line was made for Tamers and Tamers-adjacent material and I don't care enough to check.

If I had to guess, this isn't Gekkomon's true mega and is representative of either a new moon or the dark side of the moon. Gekkomon's true mega will be the bright side of the moon or the full moon, but whether it'll be named Tsukiyomimon is anyone's guess. The fact that it wears a cloak and so many of its details are hidden may be representative of the god Tsukuyomi himself, since it itself is a pretty mysterious figure as far as major Japanese deities go. Another possibility is that this is Gekkomon's true mega but he'll get a further mode. Gotta give the card game archetype a level 7 (also it better for vidya inclusions down the line.
>>23810227
>However, there's just something about Atratusmon that doesn't feel "right" to me.
One thing that bothers me on an instinctual level is that Atratusmon doesn't seem to mirror Tomoro's true self. Tomoro still has his rough edges, but he has a clear idealistic and heroic bent that Atratusmon doesn't reflect at all. I wouldn't be too surprised if Gekkomon's evolution ended up not feeling like a natural extension of his current evolutions, but not in the way Atratusmon is.

>>23810792
franchise peaked when hyper colloseium was releasing new monsters. Malomyotismon was in the card game first too.

I think revealing atratusmon early was due to the negative response to metalgreenmon

>>23810795
cyberdramon was pre-existing but justimon was tamers original

>>23810881
Thinking it over, Atratusmon's design actually makes a little sense. It could still possibly mirror Tomoro, in that his appearance doesn't match his true personality. We may even get some sort of inverse Demon situation, and he has a form sans cloak that looks more heroic.

That is not a priest's costume. Its just a cloak and a robe. It’s wearing grieves. It can very easily be some generic warrior garb. If anything, it may kind of look like a devout, the Final fantasy class with ears coming out of its hood. But thats it. I know digimon likes to subvert expectations between evolutions, but going from godzilla to a priest is too much.

What did schizoanonmon mean by this

I still haven't finished the last Tri movie but holy shit man, it doesn't get enough hate. Who the hell created Meiko and Meicoomon?

>>23814466
What blows my mind is how much of a wet fart it ends on, how evil Gennai just goes "Whatever, maybe I'll come back with [recognizable villain Digimon] next time, who knows?" and laughs and walks away and nothing is resolved. Meiko leaves the group. Everything returns to the status quo as if she was never there. Taichi's "growth" in tri. was something that he had already dealt with maturely in Adventure and 02 so it's not like it needed to be drama. The reboot meant nothing. Killing Leomon meant nothing. The 02 kids getting off-screened and ignored meant nothing.

It's not even like the themes of tri. are inherently bad themes to convey, but the problem is that they were ALREADY CONVEYED. They handle mercy killing in two back-to-back sections of 02, with Agumon being possessed by the Digimon Kaiser and in the movie that came out right after with Chocomon. Takeru and Hikari already mention in 02 that killing Digimon is something you sometimes have no choice in the matter, but tri.'s Hikari saying to Taichi "I'll go along with it but I'll never forgive you for it if we kill Meicoomon" feels completely out of place and just like they needed a line to say "She won't be a bargain bin brocon anymore (like we explicitly wrote her as), we solved the problem we created and it only required assassinating her character twice".

You can have characters lose their way over time due to circumstances. I can believe Taichi might be pigeonholed into a specific mindset of growing up just by being in Japanese society, the younger 02 kids were always more liberal with how they integrated Digimon and each other into their lives. But tri. feels like different staff members trying to recall "that Digimon series they liked" from memory (not 02) and writing some basic bitch plot points and characterization based on a loose outline of Adventure that they read after.

>>23814466
>>23814486
Even all these years later I still cannot fathom how Toei made such a fucking mess of tri. that we got six terrible movies as a result.

Meiko and Meicoomon are simultaneously infuriating and laughable. They're the centre of attention yet they're not allowed to have any responsibilities whatsoever.

>>23814691
>what makes tri even more embarassing is how good the movies after it are
But Kizuna and Beginning are shit.

>>23814695
compared to tri? nah

>>23814716
They're both terrible. They're better than tri., but that isn't a high bar to clear at all.

>>23814719
Kizuna is like a 9/10 and Beginnings is a 7 or 8
They are light years ahead of any of the anime movies save for the first two . OWG is a 10 and hurricane touchdown is an 8 or 9 .

>>23814745
I'd put the first Tamers movie up there.

Movie 1
Our War Game
Kizuna
Battle of Adventurers (this is the point where I think the parts I can criticize feel more notable, like the rushed ending or the Omegamon inclusion)

Then the others are varying ranges of mid, some have elements people might like but I don't think I'd call them amazing, though I want to rewatch The Beginning to see how I feel about it now.

>>23814754
Forgot to include movie 3, I greatly respect it for what it is even if it's pretty odd with the musical selection.

I disrespect movie 4 on a fundamental level even if doesn't have any noticeable plot issues.

>>23814755
>I disrespect movie 4 on a fundamental level even if doesn't have any noticeable plot issues.
You mean Revenge of Diablomon? I'm the same with Kizuna.

>>23814754
the tamers movies are fine I suppose, the hawaii movie is much better than the other one but idk i feel like both of these are the beginning of mid. OWG and Hurricane are both better than their respective series in terms of action and animation. Movie 0 is quite good too. The tamers movies arent better than tamers.

I like the x antibody movie a great deal too despite it being pretty flawed.

>>23814766
I like the Okinawa one for really capturing what makes Okinawa what it is. It does atmosphere really well, you can find the point in the series where it takes place (it was directed by the series director after all), and Takato's cousin Kai is included towards the end of the series to affirm its canonicity. It's a summer adventure among the summer episodes (like the one where there's a class camping trip). But I feel like PC usage with real life Windows on the screen, Omegamon voiced by Agumon/Gabumon and being glazed by other characters (including Ruki) despite doing practically nothing but being a bus, and the "Mephismon was born from the data of Apocalymon" line are pure Adventure/OWG wank that don't further the plot or themes in any way. It brings down an otherwise solid movie and it feels like latent desperation from Bandai/Toei to say "Remember OWG? See stuff that makes you think of it in theaters again!", which is exactly why I disrespect Diablomon Strikes Back so much. The first 02 movie was original, it was ambitious, and even if I don't like it more than OWG, I respect it more than the movie that's a discount retread to the point it reuses animation, music, and jokes out of sheer desperation to recapture the magic.

>>23814757
What I enjoy about Kizuna is that even though it has some large references to OWG and Omegamon usage, it's not just OWG. It has strong connections to the first movie, its villain was inspired by kid who inspired Ken from 02, it actually USES its 02 characters instead of hiding them in embarrassment. Even for the people who are mad for most of Sora's development happening in a short OVA tied to the movie, I, as someone who ranted about Sora earlier, think she was written completely in character and given the best she could be given. Kizuna is nostalgia, but it manages to be original and stand as its own thing. The subplot with the burner phones, the themes, it feels original but also respectful.

>>23814908
>it feels original but also respectful.
In actual fact I find it the complete opposite of respectful.

>>23814908
Continued

My issue with most of the movies that follow Battle of Adventurers is that they feel like high budget filler episodes that don't really matter, they're out there to be out there. If you're a Ruki fan, you can like her movie. But watching it, I don't feel like it really adds to Tamers in a meaningful way. Same with the Frontier movie. It does some Human Digimon and Beast Digimon stuff, has a garish CGI climax, but it doesn't feel like I watched anything of substance, and I like Frontier. It's there because they always put out a movie. The Savers movie was... refreshing? But only in the sense that Savers doesn't look that good visually and it was nice to see good animation and resources put into it for once. But the plot felt even less impactful than the Frontier movie. X-evolution was a thing. No matter how many times I watch it, it's visually off-putting, runs too long especially with the horde scenes, and kind of a fever dream of things just happening with no explanation. And yes, I was familiar with the X-Antibody backstory material when I watched it.

>>23814914
tri. feels disrespectful to me, like it's empty nostalgia that has nothing to say other than "Remember this? We kinda do!". Kizuna feels more like "We know we fucked up with tri., here's our apology letter". The message isn't explicitly "nostalgia bad", but more like wallowing in empty nostalgia without substance as a form of comfort is. Eosmon is tri., a soulless husk of a butterfly, nothing like Morphomon. It's the feeling I get when I hear tri.'s version of butter-fly for the eighth time, the "REMEMBER?" feeling. I like how the characters sans Menoa recognize wallowing in soulless nostalgia is bad and escapism, but don't know how to turn the passion they feel for things in their past into something constructive for their future. The theme of Taichi being grounded by society and having certain expectations compared to his little sister dates back to the first movie.

Ep 25 has making me feel like chiropmon is getting a kamen rider inspired evolution for either perfect or ultimate with him being big fan of starmon

>>23814920
>Kizuna feels more like "We know we fucked up with tri., here's our apology letter".
And unfortunately that apology letter makes up for nothing in my opinion. tri. is abysmal and an outright disgrace to the franchise, Kizuna is better but still fundamentally bad.

>>23814920
In short

I think that it understood Digimon Adventure in all its mediums. Even the last evolutions as they rise towards what Kakudou himself verbalized as "the light of evolution" in his novelization of Adventure, the twinkling light that appears during evolution bank sequences, that feels like a deep cut. The same inspiration that created the lonely Digimon Kaiser is what inspired Menoa. There's a couple Wallace cameos, Meiko and Meicoomon even briefly appear which is more than they deserve. But they don't feel empty, they feel like pieces of the overall tapestry that is Adventure which Kizuna wants to represent.

When tri. says "the villain is Yggdrasil", it doesn't mean anything to me. It's just taking a Digimon thing and throwing it at another property without it meaning anything or amounting to much. Calling the other antagonist Homeostasis (the one that protects stability in Adventure) is shocking because that comes from Kakudou's novel, but it doesn't resemble Homeostasis from the series in the slightest. Using one of the songs from the drama CDs for a ringtone was an honest shock, but it feels just as out of place as the name Homeostasis. Gennai saying "Maybe I'll use Demon next time" is an empty reference. Nothing is said, everything is empty references, nothing means anything, it's just a nostalgia cashgrab by people who don't understand what they're referencing.

>>23814920
>I like how the characters sans Menoa recognize wallowing in soulless nostalgia is bad and escapism, but don't know how to turn the passion they feel for things in their past into something constructive for their future.
And this is why I hate everything that has come out of Adventure after OWG.

>>23814944
Agreed. Zero Two is where all the problems began. I consider everything after Our War Game to be an alternate continuity for the Adventure timeline.

>>23814949
>>23814944
Adventure's writing begins to have issues during the Tokyo arc

>>23814953
Yes because Zero Two was being worked on at the same time. God I hate that season.

>>23814954
>>23814949
the armor part of 02 was fantastic and then when you get to the jogress part they kinda lose the plot

pretty ironic that the d-3 is canon in the DC universe

>>23814954
I have a respect for 02 even if it's a notable drop-off from Adventure. It really does feel like a different series in how its executed, and what its themes are, and it loses a lot of things that I liked in Adventure in the process. But just because it's not the original and of a lower quality overall (barring maybe animation which gradually improved with each series) doesn't mean I outright dislike it. I think it's just hurt by poor execution and messy writing. The ideas are there and aren't inherently bad ideas, a lot of them are really interesting. I can see that there's Adventure in it.

But I also think that everything that followed the original Adventure movie is downhill, that movie was the highest peak. You didn't need to know a single thing about Digimon to understand and have it resonate with you. OWG is great, but it's something you need a lot of background material to get the most out of, and Mamoru Hosoda admits that he just handwaved a miracle into happening at the end because the movie was supposed to be pure fun rather than making a thematic narrative.

>>23814957
Zero Two lost the plot well before Jogress. Arguably it never had the plot at all.

>>23814960
>The ideas are there and aren't inherently bad ideas, a lot of them are really interesting.
I honestly wonder how Zero Two would have been received if it was never linked to Adventure and was its own season set in 2002. Probably similar to Frontier.

>>23814960
if they made cody and yolei more intresting characters than 02 would have worked better. these two are super undercooked compared to the adventure cast who all had their own strengths and weaknesses. I have a soft spot for davis and I think ken is on par with the adventure cast - lately we get these really milktoast protagonists who exist for their big personality digimon to play off of and while I don't think davis fits this bill he gets gets pretty close to it

>>23814965
Ideas I like include
>Ken as a character and concept, though I don't always like how his episodes are executed. I like that a highly intelligent Chosen Child slips into darkness and becomes the antagonist, that his past has his own trauma and that while he seems successful on the surface, he's deeply lonely by being at the top. Having a warped child like him be savable and try to atone for what he's done is a great story idea.
>Jogress being incorporated into the story as a way of connecting hearts, especially when it's used with Ken who was an antagonist
>The struggles Ken goes through in convincing others that he's changed, particularly Iori whose firm sense of right and wrong sometimes blinds him, and maybe Miyako to a lesser extent who had a crush on him until she found out he was the Kaiser. There's a real sense of having to earn everything from the ground up.
>The older, busier kids having to act in support roles to the elementary school cast who have more free time, but when they have time off like holidays, they can contribute more often, though I think it also makes them feel somewhat ineffectual by being unable to evolve early on, minus Koushirou who is MVP as usual.
>Digimon gradually becoming a worldwide phenomena that connects people, mirroring the real world rise in popularity
>The greater focus on teamwork being tied to this and Jogress
>The potential of children
>Saving the Digital World and treating it as an afterschool hobby and saving it territory by territory is totally different to being trapped in it and looking to go home, but I really like how it lead the new kids to being overly idealistic and thinking they could get by without seriously fighting back
>Daisuke's emotional struggle with having to potentially kill Agumon early on (plus Chocomon in the movie, but that's more feeling grief for Wallace's struggle) and how this translates into him having fewer gripes later than Miyako and Iori

>>23814977
02 also might have been improved if the two new characters jogressed with each other instead of with kari and TK. I kind of like the generational torch passing aspect too. If we got a 03 than Cody likely would have been on the team as the eldest memeber along with 3 or 5 younger characters.

I wonder what the fuck was going on with Ken's older brother that is a pretty intresting plot point that never got explored. Is ken's older brother analog youth maybe? I have heard people theorize that izzy is analog youth

>>23814920
>Kizuna feels more like "We know we fucked up with tri., here's our apology letter"
That's basically Kizuna's opening nostalgia bait fight scene that is out of place with the rest of the movie, even has Taichi wearing "tech" goggles once again made by Koushiro.

>>23814979
>Cody likely would have been on the team as the eldest member
I can't even imagine a sequel to 02 where the sole returning team character is best described as "beige incarnate."

>>23814977
But to also add on, I don't like 02's Band-Aid writing (or whatever I've called it before) where they add on plot elements far too late in the story.

Takeru having a hatred for darkness and going paladin mode on Ken's ass isn't an inherently bad idea, it's just hilariously out of nowhere and not foreshadowed in the least, the narrator has to explain this 60 episode long trauma the episode it first comes up. If it was something that we saw build up over those previous episodes it would have been fine, but it wasn't.
The whole "We can't evolve to Perfect" mentioned 27 episodes in also feels way too late. Angewomon is in the opening and endings, she appears in the Konaka episode and in the movie. Hikari never mentions any abnormalities with this. The reason they weren't evolving was the dark towers, but apparently they gave up their Crests a year ago too so Perfect/Ultimate is impossible. Say it earlier and have those instances come off as unusual in the moment, it just feels like lazy writing and retcons otherwise.
Different writers write characters differently too. Daisuke goes from abrasive asshole to your best friend ever depending on who's handling him this episode. It's really noticeable.

>>23814979
If I remember correctly, they were sharing the Digivice, but after Ken went to the Digital World on his own, his brother got angry at him and it scared Ken. You can see a shot where he resembled what Ken would later manifest as his Digimon Kaiser outfit. But his brother was seen as the smart one, and he was killed in a random car accident one day. Oikawa (manipulated by Vamdemon) used this emotional trauma to foster the dark seed left in Ken by Millenniumon to turn him into the Digimon Kaiser and create more dark seeds that he could implant in other children, which Vamdemon uses to resurrect.

Personally I would have liked it if the dark seeds were Millenniumon trying to resurrect itself.

>>23814981
>3 turbo autists and cody as tard wrangler
imagine cody hanging out with the appmon or ghostgame team and just telling them not to be retards

>>23814982
on a conceptual level i think oikawa and the dark seeds are one of the weakest parts of 02. the idea of an older human villian is pretty cool but everything else is pretty terrible.

>>23814983
>imagine cody hanging out with the appmon or ghostgame team
He'd continuously tell Haru to stop hanging around evil androids, which will be ignored. And he would be the most boring victim in Ghost Game who everyone forgets about.

>>23814983
I love Oikawa in Japanese, he's so lame. I'll always remember him trying to come up with a new name for Hikarigaoka (I think it was called Highton View Terrace or something in the dub) that removes the "Hikari" (light) and replaces it with a word signifying darkness, so he's saying Yamigaoka and Darkgaoka. It's so dumb and cheesy but I like how it humanizes him even as a manchild. I like Archnemon and Mummymon, especially Mummymon not being that bad of a guy, he just loves Archnemon. Their deaths are brutal, and you feel bad for them, like they're not outright BAD, it's like watching Team Rocket get offed.

But I also have insane respect for what they tried to do with Iori's grandfather extending an olive branch to Oikawa and trying to befriend him and bond over the mutual grief and connection with Iori's father (Oikawa's best friend when they were kids). And how Oikawa is genuinely touched by this and starts to go for it, but Vamdemon's spirit NOPES and pulls him back. And in that same vein, I like how what finally stopped BlackWarGreymon wasn't simply beating him in a fight, it was all his talks with Agumon and also V-mon and Wormmon where he wants to know their perspectives. I like villains who are reasonable, I like when conflict resolution doesn't NEED to just be fighting the other guy until he dies or is sent flying away. That's one thing I really liked about The Beginning as well, when the goal was to get Lui to talk it out with Ukkomon, and that's what stops him. And Daisuke's "Well it wasn't much of a fight but I like endings like this too". It's coming to a mutual understanding.

>>23814990
>when the goal was to get Lui to talk it out with Ukkomon, and that's what stops him
And the single shot from Imperialdramon.

>>23814992
It's been a hot minute since I've seen it, but I remember it was about getting Lui there so he could talk to Ukkomon, person to Digimon, not as a mysterious and magical wish-granting creature, but as two personalities. And Ukkomon finally dropping the inhuman wish-granting creature personality, and talking to Lui like how friends would talk and make up. Because Lui had never spoke to Ukkomon as his friend, and Ukkomon only ever tried to grant Lui's wishes, they hadn't come to an understanding as individuals.

>>23814998
I don't think it's clear what exactly Lui is speaking to in Ukkospace, the actual Ukkomon or something created from Lui's memories. Same as his mother. Real or not, I guess it doesn't matter as long as Lui has closure.
Shit movie either way.

>>23814977
>Saving the Digital World and treating it as an afterschool hobby and saving it territory by territory is totally different to being trapped in it and looking to go home, but I really like how it lead the new kids to being overly idealistic and thinking they could get by without seriously fighting back
This is one of 02's key failings for me because it removes the jeopardy of the original. Episode 6 for me epitomises how badly it's treated not just by the new kids, but almost half of the original cast. Yes, I get it was the weekend and they didn't expect the Digimon Kaiser to be there. But with everything that's going on, surely treating the Digital World as a fun day out is rather ignorant. Even Palmon calls Mimi out on it (which as an aside does make me wonder how aware she was of what was happening; I know she's self-centered to a fault, but that lack of awareness is poor even for her).

>>23814982
>Different writers write characters differently too.
I found this to be the most egregious during the "second Digimental" arc (11-16). Nobody is written well in those episodes. I understand Digimon's focus episodes can have characters act exaggerated, but those felt uniformly bad to me. And I include Konaka's episode in that opinion as well, it left me with no impression at all.

>>23814990
yeah mummymon and archenemon being too much like team rocket makes me dislike them

the episode where agumon meets black wargreymon and he cant destroy a flower ( representing the crest of kindness) and then the 02 kids get picked up by the joe and izzy's older brothers and they talk about shinto nature spirits ( that we later saw in survival) was a really good 2 parter

blackwargreymon was a good villian and I like the nod to 'deep lore' with his dramon destroyers doing their job

>>23815002
is it weird if I see ukkomon as an anticalumon? this might be perspective being tilted by the cardgame

>>23815003
i would argue that as much as it being a facet of the writers its more the premise of the arc - they had to do the characters differently to give them different flaws to make them earn different digimentals

I am glad I am not an autistic Adventurefag

>>23815010
>its more the premise of the arc - they had to do the characters differently to give them different flaws to make them earn different digimentals
I'm aware of that, but it just doesn't work in the slightest. Miyako and Iori's episodes felt the worst.

>>23815025
yeah adventure didn't really have much of a forced episodic structure apart from earning evolutions and even then those didn't follow too much of a strict scheduled beyond getting champions rolling. 02 got forced into a very episode pattern - one of the few times toei tried to appease bandai imo

>>23814982
>but apparently they gave up their Crests a year ago too so Perfect/Ultimate is impossible.
This doesn't make sense and completely contradicts the ending of Adventure. They didn't need the crests. The crests were just symbolizing aspects of them as people. They can't give that up. 02 from the very start shit all over the original series.The original cast all regressed and became assholes too. Koushiro was probably the only one that stayed a good character. Mimi had an excuse that she was living halfway across the world. Everyone else? Assholes. Hikari and Takeru barely felt like mentors. All their experience didn't matter. They were on the same level as the new kids.

>>23815048
That's exactly what they used, their inner crests, not physical ones. They get the crests back later, and they aren't physical.

But, yeah, it's weird this is a plot element at all.

>>23815051
>inner crests
That's them just making shit up to justify sidelining the original cast.

>>23815053
Almost as good as "Digimon get weak when they're in the real world for too long."

What amazes me with Mimi is how much she contributes despite being in NYC. She does more than Sora or Jou did. She's even better in the World Tour than Sora who spends most of her spell in Russia being unable to talk to Russians or almost falling to her death.

>>23815051
>But, yeah, it's weird this is a plot element at all.
It only exists so the original kids don't just walk in and flatten the Kaiser immediately. It's easily the most ridiculous part of Zero Two. And there was a lot of ridiculousness in it. Like >>23815054.

>>23815049
I love this guy
The absurdity of his motivation
His partner with low self-esteem
His sheer passion
When he sacrificed himself to save everyone

>>23815056
I can't even be fully mad at this because it's a continuation of Adventure's favorite boogeyman buzzword "distortions", its carrot on a stick writing. It was this, no actually it was this, no it was in fact this, no the distortions were caused by this the whole time, but actually in 02 the distortions were still in fact there.

>>23815056
>What amazes me with Mimi is how much she contributes despite being in NYC. She does more than Sora or Jou did.
She was lucky time zones didn't exist until later in the show.

>>23815060
She was what, 13/14 hours behind the rest of them (depending on the time of year)? And yet she still went to the Digital World one day to feed YukimiBotamon marshmallows because she could.

>>23815054
I thought this was a good gimmick. I also really like how later in 02 when they go to higher levels they revert to below rookie level for awhile- that is a great worldbuilding element ( luffy used this in one piece lol )

>>23815139
It's a sensible gimmick when everyone around the world is about to have a Digimon partner. And all the sequels afterwards would have been over before they began.

>>23815139
They did this in Adventure as well, like when WarGreymon beat Mugendramon and reverted to Koromon, or after first evolving to MetalGreymon and then being sucked into the vortex, or with Angewomon reverting to Nyaromon (I think? It might have been Plotmon). They even did it in Kizuna after Omegamon's evolution comes undone and he reverts all the way down to Koromon and Tsunomon. I like the idea that the higher the evolution level, the greater the energy expenditure and blowback.

Beatbreak isn't taking that approach even though it's heavily based on using e-Pulse, and Digimon that run too low or take too much damage revert to Baby I. It's weird that Baby II just gets skipped over outside of silhouettes.

>>23815171
>Beatbreak isn't taking that approach even though it's heavily based on using e-Pulse, and Digimon that run too low or take too much damage revert to Baby I. It's weird that Baby II just gets skipped over outside of silhouettes.
And oddly enough the episode that's just aired has shown the opposite.

You literally ram an egg into a Baby I and poof, here's your Child Digimon back.

Been watching dubbed tamer recently. Glad they got Larry Davis and Jerry Seinfeld to write for it.

But seriously, they really did well with the dubbed humor for a kid

How was Beatbreak's 26th episode?

>>23815295
i kinda wish japan would do a season inspired by the dub, sort of like a Superhuman Syber Squad to SSSS Gridman situation . I miss the goofy voices and the amount the party argues with each other in the dub , japanese kids are way too respectful to each other compared to the dub kids - i dont care for the censorship of course.

Trigger presents colon 02 with tai and davis paling around like simon and kamina; written by the panty and stocking bitchwhores fk yeah

>>23815171
I liked how much we saw baby and in-training in 02 , adventure did it first but not nearly as often

ya'll are right that being in the real world sucking power from a digimon is kind of a contradiction with so many people worldwide getting digimon. They would need the worlds to merge to support that which is kind of the opposite of the way the movies went

Wouldn't put it past Toei to reboot Adventure as an episodic goofball comedy. But with more Taichi.

>>23815431
how impossible would it be to keep the best parts of the original adventure (character range, stakes) with the best parts of colon( action, loving and knowing the iconic cast )? not that I want more adventure ( though doing colon 02 would be a good way around this) but we need deeper characters - the adventure cast has alot of difficulties and trauma and get stuck together and we haven't really seen that again since frontier - this makes the full range of romance, comedy , action, dark and holy evolution hit harder.

New card.

>>23815708
Anyone think it's weird that we haven't gotten many new designs made for the anime with Beatbreak relative to other Digimon (barring tri. and maybe the original Adventure which was pulling from other sources for most of its run)

Based on what we've seen, we've only gotten like 14 new Digimon from it so far, and that's counting the evolutions that debuted in the TCG.

>>23816041
they need a better designer if metalgreenmon is what they are putting out.

TS had a shockingly low number of new digimon as well.

File: kekkomon silhouette.jpg (674.1 KB)

>>23816041
I think it's 15?

>6 for Tomoro (from Baby I to Ultimate and potentially another Ultimate)
>2 for Reina (Pristimon & Wolvermon)
>2 for Makoto (Chiropmon & NightChiropmon)
>3 for Kyo (Cougarmon, Murasamemon & Habakirimon)
>2 for Monodramon (Rhamphomon & Azhdarmon)

I can't think of any other brand new ones? Only ones which haven't appeared in the anime before.

>>23816144
I forgot Ramphomon and Azhdarmon, make it 16. I'm also counting Hyemon, though it has two designs but I don't think that matters too much.

To use Tamers and its adjacent stuff as an example,
>Gigimon > Jyarimon > Guilmon > Growmon > MegaloGrowmon > Megidramon / Dukemon > Dukemon: Crimson Mode
>BlackGrowmon > BlackMegaloGrowmon > ChaosDukemon
>Growmon (Data) > MegaloGrowmon (Data)
>Relemon > Pokomon > Renemon > Kyubimon > Taomon > Sakuyamon > Sakuyamon: Miko Mode
>Youkomon > Doumon > Kuzuhamon
>Kyubimon (Vaccine) > Taomon (Vaccine)
>Rapidmon (Perfect) > SaintGalgomon
>Impmon > Beelzebumon / Beelzebumon: Blast Mode
>Culumon
>12 Devas (including a different Andiramon)
>Mephismon > Gulfmon
>Paomon > Xiamon > Labramon > Siesamon / Dobermon > Cerberumon > Anubismon
>Ketomon > Hopmon > Monodramon > Strikedramon > Justimon (Accel Arm / Blitz Arm / Critical Arm)
>Locomon > GrandLocomon
>Parasimon

Not counting stuff like BlackGuilmon, MedievalDukemon, or X-Antibodies which came out after the Tamers era. Or the D-Reaper and its many forms for that matter since they're technically not Digimon. The Cyberdramon line (barring Cyberdramon itself) is a little weird, but Brave Tamer is Tamers-adjacent enough that I think they count. Even the non-anime Armor Evolutions should count for the 02 era I think since they were made at the same time as the main 02 Digimon and designed based on them.

>>23816176
>Hyemon
Oh yeah, I'd completely forgotten about them.

Tamer question.

I get dobermon was from the sovereigns. Whats up with his partner? Who is she? Is she a guest character from another universe like ryo. Also, how did Dobermon give the trip the ability to go mega?

>>23816233
Alice was the granddaughter of one of the Wild Bunch, the human programmers who created the original digimon

iirc the theory Jenrya had was that when they were in the Digital World they became digital beings and that's why they were able to Matrix Evolve. And once they got back to the real world they lost that ability because they were flesh and blood again.

We don't know if that was actually the case, just that somehow Dobermon was able to help them by sacrificing his own life.
And for whatever reason Ryo didn't need Doberman (maybe the Sovereigns sent more than one?)

>>23816233
Adding onto what >>23816254 said, Konaka himself posted on his blog how she seemed like a mysterious person who wasn't there, like she was actually dead or something, but that's not how the character was necessarily intended to be written, it's just his conspiracy brain at work when he looks at her in the episode. I actually got the same impression, but that's really all you can say about it. What would it mean if she was dead? It doesn't follow up on it. The implications that it would raise are too vague to say anything meaningful for the story. It's never explored in any way. How would it even make sense?

It's an idea that's more interesting as a tease than it is in functional use, which I think is Konaka's specialty, but also his weakness. The questions and mysteries tend to be more interesting than the answers. The Wild Bunch themselves were more interesting when it was being hidden from us, like they were a secret group in the past that did something that's been covered up, and now they're being tailed by the government. But then it turns out they were just a group of computer science students in university who had a club and inadvertently created the Digital World and Digimon at their most basic before selling the idea to Bandai. There's nothing clandestine about them. Even SHIBUMI, who's been mysteriously missing for years but is somehow involved, just comes back later and he's a regular dude.

>>23816176
Anubismon was a card gamemon
Terriermon and Gargomon were made for tamers and just previewed early in the movie. Counting the recolors is bad, not that these are bad recolors.

Tamers had about 52 original digimon and this series was not even huge in terms of new monsters.

I think xross and appmon had the most original monsters.

>>23816269
Alice is LAIN and lain wears a monzemon pin

>>23816280
Anubismon was made for the Labramon line which was made for the first Tamers movie, like how Lopmon's entire line isn't fully included in the first 02 movie (the Baby II Chocomon appears, but not Baby I Cocomon, and Lopmon itself only appears at the end of the Japanese credits in an illustration with Wallace and Terriermon). Similarly, it's like how Chrysalimon was made for the Diablomon line at the same time as the others (unlike Armagemon), but doesn't appear in OWG at all since Keramon skips Adult. It's still what I would call OWG-adjacent, in that it came out at the same time and is inextricably linked to OWG.

I'm thinking by that logic though, I should add Turuiemon to Tamers-adjacent Digimon since it came out around the same time as the Deva Andiramon as a sort of "good" evolution path instead of Wendimon. But Terriermon wasn't made for Tamers, it was brought back for Tamers with the same VA and mannerisms because it was so well-received in the movie, and Tamers just expands upon its evolution line. It's the odd one out compared to Guilmon and Renamon, which are far larger than previous Child Digimon, and they deal with hiding different ways narratively compared to the more standard stuffed animal-size Terriermon.

Lain already has a character named Alice, and the series was written before any Digimon anime existed.

>>23816254
>>23816269
Yeah, thanks. I guess Im asking whats the excuse in that dobermon is able to let them biomerge? Did they develop an explanation that didnt make it through to the dub? Or it really just “poof you can now biomerge”. Im 5 episodes left so I guess the Goth bitch revealing she is a wild one’s granddaughter will come out. Honestly she and the way dobermon was fleshed out feels really unnecessary. Still the best digimon series to me though.

>>23817011
And yeah, the “we arent data so we cant biomerge” thing did come through the english dub.

>>23816295
anubismon was made for the card game, hyper colloseium used to drop new mon entirely at random

>>23815341
Expected a goofy filler episode with no lasting consequences.
Got something that was still pretty filler-ish, but went in weirdly dark directions, made a small change to the status quo, and even managed to tie things back to Pandamon.

>Episode 27: Hitomi is reunited with Tomoro after a long time, but something seems off. A strange bandage wrapped around Hitomi causes Tomoro and the others to start showing affection towards Digimon...
With that last line I wonder if the Haruomi and Elizamon plot is going to spill over into this episode

SWORD line

>>23817011
The implication is that the Sovereigns used Dobermon as a delivery system for some sort of catalyst that turned them into Data in the Real World

What that means long term for those kids is anyone's guess. Are they still even human?

>>23817330
They where likely not fully human the second they got the d-arc.
Remember even before biomerging tamers and digimon were becoming more and more entangled as they digivolved, in the ultimate fights they often shared battle damage.

>>23817166
There are Digimon that debut in the card game, but I don't know if I would say many were outright made for it.
What I'm saying is this
>The Guilmon and Renamon lines for made for the Tamers anime, Terriermon was brought back and expanded upon
>The D-Ark toys based on the Digivices from the anime let you train them and evolve them
>These toys introduced recolors for the Guilmon (BlackGrowmon/BlackMegaloGrowmon/ChaosDukemon) and Renamon (Youkomon/Doumon/Kuzuhamon) lines, which are treated like dark evolutionary paths based on their sprites
>Terriermon instead got replaced by the Labramon line in D-Ark Ver. 2.0, which was released around the same time as the Tamers movie which prominently featured Labramon/Siesamon as a new Digimon tied to the story
>Both the D-Ark Ver. 2.0 and Hyper Colosseum expanded upon Labramon/Siesamon's evolutionary line at the time the movie came out and gave it a "logical line" like how Chrysalimon is the missing logical Adult stage from OWG that was designed to complete the Diablomon line, but just because it debuted in the card game, it doesn't mean it was made FOR the card game, it was made for Diablomon's line in OWG and just not used in the movie itself
>Dobermon was adapted from a fan contest design and incorporated into Tamers months later, and it was quickly put as an alternative Adult stage for Labramon that better fit the Cerberumon Perfect

As an alternative example, I think Dracomon (or one of its earlier stages) debuted in the card game after Hyper Colosseum, but it wasn't named for a year because it only appeared in the background of another Digimon who was the card's focus. The Dracomon line was made for Digimon Championship on the DS that came out a year later, but it just so happened to appear on an earlier card.

>>23816254
>>23817330
I wonder if because of his history of travelling through time and space and multiple Earths and Digital Worlds, Ryo was already a digital being

It still would have been neat to see an evolution sequence for him and Cyberdramon

>>23817357
I did not know that about the d-ark 2.0
as a long time veedramon stan i fucking hate dracomon.

>>23817547
this overlaps well with louie becoming part digimon

>>23817569
>louie becoming part digimon
The movie would have been memorable if he did anything with that eye.

>>23817357
I should say it only fits Cerberumon visually. Thematically, the line is about legendary canines (Siesa, Cerberus, Anubis). Dobermon actually fits Labramon's naming scheme more by being based on a regular dog.

And then there's Dogmon which debuted in D-Ark Ver. 1.0 and that's a weird can of worms.

>>23817593
dogmon is funny as shit
im glad plutomon is a thing now , cerberusmon werewolfmode is cool too

if you want to talk about stranded dogs lets talk about fangmon and his v-tamer jail evolution lykkamon. That guy should have been the merkurimon line but nah

bit too many garurucentric mons. anubis with the garuru stripes, merkuri coming from weregaruru beacuse TS is creatively bankrupt , we got that new chinky antylia+garuru fusion ( I like that we are getting really weird fusions but not the aesthetics of all of them. I hope the card game does not fuck these up but considering how the last sets have been so focused on traits it prolly will )

I mean, there's not a lot covered beyond him being emotionally distant from her. It's easy to fill in the blanks by inferring the worst.

>Also, at what point did Jeri become the host of the d reaper?

During episode 40. It's implied it "scanned" her when a D-Reaper bubble pops up by her foot early on, but otherwise the switch happens between her wandering off and Guardromon finding "her".
