Usual Digimon thread, and Beatbreak is going to air for a full 4-cour, so here we go.
>>23586282>full 4-courHoly moly, I didn't know about that.
https://twitter.com/Convergencia_CD/status/1978956294733070497How would you personally feel if pic related ends up being Time Stranger's finalized DLC spots?
>>23586291I've not kept up with Digimon as much as I'd have liked to over the years but wow, I didn't know Omegamon had gotten so many variants. It makes sense because of popularity and all but still.
>>23583830Oh hey, Machmon.
>>23586291Literally a whole DLC's worth of Digimon is just Omegamon variants. Alter-S and X is really all you'd need. I'd way rather free up some of those slots.
>>23586291I hate the idea of just chucking X-Antibodies into DLC. They really deserve their own game. Selling Cres, Blitz, and Alters B and S as DLC is criminal. Zwart and Merciful are fine. Banchos should've been base game as well but I'm glad we're getting them. Parallelmon as the potential DLC endboss is great though.

>>23586291What if they all are released at once? Also, the story of the Expansion Pack relates to Hiroko, the glasses girl who does extremely minor but ultimately meaningful in the story, which explains what she's meant to do in full.

So people are predicting that the next Story game will focus on Shambhala/Kunlun and that Frontier mons will take center stage because of Susanoomon
>>23586762Maybe? But I honestly wish they make it a Warriors game with help from Koei Tecmo. Because everything has to have a Warriors game if the franchise is big enough, right?
>>23586291>all the banchosPretty good, but I would have preferred them in the base game.
>>23586762I'm just hoping that they got their shit together so there isn't such a huge gap like there was between HM and TS. You shouldn't need more than 3-4 years to pump out one of these games.
>>23586291I think it's pretty confirmed by now, there's been more datamining and one of the VAs put out a tweet listing off characters he voiced in the game which included two of the digimon in that picAnyway, I'm kind of just amused by it, I think they're all fine picks for paid DLC since they're all mons that only have a cult following, and I hardly care since all Digimon in Time Stranger are interchangeable blobs of stats anyway
>>23586291I terms of Digimon choices DLC 1 is really stupid. They should have just omitted Zwart D and AlterB or at least D and added something else. And D is my favourite Omegamon after the original. I actually really like AlterS and Blitz and Cres though. DLC2 This is great because banchos, but instead of Omegamon Mercy Mode I would have liked to see Ultimate Chaosmon since it's a BanchoLeomon evolution or Brigadramon (but maybe that was too new.) Mercy mode is actually a great Omegamon for Time Stranger because he has the Ishinomori cape and Dan is inspired by Cyborg 009. And saving it from Tri is good. But turning Omegamon into all white is kind of boring and might be my least favourite Omegamon.>DLC 3 I fucking love X Antibodies and I cant wait to see their 3D models and especially Jesmons attack where he turns into all swords and explodes in swords. It's a shame there's only 5. Some non Royal Knights would have been nice like Diablomon as a villain. Overall not bad if you dont mind Omegamons but they FORGOT THE BEST ONE.
>>23587201It depends on Time Stranger's success I think. But chances are if there's a new Story game coming relatively soon it'll be an asset reuse. Hopefully it's like Persona 3 & 4 (as well as their remakes)
https://digimoncard.com/digimon_liberator/en/novel/debug21.phpDebug 21.
why do people even like musous
>>23587547Sometimes you wanna turn off your brain and just hack and slash. It's good if you're exhausted from work or something and wants to wind off. And it gets a reputation for being 'easy to make' but not low tier.
>>23587490Time Stranger itself is asset reuse, don't kid yourself. Real work on the game probably didn't start until after Survive judging from all the reused choregraphy and models that were at best retextured or upscaledIt's cool that they gave a bunch of new moves to old mons at least, very satisfying to finally be able to GLORIOUS BURST in a real game
>>23587615Oh yeah they are asset reuse since the Digimons all share the same animations, but I was referring on how the hypothetical next Story game will look the same as Time Stranger's. TS actually had the benefit of next gen detailing to make it look somewhat different.But regardless I just want a Frontier love.
>>23586762I wonder if they're going to have the MC collect the Spirits and transform into the Frontier mons.
>>23587667It'll probably be standard Story mechanics, and the major Frontier Digimon as characters would probably be the Ancient mons.
https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/1981243859972579710Pristi gif.
>>23586291Kinda bored, really. Some good picks with the Banchos, but otherwise dumping in more Omegas and X-Antibody Royal Knights is just more of what we usually get. Parallelmon is great though. Not only is he fitting, but it's always good to see another Digimon released from V-Tamer jail. Metamormon when?
>>23586762There are so many new Shambala Digimon that should take precedence over the Spirits despite their connection. 10 spirits vs the actual Toho Braves of tantei ten whatever the fuck they're called. This means Ranamon could be important again though because she evolves to Shagaramon. Unless you're saying itll be like an Aegiomon situation in TS. If so I think it'd only really be fire and light because 10 characters on top if 10 is a lot.
>>23587931I meant more like how Royal Knights was in Cyber Sleuth, the Spirits (probably Ancient ones) could be like that, and have Flamon & Strabimon to be like Aegiomon
https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/1981284474819399767The Tomoro moment.
>>23586762I'm expecting the stereotypical chinese/japanese shared myths. >4 holy beasts + devas + Huanglongmon (obligatory crazy form = ruin mode) because they love showcasing the Four Symbols in their media. >Four Perils (Shikyoju) had 2/4 entries in the digimon reference book. Parallels to the 4 holy beasts.>Journey to the West with SeitenGokuwmon vs Erlangmon reference.I have a feeling they're just going to handwave the 10 spirits in the plot, and just reference susanomon alone.
https://twitter.com/digimon_games/status/1981405485065453780Behind the scenes.
>>23588234they already did the Holy Beasts in Survive and Gokuwmon seems to be a major thing for BeatbreakIf they're gonna focus on anything neglected next game I expect it'll most likely be either X-antibodies or Witchelny

>>23589669Now Marsmon makes more sense as Kumamon's mega.
>>23590012>Kumamon'sDo the localizer seriously reuse the name two times on two different digimon's?
>>23590066English lolcalizers are famous for fucking up simple shit like translating names.
>>23590068My man's literally just called Bearmon, why they decided it was a good idea to rename him to Kumamon I'll never know.
https://twitter.com/digimon_games/status/1981775226959540458GreatGrizzlymon.
>>23590069same reason they renamed Tailmon to "Gatomon"They think that they need to preserve the sense of the original name using a foreign language word
>>23590144In their defense, Tailmon is a shit name.
>>23590068The Saban dub of 02 had an episode where the YukimiBotamon were called by their Japanese name in dialogue but the on-screen profile was changed to "SnowBotamon" in English. It got corrected in reruns iirc but was just one of their many gaffes.
I know we got a mon who's a Rider, but is there one who's an Ultra?

Tomoro's design phases.
https://nyaa.land/view/2035449How was Beatbreak's fourth episode?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QomHWSdE6Xw
Gekkomon's early designs.https://twitter.com/JP_Excelsior/status/1982298144156033294"Director Miyamoto requested it to be a lizard and said that it doesn't need be cute, and could be creepy.Kenji Watanabe said that the new Digimon should use its tongue to moves and it was designed to be incomplete and flawed, like Tomoro."
>>23591323>Armadillo and pangolin heavy designs Cute, makes sence it's main attack is a rolling tackle if that was part's of it's original design.
so when are we gonna see gekkomon's champion? and the bat's.
>>23591546Gekko probably in 3-4 episodes. Bat probably not for a while, he's a recon flier with an cc attack, he's filling out his niche well till they start running into ults/megas.
>>23591323>We could have had a pangolin MCI feel robbed. Hope that gets reused down the line. Also lol at the concept that's basically just Inteleon>>23591546Gekkomon, hopefully at least by ep 10.Chiropmon and Makoto are filling out the support role, so no doubt they're going to drag out their evolutions for some time. They may not be as plot relevant as Takeru and Patamon, but I could definitely see them in a similar pattern to them.
>>23591272It was very meh.
Machmon's voice actor.
>>23591628So was there a digimon show he didn't have him? I can only think of adventure 1999And savers
>>23586291>No Monmon>No Liberator digis>No V-bracelet digisShit DLC. Shit game. Pokemon wins again.
>>23591682I'm not feeling this revival era at all. Time Stranger is lackluster and Beatbreak characters aren't my cup of tea, can't find any of them enjoyable at this moment.
>>23591852Fake fan
>>23591272Pretty solid team building ep, except for the impetus for it being a moment so stupid I thought it was a gag at first. Still, nice to see Reina fleshed out a little more. Solid action too.Got a laugh out of Machmon's Owner taking the time to reenact the Shin Kamen Rider bike stand during the climax.
>>23591633Don't remember anything except BlackWarGreymon when /digi/ from /vg/ told me about it. Anything else?>>23591852Beatbreak might have been the reason why the third wave of Pendulum Color v-pets took so long to make. All this connects to both Beatbreak and Alysion, the latter coming early next year. The gates of Shambala are about to open wide soon, and we could witness the birth of new members in its lore.
>>23592260>>23591633I don't remember Hiyama appearing in Tamers. I know Hiyama was Frontier Seraphimon, Xros Wars SlashAngemon, and Ghost Game Shadramon at least.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMi8fiNjIe8
>>23592265Yeah, looks like Tamers, Savers and Appmon were the only series where he didn't have at least one cameo.
>>23591852The fact the new Shambala stuff is all happening at once and is obviously there for the Chinese market since half of them or more are Chinese makes me way too cynical. I know its half Japanese but still.I did enjoy Time Stranger and Beat Break though.
>>23592579And not the two and half European server's?
>>23592579Though I always felt like Digimon nowadays ponders a lot to lesbians. Too much on that kind of fanservice ever since Survive?Besides the point, anyone collecting older Digimon toys? Honestly, someone out there should have both a Japanese and American Shoutmon figure and give the Japan-only Shoutmon Mic to the American figure for a more complete look... until I saw how thick the handle was on the Star Sword from the American release and admit it won't work.
>>23591867I'm a real fan. I just don't feel satisfied of the current state of the series.New games should have new content and not be behind by like a decade.
If you still support Digimon in 2025, that's your fault.
>>23592661Not if the game was in development hell for almost a decadeThat and not like the franchise ever promised every mon to be in games unlike certain series
>>23590586I think I get the idea, but explain further please.
>>23592666The head solar energy Light dragon
>>23592662Better to support Digimon than be a Pokedrone.
>>23586291Blitz, Cres and Omega Alter should have been in the game by default but what can you do.
What does /m/ think of the Time Stranger game?
>>23592579I agree completely. The blatant pandering is one thing, but the way it comes through the designs of those Digimon makes it even worse. They're too straight-forward and never play around with the designs influences the same way they do with other mythologies. Going all the way back to mobage exclusives like Jazamon and Vorvomon, just being basic elemental dragons. Compared to something like Zanbamon, a samurai based on the Irish nuckelavee, the difference is huge.
>>23592795Utter disappointment as someone who has played the other Story games. Everything's just so dumbed down, like even compared to the DS games. Time Stranger is like those, but without the lane system that salvaged all the other bullshit in those games. Just goes to show that people do not care about gameplay and will rate anything that has a big budget and a focus on story highly
>>23593351>Just goes to show that people do not care about gameplay and will rate anything that has a big budget and a focus on story highlythis reads like an ACfag shitpost I would see on /v/also>Digimon>big budget
>>23592795I think it's good particularly if you're new to or less engaged with the franchise so it's easy to recommend but the gameplay does feels unsatisfying compared to some of the older games. Really should add more non-CS/HM mons and Armors/Ranamon being deadend is pretty annoying because they're obsolete by the time you unlock them which means they're just collectables. Probably should just remove the affinity triangle too if there's going to be a massive Vaccine bias. Also didn't like the Digifarm because it's so clunky to access and use.Otherwise the story/characters are decent, they freed the Olympos XII from mobage hell and the music is great.
>>23593414sounds like it's a wait until some QoL stuff comes out
https://digimon.net/special/vote135/The results.
>>23593427well the game has all the QoL you could realistically ask for, the problem isn't with that (aside from the farm having just an absolutely atrocious UI that makes you constantly exit and reenter it to check evo requirements), it's more with the core design of the game itself being so utterly bland and barebones> Probably should just remove the affinity triangle too if there's going to be a massive Vaccine biasWhile generally I think we'd be better off without the RPS nonsense, to its credit TS did introduce some cool stuff for playing around it. Being able to use character reverse on teammates was cool, and so was the idea of having signature moves that nullified type disadvantage
>>23593499>(aside from the farm having just an absolutely atrocious UI that makes you constantly exit and reenter it to check evo requirements)that's the big QoL I am hoping gets added, evolving directly from the farm
>>23592795It is the best Digimon game to date, damning with faint praise though that may be.
>>23593622Hacker's Memory was pretty solid even if it's story was going to be a mess due to it running parallel witth CS
>>23591272caught up now, I liked it, and it's cool that the show seems to be doing the "mostly episodic but still smoothly transitions from the previous episode" thing. I'm really liking how the action is directed, the show isn't really doing evolution sequences at all and yet still manages to be really hype just from the way the scenes are storyboarded. It's making me real excited for what this show will look like after everyone hits their final forms
>>23592206I get that 1) They had to do the "team sucks at team work and then gets better" moment 2)Kids show (somewhat) but MAN was this part rough to watch. Bullets are literally flying and this kid is just standing around going like he's waiting for a bus. I'd have legit preferred if he freaked out and tried to hide or something instead.
>>23593826It's realistic

Is wolvemon supposed to be trap?
Stupid opinion: If you were Homeostasis and would want to kick out the constant traitors among the Royal Knights, who will be your replacements and why?
>>23593978>HomeostasisShe only have connection jesmon The royal knights follow yggeddrasll
>>23593984But Yggdrasil tends to get corrupted most of the time, more often than not with Duftmon as a major instigator. The traitors in question are typically Crusadermon and Duftmon, but Dynasmon is often among the traitors due to being tricked into becoming one or following evil beings. Common examples on who should be among the replacements are other protagonist Mega Digimon who don't have connections to other servers besides the main one (ShineGreymon is one who can stand on his own, and Susanoomon created the Shambala server), the primary examples being Shoutmon DX and Siriusmon.

A "proper" evolution for Shakkoumon would need some bulk, like Dominimon or ClavisAngemon (not that I can see them as such). But as far as being closest in terms of matching attributes, it's decent enough.
>>23595672>MetatromonI can accept it since this seems to be what Shakoukomon should had been, but I still prefer SlashAngemon.
>>23595672It's suppose to be for Maquinamon's mechanical line and intentionally lack holy attribute which I think Shakkoumon has. Can still work but I can see them making something more fitting when expanding Shambala lore.

First time I'm watching a Digimon anime Japanese subbedI mean with 日本語字幕, not English subs. I can follow it without subs if I can hear it clearly enough, but it's only 90%.Makes me want to go through every series from the start like this.
https://nyaa.land/view/2038066How was Beatbreak's fifth episode?
>>23601098Didn't expect a cliffhanger episode this earlyKenkimon as this week's villain is certainly a choice of all time, gotta love how Digimon anime just casually drop mons that have never been in anything of substance to get a feature episodeI wish they'd spent as much time trying to develop one of the Glowing Dawn Digimon as they did Pandamon here
>>23601373>Didn't expect a cliffhanger episode this earlyFunny enough, Savers had a cliffhanger episode around the same time.
>>23601098Best one so far, though waiting for the next part is going to be rough. Pandamon best bro, Panda Gang for life.>>23601373>I wish they'd spent as much time trying to develop one of the Glowing Dawn Digimon as they did Pandamon hereYou think it might have something to do with the fact that we're getting around 50 episodes with the main cast and only have so many to spare for guest characters? We're not even in the 10s, give them time. It's ridiculous how impatient people are these days.Besides, Reina's focus in the previous episode was handled well enough.
>>23601933>You think it might have something to do with the fact that we're getting around 50 episodes with the main cast and only have so many to spare for guest characters? We've been through this before man, Pandamon got more development in this episode than the entire cast of partnermons from Adventure (except maybe Tailmon) combined across all 50 episodesIt's never a guarantee with partnermons like it is with the human cast, some series definitely do make them fall by the wayside
>>23602172That's by design though. Adventure's partner Digimon are meant to be like sounding boards for the human characters. Gomamon is easygoing and cheerful, the complete opposite of Joe who's uptight and focused on doing right, but having him around allows Joe to be a bit more nuanced and lighten up than if it was just Joe by himself. By the Digimon being in a Child state already and be fairly static as characters, it gives lots of opportunities for the kids to behave in different ways and explore who THEY are. And when Digimon evolve, they temporarily "mature", hence the changed inflection in voice, but it's not a character development sort of thing like it is for the kids. WarGreymon is Agumon, but he's a brave warrior; he lacks the childish aspects of Agumon. It's because Digimon are also symbolic of growth.In 02, the partner that probably gets the most "depth" is Wormmon, but that's only because Ken is going down the wrong path and he's put in situations where he has to be more independent. V-mon is like Daisuke's Diddy Kong, his little buddy sidekick. If he butts heads with Daisuke, it's because Daisuke is equally immature, much like Takeru and Patamon had squabbled in the original Adventure.
>>23602210You're mostly incorrect outside of your Joe example. The human cast largely developed not by interacting with their Digimon, but with other members of the human cast, their parents in oneoff episodes or of their own accord as a result of the situations they were put in. >he lacks the childish aspects of Agumon.Pure speculation since evolved forms are hardly ever shown outside of fight scenes
>>23602172It's pointless to bring the Adventure partners into this, since they were aiming for something completely different with the Digimon personalitiess, as previously pointed out.Like I said before, it's still early, so things could go either way, but so far most of the Golden Dawn partners aside from Chiropmon and Murasamemon have really strong characterizations so far, so I'm not too worried as long as they keep getting chances to shine.
>>23602455Most partnermons since Tamers have been given characterization, but it's a matter of whether or not the mons in question actually get to do anything or have any kind of story independent of their partnersSavers only allowed that briefly a couple times, and never with Gaomon or LalamonI would say of all Digimon shows only Ghost Game managed it for its whole cast
Did they change the group name from Golden Dawn to Glowing Dawn because of the Crowley association? Because that's pretty funny if so.
>>23602588No one knows but a terrorist organization has it for a name

Let's talk about Figure-rise Standard again and how it's the new longest-running Digimon figure toyline at this point. If we ever get to Xros Wars, how do you guys think will they release the Shoutmon Xros Up series?
https://twitter.com/digimon_games/status/1984259063782269386
You know, back in my day the main character's partner digimon evolved to champion by the third episode at most
>>23602730FRSA tends to retain the gimmicks of the Digimon like Imperialdramon's transformation and the upcoming Kaiser combining with Magna to make Susanoomon, but as much as I want for a hypothetical Shoutmon X4 kit to have a gattai gimmick with its components, I doubt they'd want to spend that many resources engineering the transformation for a relatively unpopular design.Hell, it'd be lucky if it manages to get a kit at all.
>>23603229Too bad.
>>23603335Guilmon was stronger than most Armors and more than a few Adults

>>23602742AHHHHTHICC
>Episode 4>Nobuyuki Hiyama is voicing Machmon again like in Adventure:I like the little references, like Hiroshi Kamiya voicing Strabimon in Adventure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuCGd_X6cow
Anybody notice the naming conventions for the main cast being homophones for periods of time?>Tomoro = Tomorrow>Kyo = Kyo = Today>Sakuya Reina = Sakuya = Last Night/YesterdayThe only one who doesn't fit the scheme is Makoto. However his surname, Kuonji, is shared with a famous Buddhist temple. Which is likely alluded to with his introduction in the OP featuring him in what looks like a ruined futuristic temple/colosseum.I don't think it's a stretch to theorize Makoto and Chiropmon will be the protags with the closest connection to Shambala once it factors into the series.
>>23603973I noticed Tomorou and Kyou, but I didn't make the connection in my head, and I literally only just read Reina's last name was Sakuya, but I was reading the kanji so I read it as "blooming night" rather than a homophone for 昨夜.But holy shit, Makoto is 10? I figured he was younger than the rest, but I was thinking closer to 13.I wanted to ask what people think of Kyou. The dead eyes, muted colors, and seemingly greater knowledge for what's going on seem like dead giveaways that he has ulterior motives and is going to betray the team, especially since he's the strongest character on the team.Alternatively, he's living on borrowed time and these design elements are indicators of that state, along with the marks on his skin beneath his clothing, and he's just not letting on. Cougarmon/Murasamemon doesn't seem like an evil Digimon either, but they're both Virus attribute, so who knows. I haven't watched Pokémon in a while but Kyou's design vaguely reminds me of some of the new series' bad guy characters.
>>23591682I find it funny how Timemon has the FUTURE arrow like Nanimon.
>>23603487Wolvermon and Murasamemom have been around since episode 1, like GalgomonGekkomon still has a few more episodes before he beats Guilmon's record
>>23603259X7 is more popular. That's why it needs a kit. But in order to get to that point, they will have to make X4 first. Or X5 considering how minimal the differences are between X3, X4, and X5 (X4 is X3 with the Star Sword, and X5 is X4 with Sparrowmon's wings, a new head and shield). Then followed by Shoutmon DX that can split into OmegaShoutmon and ZekeGreymon before combining again with X5 into X7 (though I also expect DX to come with KingShoutmon's scarf and stickers for the headset).
>>23604043But they're not "the main character" like he was saying.Guilmon was weird for a number of reasons.>The main character's Digimon, but the last to evolve>Evolves to Perfect first like the main character typically would, but it's as early as episode 14, only 6 episodes after his Adult evolutionIn Adventure, MetalGreymon was episode 20.Adventure 02 has Paildramon in episode 26, but 02 is once again weird with evolutions, so you have Lighdramon as a sort of "first cour finale evolution" to stop MetalGreymon, and this is probably closest to Angemon even if it lacks that deus ex machina power going forward (better exemplified by Magnamon, who debuts in episode 20 but is a bit closer in pacing to MetalGreymon)Frontier is another weird one where Beast Spirits are treated kind of like a Perfect evolution, but are happening before Perfect and are narratively meant to be an alternative to Human Spirits. In this way, they're like the second wave of Armor Evolutions from 02.Savers has RizeGreymon in episode 13, another first cour climax evolution but treated as a straight evolution upgrade instead of sidegrade, like Tamers.
>>23603429Has anyone gave up on considering rookie Lucemon as not part of the Seven Great Demon Lords, and just straight up treat him as one even in his Rookie stage? Normally, Lucemon wouldn't be counted until he gets Chaos Mode, by which he gets his Crown of Pride, but due to even his Rookie form being consistently portrayed as a villain, everyone, from the fans to Bandai themselves, gave up on thinking his younger self shouldn't count as a Demon Lord.
>>23603487>but the first Shoutmon DigiXros is in episode 1I'd say that Ep3 is the one that counts, that's when they first form X3.

So what are the odds Beelko gets a cameo appearance in the anime, given that we're in for a lot of episodes, and Time Stranger released roughly a month ago?
>>23604244I hate how popular Time Stranger made this FOTM old hag when we have sexist Digimon like me, Nanimon
>>23604248Nanimon probably would be sexist, yes.
>>23604248I do not care if it's just for momentary FOTM reasons, I'm just happy to see something cool (and sexy) from Digimon get some more love and attention.
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/137086638
>>23604081If they start making XW mons i would expect: - X4 - separated Sparrowmon - X5 as X4+Sparrowmon dual pack (P-Bandai)- separated Beelzbumon (P-Bandai)- OmegaShoutmon- ZekeGreymon- Shoutmon DX as Omega+Zeke dual pack (P-Bandai) - X7 as X5+DX dual pack (P-Bandai) - Superior Mode extra parts(P-Bandai) - Mervamon (p-Bandai)
>>23604244I hope she gets her own sweet ride like Beelzebumon some day
>>23605143Why? The haven't done near that much for any other series and Xros Wars isn't anywhere near popular enough for them to do that muchHere's what'll actually happen: They'll release a non-transformable X7 Superior mode set (as it's the most popular going off of >>23593439) and leave it at that. Maybe if we're super lucky we'll get a P-Bandai non-transformable X4K set but I doubt it. Savers is much more popular than XW and it all it got was Shine Greymon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wZ1AzE0hds
>>23604244I'd say pretty good chance. With digimon in Beatbreak feeding on e-pulse, I wouldn't be surprised if the vamdemon and ladydevimon lines make an appearance later in the season to play into the vampire and succubus themes. Beelko would likely be a good opponent for Pristimon's Mega/Ultimate form if she stays with the tomboy theme.
>>23605681I think the only time we got an Ultimate for a main cast partnermon that wasn't an all new mon invented for the show was Rosemon in Savers
>>23605690I wasn't saying that Pristimon's Ultimate form would be Belko, but Pristimon's Ultimate form would likely fight Beelko. Based on the Red Panda and Wolverine themes of Pristimon and Wolverimon I wouldn't be surprised if the Ultimate is Raccoon/Tanuki themed with the earlier Ultimate/Perfect form being Weasel themed.

If I get an XV-mon then at least I can DNA Digivolve it with a Stingmon and this time I'll get a Paildramon like in the cartoon for sure.">Flamedramon was my second favourite mon after Stingmon at the time>V-mon digivolves to V-dramon>"Nanni?! What even is this?">There was no Stingmon or Paildramon in Digimon World 2I don't hate V-dramon for what it is but at the same time I am kinda resentful over it's existence in Digimon games because I see it as filler eating up the spot of something better.
>>23605802You say that as if you prefer 02 to V-Tamer or XV-mon to V-dramonV-dramon is so cool, I like how it feels like something from a Toriyama manga, like it almost came straight outta Dragon QuestXV-mon is lanky and weird and any coolness points I used to give it have been tainted by all the barafags that fetishize it
>>23605821>XV-mon to V-dramonTouché. I'm odd and I play games for the aesthetics of the characters that I control. I am big into armored humanoids, so I could enjoy neither V-dramon nor XV-mon. I loved Stingmon because it was a flying dude in carapace armor. And I really liked Flamedramon because at the time it was very close to humanoid and very close to armored. And the colour scheme just blew my mind. It had never occured to me that cyan and red went well together. I agree on everything you said about XV-mon.
>>23605859I was never into Fladramon much, I blame it on the stubby hands and tiny fingersMagnamon was the only V-mon thing from 02 that really spoke to me, you really can't argue with EXTREME JIHAD
>>23605802Till this day I still wish for V-mon, Armadimon and hawkmon to get their own Ultimate and Mega.
>>23604023It could go either way, but I get the feeling Kyo's legitimately a decent guy, albeit one with a shady past. It's even possible that being near-Cold Heart is a result of breaking ties with whatever group he previously belonged to, either a mafia like the Koala-Kai or the mysterious faction from the OP. That said, I don't doubt he's going to wind up being taken off the playing field for a while.>>23602730It's a tricky situation due to the DigiXros gimmick. Best case scenario, they release a OmegaShoutmon and ZiegGreymon that can combine into Shoutmon DX. Better case scenario, though not as likely, they release an X7 set with option parts to separate into the individual Xros Heart units. Worst case scenario, you get a single kit of X7, or even X5 like >>23605275 said.
I wish we would get another Digimon game where you get to control the digimon directly and fight in real time. I played Battle Spirit 2 a lot more than it deserved because of it. Same with DW4. I finished it, and it didn't deserve the time and effort. My ideal Digimon game would be something like Darksiders.>>23605866>FladramonOh yeah. They called that in my country's dub as well. But then I saw on the game that it was called Flamedramon and I thought our localizers were just mispronouncing it. Magnamon had my friends and I hyped, but it only appeared in one episode and we kinda forgot it existed afterwards.
>>23586282Has anyone made any Macross 7 jokes about the mc yet?
>>23605859Flamedramon is okay but I preferred Lighdramon and thought it was cooler.
Wow no even this place is died Not even a mentioned of the new guy
>>23606739If you haven't noticed, /m/ is a lot slower than other boards, also its been a month since TS came out, everyone's beaten it, and it's a shallow game so there's not much left to say about itAnyway, I don't know what that mon is or where it comes from, but it looks dumb, I've never liked "small thing with giant appendage" type designs
>>23606739It's the fucking Taotie Chinamon, isn't it.
>>23606882Yeah
>>23606950I like this one less than the other three.
>>23606739>>23606758Personally, I have Chinese fatigue. I get it: Bandai wants some of those big commiebux by pandering to their market, but not every obscure deity needs a mon, in my opinion – even less in what seems to me one after the other.
>>23606966The chinamons we got aren't really obscure as far as chinese shit goes, the four perils are fucking everywhere in chink fiction, as are things like kunpengs, if anything they went for the most obvious shit for digimon inspirations.
>>23606974My guy you're dealing with people who consider everything that isn't Greek or Norse or Western to be"obscure shit nobody cares about"They can't even stomach Japanese mythology and folklore in a Japanese franchise
>>23607061>They can't even stomach Japanese mythology and folklore in a Japanese franchiseObligatory>A FUCKING TEAPOTpost
>>23607066People aren't mad about the existence of Shakkoumon, they're mad because they expected something a lot cooler from Angemon and Ankylomon combining
>>23607089Dogus are fucking cool.
>>23605802V-dramon came first. The premise of V-Tamer, which came out in the V-Jump magazine, was that Taichi (different continuity, Digimon is a v-pet for him), who had a 100% win rate in v-pet tournaments, ended up with the completely unheard of V-dramon when his (presumably) Agumon evolved instead of something more traditional like Greymon. It's like a glitch, but it's incredibly powerful and gets stronger and stronger, eventually able to take on and defeat even Perfect levels despite only being Adult. It's when he fights Deathmon, an Ultimate, that V-dramon finally evolves to AeroV-dramon, its Perfect form.V-Tamer started serialization months before Adventure started airing, and finished shortly after Frontier. It encompasses the original run of Digimon. Anyway, Adventure 02 created V-mon as a sort of natural Child level for V-dramon and made it the lead Digimon. It also made XV-mon, saying that V-dramon is an offshoot that incorporated -dramon-type data, while XV-mon is the more "pure" evolution line. It doesn't matter since the most natural evolutionary line for it is Paildramon > Imperialdramon. Meanwhile, Stingmon as the main leads to the more insect-focused Dinobeemon > GranKuwagamon). In short, the purity thing doesn't matter since it'll Jogress with a bug.
>>23605920Chicomon > Chibimon > V-mon > XV-mon > Paildramon > Imperialdramon (Dragon Mode/Fighter Mode/Paladin Mode)Leafmon > Minomon > Wormmon > Stingmon > Dinobeemon > GranKuwagamonPururumon > Poromon > Hawkmon > Aquilamon > Silphymon > ValkyrimonTsubumon > Upamon > Armadimon > Ankylomon > Shakkoumon > VikemonPoyomon > Tokomon > Patamon > Angemon > HolyAngemon > SeraphimonYukimiBotamon > Nyaromon > Plotmon > Tailmon > Angewomon > HolydramonThese are the original "full" lines going by the original D-3 toys.
>>23606966Digimon has a lot of history in China, they were their first non-Japanese market, and they've been making official Chinese manhua and games for decades, so the Chinese focus isn't a recent thing. 02 introduced Chinese Chosen Children, and Jianliang was a main character of Tamers, with his father and little sister playing major supporting roles.
>>23607330That's mainly Hong Kong and Digimon even had Cantonese dubs. Mainland China was more anti-globalist for much of the 90s and 00s when Japanese exports peaked.
>>23606400I was just thinking about Battle Spirits not too long ago. Simple as it was, I still love playing it from time to time. We could really use a solid fighter like that again. Or another game that lets you directly play as a Digimon.>>23607323Everybody knows the full lines by now. People want Perfect/Ultimates for the main 02 cast that aren't visibly shared with other Digimon. Especially Armadimon, who's been screwed twice over in that regard.

Any Beatbreak subs that don't refer to individual mons as "they"?

>>23586282So, i just found out about the servers from time stranger and it blew me away. I've been a digi fan fo decades now, watched the anime and stuff and i never knew that. Was it specified somewhere? Where does the lore come from? I understand Homeros is the god of the server this game is on and i deduced Drasil is the god from the Cs/Hm world since the knights are from there. I remember that Susanoo was a huge point of frontier so is Kunlun the leader of that one? Also where do the next order games take place in?
>>23609245>watched the anime and stuff and i never knew thatclearly not enough since Yggrasil appears in Savers and is mentioned in X-Evolution>i deducedit also directly is mentioned in CS and you see parts of it that look exactly like Yggdrasil does in SaversHomeros I believe was also mentioned in the original mobileshit game the OXIII came from, I remember seeing references to it crawling around wikimon a long time before TS was announced. Kunlun appears to be a new invention for TS, I don't recall any prior reference to it>Also where do the next order games take place in?N0 takes place its own continuity, just like TS does. There's no reason to assume the three server setup of TS applies to the entire franchise. Digimon changes shit up all the time
>>23609334The plot points of the animes became muddy with time since this is over the span of 20 years. Xros was the last one i tried watching and i gave up after a while.Thanks for the info. Can i see more if i read manga that was published over the years?

https://twitter.com/digimon_games/status/1986810876486152551Craniamon + Enbarrmon
>>23609345As far as I remember they didn't use any of these in any of the manga but its been awhile and I haven't read all the manga, only V-Tamer, NEXT and a bit of XW. Yggdrasil may or may not have been mentioned in NEXT since I remember it being sort of a Savers tie-in
>>23609459Poor man's Zanbamon.
>>23609459>>23609461Craniamon got a horse, and he suddenly became OP, losing time limits on his shield, can flash step, and can never die. That's the TL;DR on him with this specific combination.>>23606739While he won't get named in Japan until one more week, I expect his name to be Toutetsumon (Taotiemon) as the most blatant name for this guy. And with the final member of the Shikyoju being based on Taowu, I have been betting hard that it would be a ChoHakkaimon evo by turning Taowu into literal armor for a more mature ladymon. Yeah.
>>23609499>Yggdrasil may or may not have been mentioned in NEXT since I remember it being sort of a Savers tie-inYggdrasil actually factors heavily into the later portions of the manga. Also it's not so much a Savers tie-in as a Digivice iC tie-in that happens to share elements with Savers.
>>23610137Every "era" of Digimon shares common elements.When Digimentals were introduced in 02, V-Tamer added one as a plot device.Ideas introduced in late 2001-2004 (Royal Knights, Yggdrasil, Seven Great Demon Lords, X-Antibody) would influence the following media like X-evolution, Savers, NEXT, and various games.Frontier's movie was made to synergize with Digimon World 3 by featuring its original mascot lines.Tamers in 2001 had the Devas.Tamers and Frontier both made use of the various Armor Evolutions that weren't used in 02.I think it would be cool to have an infographic for Digimon that shows off all the cross-media synergy and overlap over the years.
>>23610137Thing is, Next was made first before Savers, so much that the development clash separated the stories of the two completely, with only the Digivice iC being the only thing that relates them together. In fact, Savers would later promote the Digivice Burst, and Next would promote the Digimon Twin, though the VJump Color might be the canon colors for the anti-God weapons in the manga.
>>23610187>Next was made first before SaversNot necessarily. Even if Next began serialization 4.5 months before the first episode of Savers, a manga takes a lot less coordination and planning than a TV anime. I think it's more likely that Savers and Next were thought of around the same time as a form of brand synergizing. In both cases, the powers that be at Bandai wanted Agumon to return as the lead Digimon and for there to be a sort of deuteragonist/rival wolf akin to Gabumon. Agumon got some further distinction with the gloves as the anime got further in production, and Next would fudge its way into rewriting its regular Agumon into the same style.
>>23610627Which explains him debuting as plain old Greymon before downgrading to StrapAgumon as the plot really starts. Now I would be blunt to say this, but honestly, if it weren't a reboot of Adventure, 2020 would have had an adaptation of Next with all-new lines for Agumon and Gabumon that better fit VictoryGreymon and ZeedGarurumon, along with a different Omegamon form to separate itself from Omegamon Zwart Defeat.
>>23602730If they make a combining plamo, then the best they can do would be X4. Maybe X5 if they're really pushing it, but any more than that is a pipe dream, especially since OmegaShoutmon onwards didn't even get any toys.They can do X7 only if it's not transformable.If they feel really generous, maybe they could do a kit for Dark Knightmon, since at least he seems to be popular enough to make several appearances after XW.

>>23607066I loved flying around on this guy so much in Time Stranger. I had him as and Pegasmon and Submarimon while waiting too which was great cause I got to ride on a Pegasus and inside a submarine. Unironically one of my favorite two Digimon lines and Shakkoumon is one of my favourite Digimon of all time. I raised one in Cyber Sleuth too. Loved his 2020 episode. Loved him in 02. Back in the late 90s/early 00s I found out what a Dogu was because of Megchan' Digimon encyclopedia which gave me a life long obsession with ancient aliens and artifacts in media. https://digistarlight.net/encyclopedia/digimon/shakkoumon.htmI absolutely hate chinese pandering however and if I could nuke China with Shakkoumon's laserbeams I would in an instant.

>>23613687Figure Rise Standard has female characters like the Gundam girls so it's possible. Maybe they'll consider it since Beelstarmon is currently very popular thanks to Time Strangers.
New model kits for the second quarter of 2026, place your bets. Or not, if you're confident they'll only make MagnaGarurumon. If anyone's too keen on asking for it, a custom design Action Base 4 modeled after a Spirit Base (same hexagonal shape as the ACB-4 and 5, but now has the borders shown in the Spirit statues seen in the show), which could also come with attachment joints to recreate the non-canon Spirit forms of KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon seen in the old 2002 toys.

>>23620957
SO COOL
I wish they did more with attributes as a narrative element. I remember when Guilmon became Megidramon, Terriermon makes the off-hand comment that he knew Guilmon was a Virus attribute, but he never expected this. But it feels like they don't do much with this beyond "Virus = Bad Digimon", "Vaccine = Good Digimon", and "Data = Neutral Digimon", and even then it tends to be more irrelevant background info that isn't even consistent.There's some stuff like Snimon being this vicious-looking monster bug that's actually a Vaccine attribute that mindlessly hunts down Virus attributes, but that's background information for the species and not used in a story. V-mon, Wormmon, Hawkmon, and Armadimon are Free attribute, but what does that even mean? Variable is tied to Hybrids, so that limits narrative potential since they're hesitant to use Hybrids in stories outside Frontier, but it would be cool to see Agnimon's fighting style change to better match the attribute it's facing. I'd like to see topics like discrimination based on attribute, like maybe a story where a Virus attribute is treated suspiciously by other attributes, and the constant discrimination causes it to evolve into more actually evil species (once again, becoming Dukemon vs becoming Megidramon).
https://digimon.net/topic/detail.php?id=1900
>>23621121>V-mon, Wormmon, Hawkmon, and Armadimon are Free attribute, but what does that even mean?It's a hold over from the D-3 toy where training during periods of the day determined their type. Lore wise it's supposed to mean "neutral", but it's rarely used that way outside of games.
Silly thought, but if we ever get a model kit of Kimeramon, do you think they will make it a plain Figure-rise Standard because it doesn't have mechanical parts at all? And do you think slapping the Infinite Cannon of Machinedramon on Kimeramon's back will make a "Millenniummon"? Emphasis on the quotation marks, because it's a simple mock-up idea.
>>23623964I think they've given up on non-Amplified FRS.

>>23625115>Hitomi's backGood, feels like she was going to be more of a character from what we saw. Maybe next week will be Gekkomon's evolution since she's returning.Every Digimon series is episodic to a degree, and I'm generally not a subscriber to the idea that "power up = character development", but evolution is a big staple of Digimon that typically accompanies character growth, and I wish the sense of progression was a bit more obvious beyond Tomoro loosening up and Kyou's solo investigating. But ever since Digimon abandoned the four cour format, the pacing has become harder to follow, especially since Ghost Game never used Arcturusmon or Proximamon and remained primarily episodic. Adventure: really suffered from Covid with its pacing, with WarGreymon appearing far earlier than it would have otherwise so it could coincide with Jump Festa 2020 despite being nine episodes behind what it would have been without the delay. It would have debuted in episode 39 otherwise, which fits the standard Ultimate appearance.
>>23625354I mean, supporting characters who will appear a lot over the course of the series get their own pages in Toei's website. Asuka is one of them for good reason, but Hitomi suddenly get one, meaning we'll expect to see more of her over the course of the season. People might be thinking already that she gets to partner with Wankomon, a Digimon coming out in the Pendulum Color 7 near the end of the year, becoming the sun to Tomoro and Gekkomon's moon.

>NanakoRaws release is 1440x1080 instead of 1920x1080Damn it
>>23625498It should have been obvious in hindsight, but the extent of how thoroughly dedicated Kyo is to saving Digimon really hit home. I kind of feel bad for thinking ill of him before. Doesn't really rule out him having a shady past (the "everyone deserves a chance to start over" line seems like more foreshadowing), but so far his big heart wins out. BlackGaogamon's tragic backstory really puts prior enemies in perspective too. Good emotional ep overall.>>23625354>Good, feels like she was going to be more of a character from what we saw.I still don't understand this sentiment. Besides providing a view of the world from a regular person's perspective and another reminder of Tomoro's motives, I don't see much merit in her as an individual character.
>>23626490Because a character is better as a character than simply as another character's motivation, and she seemed to at least have something beyond standard background NPC characterization, like she gave me Juri vibes.
>>23626551That's all well and good, but so far she's more potential than character. There's plenty of ways she could be handled, but I don't see a reason to be invested until it actually happens.
