I don't think you realize how genius using Butenmon actually is. Butenmon is a samurai (we all know that part), and samurai have a connection to beetles, with the Japanese word for beetle "Kabuto" being derived from the kabuto helmets worn by samurai.
BEES!! Also, I kind of headcanon that the 02 partner Digimon secretly have the Ancient Warrior Spirits as their megas, so seeing AncientBeetlemon considered for Searchmon's possible evo was pretty cool!
Ooo I love the Queenbeemon and Tigervespamon mirrors :) Veemon and Wormmon's lines were my favourites though. (The mirrors here are VERY close second XD)
I also find that Queenbeemon's fur(?) around the neck, wrist, and ankle areas to be pretty prominent, giving a white and purple visual cohesion with Gatomon and Butterflymon
Really love these videos. Insights behind each of these never fail to be interesting and thought provoking even if I have a different philosophy for a couple digivolutions.
For Hawkmon, the mega could also be Slayerdramon, so it can connect to Armadillomon's Breakdramon, since Yolie and Cody happen to be good friends, and Butenmon also has blue in on it's body, therefore y'know
Love the videos also I know digimon survive is not really a topic anymore but I always thought it would be cool if the original adventure partners digivolved like Yakima’s agumon
I think Digmon could evolve into Scorpiomon, or Mummymon for the Desert Vibes it has. AncientBeatmon and Anubimon as the End Results. For some unclear Reasons Shadramon has some connections to BelialVamdemon so maybe that two beeing connected. I would try to keep them, maybe Archnemon as connection point. Oh yeah hes Corage.
We really do need more insectoid digimon, especially ones not tied to Tentomon, Wormmon, and Funbeemon. Shivamon could somewhat tie thematically into Gatomon since it has a Light theme and flows off of Eosmon being blue, but it is rather masculine considering how feminine-presenting the line is. But I think Climbmon and Shivamon would really work best as Searchmon evolutions since it is ostensibly a cricket and crickets and mantids are distantly related. Shivamon even has a horsehair worm around its shoulders and the line would begin with Wormmon. There's even sort of a narrative like it's searching for enlightenment. Scorpiomon could be used as a Digmon evo I guess? I don't love it, but I do see a sort of Earth theme. If it then turned into Pharaohmon, it would be like burrowing -> archaeology with Pharaohmon's gold plating and sarcophagus linking to Armadillomon's shell. I don't have any ideas I like for Flybeemon or Mothmon, sadly
Lol that start yeah fanbeemon's new evolutions are definitely going to be useful also ive been looking forward for knowledge cause bug digimon are awesome and earth is one of my favorite elements in different series
Was gonna say that we need more butterfly digimon both for this and for morphomon but as you said we also need more moth digimon. Maybe even a mothman digimon? We know from wendigomon that they arent afraid to use american mythology
As much as Patamon and Gatomon have connections throughout their Digivolution lines, I do not ship them, nor do I ship TK and Kari. Just thought I’d make that clear. That being said, these choices are amazing! And the QueenBeemon also works with the “Queen Kari” motif given by the Numemon!
Something I think it could be fun to see some theoretical Digimon, in another video. For example; over on one of the Digimon subreddits, I have a few discussions that mention using some entities from world mythology, in particular, the Aralez from Armenian mythology and the Ramidreju from Spanish lore. Regarding the Aralez, someone over on the thread on the subredit suggested an "Aralezmon" be an evolution of Manticoremon. And someone suggested a digion based on the Radmidreju could be an evolution of Kudamon (not clear on whether it should be Champion/Adult or Ultimate/Perfect). In Armenian mythology, the Aralez is a celestial canine that descends from the heavens to revive fallen heroes. So, I really like the idea of Manticoremon going from demonic beast that consumes Digicores to and Divine Beast that can repair, restore, and possibly even reconstruct Digicores within a limited time frame. So Manicoremon to "Aralezmon" could really have some nice cohesion in that Manticoremon is used by an Angel Digimon to take out problematic Digimon due to its aggressive nature going into a more tempered and overtly loyal Digimon that has found its own divinity and uses that power to help other Digimon that have damage that isn't all that easy to notice. To get more on what I'm talking about, look into the mythology of the Aralez from Armenia.
Karn you should maybe do a video about what if the different protagonist partner digimon fused for example, veemon and guilmon, and full evo lines for each fusion that would be cool 😊
Hey I saw your thread on twitter the other day and I hope you can get it resolved man, you deserve to be paid for your hard work and getting screwed over aint never right. Really hoping everything comes up Karn on that front soon man. 👍
Butterfly!!!! Onnn Myyyy LOOOOOOVVVE!!!!!! Oh yeah of course not that one lol, really hyped about future videos too, see ya on there lol And yeah, another amazing episode, and digivolutions were amazing! (First at the beginning with breakdramon focusing on drills, my Armadillomon, Digmon with Dorulumon because of drills) Also had Mothmon as a champion for Morphomon as an homage to Terriermon (Willis or Henry), vaccine rookie with gattling gun champion (canonbeemon, vespamon and tigervespamon) but that's if I had Morphomon as my digimon partner. Morphomon Momentai! Anyway, really liked Gatomon Knowledge mega as QueenBeemon!
Loved it! But I need to add something sorry. Although it is digi-xross GrandisKuwagamon Honey mode (GrandisKuwagamon + HoneyBeemons) is mega level bug digimon in knowledge armor and I think that Digmon to MetalLifeKuwagamon to GrandisKuwagamon Honey mode is a pretty good evolution line
For fun since I’m a nerd, I’m trying to map out digivolutions for all armor digimon. My rules: Every champion/armor needs at least 3 branches into ultimates Every ultimate needs at least three branches into megas every combination of ultimates or combination of megas must be unique Canonically exclusive digimon must remain exclusive (no using greymon species, angemon species, Kabuterimon species, etc) Ultra levels like milleniumon, apokarimon, etc can’t be used in place of a mega
Now here, because GrandisKuwagamon Honey Mode looks like it armor digivolved with the digi-egg of knowledge! (Well, I mean, it was a Fusion of GrandisKuwagamon and HoneyBeemon, but still!) (also it's mega level I think?) IT (KINDA) FITS FOR WORMMON SINCE GRANDISKUWAGAMON IS ASSOCIATED WITH WORMMON DIGIVOLUTION LINE!
These were good choices I like Armadillomon to Digmon to MetalifeKowagamon to BreakDramon Patamon to Mothmon to Vespamon to TigerVespamon Gatomon to Mothmon but I would use SetSelphimon as the Ultimate to QueenBeemon for Veemon digivolve to HoneyBeemon to Climbmon to GrandKuwagamon for Wormmon digvolves to Searchmon to MetalKabuterimon to Shivamon as a reference to when Ken was a Genius for Hawkmon to FlyBeemon to AlterBalistamon it’s part Red to TyrantKabterimon.
An idea for a low effort vid if you just need a break some time. What the "titles" of the other armors would be. For example Flamedramon is the Fire of Courage, Halsemon is the Wings of Love, and Digmon is the Drill of -Power- Knowledge and so on.
Ok since this hasn’t been mentioned video games essentially confirm that armor digimon are both armor level which is champion in strength but are ultimate or mega if evolved from a difference source
While these are of course are based on adventure mindset and setting, mine partners wormmon and v-mon(who are apparently girls now because World Next Order say so), evolve with knowledge armors like this: wormmon->searchmon ->blue atlur kabuterimon->quantumon, because atlur kabu is obvious and quantumon is quite based around studying stuff And v-mon is very obvious, LOL, v-mon->honeybeemon->cannonbeemon->queenbeemon
Curious, I always felt that if you can't use the ultimate you want they would just lean into secondary theming e.g digmon is a mole cross beatle but there are no mole digimon it can become so bug it is but if not bug you could go with the third and use metallic themes
To keep it simple, we could keep it to the six starters (three for Aiba and three for Keisuke if you forgot) My own little ultra fanfic-y concept for a Cyber Sleuth sequel actually contains Eater-ified versions of Omnimon Alter-B and ChaosGallantmon, so... ye
What are your thoughts on Okuwamon as a bridge between Searchmon and GrandisKuwagamon? I was a little surprised that he didn't get a mention as an option, but I do agree that MetalKabuterimon is a pretty nice pick.
I wanna hug whoever created Hudiemon AND slap whoever decided it should be a Champion (if both are the same person they still get the slap), IT'S PRACTICALLY A BIOMERGE *_AND_* IT HAPPENS AT A POINT IN THE STORY WHERE A CHAMPION IS COMPLETELY USELESS, SHE SHOULD'VE BEEN A MEGA, DAMN IT
Wait there a QueenBeeMom? Man...I been watch all of Pokemon games...There almost complete no "bug" type in Digimon....if I recall... Hmmm........?.............! (Idea) Hey Karn. Is there anyone in your youtube friend circle can do a chat live stream... Subject. What would the "Type" be for Digimon? Let us use Aguman for easy explain. In Rookie I say pure fire type. In Champ. Ground/Fire. (Ground if Geogreymon) Ultimate pure Dragon or double type Dragon/Fire (i say Dragon/Fire for both Agumon line Savers and Adventure or you can split them if you wish )

If QueenBeemon wasn't Butterflymon's Mega, I would've been concerned, lol.
Ahahahahaha
Definitely the toughest one to date. But I do like the connection between Veemon and and Wormmon. You kinda sold me on Hawkmon's too ngl
I don't think you realize how genius using Butenmon actually is. Butenmon is a samurai (we all know that part), and samurai have a connection to beetles, with the Japanese word for beetle "Kabuto" being derived from the kabuto helmets worn by samurai.
Shiiiiit, great point!
@@Karn_EX You made a galaxy brain play without even realizing it
Everytime we have a video themed around insectoid Digimon, its a hard reminder of how small that family is. Even with the new Queen Bee hive lines.
BEES!!
Also, I kind of headcanon that the 02 partner Digimon secretly have the Ancient Warrior Spirits as their megas, so seeing AncientBeetlemon considered for Searchmon's possible evo was pretty cool!
honestly, I love everything about this. I love how you have Ken and Davis/Daisuke as a pair and Takeru and Hikari as pairs as well. Great job!
Ooo I love the Queenbeemon and Tigervespamon mirrors :)
Veemon and Wormmon's lines were my favourites though. (The mirrors here are VERY close second XD)
Quality Karn yet again
I like how the purple hair of Queenbeemon translates the Purple from Gatomon and Butterflymon.
Very true!
I also find that Queenbeemon's fur(?) around the neck, wrist, and ankle areas to be pretty prominent, giving a white and purple visual cohesion with Gatomon and Butterflymon
Karn’s just putting out content for me now. Love it my man!
I can see TyrantKabuterimon for Wormmon's mega, it'd continue the more mechanical feel and the color too.
I agree Karn... we ABSOLUTELY need more bug Digimon for sure!
Really love these videos. Insights behind each of these never fail to be interesting and thought provoking even if I have a different philosophy for a couple digivolutions.
Honestly I could have seen MetallifeKuwagamon as the Searchmon ultimate over MetalKabuterimon, but the latter works too
For Hawkmon, the mega could also be Slayerdramon, so it can connect to Armadillomon's Breakdramon, since Yolie and Cody happen to be good friends, and Butenmon also has blue in on it's body, therefore y'know
Love the videos also I know digimon survive is not really a topic anymore but I always thought it would be cool if the original adventure partners digivolved like Yakima’s agumon
Takuma’s
I only needed 2 seconds of this video to know I was gonna love it. FANBEEMON EVOS HYPE!!!!!
Haha let's go!
KARN EX I LOVE VIDEOS
Come on knowledge let's go I've been waiting for this one
Loved the video Karn, you never miss.
Thank you!

Best ad segue I've seen on the platform all month
I try my best to make them fun haha
@@Karn_EX it was more than fun, it was smooth - like butter
Happy Sunday Karn EX!
Same to you!
We really do need more insectoid digimon, especially ones not tied to Tentomon, Wormmon, and Funbeemon.
Shivamon could somewhat tie thematically into Gatomon since it has a Light theme and flows off of Eosmon being blue, but it is rather masculine considering how feminine-presenting the line is.

Man Flybeemon is going to need that custom art soon.
Interesting ideas.
Seriously, Queen Beemon is perfect for Butterflamon, it just is.
Question - Digimon Survive as anime, what do you think, Karn?
As much as Patamon and Gatomon have connections throughout their Digivolution lines, I do not ship them, nor do I ship TK and Kari.
Just thought I’d make that clear.
That being said, these choices are amazing! And the QueenBeemon also works with the “Queen Kari” motif given by the Numemon!
Mothmon gives me terriermon and its evolution vibes

Thank you! Working toward a solution currently :)
Hm, maybe QueenBeemon as Morphomon mega kinda works...
Butterfly!!!! Onnn Myyyy LOOOOOOVVVE!!!!!!
Oh yeah of course not that one lol, really hyped about future videos too, see ya on there lol
And yeah, another amazing episode, and digivolutions were amazing! (First at the beginning with breakdramon focusing on drills, my Armadillomon, Digmon with Dorulumon because of drills)
Also had Mothmon as a champion for Morphomon as an homage to Terriermon (Willis or Henry), vaccine rookie with gattling gun champion (canonbeemon, vespamon and tigervespamon) but that's if I had Morphomon as my digimon partner. Morphomon Momentai!
Anyway, really liked Gatomon Knowledge mega as QueenBeemon!

Ultra levels like milleniumon, apokarimon, etc can’t be used in place of a mega
I foam at the mouth for PATAMON and GATOMON.
Digimon content is the best content ❤️
Glad you think so!
Could have seen Shivamon as an evolution for one of them but these are all great
I know youre using the adventure rookies for this but i still really like the idea of kokuwamon becoming searchmon
Lesgooooo more takari fuel for my first ever ship
Now here, because GrandisKuwagamon Honey Mode looks like it armor digivolved with the digi-egg of knowledge! (Well, I mean, it was a Fusion of GrandisKuwagamon and HoneyBeemon, but still!) (also it's mega level I think?) IT (KINDA) FITS FOR WORMMON SINCE GRANDISKUWAGAMON IS ASSOCIATED WITH WORMMON DIGIVOLUTION LINE!
I'm surprised I haven't seen waspmon mentioned for any of the champion levels
A welcome birthday surprise i must say
Happy birthday!
@@Karn_EX thank you!
I made my Searchmon line go Wormmon => Searchmon => MetallifeKuwagamon => TyrantKabuterimon.
These were good choices I like Armadillomon to Digmon to MetalifeKowagamon to BreakDramon Patamon to Mothmon to Vespamon to TigerVespamon Gatomon to Mothmon but I would use SetSelphimon as the Ultimate to QueenBeemon for Veemon digivolve to HoneyBeemon to Climbmon to GrandKuwagamon for Wormmon digvolves to Searchmon to MetalKabuterimon to Shivamon as a reference to when Ken was a Genius for Hawkmon to FlyBeemon to AlterBalistamon it’s part Red to TyrantKabterimon.

Haha maybe a Short or something for each egg
Ok since this hasn’t been mentioned video games essentially confirm that armor digimon are both armor level which is champion in strength but are ultimate or mega if evolved from a difference source
We really do just need a flat out "Beemon" huh.
Hm, nice, I wonder which are left?
Also, i wonder how a Custom Art Version would be like?
The lack of Bugmons is apparent here for sure
While these are of course are based on adventure mindset and setting, mine partners wormmon and v-mon(who are apparently girls now because World Next Order say so), evolve with knowledge armors like this: wormmon->searchmon ->blue atlur kabuterimon->quantumon, because atlur kabu is obvious and quantumon is quite based around studying stuff
And v-mon is very obvious, LOL, v-mon->honeybeemon->cannonbeemon->queenbeemon
Take a drink every time he says "bee"! 😅 🍺
I know it didn't exist when you did the original video but what about digmon going to forgebeemon before ending on tigervespamon?
Curious, I always felt that if you can't use the ultimate you want they would just lean into secondary theming e.g digmon is a mole cross beatle but there are no mole digimon it can become so bug it is but if not bug you could go with the third and use metallic themes
If they evolved further we wouldn't have the masterpiece of Shakkoumon.
We could have both
What if Digimon Cyber Sleuth had Eater Digimon forms, like Digimon merged with aspects of the Eaters sorta like Omni-Enhancments from Ben 10.
Sounds kind of similar to what they did with the spirals from rearise
To keep it simple, we could keep it to the six starters (three for Aiba and three for Keisuke if you forgot)

Yeah misspoke my b
Searchmon to Okuamon to GrandisKuwagumon seems like a no-brainer to me but hey to each there own.
Now I wish they HAD evolved while armour evoled
Hey Karn, would you accept fan submitted art for videos like this, or would you rather stick to art you've commissioned?
And then they all combine into Swarmon
Personally, I think Cyberdramon 2010 works really well as Flybeemon evo.
Definitely was in consideration

Flybeemon is the most coherent
Flybeemon to Skull Scorpiomon...

Wait there a QueenBeeMom?
Man...I been watch all of Pokemon games...There almost complete no "bug" type in Digimon....if I recall...
Hmmm........?.............! (Idea)
Hey Karn. Is there anyone in your youtube friend circle can do a chat live stream...
Subject.
What would the "Type" be for Digimon?
Let us use Aguman for easy explain. In Rookie I say pure fire type. In Champ. Ground/Fire. (Ground if Geogreymon) Ultimate pure Dragon or double type Dragon/Fire (i say Dragon/Fire for both Agumon line Savers and Adventure or you can split them if you wish )
Tailmon/Gatomon is in adult level, not child
As I very much address in literally all of these videos she is depowered due to lack of tail ring to level equivalent to Rookie
