I don't know of a good Ultimate but I like Yaksamon into Gaioumon then Gaioumon: Itto Mode because not only do they both duel wield swords but Yaksamon's Special Move is Ittouryoudan, also despite Yaksamon being a Demon Man, he is the armor form of Veemon so him becoming a Dragon Man type works. I also like Yaksamon becoming Vajramon because the Deva are Yaksa and Vajramon duel wields swords.
Big wow for Ponchomon's line. Finally, that digimon got good treatment and Pumpkinmon is really solid pick for Ponchomon. For Nohemon, yes, I know that the crow is real digimon, but it could have some good connection with Zamielmon, who also has archery attacks. And, good mega for that line could be Pinocchimon, Lotusmon (why not) or even some ancient digimon (A. Troiamon or A. Irismon).
@@TheGolux Size doesn't matter, because we already have evolution lines where bigger digimon becomes smaller. Also, various digimon have different size - Monzaemon, for example, he is huge in Adventure, but in Frontier, he is just a bit taller than Takuya and Kouji.
@@MegaGigaPetarD Oh I know that but it was a story thing on the episode where they fought him, where he was normally huge but ate special honey to make himself small, so they took away the honey thinking it'd make him slow and stuff but it didn't
I agree with you. Pinocchiomon has the capability to evolve into Ancient Troiamon; the Ancient Spirit of Wood making it a perfect choice for the sincerity armor, considering its connection with plants.
Maybe Tonosama Mamemon can be a ShogunGekomon mega? In addition to the shared prefix in Japan, he works great for Sincerity, traditional Japanese aesthetics + fights with cherry blossoms for the plant life connection.
5:25 I always thought that ShogunGekomon deserved a mega but I hadn't even considered ExTyrannomon... Thinking about it, there are so many Digimon that are over 25 years old at this point like Cyclomon, Roachmon, Drimogemon and Jyagamon as well without canon evos
An evolution I like for Nohemon is Zamielmon to keep the archer/ranger theme. After that it could go either into Pinochimon/Puppetmon to go back to the puppet type of Nohemon and also have a general of the Big Death-Stars evolving into one of the Dark masters or the new Cernumon who has hunting horn as horns and is based on Cernunnos a god often associated with the wild hunt to keep an hunter theme in the line.
3:42 I cannot believe it took me this long to notice that Oboromon has a horse leg sprouting from its chest, indicating the future Zanbamon evolution. How did I not notice that?
And have the 02 kids all get new crests too (maybe even tamers.... just do everyone lol jk jk). I can see Cody being Discipline Yoli being something like Compassion (maybe to close to Love?) Davis being Humility. This could be like a whole character development thing since he's a little too boastful. Have him grow into the leader he's meant to be, and have TK acknowledge him as the leader. Who else we got? Willis, Meiko, the new one, the original 5 from Tri, Takato and the other Tamers. This is at least a 3 or 4 episode mini series Karn. Maybe more if you wanted to do like game characters or something.
I like the progression of Nohemon to Vulturemon, just feels like such a tone shift into it and then back into Ravemon. I love how all of these lines feel distinct next to each other with each of them being able to take the attributes of the virtue in their own path.
I have had a idea since back to the 2nd and 4th season of Digimon. What if you could use more than one Digi Egg on one Digimon? Including those, which already digivolved either naturally or by Jogress/DNA digivolution? For example: Kindness used on Stingmon. Courage and Friendship used on Xveemon. Courage, Friendship and Kindness used on Paildramon. All digi eggs used on Imperialdramon (Fighter Mode).
@@Karn_EX In all seriousness, I really like how Babamon being a cursed Rosemon gives the whole line a secondary theme of masks and multiple selves, which lines up super well with Gatomon's character arc throughout the series
Wow this is definitely one of the best choices for evolution lines I've seen. They all work so well I could really see them being actual evolution lines
We recently came up witha fun line for Yaksamon. Kotemon> Yaksamon> karatenmon> Slashangemon. Focusing on the magical swordsmen themes as well as a strong sense of justice that is mentioned in Kotemon, yaksamon, and slashangemon. Karatenmon sort of acts as a bridge to introduce the winged elements that then exist in Slashagemon. All of these lines you've picked out are pretty cool! I think my favorite part is Ponchomon lines just because pumpkinmon and Patamon are some of our favorites, and the spooky elements fit well!!
Okay, I HAD to comment on this one because I paused the video before you started each line, and I listed my own picks in my head to compare. No lies, aside from Vulturemon, I managed to pick the same ones you did!! When you got to Gatomon, I thought to myself "I would like Bancho Lilymon for mega, but my lady Babamon is so Japanese wiselady and she hasn't seen any time out yet. But no, surely he wouldn’t..." Then you listed her!!! AHHHHH! ❤❤❤ Also I chose Ebonwumon for my Frogmon-pick, but Eldoradimon is an excellent non-sovereign choice I didn't consider!
If Kenta thought babamon would be a good partner I think she works perfectly here too. Also my little head Canon but gigimon and babamon are just slide evolutions for retired mentor Digimon that rather take care of younger Digimon rather than fight all the time
Man ShogunGekomon really does need that perfect evolution. I've wanted something that incorporated the horns for a while. Best I can think of is JumboGamemon. Which isn't awful for Frogmon either, but it does lose too much of the leaves admittedly. As usual though, V-mon feasting with that line😂
Another connection with vulturemon, that was probably unintentional. It very much gives stingmon vibes for that beginning. Part of Ken's redemption, where he tried to play as a solo act.
Additional point for Kabukimon -> Blossomon: I can kind of see the head petal things (full honesty: I have no idea if they're meant to actually _be_ petals or what) on Kabukimon growing out of control into Blossomon's flower head.
For shogungekomom to evolve into i like bacchusmon a lot. If i remember correctly shogugekomon had connections with sake in the anime. And the share a roundish shape and red-like colour. Also both are related to parties and such
I think if you took Shawujinmon you could make it easily evolve into Ebonwumon or El Doradimon while having an Ultimate who might fit a bit better aesthetically for both Frogmon and who of the two you decide to have him evo into
nice vid, be a cool idea if we could get a look at the concept of armor digimon mode changes. like shirimon says he is the samurai of sincerity but looks like a ninja, i want to see a damn samurai 🤣
I understand what you mean for Yaksamon, but I personally would have done Yaksamon to Grademon because the two training swords turn into actual swords and finally to Gaiomon, which makes sense and Gaiomon is an X-Antibody Digimon, just like Grademon.
I can easily imagine a variant Blossomon, perhaps a KabukiBlossomon, which is the same as Blossomon but with Kabukimon style masks/faces in place of the regular faces.
I love the thematic connections between Babamon and Gatomon so I don't suggest this as a replacement (as a bonus: Jijimon, who acts as a counterpart to Babamon in a lot of media, has a similar paw on his staff to SaberLeomon's claws IMO), but honestly I think BanchoLilymon makes a great Blossomon evolution in general, having that connection to Rosemon as well with her vine yo-yo, and I can see the through line from Kabuki to Blosso to BanchoLily. Gatomon makes an obvious outlier in that line but that just kinda comes with the territory of these evolutions - BanchoLilymon is humanoid like Angewomon, so there, LOL
It definitely could be but with Shurimon, Frogmon and Kabukimon (and even Nohemon with the scarecrow's nose and arrows) it really does have a specifically Japanese lean
I always figured the golden digimentals were the super forms, and kinda always thought any digimon they make would be mega level altho I wonder if armor digivolution would work on higher level digimon? like, if exveemon used courage, would he slide evolve into flamedramon, would he digivolve into a flamedramon that's just at a higher level, or turn into a brand new armor digimon with exveemon as the base rather than veemon this idea could work thematically too! like how veemon can't maintain magnamon due to the power, higher levels might drain the energy faster, like ssj3 in dbz. it could be a fun narrative push to raise the stakes of the battle
I think Pumpkinmon works well in this specific line because Ponchomon is already the odd one out that doesn't follow the traditional japanese style. And Pumpkinmon being a Halloween Pumpkin he has heavy American vibes going and which does kinda connect to Mimi in a weird way. And Patamon does have a connection to Pumpkinmon from that one episode that traumatised a generation during the Myotismon Arc.
I feel like the armor digimon are usually just champions but the idea is that the ones who use the digimental are stronger. kinda like how rapidmon gold is a mega
oh, oh! for ponchomon I like the idea of EITHER boutmon > shroudmon to preserve the Japanese aesthetic as well as the more fighting focus of togemon OR volcamon > pilevolcamon to both preserve the more punchy vibes of ponchomon and togemon, but leaning more into the Latinx vibes of ponchomon! Mimi definitely seems like the type to vacation in Mexico, so maybe some of that energy got into the digimental lmao
I don't hate Babamon as a pick, but I think there could be an argument for a Kuzuhamon or Sakuyamon Maid. Having a Shinto Priestess as the stand in for an angel like creature is fun, but the big paper fan also kinda works as a plant stand-in in my opinion, and it kinda goes full circle with the Kabuki dress thing. Kuzuhamon could be a thing about the darkness in Tailmon as a digimon, and its own maid mode could be a better fit IMHO, but then the color palette is out the window, unless you're counting Blossomon's petals or something. But it really is weird how there are no good ShogunGekomon megas huh
What do you think a genuinely universal Digidestined team could look like? Given how global Digimon is now, I think it's a missed opportunity for all the Digidestined as a maincast only being composed of only Japanese kids. And given connections to the mystical side of things, and a lot of magically-inspired Digimon having a European theme to them, Witchenly's anime series could have the Digidestined truly been from different nationalities and even represent different Fantasy tropes and some of them could practice different kinds of magical traditions that help tie into their Digimon partners.
Continuing off of my last comment if Ken does remain evil he could learn from his failure with chimeramon and the dark spiral and create something new the dark helix which he tests on Wormon causing him to digivolve to Darkstingmon. Ken then moves on to use Darkstingmon to gather more slaves to build the dark tower a perfected version of the dark spire and use it to bring back Myotismon.
For Yaksamon, I have read in the past that Yaksa served under Píshāméntiān, one of the four holy kings. Thus the evolutionary could go Veemon-Yaksamon-Kyukimon-Takutoumon. In regard to Scarecrowmon becoming Vulturemon, in the light novel The Rising of the Shield Hero, Itsuki, the bow hero, could transform his bow into a gun in the later books. Finally, on the note of Kabukimon, I prefer she digivolved into Lilamon then Babamon. Lilamon screams a more elegant and refine dancer. Babamon could represent the retired dancer and teacher for the future generations. I do like your choices, I am just giving my two-cents.
6:04 It isn't the cleanest fit, and I normally prefer Eldoradimon and Ebonwumon anyway if we are coming from ShogunGekomon maybe JumboGamemon? We do lose also of grass elements, but ShogunGekomon was already waning on those. It also keeps the trend of the 3 colors switching places. The red from Frogmon's back becomes ShogunGekomon's body, and then JumboGamemon's belly. JumboGame matches their color schemes of Yellow, Red and Green pretty well, and then maybe the whites on Frogmon and ShogunGekomon. ( Shameless Self Promotion, I also recently made a WaterLilymon and EmpressGekomon ultimate and mega that could work here, in fact I pictured them as possible evolutions for Frogmon and Ranamon, maybe not for Cody's Frogmon, as Armadillomon presents male, but from a Frogmon they could work.) However, if we just did a completely new ultimate and mega, how about Ghilliedhumon and Tlalocmon? I had the connection of those two in a frog themed line pointed out to me on your discord when trying to make a new line for Ranamon, but I think they work just as well for Frogmon if not more so. They definitely fit the grass theme. (Shamless Self Promotion part two. I'm GreyMuro instead of IronMuro on Most Digimon themed Discords including yours, if you ever want to use some of my digimon for a line, or heck need a cheap alternative channel artist I'm available for commissions! IronMuro1 on twitter, and IronMuro on discord!)
Karn EX just hear me out...when it comes to Digimon my knowledge isn't 100% there more like a good 75%. But with Nohemon digivolution, did you ever thought of going outside the box. Since Wormmon a worm, turns into Nohemon that is a birdish digimon, it can go the route of prey to predator. Birds eat worms, so for Nohemon can turn into Mihiramon a cat like digimon. Then for the mega it could turn into a dog like digimon, like Anubismon. Food for thought, always enjoy watching your videos.
ShogunGekomon could evolve to Cemumon maybe? Plant and Horn/Trompete checks out, but yeah not great. Normaly I would say maybe JumboGamemon, but in this line for sure not.
This was good choices I like Hawkmon to Shurimon to Ajatarmon to Bloomlordmon Patamon to Ponchomon to Pumpkinmon to NoblePumpkinmon Veemon to Yaksamon to Fumamon to Tactimon keeps the Japanese feel Armadillomon to Frogmon to ShogunGekomon to Eldoradimon Wormmon to Nohemon to Crowmon to Ravmon Gatomon to Kabukimon to Blossomon to Lotusmon it would be a good alternative to Rosemon.
just had a random idea for a fixed Sincerity armor for Patamon Kurokomon- A leafy ninja who can hide in plain sight. To balance with Gatomon's Kabukimon as the Kuroko were basically the stage hands for Kabuki theater.
ShogunGekomon definitely needs an evolution. Pukumon has been used in the past but that doesn't really satisfy me. While on the topic we really need more snake digimon. There's only really 2 or 3 and the main 2 are the same level so they can't even be used in the same line
For the Necklace of *Rosemon/Babamon,* that's known as *the 'Tifaret'* - a Spiritual Bead Necklace that becomes empowered and is employed as an Attack *when Rosemon enters its Burst Mode.* I assume the *Crest of Light* on it is _meant to portray that sense of Spiritual Holiness to it,_ given that Religious Faith isn't necessarily followed in the Digital World, just the Data about it, and *the Angelic Digimon and the Crest of Light that is heavily related to them* is *_the closest thing to a (Legally-Usable) Holy Symbol they had at the Time..._* On a Different note, has Anyone ever explained exactly why in _Digimon Tamers_ the *DigiEntelechia* - the System Program that initiates Digivolution, _known as the 'Light of Digivolution' to the Dubbed Audience_ - was taken and reformed into *Calumon/Culumon?* There were some excuses given in games like the _Digimon World DS_ series of games, but I don't think that'd be Translatable to the Tamers World, and I don't believe the Infighting between the *Digimon Sovereigns* merits that sort of Measure - plus *the whole D-Reaper thing* came completely out of Nowhere with no sort of Prophetic Predictions foreshadowing it, and there'd be _no reason it'd target the DigiEntelechia to warrant the Transformation to begin with._ AFaIK, the Standing Explanation for _Tamers_ is that *"it just Suddenly gained a Digimon Form, and a desire to Explore and Experience the Digital World for itself"...*
Okay, seemingly *the Reason for Calumon's Creation* was to Disguise the Function to *prevent the D-Reaper Program from noticing the quick Advancements in the Digital World,* triggering its Activation _and beginning Digital Armageddon._ This Plan, while looking okay on Paper: caused a Massive Change in the Digital Environment; *started a War between the Four Sovereigns* over the Actions (secretly taken by *Azulongmon)* causing this; and in the End, _still didn't accomplish its Desired Intentions,_ with the Interdimensional Incident *still resulting in Awakening the D-Reaper and the potential Deletion of both Digital and Human Worlds!* While the D-Reaper Threat was defeated in the Digital World, it was *only possible with the Power of the DigiEntelechia, Calumon,* which _wouldn't have been Available if Azulongmon's failed plan hadn't played out how it did._ Plus, after the D-Reaper was rediscovered in the Human World, the Sovereigns did *nothing* to assist the Humans, leaving it up to *the Human Scientist that helped to Create their World, SHIBUMI,* to create _the Tools the Tamers would use to fight the D-Reaper in the Human World_ - despite *their Actions and Infighting being the cause of all this in the First Place!*
I would have said Blossomon to Lotusmon to keep a similarity to Rosemon and keep an angelic like appearance to parallel the fallen angel athstetic of patamons mega
Dear Karn Ex Youve said your digimon would would be Fanbeemon and i noticed there were no Welsh digidestaned in adventure 02 so what other digimon lines would fit a Welsh team
I wonder if Oboromon is supposed to be for Yaksamon the same way Manticoremon is supposed to be for Gargomon. Maybe they're giving all the Veemon Armors proper evolutions.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD! Fancy seeing you here! Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday, if you like and subscribe I'll be having a lovely Sunday too ;)
Another great video
I don't know of a good Ultimate but I like Yaksamon into Gaioumon then Gaioumon: Itto Mode because not only do they both duel wield swords but Yaksamon's Special Move is Ittouryoudan, also despite Yaksamon being a Demon Man, he is the armor form of Veemon so him becoming a Dragon Man type works. I also like Yaksamon becoming Vajramon because the Deva are Yaksa and Vajramon duel wields swords.
For Frogmon I love having it digivolve to Petaldramon and then ElDoradimon.
I did not know Noblepumpkinmon existed, but now I see that the world is a better place than I thought
Big wow for Ponchomon's line. Finally, that digimon got good treatment and Pumpkinmon is really solid pick for Ponchomon.
For Nohemon, yes, I know that the crow is real digimon, but it could have some good connection with Zamielmon, who also has archery attacks. And, good mega for that line could be Pinocchimon, Lotusmon (why not) or even some ancient digimon (A. Troiamon or A. Irismon).
Zamielmon is also deceptive, at least in the anime where it keeps itself small to look less threatening
@@TheGolux Size doesn't matter, because we already have evolution lines where bigger digimon becomes smaller.
Also, various digimon have different size - Monzaemon, for example, he is huge in Adventure, but in Frontier, he is just a bit taller than Takuya and Kouji.
@@MegaGigaPetarD Oh I know that but it was a story thing on the episode where they fought him, where he was normally huge but ate special honey to make himself small, so they took away the honey thinking it'd make him slow and stuff but it didn't
I agree with you. Pinocchiomon has the capability to evolve into Ancient Troiamon; the Ancient Spirit of Wood making it a perfect choice for the sincerity armor, considering its connection with plants.
That Veemon line feels GREAT. Like, I could really see that happening
Maybe Tonosama Mamemon can be a ShogunGekomon mega? In addition to the shared prefix in Japan, he works great for Sincerity, traditional Japanese aesthetics + fights with cherry blossoms for the plant life connection.
5:25 I always thought that ShogunGekomon deserved a mega but I hadn't even considered ExTyrannomon... Thinking about it, there are so many Digimon that are over 25 years old at this point like Cyclomon, Roachmon, Drimogemon and Jyagamon as well without canon evos
An evolution I like for Nohemon is Zamielmon to keep the archer/ranger theme. After that it could go either into Pinochimon/Puppetmon to go back to the puppet type of Nohemon and also have a general of the Big Death-Stars evolving into one of the Dark masters or the new Cernumon who has hunting horn as horns and is based on Cernunnos a god often associated with the wild hunt to keep an hunter theme in the line.
3:42 I cannot believe it took me this long to notice that Oboromon has a horse leg sprouting from its chest, indicating the future Zanbamon evolution.
How did I not notice that?
I cannot unsee in now 😳
Lordy, lordy, these are PERFECT lines! Nearly 100% the same lines I've thought about myself. Absolutely can't wait to see future ones get cooked up!
Ayy glad you think similarly!
I've always liked Pumpmon as an evo for Panchomon
You should do a video about Creating New
and original Crests, for the people like the Movie characters.
Fun idea!
And have the 02 kids all get new crests too (maybe even tamers.... just do everyone lol jk jk).
I can see Cody being Discipline
Yoli being something like Compassion (maybe to close to Love?)
Davis being Humility. This could be like a whole character development thing since he's a little too boastful. Have him grow into the leader he's meant to be, and have TK acknowledge him as the leader.
Who else we got? Willis, Meiko, the new one, the original 5 from Tri, Takato and the other Tamers. This is at least a 3 or 4 episode mini series Karn. Maybe more if you wanted to do like game characters or something.
I am so happy you used Pumpkinmon/NoblePumkinmon for Ponchomon! THat's my favorite route to take them.
Babamon is a genius choice!
Thank you!
Nohemon into Vulturemon is one of the best Digmon connections I've ever seen
These are actually some great picks! They really flow together nicely, which isn't always the case using pre-existing digimon. Great work!
Thanks bud!
I like the progression of Nohemon to Vulturemon, just feels like such a tone shift into it and then back into Ravemon. I love how all of these lines feel distinct next to each other with each of them being able to take the attributes of the virtue in their own path.
I have had a idea since back to the 2nd and 4th season of Digimon.
What if you could use more than one Digi Egg on one Digimon?
Including those, which already digivolved either naturally or by Jogress/DNA digivolution?
For example:
Kindness used on Stingmon.
Courage and Friendship used on Xveemon.
Courage, Friendship and Kindness used on Paildramon.
All digi eggs used on Imperialdramon (Fighter Mode).
Awesome video
I'm surprised by how much I like that bridge from Ponchomon to Pumpkinmon.
Happy Sunday Karn EX!
And YES to more further Armor Evolution!
I truly love the edginess of Vulturemon. Sniper vulture is not something I thought I’d like but it looks amazing in a “oh that cool!” way
I can only imagine how much restraint it took not to have Blossomon evolve into Hydramon
lmaoooo
@@Karn_EX In all seriousness, I really like how Babamon being a cursed Rosemon gives the whole line a secondary theme of masks and multiple selves, which lines up super well with Gatomon's character arc throughout the series
Wow this is definitely one of the best choices for evolution lines I've seen. They all work so well I could really see them being actual evolution lines
Thank you very much!
Sincerity! My favorite Crest and Digimental.
Karn! Awesome vid! Thanks for always delivering great content and keeping my digimon cravings satisfied during breaks between media!!
Aww hey thank you, glad to be of help!
You are too good at this. Perfect choices
2:25 I always saw this guy as a ultimate level Evo for Dinohumon personally
I love pumpkinmon line coming from ponchomon. I think it fits great.
We recently came up witha fun line for Yaksamon. Kotemon> Yaksamon> karatenmon> Slashangemon. Focusing on the magical swordsmen themes as well as a strong sense of justice that is mentioned in Kotemon, yaksamon, and slashangemon. Karatenmon sort of acts as a bridge to introduce the winged elements that then exist in Slashagemon.
All of these lines you've picked out are pretty cool! I think my favorite part is Ponchomon lines just because pumpkinmon and Patamon are some of our favorites, and the spooky elements fit well!!
Okay, I HAD to comment on this one because I paused the video before you started each line, and I listed my own picks in my head to compare. No lies, aside from Vulturemon, I managed to pick the same ones you did!! When you got to Gatomon, I thought to myself "I would like Bancho Lilymon for mega, but my lady Babamon is so Japanese wiselady and she hasn't seen any time out yet. But no, surely he wouldn’t..." Then you listed her!!! AHHHHH! ❤❤❤
Also I chose Ebonwumon for my Frogmon-pick, but Eldoradimon is an excellent non-sovereign choice I didn't consider!
These feels like an especially inspired list. Great picks!
Yay! Thank you!
If Kenta thought babamon would be a good partner I think she works perfectly here too. Also my little head Canon but gigimon and babamon are just slide evolutions for retired mentor Digimon that rather take care of younger Digimon rather than fight all the time
These are good! Love the Patamon Evo line
had no idea about the babamon rosemon thing. amazing!
I hope the love of this digi armor series will bring back the other popular custom art digi armor series... Please?
That series hasn't gone anywhere It's just an as and when series because of the cost and time involved.
Man ShogunGekomon really does need that perfect evolution. I've wanted something that incorporated the horns for a while. Best I can think of is JumboGamemon. Which isn't awful for Frogmon either, but it does lose too much of the leaves admittedly.
As usual though, V-mon feasting with that line😂
I like Suijinmon. Its red and a japanese water god. The trumpets become the shoulder cannons.
@@couchpotato3197 oooh I really like that!
Yo, Suijinmon is so perfect!!
Really liking your armors so far and you really delivered! ^v^
Thank you so much!
Another connection with vulturemon, that was probably unintentional. It very much gives stingmon vibes for that beginning. Part of Ken's redemption, where he tried to play as a solo act.
I sincerely enjoyed this video!
I know its a good day when karn uploads and when its a video in a series
Additional point for Kabukimon -> Blossomon: I can kind of see the head petal things (full honesty: I have no idea if they're meant to actually _be_ petals or what) on Kabukimon growing out of control into Blossomon's flower head.
Definitely another great video
Glad you think so!
Always a good day when NoblePumpkinmon is in the house!
For shogungekomom to evolve into i like bacchusmon a lot. If i remember correctly shogugekomon had connections with sake in the anime. And the share a roundish shape and red-like colour. Also both are related to parties and such
Very nice ideas, now what’s next?
Light perhaps?
We shall see!
Courage, Friendship, and then Sincerity; very Bandai of you, love it.
Haha love will be next, I just got inspired by the grassy ninja vibes
I think if you took Shawujinmon you could make it easily evolve into Ebonwumon or El Doradimon while having an Ultimate who might fit a bit better aesthetically for both Frogmon and who of the two you decide to have him evo into
Oooooh Yay Always a underated Armor evolution
nice vid, be a cool idea if we could get a look at the concept of armor digimon mode changes. like shirimon says he is the samurai of sincerity but looks like a ninja, i want to see a damn samurai 🤣
for Impmon/Yakzamon you could also use Gaioumon/Samudramon as the Mega, a Dragon-Man Samurai
I understand what you mean for Yaksamon, but I personally would have done Yaksamon to Grademon because the two training swords turn into actual swords and finally to Gaiomon, which makes sense and Gaiomon is an X-Antibody Digimon, just like Grademon.
Also a fun line!
I was thinking Dynesmon as the mega, but yea I can definitely see Gaiomon too.
Karn...man i really enjoyed your picks on this one. The Babamon reference and tie ins were dope.
Who else could you use instead of Blossomon?
I think rather than Babamon something that fits Kabukimon and Blossomon theme really well is Hydramon where those flower/vine arms turn into heads...
An Evo I think works for Oboromon is Mitamamon, not sure why, just feels like it fits to me.
I can easily imagine a variant Blossomon, perhaps a KabukiBlossomon, which is the same as Blossomon but with Kabukimon style masks/faces in place of the regular faces.
ShogunGekomon can go to TonosamaMamemon, very japanese flavored and its attack is a cherry blossom blizzard for the plant theme
Yeah, Babamon is a cursed Rosemon. Is actually a heavy plot point in the Digimon TCG videogame that released on the PS1.
I love the thematic connections between Babamon and Gatomon so I don't suggest this as a replacement (as a bonus: Jijimon, who acts as a counterpart to Babamon in a lot of media, has a similar paw on his staff to SaberLeomon's claws IMO), but honestly I think BanchoLilymon makes a great Blossomon evolution in general, having that connection to Rosemon as well with her vine yo-yo, and I can see the through line from Kabuki to Blosso to BanchoLily. Gatomon makes an obvious outlier in that line but that just kinda comes with the territory of these evolutions - BanchoLilymon is humanoid like Angewomon, so there, LOL
Shogun Gekomon digivolving into Emperor Gekomon sounds good moving up in rank from ninja to shogun to emperor
I tend to interpret the Sincerity theme as grass + weapons
It definitely could be but with Shurimon, Frogmon and Kabukimon (and even Nohemon with the scarecrow's nose and arrows) it really does have a specifically Japanese lean
I always figured the golden digimentals were the super forms, and kinda always thought any digimon they make would be mega level
altho I wonder if armor digivolution would work on higher level digimon? like, if exveemon used courage, would he slide evolve into flamedramon, would he digivolve into a flamedramon that's just at a higher level, or turn into a brand new armor digimon with exveemon as the base rather than veemon
this idea could work thematically too! like how veemon can't maintain magnamon due to the power, higher levels might drain the energy faster, like ssj3 in dbz. it could be a fun narrative push to raise the stakes of the battle
I think Pumpkinmon works well in this specific line because Ponchomon is already the odd one out that doesn't follow the traditional japanese style. And Pumpkinmon being a Halloween Pumpkin he has heavy American vibes going and which does kinda connect to Mimi in a weird way. And Patamon does have a connection to Pumpkinmon from that one episode that traumatised a generation during the Myotismon Arc.
I feel like the armor digimon are usually just champions but the idea is that the ones who use the digimental are stronger. kinda like how rapidmon gold is a mega
Hope you're having a good day
oh, oh! for ponchomon I like the idea of EITHER boutmon > shroudmon to preserve the Japanese aesthetic as well as the more fighting focus of togemon
OR
volcamon > pilevolcamon to both preserve the more punchy vibes of ponchomon and togemon, but leaning more into the Latinx vibes of ponchomon! Mimi definitely seems like the type to vacation in Mexico, so maybe some of that energy got into the digimental lmao
Solid lines
Thanks!
For Kabukimon, I think Babamon works, but I think Lotusmon fits really well too
Leviamon being Gekomon mega makes also sense
I don't hate Babamon as a pick, but I think there could be an argument for a Kuzuhamon or Sakuyamon Maid. Having a Shinto Priestess as the stand in for an angel like creature is fun, but the big paper fan also kinda works as a plant stand-in in my opinion, and it kinda goes full circle with the Kabuki dress thing. Kuzuhamon could be a thing about the darkness in Tailmon as a digimon, and its own maid mode could be a better fit IMHO, but then the color palette is out the window, unless you're counting Blossomon's petals or something.
But it really is weird how there are no good ShogunGekomon megas huh
I don't think I will ever get over Pumkinmon being an Ultimate
What do you think a genuinely universal Digidestined team could look like? Given how global Digimon is now, I think it's a missed opportunity for all the Digidestined as a maincast only being composed of only Japanese kids. And given connections to the mystical side of things, and a lot of magically-inspired Digimon having a European theme to them, Witchenly's anime series could have the Digidestined truly been from different nationalities and even represent different Fantasy tropes and some of them could practice different kinds of magical traditions that help tie into their Digimon partners.
Continuing off of my last comment if Ken does remain evil he could learn from his failure with chimeramon and the dark spiral and create something new the dark helix which he tests on Wormon causing him to digivolve to Darkstingmon. Ken then moves on to use Darkstingmon to gather more slaves to build the dark tower a perfected version of the dark spire and use it to bring back Myotismon.
For Yaksamon, I have read in the past that Yaksa served under Píshāméntiān, one of the four holy kings. Thus the evolutionary could go Veemon-Yaksamon-Kyukimon-Takutoumon.
In regard to Scarecrowmon becoming Vulturemon, in the light novel The Rising of the Shield Hero, Itsuki, the bow hero, could transform his bow into a gun in the later books. Finally, on the note of Kabukimon, I prefer she digivolved into Lilamon then Babamon. Lilamon screams a more elegant and refine dancer. Babamon could represent the retired dancer and teacher for the future generations. I do like your choices, I am just giving my two-cents.
Kabukimon always felt like an Ultimate for me
Voltruemon is cool so I pick him. Though he is new to me
6:04 It isn't the cleanest fit, and I normally prefer Eldoradimon and Ebonwumon anyway if we are coming from ShogunGekomon maybe JumboGamemon? We do lose also of grass elements, but ShogunGekomon was already waning on those. It also keeps the trend of the 3 colors switching places. The red from Frogmon's back becomes ShogunGekomon's body, and then JumboGamemon's belly. JumboGame matches their color schemes of Yellow, Red and Green pretty well, and then maybe the whites on Frogmon and ShogunGekomon. ( Shameless Self Promotion, I also recently made a WaterLilymon and EmpressGekomon ultimate and mega that could work here, in fact I pictured them as possible evolutions for Frogmon and Ranamon, maybe not for Cody's Frogmon, as Armadillomon presents male, but from a Frogmon they could work.)
However, if we just did a completely new ultimate and mega, how about Ghilliedhumon and Tlalocmon? I had the connection of those two in a frog themed line pointed out to me on your discord when trying to make a new line for Ranamon, but I think they work just as well for Frogmon if not more so. They definitely fit the grass theme. (Shamless Self Promotion part two. I'm GreyMuro instead of IronMuro on Most Digimon themed Discords including yours, if you ever want to use some of my digimon for a line, or heck need a cheap alternative channel artist I'm available for commissions! IronMuro1 on twitter, and IronMuro on discord!)
I kinda like Bacchusmon as ShogunGekomon's Mega
I always liked ShogunGekomon turning into Bacchausmon. Fits his hedonistic lazy personality.
kabukimon should have the mega hydramon cause it looks like kabukimon has 3 heads and keeps the plant theme
Karn EX just hear me out...when it comes to Digimon my knowledge isn't 100% there more like a good 75%. But with Nohemon digivolution, did you ever thought of going outside the box. Since Wormmon a worm, turns into Nohemon that is a birdish digimon, it can go the route of prey to predator. Birds eat worms, so for Nohemon can turn into Mihiramon a cat like digimon. Then for the mega it could turn into a dog like digimon, like Anubismon. Food for thought, always enjoy watching your videos.
My head canon is Bacchusmon is ShogunGekomon's mega
ShogunGekomon could evolve to Cemumon maybe?
Plant and Horn/Trompete checks out, but yeah not great.
Normaly I would say maybe JumboGamemon, but in this line for sure not.
Haha definitely considered Cernumon! Thought people might yell at me for recency bias
I'm part of the late squad lmao!
This was good choices I like Hawkmon to Shurimon to Ajatarmon to Bloomlordmon Patamon to Ponchomon to Pumpkinmon to NoblePumpkinmon Veemon to Yaksamon to Fumamon to Tactimon keeps the Japanese feel Armadillomon to Frogmon to ShogunGekomon to Eldoradimon Wormmon to Nohemon to Crowmon to Ravmon Gatomon to Kabukimon to Blossomon to Lotusmon it would be a good alternative to Rosemon.
just had a random idea for a fixed Sincerity armor for Patamon
Kurokomon- A leafy ninja who can hide in plain sight.
To balance with Gatomon's Kabukimon as the Kuroko were basically the stage hands for Kabuki theater.
Yay, I love these videos!
I love seeing armor evolutions show up.
Shurimon's evolution was awesome.
I'm really glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!
Can i please recommend that you give full lines for the hope armors. Please and thank you
Yup, that's in the pipeline! Thank you!
What if every digidestined had Agumon but evolved according to their crests / themes
Oh, I _really_ dig these picks!
Glad to hear that, thanks!
ShogunGekomon definitely needs an evolution. Pukumon has been used in the past but that doesn't really satisfy me. While on the topic we really need more snake digimon. There's only really 2 or 3 and the main 2 are the same level so they can't even be used in the same line
Agreed!
The wooden hat or straw hat? Yaksamon can be grass type
Any opportunity to give me Noblepumpkinmon I’m here for it
For the Necklace of *Rosemon/Babamon,* that's known as *the 'Tifaret'* - a Spiritual Bead Necklace that becomes empowered and is employed as an Attack *when Rosemon enters its Burst Mode.* I assume the *Crest of Light* on it is _meant to portray that sense of Spiritual Holiness to it,_ given that Religious Faith isn't necessarily followed in the Digital World, just the Data about it, and *the Angelic Digimon and the Crest of Light that is heavily related to them* is *_the closest thing to a (Legally-Usable) Holy Symbol they had at the Time..._*
On a Different note, has Anyone ever explained exactly why in _Digimon Tamers_ the *DigiEntelechia* - the System Program that initiates Digivolution, _known as the 'Light of Digivolution' to the Dubbed Audience_ - was taken and reformed into *Calumon/Culumon?* There were some excuses given in games like the _Digimon World DS_ series of games, but I don't think that'd be Translatable to the Tamers World, and I don't believe the Infighting between the *Digimon Sovereigns* merits that sort of Measure - plus *the whole D-Reaper thing* came completely out of Nowhere with no sort of Prophetic Predictions foreshadowing it, and there'd be _no reason it'd target the DigiEntelechia to warrant the Transformation to begin with._ AFaIK, the Standing Explanation for _Tamers_ is that *"it just Suddenly gained a Digimon Form, and a desire to Explore and Experience the Digital World for itself"...*
Okay, seemingly *the Reason for Calumon's Creation* was to Disguise the Function to *prevent the D-Reaper Program from noticing the quick Advancements in the Digital World,* triggering its Activation _and beginning Digital Armageddon._
This Plan, while looking okay on Paper: caused a Massive Change in the Digital Environment; *started a War between the Four Sovereigns* over the Actions (secretly taken by *Azulongmon)* causing this; and in the End, _still didn't accomplish its Desired Intentions,_ with the Interdimensional Incident *still resulting in Awakening the D-Reaper and the potential Deletion of both Digital and Human Worlds!*
While the D-Reaper Threat was defeated in the Digital World, it was *only possible with the Power of the DigiEntelechia, Calumon,* which _wouldn't have been Available if Azulongmon's failed plan hadn't played out how it did._ Plus, after the D-Reaper was rediscovered in the Human World, the Sovereigns did *nothing* to assist the Humans, leaving it up to *the Human Scientist that helped to Create their World, SHIBUMI,* to create _the Tools the Tamers would use to fight the D-Reaper in the Human World_ - despite *their Actions and Infighting being the cause of all this in the First Place!*
I would have said Blossomon to Lotusmon to keep a similarity to Rosemon and keep an angelic like appearance to parallel the fallen angel athstetic of patamons mega
Yeah Lotusmon is an okay pick
Maybe the Japanese theming is their way of tying in Mimi’s Japanese roots?
The Sovereigns did create the Digimentals, so I think it would make sense if the Digimentals could also create Sovereigns. A full circle if you will.
Dear Karn Ex
Youve said your digimon would would be Fanbeemon and i noticed there were no Welsh digidestaned in adventure 02 so what other digimon lines would fit a Welsh team
I really want a proper evolution line for frogmon now lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if Oboromon is supposed to be for Yaksamon the same way Manticoremon is supposed to be for Gargomon. Maybe they're giving all the Veemon Armors proper evolutions.
It definitely gives me that vibe! Specifically linking into Zanbamon too
