I think agnimon should have a tail I think that should be allowed

I finally put color on my armorless/maskless design tho! And decided how I wanted to make the arms look. I adapted the symbol from the armor to look like flamon’s markings since it looks so similar already.

Hi. I like your post. I like Frontier but I just watched it as a kid. So, being my favorite season, do you mind giving me some Lore? I just love the idea of a bigger worlbuilding for Frontier.

Don't mind at all, I've been waiting for a work break so I could finally write this.

The lore is already extremely solid for a kids show.  But one thing I always found missing were motivations- for pretty much everything.

Why were the kids chosen?

Where did the Legendary Warriors and Celestial Angels come from?

It's clearly stated that the Ancient Warriors DEFEATED Lucemon, so why is he in some weird chamber in the center of the Digi-world? Why didn't they just scan him?

What’s the status of the Ancient Warriors? God-like? Highly respected? Why choose the Celestial Angels to run the world and then just yeet yourselves off the map?

Was a love triangle really the beginning of the end of the world?

and other world-building questions, such as

Where were the cool deity, ritual things the candlemon did in later episodes?

How do digimon know what humans are... we have human digimon, but do they know that they're based on real humans? are humans a fairytale? whats going on here??

Were there any leftover stigmas between beast and human digimon? Or digimon of different categories and what-not?

Isn't there a government? Why don't we see this government??

HOW WAS SOCIETY FAIRING DURING THE- Y'KNOW- WAR THAT CHERUBIMON WAGED?

basic simple questions (i’m in over my head)

To make it easier to fill in the gaps, let's make a skeleton structure. So far I’ve distinguished four main time periods in the frontier world. I also imagine that the date system is structured around the rise and fall of Lucemon. Like B.R. (before reign) or A.F. (after fall) Lucemon is already based off lucifer, so why not roll with religious references? (also. also... nardo reference. you see you see what i what i-)

I’m gonna focus on the “middle”  time period for this post. Early Lucemon will take too long and I can’t talk about the main story until I rework the kiddies. This is the original exposition we get in the series anyway, might as well start with that. (Also see as I struggle to come up with cool names for things lmao)

[Brief Scanning Explanation]

All digimon have a core that their data forms around. When a digimon’s core hatches in the Village of Beginnings, it’s at it’s purest and most dense form. But over time, corrupt data can flood into the core and change it, a lot like a virus. A ritual called Scanning is able to physically remove the core to the outer shell of the body to allow for clean up. What happens to the Digimon after the ritual depends on how much of their data was corrupted. If more than half the digimon’s data was corrupt, then the remaining, pure data will reform into a digiegg. Essentially “killing” the digimon. If less than half is corrupt, then the digimon will be fine and likely de-volve at most. I’m sure I’ll have to tweak and add exceptions to the rules as I go, but for now this is our basic power system.

-

So, originally, we know the deal. 10 Ancient Warriors gang up on Lucemon, defeat him, Celestial Angels are appointed as president. What are we missing?

Where did the Celestial Angels come from?

Why wasn’t Lucemon just scanned?

The Ancient Warriors realize that Lucemon can’t be defeated so simply. Unlike most digimon, Lucemon had equal amounts of pure and corrupt data at hatching. He’s the living embodiment of Yin and Yang.  Scanning him isn’t going to work for numerous reasons. So instead, they decide to split Lucemon into four parts. Seraphimon, Ophanimon, Cherubimon, and t̶̪́ḧ̴̹̃̑͊e̵̮̙̭̗̹͔͑͗̈́͛̅ ̸̩̳̱̳͎̆ͅH̷̦̐̊̈́̏ͅủ̶͙̼̤͖͔̟s̵͙̘̳̗̰̃͊́̑k̷͙͠. After initially splitting him in half, the warriors  banish Lucemon’s h̴̢̟͓̘͎͗̊̆̍͊̇u̴̯̲͔̮̞͌ş̴̼̃́̊͛ḵ̷̟͒̎̑͜ to the depths of the digital world. The remaining pure data is far too powerful to keep in a single unit, so it’s split into thirds… resulting in the birth of the three Celestial Digimon.

The Ancient warriors go a step further in making sure this asshole doesn’t somehow collect his remaining parts and revive by setting themselves up as protective barriers all throughout the digital world’s weakest points. (The platforms we see the inactive spirits reside in except more.. temply) They’re basically acting as locks that keep the Digital World’s fractal code in place. Afterwards, the Celestial Angels decide to help with governing the digital world as society will likely soon collapse with all the damage that Lucemon instilled over the years.   

That only brings us to the start of the middle period- oh jeez. This is the part where I see in-story exposition becoming shady. Because corrupt governments are so fun to play with. Obviously as the years go by the story of the ancient warriors becomes farther and farther from the truth. But the one main exposition point is that Ophanimon, Cherubimon, and Seraphimon ARE Lucemon.

Now Lucemon has objectives:

Undo the protection codes around the digital world.

Makes fractal code unstable and easier to break out of

Three remaining parts must fall and return to him in order for revival.

Destroy and rebuild the world yada yada

Just imagine our gang not knowing about this and then finding out last minute when its already too late. The ground starts rupturing and shaking and just when they thought they can finally go home- out pops fucking god. And they're the reason that fucking god is here now because they just got played.

probably a normal tuesday for them ngl

I also want to full on integrate digimon categories and power systems, which leads into the existence of cults, wars, armies and the like.. But I can't really flesh out that type of lore untill I rework characters. Needa give a role to Ophanimon and Seraphimon that isn’t damsel in distress, which means equaling out the balance of power- at least at the start…

I am in over my head.

This is why I love the frontier lore. There are so many gaps to fill in and questions to ask. It’s a great exercise for plot construction. Thanks for the ask, anon. Love rambling about this stuff.

Fuck you, it’s funny

Digimon Frontier is a really weird mix of dope ideas, interesting characters, and terrible execution.

It's fascinatingly dull. And fascinatingly interesting.

In so many ways it's just a mediocre children's show in a way only Digimon 2020 seems to match. In a way the only thing that really makes it still feel like a Digimon show (outside of the Digimon) is it's willingness to touch upon darker topics others might not. (death, slavery, war, racism) but on the other hand it's hard to say that's anything about these topics you can't get better from a different Digimon series. Maybe, the rascism? If only because it's not a topic Digimon often handles but frankly outside of Izumi I'd say frontier doesn't even handle it all that well.

The concept of kids becoming Digimon is interesting yet mostly unexplored within the narrative outside of Takuya's relationship with the concept.

And yet I enjoy frontier. It's hard to say why outside of simply like long the main characters. I honestly adore Takuya. But again the execution fumbles. Half the characters are relegated to cheerleaders by the end.

It seems just about everything interesting within the show is ruined by faulty writing.
