Mephistomon EX2-042 and Gulfmon EX2-043 by Hisashi Fujiwara from EX-02 Theme Booster Digital Hazard

[digimontamerrichie-tcg]

Apocalymon resurrects in the Tamers universe as Mephistomon and later Gulfmon, and sends its minions Pipismon and Ponchomon (who still doesn't have a card - wtf Bandai?!) to go be evil and stuff while Takato and Guilmon meet up with Minami Uehara and her partner Labramon to have a Lilo & Stitch adventure. Also Takato has a gay shirts off swimming session with a tanned guy. Okay, it has been years since I saw this movie, I'm, definitely not telling this right... Seasarmon and Xiaomon were probably there too.

... Look, I'm only writing this because the search function sucks and I wanna get the card names in here so I can find them again later, but writing "hashtag whatever" over and over again in the description section is flipping boring.

BT-16 PRERELEASE TOMORROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

[blackdigitalrose]

Thurs - Maho Girls Precure! - EP 44 - 46

EP 44

Mofurun is a bear of few expressions, so this is a rather expressive new one. However, shouldn't Ha-chan be in her little fairy form if regressed down?

How did "Go Away" translate to the Headteacher's office? That's one ridiculous size pancake though.

Again with these odd loyal villain minion groups in these later series. (Still, you have a barely touched, new villain group, why bring them back?)

Aww, disappointment, it started off this way but the end result wasn't chibi Witchy Precure, they turned back to normal part way through the transformation.

Oh, hold up, this was suppose to be a Ha-chan episode...only decided to high light that, about three mins from the end. While the does look super snazzy, I'm not invested, Ha-chan didn't need to become a Precure for her story to continue as it has.

It was a basic Covettor? Why did they need the powered up finisher to defeat it? Why not a traditional nod back one for this ep? (hush, toys, I know but still... )

I think Liko is starting to get hang of this or at least better at spotting these crazy mill tales of theirs. At least Mofurun's story was an easily believable one.

EP 45

With the number you've been suggesting, Maho is about to get a really crammed cast. Even this guy has re-appeared (names escape me entirely)

Ha, they did the thing but were people really asking about this at the time? Was this necessary?

And now the cast know to! Unfortunately, to the audience, it isn't so surprising because you showed us Rapapa looks like Felice, so the mystery was never there.

He has a very Demon Lord appearance, like Gulfmon crossed with Lucemon... Digimon in my Precure again! In equally funny cross over references, Orba's voice has been bugging me for a while and I've just learned who he is, only freakin England from Hetalia .·°՞(˃ ᗜ ˂)՞°·. (It is bizarrely just so fitting but he's also Vanguard's Morikawa... now that's range.)

And just how did that little Lizard manage to get that mannequin into the sky? That is also twice now Batty has stepped up for this lot.

(Seriously, there's something about him that just screams Lucemon >.<) Well the new villain group just took a hit, Orba has been carrying the last nearly dozen eps and now he's gone but it was a cheap way for him to go considering all he's said since he first appeared. I think this takes Batty out of being best villain but a potential good face turn, if we ever do see anymore of what happens to them now?

So basically, this was some kind of redemption like episode all round?

EP 46

XD Even the crystal ball is decorated for Christmas, can she still see through all of that?

Ooh fighting words but a surprising little actual factual nugget of trivia, (general consensus is the mountains between Finland and Russia I believe.)

It's something, a whole incomplete 8 other potential characters to fit in.

(ㆆ_ㆆ)???? umm... no, just no. (sometimes I start to think I'm too cynical for Precure)

Naturally it'd be the red costume for the Christmas ep...

ꉂ (≧ヮ≦) The Manicovettor getting upset because it was denied a Christmas present because it was on the naughty list. I'll give it to Maho, they do give your traditional holiday eps a good twist.

At least it colour matches!

Well if that doesn't settle it, aged up transformations! Katsuki and Mayumi are quite endearing, even if they didn't get the same treatment or as much development as the magic trio.

I can't fault this one for not really building up to the finale because unlike the others, it still has four eps left but in its favour, it has had some major developments building towards in the background at least. All it is really missing is that suspense, or some sort of stakes to kick in because at the mo, it is all funky dory.

Now all it needs is to just pay it all off in a decent way.

Two more sprites to go.

[azaracyy]

soooooo has Pepper ever digivolved? Do you have a planned evolution line for them?

he has, yeah! i just don't talk about it because it doesn't feel as relevant unless there's some actual story discussion... his evolution line isn't that much of a secret, so i'm willing share it no problem 😂

tsukaimon → devidramon → mephistomon → gulfmon tbh i haven't drawn much of devidramon and virtually nothing beyond because the rp groups i used him and elise in didn't last long. they're no longer bound by rp group settings though. i have since written my own story for them, which i work on now and then.

Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers

Eh...gotta be honest, I found this pretty underwhelming. It had its moments, don't get me wrong, but the plot felt pretty generic and the ending was rushed. Still had fun, but the emotional investment was lacking.

Notes:

Reddit told me to watch this after episode 18, so I got the timing a little off, but I felt like it'd be good to watch prior to the digiworld episodes. The only timeline wonkiness is that this takes place before Culumon's kidnapping, which I've already seen, but that's fine.

In another moment of ~fate~ the movie begins with Guilmon dying of heat (not literally lol) and it was "feels like 101" where I am today so...can relate.

I was a pretty sheltered kid, so IDK how I would react to my parents making me travel by myself at 10...not that I'm against that, I just know 10 year old me woulda been a big crybaby about it.

Kinda weird that they gave us 2 title screens for this, one of which was just ripped from the TV show. The whole vibe was kind of a mixed bag in this, sometimes the animation felt pretty much the same quality as the show and sometimes it felt like they were stepping it up, not super consistent.

"Battle of Adventurers" is a pretty uninspired title. I feel like they could have either put something about Okinawa or the v-pet virus in the title instead so it would stand out a bit more...

Speaking of the V-Pet, I thought it was super charming with its crappy CGI lol. I totally would have fell for it in 2001. Kinda hard to believe that literally everyone downloaded it though (doctors, pilots, etc.) Or was it more like that one U2 album that was automatically distributed to everyone?

Guilmon begging to get out of the suitcase was stressful! How did he not suffocate? D: (do digimon even need to breathe?)

They really did the movie-only character (Minami) dirty this time. She had to be re-traumatized about her dead dog so many times! Just felt cruel...

All of the Okinawa cultural stuff was fun, especially the Okinawa-inspired digimon. If Digimon Go was a thing, you know they'd be region specific.

When Ruki's mom was like "oh, it's so comfortable flying on the plane!" I was like "okay, rich." That's the only explanation because flying economy is always a bad time.

Although a lot of the character animation was kinda meh, the battle animation is where this movie really shined. It was like little pockets of hype and there was a really good variety of enemy digimon. I was especially excited to see Anomalocarimon cuz it's been a minute and there was a lot of attention to detail with his bit.

Siesamon's design was really pretty, but I don't like his resting angry face. I wish they would have made his face more emotive because it kind of diminished some emotional moments...

There was one scene where it showed some buildings blowing up (because of the virus) and one of them suspiciously looked like a power plant...hopefully I'm wrong cuz oof...

Loved Mephismon's design, but with Gulfmon they did that thing that they did with VenomVamdemon where he has a second face by his crotch area...don't like that (although he is a centaur, so not technically his crotch)

There were some legit scary moments in this! The car crash scene was pretty violent and Minami screaming as she ran from the lasers also felt pretty intense for a kid's movie. (I haven't peeked at the dub yet, wondering if anything was cut)

I thought the final battle was weak as heck. Phase 1 took like 2 seconds and then phase 2 just felt kinda arbitrary like we were going through the motions. We did get a new attack though (trinity something or other). It felt kind of weird for them to just show that without any acknowledgement, but oh well. I'm sure it'll come back at some point. I was a little disappointed tbh because I thought they were doing some sort of 3-way jogress fusion

The shot with 3D MegaloGrowmon and 2D Rapidmon and Taomon was a glorious 2000s moment

IDK why but it gave me Power Rangers vibes

Yeah so this felt pretty disposable, they tried to kind of tie things to Digimon Adventure with Omegamon and Apocalymon, but the connection was pretty vague and forced. I rather Tamers just be separate without the callbacks

While I'm a big fan of short runtimes, I do wonder if this one could have benefitted from being a little longer, just to let things breath more

[aviculor]

All the hope lines can be divided into "Sleipmon" and "AncientMegatheriummon". For the sake of freshness though, I only used each once. Twice if you count Sleipmon X.

I don't think I need to explain why I gave Patamon/Pegasmon Indaramon and Sleipmon. Horse. You'll find most of these follow that kind of logic, the problem was when I didn't have that option. I also considered making the ultimate Goddramon as a nod to Adventure 2020, that's a good alternative.

Tailmon/Goatmon get Mephismon because it's a goat and then AncientMegatheriummon because a musk ok is a big goat and its horns and hooves match Goatmon's the closest. I could have done Gulfmon for the ultimate too.

V-mon was the hardest because what the fuck is up with Sagittarimon? It looks like a perfect-level jogress of Fladramon and Lighdramon. I've run into armor digimon that were tough to work with, but at least they still made sense to use as adult stages. Its lore comes with a baked-in line of Centalmon->Sagittarimon->Sleipmon that I can't use because it places Sagittarimon as the perfect. Sleipmon X has its bow drawn in the art, and I threw in Assaultmon just because it's another centaur whose lower half has nondescript claw feet and it shoots projectiles. I'm not a fan of this one, it was an impossible challenge and I'd like to see what KarnEX thinks up for it.

Hawkmon/Moosemon is a fun one because we have very rapidly run out of artiodactyl digimon. I'm lucky we were recently given another deer in the form of Cernumon, but there's nothing good to bridge them together. As weird as it is to use WereGarurumon as the perfect, Moosemon is white and blue with striped patterns and "feathers" sticking out of its back like the Garurumon family. If you don't like it, the best alternative I have is Mammon as another icy megafauna.

Armadimon/Sheepmon become Pajiramon and Belphemon, this one was easy. Sheepmon and Pajiramon both have sleep/dream powers, and our perpetually-asleep demon lord of sloth has ram horns.

Wormmon/Bullmon becoming Vajramon is another no-brainer, but where do we go from here without any more cow digimon? Well, Olegmon has horns, armor, and dual-wields bladed weapons. I don't love it, but options are slim when we keep getting railroaded.

An Argument With My Shampoo Bottles

"PalWorld is better than Pokémon because pew pew guns lololol"

Digimon already has "Pokémon with guns."

"Hurr yeah but in Palworld you feed them to each other."

Yeah, you do that in Digimon Cyber Sleuth as well. You power up your Digimon by breaking up the code of other Digimon and feeding it to them, essentially butchering them.

"Well, in PalW-"

Speaking of Cyber Sleuth, one of the core factors in the plot is that people upload their minds to the internet. You meet this one guy who can't log out and it turns out it's because, while he was zoned out online, people broke into his house and took his body so they could butcher it and sell his organs on the blackmarket. You've basically been speaking to his ghost, his disembodied mind as a lingering quirk of the internet, and it slowly disintegrates as he dies wondering where he is and what happened to him.

"Yeah but-"

In the sequel, a bullied schoolkid hacks the system to make the bullies jump off a building.

"Palwor-"

Of course, Cyber Sleuth is just one iteration of the Digimon world. There's the V-Pets, various anime series with their own canons, manga, multiple self-contained games... All of them have their own Digital World and way of handling the concept of Digimon.

"Well nobo-"

But while all these Digital Worlds are self-contained, they're connected by the lowest level of Hell, of course.

"Wha-"

See, if a good Digimon dies, it gets reincarnated as an egg.

"Well PalWorld has real dea-"

But only if it's strong enough. If, like, a baby Digimon dies it's just dead forever. You see that happen in the second or third Tri movie, Ogremon just slaughters a bunch of babies for no reason and they're just straight-up dead. Anyway I digress. While good Digimon get reincarnated, bad Digimon are banished to the Dark Area, which is the Digimon Hell. They're tortured forever by even worse Digimon who straight-up choose to be there because they enjoy it. Y'know, like the Demon Lord Digimon. Demon Lords like Lucemon, Belphemon, Leviamon... Because they're so evil, if they die, they won't be reincarnated as eggs but will instead become the flesh and blood of Demon King.

But they're small beans compared to the Digimon that live in the lowest level of Digimon Hell, known as Cocytus. See, Cocytus is so low in Hell that it connects to all of the Hells of every Digital World. You literally can't get more damned than being in Cocytus, and that's where Gulfmon makes its home quite comfortably.

"I- but-"

Of course, there's no point in having demons without angels and gods. You've got the guardians of the cardinal directions, various Holy and angelic Digimon, the guardians of the Iliad known as the Olympus XII, the Archangels, and of course God himself: Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil is beyond a Digimon, it's an entity unto itself, although it does more-or-less think like a computer. This doesn't stop it from occasionally going to war with humanity and coldly slaughtering both Digimon and humans who stand in its way... It's the ultimate, distanced, self-righteous and logic-driven god entity and as much of a complete bastard as you'd expect.

"Well Pal-"

But I think the main thing Digimon has going for it as a rival to Pokémon is that they didn't feel the need to rip any assets from Pokémon Sword and Shield. Their designs are original and don't come from shitty generative AIs, and the people behind them had a real passion for what they were doing instead of just trying to milk money out of people they have no respect for.

Now, on to Yo-Kai Watch...

Mephistomon BT17-068 and Gulfmon BT17-070 by GOSSAN from BT-17 Booster Secret Crisis

[sonicasura]

So I was reading up on some of Bayonetta enemies entries and quite a few of the demons ones caught my eye. A few state that the common demons will try and trick there summoner wether it be to take there soul for power or just to bring them pain and misery.

Now I imagine when Paradiso tried to go after the Tamer/Sleuth, it alerted Inferno demons, that there was a new potential power and that there gonna try and get it from the Tamer/Sleuth.

It's a good thing the Tamer/Sleuth has digimon partners to help them

( and 2 Umbra witches, along with both the Madama's and all the other demon summons they have, Baal, Phantasmaraneae, and all the others.... you know mabye this wasn't as good of an idea as the demons thought.....)

Those Inferno Demons have much more to worry than just them. Sleuth/Tamer doesn't take someone establishing fake or toxic bonds for the purpose of harm very well and have a more...sadistic preference to handle the problem. They carry a very unique charm given to them by a Demon Digimon.

Inferno Demons won't be aware this item that Tamer/Sleuth offers to seal the deal is a trap. Those who fall for the Pendant of Evil tend to find themselves in the Dark Area for a simple purpose. Becoming a snack to the place's inhabitants.

Those of the Gulfmon line find these foolish demons to be quite tasty. A simple trap that benefits from magical mistaken identity. Both Madamas were definitely amused to hear what had occur.

Tamer/Sleuth may be kind but don't try to take advantage of that as their revenge is usually vicious.
