I talked before about fish Pokemon and that was great, but it's not the only mon series I like. So fuck it, fish Digimon time. This will definitely be less analytical and more me gushing about Digimon I like because I may be a bit out of it right now. Also sorry if I missed any.

Starting at rookie/child level we only have one fish but why would we need more when we have Swimmon?

Loot at it, it's amazing! It's some some sort of tropical fish, obviously, but with some embellishments, like the beak full of teeth. I love how colorful and pointy it is. It works great as a rookie for so many aquatic lines. I think some great lines for it would be Swimmon -> Coelamon -> Piranimon -> MetalPiranhimon or Swimmon -> Tobiumon -> DIvemon -> Surfimon. Speaking of which...

I'm going over champion/adult Digimon together and starting with Coelamon.

It's a coelacanth! Coelacanths are amazing as some of the last lobe-finned fish. In this case, the lobes have been exaggerated into proper limbs, like how lobe-finned fish are the ancestors of tetrapods through intermediate limbed fish stages like tiktaalik. Its armor might also be based on placoderms, extinct fish with bony armor.

We have surprisingly few shark Digimon, but one we do have is Tobiumon, and it's amazing.

A shark with arms that can fly with its fins is such a Digimon concept that all it needs are some guns to be peak Digimon. It even has a remora missile launcher on its chest!

The armor Digimon give us several fish, and while I don't think any of them particularly work as armor evolutions, they're fine as Digimon on their own. And before anyone mentions it, Tylomon is a tylosaurus, not a fish. The first is Manbomon, and while it's a terrible armor evolution for Patamon, A mola mola wearing boxing gloves is such a goofy concept I can't help but love it.

Next is Seahomon, which is pretty obviously a seahorse, but its snout is a trumpet and it has a cape that turns into wings I guess? I dunno, it's a pretty weird one.

My favorite of the three is Mantaraymon. Despite the name, it doesn't have a manta ray's face, instead having a rostrum like a shovelnose ray or even maybe a dolphin. I do like how they used Patamon's ears as the cephalic fins.

Mantaraymon also has a more mechanical X-antibody variant that gives it kind of a stealth fighter vibe. I kind of like it more than the original Mantaraymon, which is saying something since I usually don't like X-antibody Digimon.

Moving onto the ultimate/perfect level we have a new mon from China, Huankunmon.

I love this design so much. Its based on the peng, a mythical creature that can turn from a bird to a fish. Fittingly, Huankunmon's line goes from a bird (Xiquemon) and goes to a bird/fish/dragon hybrid (Xiangpengmon). It'a also based on a flying fish since it can fly with a swimming motion. And it can turn invisible. There's nothing not to love about it.

Next is Piranimon, and look at this absolute beast

Some might call it overdesigned, but I absolutely love it. I particularly dig the tail being a fish hook covered in barbed wire. Its based on a red-bellied piranha, but the pop-culture version where they're bloodthirsty monsters that attack everything they see. Real piranhas are not like that. The helmet it wears may also be based on placoderms, some of which only had the bone armor on the front of their bodies.

Finally at this level, we have Divemon.

I'm not as big of a fan of this as I am of the other two, but I do like the Polynesian-style tattoos it has. Its a combination hammerhead shark and professional swimmer.

Maxing out at the mega/ultimate level we have MetalPiranimon.

While I appreciate any fish megas, I think this is a step down from Piranhimon. It's just a red-bellied piranha with a big metal head dragging around a counterweight. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying that Piranhimon is better. Fun fact, Metalpiranhimon came first. Piranhimon was designed because someone thought it was weird that there's a MetalPiranhimon but no regular Piranhimon. There are a few examples of that in Digimon, like SkullBaluchimon coming before Baluchimon.

Next is Regalecusmon, which might be stretching the definition of fish a bit, but it does have an oarfish for a head.

I really like this design, especially it using Zudomon's horn as a sword and what looks like Ebidramon's claw as a shield. I think it would make a great villain for an aquatic episode or storyline of a show. Maybe like a more modern version of MetalSeadramon from Adventure.

Finally, we have Surfimon.

It's a mechanical shark man riding a rocket-powered hammerhead shark surfboard with a buzzsaw on the front. We have reached peak Digimon, people. And even better, it was created by a fan as part of a contest. Frankly, it's a shame that it hasn't gotten any appearances in the anime or games. I don't get why some fan-made Digimon can go onto have major appearances like Dobermon, Cyberdramon, and SoundBirdmon while others get ignored. A lot of them don't even have art. I'd be pretty bummed if I was a kid who won a contest to have my design become official and then it was never used. I think Surfimon should get an anime appearance and the English dub should make it talk like a Californian surfer dude.

It's been a long while seeing Submarimon. But I unaware that their a opposite MarineAngemon. That digimon call "Cthyllamon."

[darkwingsnark]

Got my nephew a vital hero digivice, since I already had one. He loved it, asked to go for walks and battle each other to raise our digimon. Last night he forgot to take off the vital hero before taking a shower, and it broke. I woke up to my mother calling me asking the cost for a new one. They had tried everything they could to revive it by soaking it in rice, but the digivice was donezo. So my nephew demanded they have a funeral for the watch, and they buried his digimon in the backyard. He then went and cried himself to sleep, distraught over the ordeal.

Guys, I sympathize... but this being one of the first things I heard upon waking is so funny to me. I laughed so hard. Just the mental image of making a coffin for the watch, and my nephew wearing a mourning veil did me in.

But yeah, we're getting him a new one so no worries. Kind of sweet they treated everything so seriously.

RIP to Divemon, you were a funky lil' dude

I had no recollection of KarnEX doing evolutions for the reliability armors and that's because I already covered every digimental he did so far. So we're in uncharted territory now and I'll have to compare notes when he does release more videos in the series.

Armadimon/Submarimon evolves into Gusokumon and Aegisdramon. I was saving Aegisdramon for this specifically. I don't *love* Gusokumon here, but there's no perfect level aquatic vehicle digimon I can think of and it's an armored thing that fires torpedoes. It also canonically evolves from Submarimon and Ankylomon, and it's got big claws and a shell like Armadimon. They're even in the same pose there.

V-mon/Depthmon evolves into Divemon and Surfimon. I knew I wanted Surfimon for this because it's got the Main Character vibe and it's blue with a white mouth. I originally had Hangyomon as the perfect level which does mesh with Depthmon being deep sea diving themed, but Divemon has the same vibe I mentioned as it's a Pulsemon evo and therefore is a protagonist partner. Plus, it has a similar silhouette as Depthmon when its legs are turned into a tail.

Hawkmon/Orcamon evolves into Whamon and Plesiomon. I'm not as sure about this one, there aren't exactly too many options for cetaceans. Marine animals in general get a little tight when you exclude fish, squid people, and the Seadramon family. At least Plesiomon has flippers.

Patamon/Mantaraymon evolves into MarinDevimon and Neptunemon. I knew I wanted this to end on Neptunemon because it's the water god and Patamon tends to turn into religious beings. I struggled with the perfect level until I threw darts at the board and remembered manta rays are also called devilfish. Putting MarinDevimon next to Mantaraymon, I also realized Mantaraymon's tail ends in a spade like MarinDevimon's tentacles. And then I realized it matched how I had already made Tylomon evolve into Calamaramon.

Tailmon/Tylomon evolves into Calamaramon and AncientMermaidmon. It had to evolve into AncientMermaimon to match Neptunemon, I knew this right off the bat. But what to put between them as the perfect? I originally defaulted to Mermaimon, but...well, honestly, I forgot why I changed it to Calamaramon, but it worked out when I was struggling with Patamon and noticed I had squid people as both of their perfect levels.

Wormmon/Archelomon evolves into Anomalocarimon X-Antibody and JumboGamemon. Much like before, I already had the ultimate in mind: JumboGamemon, a turtle. There are no perfect level turtles, the closest being JumboGamemon's canon pre-evo Shawujinmon which is a kappa. I thought about Zudomon as it's wearing Archelomon's shell, but I settled on Anomalocarimon X-Antibody because it has a similar color palette to the rest of the line and it's got blades and spikes sticking out of it like Archelomon. It's definitely an idea with merit.

Cthylla is one of Lovecraft’s Great Old Ones, the progeny of Cthulhu himself and if the divemon were working for Cthyllamon... Is this a f*cking Adventure 02 reference?!

I mean I know Submarimon appeared in this episode but that alone doesn’t mean much.

why is he sleeping like this

[international-digidestined]

I’ve been taking care of a new Digimon on my Vital Bracelet... Meet Divemon! Divemon may look scary, but i promise you he’s cool, calm, and collected! We’ll be getting to Mega SOON.

I’ve been having the most fun on the Vital Bracelet!

(Also pls ignore my scratched screen protector on my VB 😅)

[chimera-gui]

And Bandai finally remembers that these two exist, hopefully the last Mega of Impulse City will be added to the DRB soon.

[gomamontrash]

Went to my local tournament last night and the game store has its own bulk of cards given by players who don't want them. Picked up these two for just 20p!

Headcanons for Divemon X Reader? To clarify I’m talking about the Sharkman who’s name is similar to Divermon.

Divemon x Reader

For as ferocious as he seems and looks, he's actually quite gentle! With an attitude that's easy-going but competitive yet fair when it comes to swimming races, he's easy to get along with. And you two probably hit it off right away!

He loves it when you watch him swim. Especially if he's doing it in a competitive way. He can't help but to try to go even faster against whoever he's facing off against since you're watching him. It fuels him up and renews his vigor if he wasn't feeling it before!

Divemon does invite you to swim with him quite often, as just having a nice little date night deal. He loves late night swims, and so tries to persuade you to join him with a wide toothy smile on his face. You can either swim beside him, or hop onto his back and hold on as he speeds around with you! He'll respect if you don't want to and just want to sit on the shore. He'll join you after about ten minutes, wanting to join your side to talk

His skin is cool in feeling, so he likes to snuggle up with you since you're warm and he loves it. His body is smooth, the only parts being more rough are the upper parts of his arms, and some of his back and top of his head. Trailing your hands along his more smooth parts just makes him grin wide when he's snuggled up with you

If you're a swimmer like he is, he likes to help you train for swimming and the like. As someone who admires and seeks beautiful swimming like himself, he can't help but to want you to be the best you can be! He always gives his big toothy grin when you manage to do even better than your last pass in a pool

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for the prompt for today, so I made a Mega evolution for the new Divemon.

Prompt is by @indominusart

[amethyst-geek]

When I first saw Divemon, I thought to myself, “oh this would be a perfect pre-evolution of Neptunemon.”
