#tuwarmon?

[chimera-gui]

So SkullKnightmon had a Black Purple card before this but we finally get DeadlyAxemon and DarkKnightmon. This also mean every major Digimon in the Twilight faction has a Black Purple card:

And to preemptively correct any misunderstanding, Mervamon isn't considered a member Twilight despite being recognized as Nene's secondary partner due to her debut occurring after Twilight as a faction split and was effectively dissolved and absorbed into Xros Heart and the Bagra Empire

Well if Galacticmon/Rangamon doesn’t show up in Ghost Game, I guess there’s always Digimon Seekers, I’d just rather anime than web novel... Although if it’s a “web novel” in the same way as Chronicle X, I guess it’ll make for an easy read at least.

Also oddly curious that it seems that Dameon’s line is spiler-tagged in the VB Lab/Arena app’s(?) data right now. We already know Tuwarmon exists. Does it not evolve into Tuwarmon?

[shihalyfie]

@kitoddwrite replied to your post “So...Jyou, Demon, Dolphin, Grani, Neemon, and...”:

Wait, what's this about Kurata's voice actor?

​All of the following characters (and more!) are voiced by the same voice actor, Kikuchi Masami: Jou (Adventure/02), Dolphin and Grani (Tamers), Neemon and the narrator (Frontier), Kurata (Savers), Tuwarmon/Damemon (Xros Wars), Neemon (Adventure:), and Ryudamon (Ghost Game). Basically, he’s known for having a “perfect attendance rate” for Digimon in terms of TV series (he wasn’t in Appmon, but for the sake of claiming his streak is unbroken it’s usually reasoned that Appmon was a sort of special branch that was deliberately trying to break away from existing Digimon conventions at the time).

Considering how lovely most of those characters are, Kurata is often treated as the most unexpected/impressive role out of all of these. It really is incredible to think about the fact that the same guy who did everyone’s favorite Jou-senpai and Neemon and such also did an amazing job voicing one of the franchise’s biggest scumbags (and being very good at making you hate him more, too). Even those familiar with his non-Digimon roles are often surprised at how well he pulled off a role like that, since it’s not his usual.

[magpiejay1234]

Episode 59.

The sitcom plot of this episode is Airu trying to steal Cutemon.

Damemon returns, and reveals it can only evolve to Tuwarmon now with Yuu. This is an obvious retcon, but we will ignore this.

****

Astamon is Belphemon's canonical pre-Evolution, and has no connection to Psychemon. This will be justified with the ultimate twist involving it, especially since this Astamon is incorrectly coloured.

Opossummon is the Armor Evolution of Tailmon through Digimental of Kindness. Like most Armor Evolutions except Kenkimon it has no canonical evolution. Despite what this episode might imply, it is not a Puppet-Type, but rather a Beast-Type.

Cho-Hakkaimon is one of the Journey to the West Digimon introduced for Hunters. Much like many Xros Wars era Digimon, it is both a joke Digimon, as well as a fetish Digimon, as the one-piece school swimsuit is a popular fetish in Japan (it has many fanservice cards from Collectors).

It has no connection to Opossumon whatsoever. It is here to promote Digimon Collectors, and serve as fanservice, as well as comic relief.

Like most of the other Journey to the West Digimon of this era, it has no real canonical line, though it can evolve to Shakamon (though its default pre-Evolution is Sanzomon). In Digital Monster X, it evolves to various random Digimon, so it has no real lines there either, and largely exists for Xros Wars showcase alongside Damemon (which can also evolve into it).

Though Damemon, and Tuwarmon species need Tyutyumon to pilot them as a reference to Scumon-Chumon, since Tyutyumon was eaten, it will not return. So this version will remain pilotless. Tuwarmon, like Arresterdramon, is actually Adult-analogue, though Xros Wars proper presented them as Perfect-analogue.

In Digital Monster X V-Pet, Tuwarmon is not a Level, but a temporary form Damemon assumes during attacking. Outside of this, it hasn't appeared in anything beyond Xros Wars era.

Damemon itself is also canonically an Adult analogue, since again, Tuwarmon is not an evolution, but rather a form. However, since Hunters treats it as an Evolution, one can argue Tuwarmon is Perfect analogue here.

Irregularities like these will be part of the reason why Adventure reboot will hire Atsuhiro Tomioka to do strict planning.

[shoutmonishere]

Im just gonna jokingly say that this is foreshadowing when Tsuwarmon/Damemon eventually be our friends

[nearendoh]

🎶🎵Shining Dreamer🎵🎶

Damemon is actually pretty unique. While he takes place of a champion, in true Xros Wars fashion, doesn't actually have a level.

And the fact he turns into Tuwarmon to attack? Genius.

[alitteraltrashcan7352]

Ey so why couldn’t of “dame dame” been kind of like damemon’s momentai

[chimera-gui]

So unsurprisingly, Yuu got a Black card like his big sister and his partner gets new cards to go with it.

Fun fact: Damemon and Tuwarmon go from being members of the Bagra Army and Twilight, represented by ChuuChuumon and Damemon’s previous cards being mono Purple and Tuwarmon’s being Purple/Black (see my earlier post on BT-11 for the significance of their card colors), to being members of Xros Heart alongside Yuu.

Dawn and Dusk

Series: Xros wars/Hunters

Written as part of @digiweek. Day 4, prompt: dark/light

Set shortly after the hunters go to Hong Kong.

Wordcount 2966- a bit heftier than the rest of what I've been posting

Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts.

Yuu did not bring many friends home to the Amano penthouse, but whenever he did the reaction was the same: pure, unabashed jealousy.

His parents were obscenely rich, he was wise enough to recognize it was more than just well off. His home was a middle school student's dream: indoor hot tubs, rooms one could reasonably play basketball in, and no parental supervision. Now, out on the balcony, he could look down and see trees the size of Legos, and a view that stretched out to the ocean. Most kids his age could not help but be envious. To Yuu however, only one feature stood out prominently.

Just how empty it was.

That void grew greater in its sheer size. Ceilings twenty feet high only served to underline just how little there was left to fill the silence. The distance between himself and those he could see on the ground, more metaphor than physical.

His recent trip to Hong Kong had only made this emptiness grow. He loved his sister, and while he’d thought himself used to her absence, it now rushed back to him in full force. They had spent years together in this home, and no matter how many corners it had, each and every one of them hid a precious memory between the pair.

His parents were away; his parents had always been away. Working, logging thirty hours every day to ensure that both he and his children’s children would be able to maintain this life of luxury with no effort on their own part.

So devoted were his parents that the very idea of indulging in such opulence like creature comforts or family were beyond them.

It had taken years for Yuu to associate the concept of ‘father’ with the man who bore the title. And in turn, possessed by Harpymon as he was, his father had not recognized him at all. Next to the protective love for his daughter, the son apparently did not matter at all.

Of all things, Yuu had been mistaken for a prospective suitor, which was certainly not something he wanted to unpack.

And that had been the first time he’d seen his father or his sister in months. Only once before in the year since returning from the digital world had he seen them together. He didn’t hate Nene, he couldn’t hate Nene, but even still, having her leave him like this…. Resentment wasn’t the right word. Bitterness was closer but didn’t quite fit. Envy was the most accurate of the bunch.

Yes, he was envious of Nene, for being able to go out there alone and fulfill her dream, while leaving him behind staring into memories of the past.

“You’re just like Nene.” He’d been told many times, from those who thought it a compliment. They were wrong, he’d initially believed they were wrong on both counts.

Yuu was smart, he knew it, even if he tried to be modest. Concepts just fit together to him in ways as naturally as walking. He even struggled to tutor others. The very idea of not understanding something was one of the few things he himself struggled to understand.

Nene was also intelligent, but it was far from natural. Whatever she did, she threw all her effort behind. With her being the eldest and thus the designated heir, failure was not an option, and she took advantage of every resource necessary to outcompete and outlast the others.

There was only one word he could think of to describe Nene at her most focused: Ruthless. There was no doubt about the success of the Amano corporation under her leadership, she would crush everyone she needed to crush and think little of the consequences. Even in her current profession: becoming an idol was merely a test of how far she could push herself, and Yuu sympathized with any who made the error of underestimating her.

But then, Yuu sympathized with everyone. That had been the other difference he’d believed existed between the siblings. From the lowliest ant to the grandest emperor to the most heinous criminals, he couldn’t stand to harm any of them.

Even the girl who would break the rules to try to steal his friends and swore to turn him into her prisoner, he just couldn’t bring himself to do any lasting harm to. He simply told himself if he was kind enough, if he showed how outmatched she was then Airu would eventually come around, or at least get the help she needed.

His parents had learned his bountiful generosity early. They only sent gifts these days, any allowance would immediately and indiscriminately be forwarded to various charities. He had never seen the problem with it; there were millions who needed money more than him.

He had, in childlike fantasy, seen that as the main distinction between himself and his sister. She had been named for dusk, and he for dawn. She had thrived in cut-throat competition, he had blossomed in a world without scarcity. She was the harbinger of darkness and despair, and he would be the one to lead others to the light.

And yet, he had, with these hands, “So easily…”

And she, in all her ruthless determination, had halted him, saved him.

Even if he didn’t deserve to be saved, maybe it had been out of her own selfishness. Why was his life worth any more than those he’d ended, those he’d tortured? Simply because she knew him and had an emotional attachment? But even that was a blemish on her, sticking her neck out for the likes of him. And he’d done it so easily before, with so little prompting. Who was to say he couldn’t do it again? “Wouldn’t it have been better if I wasn’t saved at all?”

He discovered a surprising bonus to just how long the drop off the balcony was.

“No good, No good.” A voice called out from his pocket. “Thoughts like that are no good at all.”

He stilled his breathing and took a step back. Damemon was right of course. There would be no penance found in death. He couldn’t die now, with the hunt on and needing to help with the digiquartz; his death would be only one more burden he was imparting on those around him.

But he needed to be careful. Damemon was no longer the only Digimon in his Xros loader. He had hunted Superstarmon. That was the point of the hunt, to capture all the Digimon, lost in the Digiquartz.

But the simple idea made his stomach turn. Digimon were living beings, with hopes and dreams, they didn’t deserve to be hunted for sport any more than Taiki or Nene did.

He didn’t feel bad about hunting Superstarmon, the Digimon had himself been hunting Taiki. What worried him, what scared him, was how much he had enjoyed the act of hunting. Of manipulating Tagiru and Ryouma into a situation where he could steal all the glory. Of joint-crossing with Taiki, something that he had been the only one of the original Xros Heart generals to never actually do. Of sneaking Tuwarmon in at the end to steal the capture out from the other hunters.

If he found himself enjoying fighting a bit too much, if he found himself taking joy in the pure act of hunting like Tagiru did, or sacrificing morals for his goals like Airu did? Could he? Would he go back to those times? If he would, shouldn’t he do anything it took to prevent it from happening again? Even if….

He shook his head. If nothing else this last year had proven just how wrong he had been; being compared to Nene was a compliment he didn’t deserve.

His empathy prevented him from truly stopping deranged criminals before they hurt more people. His aptitude was a gift born of biology and circumstance, not an accomplishment to be paraded around.

Even now, he was paralyzed by his own darkness, wallowing in it. While she was on stage, inspiring thousands, becoming the light that kept them moving.

Damemon popped out of his Xros loader. “You need to talk these things through, you can’t just keep it all bottled up.” His partner said.

Talk to whom? This was one subject that he couldn’t even breach with Damemon. ‘Sorry I’m so terrible you had to fight for evil and die’ was even more destined for disaster than his current train wreck of thoughts. “It’s no worse than normal.” He said.

“This is normal?” Damemon asked, seeing through him in an instant. “You need a better normal.”

“It’s just.” He exhaled. “I don’t know.”

And he didn’t. This wasn’t the answer on some test, and he was too wise to search his own knowledge of psychology for an answer. There weren’t any therapists that he could confess to without being either dismissed or thrown in the looney bin. “I got spirited away to another world and became a villain.” is the plot of some anime, not real life.

Tagiru wouldn’t understand. Taiki...might, he was at least physically present and could understand the magnitude of it all. And Taiki was the one who had originally broken through his wishful thinking. But Taiki also tended to attempt to shoulder all burdens by himself, even if there was nothing he could do. There was no reason for Taiki to exhaust himself just for Yuu’s sake.

And somehow, he was too embarrassed to share this weakness with his leader.

“I’m telling you it’s no good.”

It took a few seconds for Yuu to realize his partner wasn’t talking to him and had instead taken advantage of his introspection to swipe his phone.

“Hey.” He objected, reaching down to reclaim it. “You can’t just go calling people.”

“Yuu, are you okay?” His sister’s voice called from the other end of the phone “I’m heading over.” She declared.

“No. I mean, yes. I mean, you don’t have to, you can’t-” The line was already dead, he didn’t know how many of his feeble protestations she heard.

The average flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo took over four hours. How Nene left her apartment, procured one, and arrived at his door in less than 2 he didn’t bother to ask. It would have at least required breaking the sound barrier.

But then, barriers had never stopped her before.

“What’s up.” She asked simply

He did his best to muster a scowl. “You didn’t have to come all the way out here; I can take care of myself.”

As was his custom, Damemon destroyed whatever farce Yuu presented. “It’s no good, Yuu’s been having no good thoughts.”

“No good thoughts.” She said quietly, looking between them. “Yuu, you have to understand that wasn’t your fault.”

He quaked but did not respond, her hand reached out to rest on his fist as she repeated herself. “It was not your fault.”

“But it was.” he drew back, “It was my fault. If it hadn’t been for me, then hundreds, thousands, who even knows how many! They all wouldn’t have had to suffer! None of them would have had to die!” he threw his arm out, knocking over some cabinet, a priceless vase colliding to the floor.

Nene seemed unfazed by his outburst, “Bugramon was the one who chose the path of war. You had nothing to do with that, he chose to make them suffer, not you.”

“I chose! I saw them suffering, I saw their pain and I ignored it. No, it’s worse: I enjoyed it! I felt like a god, being able to choose who won and who lost. Using some as pawns to die and keeping others alive for my win.” His voice dropped. “Bugramon didn’t do that. I was the one who did it.”

“That wasn’t your fault either. Darknightmon tricked you. Even I -”

“-Because of me!” he shouted “He used me to enslave, he used me to manipulate you. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had to stain your perfect hands. -”

“-Perfect?”

“- God I’m such a screwup. You’re the heir, you’re the eldest. Literally no expectations on me except ‘don’t mess things up’ and I turn both of us into mass murders.”

He felt her arms wrap around him, pulling him close. He couldn’t find the strength to break free, so he stayed there, staining her shirt with his tears.

“I am not perfect.” She said “You are not a screwup. And neither of us are mass murders.”

“We, we.” He couldn’t bear to say it. “It doesn’t matter if they came back. I still…” he unleashed another bought of sobs.

“No good, that thinking is no good.” Damemon insisted. “Death is different to us Digimon. It is unpleasant yes, and best to be avoided. But it’s not like humans do. Digimon never completely die.”

“We are not mass murders.” Nene insisted. “That doesn’t make what either of us did okay, but neither of us are truly murders.”

He wasn’t sure he agreed. His fingers curled into fists. “Even if Digimon come back, humans wouldn’t, right? Taiki had to trick the rose to be set free, you couldn’t just kill him and revive him. And he, I almost.” he couldn’t even bear to say it. “…It was so close.”

Yuu felt a bile burn in his throat, remembering just how little effort more he would have needed to snuff a life out completely. “You too Nene. If Minervamon hadn’t hidden in your Xros loader. In that case I would have, and you would have….”

“But you didn’t,” she said, “and you didn’t intend to. There’s no point worrying about what could have happened if it didn’t happen and you never intended for it to happen. I know you would never want to hurt me.”

He shook his head. It was easy enough to say no harm done, but his nightmares disagreed. Whether or not he was intending to kill her, he was certainly intending on putting a blade through her heart. And he almost did.

She took advantage of his silence to score one more point. “And I am far from perfect. I’m not like you, I stumble more than anyone. Grandma did use to say, it took me a year to learn how to walk, you did it on your first try.”

What did that matter? It wasn’t the first attempt anyone remembered, it was the last one.

“But you always stand back up, and right now, I, I don't.” he swallowed. Everything came to him as easily as walking, and yet, “I don’t always know if I should?”

His sister didn’t respond at first. Perhaps even she was caught off guard by his confession. But then, stumping Nene was a feat he dare not have the audacity to claim.

She held him, bringing them to the ground. One hand rubbed his back, up and down, up and down. “You know, if something were to happen to you, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”

“You would survive.” He muttered, “You always seem to.”

“In name, maybe, but I wouldn’t enjoy any of it. I can’t see life without you.”

He continued to sniffle. God, he was so pathetic, crying here like a baby. “I’m not worth it-”

“You are!” she insisted. “You are worth it all. If anything, your biggest issue is you don’t know your worth; you’re too selfless, you value everything else above yourself.”

“I-I-I” she pulled him into her shirt more fully, muffling his resistance.

“One of these days I’ll teach you to be selfish like me. Until then, we’ll have to weaponize that selflessness of yours.” She pulled him away and stared him dead in the eye. “I want you to promise me, whenever you feel like you can’t keep going, whenever it feels like too much, you’ll find a way to pull through. For me.”

He took a few deep breaths. “That’s awful selfish of you.”

“I said I’d teach you to be selfish like me. You’re learning from the best.” She said “Promise.”

“I could never break a promise with you.”

They stared at each other for a few more seconds.

She took a deep breath. “I told you I stumble more than anyone. I’ve faced failure after failure. Going to Hong Kong, Father cut me off. I had no money, no connections, I had to start from zero. I thought there was no way I could keep going more times than I could count.

“And when those times come, I think of you. I think about how you’d stop everything, just to give a funeral to a butterfly. I think about how you’d always try to help everyone, even when too young or too small to be of any real use. You are my light, the thing that keeps me going even when immersed in darkness.”

Her hands were now on the side of his face, forcing him to look at her. “Now promise. Promise me that wasn’t all in vain. Promise me that I won’t lose my reason for continuing to push myself. Promise me you’ll keep going, if only for my sake. That’s all it has to be for now.”

Yuu took a deep breath, body shaking as the request percolated through him.

“I promise.”

She smiled, and pulled him close again, suffocating him in her embrace. “And now your first lesson in selfishness: Just let it all out. Don’t worry about me or Damemon or anyone else.”

That night Yuu released a year’s worth of tears.

Note: one etymology for Yuu is twilight, which doesn’t have to mean dawn, but it kind of fits here.

Digimon Xros Wars: Hunters Ep5 Liveblog

Yuu is still wishing he could meet back up with Damemon. But, Airu (and the other rival hunters) steal the spotlight!

so this episode is all about Airu? and we get to learn a little bit more about the rival team, too, like the fact that they count on Airu to set traps for Digimon

lmao she only hunts cute Digimon, and along comes Cutemon…

oh that's good i was worried she was going to ignore Opossumon

everytime i point something like that out, a character points out the same exact thing…

I'm a little worried about how Airu's gonna be written since the last series wasn't exactly the best when it came to writing its girls but so far she's not that bad. i always like characters who sit around and talk about cute things but then turn around and do stuff like building complex machinery, it's a good juxtaposition.

ah. so that's cutemon's game.

ok I had been wondering what exactly Yuu's living situation was. the place he and the others currently live in doesn't look like the hometown he made an illusion out of with Taomon, so I was wondering if maybe he moved or something. his living situation is: everybody else is abroad so he lives alone.

Nene is an idol now???

ah, he went to the same place/a similar place to where he met Damemon…

finally the rival team gets some names. silver-haired leader boy is Ryouma and gnc-af boy is Ren.

they're all just having a grand ol' time battling right in the middle of a public park

everybody gets to evolve today! ChoHakkaimon is. pretty silly looking, to say the least. it's a stretch to even call this a "monster"... (which also seems to be the case with the rest of the rival team's evolutions)

so it was the exact same place Yuu and Damemon met!

Damemon???

DAMEMON!!!!

i like how they wave away the fact that Tuwarmon is an evolution now.

now everyone has their partners!

Episode 26.

Taiki takes in the Disk Zone refugees to the Shinobi Zone.

Pieces of Blastmon reform into a double.

While Lunamon's evolutions are female, this Lunamon uses boku pronouns, so it is supposed to be male.

Blastmon loses to Shoutmon X5B, but restores itself as a head. However, most of its Code Crown pieces are obtained by Xros Heart, giving them a big advantage.

Tuwarmon continues its work for Dark Knightmon, destroying the Bagra Army from the inside.

****

Crystals of any form can regenerate into different clusters, which is why, for example, table salts form large chunks over time.

There will be more reveals with Damemon-Tuwarmon, so those will be discussed later.
