They forgot adding Yuujin Mk. II to the poster. Plus, Watson has same crooked legs as Himekawa

And Satellamon "Naindana", how do you transalate those verbal tic?

I'd be disappointed if upon his defeat he didn't lament "time for this wanderer, to satelle on up..."

Awww... That's minor annoying. And sad. I said we probably could have a second season.

Interesting article about Leviathan's concept background in Appli Monsters: http://aroomwithamap.tumblr.com/post/166608719984/digimon-universe-appli-monsters-and-the

So it seems that its name and lore is also deliberated like in the other characters, as we could expect.

Well, that DOES explain why they went with a conflicting mythology (Christian instead of Greek/Roman) for the name, despite the fact that Leviathan's realized form actually resembles a HYDRA (hey look Greek/Roman mythology!) and is born from MINERVA (Greek/Roman)... not to mention most of the God Grades are named after Greek/Roman gods too (Ouranos/Sky, Poseidon/Sea, Gaia/Land).

Still, giant dragon swallowing gods whole does fit well with the biblical Leviathan mythology.

Yeah, if I understood right the main point of the article, it goes like this:
*Mythology and representation: Christianity.
*Background and concept: Thomas Hobbes.
