Digimon Channel: Pics and Translation Thread

I know that, but it's hexeblaumon <333333

 

[AppliFang]

Bloom lordmon looks like it would be an awesome mega for Pomumon ^^

Trying to decide what the other cool viney guy would match....vegiemon? haha

 

[RyummaSama]

I just was thinking that Ajatarmon has a few Veggiemon components, mainly the feathery/leafy head-dress and the vines. I know it probably won't happen but I'd like Ajatarmon and BloomLordmon to be a part of Floramon's evo line in Survive.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

I think Ajatarmon is too much badass for be part of Vegiemon. But that headband freaking got spikes and everything on its body got spikes! Dat crystal gatchlet! Beautiful design!

Anybody think BlumLordmon is designed to die like Leomon meme?

Wanna know why? Open up that art and zoom in on its head. Look.

It freaking got "Mother hairstyle OF DEATH"!!

 

[Bancho]

I'm just gonna pretend that Parasaurmon evolved into Ajatarmon and that the skull is leftover data
Otherwise I would have to assume that Ajatarmon hunt Parasaurmon and then form the arm shield out of the collected and leftover data from its killings

I don't want to derail the thread too much but for the prior conversation about Digimon remains, an interesting thing I've token note of is that in both the 2020 Adventure: anime and recent art for the Metal Empire Pendulum Z v-pet we see Digimon scrapyards from presumably dead mechanical Digimon. I've been questioning ever since the Metal Empire Pendulum Z why so many mechanical digimon don't fragment into data

Digimon eat/destroy other Digimon; There are predators and competitive battlers aplenty. A bit like nature itself. I don't understand why this is so 'shocking' to some, the Anime showed this as well. Even Pokémon's Pokédex has predator/prey descriptions.

I was just being optimistic as I like Parasaurmon and don't want to see my boy be hunted down lol. Survival of the fittest being a Digimon theme isn't something I can miss or deny with how central that theme is from the anime to the reference book profiles. Pokemon fans missing that theme is way more understandable with how kid friendly and utopian it tries to be so that comparison isn't very balanced

After Theigno's post, I didn't realize how it got translated so FAST.

Oh damn having a petal cape could serve as the weapon! How could be that cool?! Instant like!

Ajatarmon's Parasaurmon skull shield blade had me thinking Titamon's human-like skulls and Piranimon's T-rex skull will be finally revealed eventually in the future? Nah but seriously it will complicate so hard.

BlumLordmon is equal to Royal Knight? Sweet. But oddly specifically Royal Knight only? Not mentioning Three Archangels or SGDL or even Olympus Twelve? Unlike BanchoLeomon's profile he boldly viewed them as "evil" to dare to get in his way.

Oh well whatever... I'm surprised it sounded like BlumLordmon isn't Jogress?

Saying Royal Knight instantly makes it a big deal because everyone knows who they are and like theyre Digimon God's minions.

My guess is that mechanical Digimon are just made up of components that don't break down too easily (much like scrap metal in real life). I remember in one chapter of V-Tamer, we actually saw a rotting Agumon corpse, and it was stated afterwards that the data of Digimon in that area break down slowly, implying that data-decomposition is very similar to matter-decomposition (albeit much faster). I'm guessing this applies more so if machine Digimon don't die in battle (where data-rending blows can be quite common).

Yeah, but when Digimon predate on other Digimon, it isn't too hard to picture them just taking the prey's data into their body. In fact, we actually saw this multiple times in Tamers (though ingestion through the mouth and other means isn't hard to picture either). It's when actual remains are present that things start to get a bit wierd. I guess it can usually just be brushed off with evolution, with all members of a particular Digimon species usually looking the same. But then the lore gives us bizarre chicken-and-egg scenarios, like Garurumon pelts being worn by its own pre-evolution.

 

[JungleTrooper]

Wow this pattern is too obvious so DoKunemon and ModokiBetamon will be next for sure. 100%.

Maybe Olympus Twelve are held back too long because maybe they have plans for it for future games? But c'mon my patience is starting to get dried lol

Seeing how last week's update consisted of the 2 upcoming Dim-card Digimon, these are the options for this wednesday or friday:

- Nothing. Has happened before, but a bit unlikely as there's a Profile update in a few hours and we would still have a chance on friday (or thursday, depending on timezone).
- The old Digimon you mentioned: Latest updates were Perfect- and Adult-level, respectively. So a Child-level update? Other old Digimon could be chosen as well, so maybe 4-5 entries if we're very lucky again.
- Existing Digimon tied to a theme of the upcoming Profile-update. We've been given entries when the Profile-update talked about transportation-Digimon or Knights, for example. We could get an article on artificial Digimon (Arkadimon) or groups like the Olympus XII.
- The 5 Digimon made through the contest last year, of which the last one just got revealed this week.
- Something else entirely.

All in all curious what will happen.

There's way too many "altered" Digimon where the "original forms" should still be "in circulation": Cyclomon, Guardromon, Dokugumon, Jijimon, Bagramon, ChoHakkaimon, Deltamon, Gargomon . . . If Metal Greymon and Dark Tyranomon’s existence doesn’t retcon Greymon and Tyranomon out of existence it shouldn’t have for the other a Digimon whose lore said they were altered.

Welp. Nothing happened.

This is the first month this year with less than 3 Reference Book updates. Some useless but fun statistics:

January: 3 updates.
February: 4 updates.
March: 4 updates.
April: 7 updates (crazy month, but they were small ones).
May: 4 updates.
June: 4 updates.
July: 2 updates.

The amount of entries is still high, though (74 entries). That's an average of 2,47 Digimon a week. At this pace, around 128 could be added in total at the end of this year. So, let's hope the average doesn't drop!

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

So then, it's random updates. Less? I think they probably will update more in return actually? Maybe.

Yeah, there's a good chance the next update will once again cover 5-7 Digimon in one go, like the last few times when there was a gap of around 2 weeks.

Or we'll get one or a few 'special Digimon', like the 5 currently-unreleased fan-created ones from the contest. Or Digimon from upcoming V-bracelet Dim-cards, like the mysterious silhouette. Which will most likely get revealed a few days in advance of Vol. 3's release on the 14th of august. We don't know what Digifes might introduce, either (if anything at all). The point is; These kind of Digimon usually get a standalone reveal, or in a small batch of 2-3 at a time.

So, it's all a big 'if' at this moment, there are simply multiple options and we're not really accustomed to big gaps between the updates this year. That makes it hard to predict, really. I wouldn't risk betting on an update somewhere next week, either.


EDIT: Again nothing this wednesday, more luck on friday.

EDIT 2: And nothing this friday, either. This might mean the first 3-week gap this year, as chances are we'll get something next week along with the Profile-update on wednesday. The Dim-card release of Hermit in the Jungle / New Metal Empire will also be next weekend. Let's hope it's something sizable to compensate for the lack of entries the last couple of weeks.

@Sparrow Hawk I had some hopes of Bandai including most if not all of the 'legacy' Digimon by the end of this year, but that seems increasingly unlikely if big gaps like this will happen more often. The upcoming Anime will probably introduce quite a few new species, so less space for the legacy ones. I'm curious what next week will bring us.

 

[MarcFBR]

Reference book update!

From Hermit in the Jungle it's Hydramon!

 

[Bancho]

holy crud. Reading Hydramon's profile, that digimon is super scary. Sometimes a mega digimon's profile has me saying, "yeah, that's a mega level digimon" by the end of reading it and this is definitely one of those times. Imagining one of these forming in the wild and having to take care of it or watch something so immensely destructive spread is something I can easily envision and I can also see myself really dreading if I would make it out of that encounter as I'd have an expectation that my partner and I would have serious injuries

 

[Chimera-gui]

A lot of people remarked that Hydramon feels like the kaiju Biollante and the profile definitely gives it that feel of being an unstoppable force of destruction that kaiju are meant to be.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Hydramon's profile really reminded me of Grankuwagamon's profile. Swamps growing abnormally? Be cautious. Diving deeply into the forest? Curse yourself as you encounter GranKuwagamon.

That reminds me there is a certain trading card game who always have texts telling you in same manners. I don't remember which was it.

 

[Amandil7]

Gotta say, I love Hydramon's design!
