Digimon Profile ended about half a year ago or so with Agumon Hakase and Terriermon Joshu traveling off into the Digital World to learn more.
They aren't back yet, but a new series begins with Digimon Journal.
These new articles are to show off the charm and history of Digimon. It begins today, and will show up on every 2nd and 4th Wednesday.
The first 3 have gone up with the header of 'Digimon Highlights', which each feature 3 Digimon.
Each Digimon gets:
Various art displayed at a decent resolution (not amazing, but decent), including some art never before seen clean or at good resolutions before.
A text profile, giving information on appearances and the character.
A list of Main Appearances
Showing off a card from the Card Game featuring them.
A link to their reference book entry.
At the end of the Journal, each Digimon gets a high resolution zoom in of some of their art, framed for use as an avatar whether square or circle.
The translations for these at a glance are decent, not quite as choppy as some of Digimon Profile was, although there are mixes of terminology.
For our coverage of these, we'll paste in text information as is, with some cleanup, along with the various art.

Digimon Journal 1- Digimon Highlights: Alphamon Dorugoramon, and Gammamon
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Alphamon
Alphamon appeared as a Holy Knight Digimon affiliated with the Royal Knights, an organization created to protect the order of the Digital World. This fabled Digimon rarely makes an appearance, existing instead as a deterrent to Holy Knight Digimon.
Alphamon first appeared in the animated movie Digital Monster X-Evolution, released in Japan in 2005. It also plays a role in the game Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, and is often depicted as an impressive key figure in a variety of media.
In the aforementioned X-Evolution, as well as the Digimon Chronicle manga booklets that came packaged with Digimon Pendulum X, the main character Dorumon Evolved time and time again to oppose Yggdrasill, the computer in charge of the Digital World. In the final battle against Death-X-mon, it faced this sinister foe wielding the Ultimate Ouryuken, the weaponized form of the Digimon known as Ouryumon.
On its card, Alphamon is depicted wielding the Holy Sword Gradalpha.

Dorugoramon
The protagonist Kota Doumoto’s partner Digimon Dorumon first Evolved into this Ultimate form in the Digimon Chronicle manga booklets bundled with Digimon Pendulum X.
Said to have bested the famous Royal Knight Omegamon in combat, this alone suggested just how powerful Dorugoramon had become. Even so, Dorugoramon would lose to Omegamon when it chose X-Evolution to obtain an X-Antibody form.
On the verge of death, Dorugoramon’s body split into the Child level Dorumon and Death-X (death data personified). Dorumon would then go on to reach Alphamon level.
As for the Death-X... It transformed into Death-X-mon, a vile computer virus that consumed the DigiCores of others, and threatened the very integrity of the Digital World.
As such, Dorugoramon is not only the Ultimate Evolution of the story’s protagonist, but also the catalyst that gave birth to its final boss, making this a complicated digital entity indeed.
This Digimon boasts a fair share of popularity due to its edgy appearance, and its status as one of the few to best the strongest character of the Digimon series, Omegamon.
So, too, were this pair known for their appearances on starter pack packages for the OG card game, “Dorugoramon Terror Deck” and “Omegamon Purge Deck”.
Main Appearances
Digimon Chronicle
Digimon Pendulum X 1.0

Gammamon
It appeared in the TV anime Digimon Ghost Game as the partner Digimon of protagonist Hiro Amanokawa. Gammamon appears much more childish than previous Digimon leads, and one can imagine that a fair share of viewers must have been amused by its innocent yet mischievous behavior.
This special creature boasts a complex Evolution tree at Child level, a rare feat for leading anime Digimon. Digimon developing with their partners is but a part of the charm of Digimon tales, and the gradual growth of Gammamon’s spirit is no exception, depicted in striking fashion on the small screen.

And as mentioned, since it's day 1, they put up more than 1...

Digimon Journal 2- Digimon Highlights: Beelzebumon, BelleStarmon, and Clockmon
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Beelzebumon
An Ultimate Digimon counting itself among the most powerful Demon Lord Digimon, the Seven Great Demon Lords. Beelzebumon first appeared in the third season of the TV anime series, Digimon Tamers. Impmon gained the power to Evolve after making a contract with Zhuqiaomon.
Beelzebumon would end up killing Leomon, partner Digimon to series heroine Juri Katou. This would cause protagonist Takato Matsuki to fly into a rage. This fiend would act as the catalyst for Guilmon’s Dark Evolution into Megidramon, but the villain would come to see the error of his ways after a defeat at the hands of Dukemon.
Having de-Evolved back to Impmon, it would Evolve into Beelzebumon once again of its own volition, and choose to join the cause of Takato and friends. One might say this road to redemption from villain to ally was the impetus for Beelzebumon’s skyrocketing popularity.
It would get a redesign in Digimon Xros Wars, the TV anime broadcast in Japan in 2010.
Not only that, but it would end up on the package art for the LCD game Digimon Accel Ultimate Genome Hell Blue.
Main Appearances
Digimon Tamers
Digimon Accel Ultimate Genome Hell Blue

BelleStarmon
One of the Digimon collectively referred to as The Three Musketeers, alongside MagnaKidmon and Gundramon. BelleStarmon’s origin and history are both unique, as it started as a Beelzebumon variant posted to designer Kenji Watanabe’s Twitter before its official adoption into Digimon canon.
Its first actual product appearance was in the Digimon Collectible Card Game: Digimon 15th Anniversary Box. This character’s popularity has taken firm root despite a lack of in-universe appearances in anime or games.
The Digimon Card Game that launched in 2020 featured BelleStarmon’s first appearance in a secret slot of the sixth booster pack, Double Diamond. Its card acts as a powerful linchpin for purple decks using Option cards. Keep an eye on this character, who you can expect to see making waves outside of the card game moving forward.
Incidentally, BelleStarmon is actually on bad terms with its precursor Beelzebumon.

ClockmonAn Adult Digimon ruling over time and space. The incredible power Clockmon brings to bear at Adult level, as well as the idiosyncrasies of such power, leads to this Digimon’s frequent use in stories.
It first appeared in the PlayStation title Digimon World as the game’s clock icon, then again in Digimon Pendulum 5 Metal Empire as a trainable character. It also makes memorable appearances in TV anime on occasion, watching over the sealed Megadramon in Digimon Tamers, and summoning the other-dimensional heroes in Digimon Fusion: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time.
Clockmon even shows up in the very first episode of Digimon Ghost Game! Known as the “Sewn-Lip Man,” it causes a series of bizarre incidents by stealing time from people. It ends up defeated by protagonist Hiro Amanokawa, after which it tries (and fails) to take its revenge on the hero.
Clockmon faced deletion after being attacked with its own technique, but was saved by Hiro and turned over a new leaf. It then ended up joining Hiro and friends in their efforts to resolve a variety of incidents.

Digimon Journal 3- Digimon Highlights: WarGreymon, Shoutmon x4, & Ginryumon
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
WarGreymon
A Greymon-type Dragon Man Digimon, and the first Ultimate-level of the Greymon family to appear. In the TV anime Digimon Adventure, protagonist Taichi Yagami’s partner Digimon Agumon was able to Warp Evolve into this form. Since then, WarGreymon has maintained its status as the beloved face of all Ultimate Digimon.
As their name implies, the giant Dramon Killer claw weapons on its arms deal massive damage to Dramon-species Digimon. Fans of the aforementioned Digimon Adventure fondly remember the thrilling scenes of WarGreymon defeating MetalSeadramon and Mugendramon, two members of the evil Ultimate Digimon group known as the Dark Masters.
It was designed with gimmicks in mind for the Super Evolution Series toy line themed around Super Evolution transformations. Even Volcano Ota, Bandai’s Digimon lead at the time, got involved in the design process.
Main Appearances
Digimon Adventure series
Digimon Pendulum 5.0/5.5 Metal Empire
Digimon Pendulum ZERO Virus Busters
Digital Monster Ver. 20th

Shoutmon x4
This Digimon first appeared in Digimon Xros Wars, the TV anime broadcast in Japan in 2010. The trio of Shoutmon, Ballistamon and Dorulumon first DigiXros into Shoutmon x3, before subsequently DigiXrosing with Starmon and Pickmon to reach this form. This elite Digimon supported the Xros Heart, an army led by protagonist Taiku Kudou, during the early days of the group.
Shoutmon x4 boasts a plethora of signature and special moves, with six total recorded in the Digimon Reference Book(as opposed to the two to four normally mastered by Digimon).
This form has many variations: the Knight Mode, Shoutmon x4K is a DigiXros with Knightmon and multiple PawnChessmon; the Divine Horse Modem Shoutmon x4B is a DigiXros with Beelzebumon; and the Weapons Fighter Mode, Shoutmon x4S is a DigiXros with Spadamon.
At present, Shoutmon x4 is registered to the Field Guide at Adult level, but its Shoutmon x4K and Shoutmon x4B forms raises that level to Perfect.

Ginryumon
An Adult Digimon with the X-Antibody who first appeared in Digimon Pendulum X 2.0. In the Digimon Chronicle manga booklets bundled with these virtual pets, protagonist Yuji Musha’s partner Digimon Ryudamon Evolved into this form.
Ryudamon even makes an appearance in the more recent TV anime Digimon Ghost Game! Having Evolved into Gyukimon, it had to rely on Hiro and friends to return to its original form.
It then succeeded in Evolving into Ginryumon, and we hope viewers are looking forward to seeing what it does next!

It's nice to get the slightly more detailed profiles that aren't 1:1 to the reference book, being a bit more based on the character themselves and how they are used.
Getting a good number of art clean and better resolution for the first time is definitely a huge plus.
It's nice to see the overall breadth of the franchise being looked at as these are put together, with a wide range of characters being chosen just for day 1.
It will also be interesting to see what pops up outside of 'Digimon Highlights' and profiles...
Bit sad Agumon Hakase and Terriermon Joshu aren't back though...
Plenty more to come for these...
The final Digimon Profile, the predecessor to Journal, can be found here. It includes an index of all Profiles.
