Random but I’ve been playing the digimon card game alot, and was thinking of my other favorite card game yugioh. So wonder what the main protagonist of the yugioh series and or its characters and what you think their digimon partners would be and all the digivolution lines. And even if you gave them their own original partners from your artists
Honestly, my problem with most of the Canon adventure/tri lines for the sovereign aren't actually with the champions or ultimates: it's with the sovereign themselves. Look at violet elecmon to tuskmon to triceramon: it has cohesion and a throughline of large green dinosaur with face spikes, and then changes to a blue, less bulky feeling, non-spiked dragon. Same with bearmon's line. It has a cohesion with the first three, but not the last. Honestly, if they wanted to keep LoaderLeomon, they should have used Liollmon to Liamon to LoaderLeomon to Baihumon instead.
Very true!
Honestly, considering the fact that they evolved thanks to Homeostasis, it feels cohesive that the evolutions wouldn't match that well, since they were "forced" into it by a godly power.
@@insecure8926Yeah, what I assumed happened is that this is an unnatural evolution for the original partners. They were given power to combat a great threat and ended up gaining a new form.
Not entirely the same, but akin to Shamanmon in Frontier evolving into BurningGreymon because he accidentally came in contact with the Beast Spirit.
I personally feel like the sovereigns weren’t there intended megas. They just became that due to homeostatis. Which makes me wonder what there TRUE megas would be.
@@jacobgalloway1392 I think LoaderLeomon to HeavyLeomon would be a good default digivolution for a partner digimon and have Baihumon be a special digivolution.
With Patamon and Fanglongmon, since Fanglongmon is usually treated as a sort of "Higher" Mega (it's a fusion of 4 megas sometimes and it's put next to Omnimon in one game) you could instead have Patamon's mega be Mitamamon (which is already Sovereign adjacent), which then forms the base for the Fusion of the Sovereigns into Fanglongmon, and also adds a more cohesive transition from Indaramon to Fanglongmon.
Fun idea, I like it!
A particular evolution for Azulongmon I like that I don’t see talked about enough is Patamon > Pegasusmon > Chirinmon > Azulongmon
I think it works as a nice transition
Something that I always had as a nice theory is, that the 01 kids`digimon will fuse into the sovereigns.
Wargreymon and Phoenixmon into Zuquiaomon to have the bird and fire themes.
Vikemon/Plesiomon and metalgarurumon fuse to Baihumon. They have their Ice and wolf themes.
Rosemon and HKabuterimon become ebonwumon, since they have their nature image, and the kabuterimon shell becoming a turtle shell.
Lastly Seraphimon and holydramon becoming azulongmon. Both have the holy aspects and holydramon also adds the dragon elements.
The final all out fusion could then be fanglongmon instead of mercy mode. It really works well and all those pairings are also close on a human level.
Bro, brain twins! I left such a similar comment.
Since the Devas are based on the Chinese Zodiac, and the Chinese Zodiac has cultural variants among the Asiatic nations. So, does that mean there are backup/alternate Devas that have yet to make an appearance? It could be fun to see Karn taking those cultural variants and turning them into Devas in a future video.
It would have been epic that the beasts of Tamer's world were biomerge evolutions but they were so powerful that the children who were previously their tamers were completely absorbed by these digimons.
I always liked Tailmon/Gatomon -> Lynxmon -> Mihiramon -> Baihumon.
It just feels like a coherent and logical transition: Feline from beginning to end, just increasing the scale until reaching the "cardinal beast" status.
I personally like the idea of the Sovereigns being DNA-digivolutions of the Devas. For example, Baihumon could be a fusion of Caturamon and Mihiramon, while Ebonwumon could be a fusion of Sandiramon and Vikaralamon
If I could throw in an idea. Veemon to Azulongmon, Hawkmon to Zhuqiaomon, Armadillomon to Baihumon, and Wormmon to Ebonwomon. and finally Patamon and Gatomon becoming Seraphimon and Magnadramon and they merge into Fanglongmon. (Or since Seraphimon and Magnadramon are OG megas, the Armor megas could be inverted with Goldramon and Ophanimon.)
Ooh that's really fun, I like it!
I find quite interesting how a lot of "Big Group Digimon" megas feel more like side-special evolutions that got an alternate mega either at the same time or later. The Royal Knights with curated lines have a lot of those.
As someone who actually liked Tri fine enough it STILL bothers me that they used Bearmon as an actual Partner Digimon and still half assed his evolution. I just don't know why they just refuse to make a decent Ultimate and Mega for the poor guy. He is one that works really well as a Partner Digimon so PLEASE can we give him a proper line already?
Maybe an idea for a custom Art Video? Digimon that don't have proper full lines and always have to deal with a random digimon being slottet into their line?
Your choice for the Gatomon line just fits so well!
I’ve always liked the idea of Supadamon as a rookie stage for Baihumon. I just really like Supadamon and I wish they used it more. I know it’s a white lion, but I think it’s close enough.
I'm late to this but I'm glad you covered the sovereigns again they always feel out of place yet not idk what it is but I love when you cover them
Given that each Holy Beast was responsible for two crests each, I always kinda felt like they should be fusion digimon. Especially since they're so ancient, and official 02 lore is how difficult digivolution used to be at all. Qinglongmon/Azulongmon makes the perfect fusion of Holydramon and Seraphimon, for instance. Given that Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon are removed from the board, though, I'm not sure who the others should be. If we disregard canon fusion partners, Phoenixmon+Wargreymon=Zhuqiaomon would work so well, at least visually! The other adventure megas don't line up *quite* as nice, though. Xuanwumon would have to be Rosemon+Herculeskabuterimon, which isn't awful, but I can see Rosemon herself not being so thrilled about it! Metalgarurumon+Vikemon=Baihumon is the only pairing left, and makes at least as much Digimon logic as the canon line, I guess, so, eh?
100% agree that sovereigns should evolve from devas. Really cool lore idea
Thank you!
Veemon to Raidramon to Thunderbirdmon to Azulongmon looks so great! And that really makes me think that they had this in mind and just went another direction with the series but decided to reuse Thunderbirdmon has another armor evolution.
Anothwr theory that was discussed previously was the "double" armor digivolution. And maybe the double armor would digivolve further into a sovereign.
Lat thought, imagine having a dark sovereign for Wormmon. A 6th sovereign would be cool.
Great thoughts! A sixth sovereign could be really interesting!
Dark sovereign makes me wonder if the dark fanglongmon from xros wars and digimon survive might be a repurposed scapped 02 idea for a plot like that. 02 had a lot of last minute changes, rewrites and shelfed ideas like that. Some even think the devas were originally intended to be a second set of more powerful armor evolutions to use instead of jogress/dna too. Jogress/dna digivolution wasnt the original plan for 02 so who knows what else changed during the early writing process.
About the another sovereign that you mentioned in passing with wormon I think could maybe still be possible while still following the mythology since the sovereigns are based on the 4 Chinese symbols and in the middle its either huanglong which is what they have in canon but another beast that is depicted in the center is the qilin. Now I know there’s already chirinmon based on the qilin but this one maybe could use the k sound instead of the ch(ik kirin is Japanese for giraffe but the etymology is still qilin)
Since I really love the survive cast I will always love the Sovereign line from this game.
Another great video
The four sovereigns are my absolute favourite digimon by far, I kind of like the idea of them not having any previous evolutions. They are just the girlbosses they are.
It would be fun if they evolved in reverse. Their data existed at the highest level FIRST, and that's the reason it took so long for them to return after the darkness defeated them. They didn't HAVE prevos until then.
Cool video dude
This makes so much sense, I always thought Hawkmon was perfect for Zhuqiaomon
Yes. YES. So many yes in this video. I really like all these ideas, and the fact that Maki's Tapirmon would have become Fanglongmon was stuck in my head for so long. Megadramon could have gotten enough energy from the four Sovereigns when they attacked and "sacrificed" Megadramon, imbuing it with their power.
As for an Adventure line with Fanglongmon, I really like what you did with my Patamon (not only because he's my favorite Digimon), but since I like the idea of Fanglongmon being a superior level than Mega, we could go for Patamon > Pegasumon > Indramon > Goldramon > Fanglongmon. Not only would it tie with the golden of Pegasumon and Fanglongmon, it would also bring the dragon elements that would end up forming Fanglongmon. Not to mention that Goldramon is a part of the Four Great Dragons, in which we can also find Azulongmon, a nice bonus reference (count how many times I said Fanglongmon in this comment)
Hope you enjoy your time in the states! Also something to mention for Gatomon/Tailmon that also works great is the whole dog/cat thing it has as a rookie and your version has canine-likes that work great too!
Having recently given Digimon Survive its chance, I like that the sovereigns you can get on the true route are more or less given to the digimon that has a similar element and has passed a combat test to gain data on this being. Something like an inheritance of the role, where in case of emergency they do not need it to be completely in line with evolution.
Here's my version of Azulongmon's evolution line:
-Rookie: Kotemon
-Champion: Dinohumon
-Ultimate: Majiramon
-Mega: Azulongmon
All members are Data Attribute, and it fits with Digimon's habit of turning lizards/dinosaurs into dragons.
Marathoned the evolution line videos and Karn really really loves using Armor digimon if he can even slightly justify it lol
Ye 😈
On the note of Akatorimon(and by extension Muchomon), Tempomon would be a great 3rd/Ulimate evo imo. Dancing birdman needs more love.
My favorite group of megas LESSGOOOO digifam!
Edit: btw for me runnermon works perfectly for the baihumon line
Yay! We mooooooooooooooove!
I think a group whose digievolution lines would be neat to explore would be the adventure villains, in a what if all of them be from rookie to mega, maybe even looking into baby and in-training forms too.
I think the best Ultimate between Raidramon and Azulongmon would be MegaSeadramon. Serpentine dragon, lightning horn, it all fits.
Horse makes sense. As Kirin often subbed in for the golden dragon in media that dont want 2 similar style dragon.
Honestly at this point I really like Quilinmon as a ultimate for Azulongmon and as a jogress of Pegasusmon and Raidramon. I mean even it's color green is a combination of Pegasusmon yellow and Raidramon blue.
Honestly I thought about the armor to Deva a few years ago because it feels so natural for some reason. And the Deva to Sovereign is natural by default so those lines are just perfect.
I very much like having devas as a part of a 02 sovereigns evo line because of how many devas match up with armor evolutions
4:54 Wind Guardians are mostly bird digimon (though there's some overlap with Nature Spirits for some reason, Vegimon and Hoursmon happens to be in both for example even though that makes no sense), it has nothing to do with elements.
I think one of the reasons the digieggs go so well with the sovereigns is because if I remember correctly the power of the crest came from the sovereigns with each of them over seeing two of them and as such the the D2 digimon were like spiritual successors to the sovereigns by connecting to the digieggs of the crest of one of the sovereigns
Karn! I just saw a video where asianfahzagamer aka Alan was discussing digimon and zoids crossing over and now all I can think of is a liger 0 x berserk fury omnimon.
A lot of good ideas here! I would go like this: Muchomon>Akatorimon>Sinduramon>Zhuqiaomon or Hawkmon>Halsemon/Aquilamon>Hippogriffomon>Zhuqiamon for the birds. Armadillomon>Boarmon>Vikaralamon>Ebonwumon, the wormon to quetzalmon works way better. Armadillomon>Ankylomon>Groundramon/Hisaryumon>Fanglongmon looks good, groundramon has the spiky tail of ankylomon and digging for ore like fanglongmon. As I think of it, groundramon would be a perfect joggress for Ankylomon and Xveemon. Sorry for the big comment, good video Karn!
any snake related digivolutions is great towards ebonwumon as its based on the snake that is always with the black tortoise in that mythology
Just a random What If idea: What if the Spirits represented the various digimon types, like Nature Guardian or Wind Spirit etc
Interesting idea, thanks!
Also do a vid ranking Digimon groups...The sovereigns, Royal Knights, 7 demon lords, Banchos, etc
In another universe where TK was the leader of the 02 group I think these would all be perfect to take down say a mega powered Digimon emperor if they didn't have Ken turn good until the end
Oooh yeah!
try the evolution lines of the Dark Generals or Death Generals from Fusion
-NeoMyotismon
-Dorbickmon
-Splashmon
-Zamielmon
-Olegmon
-Gravimon
-Apollomon
There might be an idea for fanlgongmons line, design wise it looks odd but a bit of lore its understandable. Dracomon, then coredramon (green), then groundramon, and then finally fanglongmon. The reason for this is cause of the lore to coredramon taking the route of a grounded dragon and would eventually evolve into a dragon of the earth or ground because of his time spent underground. Now what does that have to do with fanglongmon??? Well groundramon is a digimon that carries the same kind of ore as fanglongmon the fanglong ore. A digimon fan brought up the possibility that groundramon obtained this material and made it a part of its body through the times of going undergroud, so maybe down one path groundramon found the motherload of fanglong or, used it as its lair and over time the fanglong ore became more of a part of groundramon to the point that it digivolves into fanglongmon.
Hm, these were very interesting, nice ideas.
So, i would really like to see you try to make a Costume Art Kimeramon-Line, I have been wondering how that would look like.
Dracomon just works for Azulongmon for me. I mean they're dragons without being dramons so for me that works better.
Still, love the video. Getting a clear idea of the Sovereign's Evolution Line is nice.
Bearmons line works well incorporating the old saying lions,tigers and bears oh my lol
Can you do a vid ranking each season's strongest Digimon from the team....Omimon, imperialdramon, galletmom, susunomon etc.
Vikaralamon works extra well considering one of the non 02 armors for Armadillomon is Boarmon, a personal favorite pick for a homebrew vikaralamon prevo
id love if you did a video about what the other 3 ancient rookies could've been had they gone that route....... also could wormmon be an ancient digimon that ties in to the digiegg of kindness?
The Digimon Emperor’s influence on Wormmon turns it into Fanglongmon Ruin mode
Their also the sovereigns line in survive even tho they were more a result because fanglongmon was the villain
i absolutely love the 4 holy beast (the Sovereigns). they need to appear more in the media (digimon survive did really well giving them a role). for Baihumon, the Liollmon line works really well since they are holy beast digimon and loaderleomon is its perfect form who is a part of the metal empire.
Completely agree with the 02 theory heres my idea about what happend to wormon he and veemon already have an equivalent to the sovereigns paladin mode then patamon becomes azulongmon due to the holy/dragon aspects from goddramon
I always had the idea that wormmon would become baihumon just because Tk and Kari both have evolution lines from rookie to mega and then were given silphymon and shakoumon so I thought that the other 4 would be the sovereigns and fanglongmon would be an omnimon equivalent.
I definitely like the idea that the 4 Sovereigns, something akin to deities of the ancient Digital World, first came to be as evolutions of ancient Digimon like the 02 partners. That'd exclude Gatomon and Patamon but with Wormmon would make a solid 4, with Veemon and Hawkmon being no-brainers for Qinlongmon and Zhuqiaomon, Wormmon probably being more of a match to the black turtle Ebunwomon rather than Baihumon, with the white tiger still fitting decently well with Armadillomon.
Further taking into account ancient Digital World-lore, I feel it'd be a bit too easy if they came "just" from regular lines, even through Armors and Devas, I'd maybe they could be the result of all of the partners Champion-levels using a Digimental, ExVeemon using Friendship, Aquilamon using Courage, Ankylomon using perhaps Reliability or Hope(?) and lastly Stingmon using Sincerity, Knowledge or Kindness. Obviously that'd be something outside of the bounds of this video, since you were trying to use existing Digimon, but honestly, even without custom art, I think it's fun to think about things like this.
My favorite is the whole Armor Digimon into Devas into Sovereigns, but a personal head-canon I've had is that Ebonwumon is an alternative evolution for Kamemon at Shawjamon level. Like if a Shawjamon devoted its life to good deeds & helping the innocent & needlessly suffering that it acquired so much good karma that it evolved into Ebonwumon. I find this works for me since both Shawjamon & Ebonwumon have strong references to Asian mythologies.
One theory I had, after seeing Bearmon be revealed as the Rookie of Baihumon, was that the other World 3 Partners were also Rookie forms of two other Sovereigns in the Adventure canon.
Kotemon looks like a blue reptile underneath its armor, which connects really well as an Azulongmon pre-evolution. I also find Dinohumon connects better to Triceramon, with both being dinosaurs.
Monmon has a sort of nature vibe, which connects to Ebonwumon being a giant tree turtle. Plus, Hookmon being a pirate gives it a water connection like you mentioned in the video. Orochimon though doesn't really fit, but I don't think it's too big a stretch.
There's sadly no other World 3 partner for Zhuqiaomon, but I think Muchomon works well enough, plus debuted in the original World, which gives at at least some connection to the other three.
For Baihumon instead of Bearmon and Grizzmon. I would use Coronamon and Firamon. Lions to Tigers doesnt seem that weird to me. Altough the Coloration is a bit off.
I really like Floramon-veggiemon-blossomon-xuanwumon from survive wfen if its not a canon evo. Just blossomon to xuanwumon esp , + veggiemon yhemes into mythological xuanwu removing his organs to purify them, just like how veggiemon despite being a "filth" digimon ends up as a pure hearted guardian
i always thought petaldramon should digivolve into ebanwumon
Karn have you considered making digimon vs videos only using lore? I always wondered how hounglongmon would do against the royal knights.
If you use Huanglongmon Ruin Mode you could include Wormmon. Since he was the Digimon emperor's Digimon and has an evil Fladramon, Shadramon who is also a DRAmon not just a butterfly.
as for huanglongmon (fanglongmon for english fans), the dracomon line feels the most ideal because of this. Groundramon (the perfect form or ultimate for dracomon if the adult was the green coredramon) is said to have its scales to be made with a similar material called huanglong ore (something huanglongmon aka fanglongmon is covered with). by achieving enlightment (meaning that groundramon lost all its ferociousness) it evolves and purifies itself to become huanglongmon and only very little achieve this as they failed to find peace and chose the path of destruction becoming breakdramon.
When I rewatched Adventure later and got that one frame of the previous Digidestined, what got in my mind was that it would be really cool if the previous gang had the recolosr of Digimon World. Like SnowAgumon, Psychemon, Tsukaimon, etc (to this day I'm kinda peeved they never did a team of protagonists with them).
Nowadays I think it would have been a better bone to throw to the OGs if their team was made of the overlooked first Tamagotchi.
Betamon to Seadramon to MetalSeadramon to Azulongmon
Gizamon to Archelomon to maybe JumboGamemon to Ebonwumon
Gazimon to Leomon to LoaderLeomon to Baihumon (or something like that, maybe more tiger-like picks)
Elecmon to Birdramon to Garudamon to Zhuqiaomon
While there isn't anyone super great for Fanglongmon, it's funny that Kunemon can go for Airdramon as a champion, so maybe there's something there.
In my opinion every line of evolution is possible
I would like to see the supreme rulers (all six) having a mode change into warriors like frontier having elemental elements in their armors and a powerful weapon
I mean i see a really good evo for fanglongmon and its the duramon line making fanglongmon alternative evoluion to alphamon ones beastly and ones humanoind just like so many others
These can be whatever they want. There's no right or wrong answer here. It makes them more cool.
If you ever do another video giving anime characters partner digimon I'd love to see more one piece characters. I've been getting into the anime lately and have my own thoughts on who each character would partner with so I'd be interested in comparing my thoughts with yours
Unfortunately those videos tend not to do very well anymore, not sure why. But maybe I'll try and do something for OP around when the second live action season comes out
Before the ReArize lines came out, I speculated on what the full Tri lines could be. I couldn't think of anything that made sense between Bakumon and Megadramon aside from maybe Unimon. I also thought Goddramon was what they had in mind for the Ultimate since it does look a lot like Bakumon, but Fanglongmon does make perfect sense. I also thought that Azulongmon would be the "Agumon" of their group, so I thought BlackAgumon to Monochromon to Triceramon was a decent enough guess.
It's hard for me to visualize anything involving Armadillomon since its evolutionary lines are just bad imo. To be honest, I would have redesigned almost everything about it from the ground up. Like, in a series whose gimmick is the digimon donning armor, why do we have a digimon that's already armored? We have to put armor over armor? And Ankylomon doesn't fit visually with any other dinosaur digimon. And Shakkoumon.
Since Tri, my headcanon has put a Gabumon as Azulongmon's rookie form. And who was that Gabumon partnered with? Matt's dad, of course.
I would say Andiramon would be a good evo for Bucchimon because of the rabbit ears.
Nice idea!
Well since pokemon has regional variants then maybe the digimon partners from adventures and 02 should have the same treatment along with their digivolutions and armor digivolutions
You can also use the card game, because in bt9 Maki’s Tapirmon evo into Monochromon and then Megadramon which I’m not opposed to
Im honestly fine with most of the tri evo for the sovereigns if I were to swap anyone I’d swap Dinohumon with Tortamon and Elecmon with Gaossmon
Edit: also forgot to mention your evos are fun
I may be misunderstanding, but when I first saw Vikegreymon it made me think that it was an evolution sparked by the loss of a friend garurumon. Using that data to evolve to the mega level. Keeping its partners' data that wasn't able to reach mega together. Keeping the "friends" theme but in a different way. Idk wdyt?
What really urks me with this is the 02 lore with the four sovereign is that each sovereign hold the power of two crest as mention by azulongmon as it thank the power of the crest of hope and light that he had regain it power. That make me question what other combinations of crest the other 3 hold the power of. Cause of that I always think patamon or tailmon into azulongmon as the two alt mega are magnadramon and Goddramob respectively but who knows.
I'm surprised you didn't take Digimon Survive into account when doing this video since the Sovereigns play a role in the "True ending" storyline.
Survive's a whole other continuity and people are still weird about spoilers, they also kinda exist in solitude in that game, slotting in as bonus Megas for existing Digimon. I wanna talk about Survive specific stuff next year
@@Karn_EX that's fair and completely understandable.
Here's idea, not sure if you have done it already, but how about Evolution Lines of the Olympos 12?
Good idea but yeah I've done it already, check the channel :D
@@Karn_EX Worth a shot.
...Three Musketeers?
Is it true that if a sovereigns beast dies, its 3 devas can merge and evolve into that same beast to take its place?
OH SAINT SANTA KARN! What I would like for KarnEXmas is LeoVoltronmon… Voltron… Leomon… Five Lions, Five colors, Five Pilots… 100s of different leomons/lion type digimons… black could be Bancho👀👀👀🙏🙏
The beard is nice 👁️👄👁️👌
Heh the fire bird have a jet engine on its back. I never seen that.
These lines are all good also I thought Azulongmon’s Evolutions could go Violet Elecmon to Thubderbirdmon to Sinduramon to Azulongmon so they keep the Thunder users.
Always thought devas were armors that evolved. But I still always think azulongmon is DNA digivolution of magnadramon and goldramon
I know it goes against the canon but I like having the rookies for the sovereigns be alt color digimon muchomon to akotorimon to hippogriffmon, yuriagumon to monodramon to triceramon, Violet Elecmon to ice Leo mom to loaderleomon, and midoki Betamon to Tortamon to orochimon….the colors all work and it’s rare alt colors becomes the four powerful god
💙
I think my favorite Ebonwumon is Aruraumon to Weedmon to Blossomon to Ebonwumon, but I do like the line we get for it in Survive (from Floramon). I think ReArise's line for Azulongmon is fine, but I'd go with Betamon for the Rookie instead of Elecmon (Violet). Despite tri., I actually like Tapirmon as a Rookie for Azulongmon much better than Fanglongmon, so maybe I'd prefer something like Tapirmon to Monochromon or Baluchimon to Megadramon to Azulongmon. If we're going with LoaderLeomon for Baihumon's Ultimate, I like the virtual pets' take of Liollmon and Liamon as the Rookie and Champion. Orochimon is easily my favorite Ultimate for Ebonwumon because the Black Tortoise is mythologically a tortoise-serpent hybrid, but I never know what to do with its Rookie and Champion.
I think the fact Digimon ReArise didn't give Fanglongmon an Evolution line or tie it to Maki's partner is a secretly clever move if you look at it from the Japanese concept of the Four Symbols and their connection of the Five Elements.
In China the Five Elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal represented by the Vermillion Bird (Zhuque), the Black Tortoise (Xuanwu), the Yellow Dragon (Huanglong), the Azure Dragon (Qinglong), and the White Tiger (Baihu) respectively.
But in Japan their Five Elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Void, respectively represented by Suzaku, Genbu, Seiryu, and Byakko... but Japan has no actual equivalent for Huanglong due to their fifth element, Void, being nothingness, intending it to be empty and thus having no entity tied to it (though arguments can be made for the Kohryu/Koryu/Oryu being Japan's equivalent for Huanglong due to sharing a lot of characteristics. And would you look at that, Oryumon is a thing), which makes Maki losing her partner while the others became the Sovereigns kind of fitting in a way, purposefully missing the fifth member due to the Void.
I feel like Maki's partner would have been Huanglongmon but it decided to sac itself for the temporary win.
Elecmon is the only one that feels off to me because the rest of the line are all Dinosaurs and Dragons and Elecmon is some kind of Rabbit.
Also going from a bear to a tiger seems weird as well but at least those are all mammals.
What if the Adventure 02 Digidestined Armored digivolved their ultimates?
Tamers and adventure are separate contunities yes but with ryo and also with adventures being a franchise in tamers and the fact it not uncommon for universe/dimension hopping to happen in digimon in general ie the battle with quartzmon in digimon hunters and fact the digimon series in general is a multiverse type series adventure and tamers are connected closely
Very true!
Out of the sovereigns and royal knights , who do you think are more powerful?
Sovereigns overall more magically powerful, Royal Knights are better warriors
As a Zhuqiaomon fan, I also thought Hippogriffomon was jarring, and can't support Garudamon as Zhuqiaomon's true Ultimate/Perfect hard enough!
But...the connection each Sovereign has to their Devas goes over the heads of most Western audiences.
Chinese astro-geomancy (bazi, "8 Pillars") has 5 elements. Each of these 5 elements has a season as well as an animal. (Earth, Fanglongmon's element, is either a 5th Summer-Fall season or a buffer in the Chinese zodiac.) Each of the zodiac signs ALSO has an inherent element along these lines. Also, zodiac signs aren't just years, but also months (and days, and hours, but months matter here).
Going with Zhuqiaomon as an example: Zhuqiaomon is the Fire bird representative of Summer. Its fusion materials in the old card game were Sandiramon (Snake), Indramon (Horse) and Pajiramon (Sheep). They are also all Red in EX5. They represent the Snake (a Fire sign), Horse (the other Fire sign) and Sheep (the Earth buffer). They roughly align with May, June, and July in terms of the Western calendar, and are more distinctly "summer" when you change calendars.
While I like Sinduramon for Zhuqiaomon (especially since "phoenix chicken" is a thing...making it a better Hououmon/Phoenixmon Ultimate, but that's another rant), it misses the alignment by a bit (the Rooster month is roughly September). And if you want to get spicy and combine all the Earth signs into Fanglongmon, a Jogress of Majiramon, Pajiramon, Catsuramon, and Vajramon sounds like fun. :)
Since the connection isn't obvious to the majority of viewers, I thought I'd point it out! Fun vid otherwise; NGL, it's kinda cool that OG Zhuqiaomon's partner (probably) wasn't Sora-adjacent.
