But Ruki always was the rival character in Tamers?

Did her blue coloured Digivice and evolutions and initial edgelord attitude somehow not tip you off?

>>14539560
The fact that she has a vagina threw people off since red and blue always have some homolust going on.

>>14539560
>>14539713
I think it's fair to get a little confused. Tamers did play with the established archetypes, and Jenrya generally filled the rival's position when it came to evolutions.

You want dick? Idiot.

>>14539713
I love her vagina.

>It's been 15 years since Tamers

Christ, I've gotten old.

>>14538534
I wish the Locomon movie was canon. Assuming the Tamers eventually recover their partners, it's an absolutely fine sequel-ish film.

Guys, what's the best Digimon series?

All that Tri hype last year got me interested in the franchise, but I think I'm too old for it to really appeal to me anymore. I got like 18 episodes in of the first and kinda just stopped watching. I don't think I have much patience for MotW shows anymore, and aside from a few epiosdes that's mostly what it was.

Are they all like that or do I just need to get through X number of episodes before it gets better?

>>14540324
It's generally largely agreed that it's a tie between Adventure and Tamers for at least the most consistently enjoyable

>>14540332
That's what I figured. Show just probably isn't for me

>do I just need to get through X number of episodes before it gets better

I'm afraid that is mantra for all Digimon seasons.

>>14540324
Tamers is easily the best one, but it is one of those shows that spends a long time establishing characters and setting before anything really happens.

As far as the one with the most entertainment and hype value, it's a bit of a toss up between Savers and Xros Wars in my opinion

Adventure's okay, but I think a lot of people remember it as better than it really is because nostalgia. For me, it's just kinda middle of the road.

>>14538534
Thank god Bandai fixed it.

Who the fuck is Jen/Henry?

>>14540324
Watch Tamers. Adventure is the original that all the ones built on, but is very much MotW. 02 is a colossal mess of dead ends and sort of requests you to know the plot of the WonderSwan games to actually understand the backstory. Frontier is the Build Fighters Try to Adventure's GBF.

>>14540360
That Chinese kid who enslaved an American Digimon?

Takato didn't dream about him, so he isn't important.

>>14540324
You didn't get to Adventure's best arc but it is still childish.
Adventure 02 is garbage
Tamers is alright but drags later on
Frontier is different from the rest
Savers is full on shonen with a more mature artstyle
Xros Wars is like a super robot show

>>14540360
The best character in the entire franchise.

But of course, wanting nice things is too much to ask.

They are selling a separate bundle with 65 cards too, I guess 40 of which you can card slash with?

>>14540324
It's not about being old, it's about being a casual with ADHD. On surface it might seem like MotW, but there's a lot of character development and world building within each episode. Is it hard to watch something without cliffhangers?

So when are we getting more movie news? It comes out in two months. 8/1 seems like the likely date. I hope they take fan critique to heart.

>>14540380
Sounds like they're all varying degrees of bad which is not true??

>>14541062
If you're attaching a negative connotation to words like shounen and especially words like "super robot show," you need to get the fuck off of this board. Immediately.

>>14541059
DigiFes at the weekend.

>>14541062
They all have problems. Some more than others but I feel all except 02 and Xros Wars Young Hunter are worth watching.

02 takes everything Adventure established and destroyed it. Characters, the world, the lore. Everything. The epilogue still causes rage to this day and people want Tri to "fix" it.

Tamers is really loved but it has flaws too. The later half of the series is much worse than the first half and a lot of people hated the main villain.

Frontier is like a Sentai and has a really bad stretch in the last arc. This stretch ruins the show for a ton of people.

Savers has a more mature artstyle than the rest but goes back to basics with a lot of things. Some people hate the main character's gimmick while others love it. The show starts off really slow but when it picks up it never stops.

Xros Wars is a three part show with various feelings towards each part. Part 3 is usually called the worst thing Digimon has ever animated up there with 02.

>>14540637
Nobody in Frontier jobbed harder than Seraphimon. Nobody.

>>14538534
WHAT WHAT WHAT. Takato is still the fuccboi I remember him to be, damn he's cute.

>>14541149
>The later half of the series is much worse than the first half
No it isn't. I mean, yeah, it has dumb shit like Ryo and ghost girl and her Dobermon, but seeing all the character arcs start to come full circle more than makes up for that.

>>14541167
I liked Ryo. Felt neat to see an expanded universe thing come together, even if it did reference something I had no idea about at the time.

>>14541167
The D-Reaper was boring as shit.

>>14541155
>Takato is still the fuccboi
out

>>14541178
You're making the mistake of calling it a villain. It was not, because that would imply that it was a character, which it wasn't. It was a phenomenon, much like a volcanic eruption or a flash flood. It was a different take from the usual "evil Digimon trying to conquer/destroy everything" plot, and I think it worked out nicely because their attempts to contain it really felt like a team effort rather than the usual one/two man show. I mean, it kind of had to be given the scale of the whole situation.

>>14541203
It was the primary antagonist and it was incredibly boring. It was a snooze fest. The reason people use actual characters as antagonist is because they have...character. They have personalities and motives. They are something you can get attached to in one way or the other. The D-Reaper wasn't anything like that. It was boring. I didn't want to see it get defeated because of how it was built up. I wanted it to get defeated so that it would be off my screen.

>>14541247
You would have a point if Tamers ever tried to make it out as anything more than a giant blob of destruction, but it did not. There were no scenes focusing on the D-Reaper's thoughts or feelings; that wouldn't make any sense. The whole thing was simply a device to put the cast in a dire situation and to show the viewers how they would react to it. All manner of shows do this. Stuff like Dai Guard and Gunbuster wouldn't be lauded as some of the best works that /m/ has to offer if people were actually concerned about whether or not the antagonists of those shows had character

Again, in the context of Tamers, the D-Reaper was a tool in developing the main cast and providing conflict, not anything unto itself. You were supposed to want to see it because you wanted to see Takato and the rest come through, not because you hated it as a person. It wasn't a person, it was just a thing that happened.

>>14540235
Lewd.

>>14541316
The only "character" of the D-Reaper was the extent of the J-Reaper, mainly after it stopped pretending to be Jeri. And even then it was mainly just the D-Reaper's understanding of humanity based on Jeri's despair, and to serve as a personal antagonist for Takato to rip and tear.

>>14540475
>Izumi

>>14538534
How do we fix tamer's second half?

Get rid of Ryo and actually make Kenya and Kazu useful would have been one.

>>14541526
Tack on a saccharine 25 year time skip with clone babies.

Everyone will hate it, but anything that happened before it will look good in comparison.

Does the new Appmon girl have a Blue Digivice? I mean I'm guessing so because her Digimon is blue and her outfit is blue. If so, that would be a plus

>>14543247
>>14543250
Oh shit I've been way out of the loop apparently.

>>14540475
Best at fucking failing. She literally won one fight fairly.

>>14542663
Basically just know that every time something interesting develops, it will get swiftly tossed off the truck in order to allow "WE CANNOT KILL A SINGLE DIGIMON EVEN WHEN THEY'RE FUCKING IN THE HUMAN WORLD BLOWING UP BUILDINGS AND KILLING PEOPLE" to rule the screentime.

>>14543478
But that's late in the game. The earlier parts are the 02 kids fucking up and nearly dying/getting captured while "the old guard" either takes a hands off approach, or offers as little help as possible.

>>14543629
I think they do imply that the old guard is going out with Adult level Digimon, running into the towers, and blowing the fuck out of them at least once, because I seem to remember that being how Greymon got captured.

>>14543478
>Best at fucking failing. She literally won one fight fairly.
I will never forget watching Fairimon's debut episode and seeing it lose to fucking Woodmon.

That was hilariously terrible.

>>14543640
Some of them did. From what I recall, Jou and Mimi didn't due to exams and becoming Murrikan respectively.

>>14543640
Dark towers inhibit regular evolution, which was why Ken built them everywhere and why the old team wasn't much help, so the new guys needed to use the digieggs to get by this restriction. Many of the old guys were also simply busy, but their digimon helped as best they could.

>>14543667
>so the new guys needed to use the digieggs to get by this restriction.
Didn't these get dropped shortly after the Kaiser arc ended?

Sort of reminds me how the card slash disappeared really quickly from Tamers.

>>14543667
Dark Towers were used to amplify the source of the evolution block, Ken's Digivice.
If Ken wasn't around, Adult Digimon could knock them down, which is why we see some do so in a montage.

>>14543682
Kinda. Archnemon was somehow using them to block evolution again, but then decided to make fake Digimon out of them because the writers needed to showcase Jogress.

>>14543682
>Sort of reminds me how the card slash disappeared really quickly from Tamers.
It didn't really though. The children kept using Modify Cards long until the powercreep forced them to use only Blue Cards, and then there were very few battles until Takato figured out Biomerging towards the end.

>>14543247
I can't wait to see the secondary appmon and fusion for the other tamers.
They've already shown fusions that strongly resemble Omegamon and Beelzebumon, so maybe that's a theme for this season.

>>14543247
I hope this is good, the app stuff seems like it could be a horrible gimmick though. I've also got low expectations because of Xros Wars

>>14543682
>Sort of reminds me how the card slash disappeared really quickly from Tamers.

Only around the Perfect era, and it still got SOME use - like the Alias card saving the fuck out of Taomon and Rapidmon and that one card making Cyberdramon fucking break a Deva on its own.

Obviously it's difficult to slash cards to assist your digimon when you're fused with your digimon.

>>14543756
>>14544124
Oh.

Well at least it got some reprieve unlike Digimentals which just went poof.

>>14545124
That's what really upsets me most about 02

The show sucked, yes, but its legacy on the rest of the franchise sucked even more since its main gimmick completely disappeared halfway through. To this day, armor levels remain a vague, in-between state with some Digimon not even being consistent about whether they are armor levels or not. And regardless, none but Magnamon are ever treated as anything but fodder. And worse, because of all the armor level shit, the partners of the 02 kids have half-baked evolution lines that are required to steal from other lines to fill out their own since no one could be assed to think of what XV-mon would evolve into without combining with a bug. This upsets me; I really like the designs of the 02 Digimon.

Of course, we also got Jogress out of 02, but since Xros Wars, that's kinda been obsolete.

Imperialdramon PM is pretty sweet though.

>>14546666
Nah. Swords are cliche and the design looks much better in black and red than it does in white.

Nice devil quads though

http://wikimon.net/Imperialdramon:_Paladin_Mode

Actually, looking at this page shows a remarkable inconsistency in regards to the wings. None of the artists that draw PM can seem to decide whether they should be feathered or sinuous or what colour they should be. PM actually looks kinda decent with purple dragon wings. The white feather wings make it look boring

>>14545178
>we also got Jogress out of 02

Jogress predates 02.

The really annoying thing about Armor levels is that there are some that should theoretically be on the level of Magnamon... and literally none of them have been animated to be as such, if they've been animated at all (to this day I don't think we've gotten any version of V-dramon or Aerov-dramon animated, much less the Golden one.)

>>14546555
Eh... Hurricane Touchdown is kind of fucking piss. I can see Diablomon's Revenge though.

>>14546657
Omegamon was doing fine until he decided to sit in front of the mouth of the enemy who was firing massive energy blasts from his mouth. If he'd stopped shooting after one or two shots and got the fuck out of the way, he might have survived.

>>14546666
I like Imperialdramon base form the best out of the 3.

>>14546693
Well, in regards to V-dramon, I'm more upset about Ulforce V-dramon Future Mode basically not existing outside of V-Tamer, alongside Dominimon, Regulumon, Arkadimon Super Ultimate and Demon Super Ultimate

>>14546710
>Arkadimon Super Ultimate

Or, until recently, any Arkadimon at all.

Also there's other digimon that haven't broken out of V-Tamers, like Parallelmon.

The hate 02 gets to this day will always baffle me. Maybe it's because Im not American and I know the American dub is trash tier for Digimon. Most people seem to complain about the epilogue and their ships not being fulfilled and I undedstand the dub pushed Taichi and Sora, so dub fans were disappointed the original never did it. Given a lot of American names are being used in this thread I suspect that he generally comes from dub watchers. In Japan 02 was well recieved and it was Tamers that people disliked and got poor ratings.

>>14546995
Tamers' dub was shit, though. It completely fucked up a vital scene to the show amongst the usual issues.

>>14546995
>Most people seem to complain about the epilogue and their ships not being fulfilled
I'm completely indifferent to the epilogue. Well, apart from Joe/Mimi/Koushiro not happening but that's never going to happen.

02 is hated because it's a mess.

>>14547000
Tamers dub is considered the best, actually. Mainly because it's stopped doing the stupid shit the first two dubs did. Even professional anime critics like JesuOtaku {often considered theDigimon expert and spokesperson in America} cited it as being superior to the sub.

>>14546995
Besides an unlikable new cast, dropped plot lines, a messy and convoluted second half, an overlong first arc, unneeded Wonderswan tie ins, and laughably bad villains, 02 was A+.

If I take three shits, which one of them was the best really doesn't matter.

>some guy on the internet said it was superior to the original

If I were to say right now that Gundam SEED Destiny was a better show than Turn A Gundam, does it mean anything aside from me lacking in taste?

It is absolutely indisputable that a major character change is prompted by a specific line that was horribly fucked up by Tamers' dub. You cannot deny that.

>>14547046
>If I were to say right now that Gundam SEED Destiny was a better show than Turn A Gundam, does it mean anything aside from me lacking in taste?

My only problem with Appmon is the chibi designs for the App-Gattais. They would look better with normal proportions.

>>14547073
Now those look great.

>>14547027
All three new kids are varying degrees of awful.

Ken's sort of okay though but like most bad guys who go good, he sort of lost some of his interesting aspects when he joined the team.

>>14547027
You're seriously defending the girl who's deepest wish was to be by herself for the rest of her life and eat sweets with absolutely no siblings, especially compared to the others who had actual hopes and desires like wanting family back. Miyako is fucking garbage.

>>14547075
I thought Ken was a better character than anyone in the first Adventure. He was way too good for 02.

>>14547067
Wasn't Divimon the only Digimon they (Angemon) actually killed in the first arc? All the others they just had to destroy the black gear that was controlling them

>>14547075
>You're seriously defending the girl who's deepest wish was to be by herself for the rest of her life and eat sweets with absolutely no siblings
She wanted to be Mimi so badly. But who doesn't? But it's still a horrible thing to wish for.

>>14547099
Yes, but that's still in the first quarter of the show. Not halfway through.

Miyako still has doubts about killing Digimon six episodes from the end of Zero Two. That's just ludicrous.

>>14547075
The worst part of Miyako's "desire" is that she could pretty much do it anytime.

She can take sweets from the family store, lock herself in her bedroom, which she doesn't share with any of her siblings, and gorge herself to death.

>>14547169
>this girl was given the digimentals of love and purity
Well done, guys.

>>14547219
Like we said, the worst parts of Sora and Mimi

That said, I find Iori worse, personally. Being boring is always worse than being handled poorly.

>>14547046
Are you sperging out about the lion heart thing?

>>14547283
Iori is only saved by his backstory, which is more than Miyako got.

I definitely agree with you about him being boring. His design has to be one of the least inventive in the franchise's history for a main character, plus for someone who is supposed to be the combination of two really interesting characters is a complete let down.

In fact, I think it's safe to say Daisuke, Miyako and Iori are the worst aspects of their respective Digimentals' crests' holders combined.

I was a bit surprised that Takeru didn't come out of 02 worse for wear. If anything, him being a bit more independent made him more likable. He was the only character it felt like the show did right other than Ken

True, but I meant it as him having a back story of some sort when Miyako had nothing.

Adventure had more back stories than 02 and it had a larger main cast.

I stopped going to church because Frontier aired on Sunday mornings. I kind of wish I had kept going to church instead. The Royal Knights were cool and I liked some of the Spirit Evolutions (and the English OP) but it didn't have much else going for it. Definitely one of the worst groups of Digidestined in the franchise.

This fucker right here was criminally underutilized

The whole cast was. They were all unbelievably generic, and that's saying something considering we're talking a Digimon show here. The only one that was potentially enjoyable to watch was the fat kid.

Best things to come out of Frontier were With the Will and The Last Element

>>14555742
>They were all unbelievably generic, and that's saying something considering we're talking a Digimon show here.
Same here.

They were incredibly dull. I only found the twins to be interesting and that was mainly due to the story, not the characters themselves.

>>14555774
Well, I want to say part of that is because Frontier involved the real world less than any other show in the franchise, so we didn't see much of the cast doing anything except the usual Digital World exploration.

But on the other hand, Xros Wars didn't have much of the real world either and its cast still turned out much better than Frontier's

>>14555802
The main problem I had with the Frontier cast is that they're only there to fill roles and not be actual characters. There's no sense of them having a unique personality.

>Takuya: gogglehead
>Kouji: lone wolf
>Izumi: girl
>Junpei: nerdy outcast
>Tomoki: baby of the group
>Kouichi: human antagonist

Correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't watched Frontier in about 4 years, but it gets worse after Cherubimon's defeated because by that stage, half of the cast have completed the only development they're going to get and become totally useless.

Why don't we have highly advanced anime sex waifu robots yet?

>>14555948
I don't recall any of them having any development to begin with other than Kouji being the requisite rival character that eventually becomes more friendly

Hell, I don't even remember Cherubimon existing in Frontier. It was such a forgettable show. I think it really proved why partner Digimon exist as a concept. Without anyone to play off of, the human characters did not get near as many chances to show off their personalities.

>>14556042
...now you mention it, I barely remember what their development arcs were.

>Without anyone to play off of, the human characters did not get near as many chances to show off their personalities.
Not helped whatsoever by the absolute irritants of Bokomon and Neamon.

It's a fucking shame Frontier's incredible Digital world was wasted on such a bullshit series.

Every Digimon thread always makes it sound like Adventure and Tamers are the only two worth watching due to all the bitching

>>14556113
Nah. The only ones that are really widely disliked are 02, Frontier and Young Hunters, and the last one doesn't get brought up much anyway

And speaking of what doesn't get brought up much, how is that Digital Monster X Evolution movie? I'm guessing not very good due to crappy CGI

>>14556138
X Evolution suffers from one too many scenes of stationary characters giving long winded exposition.

>>14555742
>This fucker right here was criminally underutilized

He doesn't even have an evolution sequence.

No I'm fucking serious, go check. EVERY SINGLE TIME HE IS FORMED, it's either a Slide Evolution or offscreen. He has no sequence.

>>14556168
That's remarkably shoddy even by Toei stock footage standards.

>>14555742
I forgot about him, I did like that design.

>>14555948
That's about what I remember as well.

>>14556168

Well, yes. Who else was it supposed to be?
Chink was too much of a bro to be a rival.

Those two male friends were too irrelevant to be rivals.
Love interest girl was too dead Leomon to be a rival.
The two kids probably didn't even know that there were other tamers out there till the end of the show.
Ryo definitely wasn't the rival, because the rival doesn't win.

>>14562621
>Ryo definitely wasn't the rival, because the rival doesn't win.

The rival also usually doesn't show up nearly halfway through the show, never interact with the group to any significant degree, have what little interaction he does have with a secondary character rather than the lead, vanish again, get his upgrade completely offscreen, and then basically do nothing for the rest of the show except lose every fight.

Wait, no, that last one is exactly like Vegeta. Maybe Ryo is more of the rival than we thought.

>The second half is garbage.

And so is your taste.

Some Appmon info from the DigiFes, they had character voiced introductions:
>Haru sounds cute and kind, very similar to Takato
>Gatchmon sounds high-spirited, a bit smug
>Eri sounds cool and assertive, similar to Rika
>Dokamon sounds tough, like a delinquent. Calls Eri "Eri-sama"
>Torajiro sounds like a DJ, his voice is very girly
>Musimon sounds super cute
>Rei has a typical ikemen deep voice, sounds much older than he looks
>Hackmon sounds like a cool-loner type character

>>14564882

They were just fooled into thinking it's deep because baby's first "dark" series.

It's standard shonen fare and you can tell the casuals who assumed their dub was the darkest thing ever.

>>14562667
>All those characters and not a lick of character development for any of them.

Kazu and Kenta were just comic relief just not useless (it was because of Kazu that Takato was able to defeat one of the Devas and Kenta saved everyone in the finale) there were more of an ensemble team than the Adventure kids who were mostly worthless barring Taichi, Yamato and Koushiro

>The Digimon were even worse, heck even the MAIN Digimon had no character.
You must be trolling. Impmon is not only one of the best Digimon in the franchise but one of the best characters in it. You had Terriermon who was a sassmouth, Guilmon who was a baby that grew over the course of the series and Renamon who was a no nonsense androgynous furbait who didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. Compared to every digimon up until Xros Wars who's main characteristics were I'M HUNGRY and you have the gall to say they had no character?

>>14564957
So three cool humans and an annoying shit?

Seriously that was above anything in the first arc as much as I loved its slow meandering atmospheric feel shit got real during the DW arc.

>>14565644
I'm not saying there weren't good parts in the later half, just as a whole the first part is a lot better.

>>14565639
Half of Tri's cast feels superfluous. Like just Taichi, Yamato, Koushiro, and everyone else feels like they are just tagging along and in a different story which happens to take place in the same world.

Tamers is good in the aspect of giving Digimon personalities just good as Xros.

>>14565216
>a show where every character is worthless except for two,
Adventure or Frontier?

I'm assuming considering the others, it's Adventure and that's just not right at all considering how much Adventure is praised for how it is the base for handling characters that carried to the rest of the franchise. The series where every character was truly worthless except two was just Frontier

I am pretty sure everybody doesn't hate Xros, but most do hate Hunters

>>14565857
>I am pretty sure everybody doesn't hate Xros
Get out more. Its hated but not to the same level of Frontier or 02 more so to the point that people hated that "Xros" concept and throwing away levels. /m/ doesn't hate it mainly due to the super robot concept, the digimon actually having personalities and goals and the sengoku wars concept also the awesome soundtrack.

>>14565857
>Adventure is praised for how it is the base for handling characters that carried to the rest of the franchise
Most people who say this hasn't rewatched Adventure in years. Literally only Taichi, Yamato, Takeru and Koushiro are relevant while Mimi, Sora and Jo are just there. Also despite being praised for the ensemble cast most of the cast don't really interact much (Did Yamato ever even talk to Mimi?)

>>14565893
>(Did Yamato ever even talk to Mimi?)
That's a real good question. She also never interacted with Taichi much either

>>14565893
>>Most people who say this hasn't rewatched Adventure in years.
Please, I watched all the series before Tri started

>Literally only Taichi, Yamato, Takeru and Koushiro are relevant while Mimi, Sora and Jo are just there.
I'd say really just Sora and Hikari are just there. Also Sora at least has that very minor subplot about her mom and had the role of being the only peacekeeping voice of reason in the group

>>14565900
I'm quite sure that isn't right.

>>14565912
>I'd say really just Sora and Hikari are just there.
Mimi and Jo are literally just there only waifufags praise Mimi as some great character. Hikari is at least was a plot device.

>>14565893
All 3 of the latter had their own plots. Hikari was the character who felt out of place and forced. She's such a little Mary Sue.

>(Did Yamato ever even talk to Mimi?)

I know they said something to each other like once but not that often. What's funny is that they were a popular couple back in the day before the end of 02 in the west.

>>14565912
I honestly don't remember them talking much. Definitely lots of of Mimi and Jo and Koushiro though.

>>14565938
>All 3 of the latter had their own plots
They had their own plots but they were ultimately superfluous to the whole thing and didn't contribute to much as a whole.

>>14565933
A lot of people like Jo because they can relate to him and his worries that he had about the future and the expectations he feels put upon him and stuff

Yes Mimi is a bit of waifufagging but she has a really great personality that causes said fagging in the first place.

Also, didn't Mimi and Jo have that entire thing in the Dark Masters arc where they split up from the group and formed that army of Digimon they had met previously while Mimi learned to get over being scared of death? I'd say that isn't just them being there

>>14565953
>A lot of people like Jo because they can relate to him and his worries that he had about the future and the expectations he feels put upon him and stuff
That's nice but he didn't have much of a point to the team as a whole. Nobody really took him seriously despite him being the oldest and Sora took over role as the surrogate "adult figure".

>Being separate from the main group fighting the bad guys to do fuck all doesn't mean you're just there.

>>14565952
Their plots were about them growing as people

>>14566002
That was everyone's plot in Adventure

>>14566030
So what's the problem?

You'd have to change so much that you may as well just make a new show

>>14566049
What do their development have anything to their with their significance to the cast? Taichi, Yamato, Sora and Takeru are all connected to one another as a whole and while Koushiro's story is seperate he is practically of the MVP of the team. Mimi, and Jo are just there because at least Hikaru is a plot device even if she doesn't interact with the group much.

>>14566060
Eww

>>14566060

So 02 in an entirely separate universe like every other Digimon show? That could work.

>>14566060
>Cut out Arukenimon and Mummymon; give their role to Black WarGreymon instead
So BlackWarGreymon drives around the Digital World in a buggy, and is a non-threatening comic relief villain who creates violent false Digimon with his hair so his creator, Oikawa, to enter?

I guess.

>>14566068
The show makes it clear that all 8 are needed to defeat the villains. Only when they are together can they solve the crisis of the Digital World. Each character having personal hangups like Mimi not being able to go forward after watching so many of their friends die or Jou feeling that he has no place conflicts with their overall goal. It's about people. They know what they're supposed to do but because people have different emotions and react to situations differently the team becomes fragmented. Yamato knows he's supposed to stick with the team but his jealously prevents that. Mimi knows she's supposed to stick with the team but her unwillingness to fight and fear of Palmon dying prevents that. It all ties together.

>The show makes it clear that all 8 are needed to defeat the villains.
>The only characters who wind up defeating them are Taichi and Yamato

>>14566127
No? Everyone defeated Apocalymon, Wargreymon would have died against Metalseadramon without Whamon and Zudomon, Pinochimon was defeated by a group effort including Garudamon snapping his hammer, Mugendramon was beaten by Wargreymon powered up by Hikari and Piemon was defeated by a group effort. Even Venomvamdemon needed to be restrained by all 8 and regular Vamdemon was defeated by everyone powering up Angewomon. Devimon was defeated by all 7 powering up Angemon.

>>14566095
Not necessarily a separate universe, but having the Adventure cast around was a definite mistake for 02. All they did was job for the new cast, eat up time that could have been used to make something out of the new cast (so even if they had been integrated better, they still would have caused a problem), and remind you that you could be watching a much better show.

>>14566140
>Everyone defeated Apocalymon
WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon defeated him
>Wargreymon would have died against Metalseadramon without Whamon and Zudomon
WarGreymon defeated him
>Pinochimon was defeated by a group effort including Garudamon snapping his hamme
WarGreymon dfeated him
> Mugendramon was beaten by Wargreymon powered up by Hikari
>beaten by WarGreymon
Done
>Piemon was defeated by a group effort
By group effort you mean HolyAngemon considering Piedmon systematically took out all the kids one by one.
> Even Venomvamdemon needed to be restrained by all 8 and regular Vamdemon was defeated by everyone powering up Angewomon.
Defeated by WarGreymon and MetaGarurumon. Even written in a fucking prophecy that that both of them our their only hope.
>Devimon was defeated by all 7 powering up Angemon.
He was defated by Angemon

So out of those encounters only Angemon has taken out baddies.

>>14565589
Ok lets see if I can cover all of 02's bullshit

>Mixups happen that shuffle D-Terminals around, showing off some of the other Armor evolutions
>Show the process of Ken actually building a Dark Tower instead of just saying "they appeared", possibly glance at the back of his neck glowing veiny black or something to hint at the dark power he's using that's corroding him
>After Kimeramon is defeated, the Digimental's power visibly flies off and is absorbed by Pegasusmon and Neferimon, reverting it to the Crest of Kindness
>Post-credits scene or something cuts away to show Kimeramon partially reforming, then approached by a partially-reformed Machinedramon showing scars from WarGreymon's attack before combining, Millleniummon lets out a roar before vanishing into the past
>Ken's flashbacks while asleep are expanded, showing more of the final events of Tag Tamers and Milleniummon's defeat
>Hikari and Takeru are paired up to Jogress, as the show repeatedly says that their crests are special, they've been friends for years now, and it shows off a new Angemon form
>Conversely, Miyako and Iori are paired off to Jogress, instead of arbitrarily with Hikari and Takeru
>Have the Destiny Stones seal away the power of the Digimental of Destiny, whose power is absorbed by Patamon and Gatomon again after their Jogress beats back BlackWarGreymon, finally giving some sense of continuity to the awful Hurricane Touchdown movie
>Replace Daemon with Dragomon and finish up the goddamn Dark Ocean arc
>Either remove the entire World Tour arc, or give a better reason for the Towers appearing all over the place
>Have Milleniummon's spirit from the spores hijack MaloMyotismon at the end, no children wishing defeating him
>Actually show some sort of final battle
>Remove the entire timeskip ending, all of it. Leave it open instead so Tri isn't a foregone conclusion

There really isn't a way to truly fix 02 without starting over from scratch. It's a goddamn mess no matter how you cut it

>>14566165
>WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon defeated him

They lose without help

>WarGreymon defeated him

He was dead without help

>WarGreymon dfeated him

Not even the right Digimon

>Done

Lost without help

>By group effort you mean HolyAngemon considering Piedmon systematically took out all the kids one by one.

Everyone was knocking him around by the end. It was a group effort.

>Defeated by WarGreymon and MetaGarurumon. Even written in a fucking prophecy that that both of them our their only hope.

Wargreymon and Metalgarurmon got their asses kicked and everyone had to restrain him. Pay attention.

>He was defated by Angemon

Who needed all 7 kids to power him up with their Digivices

>So out of those encounters only Angemon has taken out baddies.

If you're retarded and ignore context.

>B-b-b-b-b-but they needed help

Is all you're saying. How many main villians did Garudamon, Megakabuterimon, Lilymon, Zudomon and Angewomon defeated.

>>14566223
>>B-b-b-b-b-but they needed help

Which is the point. They couldn't do it alone. You can't say they defeated all the villains when they were getting assistance for everything and in cases like Venomvamdemon had zero chance of winning without all 8 of them.

Garudamon defeated Mammon
Atlurkabuterimon defeated Dokugumon and Vademon
Lilymon defeated Darktyranomon and Garbmon
Zudomon defeated Megaseadramon, Hangyomon and Anomalocarimon
Angewomon defeated Vamdemon with help and Ladydevimon with help

Don't feel like watching the finale against Piemon but I'm sure I recall them all beating things there and even Angewomon destroying one of his cloths before it could turn someone into a key chain.

>>14566245
>main villain

>>14566256
There weren't 8 main villains in the whole show so how could everyone defeat one?

>>14566194
>Mixups happen that shuffle D-Terminals around, showing off some of the other Armor evolutions

That happened in an Audio Drama, didn't it?

>>14566296
Yeah, but why not animate them? It's the same as the heroes in Frontier getting more Spirits yet never evolving into them for whatever reason. The potential is there.

>>14566245
>Zudomon defeated Megaseadramon, Hangyomon and Anomalocarimon

And Metaletamon.

>>14566306
Oh, I'm aware. And it's something I want too. I'm just noting it did technically happen.

That audio drama also finally used Pukumon as a main villain, after Adventure 01 gave him the shaft. Which is cool.

Proxied my way through it, just characters and their digimons talking, no actual animation at all.
>>14564957
is mostly right, except Dokamon doesn't call Eri, "Eri-sama" a single time in the PV. Rather, he calls her "Eri-chan".
Torajiro sounds like fucking Mao from Build Fighters, but without the accent and Rei sounds like he's 20 years older than he looks.

>>14565216
>Don't worry bro. I mean your options beyond Tamers is a show where every character is worthless except for two

Pretty sure that was Tamers as well.
At least Tamers tried to give the other kids an illusion of use, but anybody not Dukemon got throwaway battles anyway.

>>14565122
>Juri
>character development
>Implying anything not Impmon got actual character.

See theres more to character than just "quirks" because yanno what? They didn't go beyond that. One off jokes.
Juri amounted to a big bunch of nothing because it was used as a plot device and incredibly disconnected from everything else.

I can give you Impmon, but that's all Tamers had going for it.

>>14540393
In the whole franchise? I doubt it, if Tamers? Of course.

>>14566432
To be fair all of them look like character from Build Fighters.

>>14562667
>The Digimon were even worse
To be fair Digimon has always been about humans' "development", not about their partners. The digimons are usually just pets, weapons or plot devices to move the plot, but it wasn't until Xros Wars when they were given their own motivations and roles to accomplish.

>>14566315
>And Metaletamon.
Which was also a joint attack with SaberLeomon.

>>14566513
>See theres more to character than just "quirks" because yanno what? They didn't go beyond that. One off jokes.

Is learning to step up when you're the only one who can do something a joke?

Is learning that fighting isn't wrong if it's to defend a just cause a joke?

Is learning to open yourself up and trust those around you a joke?

I'm one of the ones who's sick of Tamers being put on a pedestal, and I do hate the way the secondary cast was marginalized, but you can't just lie and say the main cast wasn't developed well.

>>14566873

Chimairamon and BlackWarGreymon would be the same person.
Yes, I realize this makes continuity issues with the WonderSwan games. I don't give a shit.

>>14567764
>Yes, I realize this makes continuity issues with the WonderSwan games.

It wasn't Ken's Chimairamon that became Milleniumon.

>>14565589
Cut any relation of 02 with Adventure. Takeru and Hikari roles could be filled by other different people, or just cut them and share their roles between the other 4 kids, like letting Daisuke be the rival of Ken instead of Takeru, and making Miyako the love interest of Daisuke, something like that.
Myotismon can go to hell, Oikawa could fill the role of villain pretty well, or just let Demon bein the final boss instead of being a waste of episodes.

Dokamon: Eri, looks like it's our turn!
Eri: Eh? Already?

Dokamon: Understood! I'm Dokamon, an action game app Appmon! Eri and I are the best Buddies!
Eri: Say any more nonsense and I'll punch you to the ends of the universe with a bang (dokkan), got it?
