We've had some of these news yesterday already, but I'll cover a bit more here, now also with higher resolution images and in english!

First off there's a reveal for a new Logo! Not sure if this will completely replace the current one, considering it's on the card back.

Next we have the 2025 Product schedule!

This starts with April, which will be the time when the Japanese, English, and Chinese versions all start releasing simultaneous.

Next up are the Starter decks ST-20 Protector of Light and ST-21 Hero of Hope. Based on the cover these will include a green-black Izzy and Tai, red-yellow Sora and Kari, yellow-purple T.K. and Matt, and blue-green Mimi and Joe Tamer cards, which appear to have an "Adventure" trait.

These decks will include their respective color's Scramble card with new art, and a special rare Agumon in ST-20 and Gabumon in ST-21. They also announced store events for beginners, "Welcome Tamers Mixer" to coincide with these starter decks' releases.

We also got a release date for BT-21 Booster World Convergence! And the screens I shared yesterday, now nicer!

Appmon will receive a new keyword called <Link>

They also mention the two Champions of Digimon Liberator, Owen Dreadnought and Zenith, and to be excited for what effects Elizamon and Vemmon will have.

We will also get "signature cards" of seven DCG Illustrators. Previously we had the Kenji Watanabe signed Guilmon card. These cards will be a Zephagamon illustrated and signed by sasasi, GraceNovamon by Nakano Haito, WarGreymon (X Antibody) by As'Maria, Agunimon by Naochika Morishita, Lanamon by Tonamikanji, Titamon by toriyufu, and Beelzemon: Blast Mode by Keita Amemiya!

Next up, BT-21 will include an "Illustration Celebration Pack" as Box topper. These 6 Digimon Cards will receive new illustrations by the same illustrators!

Another news is, after including campaigns for special numbered cards of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon in recent sets, BT-21 will have a special numbered Omnimon campaign!

Throughout the year of 2025 (and early 2026), Release Events of BT-21 through BT-24 will have prize cards that match up to a panorama picture!

Next we got new official sleeves revealed, which were previously teased with the last one hidden completely. Now we know why! As seen in the schedule above, these will release in June 2025.

Lastly some news on event schedule and tournament packs.

Ooo! Some more agumon!

Bushi Agumon

He's a sword master. He evolves into various greymon, dragon things, and a couple blade themed Digimon.

Santa Agumon...

Existed for a promotional event in Japan. It's just Agumon with a hat on. I don't know why he looks so angry about it.

Dot Agumon!

Pinnacle of monster design. Someone saw Agumon and said "But what if he was smaller!" And they were a genius. He's based on the sprite from the original V-pet. I love him. Nothing he evolves to makes any sense whatsoever. He needs to come back.

Agumon X-Antibody

There's so much lore surrounding X-Antibody. All you need to know is it makes them look edgier and makes them more powerful. Or in Agumon's case, he just gets Greymon's stripes.

Black Agumon X-Antibody because of course. He's so edgy. I want to pet him.

Agumon (2006)

When Data Squad/Saber's came around someone said "We should give the main protagonist an Agumon!" Someone else said "But how will people tell it apart from Tai's Agumon. This will be confusing. We need a way to tell them apart." And someone drew belts on his hands.

There's technically one more agumon but I'm hesitant to add him because it's an Agumon in name only.

There's also way too many Omnimon/Omegamon if anyone wants to know about those.

Digimon is funny, cause it gets a lot of generalizations. But one of my favorite out of context things is Agumon.

This is Agumon. He is the poster child of the series, and thus, the Pikachu equivalent. He’s still very popular and beloved.

And you’re like, “Okay. What’s the big deal?” Well…

This is BlackAgumon. Where Agumon evolves to dinosaur and dragon focused being with Fire based powers, BlackAgumon evolves to similar ones who utilize darkness. Hence, he’s an evil equivalent of Agumon.

Easy enough, right. Not too crazy. Next up, we got…

SnowAgumon! I’m sure you’re thinking ‘Okay. Same as BlackAgumon but ice, right?’

Nope! IceGreymon does not exist. Instead, this little buddy will turn into stray ice Digimon (like a snowman or an ice golem) or aquatic Digimon (like a sea serpent).

So yeah. A little weird. But not a big deal.

Then…

…Yes. This is a real Digimon. This Lego dude is a legitimate Digimon that has existed almost as long as Digimon has existed.

This is ToyAgumon, and often evolves into various toy-like Digimon, mechanical Digimon, or heroic beast Digimon.

This funny little dude brings us to our next one.

This is ClearAgumon. Why would an Agumon exist to be represented by the concept of ‘being see-through’ and being made of Legos?

I have no idea.

This one tends to share properties with ToyAgumon, but occasionally has the strange ability to turn into angelic Digimon in some games.

You could make a ‘it’s a ghost toy’ argument, but Digimon is filled with ghosts and ‘haunted house’ scenarios… where ClearAgumon is never used!

But then it gets weirder.

This is BlackToyAgumon. The name of this Digimon has changed from time to time. Also, you can see that he is clear like ClearAgumon. That feature comes and goes for this Digimon, yet it is always some form of ‘ToyAgumon’.

This Digimon is used for… all sorts of evolutions. Honestly, this is just a Digimon that exists.

This is Agumon Expert, or Agumon Hakase, which I prefer for Nichijou reasons.

I wish I could say he is used for game tutorials or something, but… I have no idea. But I love him.

This is Nise Agumon Hakase. … I dunno. He teaches about eugenics or runs the academy from Bloodborne. Whatever. Not as good.

There are more, and I find it funny how any other series would be like, “STOP WITH THE AGUMONS!! Yet the fandom seems largely cool with most of these dudes showing up in a singular game, whether they are playable or not.

Anyway, I wish Agumon got in Smash and got to use some of these alts.

Yeah, that was what this was leading to.

[chimera-gui]

I haven’t posted about Encyclopedia updates since September of last year but this one warranted a post since Greymon X (Blue) wasn’t a thing in Pendulum X despite Agumon X (Black), MetalGreymon X (Virus) and BlackWarGreymon X all being a thing by then.

This X-Antibody variant seems to be drawing from not only regular Greymon (Blue) but Greymon (Xros Wars) as well.

[pop-goes-the-sneasel]

BlackWarGreymon? That guy was badass!

Oooh, Black War Greymon!!! The “Jet-Black Dragon Warrior”!

So with Digimon, there’s occasionally variant species whose only difference is their colour. Most commonly, these are Virus-attribute black recolours, and we’ve gone over a couple of them already in their base species reviews. I could save a Black War Greymon review for a footnote in a War Greymon review, but that’d be a disservice to Black War Greymon given it’s pretty much the black recolour, and far more notable than any other because of its anime appearance and popularity.

As a recolour, much of what I could say about War Greymon applies to Black War Greymon as well: they’re both draconic humanoid figures with some armour and a helmet concealing what seems to be their least-humanoid quality, their dragon-y head. Unlike War Greymon, who bears the Crest of Courage on the Brave Shield on its back (split into a wing-like shell), Black War Greymon’s shield is crestless. As with War Greymon though, its apparent weapon of choice is the massive clawed gauntlets it wears, known as Dramon Killers (because they’re good at killing dramons: dragon digimon). War Greymon was the start of the trend of humanoid Ultimate-level digimon, and Black War Greymon reflects that, but taken on its own merits it’s still a pretty great design. And as with many black recolours, it looks even cooler than the base form.

Unlike many Virus-attribute digimon, and appropriate for something based on War Greymon, Black War Greymon notably upholds a system of “justice”. It abhors cowardice and foul play, and seemingly regards other Virus-attribute digimon with some level of disdain. This is some neat flavour for an evil counterpart, which are normally portrayed with a more villainous slant. In terms of special abilities, Black War Greymon has an attack similar to War Greymon’s Gaia Force. Where War Greymon’s Gaia Force concentrates atmospheric energy into a giant fireball, Black War Greymon’s Dark Gaia Force instead concentrates all the world’s negative emotions into a ball of dark energy. This may sound cheesy, but these are creatures that basically exist in the internet, so think of it as weaponising trolls, discourse, and Youtube apology videos.

Black War Greymon’s backstory in Adventure 02 is that he was created by Archnemon (Arukenimon, in the dub) using one hundred “Control Spires”, black towers filled with dark power capable of being transformed into evil digimon. As a result of so many spires used in his creation, Black War Greymon developed consciousness and self-awareness, which led to a general sense of confusion and lack of purpose. Deeming them inferior, Black War Greymon rebelled against his creators and began indiscriminately destroying Control Spires, other digimon, and important plot things known as Destiny Stones. Aside from being an immensely powerful opponent, Black War Greymon also engaged in philosophical discussions with Agumon, befitting the aforementioned sense of “justice”. Eventually, he would find purpose in heroism, saving a human’s life and later sacrificing himself to seal away the main villain, Vamdemon (Myotismon, in the dub). Nice!

It’s also got an X-Antibody form, which takes the mechanical aspects of Black War Greymon’s armour and emphasises them even further. It imparted the toughness of its Brave Shield to its Dramon Killers, its back now equipped with vernier thrusters that allow it to fly at high speeds for extended periods. This provides its primary offence: instantly plunging through opponents’ hearts using its claws and thrusters together. It’s also capable of rapid-firing the aforementioned Dark Gaia Force, a technique now known as Hades Force. Overall, it’s much blockier and less streamlined than the original, and I can’t say I’m a huge fan. Not atypical for an X-Antibody, though. One last thing to note is that this wasn’t Black War Greymon’s original X-Antibody: a different digimon, Gaioumon, was designed for the role. I’ll review that later!

Anyways, Black War Greymon is one cool fellow. I knew it’d be a bad idea to leave reviewing it til the end of War Greymon’s review, but I didn’t think I’d have this much to say! With its unique antihero angle and prettier colour scheme, I solidly prefer it over its orange counterpart.

Upstanding lad/10.

Working on my jjba x Digimon au I finished the basic designs for the digivices of the JoJo’s. Including the pixel version or their partners on the little screens. Aside from color scheme each one has a small difference in design to show more about who they are. Jonathan: Colors- Blue, Light Purple, and Brown Digimon- Agumon Design Quirk- A cracked digivice, sense the digi-destined-aren’t really killed I had his digivice get cracked from corruption. Joseph: Colors- YellowGreen, Light Purple, and Yellow Digimon- Palmon Design Quirk- Key chain is gone and instead to attached to a watch band, it’s in reference to how Hermit Purple comes out of his right arm in canon. Jotaro: Colors- Grey, BluePurple, Purple, and Sliver (I don’t have a crayon for Platinum) Digimon- DORUmon Design Quirk- Has a star like shape around the screen and an extra button. Josuke: Colors- Indigo, Purple, and Pink Digimon- Cutemon Design Quirk- Has a pink medical cross around screen and center button is heart shaped. Giorno: Colors- Goldenrod Yellow, Gold, and Red Digimon- GuilmonX Design Quirk- The bump is in the shape of an X instead of parallel lines. The X-antibody Digimon is probably the closest to a Requiem stand I can get. Jolyne: Colors- Teal, Dark BlueGreen, Bright YellowGreen Digimon- Butterflymon Design Quirk- Black bar like lines and a code (stand in a moment) near the buttons. Reference to a prison and prisoner number. Johnny: Color- Light Blue, YellowGreen, Pink Digimon- Agumon (2006) Design Quirk- Keychain broken off and extra buttons on the top for secondary digimon which will be a digimon version of Slow Dancer (probably Unimon) Gappy: Color- Yellow Orange, White, Grey Digimon- Shoutmon Design Quirk- Has two keychains The designs of the characters themselfs I’m starting to work on right now.

Time for more subspecies! Let's talk about Agumon, SnowAgumon and Agumon (Black)

Our classic Agumon and SnowAgumon are both Vaccine types, while Agumon (Black) is a Virus type.

Snow/YukiAgumon debuted in Digimon World in 1999 as recolor of Agumon to distinguish enemy and partner Agumon, and received a card in the Hyper Coloseum Card Game later the same year. Agumon (Black) first debuted in a HC Starter Set half a year later in April 2000. While we still don't have a SnowGreymon line to this day, Agumon (Black) reveived a full line along with it, and BlackWarGreymon debuted in the anime the same year, in October 2000. Agumon and Agumon (Black) also got full X-Antibody lines, while there is no SnowAgumon X-Antibody yet either.

Even though there is no SnowGreymon evolution line, SnowAgumon is often associated with Frigimon/Yukidarumon and SnowBotamon/YukimiBotamon.

[Artwork of Agumon, Agumon (Black), SnowAgumon and Agumon Hakase from Digimon Web]

Neither SnowAgumon nor Agumon (Black) appeared in any V-Pets until Agumon (Black)'s recent addition to the Vital Bracelet. This might be due to the difficulty of differentiating between them on LCD screen or to keep the rosters more diverse. SnowAgumon did get included in the Database type toys D-Terminal, D-Gather and D-Spirit, but the sprite was identical to Agumon's.

SnowAgumon EX3-016 by Sanosuke Sakuma from EX-03 Theme Booster Draconic Roar

We got cute matching cards for Agumon and Agumon (Black) in BT2 and BT3, and later on SnowAgumon received a card in this style too in EX3.

[pop-goes-the-sneasel]

Could you possibly do Gabumon,,,? Or Gazimon,,?

Gabumon!!!!!

Gabumon is a Child stage digimon like Agumon, and is kinda the second-most-notable digimon of the Adventure series – and as a result is possibly the second-most-iconic digimon in existence! It’s got a super distinct design concept, too; it’s a reptile digimon that wears a pelt made of the gathered data of a wolf-like mammal digimon, Garurumon. This is rooted in Gabumon’s intense timidness, with Garurumon’s pelt helping it to overcome its shy nature, its personality exhibiting a complete shift when the pelt is worn.

Without the pelt, though, Gabumon’s kinda just a dumpy yellow lizard thing not too unlike Agumon, albeit much less charismatic. This is an OUTSTANDING concept for a design, and it’s not even the sole thing going on here! Gabumon also has its prominent horn with an ornate almost circuitboard-like pattern, in addition to a mysterious marking on its belly. Where Agumon strived for simplicity and straightforwardness in its design, Gabumon commits to aesthetic and conceptual complexity.

Although its usual evolutionary line is associated with ice, and you would likely expect it to use ice to thematically contrast Agumon’s fire, Gabumon actually fights with fire as well! Albeit usually blue fire, so not totally indistinct from Agumon. Also, when I say “usual evolutionary line”, I mean the various digimon related to Garurumon; see, digimon don’t have set evolutionary paths, but they do have paths they tend to go on more often than not as determined by the virtual pets, games, and most influentially, the anime.

Which brings us to anime Gabumon! The Gabumon of Adventure is fiercely loyal to his partner, Yamato (Matt in the dub), exemplifying the digimon ideal of friendship and promoting their mutual growth. Gabumon in particular is willing to defy even allies in his devotion to Yamato. He’s also kind of a dweeb, which provides a neat contrast to Yamato’s stereotypical coolness, and it’s neatly reflective of his design effectively being a dorky lizard pretending to be a cool wolf.

In terms of colour variants, Gabumon has a Black version like Agumon, but we’ve already been over that concept a couple times now so let’s instead focus on the variegated cutie that is Psychemon, pictured. Psychemon is said to have a bright and showy personality that gives way to the shy timidness of Gabumon with the pelt removed, and its abilities all focus on the use of bright colours, such as colourful electric shocks and a dance that apparently spawns a wall of coloured blocks like a Tetris-style puzzle game. I can’t help wonder if that last bit is the result of a translation error or something, since it’s mentioned in the attack description but not the overall Digimon Reference Book description, but I hope it’s legit because that sounds amazing. But yeah, Psychemon’s superb!!!

Gabumon also has an X-Antibody form, with the concept being that it absorbed data from the pelt and transitioned from a Reptile-type to a proper Beast-type digimon. It’s said to favour rough, beastlike fighting styles, and it leaves one hand uncovered by the pelt so it can cloak it in flame for punching attacks. Neat concept overall I guess, like as a progression from base Gabumon, but it kinda ruins part of Gabumon’s whole cosplaying lizard appeal too. Hm.

Anyways, I adore Gabumon, and consider it one of the best-designed Child digimon in the franchise. It’s got such a unique concept and such a great execution of that concept, with a memorable and unique design that fits together seamlessly despite its very premise implying it wouldn’t.

And that pelt’s a premium scene kid hat/10.

[pop-goes-the-sneasel]

Also, has anyone requested Guilimon yet?

Guilmon!!!!

Guilmon is the “main” Child-level digimon of Digimon Tamers, essentially being the third-generation Agumon (insofar as Digimon even has generations). Unlike most traditionally hero-aligned digimon, Guilmon is actually a Virus-attribute digimon rather than Vaccine- or Data-attribute, meaning that its nature generally leans more destructive than protective. This is actually a rather unique quality for a heroic digimon to have, and it fits Guilmon’s more ferocious-looking design.

Its destructive potential is also indicated by the symbol on its chest, known as the “Digital Hazard”. A small number of other digimon have this symbol, most of them part of Guilmon’s evolutionary line. It marks digimon with the “potential to cause massive damage to computer data” – though it’s also stated that if the ability is used peacefully, Guilmon can probably be someone that helps protect the Digital World. “Probably”. The Digital Hazard thing mostly just foreshadows its potential evolution into Megidramon, an immensely evil Ultimate-level dragon digimon, since Guilmon really doesn’t seem to have that much destructive potential in itself.

As a whole, Guilmon’s design is pretty great in general. Like Renamon, it’s a bit bigger and more detailed than most Child-level digimon, though this works quite well given its anime backstory. In Digimon Tamers, Digimon is an actual in-series franchise, complete with its own card game. Within this context, Guilmon started out as a fan-created digimon design by Matsuda Takato, that was later brought to life when his design was scanned through his card reader. Much of his concept reflects this origin, including his Virus-attribute, as Takato intended him to have a ferocious fighting style. After becoming real, Takato and Guilmon then became partners, and….lots of stuff happened. Personality-wise, Guilmon was notably child-like, friendly, and naive despite his Virus-attribute.

Like most major mascot-type digimon, Guilmon has a black recolour, though it feels conceptually redundant given black recolours are usually Virus-attribute variants and Guilmon is Virus-attribute to begin with. Its wild, Virus-y nature is said to show more strongly than in regular Guilmon, but other than that they seem pretty much identical. I will concede the black-with-red-markings look does at least look pretty rad. Guilmon’s evolutions also have orange Data-attribute recolours, though for whatever reason Guilmon itself doesn’t.

Guilmon also has an X-Antibody form, with the most notable change being the absence of the Digital Hazard symbol. This is because it apparently accepted and contained its power within its body, which I guess is pretty neat conceptually – usually X-Antibodies just add traits, not remove them. Its instincts as a Virus-attribute are also increased, making it more aggressive and also making Black Guilmon even more redundant. But yeah, cool design, very sleek.

Overall, I’m quite fond of Guilmon, and it’s probably one of my favourites of the lizard-dinosaur-dragon Digimon mascots. Its design and concept is a lot more distinctive than most, and it feels like a fair bit more thought went into it. The concept of it being created by a fan in-universe is also very cool, and it definitely gives off a certain original-the-character vibe in the best possible way.

Do not steal/10.
