Cthyllamon the new digimon from Ghost Game 🌑💧

[aviculor]

I had no recollection of KarnEX doing evolutions for the reliability armors and that's because I already covered every digimental he did so far. So we're in uncharted territory now and I'll have to compare notes when he does release more videos in the series.

Armadimon/Submarimon evolves into Gusokumon and Aegisdramon. I was saving Aegisdramon for this specifically. I don't *love* Gusokumon here, but there's no perfect level aquatic vehicle digimon I can think of and it's an armored thing that fires torpedoes. It also canonically evolves from Submarimon and Ankylomon, and it's got big claws and a shell like Armadimon. They're even in the same pose there.

V-mon/Depthmon evolves into Divemon and Surfimon. I knew I wanted Surfimon for this because it's got the Main Character vibe and it's blue with a white mouth. I originally had Hangyomon as the perfect level which does mesh with Depthmon being deep sea diving themed, but Divemon has the same vibe I mentioned as it's a Pulsemon evo and therefore is a protagonist partner. Plus, it has a similar silhouette as Depthmon when its legs are turned into a tail.

Hawkmon/Orcamon evolves into Whamon and Plesiomon. I'm not as sure about this one, there aren't exactly too many options for cetaceans. Marine animals in general get a little tight when you exclude fish, squid people, and the Seadramon family. At least Plesiomon has flippers.

Patamon/Mantaraymon evolves into MarinDevimon and Neptunemon. I knew I wanted this to end on Neptunemon because it's the water god and Patamon tends to turn into religious beings. I struggled with the perfect level until I threw darts at the board and remembered manta rays are also called devilfish. Putting MarinDevimon next to Mantaraymon, I also realized Mantaraymon's tail ends in a spade like MarinDevimon's tentacles. And then I realized it matched how I had already made Tylomon evolve into Calamaramon.

Tailmon/Tylomon evolves into Calamaramon and AncientMermaidmon. It had to evolve into AncientMermaimon to match Neptunemon, I knew this right off the bat. But what to put between them as the perfect? I originally defaulted to Mermaimon, but...well, honestly, I forgot why I changed it to Calamaramon, but it worked out when I was struggling with Patamon and noticed I had squid people as both of their perfect levels.

Wormmon/Archelomon evolves into Anomalocarimon X-Antibody and JumboGamemon. Much like before, I already had the ultimate in mind: JumboGamemon, a turtle. There are no perfect level turtles, the closest being JumboGamemon's canon pre-evo Shawujinmon which is a kappa. I thought about Zudomon as it's wearing Archelomon's shell, but I settled on Anomalocarimon X-Antibody because it has a similar color palette to the rest of the line and it's got blades and spikes sticking out of it like Archelomon. It's definitely an idea with merit.

Ice Scream Digimon Partner Headcanons

remember my post about The Gray Garden Digimon headcanons?, well here's the Ice Scream edition!

Shirogane Wanyamon > Gabumon > Wolfmon (Lobomon) > Garummon (KendoGarurumon) > MetalGarurumon X

explanation: my motif for this line was wolves, weapons and armour, i chose Gabumon for his quiet and timid personality that matches Shirogane's, the line then goes to a more heroic, warrior route to compliment the rare times Shirogane acts bravely, when he wants to defend his friends (like in the deleted Ice Scream comic in which he saves Rocma and in that one image where he shot Idate with his harpoon gun), speaking of harpoon gun, because of that the final form is MetalGarurumon X, a Digimon with quite a lot of firepower, and why the X-antibody variant and not the normal one... because i think MetalGarurumon X looks cooler.

Yukisada

Poromon > Hawkmon > Owlmon > HippoGriffomon > Valdurmon

explanation: most of these lines are kinda hard to explain, specially this one, i just felt they went well with Yukisada's personality and design. Hawkmon is described as acting calm, cool and collected, i think Yukisada would enjoy having a calm friend to be with, Hawkmon could help him with taking care of people (specially Shiro) and the two could relax reading books and cooking. Owlmon because DUH and then Hippogriffomon to transition to the more mythical and angelic ending of the line, which caps off with Valdurmon, a mythical, holy bird Digimon.

Rocma

Hiyamon > Bearmon > Yukidarumon (Frigimon) > Blizzarmon > Marsmon

explanation: this one is a little bit easier to explain, Rocma is the most fighting capable inhabitant of Iceberg Isle (besides Idate) and is the only one who can actually keep up a fight with the orca, because of this, i made the line be themed with two concepts in mind, Bears (or artic mammals in general) and fighting, this is why the line starts with Bearmon, which then digivolves into Yukidarumon, a bear-looking snowman Digimon that can use it's freezing fists as an attack, then Yukidarumon digivolves into Blizzarmon, loosing the bear motif but keeping the artic mammal and warrior motif, and then finishing the line off with Marsmon, one of the members of the Olympos XII, know for his well-versed skills in combat technique, specially wrestling.

Peraco

i forgot the in-training/baby II form lol > Penmon > Chackmon > DaiPenmon > FrosVelgrmon

explanation: pretty easy to explain, penguins or other icy birds, starts with Penmon which then digivolves to Chackmon (because i couldn't find any good champion/adult level Digimon that matched the theme and i wanted to keep the whole "artic" motif going on...) then to DaiPenmon, and finally FrosVelgrmon, which is not a penguin but it is an ice-themed bird Digimon, so it fits.

Mafuyu

Pukamon > Gomamon > Ikkakumon > Zudomon > Vikemon

explanation: seals, just seals... and pinnipeds in general, it's the default Gomamon line, it just fits, they're both adorable, and also the visual of seeing this adorable seal girl with a gigantic walrus, a giant hammer-wielding monster and a viking furry is simply hilarious.

Rock

Pinomon > Falcomon > Diatrymon > Vulturemon > Gundramon

explanation: Pinomon and Falcomon have similar eyebr... i mean, "decorative feathers" and also because Falcomon's and Rock's personalities are similar, Diatrymon because it's Falcomon's default digivolution and i couldn't find another Digimon that could work (there's probably one, but i myself couldn't find it), then Vulturemon, adding firearms to the line's motif, because Rock is sometimes drawn with a gun (like on his official website artwork right there) and then we take that firearm motif to the most logical conclusion and end the line with Gundramon, the giant fucking Mechagodzilla-like Digimon that has more guns than the average USA redneck.

Idate

Bubbmon > Otamamon > Orcamon > MarinDevimon > ChaosSeadramon

explanation: this one was tough to make, i knew Idate had to have Orcamon, it was too obvious not to be in the line, MarinDevimon was also pretty easy come up with, Idate is quite the sadistic bastard and in-lore also has demon blood in his veins, so a ocean-themed demon Digimon was pretty obvious, the mega/ultimate level was tough, i decided to go with the pretty obscure ChaosSeadramon, to keep the whole evil/demonic motif going on. the in-training/Baby II and Rookie/Child one where tough, in the end i couldn't find any that would work nicely, so i had to choose something that would "kinda" fit, emphasis on those quotation marks, that's why i ended up setting with Bubbmon to Otamamon.

and that's it for now, i enjoyed making these lines, but it was pretty tough to put into written words why i chose each Digimon for each Character, some of these just came up because i thought "hey, that kinda fits"... so yeah, hope you guys enjoyed it, maybe i'll make another one later down the line, who knows.

[protokirby]

Some more things I thought of that I cannot let go for now so write them down I must.

Lacey would have Cutemon. There's no way she would have anything else. I could think up its digivolution route another time but as I said I don't want to type a lot right now.

But I thought of what digimon Kieran would have. This au wouldn't just be the elite four. Those folks are just the main focus of the pokemon hyperfixation at the moment.

Anyway Kieran's digimon partner would be SnowGoburimon. It would digivolve into Hyogamon. That's like Ogremon but cold. I wanted to give him Ogremon at first but no Kieran doesn't get the ogre. He's getting a reference to how his lack of ogre made him cold. So the icy variant of Ogremon's works really well. Also I think the different variants of Ogremon are underrated. After Hyogamon it would become MarinDevimon and then Darkdramon. I think that's cool

Gonna go play the sims now

Wait I need an au Drayton that's just straight up a digimon tamer what digimon would he have I must consult the archives---

Right now monodramon comes to mind but there could be something a lot better for him that I'm not considering

[sapsanka]

Angemon and blind date

[analyzingadventure]

Emerging from the endless void to 1) react to some Psi episodes and catch up a little and 2) say that I did in fact see that new poster/key visual for Psi and I LITERALLY CALLED THEY WERE GONNA DO THAT HOLY FUCK LMAO

Anyways!! EPISODE 34 TO 36! (Not catching up fully but just a lil)

Tailmon.... baby.... I’ve missed you so much...

I am deeply enjoying how Tailmon has revelant information about Mille’s plans etc to share with the kids- like y’all know how I love the Villian Theory in Adventure, and even when it’s canon in the novels, Tailmon never has any relevant information to share beyond getting the Crest of Light back (and while I admit I haven’t properly read the novels I at least don’t remember her giving any useful info) (which is one of the key points against the theory of course), but I’m rambling

Tailmon’s new voice is nice! I do miss her old VA, but new VA is nice

TAILMON CUTE

So they burst a hole into the glass ceiling of this underwater city... and no water is rushing into the city to flood it?

Too lazy to skip back bUT WAS THAT A WHAMON SKELETON?? IS THIS CITY MADE IN/AROUND THE REMAINS OF A GIANT WHAMON??? That’s COOL YO (although that leaves some questions but...whatever)

DAIPENMON! Frontier rights!!

Okay I’m not sure that’s the skull of a Whamon specificially but it could be and regardless THAT IS A COOL DESIGN

MARIN ANGEMON! :D You are very lorge

Wait no LMAO she is very tiny, that’s good lmao

Wait holy shit Daipenmon is huge now that we got a better look djfhdfg

Tailmon.... tiny........ widdle kitty.... Yisss... soft cuddles... good....

Daipenmon is in charge of moving the city?? Holy shit that’s a stronk Digimon

HOW DID IT GREYMON GET THAT HIGH UP?? I CALL BS GREYMON CAN’T FLY FUCK YOU

Mambomon would you please help Tailmon and at least catch her instead of letting her free fall??

God everytime I hear MetalGreymon announce their name during evolution... Oh that’s so sexy and cool... Sakamoto Chika I love you so much

Man remember how big MetalGreymon was when Agumon first evolved that far? MetalGrey has shrunk so much....

BABY HIKARI

(I don’t wanna complain about this because this series has never been particularly good about it but man the animation is a bit wonky in this episode)

MOVING ON! ANGEWOMON!! GIMME ANGEWOMON!!!! EPISODE 35!!

Oh they can just. Breath underwater now. OKAY thanks Marin Angemon??? For this extremely convenient ability???

Amazing, their fire-attacks don’t instantly die within the water either

OH NO DOES SHE HAVE LIKE EVOLUTION PTSD??? (Good thing Agumon and co evolving never triggered her PTSD but oh no baby ;;__;;)

GIGA DESTROYER!!!

Ooooo it’s MarinDevimon time bros

I love how Komondomon didn’t even try to avoid the tentacles or wriggle out of them lmao

I gotta say, I’m kind of already super disappointed that Tailmon was given like evolution PTSD in this episode but she’s also going to overcome it this episode, like, there was no time for that to really sink in, they totally could’ve introduced that character point at least in the previous episode

YEAH HIKARI!! HOLD TAILMON’S PAW!!! ;;__;; SHE WILL HEAL YOUR HEART

NOW GET OVER THAT PTSD, EVOLVE AND KICK MARIN ANGEMON’S ASS

LET’S GOOOOO

THE ANIMATION ISN’T DOING HER JUSTICE BUT SHE’S PRETTY ANYWAYS!!!!!!! ANGEWOMON!!!! AAAAAAAA

(No really though her time in the spotlight didn’t even compare to Angemon’s, I’m sad)

I’m expecting nothing exciting so uh. Moving to Episode 36

Did Koushirou get Vadermon’d???

I’m sorry I still just don’t give a damn about the Human World crisis (and this whole episode is gonna be about that, isn’t it)

Oh lorge Digimon can leave behind remains? Guess that explains the underwater city

Awe, Komondomon is cheering them on c:

dsjfkhfdgjkhsfg Kabuterimon’s reaction to BladeKuwagamon was hilarious jkdhsg

OH YEAH THIS

AFGJKHADFGJJSDGKJDG

I SAW THIS ART ON TWITTER AND OUT OF CONTEXT SPOILERS ON YOUTUBE BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS THIS EPISODE

ALTERNATIVE EVOLUTION PATHS!! BLITZGREYMON!!!! AAAAAAA

THE ONE FUCKING THING I HAD BEEN WISHING FOR AND IT HAS NOW BEEN FULFILLED TWICE!!! (And based on the spoilery poster of the Ultimates all gathered up, will be further explored in the future)

AAAAAAAAAAAA

THIS IS SO FUCKING FUN AND COOL, A THIRD EVOLUTION FOR METALGREY!!! YEEAAAAHHHH

(BTW I love how they did like a lowkey fake out and made us (or at least me) think we were gonna get Mugendramon for a few seconds) (That would’ve been also cool tho)

No pressure Koushirou, ya just gotta save an entire city from being wrecked

Ah, so Koushirou didn’t get Vadermon’d ike in Adventure, they were just lowkey evoking that familiar imagery

Cute, HeracleKabuterimon imagery vwv V cute, v cute

Agumon is glowing red?? Oh it passed, the left-over energy from BlitzGrey

Okay this is all the time I have now to catch up with Psi, I’ll catch up with the rest soon (I hope)

SO LET’S WATCH AN EPISODE PREVIEW!

And nothing interesting in the preview

So uh, summary

Episodes were all mediocre as always, nothing special aside from a few fun moments here and there

I am missing how, due to the power escalation in Psi, we’ve seemingly gone from Devimon being the villian to straight to Milleniummon (who isn’t even revived yet), with no direct villianous force to look out for... Like it just makes Psi feel pretty aimless right now (I think I had the same complaint about Appmon too)...

That said I am deeply enjoying the alternative evolutions (even if they’re just temporary)! I am hoping we might see a little bit more of those but not holding my breath for it (but Toei if you did give us more, specifically for Sora and co, that would be cool)

And now, IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE SPOILERY POSTER DON’T READ FURTHER, GONNA RAMBLE ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT

OKAY YOU WERE WARNED

I am just losing my shit how Toei trolled us by fucking building up Seraphimon and Ophanimon and then revealing they’re doing Holydramon and fucking GODDRAMON instead

Like 1) that is great fucking trolling and I applaud them for it

2) While I’m sad about the Ophanimon rights... Holy shit we’re gonna see Goddramon??? That’s new! THAT’S FUN that’s interesting! THAT’S REFRESHING! I’m so tired of Seraphimon that the idea of seeing Goddramon is fucking hype as hell!

Like honestly I’m just gonna lament how we’re probably not gonna see a full line-up for alternative Ultimates for the whole group (I mean I’m sure Yamato is gonna get one just like Taichi did but the others probs not), but like, any change to the line up will still be refreshing, fun and different, so I’m here for it!

As always, I have no idea where Psi is going, it’s been real mediocre so far, but I’m still really curious what they’re planning so ye!

Dreaming To Reality: Oneiromancy Chapter Eight - 29

“Good enough for me, Lady Darkness,” Witchmon said before snatching up Taichi and Sora next, their partners shortly after.

The ground shook and a terrible rumble of stone and metal crushing together behind them, sending a fresh wave of pulse-pounding panic through the fleeing Chosen.

FlaWizarmon held Ryo tight as flames erupted around him. He paused only to snatch Monodramon by the tail, hefting the squealing Digimon upwards. “Witchmon! I’m getting Ryo outta here!”

“Do it and don’t come back!” Witchmon shouted as she snagged Koshiro and Blade Kuwagamon who started lagging behind. “I’ve got them!”

FlaWizarmon have a sharp nod before he disappeared with a burst of fire, taking both Monodramon and Ryo with him.

“What, what, what, what!” Jou repeated the litany repeatedly as he rushed along before he was suddenly scooped up by MarinDevimon. “What the hell!”

“That’s exactly what’s coming for us!” MarinDevimon said as he quickened the pace to catch up with Witchmon as she dove for Takeru and Devidramon, delayed only by the sheer size of the virus Digimon. “So hold onto your butt!”

Jou clung to his partner with one hand as he adjusted his glasses, catching a glimpse of Witchmon snatching Yamato and MetalGarurumon next before he found himself staring past his partner as death itself approached them. He took no further notice as Witchmon whisked away the rest of his friends around him. The only thing his eyes could see were the glimpses of the unspeakable horror that made the reinforced walls of the hospital crumble around it as effortlessly as a castle made of sand.

It was only when Witchmon suddenly snagged her arms around Jou’s neck that he looked away, crying out in a burst of panic before he saw who held him. “Easy, dearies,” she said. “We’re getting out of here.”

The last thing Jou saw before he disappeared was part of one of the golden walls as it shattered, unleashing a tidal wave of dark water made of empty eye sockets and wailing mouths that called out for him to join them.

Keiko and Nyamon were the only ones left to witness the damned surging towards them their desperate and enraged voices finally unleashed to a deafening volume with the destruction of the protective barrier. Countless malformed arms grasped towards them in a blind attempt to force the two spirits to join their unholy amalgamation. The pair disappeared before the damned ever reached them, leaving the Dark Ocean to erase every last trace of the lost city and the monster that once slept beneath the waves.

[bogleech]

Not until reviewing these did I realize I love the fuck out of all of them, even Plain Vanilla Devimon who I so quickly forgot about as a kid. Like WHOA THERE Digimon careful with that edge but I am also all about it?!

[dragonandtiger]

Dreaming To Reality: Oneiromancy Chapter Eight - 22

Keiko shook her head at Miyako’s choice before she met Koshiro’s gaze, her eyes crinkled at the corners with discomfort that her calm mask couldn’t quite hide. “Can you handle seeing a person run through a taffy machine?”

That was clear enough of a description to kill Koshiro’s curiosity completely and make everyone else wince.

“You really shouldn’t look, dearies,” Witchmon said with a sigh. “Curiosity can lead down roads you don’t want to travel, and scars that can last forever.”

“I’d say the Battlefield Memorial is a pretty good comparison,” FlaWizarmon said, grimly. “After all… it was Huanglongmon’s power, unleashed upon the humans who had enslaved him. And unlike Narakumon, it was completely intentional. Even if the act took his own life, he was going to take theirs along with him.”

“They were going to find out together what would happen to them,” Witchmon murmured as she lowered her head, clasping her hands together as if in prayer. “What would happen to those the Digital World couldn’t process in death.”

“So this… isn’t just some hospital,” Takeru said, slowly. “This is… where Huanglongmon died.”

“Seems like it,” FlaWizarmon said. “No idea why Zeed’s been hidin’ out here of all places.”

“I-it’s so… so... disrespectful!” Monodramon said furiously as he clenched his fists, raising them as if to shake them at the monster in question. “T-t-to desecrate Lord Huanglongmon’s memory like this…!”

“B-but wait!” Jou protested, struggling to comprehend what he was hearing. “If these are the same humans… then that means they’ve been here for years! And that doesn’t even count how much passed during the time distortion! So why aren’t they showing any signs of decomposition at all? They should probably even be nothing but bones…” His rambling trailed off to silence as a thought suddenly popped into his head. “…Oh.”

“Jou?” MarinDevimon leaned down to look at his partner. “What is it?”

“Well, I… just remembered,” Jou said, with a frown. “They’re… data right now. They’ve been converted, so they don’t currently have any tissue to decompose. But even more, the data they do have isn’t the same as a Digimon’s. They’re… a total anomaly. That’s why the Digital World can’t process them, and why they’re still…” His gaze dropped to his hands as he slowly flexed them. He then jerked before his gaze quickly turned to Keiko, his eyes widening as it immediately made the next logical connection . “Oh!”

[dragonandtiger]

Dreaming To Reality: Oneiromancy Chapter Eight - 01

There was something quite odd about walking along the bottom of the Dark Ocean, the location itself notwithstanding. When thinking of an ocean floor, one would expect to see seashells, seaweed, coral, or even stranded sea life flopping about due to the sudden loss of water. Instead, there was nothing but sand - gray, unending sand sloping gently ever downward until the horizon was lost in an indistinct blur of gray and gold.

It only served as a grim reminder of what they were dealing with.

“There’s nothing at all. Everything looks the same,” Sora muttered. “If we didn’t have a path telling us exactly where to go, it’d be so easy to get lost.”

“I’m guessing that you’ve never been down here,” Yamato said as he glanced at Keiko and Nyamon, both of whom were walking alongside the group. The fact that the two had decided to join them in their mission felt so natural that he didn’t even bother to question it. Even the fact that they were ghosts seemed less and less unsettling the more time he spent around them.

“Actually, I have,” Nyamon said with a shake of her head. “I make it a point to search the ocean every day, for as long as I can stand it.”

Jou blinked at that before turning his head to look at Nyamon. “Wait, what?”

“I’ve been looking for Ryo,” Nyamon said as she turned her head to meet Jou’s gaze. “Well, trying to look for Ryo. As Sora mentioned, it’s impossible to tell where you’re going and where you’ve been… and your senses are usually being bombarded by the dead, which makes it even harder. But I still had to try… but it was usually just walking around aimlessly.”

“B-but, it’s the Dark Ocean!” Jou said as he gave a wide gesture to the water that was currently being held at bay. “You actually went into the Dark Ocean!?”

“It doesn’t affect me,” Nyamon said with a flick of her ear. “And not just because I’m dead - no Darkness Digimon can be tainted. It’s just an ocean to me - a screeching, spiteful ocean.”

“So, wait, you’re saying I actually could go swimming in the Dark Ocean?” MarinDevimon asked as he tilted his monstrous head, a hint of a mischievous smile curving his toothy mouth.

Keiko gave MarinDevimon an appraising look. “With that evolution and confidence? Yes.” She started to frown as she glanced at her partner. “But it will not be pleasant.”

“You’re more than welcome to, if you’re that eager to have vengeful spirits of dead Digimon screaming in your ear about how unfair it is that you’re alive and they’re not,” Nyamon said. “But it seems to me that following our nice path out here where they apparently can’t reach would be better.”

[dragonandtiger]

Dreaming To Reality: Oneiromancy Chapter Eight - 02

The image was enough to dampen MarinDevimon’s enthusiasm towards the idea. “...Yeah,” he said after a significant pause. “I think that’s one experience I’m fine missing out on.”

Nyamon gave a nod with a small, wry smile on her face. “Good idea.”

“So, where exactly is it taking us?” Takeru asked as he watched Monodramon head the way, the dragon’s gem and the crest of Miracles both still glowing brightly. “Is Zeed Millenniumon really just… hiding on the bottom of the Dark Ocean, with Ryo? How would he not drown?”

“Those are some very good questions,” Black Tailmon said. “Unfortunately, the only one to ask would be Zeed - and I don’t think anyone wants to talk to him.”

Taichi’s expression was grim as he kept sharp watch on their surroundings, before he paused when he noticed Koshiro walking while holding his laptop out. “What’s up, Koshiro?”

Koshiro glanced over his shoulder at the Chosen of Courage. “I’m running a charting program. That way, if we lose the path, we can find our way out.”

“Koshiro, if we lose our path, we’ll be underwater,” Blade Kuwagamon said.

Koshiro paused at that, then grimaced. “Uh, well…”

“Naw, it’s still a very good idea,” FlaWizarmon said, with a wave of his hand. “Sure, it won’t do no good then but it don’t mean it’d never do you any good.”

“What he’s trying to say, dearie, is to not be discouraged,” Witchmon said. “It never hurts to have as many plans in place as possible.”

Koshiro smiled awkwardly at that as he felt a rush of relief but also embarrassment at the praise he was receiving. “R-right! That’s what I think, too.”

Keiko shook her head slowly. “The water of the Dark Ocean isn’t like normal water anyway. You can breathe in it just fine if you need to. The Dark Ocean was meant to be a trial, not an actual ocean.”

“What do you mean by that?” Koshiro asked, his eyes alight with eager curiosity as he turned to Keiko, already taking notes on his laptop.

Keiko paused for a moment, her gaze scanning the area around them before she gestured vaguely off in some direction beyond one of the golden walls. “Mama’s domain is across the ocean. When Digimon die, they are supposed to sail across the ocean to reach her at the top of the Crystal Tower. If they reach there, they will be reborn.”

[aviculor]

In addition to my constant griping about insect digimon, I have an issue with their various marine life categories. You got all these adults like Gesomon and Octomon and Shellmon, right? And they can turn into some great perfect stages such as Anomalocarimon and MarinDevimon and Dagomon. But there are no ultimate digimon to bring these lines home. While it’s next to impossible to make an insect line without funneling it back into Kabuterimon/Kuwagamon, it’s completely impossible to make a full marine invertebrate line. Pukumon is a pufferfish, Plesiomon is a plesiosaur, Leviamon is a crocodile, MetalSeadramon is a sea serpent, AncientMermaimon and Neptunemon are merfolk. Those are the only options for a nautical ultimate and not one of them follows up thematically on all the mollusks and sea bugs running around in the franchise

I also see that Ebidramon can’t evolve into Anomalocarimon and I wish it could

[dragonandtiger]

Dreaming To Reality: Oneiromancy Chapter Seven - 06

“Mimi? I’m ready,” Algomon said as she turned to her partner. She knew that the Chosen of Purity was struggling with her decision, while she didn’t want to pressure Mimi, she wanted to continue giving her support.

Mimi smiled faintly at Algomon, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Well, at least you won’t have to stay in that scary evolution any longer.” With that, she used her Digivice to revert her partner back to Palmon before transferring the Digimental to Jou.

Palmon moved to hug Mimi, her grip tight. “It’s fine, Mimi. Sora’s right - it’s unfair to make you do all the hard things all the time.”

“Right,” Sora said as she moved to place her hand against Mimi’s back. “You’ve done more than enough.”

Mimi returned the hug just as tightly before giving Sora a weak but grateful smile. “I guess you would know, right, Sora?”

Sora nodded, returning the smile with a soft one of her own.

A flash of light signalled Tentomon’s evolution, and he soon appeared at the form he had back when they were first trying out the Digimentals - Blade Kuwagamon. The sword-like bug Digimon hovered in the air thanks to his electric wings. “I am ready, Koshiro.”

Jou glanced at Koshiro and Blade Kuwagamon before turning to Gomamon. He wasn’t sure what to expect, but if Algomon was anything to go by, he had to be prepared for anything. “Um, are you ready, Gomamon?”

“More ready than you are,” Gomamon said with a wink. “Let’s go viral.”

Jou gave a small nod before he lifted his Digivice, pointing it at his partner. The evolution that overtook Gomamon was gigantic, easily the size of a house. Disturbingly, he too looked hauntingly similar to Devimon, though with fins on his pointed head and a third red eye. Most striking of all were the fact that his hands ended in massive white tentacles framed in lengthy black claws, two more identical tentacles came from his back along with an array of undulating slender black tendrils that hid amidst his tattered black cloak.

“MarinDevimon!” the new horrifying evolution proclaimed in a low, rumbling tone that sounded like thunder.

Jou’s eyes widened as his glasses slid down his nose slightly. “Ah.”

Mimi shuddered and shot Miyako an accusing look. “Why are all your Digimental evolutions so creepy!?”

[dragonandtiger]

Dreaming To Reality: Oneiromancy Chapter Seven - 07

Rather than appear chastised, Miyako grinned smugly and took a moment to readjust her glasses before delivering a retort. “I don’t do cute.”

Iori gave Miyako a pointed look, a whisper of a smile creeping in at the corners of his mouth. “So is that why you have a complete set of-”

“Shuuush your face!” Miyako said loudly to drown out Iori’s words as she shoved her hands over his mouth, her cheeks tinted just a bit pink.

Kudamon was quick to join in, flopping down on top of Iori’s head. “Don’t you know it’s rude to talk about a lady’s business without her consent?”

Iori simply grinned behind Miyako’s hands, but said nothing more.

Koshiro let out a thoughtful hum as he looked over MarinDevimon. “This might be something to analyze sometime when we don’t have more pressing business to deal with.” He paused upon noticing a couple confused looks and rushed to clarify. “I mean, similarities between evolutions, both due to the Digimentals and the Digimon they’re used on. There should be some sort of reason for who evolves into what and how.”

“Welp, looks like they’re ready,” FlaWizarmon said as he turned to Witchmon. “All yours.”

V-mon frowned before he turned to Daisuke, noting the troubled expression on his partner’s face. “Daisuke… are you sure about this? I won’t let anyone bully you into doing what you don’t want to do.”

Daisuke looked to V-mon, conflict clearly warring across his face. “I…”

A feeling of cold on his shoulder stopped him from trying to say anything, drawing his attention back to Keiko. Meeting the red gaze of the dead girl, he had to suppress a shudder as she leaned in close to him, but, surprisingly, he saw sadness in her eyes rather than judgement.

“I was watching you,” Keiko said quietly so that only he would hear her. “Not just what happened with Wormmon, but every time you met with Ken-chan.” She smiled faintly. “You made him happy. Even after everything Zeed Millenniumon and the Dark Ocean did to him.”

Daisuke flinched, his insides recoiling and going cold as if the ghost had punched him in the gut with her words alone.
