Personal HC is that Matt’s dad is one of the original Digidestined with Gabumon as his partner who’s path turned it into griffomon. He knew what Gabumon was when he first saw it but didn’t know that Garurumon was that Gabumon’s digivolution

I always thought tapirmon would have turned fanglongmon. I kind of wish that it actually happened and after the reboot she realized her partner didn't die but instead had ascended already and took its place before the others. To have her realize that she was used and lied to, would have been an incredible character moment.

It is really cool to see orochimon as a good digimon, given how the only other times we've seen him he was treated as some sort of ancient evil threat

I love the idea of Maki having Megidramon as her mega as like a corrupted version but I also like the idea of it potentially becoming Goldramon as I have always thought Taperimon would be a good choice as the rookie for that Digimon.

I also think Tapirmon and Maki were destined to be Fanglongmon, to guard all the Four Holy Beast. Maybe if Fanglongmon exist, Four Holy Beast wouldn't lose and get sealed by the Dark Masters. It was destined to be. But Maki lost it and go into dark route. Fanglongmon didn't exist. And Four Holy Beast lose.

Great selection!! I think Flarizamon would be perfect for the Tapirmon evo. It maintains the helmet that both tapirmon and Megadramon have and I could see flarizamon’s flames burning away in an evolution and leaving the orange scarred looking skin of Megadramon.

Digimon ReArise gave full lines to each of the sovereigns, and they use the ultimates from Tri. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

Okay, let's go: (Those are the lines I came up with) Swimmon - Seadramon - Orochimon - Xuanwumon Muchomon - Saberdramon - Hippogriffomon - Zhuqiaomon Elecmon - Cyclomon - Triceramon - Qinglongmon Bearmon - Liamon or Mad Leomon - Loader Liomon - Baihumon Bakumon - Airdramon - Megadramon - Huanglongmon

I absolutely loved your chosen evolution paths and Fanglongmon theory. As I honestly was thinking about similar evolution paths when I saw what happened between. The Dark Masters and the Original Chosen children. I personally believe that Maki and Tapirmom were leaders of the original groups as it’s the Four Sovereigns and Her Theoretical Fanglongmon is their leader.

Digimon ReArise is NOT canon to Adventure. The banner lines are simply suggestions by either the ReArise team or MAYBE Bandai. More of these are similar to ReArise than others, but ReArise has some fun ideas for these lines!

I love those evolutions lines, and I couldn't agree more for the Tapirmon line. I seriously made up a theory for why Megadramon would transform into Fanglongmon, with a couple of details that always bothered me, such as the fact that, like you said, 5 is a magic number here, and all the Beasts use their attacks on Megadramon against the Dark Masters. It is implied he was sacrified, but we already saw in Adventure that attacks could also be use as power-ups. That, and some other things, make me really think he wasn't just sacrified. Love the implication of Megidramon too

I love the idea of Zhuqiaoumon line. Starting with yellow and red element from Muchomon, and then change withe with yellow on Akatorimon while still keeping the red on the tail, and then completely white on Hippogriffomon, and then back to red and yellow with Zhuqiaomon. I believe this

The Digimon TCG gives hints to what Bearmon and Tapirmon digivolved into. Also the crests didn't exist with the original team, but assigning isn't to hard if you consider Hope and Light released Azulongmon. I would assume they would be paired Courage / Friendship, Love / Sincerity, and Knowledge Reliability, with Himekawa most likely representing Kindness.

This is something I've always found extra interesting. Just some more of the digi lore they only scratch the top of

I’m so glad you mentioned fanglongmon- all roads point to it! I have no doubt in my mind that’s what should’ve been. I wonder why it didn’t happen though

Because of tri I want a prequel series of the predigidested even more just the thought 💭 of the Digi world before the destruction where it just a step away from annihilation with multiple conflicts / most likely more evolve digimon then just the occasional ultimate

Actually, here’s a thought for a future video: what if the Tamers kids had Crests? (Either the crests from Adventure, give or take Kindness from A2, or even brand new crests unique to them) It doesn’t have to apply to Frontier and Data Squad but fun to think about.

Between Tapirmon and Megadramon, I personally like (the metal helm they both wear along with) Flarizamon for color red like Megadramon or Darkrizamon maybe having a connection to the torture she had during Tamers when she was deleted permanently maybe matching Maki's dark arc where she lost her partner seemingly for good.

Your content keeps getting better and better

So got any speculations on the 02 movie with the whole first person to partner with a digimon? Cause I’m hoping their digimon has some big importance to the digital world.

For Orochimon, why not Kudamon? I know it doesnt fit the armor evo but the snake-like and holy aspect is perfect imo. Also I have never thought of how Megadramon into Megidramon really does fit.

I had a crack at the same thing when this movie first came out and came to the same conclusion as you regarding Huanglongmon. The lines I came up with were: Bakumon > FlareLizarmon (the silver helmet is the connection here) > Megadramon > Huanglongmon Bearmon > Gryzmon > LoaderLiomon > Baihumon Dracomon > Coredramon Green (strengthening the dragon theme) > Triceramon > Qinglongmon Kotemon > Darcmon > Hippogriffomon > Zhuqiaomon (I think I like yours better for this one)

I honestly, among the many things that in Tri that rubbed me off the wrong way. I really wish that Daigo and Maki had a much happier conclusion.

As you talked about Digimon ReArise, I like to add that the game created a interesting evolution line for each of the Four Holy Beasts Kamemon > Dinohumon > Orochimon > Xuanwumon/Ebonwumon Bearmon > Grizzmon > LoaderLiomon > Baihumon (this was kinda obvious where to go, exactly as you thought) Muchomon > Akatorimon > Hippogriffomon > Zhuqiaomon (another one exactly as you speculated) Elecmon (the blue one, virus version, and this line was so unexpected to me) > Tuskmon > Triceramon > Qinglongmon/Azulongmon And I also like to think that Bakumon kinda lives in Huanglongmon, as it was that sacrifice that created the other four sacred creatures. Nice video as always!

Great video as always. Your choices always seem the most logical and most accepting. You know, this does make me wonder why none of the Digimon Sovereigns have showed up in the Vital Bracelet yet? We have Ancient Digimon, but none of the sovereigns? It would be cool to have them as partners in the vital bracelet one day. Also, this does make me wish they actually explored the dark ocean more. I always had this wish that there would be a short story where a human is trapped in the dark ocean because they were desperate for a Digimon partner, and fell there by accident trying to get into the digital world and obtain one. And while there, they befriend and bond with a Syakomon. So, they have their partner, but now they’re trapped in the Dark Ocean forever, never ageing, never starving, but just trapped in a stasis like feeling forever. A cautionary tale of just appreciating what you have instead of envying others for what you don’t have.

Surprised we never got to meet the other three kids as adults, even as cameos.

This was EPIC! Glad i came across this channel. The more digi-luv, the BETTER! SUBBED

Great video Karn! I can’t wait for the next video. Also I like what you did for Maki and tapirmon.

these types of videos always impress me nicely done!

Great theory video. Always enjoy seeing them pop up in my suggestions.

This also reminds me I need to actually finish watching all of tri 😂

Karn all your content is such quality, it's a damn shame you aren't an even bigger channel. But going through all your back logs of videos (since I just found your channel about a week ago) and also going on your second channel, I hope me commenting on everyone of them helps boost you up in the algorithm. Even just a little. Keep up the phenomenal work my man. You're a legend!

So glad you mention fanglongmon

I liked it! I love your videos that elaborate on details from the anime!

I love this video it was one of the best I have seen from you and I agree with you I always thought that Maki Himekawa would have her Digimon digivolve into Huanglongmon

I don't like using Armors for Champions, although I will accept a Quetzalmon Recolor into Orochimon. I prefer the Rearise Digivolutions for Ebonwumon & Azulongmon personally. As for Maki & Tapirmon I believe Megadramon is a Dark Digivolution, which supports Megidramon as being likely. As for Huenglongmon if Maki raised her Tapirmon better I like the idea of it possibly reaching that form.

I never really realised that I adored Akatorimon until I saw it and just gave a sad smile. No other mons I've randomly heard the names of other than Togemon and Sakuyamon got that response from me. Brb feel like playing dw2 again

These are excellent picks!

Commenting to help future Digidestined watch your channel!

Baihumon also has the same coloration of fur as Grizzlymon i noticed

I'd like to see what your ideas would be for if each kid had a team of 3 digimon

With so little info. about them, it's fun to explore the possibilities.

I’ll be honest, I COMPLETELY forgot these kids were even a thing. I never finished watching Tri, and basically learned from an outside source about the villains, and then I lost interest in wanting to finish watching them. That being said, this video was very interesting and something I never really considered thinking about since, outside of Tri, these kids didn’t play a huge factor in much. Though I do like a lot of your selections for Rookies. That one Dinosaur one with no arms(who’s name I ALREADY forgot….) looked both adorable and ferocious. Would love to see him get more love. Great video as always Karn! I haven’t really been in the holiday spirit this year despite a lot of other exciting stuff going on for me, and these videos just constantly cheer me up. So thank you.

Sometimes, it really feels like you are just doing pitches for new series. If that's the case... Please go on. I have a feeling it will work out one way or another

I like the lines digimon rearise gave to the sovereigns, though tapirmon/megadramon doesn't become fanglongmon

a while ago I came up with something similar my lines for Zhuqiaomon, Azulongmon, and Baihumon were Identical for Ebonwumon I went with an earth theme with Sunarizamon and Tortoisemon my Tapiermon line went to Unimon to match Tapiermon's theme and Megadramon's wings, and BellStarmon as the mega beacuse the woman who shot divermon's with a bazooka deserves to have a Musketeer, Additionally all 4 have a simmaler faceplate

I think the dcg already gave us hints on maki's mega honestly. And with it kinda confirmed your line for daigo's bearmon as it infact does become grizzlymon then loaderleomon and finally baihumon. Maki gets megadramon and tapirmon too so my personal theory goes two ways: either it's the blackwargreymon that the 02 digidestined faced, with its memories wiped clean from how long it was inside of the dark ocean (where maki couldn't find it) or it could have turned into a gaiomon which honestly would have been a neat idea

Yaasssss will watch as soon as out of work 😎🙌

I agree with everything except the hueglongmon part see megadramon doesn't exactly Evo to such a thing since Huanglongmon classified as a ultra in some cases thank to the pendulum z an some vpet being consider digivices in some mangas so if we're saying that it kinda doesn't hold up in all respect I think the champion is understandable mostly I agree with the Megidramon Evo

Funny enough rearize did a gacha with the 4 and your spot on with the Zuqiaomon,Ebonwumon had Kamemon Dinohyumon and orochimon can’t remember who Azulongmon

Good to se virus type as partners often!

I wanna say, beside those two from Tri , Cody's father, Oikawa, and Matt & TK's dad round them out.

I kinda hope they do an OVA going over the original Digidestined. Feels like there's a tragic story worth being told there

Tbh I would love if you did this again but gave some of them custom digimon, or even just a custom line in general. Bearmon has a very clear line, but I would love to see a custom champion for tapirmon, and new rookie and champion digimon for the other three digidestined

Rearise gave the evolutions chains with the release of the 4 holy beast banner. The orochi came from a kamemon which I thought was good but it just took orochimon out of the lineage for a bit because it goes turtle, reptile man, snake and then tortoise lol but the fanglongmon evolution I think would have been cool too or it would have been an opener to creating a new type of holy beast. Imagine a holy dinosaur or holy elephant, just because the elephant is considered a diety in some places, as opposed to the dragon and holy beast we have now.

I love Deltamon 😭❤

That makes so much sense and great video .

I think personally you could slap ophanimon and Seraphimon on there as the holy digimon protectors or switch out them for a Lucemon Holy mode and Dominomon

From the shadows, the originals are Agumon, Patamon, Biyomon, Tentomon and Gabumon, which to me means that the originals were Ty and Kari's dad, Matt and TK's mum and Dad, Sora's mum and Izzy's dad, Matt and TK's dad knew Gabumon and we never got to meet Izzy's dad so we don't know if he had any connection.

I think that all of your choices were good.

Liked those lines a lot! I wish we could see the kids and eho they are 🥲

Deltamon is a bad ass partner

In-training through Mega for the Originals in my opinion Wanyamon/Bearmon/Gryzmon/Loader Leomon/Baihumon Tokomon/Tapirmon/Tyranomon/Megadramon Koromon/Snow Agumon/Allomon/Orochimon/Ebonwumon Caprimon/Gotsumon/Monochromon/Triceramon/Azulongmon Pyocomon/Muchomon/Saberdramon/Hippogryphomon/Zhuqiaomon

Good Video Karn Ex

Japanese usually make Dinossaurs evolve into Dragons because for them, they are actually dragons from the beginning. The Kanji for the word Dinossaur in japanese language reads "Kyōryū", that means "Fearsome Dragon", do they're dragons from the begining to them. I happen to know this because of Dorbickmon's card, that says he can DigiXros with any digimon with the kanji ryū in it's type, can dinossaur has it, ceratopian has it been "Tsunoryu" or "Horned Dragon", Plessiosaur is "Shucho Ryu" or "Boss Dragon" and so on. So it makes sense for them, that dinossaurs could evolve into dragons, if for them, they are already dragons evolving into stronger dragons, or humanoid dragons in cases like Dorbickmon, WarGreymon and so many others.

Why do the Soverign have extra Digicores?

it interesting that four dark masters fought 4 holy beasts. fanglongmon vs apocalymon

Kinda wish they’d do a digmon series on par with avatar the last air bender, mature while being lighthearted. Deep world building. BRING ON THE DARK DIGIDESTENED!! (I like calling them the fallen digidestined, personally)

Fanglongmon is awesome. It was my first Ultra in ReArise and is still my Partner even if I have stronger digimon.

Nice plot of origin i agree. Makes you wonder tho what was the evil they had defend from. Cause you no they was ones that created the prophecy of tai group i still think jini a big part of how the origin became.

I'd be more concerned and I would like them to explain why these digital destined wind up getting Mega Partners from the start and to this day those megas don't D digivolve meanwhile the new digidestine erra is like essentially all but rookie and base form and D digivolve easily

Can u make a video of what fusion evolutions and “mega” evolutions would look like for the rest of the digimon frontier kids

I have zero doubt that Maki's evo line was Tapirmon -> Monochromon -> Megadramon -> Fanglongmon. In the Tri flashback it seemed like the four Sovereigns were trying to combine their power and evolve Megadramon into Fanglongmon, but Maki and Megadramon's bond wasn't strong enough to pull it off.

For Maki I really like the theory that Maki's Digimon was in fact a wrong evolution and that's why it died instead of becoming Fangwumon, I don't know if I spelled that wrong. What I think happened is Maki was unable to unlock her crest for some reason so instead her Digimon digivolved into a different path then it was meant to, when the Soverinets attacked it what I believe they were doing was give it their powers so it could digivolve into Fangwumon had it been in it's true ultimate form. In my personally fanmade story of the original digidestined Maki's crest was selflessness, she and the others have their own unique crests that no one else had. In the story Maki selfishly keeps Tapirmon from fighting because she's afraid to see him hurt so Tapirmon has to digivolve into a different path then the holy form he was meant to just to survive, in the story he is the only one to reach his mega form since the others only reach mega as the Soverinets in his "wrong" path he becomes Machinedramon. In the story the reason the Soverinets lose to the dark masters and were sealed away was because they were fated to win only if all five of them became their holy forms. In the end of the story it's revealed the whole story was the Soverinets telling Tai and the other adventure digidestined their story and it ends with the sad lines "There was supposed to be five." Had Maki been able to unlock whatever her crest was there likely would have been five holy digimon and perhaps Maki wouldn't have gone her dark path.

Based on the BT9 cards, Maki's champion could've been Monochromon; either wsy, really hope the Tri kids get more info in the future

You were spot on with Hippogriffmon coming from Muchomon, just not Kakotorimon but rather its look alike (I don't remember the name)

I know I'm 2 months late on this but, I have a feeling that Matt and TK's dad was one of the original digidestined since he knows about Gabumon even though Matt never told his dad about Gabumon.

Weren’t these lines confirmed in the game re:arise? Elecmon (purple)->Tuskmon->Triceramon Muchumon->Akatorimon->Hippogriffmon Kamemon->Dinohumon->Orochimon Bearmon->Grizzmon->Loaderliomon

Funny you should make this vid shortly after I rewatch Tri and wonder what champion would link Bearmon to Loaderleomon.

I heard a theory somewhere that mabye Maki’s partner didn’t evolve to mega because she caused it to dark digivolution to megadramon

Best video ever keep it up and try to read some of the comment

As much as I love Baluchimon as a Champion for Tapirmon, I genuinely think Himekawa's Tapirmon would become Monochromon, who would become Megadramon, because there's a Tapirmon in ReArise with Monochromon as its Champion and Megadramon as its Ultimate. I do love the theory that he would become Fanglongmon, but I honestly think Fanglongmon would be more like an "Ultra" form for it, so its regular Mega could be something like Megidramon, Spinomon, or Dinorexmon. Also, even though they ignored the silhouettes in tri., which is fine, I like the idea of the Hippogriffomon Digivolving from Unimon, coming from the Patamon in the silhouette. Honestly, my favorite Champion for Triceramon is probably Tuskmon, but I don't have a good Rookie for that suggestion, maybe the Agumon in the silhouette.

I love this!

I thought for a second you were going to give Maki a Millenniumon

What about alternative partners to them? Like since megidramon was mentioned, Guilmon is an alternative partner for Maki…

Cool video

Also considering the they became the sovereigns what is the differential between like that and the Digimon the supposed to be at the center of the world longwangmon

You are right with two of them

Wasn't there a moment is digimon 02 where we see Ken went to the digital world as a young kid (og Takeru/Kairi age) and was with other digidestined then? Maybe Ken was originally the 6th of these peeps 5. Or maybe there have been more sets of digidestined before and after Tai and the gang than we know.

gaossmon is my favourite child level for monochromon!

Homeostasis is annoying you should totally do q vid on it

This my evo line Sunarizamon-Tortamon-Orochimon-Ebonwumon Falcomon-D'arcmon-HippoGriffomon-Zhuqiaomon Gottsumon-Monochromon-Triceramon-Azulongmon Bearmon-Grizzlymon-LoaderLiomon-Baihumon Tapirmon-FlareRizamon/Airdramon-Megadramon-Fanglongmon

I want to know what you think about the digimon appli monsters universe side story?

Tri is wild...and also a headache.

I think Matt’s dad and tai’s mom and dad are one of the other digidestined

What if the 1st 5 kid's Digimons not just makes up the 4 holy beasts. But makes up new history for a new movie❗❓🐾 or something going wrong making it the reboot🥇❓

Shouldn't Bearmons champion form be leomon since it's ultimate was loaderleomon?

I find it really cool that the original digidestined got to be paired with digimons that would become the four Holy beasts. Too bad for me I have zero attachment to the kids x'D

With the shadows of the original digidestined we have Tai and agumon Matt and gabumon TK and patamon Sora and biomon Izzy and Tentamon Each of these kids lines up with the season 4 cast except TK but if TK had the gomumon line instead of patamon line. The mega for of gatomon and Angemon play major roles in season 4. I still certain that season was at the time meant to the original digidestined even if not explicitly stated.
