Digimon Liberator is just what the Franchise needed.
Plus, the fact that it's giving me Yugioh vibes is a Big Plus.
Why?? Nothing about that is digimon its just yugio with a pant job hell the “dogimon” asoect makes it closer to chotic thn digimon
I originally got into the game because the game itself feels like a Yugioh episode. Depending on your deck and digivolutions, the combos in this game get absolutely bonkers in a good way. (Except maybe not when you're on the receiving end 😆)
Eh Digimon actually tried this before with Tamers
Digimon season 3?
“Digimon fans have had a hard year-“ More like a hard decade
Make it two decades
Digimon fans have never eaten that good since 01...
@@romusa10for reals😔
I can't stop geeking about Liberator lol. I'm a tcg person and I love how their Digivice is the deck box itself. I've played and collected MTG, Digimon tcg etc. for as long as I can remember and never would I have thought of using the deck box itself as a digivice.
I would love to see a digimon liberator anime.
or better yet a game.
@@nightwolf235 or both
I love the idea of Liberators doing two story arcs, one(Shota’s story) for new players to get the tutorial for the card game, and the second(Yuki’s story) for advance/veterans players to see card game played by pro players.
This is a cool pitch and concept which similar with Tamers, but most digi-fans want anime series more, hope this could lead to a anime adaption or new series in the future.
Same. I like the TCG and wouldn't mind a Liberators anime, but I think I would like a more conventional digimon season more.
No please not more anime
@@Exodia_MisogynistBro a Tamers Twice would go so hard. Just make them 16 years old. I'd watch that.
@@ViralwingX they'd ruin it somehow, you just never saw Ghost Game, had an absolute terrible delivery and ending
@@Exodia_Misogynist Yeah but Ghost game is all original work. Tamers Twice would be Like Tri a sequel of established characters and setting.
I'm glad it's a manga because I think a more visual format such as that will allow the storytelling to really flourish if Liberator stays consistent with its quality
I guess a bit of a fun fact but apparently Impmon was supposedly what was planned to be Takado's Digimon partner in Tamers before it was changed for him to have a Digimon like Agumon. In a way the Growlmon to Megidramon version evolutions for Impmon pays a homage to that original plan where Impmon gets a more linear evolution and does not become a Great Demon Lord.
Funny enough though I still like the idea that Takado in Tamers straight up created Guilmon using his notebook to design what is basically a virus Digimon with Agumon's data. Basically a change for Takado to have an Agumon like partner instead lead to the creative decision that defined Takado's personality having created his own Digimon that was later brought to life by a Digivice.
I've been a fan of Digimon since the beginning, Yu-Gi-Oh! since 2006 with Pyramid of Light on Sky Movies, I learned how to play Duel Monsters from watching GX myself and I didn't learn that Digimon had even gotten a new Card Game until I saw one guy's playmat with MetalMamemon and MetalGreymon from the opening of Digimon World and then it dawned on me what they were playing and I've been playing since! While I will admit I did drift away briefly, the announcedment of Digimon Survive was what brought me back and I caught up with Digimon Lore during lockdown and discovered your and Karn's channels and then learned about Last Evolution Kizuna!
I hope someday there will be a tenth Digimon anime series after the Digimon Ghost Game Anime. It would be great if we got another Digimon Anime.
I still think there should be extra season or at least a movie to conclude Digimon Ghost Game. The story is still inconclusive and we have yet to see ArcturusMon and ProximaMon
its safe to say we will get another anime how long that will be who knows
@@jetguy128NO, we don't need another train wreck of that show. Besides, the story and plot is already finished
@@redlord4321probably 2 or 3 or 4 years from now
@@MatthewLoh-ru1mw why? Was the anime bad?
If Digimon had ANY FINANCIAL leadership - then they would have made a Digimon version of Yugioh Dual links or a VR game to go with this at release...it would kill
They're aware that there is interest in a digital version. It's why they made a tutorial app for the game.
There is a fanmade working fully auto sim
As Ryan George would say a Digimon/Yu-GI-Oh crossover would be tight.
Hyped for this, seems hella interesting
Also 1:37 Love how Impmons new evolution line is similar to Guilmons
It a homeage to the fact impmon was originally supposed to be takato partner not guilmon
@@michaelliggett1622 Oh Dang didnt know that. Thought it was an homeage to how impmon was so crucial to guilmons development
@@whotfduece08 well it was basically impmon going to be mc partner then the director was like how about a more agumon like digimon for the partner thus guilmon was born
@@michaelliggett1622 Yea just finished karn ex video lol
Hopefully this leads to an anime! I love the QA approach too!
These guys created a story about an online Digimon TCG game instead making the game itself.
Does it still not have an online client?
@@SBroproductionsthere's a fan made online client called DCGO
@@SBroproductionsit has a fan made one with online capabilities called DCGO
Just search for "dcgo tcg" and it should pop up. It's updated to BT16 aswell
Yeah we really need an online client lmao
NEXT did the same thing with the virtual pets, but at least fans stepped in like 15 years later with an Arduino project (Digimon 0NL1NE)
My fav part of webcomic liberator is the highly funky UI and visuals on digivolve, name tag when they appear, and option card refrencing digimon's move is very stylized
I hope this quality can be consistent throughout the series
I played the tcg, and had some non digimon fans play this game and learning digimon through the TCG
Hope this series took off and bringing new wave of fans
It'd be interesting if Liberators somehow crosses over with the world of Tamers and have Takato, Henry and Rika adapt to this new card game and use it somehow with their digivices
So Impmon's new evolution line is essentially Guilmon all the way to Megidramon.
Yes, pretty much
But with an added rock and roll theme
South Park predicted Shoemon
The Digimon Card game is awesome and I encourage everyone to try it out! This web comic is also fire!!! Can't wait to see more of it!
The Greed Island comparison got me so hyped
Honestly, with the Digimon Anime being prisoner of Toei... New Manga and Novels is EXACTLY what I want to see.
The chances of an ANime being good are pretty low, but with Manga and Novels they can go NUTS.
I'm already excited about the manga for Liberator. The story seems fun and the characters do as well. And of course, the fact that they aren't just kids. And while I didn't consider it at first, you're right! Being a card game lets them just toss whatever digimon they like into the story no matter the level, which is such a cool thing!
I am looking forward to the novel too. Really hoping it can live up to it's premise, and that the manga keeps up it's current charm.
Also inbetween the webcomic updates and the webnovel they have in universe lore segements on the main website
Sounds like the love child of Tamers and Cybesleuth (which was already the love child of .Hack// and Summer Wars). I'm so here for this!
This visual format is more like a manhwa and I love it!
Actually, it's a Web Comic, hence it feels similiar to a manhwa
“Took some liberties with the rules” has to be an understatement with the Yugioh anime 🤣
I’m keeping a close on this one hoping that it’s success will lead to an anime series
I love it, can’t wait to buy the cards in English
Impmon stole Guilmons' evolution line, then dyed it purple
That's super weird
Impmon: I'm gonna ruin this Mon's whole career
@@TimeHero72 That's totally an Impmon thing to do tbf
You couldn't explain it any better, nothing more to say. I'm really hyped about Liberator too! And also as someone who haven't played any TCG before, I totally recommend you give the Digimon TCG a shoot, it's really fun!
I really love Shoto and Pteromon's dynamic so far. Honestly I kinda missed the goofier Digimon protags after we got two serious leaning ones in a row
omg I had no idea it was on webtoon! that makes it so much easier for me to read!! I'm even more excited now!!
This is the first I'm hearing of Liberator, now I have to go check it out! Thanks!
Honestly I want them to release a digimon tcg app it would be about as popular as yugioh
The concept is really intresting, definetly going to start reading both.
It's really good so far and as a lover of the card game, I'm psyched for it!
I had no idea this was going on but now Im interested
When they announced it I thought it would be more like tamers using cards but a style like yugioh is welcome, and I think it's a little strange that the protagonist is already an adult (18 years old) and don't have googles, but it's no problem for the work, I read both chapters and I'm excited for more
I wish there was a REAL new Digimon series
It is, just not in Anime form
Can still be animated bro
@@datboirb that is up to Toei
Digimon liberator got me excited for it and gives me yugioh vibes 😀
cardfight vanguard was a great show that taught you the card game and showed off the cool cards so well i ended up buying some decks
I've been reading each story, and it's been good! Been a Digimon fan since the original series aired in the US, and I've been playing the card game (when I can). Liberator seems like it should be a good addition to the franchise.
2024 and I’m re-playing digimon battle card in ps1🤣
I have a few more of the older Digimon series to watch, but I've been making my way through the series. This new one definitely sounds interesting, though I'm usually less critical of shows than others, so I'll likely enjoy it so long as I enjoy the art and it has a story with depth to it.
I'm enjoying it so far, though I'd still like to get more for a sample of the bigger picture and to hook me in.
Digimon combining with the VRMMO genre is brilliant I can’t believe it took this long
Omg Im discovering this now and I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS, SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES ❤❤❤
Liberator is definitely an interesting story, and they learned from Seekers by making it much more accessible.
Also if you are interested in getting into the TCG, but don't want to mess with physical cards right now, there is an official Tutorial App and a recent fan made Sim.
Yugioh was always more complicated irl tcg, simply due to all the complex conditional text at the bottom of alot of cards. It was the yugioh video games like those on the Nintendo DS that automated it or at least highlighted cards m stuff you "could" use or moves you could do, that made it easier to follow and allowed me to actually enjoy playing it. Tbh, yugioh duel links is the current medium of yugioh I can follow and enjoy. All ots missing is attack animations like pokemon for every monster. I actually want a mixed reality version on meta quest in the future haha. I'd love a mixed reality Digimon game as well.
i wanna see more of this god i wish this series was animated
please make this a spiritual successor to the best digimon character driven story Tamers and actually succeeding
Just seing someone with an impmon partner in the novel as a main character is enough to grab my attention. Kinda wish that perspective is the one that gets animated
I think they could work on making the way the card game portion easier to follow. In the newest chapter I found it a bit hard to keep track of what was going on in the beginning. The AI losing two security happens in a single frame and is barely touched on. Also, since they only show the cards when they need to, there's going to be a growing problem with having multiple cards with the same name but different abilities.
Digimon Digital Card Battle on the Ps1 was a great game too. Bandai should make another one with multiplayer
It makes me wish there are more stories with two or more sets of characters and protagonists that parallel each other and then meet someway, its called parallel narrativess apparently.
Cyber Sleuth is great, but the other protagonist is only mentioned, I wanted my boys Keisuke and Takumi to meet man.
The only other series I can think of with this kind of narrative is resident evil.
the new impmon line feels greatly inspired by megidramon, guilmon evil mega form, wich is a fun detail, and "easter egg" because of the result of the beelzemon/megidramon fight on the 3rd anime
Also due to the fact impmon was supposed to be takato partner not guilmon but the director wanted a agumon like digimon thus guilmon was born
It's like Hypno and Kurata's DATS faction vs your traditional tamers/digidestined
Digimon Liberators is off to such a great start. My only nitpicks/concerns aren't even really against Liberators, just the way the TCG is going to translate into comic format. Tamer cards haven't been shown, but if they do are they going to act like continuous spells/traps in Yugioh and just be cards with the characters or will they be holograms of the characters? Insert pointing spiderman meme with Shoto and his tamer cards. The imagery of a Shinegreymon player with an army of Marcus Damons on their field sounds like it would also make for a great bit.
The other thing is that because of the mechanics of the game, it sorta takes the meaning and impact away from evolution in the story. I get that a lot of people don't like ass-pulls and miracles because they can feel cheap, but I honestly feel like a "Heart of the Cards" style approach to digivolution lines of the main partners would've been acceptable. These are minor things to take note of but in no way takes away from the experience of the story. The TCG being translated into another medium is really cool, and I can't wait to see where it goes and how it will tackle other aspects of the game.
They did confirm in the tip article which have the in universe lore on the main website that tamer cards exist and are reward for high difficulty quest and that shoto does have one
This is so awesome! So glad they have gone to webtoon for readers. I also play the card game so this hopefully will breath new life into the game
I'm enjoying liberator. I love the new Digimon designs. I'm really looking forward to the web novel. I like impmon and I'm excited for the new evolutions.
A small correction: hosting on Webtoons was likely not planned from the start, and more of a bandaid solution. On day one the comic was only hosted on the official site, and as a result it was unreadable because of the unreasonable loading times
It honestly really soured me on the infinite scroll. There are some sequences where it really works (I liked the log-in sequence) but there are several instances that makes me feel like the endless scroll is only used because it's become the "industry standard" for webcomics. The explosion diorama in chapter 1 is really yarring when it's flipped 90 degrees, and would have worked a lot better as a two-page spread. Dialogue is also split up in a way that doesn't really lend itself to the endless scroll, you can split one sentence over multiple speech bubbles on a page, but when you have to scroll through a new reaction shot every other word the sentences feel disjointed and awkward.
I don't know if I would call a theory a "correction" -- I have no reason to believe putting it on Webtoons and GlobalComix was a last minute Bandaid decision. Plus, given the size of these Japanese companies and how many checks and reviews any little decision takes, there is no way these decisions weren't made months in advance.
Im just curious will you be doing review for liberator everytime new part come out?
nope
There’s a reason they announced it as a webcomic and not a manga - webcomics are generally always full color. At least, I haven’t encountered one that isn’t.

I’m not a big Digimon fan, but I have been into Japanese TCG media for almost a decade now, and I am almost positive that the names of the main characters are a reference to the main characters of YUGIOH (YUGI->YUKI) and DUEL MASTERS (SHOBU->SHOTA). The “Yu” comes from the Japanese word for “Games” while “Sho” comes from the Japanese word for “Win/Victory.”
It looks good,but I wish there was a online version. For those of us that don't have anyone to play against locally.
Cool, I'm hearing about Digimon Liberator only now actually, nice
Nice! It's Yugioh, Digimon and CardCaptors all at the same time
That's right!
I wonder the studio would able to make anime series of digimon seeker and liberator
And now I'm waiting for everyone to eventually turn on Liberator and proclaim it the 'worst' thing that has ever happened to the franchise... 🙄
Still waiting for The Beginning to come in streaming platforms. Still waiting for a brand new anime.
And now waiting for the third episode of Liberators.
Ok I want this to be an actual Game!
I just wish it was an Anime, Game or just a normal Manga... Being a Webcomic is my least favourite way to consume this. But even then, its currently the best Digimon Media out there.
We should get a digital game of this anime
Nekid Angewomon behind you!
the new impmon is based on Guilmons line ( just going to Megidramon instead of Gallantmon )
I just got into the card game so it's crazy that it's getting something this big lmao
Btw its a angewomen and ladydevimon fusion into mastemon bought the structure but im adding stuff to it lol
I don’t think it is because where is the other promotional videos or international cards/boaster pack overseas. Plus just a tcg set why no new games or at least a new device that isn’t a rehashed old one with colors. Do you think you and Karn can make another how to make digimon popular again in the west. You guys had a lot of good pointa
Ngl, im surprised that the franchise is still trying and around. I left the franchise right before data squad
Great video I would be so happy if they made an anime about this and it would be funny if they did both the manga and the novel story with the anime but I don’t think it will happen
I'm invested. I want the puppet digimon deck so bad
Storywise, it has a great premise. However I feel that many European old-fans are still pissed off that they cannot see the Dogimon 02 movie and are missing a good anime, since Ghost Game sometimes felt short and a year later it leaves a bade taste in the mouth - at least for me.
Ghostgame is still not dubbed, so I don't really care what new is produced until I hear something about dub.
Being a Digimon fan it’s hard, man.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the card game aspect of the series, but i might check it out at some point.
What will have about the crossover with Pokemon, Yo-kai Watch for Digimon to making a new fusion In the future
Digimon let's go my childhood 🎉🎉
I would love if their a new gimmick of the digital-world works not new power or ability how the digital-world evos
I like Liberator so far, though that doesn't mean I'm not concerned. I like the mystery and questions, I just hope this doesn't suffer pacing issues like Seekers did (or all of Ghost Game).
I fear that breaking the rules for the Card Game already as much as it has will turn off card game fans and will teach new people wrong things about the game itself.
With 3 months between novel releases I don't know how people will keep up the excitement for it.
I don't like the idea of Digimon being just a collectable monster franchise, the anime was a real adventure, but it's revamping the franchise so its a good thing
First time hearing from it. It sounds amazing...I also think the concept would be an awesome game like for the switch oder ps5...
Liberator seems like tamers with the cards
hopefully gaiamon shows up and a branching line for bemmon
Definitely going to give the webnovel a read
Isnt that like tamers re-worked? Card used to scan, impmon as villain, etc.
Is it fine to read Liberators before reading Seekers? I'm worried the disparity in quality will make Seekers unenjoyable to me.
they need to make a digimon TCG video game
All around love the concept but
1:35 ngl, that Impmon evolution is disappointing
Yeeeeah, that's just the Growlmon evolution line, but PURPLE
That even looks like the corrupted Megidramon there at the end
My only complaint is that the championship duel in chapter 0 should have had actual meta decks. WarGreymon is solid enough to believe but Ragnamon is TERRIBLE. I know Ragnamon is supposed to be getting new cards in upcoming sets as part of the multimedia synergy, but since the Pteromon and Shoemon cards are ones that just came out in Japan and are coming out this summer in the rest of the world, it would only make sense for the championship before that to reflect the current or recent game environment.
Hell, have the champion win with Apocalymon, so that you can use that deck's real-world restriction out of relevance to explain why he switches to a new deck with new Digimon. And you still get a gigantic Digimon towering over his defeated opponent on the panel.
This sounds good ima check it out
