Usually the only Digimon that can retain their previous memories and personality after being reborn are those Digimon who have a human partner/tamer.

One argument I saw was Wargreymon should have counted as steel-type and thus weak to fire. This is absurd because even if it counted, this is like saying a Lv 1 Magicarp will beet Mega Charazard X; the power discrepancy is so great that type-vs-type advantages will do absolutely nothing.

I know right? If anything Digimon's flaw is that it tries too many different things that there's no core foundation to the series. Any two Digimon games can look wildly different. Meanwhile Pokemon is doing the same thing over and over. They both are nostalgia panderers though, people may be tired of new Charizard forms, but there are so many Greymon species out there.

@@WhyNot69420 That too. Newer Digimon have been following specific lines, but Pulsemon shows that big difference between them.

i think what digimon has over pokemon ultimate, in terms of anime at least,a re the villains. the pokemon games had SOME good villains (mostly ghetsis, in my opinion, honestly), but the anime's episodic nature meant a lot of them didn;'t get time to shine (ESPECIALLY team plasma who only got like a two episode arc based on Blakc and White 2 because the earthquake forced the writers to change their plans) digimon meanwhile gave us Myotismon, the dark masters, the D-Reaper, Lucemon....
I know she isn't going to read this, but you have got to react to what they did, too. The reboot digimon adventure digivolutions also skullgreymon is EVERY dark digimon nightmare but tamers gave a MUCH more dangerous one
Wholeheartedly disagree on 24:30. Digimon has grown a lot with its audience to the point where they can release games about crime solving and it involves actual gruesome persona level crimes.And while there are some sexy mons every now and then, they are much more outnumbered by typical digimon designs. For instance the one you showed off Kinkakkumon is actually fairly old
I don't know a SINGLE pokemon fan who argued that Charizard would win this fight. Like literally the only chance a Pokemon would have against MOST digimon, is if they're Champion level or below. I can see lots of fully evolved pokemon taking on Champion level digimon. Once we get into ultimates and megas, it's going to take the top tiers of Pokemon to even stand a chance. Like Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Mewtwo, Mega Rayquaza, etc. Only the deities, more powerful legendaries, and MAYBE some regular pokemon (if you give them certain Pokedex feats) would be able to even TOUCH ultimate/mega digimon.
Yeah, for those wondering, DB used to bookend each character's synposis with a video clip up until Popeye vs. One Punch Man (2021/2022?), when they decided to drop the tradition to avoid copyright strikes
This wasn't even close to fair.Digimon Adventure works with the outflow theory of Neoplatonic Emanationism basically higher worlds transcending lower worlds. The adopted concept of Platonism is that there is a higher reality, a true abstract existence that is responsible for all that is individual to exist. The concept of emantionism is that there are in fact innumerable layers of reality, one more abstract than the other, but in the end with all arising from a single higher and absolute layer.According to Emanationism, Creation occurs by a process of emanation - "out-flowing". The entire cosmos, and even all the gods and godheads beyond the cosmos, have come about through emanation. Just as the ocean forms its surface into waves, so the absolute forms create successive manifestations, successive entities. And these in turn create - or rather, emanate - further entities, and so on, with all these entities combining and interacting in the extraordinary network of existence. Emanationism is an idea in the cosmology or cosmogony of certain religious or philosophical systems. Emanation, from the Latin emanare meaning "to flow from" or "to pour forth or out of", is the model by which all things are derived from the first reality, or principle. All things are derived from the first reality or perfect God by steps of degradation to lesser degrees of the first reality or God, and at every step the emanating beings are less pure, less perfect, less divine. One could think of the relationship between each of these levels as being like "body and soul", "spirit and matter", or "creator and creature", in that each higher level is the soul, spirit, and creator of the level immediately below it; and the body, matter, and creature (created being) of the level immediately above it. [The inhabitants of the higher worlds act like the souls of those in the lower worlds.Basically the structure of existence is divided into several layers with a physical and metaphysical difference between the layers. In an emanationist cosmology our world is located in a layer, in a layer above ours,our souls are as physical as our bodies in our layer, but these souls happen to have a new metaphysical correspondent just as the physical body has the soul. To each level of existence, there is a higher level with this physical/metaphysical difference. Digimon follows the same cosmology,the world is structured in a multi-layered hierarchy. In short, it's nothing akin to universes in parallel to one another, which a superficial knowledge of all this stuff would lead to, nor is it the difference in between the Real and the Virtual/Digital, posited by the V-Pets and by anything following the lore of the V-Pets, but the relationship between a higher plane of existence and the one that's emanated from it. It's vertical, not horizontal. The Digital World is a plane of existence in which the otherwise poorly defined "soul", or the essence, of humans can take physical form. The Digital World is basically a higher world/realm to the Human World wich in itself is a quantum mechanics many-worlds interpretation multiverse many-worlds interpretation multiverse wich would scale to High Hyper. Also the verse has collective unconsciousness.The world is managed through people's awareness of it and all worlds are the result of human consciousness. The mind seeks ideals,builds a society to realize them and then shapes an enviroment. In a sense everything springs from human tought. Also Myuki's song that connects both worlds has something to do with human belief and the posibility of transcending dimensional spaces. Also in Adventure there are the worlds that are connected to Vamdemon's castle. How many?Well if you permutate the number of cards with the number of equivalent slates you get 362,880 possible combinations. And to prove that each card combination is its own world - the kids used a card combo with the Gomamon card as the last card wich led them back to the place they were when they were sucked in the Digital World.Oikawa used the same card combo but with the Agumon card instead of the Gomamon card making them end up in a different world, a world that materializes wishes. Kakudo also confirmed on Twitter that the pillars of light appearing in the last episode of 02 are other worlds connected with the Dark Ocean besides the Digital and Human Worlds. Each pillar of light is a parallel world. We also have mentions of other worlds in Digimon Adventure 02 when Hikari and Takeru talk about the balance between the worlds and what distortions would do to the worlds if left unchecked. The other worlds are: Dark Area - infinite,multi-layered, world of darkness/nothingness from which Devimon AND Apocalymon come from. Not inferior to the Digital World; basically the Digital World's Hell. It is beyond the Dark Web. Each Digital World has its own Dark Area. The deepest known layer, Cocytus, is shared by each Dark Area and Digital World. There's only one Cocytus. It can swallow both the Digital and Human Worlds. Time stops within the Dark Area and there is no conventional space. The Dark Area exists in an altogether separate layer and is situated in a dimensional distortion. - Dark Ocean - The Dark Ocean is stated in 02 to be another dimension. - Native World of Darkness of Demon - Demon comes from a different world of darkness compared to Devimon and Vamdemon - World that turns wishes to reality. Wargreymon scales above the Four Holy Beasts. The Holy Beasts maintain the Digital World's balance and protect its space and time simply by existing.They are the very pillars that keep the Digital World from collapsing. Like a bridge. Take out the pillars and the bridge collapses. The bridge would be the Digital World and it would collapse upon a myriad of other worlds resulting in a mishmash of worlds or a world of nothing but darkness/nothingness. The Holy Beasts can even help with the Human World. This via defeating 2 Dark Masters who have sealed the Sacred Beasts and are stated in the Light Novel to rival them in power. Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon also destroyed Apocalymon's physical form. Apocalymon's mere existence warped the fabric of space and time nearly bringing the world to total destruction. Wargreymon got stronger in Our War Game and punched around Diablomon who was said to be the worst Digimon in history that even Ultimates are no match for and that even Apocalymon is only almost as powerful as Diablomon.
@@AmericanBrit9834 think of it like the world tree in Norse mythology, with each world stacked on top of each other. I recommend looking at Digimon explains timeline video , of how it all works, it’s long, but you can always pop in and out whenever you feel like it
@@AmericanBrit9834 Basically in relation to the Neoplatonic Emanationism stuff. Each layer is a higher world to the one before it and a lower world to the one above it. There's a physical-metaphysical difference between the layers. The metaphysical of a lower layer is the physical of a higher layer. Basically reality>fiction transcendence. Digimon has a world hierarchy trough layers. In other words, the worlds/multiverses are layered on top of each other, with each layer being a world/multiverse. Each being superior to the last.
Well, if you're freaking out this much about old digimon content, maybe you should check out some of the newer stuff. Certainly worth it, and much more hype.
Fun fact: Originally the title was a lot more literal. They wanted to have one of every Digimon and one of every Pokemon that existed at the time to fight in a massive army vs army fight. They scaled it back because they realized how hard it would be to animate, plus most of the research would be wasted since the Ultimate/Mega Digimon and the Legendary/Mythical Pokemon could wipe out everything below them. Even then the summary at the end drifts back into why Digimon as a whole are stronger than Pokemon as a whole even if individually some Pokemon are stronger than some Digimon. For next time can I suggest Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers (Friday the 13th vs Halloween.) I think you'll like it.
I like how plot protected mega chairzard from brave tornado but still get cooked in the end . Oh plot convinence , you tried to made it epic in the very least. Exaggeration and all but you know who would not f around in a fight in this specific matchup.. *Black Wargreymon*
23:39 Omnimon is a DNA Digivolution, which is essentially a fusion, of Agumon and Gabumon. That’s been around since the original movie. But there’s another form that Agumon got in Last Evolution Kizuna, which was the last movie of the original Adventure cast before the new Adventure 02 movie. The form he got in that was Agumon(Bond of Courage)
Considering the original video is first uploaded 8 years ago as of this post (Dec 15 2015), the "Bond of Courage" form wasn't something they would be able to consider, as the Digimon Adventure 02 Movie was released in 2023.
@@kirby3219 Yes, I know it wasn’t a thing when the original video was made. I was explaining to Makari that there was another form, and mentioned that it was in the last movie *before* the 02 movie, which was Last Evolution Kizuna(the last part of your comment implies it was *in* the 02 movie, but it was the one right before that). I wasn’t saying it should’ve been in the video or anything like that.
No, it’s a DNA Digivolution. It’s classified as DNA Digivolution, not fusion. Fusion wasn’t introduced until Xros Wars and works *very* differently, whereas Omnimon works the same as Paildramon and the other DNA Digivolutions. Just because Omnimon isn’t a higher level than WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon doesn’t mean it’s not DNA Digivolution. Even in the games, it’s called DNA Digivolution when you combine WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon into Omnimon. HeII, when the 02 DigiDestined first figured out how to DNA Digivolve, they outright say it’s how they got Omnimon.
Kinkakumon (the Digimon you showed around 25:15)... is an older Digimon... 2011 to be specific. Overly Feminine Digimon are still the minority in newer releases of the 27 Digmon released in 2024 the only ones that fit that niche are Cendrillmon (Basically Cinderellamon) and QueenBeemon... we also absolute Digibeasts such as Heavymetaldramon... A Dragon with Guitars for Wings with a Signature Attack called Black Sabbath that evolves from Loundmon which has an attack called Metallica Edge.
Not only is digimon a isekai, but so is pokemon with legends arceus. Also technically pokemon is a harem anime since people used to marry pokemon,. Hope you have a nice day:)
Diaboromon and the D-Reaper will always be my biggest Digimon villains. Diaboromon invaded the internet and hacked into military nukes to launch them at the homes of the main characters, then used Copy and Paste on himself to make millions of copies of himself. and his creepy voice in your head. "Go baaaaaack..." The D-Reaper was the stuff of nightmares. a program designed to contain the Digimon world leaks back into our world and grows to a massive size, consuming a portion of Japan as a gigantic blob. Digimon gods came down from Heaven to help fight this thing along side our main heroes, and all the Digimon in the Digital World were evolved to their Ultimates, and all of this still wasn't enough to kill the D-Reaper. and it caused some really scary hallucinations too. childhood trauma's like when Jerri's mother died, asking her, "Are you running away from destiny again?" Most Pokemon villains I can think of were humans trying to exploit Pokemon for their own benefit. but, I don't remember much since I haven't watched anything in almost a decade.
Escalation of power is shown massivly in digimon 2020 when sora gets her birdramon to evolve a cannon beemon blew a hole in a mountain get birdramons ultimate form tanks the same attack easy
22:06 Yes, that was the original ending of the Adventure series. It was sort of retconned with the recent movies, but is still somehow canon, even though concepts in the recent movies contradict the original ending.
I'll be honest, I kind of liked that ending. It felt so different from a lot of shows where the kids fought to keep the world always the same & afterwords had to go back. The idea of their adventure actually mattering to and changing the physical world forever was such a cool idea
I thought there was a line about the Digi-Destined or at least Taichi and Yamato promising to meet their Digimon in the future, like how they had a goodbye at the end of the Adventure season... Heck, I think I remember Taichi is being like a diplomat or atleast in a meeting concerning Ukkomon in 02 The Beginning... Possibly in, wait he's like 20 or something, so we have 17 years of unknown events that happen before the 02 Epilogue. I don't think they even showed Digivices anymore in the 02 Epilogue, can you please check for me cause they might not be around anymore when they were shown as adults.
Have you watched any of the Japanese Versions of the Digimon Movies? ‘Cause you know, the First Digimon Movie was just made up out of Three Separate Movies.
Its not a pokemon clone , its a tanagachi brand its nit even acurate say cline since its made by the same people who made tanagachi they wabted a more violent tamagachi for boys And the anime well it statted with a kaiju movie which got populer enough that they got sponsors for a series
The closest Pokémon has ever scaled to Digimon has been their legendaries, their mythicals, Pokemon that are literal embodiments of reality and lore. And these same Pokemon can still be easily defeated by non-legendary species.
Just a quick reminder that up to 25 new Death Battle episodes are on the way, with the first new episode - Omni-Man vs Bardock - premiering on October 6th.

Since you like digimon and dnd I recommend digi destiny a digimon dnd where you play as both a human and a digimon but not your digimon partner another players digimon forcing you to work together and it does get serious at points live streams are on TH-cam but they also make shorts from the streams also it's from the schmuck squad people behind digimon adventure abriged and goblin slayer abriged
Pokemon has the better games, Digimon has the better shows. That's a hill I'll die on, and for the record, Digimon isn't a poke clone. They just happened to have come out around the same time and have a few similar concepts. But if you look into it, a lot of the similarities are surface-level. They're two very different series.
As someone who is a core Pokemon fan and grew up loving the shit out of the cartoon (Digimon bets Isejai), this was kinda hard to watch when I just turned into a teenager, but I respected the outcome.
Digimon 2020 highlights rhe doference the best when metal tyranamon shows up they use literal mecha godzilla sound effects the engire time and he is so massive he steps on ogremon
So I haven’t seen all of the videos yet, but mine I direct your attention to the death battle or should I say both death battles of lucario vs renamon.
I hate that people say digimon is a pokemon clone. They’re nothing alike and add to this the original Vpets that introduced digimon came out before Pokémon and the manga came out the same year as the Pokémon manga.
The original Vpets for Tamagotchi came out months after Pokemon did, while Digimon came out a year after. But both did go international before Pokemon did.
I mean in Red's case no , but generally I do have to agree with that comment..... (Especially after the joker meme , they basically are slaves in a pocket-)
The Americanization of digimon was painful to hear, but I still loved watching it on Saturday mornings. The first series was awesome, and Tamers was amazing.
You should watch Drawfee's Digimon smash or pass. It's way too long for a reaction video because it's almost 2 hrs itself, but it seems right up your alley... like you want wargreymon to be 😂😂😂
The Digimon Movie is... _interesting_ Not just the fact that it's the same plot and animation team as Summar Wars.. but the Digimon movie has that one bonus collab intro with Angela Anaconda (and it's painfully late 90s early 2000s cringe as it sounds.) And the Digimon movie also has some meme worthy music into it like Smash Mouth's - All Star and... _Inhales_ IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME. COCKED YOUR HEAD TO THE SIDE AND SAID "I'M ANGRY." FIVE DAYS SINCE YOU LAUGHED AT ME SAYING, "GET BACK TOGETHER, COME BACK AND SEE ME."
You should react to the perfect and Mega Evol of all the current main char anime Digimon series, there is a compiled clips about it You will see how Evolution has change alot
Modern Digimon does leave quite a few things to be desired, but it hasn't lost that edge that it had way back when. For example, the series "Digimon Ghost Game" probably has the highest human kill count of any Digimon season.
I am a fan of both fandoms but the last I checked the fans are still at war. Heck my friends think digimon is a ripoff of pokemon (Like most pokemon fans think) but I can give a large paragraph on how Digimon and Pokémon are not the same but only a few details. To simplify Digimon evolves based on data wile pokemon is real life evolution, they are both based on different things and Digimon did fusion before Pokémon. So digimon fans have a right to say pokemon copied fusions off of digimon. (Omegamon/Omnimon came years before Black and White Kyurem)
Not to mention Mega Evolution is essentially just Digivolving from the anime. Bond of friendship, requires 2 items (the tags and crests / mega bracelets and stones), temporary upgrade into a stronger form, after which you revert. Mega Evolution /Mega stage are both the highest form the monster can feasibly reach, it's even highlighted in this fight with Tai saying "woh he Digivolved" and then later with "Let's show them what a _real_ Mega form can do". The fan favourite gimmick is ripping off Digimon. I don't mind, since I'm cool with both, but me and my friends originally laughed at how Pokemon became the Digimon ripoff back when they first introduced it.
You are just looking at Digimon as if the whole point wasn't to appeal to Teenage boys. There was always fanservice, for the girls and the boys alike, and gays and lesbians and bis and pans, etc. Like, Bulkmon is for the Greymon Monsterflubbers. As I am one, I can tell you that. Also Bulkmon's entire DiM Card lineup of champion and over is based on different physical activities as it's original purpose was to be a heartrate monitor for physical activity. One of the Mega forms, Shroudmon, is the same basis as Akuma. Which is to master your craft to the point where you forget why you are training but can never stop again. And he's hot af, too. I'm telling you, though, that the only ones you are seeing are the fanservice ones because of the sheer fact they just appear more in relevant searches because they are fanservice. There are a LOT of other Digimon recently that aren't fanservice. A lot of them dragons, beasts, insects, and robots of all kinds. There's one that's a Yen coin with a moustache and Tophat. There's Kingchessmon who's a doofy guy with armor and a moustache. It's all the biases of how the old fans consume media, and not considering other Digimon not based on adult themes.
The reason why Digimon have humanoid forms so often is because Omegamon/Omnimon was so popular, then people liked the Royal Knights. And from there the creators went, "well we know what sells". Pokemon has a similar philosophy, but in their case it's the game formula and not designs.
There were already a lot of "humanoids" Digimon before Omnimon, looks at Devimon, Meramon, Andromon, Angemon, Angewomon, Wizardmon, Myotismon, Piedmon or Apocalymon for example.
I love how I've changed over the last decade, going from "That's BS that Tai can attack Red" when I first watched this and I prolly wasn't even a teenager to... "Tai is based AF." Not to mention this was the first case of Death Battle killing my childhood as I only watched Pokemon. Yeah, can't wait for them to prolly do it again for Ash vs Yugi for episode 200

Newer Digimon have been following specific lines, but Pulsemon shows that big difference between them.

the pokemon games had SOME good villains (mostly ghetsis, in my opinion, honestly), but the anime's episodic nature meant a lot of them didn;'t get time to shine (ESPECIALLY team plasma who only got like a two episode arc based on Blakc and White 2 because the earthquake forced the writers to change their plans)

I know she isn't going to read this, but you have got to react to what they did, too. The reboot digimon adventure digivolutions also skullgreymon is EVERY dark digimon nightmare but tamers gave a MUCH more dangerous one
Red trying to steal Agumon the first time made me chuckle but then Red trying to steal Greymon had my sides hurting from laughing.
Wholeheartedly disagree on 24:30.
Digimon has grown a lot with its audience to the point where they can release games about crime solving and it involves actual gruesome persona level crimes.And while there are some sexy mons every now and then, they are much more outnumbered by typical digimon designs. For instance the one you showed off Kinkakkumon is actually fairly old
"Pokemon clone" thou hast angered
20:56 FUNimation didn’t dub Digimon. It was Saban.
Lol. "Pokemon kept improving itself". And "most of the Digimon made now look a bit something like...". Someone hasn't seen recent Pokemon.
Here we go again…
Thetismon : 😅
I don't know a SINGLE pokemon fan who argued that Charizard would win this fight. Like literally the only chance a Pokemon would have against MOST digimon, is if they're Champion level or below. I can see lots of fully evolved pokemon taking on Champion level digimon. Once we get into ultimates and megas, it's going to take the top tiers of Pokemon to even stand a chance. Like Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Mewtwo, Mega Rayquaza, etc.
Only the deities, more powerful legendaries, and MAYBE some regular pokemon (if you give them certain Pokedex feats) would be able to even TOUCH ultimate/mega digimon.
Yeah, for those wondering, DB used to bookend each character's synposis with a video clip up until Popeye vs. One Punch Man (2021/2022?), when they decided to drop the tradition to avoid copyright strikes
This wasn't even close to fair.Digimon Adventure works with the outflow theory of Neoplatonic Emanationism basically higher worlds transcending lower worlds.
The adopted concept of Platonism is that there is a higher reality, a true abstract existence that is responsible for all that is individual to exist. The concept of emantionism is that there are in fact innumerable layers of reality, one more abstract than the other, but in the end with all arising from a single higher and absolute layer.According to Emanationism, Creation occurs by a process of
emanation - "out-flowing". The entire cosmos, and even all the gods and godheads beyond the cosmos, have come about through emanation. Just as the ocean forms its surface into waves, so the absolute forms create successive manifestations, successive entities. And these in turn create - or rather, emanate - further entities, and so on, with all these entities combining and interacting in the extraordinary network of existence.
Emanationism is an idea in the cosmology or cosmogony of certain religious or philosophical systems. Emanation, from the Latin emanare meaning "to flow from" or "to pour forth or out of", is the model by which all things are derived from the first reality, or principle.
All things are derived from the first reality or perfect God by steps of degradation to lesser degrees of the first reality or God, and at every step the emanating beings are less pure, less perfect, less divine.
One could think of the relationship between each of these levels as being like "body and soul", "spirit and matter", or "creator and creature", in that each higher level is the soul, spirit, and creator of the level immediately below it; and the body, matter, and creature (created being) of the level immediately above it. [The inhabitants of the higher worlds act like the souls of those in the lower worlds.Basically the structure of existence is divided into several layers with a physical and metaphysical difference between the layers.
In an emanationist cosmology our world is located in a layer, in a layer above ours,our souls are as physical as our bodies in our layer, but these souls happen to have a new metaphysical correspondent just as the physical body has the soul.
To each level of existence, there is a higher level with this physical/metaphysical difference. Digimon follows the same cosmology,the world is structured in a multi-layered hierarchy.
In short, it's nothing akin to universes in parallel to one another, which a superficial knowledge of all this stuff would lead to, nor is it the difference in between the Real and the Virtual/Digital, posited by the V-Pets and by anything following the lore of the V-Pets, but the relationship between a higher plane of existence and the one that's emanated from it. It's vertical, not horizontal. The Digital World is a plane of existence in which the otherwise poorly defined "soul", or the essence, of humans can take physical form.
The Digital World is basically a higher world/realm to the Human World wich in itself is a quantum mechanics many-worlds interpretation multiverse
many-worlds interpretation multiverse
wich would scale to High Hyper.
Also the verse has collective unconsciousness.The world is managed through people's awareness of it and all worlds are the result of human consciousness. The mind seeks ideals,builds a society to realize them and then shapes an enviroment. In a sense everything springs from human tought. Also Myuki's song that connects both worlds has something to do with human belief and the posibility of transcending dimensional spaces.
Also in Adventure there are the worlds that are connected to Vamdemon's castle.
How many?Well if you permutate the number of cards with the number of equivalent slates you get 362,880 possible combinations. And to prove that each card
combination is its own world - the kids used a card combo with the Gomamon card as the last card wich led them back to the place they were when they were sucked in the Digital World.Oikawa used the same card combo but with the Agumon card instead of the Gomamon card making them end up in a different world, a world that materializes wishes.
Kakudo also confirmed on Twitter that the pillars of light appearing in the last episode of 02 are other worlds connected with the Dark Ocean besides the Digital and Human Worlds. Each pillar of light is a parallel world.
We also have mentions of other worlds in Digimon Adventure 02 when Hikari and Takeru talk about the balance between the worlds and what distortions would do to the worlds if left unchecked.
The other worlds are:
Dark Area - infinite,multi-layered, world of darkness/nothingness from which Devimon AND Apocalymon come from.
Not inferior to the Digital World; basically the Digital World's Hell. It is beyond the Dark Web. Each Digital World has its own Dark Area. The deepest known layer, Cocytus, is shared by each Dark Area and Digital World. There's only one Cocytus. It can swallow both the Digital and Human Worlds. Time stops within the Dark Area and there is no conventional space. The Dark Area exists in an altogether separate layer and is situated in a dimensional distortion.
- Dark Ocean - The Dark Ocean is stated in 02 to be another dimension.
- Native World of Darkness of Demon - Demon comes from a different world of darkness compared to Devimon and Vamdemon
- World that turns wishes to reality.
Wargreymon scales above the Four Holy Beasts.
The Holy Beasts maintain the Digital World's balance and protect its space and time simply by existing.They are the very pillars that keep the Digital World from collapsing.
Like a bridge. Take out the pillars and the bridge collapses. The bridge would be the Digital World and it would collapse upon a myriad of other worlds resulting in a mishmash of worlds or a world of nothing but darkness/nothingness.
The Holy Beasts can even help with the Human World.
This via defeating 2 Dark Masters who have sealed the Sacred Beasts and are stated in the Light Novel to rival them in power.
Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon also destroyed Apocalymon's physical form.
Apocalymon's mere existence warped the fabric of space and time nearly bringing the world to total destruction.
Wargreymon got stronger in Our War Game and punched around Diablomon who was said to be the worst Digimon in history that even Ultimates are no match for and that even Apocalymon is only almost as powerful as Diablomon.
These sure are words I understand
@@AmericanBrit9834 think of it like the world tree in Norse mythology, with each world stacked on top of each other.
I recommend looking at Digimon explains timeline video , of how it all works, it’s long, but you can always pop in and out whenever you feel like it
@@AmericanBrit9834 Basically in relation to the Neoplatonic Emanationism stuff. Each layer is a higher world to the one before it and a lower world to the one above it. There's a physical-metaphysical difference between the layers. The metaphysical of a lower layer is the physical of a higher layer. Basically reality>fiction transcendence.
Digimon has a world hierarchy trough layers. In other words, the worlds/multiverses are layered on top of each other, with each layer being a world/multiverse. Each being superior to the last.
@@theonewhoismany8072 Um…okay
"I like your funny words magic man!"
Well, if you're freaking out this much about old digimon content, maybe you should check out some of the newer stuff. Certainly worth it, and much more hype.
RIGHT?
Honestly, the comments on that Death Battle episode just have people saying that Wargreymon was unnecessary
9:10 ah yes the "i'm not a furry but-" defense used by people that are definitely aren't furrys.
Fun fact: Originally the title was a lot more literal. They wanted to have one of every Digimon and one of every Pokemon that existed at the time to fight in a massive army vs army fight. They scaled it back because they realized how hard it would be to animate, plus most of the research would be wasted since the Ultimate/Mega Digimon and the Legendary/Mythical Pokemon could wipe out everything below them. Even then the summary at the end drifts back into why Digimon as a whole are stronger than Pokemon as a whole even if individually some Pokemon are stronger than some Digimon. For next time can I suggest Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers (Friday the 13th vs Halloween.) I think you'll like it.
10:02 I keep hearing the Japanese intros for Pokémon Sun and Moon. The journey through the Alola region is delightful.
I like how plot protected mega chairzard from brave tornado but still get cooked in the end . Oh plot convinence , you tried to made it epic in the very least.
Exaggeration and all but you know who would not f around in a fight in this specific matchup..
*Black Wargreymon*
Agreed with that, his is f around and find out .
23:39 Omnimon is a DNA Digivolution, which is essentially a fusion, of Agumon and Gabumon. That’s been around since the original movie. But there’s another form that Agumon got in Last Evolution Kizuna, which was the last movie of the original Adventure cast before the new Adventure 02 movie. The form he got in that was Agumon(Bond of Courage)
Considering the original video is first uploaded 8 years ago as of this post (Dec 15 2015), the "Bond of Courage" form wasn't something they would be able to consider, as the Digimon Adventure 02 Movie was released in 2023.
@@kirby3219 Yes, I know it wasn’t a thing when the original video was made. I was explaining to Makari that there was another form, and mentioned that it was in the last movie *before* the 02 movie, which was Last Evolution Kizuna(the last part of your comment implies it was *in* the 02 movie, but it was the one right before that). I wasn’t saying it should’ve been in the video or anything like that.
Omegamon es una fusión, no un Jogress/DNA (Imperialdramon)
No son lo mismo
Omnimon isn’t a dna it’s a fusion, fusions stay at the same level dna goes up a level
No, it’s a DNA Digivolution. It’s classified as DNA Digivolution, not fusion. Fusion wasn’t introduced until Xros Wars and works *very* differently, whereas Omnimon works the same as Paildramon and the other DNA Digivolutions. Just because Omnimon isn’t a higher level than WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon doesn’t mean it’s not DNA Digivolution. Even in the games, it’s called DNA Digivolution when you combine WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon into Omnimon. HeII, when the 02 DigiDestined first figured out how to DNA Digivolve, they outright say it’s how they got Omnimon.
This was no contest this was a Slaughter
Kinkakumon (the Digimon you showed around 25:15)... is an older Digimon... 2011 to be specific.
Overly Feminine Digimon are still the minority in newer releases of the 27 Digmon released in 2024 the only ones that fit that niche are Cendrillmon (Basically Cinderellamon) and QueenBeemon... we also absolute Digibeasts such as Heavymetaldramon... A Dragon with Guitars for Wings with a Signature Attack called Black Sabbath that evolves from Loundmon which has an attack called Metallica Edge.
Not only is digimon a isekai, but so is pokemon with legends arceus.
Also technically pokemon is a harem anime since people used to marry pokemon,.
Hope you have a nice day:)
Well Pokemon was an isekai since mystery dungeon
Diaboromon and the D-Reaper will always be my biggest Digimon villains.
Diaboromon invaded the internet and hacked into military nukes to launch them at the homes of the main characters, then used Copy and Paste on himself to make millions of copies of himself. and his creepy voice in your head. "Go baaaaaack..."
The D-Reaper was the stuff of nightmares. a program designed to contain the Digimon world leaks back into our world and grows to a massive size, consuming a portion of Japan as a gigantic blob. Digimon gods came down from Heaven to help fight this thing along side our main heroes, and all the Digimon in the Digital World were evolved to their Ultimates, and all of this still wasn't enough to kill the D-Reaper. and it caused some really scary hallucinations too. childhood trauma's like when Jerri's mother died, asking her, "Are you running away from destiny again?"
Most Pokemon villains I can think of were humans trying to exploit Pokemon for their own benefit. but, I don't remember much since I haven't watched anything in almost a decade.
Diaboromon nació en el internet, no lo invadió como tal
Escalation of power is shown massivly in digimon 2020 when sora gets her birdramon to evolve a cannon beemon blew a hole in a mountain get birdramons ultimate form tanks the same attack easy
22:06 Yes, that was the original ending of the Adventure series. It was sort of retconned with the recent movies, but is still somehow canon, even though concepts in the recent movies contradict the original ending.
I'll be honest, I kind of liked that ending. It felt so different from a lot of shows where the kids fought to keep the world always the same & afterwords had to go back. The idea of their adventure actually mattering to and changing the physical world forever was such a cool idea
@@mortiferamorphasmus Yeah, I liked the original ending too.
I thought there was a line about the Digi-Destined or at least Taichi and Yamato promising to meet their Digimon in the future, like how they had a goodbye at the end of the Adventure season... Heck, I think I remember Taichi is being like a diplomat or atleast in a meeting concerning Ukkomon in 02 The Beginning... Possibly in, wait he's like 20 or something, so we have 17 years of unknown events that happen before the 02 Epilogue. I don't think they even showed Digivices anymore in the 02 Epilogue, can you please check for me cause they might not be around anymore when they were shown as adults.
The Wizard of Oz was the first Isekai
Urashima Tarō would like to have a word about that.
15:50 I thought that was Weregarurumon, Leomon is also applicable if he can keep himself alive
"For 300 points, name a Digimon you know has a 80% chance of dying in each series?"
Have you watched any of the Japanese Versions of the Digimon Movies?
‘Cause you know, the First Digimon Movie was just made up out of Three Separate Movies.
21:00 Kairi? You mean Kari?
Its not a pokemon clone , its a tanagachi brand its nit even acurate say cline since its made by the same people who made tanagachi they wabted a more violent tamagachi for boys
And the anime well it statted with a kaiju movie which got populer enough that they got sponsors for a series
The closest Pokémon has ever scaled to Digimon has been their legendaries, their mythicals, Pokemon that are literal embodiments of reality and lore. And these same Pokemon can still be easily defeated by non-legendary species.
digimon and its not even close. pokemon evolve in short bursts, digimon are able to evolve in rapid ways and usually very violently.
this fight is like omniman vs homelander. its not even a contest on who is stronger.
Please Makari! You need to see Iron Man vs Lex Luthor! It’s in my top three favorite battles!
DIGIVOLUTION GUITAR RIFF INTENSIFIES
Ty becoming a UN diplomat is still better then Deku losing his powers and becoming a teacher.
Just a quick reminder that up to 25 new Death Battle episodes are on the way, with the first new episode - Omni-Man vs Bardock - premiering on October 6th.
I think Red's animated story and all its scenes are from a small series or a movie they canonically made. I cant recall its name tho.
Pokémon origins, I think
Problem with any fight like rhis is the average ultinate level digimon is godzilla level of threat
Which Godzilla are we talking? 54? Legendary? Earth? A nonsensically overpowered one?
@@christophermonteith2774 i think closer legendery m earth is abit too overpowered , ultimate digimons are nuclear level like destroy your whole city level threats Like machindramon has cannons that rip apart mountains in a single shot , metal tyranamon literaly usses mecha godzillas sound effects and is based on mecha godzilla , then got as stated in this video metal greymon which is outright stated be nuclesr missle level of damage caused by his attacks , cannon beemon is outright shown that it can destroy a mountain in a singke blast and is a literaly flying like space dreadnought sized aircraft carreir bee hybrid like and those are just umltimztes
Mega dogimon are even worse
And lower end champions are still massive issues abke take shits from a tank and survive the cirst digimon film was just two champion level digimon fighting and destroying a city a trex fighting a giant parrot mondter and they fucked uo buildings by acident loser end digimon like kuwagamon ignore human militeries as they rip apart a airport with the armies of earth panicing unabke stop it
@@demonic_myst4503 Actually Parrotmon is an Ultimate stage, and that was a very, very strong Greymon, given it was able to fight back and win against an Ultimate. There's a reason that was seen as a climactic event, an Ultimate stage and an unreasonably strong Champion fought in the middle of the city.
Since you like digimon and dnd I recommend digi destiny a digimon dnd where you play as both a human and a digimon but not your digimon partner another players digimon forcing you to work together and it does get serious at points live streams are on TH-cam but they also make shorts from the streams also it's from the schmuck squad people behind digimon adventure abriged and goblin slayer abriged
Name of the channel, please
@@Phantomcrustacean abrigedalliance for digimon adventure abridged and digidestiny and the channel grimjack for goblin slayer abriged
@@Phantom-ev Much appreciated 👍
If you are still in the mood for more digimon vs pokemon content, check out the animation from legendary Pringus McDingus.
This death battle has been around a year longer than the last big game release (not counting Survive)
This was a good reaction.
what makari said about mewtwo just reminded me theres a subreddit called 'Girls shaped like Mewtwo' lol
You have not seen Pokémon Horizons yet . they are darker than the original in some ways.
YES! Another DeathBattle reaction! I also recommend season 10 DeathBattle videos.
Pokemon has the better games, Digimon has the better shows. That's a hill I'll die on, and for the record, Digimon isn't a poke clone. They just happened to have come out around the same time and have a few similar concepts. But if you look into it, a lot of the similarities are surface-level. They're two very different series.
As someone who is a core Pokemon fan and grew up loving the shit out of the cartoon (Digimon bets Isejai), this was kinda hard to watch when I just turned into a teenager, but I respected the outcome.
Summer wars is hardly modern.
Digimon 2020 highlights rhe doference the best when metal tyranamon shows up they use literal mecha godzilla sound effects the engire time and he is so massive he steps on ogremon
You should check out solid snake vs sam fisher
Also i think if tai ever returns it should be against dan and drago from Bakugan
Digimon truly was one of the first isekais and a pioneer in the theme
The comment section for this death battle is still very active weirdly enough
So I haven’t seen all of the videos yet, but mine I direct your attention to the death battle or should I say both death battles of lucario vs renamon.
Wonder if Makari tried the digimon TCG XD Lilithmon deck is a good deck that i feel works for their esthetic
Fun fact, the plural of every Pokémon is the same as the singular. So the plural of Blastoise is Blastoise. Etc
I have seen this, I was also but not surprised by the win
Monster rancher had a great story ,surprised how many seasons it got
6:10 charizard has ALWAYS been fat though.
I hate that people say digimon is a pokemon clone. They’re nothing alike and add to this the original Vpets that introduced digimon came out before Pokémon and the manga came out the same year as the Pokémon manga.
The original Vpets for Tamagotchi came out months after Pokemon did, while Digimon came out a year after. But both did go international before Pokemon did.
As much as I agree that Digimon was and is, the better anime, Pokemon is the better game series.
Digimon games are grindy af
I just read an article about 2020 reboot for Digimon
One thing i hate about this Video is the whole "Pokemon are Slaves" comment
Team Plasma propaganda.
I mean in Red's case no , but generally I do have to agree with that comment.....
(Especially after the joker meme , they basically are slaves in a pocket-)
Would've been better if they said they where akin to pets.
Which the games have stated, until recently.
I mean, Team Rocket used to have whips... actually, Sabrina used to have a whip, too. But they all lost them after Gen 1.
You beat up the creatures, force them into containers and release them just to fight for you. That's is slavery.
The Americanization of digimon was painful to hear, but I still loved watching it on Saturday mornings. The first series was awesome, and Tamers was amazing.
well ash really dint send charizard away he was just a phone call away and apparently can get to ash in like less than a day.
You should watch Drawfee's Digimon smash or pass. It's way too long for a reaction video because it's almost 2 hrs itself, but it seems right up your alley... like you want wargreymon to be 😂😂😂
The Digimon Movie is... _interesting_ Not just the fact that it's the same plot and animation team as Summar Wars.. but the Digimon movie has that one bonus collab intro with Angela Anaconda (and it's painfully late 90s early 2000s cringe as it sounds.) And the Digimon movie also has some meme worthy music into it like Smash Mouth's - All Star and... _Inhales_
IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME.
COCKED YOUR HEAD TO THE SIDE AND SAID "I'M ANGRY."
FIVE DAYS SINCE YOU LAUGHED AT ME SAYING, "GET BACK TOGETHER, COME BACK AND SEE ME."
Good ol death battle. Dante Vs Bayonetta was Peak deathbattle
While were on the topic of digimon, Whats your opinion on digimon fusion?
It is it even lucemon 💀💀💀💀💀
You should react to the perfect and Mega Evol of all the current main char anime Digimon series, there is a compiled clips about it
You will see how Evolution has change alot
Most of your reaction was "Character hot lol"
Modern Digimon does leave quite a few things to be desired, but it hasn't lost that edge that it had way back when. For example, the series "Digimon Ghost Game" probably has the highest human kill count of any Digimon season.
Nah, i think Digimon Savers still has the highest human kill count, just look at how much destruction Belphemon has made in that series.
I don't feel safe here... uhh
Their is a second Mewtwo movie ,and it's the same Mewtwo from the first movie
She was also in dubbed pron 21:21
hercule satan vs dan hibiki
Deadpool vs the mask
First isekai with booba
Try either joker vs sweet tooth or Dante vs Bayonneta
Yeah. Digimon is CRAZY! XD
I’d say why is Pokemon copying Digimon because they did mega since season 1
I am a fan of both fandoms but the last I checked the fans are still at war. Heck my friends think digimon is a ripoff of pokemon (Like most pokemon fans think) but I can give a large paragraph on how Digimon and Pokémon are not the same but only a few details. To simplify Digimon evolves based on data wile pokemon is real life evolution, they are both based on different things and Digimon did fusion before Pokémon. So digimon fans have a right to say pokemon copied fusions off of digimon. (Omegamon/Omnimon came years before Black and White Kyurem)
Not to mention Mega Evolution is essentially just Digivolving from the anime. Bond of friendship, requires 2 items (the tags and crests / mega bracelets and stones), temporary upgrade into a stronger form, after which you revert. Mega Evolution /Mega stage are both the highest form the monster can feasibly reach, it's even highlighted in this fight with Tai saying "woh he Digivolved" and then later with "Let's show them what a _real_ Mega form can do".
The fan favourite gimmick is ripping off Digimon. I don't mind, since I'm cool with both, but me and my friends originally laughed at how Pokemon became the Digimon ripoff back when they first introduced it.
Tamers was a great show ,Soo many cool plots
Rave heart is superior To that digimon rap.... Go give a listen, its really nice piece of music
Funnily enough I always seem to back the losing side. Digimon may have won in DB but where it matter yeah, it lost sadly. >
Renamon vs Lucario.
Best digimon movie is x evolution
Hey you gonna react to Madness Combat?
You are just looking at Digimon as if the whole point wasn't to appeal to Teenage boys. There was always fanservice, for the girls and the boys alike, and gays and lesbians and bis and pans, etc. Like, Bulkmon is for the Greymon Monsterflubbers. As I am one, I can tell you that. Also Bulkmon's entire DiM Card lineup of champion and over is based on different physical activities as it's original purpose was to be a heartrate monitor for physical activity. One of the Mega forms, Shroudmon, is the same basis as Akuma. Which is to master your craft to the point where you forget why you are training but can never stop again. And he's hot af, too. I'm telling you, though, that the only ones you are seeing are the fanservice ones because of the sheer fact they just appear more in relevant searches because they are fanservice. There are a LOT of other Digimon recently that aren't fanservice. A lot of them dragons, beasts, insects, and robots of all kinds. There's one that's a Yen coin with a moustache and Tophat. There's Kingchessmon who's a doofy guy with armor and a moustache. It's all the biases of how the old fans consume media, and not considering other Digimon not based on adult themes.
Is makari looking forward to the new game ZA there bring back mega pokemon
The reason why Digimon have humanoid forms so often is because Omegamon/Omnimon was so popular, then people liked the Royal Knights. And from there the creators went, "well we know what sells".
Pokemon has a similar philosophy, but in their case it's the game formula and not designs.
There were already a lot of "humanoids" Digimon before Omnimon, looks at Devimon, Meramon, Andromon, Angemon, Angewomon, Wizardmon, Myotismon, Piedmon or Apocalymon for example.
Now I see why you would be a good ambassador for X, you talk toxic furry smack XD!
