HAPPY SUNDAY NOTIFICATION SQUAD! Hope you enjoy this one, it was filmed before Versus Royal Knights came out but it's the release week which I think is appropriate! Have a good one
I disagree with Monmon>Apemon>Gokuwmon >Gankumon, I personally feel like it's not a good match but I do respect your opinion and attempt to put a full line to him. Otherwise great video, please bringon the Alternate Royal Knights video.
I think for Craniamon, Darknightmon is a good pre-evo for it. Sorta like a purified evolution. And it fits that skull theme with the Cranium in his name. KaiserLeomon would be a nice preevo for Duftmon. And a hella left field throw, Nanimon into gankoomon.
Darknightmon is an awesome choice, it paints Craniamon as this black knight who overcame his demons and began fighting for justice. love the idea of a member of the royal knights that started out evil.
@@awesomesofar5963 I mean, ReArise had Megidramon of the group of the Four Great Dragons regress to Guilmon that is implied to go on to become Dukemon, so, more or less happened at least.
Fun fact: in the Digimon Xros Wars manga, the royal knight Ulforceveedramon do show up as a ally to the Xros Heart team, it's heavily implied if not outright confirmed by him that he's Zeromaru because he make refference to his human partner, there's even a silhouette of V-tamer Taichi when he talk about him
I just imagined a megidramon aura coming off him when he has been angered. Love it. Now im going to headcannon that Gallantmon is so calm to keep the beast inside in check.
OmniMon: “ Do do do do do- huh?” LeopardMon: [Leopard mode; Hiding under table] OmniMon: “ LeopardMon why are you hiding?” Leopard: “ I-I made GallantMon mad…” OmniMon: “ I’ll go talk to him, maybe I can calm him down-“ GallantMon: [Radiating Digital hazard and very upset aura] OmniMon: “ Your on your own.” [Leaves]
@@aerostrafe1075 that is exactly how it looks in my head thou he would have lizard like eyeslids just like when guilmon feels an enemy digimon from tamers
It does kind of make sense that so many Royal Knights evolve from Knightmon. It's like these were the 'captains' of the different regiments defending key areas, parts or access points to Yggdrasil uplifted/elevated to mega level, and then making an organization with several other digimon who reached mega level on their own merits or journeys as the digital world expanded, to form the Royal Knights, together defending Yggdrasil.
First of all, as a mitamamon enjoyer I’d love to see that alternative royal knight vid. Also, love the idea of dynasmon evolving from a rurimon. Fits so perfectly
For Duftmon/Leopardmon I think the recent card game set you mentioned kind of hinted the Mikemon might be a line for him. Along with Mihiramon (the Tiger Deva for those going "which one?") and I thought that was pretty interesting. So I guess the Rookie in THAT lineup would probably be a Salamon since it's like....all the Cat Digimons' default rookie. The other one from the card game that gave me a thought was Gankoomon; like you mentioned SkullMeramon was hinted at but a line and is what's in the Jesmon started deck, but what I thought would be interesting was Candlemon to Meramon, instead of SkullMeramon go Volcanomon for that big BOISTEROUS nature and then to Gankoomon.
I've always seen Volcanomon as a good ultimate for gankoomon mostly because of their connection in the card game. In BT6 they both appeared for the first time in the same colour and, with the exact same effect. Then in the Jesmon structure deck they both appear again
I definitely do love hearing about the existing lines in digimon, myself as well as many other fans get most of our knowledge from the anime so learning about it from you is so awesome! A cool counterpart for the royal knights would be royal beasts, since duftmon has a beast form and they have a dragon on the team lol, so an opposite team having all beasts except one humanoid digimon would be very fun
I love this video! Honestly, I have always loved the Monmon->Hanumon->Gokumon line, but never found a good mega for it, but Gankoomon works SO well! Also, I would love to see that video idea you had where you make an Alternate Royal Knights using the Royal Knights' alternate forms or slide evos!
Of course we want to see a video on Royal Knights’ alternative forms. In fact, I’d love to see that from every group that is capable (we love branching evolutions here) lol Also, I kinda like the idea of the royal knights once being just a bunch of Veemon and Knightmon that digivolved to play a specific role lol
Great video, you could argue Gankoomon evolve so much as a martial artist that everything around him becomes a deadly weapon or that he uses his magic spirit/stand instead I really like the idea of the alter/variant Royal Knights line-up fo another day.
Alternate Royal knights forms would be great. Id like to see that. Id also like to see a custom evolution line for them though using custom art. I think you and your artists could come up with something great. Imagine a little baby omnimon based off the fusion of agumon and gabumon and he gets more and more omnimon like.
I think in Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth you could also digivolve Shakkoumon into Craniamon what I found interesting because Shakkoumon is based on a Dogu what is supposed to contain evil forces if I remember correctly, so maybe turning into Craniamon is all that evil energy sealed into Shakkoumon breaking out and turning into a new being
For Duftmon weirdly some cards in the TCG sorta imply Bastemon as a pre evo. It seems weird but it Duftmon has been stated to be partly based on Oscar from the anime 'Rose of Versailles" who is a woman that dresses like a man, so evolving from Bastemon does work as a fun option.
Whoa! I never realized how perfect of a rookie Rurimon is for Dynasmon! Like it just fits so well. I always thought it was weird the LordKnightmon (known to me first as Crusadermon) was so pink compared to Knightmon. Like theres nothing that makes me think that Knightmon is going to become super pink. A different line I like for Crusadermon is Cutemon to Sistermon Blanc to Awakened Sistermon Blanc then Crusadermon. Now idr is sistermon blanc is a champion or a rookie, but it works a champion in my head cannon so im going with that lol.
Mistymon looks so cool and I wish it got more love. Personally I also really like Ghostmon as a Rookie for Wizardmon. I'd love for Rurimon to get its own evolution family.
I LOVE the gankoomon line you chose as I was always hoping that Gokuwmon would be given a badass mega level finally!! For some reason in my head given Gankoomon’s affinity for dragons I always imagined him having a line of Shoutmon -> Shoutmon King Ver -> OmegaShoutmon -> and finally Gankoomon. It always felt satisfying for some reason
I like the idea that Gankoomon starts its line with rudimentary melee weapons and eventually trades those in for its own strength. Or better yet, you could add a bit of mysticism by saying its melee weapon becomes the Hinukan, the fire-like passion of all its battles come to life.
6:10 In the Xros Wars manga, the UlforceVeedramon of the Royal knights is actually Zeromaru, as he speaks of his past with Taichi. The events of the manga also take into consideration all first five seasons of the Anime, so the Royal Knights might include a lot of familiar faces in that continuity.
VS Royal Knights seems to imply that Salamon - Mikemon - Mihiramon - Leopardmon are their own line and I'm for it cos it not only distances Mikemon from Gatomon but it's funny that the bipedal aspect of Mikemon returns in Leopardmon but can be reverted to quadruped via Leopard Mode, also I've really been wanting to build a deck based around Mikemon and this is perfect.
I used to think Gankoomon was a Cyberdramon evolution, being in black rubber suits, and the spirit being a Milleniummon reference. After reading the lore on him a bit a few months ago I was considering maybe Nanimon should be in his line somewhere. He might also be a fusion of two mega's but I could never figure out which ones. Also you forgot Raptordramon as part of the Alphamon line, but a video on the intersection of Alphamon's lines might be needed, with Gaiomon, Ouryumon, Dorugoramon and DeathXmon all being slide megas and Gaiomon DNA digivolving with Kahazumon to make an Omnimon variant. In my personal headcannon its Alphamon, Grademon, Raptordramon, and Ryudamon. Yggrasil then kidnaps him, and fuses him with Dorugoramon and he goes all the way back down to a Dorumon. In the movie notice he is completely confused about his body, the line is new to him. Grademon is also a good bridge between Magnamon and XVeemon.
Gaiomon is related to Alphamon? Wut? That makes no sense- Gaiomon is explicitly a Greymon-species digimon, and more specifically it was originally intended to be an X-Antibody variation of BlackWarGreymon. And jogressing with Kuzuhamon- you're not talking about Next Order, are you? Admittedly, in that game you _could_ get an Alter-B by jogressing Kuzuhamon and Gaiomon, but this was likely done for story relevance as otherwise the only relationship that Gaiomon and Kuzuhamon have to Alter-B is that their plot alongside Shoma (who was possessed by Analogman) was to corrupt Zwart D and force it to evolve. I'm also hesitant because the same evolution can also be achieved by jogressing an OmegaShoutmon and Arresterdramon.
@Hyperneosonic97 dorugreymon can continue on into the Gaiomon, it's been that way since before the game. He's been a side evolution of ryudamon and dorumon since his introduction.
@@Zayelion Not really a slide evo of Alphamon, though, that's not what a Slide Evolution means. It's an alternate Mega for DORUguremon. Also, no he hasn't. DORUguremon *has only ever been able to evolve into Gaiomon in Digimon ReArise.* Even in Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory (the most recent game where both species appeared), DORUguremon _was unable_ to evolve into Gaiomon (it instead became Alphamon, DORUgoramon, Sleipmon or Breakdramon), whereas Gaiomon came from the three Greymon-type Ultimates (MetalGreymon, MetalGreymon Virus and RizeGreymon) and Hisyaryumon.
I do love you mentioned aspects of evolution vanishing and coming back, I worked that into my "Personal Partner." Line of Kuramon > Tsumemon > Tsukaimon > Devidramon > Mephistomon > Belphemon SM > Belphemon RM. I feel the line flows well into each other, but you've got the somewhat dark Mystical beast of Tsukaimon, turning into a very beastly Devidramon, turning into the more mystical Mephistomon, and having a Mega that, in a way, splits the different on mode changes. I'm also glad that Beelzemon is such a staple, or using a deadly sin would feel... weird.
Having videos like this is always nice because it´s a great mix of speculation and existing canon. Definitely hope you´ll do more videos like this, the Dark Masters and Olympos 12 ones. I would love to see you tackle the Death Generals/ "Big Death Stars" from XrosWars specifically, since I think they are cool, but overlooked group of Digimon. Though I am sure something like the Demon Lords would be more "crowd pleasing". Either way, can´t wait for more Digimon videos :D
I actually really like Dorugreymon/DORUguremon as a prevolution for Examon: Both are red dragons and both have the metallic rings/blades lining the edges of their wings. It's a really distinctive visual feature no other Digimon beyond those two have. I know Breakdramon and Slayerdramon is the "intended" prevolution(s), but I think DORUguremon makes way more visual sense and as you noted, Grademon works better as a Alphamon prevo then DORUguremon itself does.
To be fair Digimon can sometimes evolve into fusions without fusing with anyone but they'r power is reduced from that, while Grademon makes lot more sense to be Alphamon's prevo because that's it's intended prevo since day 1, but the X-evolution movie for some reason made it Dorugreymon so Bandai stuck with that, even tho Dorugreymon already has it's own intended mega with Dorugoramon...
What I like about your videos is that I'm always learning about new Digimon as more of a casual fan these days. I had never heard of Gankoomon but I do like that tree as my head canon. Yes to the video idea as well.
Once mote, great video Karn Ex! It's great to see you go into breakdowns like these of some of the various official Digivolution lines, in addition to your own personal choices to fill in those yet to be eatablished. Hearing your opinions on some of the notable aspects of these lines is also quite neat. Especially in describing the Dynasmon's line and its Digivolution from Mystimon as invoking a mire traditional midieval fantasy kind of theme, which I found myself in agreement with. With this being said best of luck to you and your team/friends, on your endeavors!
This is a good one, love the suggested changes to existing lines and entirely new ones. I think my favorites are Pawnchessmon white as the rookie to Lordknightmon and the full line for Craniamon, Mekanorimon deserves to be more than a vehicle and looks more like Andromon than Guardromon (though now I wonder should the line look more like something continually enhancing itself). Alternates for all the Royal Knights would be a cool video.
Dynasmon is my favourite royal knight. I love the idea of the OG Wizardmon's spirit returning to Witchelny after death, his sacrifice offsetting him stealing the book. He earned the respect of Hexeblaumon and was granted an evolution to Ultimate as Mistymon. When MedievalDukemon loses it and slides into Megidramon, Mistymon is granted a further evolution to help stop him. When the dust settles, Dynasmon has been able to quell the beast. Megidramon, instead of returning to MedievalDukemon is transformed into the modern Gallantmon. Both of them end up being recruited by Imperialdramon to the Royal Knights soon after.
Didn't the Royal Knights Version of Gallantmon/Dukemon canonically became Megidramon at some point during it's training but was able to regain it's senses and started training to control his emotions prior to actually becoming a Royal Knight? I remember reading that at some point or was that another story?
@@Karn_EX I'm pretty sure in Digimon Rearise during the Four Great Dragons quest line, the Megidramon in the group gets reverted back into a Guilmon due Goddramon attacking it to be put down in order to spare the Digital World. Then the Qinglongmon & Holydramon intervene citing that the power can also be used to help protect the world instead of destroying it, leading to that Megidramon/Guilmon going on to join the Royal Knights as their new Gallantmon.
For your next video do top 20 rookie digimon that deserved a full digimon line. Monmon, kumamon, bearmon, ignitemon, spadamon are a few that come to mind.
I liked the use of Mihiramon as being the stage before Duftmon in the new set. I remember when the cards were being revealed, some of us were actually wondering if they were gonna use Bastemon, since Mikemon had already been revealed for the set, and I think that'd be a really fun out-there pick, too.
Loving your videos as usual, and always happy of the Examon line(s) being acknowledged. Anyway, if these prevo for groups are doing so well, how about Demon Lords next? (As if you hadn't thought of it yet)
I think it would be cool if the alternative royal knights were underdogs in their setting, specifically the Iliad Digital World where the Olympus XII rule. It’d at least give them as a group a chance to be actually heroic rather than either stubbornly neutral or actively antagonistic.
I am actually one of those who enjoys this video because I only know about Omnimon's digivolution line and that Gallantmon is a sort of digivolution of a Digimon and their human partner. I am a recent Digimon fan, but there's just so many Digimon that it's kinda overwhelming 😅. Plus, it's cool to see your own ideas too.
Even before BT13, I've been putting Mihiramon as the ultimate for Duftmon/Leopardmon. Both are cats with wings that serve as tacticians for their respective groups. Mihiramon being in BT13 cemented that for me, with Salamon->Mikemon->Mihiramon->Duftmon seeming to be designed to work together
Definitely love the pick on Dynasmon’s rookie. I think the DarkKnightmon line making up Craniamon’s line really works more but the metallic skulls on Andromon are a cool parallel. I think GrapLeomon works well for Leopardmon’s ultimate but I feel like Mikemon would have made more sense as the Champion form as it gave up its Holy powers from its rookie (Salamon) to become more beast (this and their colors matching well with Leopardmon Leopard Mode). Honestly for Gankoomon I was a fan of Candlemon, to Meramon, to Volcamon, to Gankoomon line. Meramon since he’s all about punches with flames and Volcamon because it possesses fire and earth elements from volcano, electricity from its cyborg body, and a booming voice like thunder OR a tough father-like master would have for their pupil in training. Referencing his attack Quake! Blast! Fire! Father! Volcamon also has his volcano linked with his anger which works with Gankoomon’s other move Flipping Table in Anger! XD
Ok, Gankoomon's was my favorite evo line because you included Gokuwmon and that digimon has skyrocketed as one of my favorite digimon of all time from the moment I knew it existed! Also, I surprisingly liked that you choose Agumon as UlforceVeedramon's rooky, don't know why since I never cared much for that one RK but Agumon made that evo line much better for some reason lolol
I've always knew about Rurimon and I was very indifferent about him, but now in this context of the Dynasmon evolution line, I LOVE HIM! He now jumped to being one of my favorite rookies just because of this idea, thank you, Karn! Wizarmon is my second favorite digimon (Clockmon being the first) and I've always disliked his usual pre-evolutions, but now I feel I found one of my true soul partners haha
I've been searching for this video recently and surprised that you hadn't done it lol. Actually the thing that triggered the search was the official posting Salamon > Mikemon > Mihiramon line in one post, thus making me think that it might be Duftmon's line given all of those are Green cards. Surprised that you didn't include it.
I always says in this type of videos I support a video about ''New Royal Knights'' like ''Young Justice'': Omegashoutmon Goldrapidmon Diarbitmon Cresgarurumon Bloomlordmon Hexablaumon Miragegaogamon and some more that could be counterparts of the original RK
😂Even after you argued so passionately for Gokuwmon, SuperStarmon to Gankoomon is an digivolution i would LOVE to see. For some reason, to me they look SUPER good next to each other. Even if it's probably not true, I like to think UlforceVeedramon's Rookie is Veemon just because it's really funny to me that Veemon can, if you include their founder/inspiration Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, straight up become three different royal knights. Lil blue homeboy is just three of the Royal knights in a trench coat.
An artist I follow, Popkas, had come up with a fan-made rookie for LordKnightmon that was a bit like Biyomon and because of that I love to imagine Biyomon as the rookie.
My Gankoomon line (using Japanese names) is as follows: Mokumon->Peti Meramon->Candmon->Meramon->Death Meramon->Gankoomon. The idea is that the Digimon is constantly getting hotter and hotter, until it is so hot that it grows an entire new lifeform made from the fire, that being Hinukamuy.
Great video! I actually really enjoyed the unique lines, some of these were ones I haven't thought of myself. I often use Flamedramon and Raidramon as "Ultimates" of Magnamon with ExVeemon below them cause some games like Dawn/Dusk treat them that way, and I typically go Meramon line for Gankoomon, but the monkey line here I honestly love. I'd love a take on this but for the Demon Lords, I mean, we do have an Olympos XII one too. And an alternate Royal Knights is absolutely a welcome video, would love the hell out of that.
Had a neat idea related to the Royal Knights: What if every Royal Knight had a "force". Several members have some special game breaking ability that doesn't seem to qualify as an attack, and end in the term "force": Ulforce Veedramon's titular Ulforce that lets him rewrite and replenish his digicode to adapt to battles; Alphamon's Alpha Inforce that let's him rollback time to retry a battle; and Omegamon's Omega Inforce that let's him read ahead in a battle and adapt his tactics based on that. I think it could make for a neat video, giving them basically Stand Powers that fit and improve their current battle style.
I always used the Meramon line for Gankoomon, but you're totally right, the Monmon line also fits pretty well! For Leopardmon, I've seen him either coming from Mihiramon OR Bastemon, both coming from Mikemon and I think that really fits to reference both the normal AND leopard modes and the femininity of Bastemon could reference that apparently Leopardmon was based on a female warrior who pretended to be a man like Mulan
6:16 - 6:19 There is! In the Xros Wars Manga, when the Royal Knights show up, Ulforce mentions that he once had a human partner who saved the digital world with him, before Yggdrasil recruited him.
Love the Gankoomon evo line so much. Also for Alphamon, i recall reading a giant poster that collated the X antibody tales together and Dorumon does the normal line to Dorugreymon but then becomes Dorugoramon before DeathXmon happens. But in that state he reverts and starts again from Dorumon, going to Raptordramon then to Grademon and finally Alphamon. So i think there's two defined routes to Alpha unless what I read was wrong 😅
The Death -X data gets yanked out by Yggdrasil and sent to the layer of the future where it becomes Death-X-mon. Without the Death-X data Dorumon goes on to become Alphamon.
It makes me happy watching these videos as well as how popular digimon is getting again like there was even a reference in Jujutsu Kaisen about digivolving a agumon* to Greymon or skull greymon Gotta love auto correct
Glad you did this and I hope you do ones for the 7 deadly sins and Olympus 12. As for some comments. For the Dynasmon, I have looked into it and even the card game suggests the rookie is Tapirmon. Though, I wish it had a more human form or dragon with sword. The reason being Dynasmon' line could be seen as a parallel to Dia from Dragon Quest. He starts off as swordsman, becomes a little bit of magic user, before combining both, and finally becoming his true form a dragon knight. As far as knightmon becoming having access to three different royal knights, it is representative of real knights during medieval area. Knights either became super loyal to the state like Craniamon, obsessed with their religious and moral values like Crusadermon, or becoming commanders like Duftmon. In regards to Craniamon, I think going from Solarmon to Guardromon Gold to Giromon can be seen as fun evolutionary line considering both gold and purple are symbol of royality and Giromon is a protector the net. For Duftmon, I like the traditional which is Leomon or the card game one Mikemon. Leomon gives Duftmon more masculine version and the Mikemon gives of a more feminine version.
Small correction, Bushi Agumon would make a nice rookie for Dynasmon and still reference DragonQuest as Dai’s original name is Dino and Bushi Agumon is also a dinosaur.
It does help that the mayority of the Knights are protagonist Digimon. We have seen many of their lines develop in so many series. You don't even need one hand to count those that needed lines. God I love the Royal Knights. One of my favorite groups in media.
@@Karn_EX The ones that are missing lines were worth exploring. On unrelated note... I wanted those cards so bad. And that metal box with the art of the whole group... And the artwork itself.
Unsure if anyone has mentioned it, but personally for Magnamon a line I like using is Veemon > Flaredramon > Saggitarimon > Magnamon. A Digivolution line consisting of mainly armour evos
I always loved the idea of Impmon being Dynasmons rookie the dichotomy between the paths that little Impmon could take one leading to dynasmon and justice the other Beelzemon and greed I just love it.
9:26 I always been a fan of Next Orders Tentomon -> Kabuterimon -> MegaKabuterimon(Blue) -> Craniamon Line, colours match, and big armoured bug getting more armour kinda works. Also not many bug digimon get to be in "high" positions.
I kinda go back and forth on several of these, but aside from the orthodox lines for Omegamon, Magnamon, Dukemon, Jesmon, Sleipmon, and the full vaccine line for Alphamon (Dorumon->Raptordramon->Grademon), I also challenged myself to not use Knightmon for any of them, even though it can presumably become any of them. Vmon-Fladramon-Lighdramon-Magnamon -if you want to give it intermediate forms, you can use these, or maybe paildramon? Cutemon->Bitmon->Kyuukimon->LordKnightmon -Pink and cutty. When I'm not feeling like using Armors, I use reppamon or youkomon Bakumon->Baluchimon->Manticoremon->Dynasmon -I sometimes feel like something dragonier, like Airdramon->Gargoylemon. Maybe Betamon for a child? Penmon->Vdramon->AeroVdramon->UlforceVdramon -I like to remind people that Penmon has the chest Vs! Elecmon->Centarumon->Sagittarimon->Sleipmon -An alternate possibility for Sleipmon when I feel like using armors as perfects Kotemon->Gladimon->Giromon->Craniummon -This is actually my favorite place for Knightmon, but I think the Net Keeper fits with craniummon's deal Gazimon-Tobucatmon->Mihiramon->DuftmonLeopard Mode -Flying Cats! SkullBaluchimon also works as a perfect Dracomons->Coredramons->Wingdramon&Groundramon->Examon -I actually feel like this fits better without the separate megas, but I understand including them. Otamamon (Red)->BomberNanimon->Asuramon->Gankoomon -Fiery and punchy, I really like bombernanimon's oldmanness going into Gankoomon, and Asuramon's color scheme and horns fit well.
Karn, i really need you to do alters versions of every single group of digimons using allready existing digimons Like the royal knights, the three great angels, the masters of evil and etcs I would watch every single one
Okay, the Monmon > Hanumon > Gokuwamon> Gankoomon line is giving me life. For me though, I like to use a line for Leopardmon that emphasises the strategist idea. Especially since, if you’re not necessarily powerful, you have to be more cunning. Plus, the TCg cemented it. Salamon > Mikemon > Mihiramon > Leopardmon.
I've always liked Monodramon to Airdramon to Gigadramon as Dynasmon pre-evolutions and pawnchessmon (Black) to Skullknightmon to DarkKnightmon (with or without DeadlyAxemon) as Craniamon pre-evolutions.
I love Monmon for this line and I don't know by but my heart immediately went to Flamemon as the rookie. Sort of the bookend you did with Dynasmon. Lil man with a fiery aura to a big man with a fiery stand
I really like the idea of Bastemon being the pre-evo to Leopardmon. The feline feature is obviously there, but apparently, Leopardmon/Duftmon is based female characters from manga that masquerade as men. A female Duft seems pretty cool to me
I know you used a Leomon line for Leopardmon, but I like the idea of a Leomon line for Gankoomon as well. Gankoomon and Bancholeomon have a friendly rivalry in Cyber Slueth, and that bromance just really works for me.
I'd like to see an Alternate Royal Knights, I think it'd be interesting. Edit: I'd also like to see you're thoughts on an "Evil" version of the Royal Knights, despite the fact that the Royal Knights are already usually used as foes instead of allies.
I do like the idea of dynasmon's line having impmon, and wizardmon, almost like if wizardmon follows the path of good they become a royal knight, but if it gives into its desires it'll become beelzamon. i had an idea for a gankoomon line of, gatsumon, golemon, and volcamon
Very cool lines!!! I especially like the Gankoomon line idea. one idea I had for Craniummon was to have him evolve from DarkKnightmon and SkullKnightmon, both for the skull motif, and similar weapons, plus the idea of a black knight redeemed to become a royal knight
When I played Cyber Sleuth, I liked to create lines for my team that felt solid, and I my starter was Hagurumon, into Starmon, SuperStarmon, then Gankoomon. That was my first exposure to Gankoomon, I don't think I immediately realised it was a royal knight, but now that's my line for it. Also partly because of Cyber Sleuth, but also just... because it is clearly intended at least retrospectively, Ulforce comes from Veemon... Veevee! For Leopardmon, I really like the line that BT13 gives it; Salamon to Mikemon to Mihiramon to Leopardmon. I mean, they really should make a better cat rookie than the dog, but creating this full line out of the random individual feline Digimon is fun.

Because of the bt13 the line I use most for leopardmon is salamon to mikemon to Mihiramon then leopardmon
@@dr-milk2816yo same except I use Bastemon as the ultimate instead
I disagree with Monmon>Apemon>Gokuwmon >Gankumon, I personally feel like it's not a good match but I do respect your opinion and attempt to put a full line to him. Otherwise great video, please bringon the Alternate Royal Knights video.
@@deltaovalpanda7805 yeah the promo bastemon is really good for the deck and still fits the line can't wait for the English tcg to get those cards
One of the Legendary Skies Digimon, called Jinsihoushou, would be amazing as an Apemon Pre-evo if they ever decide to reuse them.
I think for Craniamon, Darknightmon is a good pre-evo for it. Sorta like a purified evolution. And it fits that skull theme with the Cranium in his name. KaiserLeomon would be a nice preevo for Duftmon. And a hella left field throw, Nanimon into gankoomon.
Darknightmon is an awesome choice, it paints Craniamon as this black knight who overcame his demons and began fighting for justice. love the idea of a member of the royal knights that started out evil.
Nanimon to Gankoomon is in the VPet Color. Pretty cool! I like the whole "BAD" Evos having cool megas at the end!
@@awesomesofar5963 I mean, ReArise had Megidramon of the group of the Four Great Dragons regress to Guilmon that is implied to go on to become Dukemon, so, more or less happened at least.
@@Kaldin0203 that's a sick connection as well!
Blackpawnchessmon, SkullKnightmon, DarkKnightmon and Craniunmon

Well there we go then!
It's outright confirmed in one of the suplimentary chapters that is indeed Zeromaru.
I always imagined rk gallantmon as the calmest of the royal knights who rarely gets angry but when he does everyone fears him
I just imagined a megidramon aura coming off him when he has been angered. Love it. Now im going to headcannon that Gallantmon is so calm to keep the beast inside in check.

It does kind of make sense that so many Royal Knights evolve from Knightmon. It's like these were the 'captains' of the different regiments defending key areas, parts or access points to Yggdrasil uplifted/elevated to mega level, and then making an organization with several other digimon who reached mega level on their own merits or journeys as the digital world expanded, to form the Royal Knights, together defending Yggdrasil.
Gankoomon: "I am the weapon."
Gankoomon X: "Of course, I could just use my shoes."
First of all, as a mitamamon enjoyer I’d love to see that alternative royal knight vid. Also, love the idea of dynasmon evolving from a rurimon. Fits so perfectly
Haha thank you!
For Duftmon/Leopardmon I think the recent card game set you mentioned kind of hinted the Mikemon might be a line for him. Along with Mihiramon (the Tiger Deva for those going "which one?") and I thought that was pretty interesting. So I guess the Rookie in THAT lineup would probably be a Salamon since it's like....all the Cat Digimons' default rookie. The other one from the card game that gave me a thought was Gankoomon; like you mentioned SkullMeramon was hinted at but a line and is what's in the Jesmon started deck, but what I thought would be interesting was Candlemon to Meramon, instead of SkullMeramon go Volcanomon for that big BOISTEROUS nature and then to Gankoomon.
we need the Royal Knight alternative universe video, sounds like a super fun idea and curious what you'd do with all of them
Alrighty, you got it!
You know that the Royal knight digimon only has a few at time❗❓🤔 that's because they didn't need a lot of them.
I've always seen Volcanomon as a good ultimate for gankoomon mostly because of their connection in the card game. In BT6 they both appeared for the first time in the same colour and, with the exact same effect. Then in the Jesmon structure deck they both appear again
I definitely do love hearing about the existing lines in digimon, myself as well as many other fans get most of our knowledge from the anime so learning about it from you is so awesome! A cool counterpart for the royal knights would be royal beasts, since duftmon has a beast form and they have a dragon on the team lol, so an opposite team having all beasts except one humanoid digimon would be very fun
Ooh fun idea!
A Black-Ops of digimon under Yggdradils command?
I love this video! Honestly, I have always loved the Monmon->Hanumon->Gokumon line, but never found a good mega for it, but Gankoomon works SO well! Also, I would love to see that video idea you had where you make an Alternate Royal Knights using the Royal Knights' alternate forms or slide evos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
although they look similar, i don’t think it’s a good fit. gokumon is based of the chinese monkey king while gankoomon is based of a japan game
Of course we want to see a video on Royal Knights’ alternative forms. In fact, I’d love to see that from every group that is capable (we love branching evolutions here) lol
Also, I kinda like the idea of the royal knights once being just a bunch of Veemon and Knightmon that digivolved to play a specific role lol
Great video, you could argue Gankoomon evolve so much as a martial artist that everything around him becomes a deadly weapon or that he uses his magic spirit/stand instead
I really like the idea of the alter/variant Royal Knights line-up fo another day.
Thanks! And great way of looking at it!
Will def consider the Alternate Royal Knights vid!
Alternate Royal knights forms would be great. Id like to see that. Id also like to see a custom evolution line for them though using custom art. I think you and your artists could come up with something great. Imagine a little baby omnimon based off the fusion of agumon and gabumon and he gets more and more omnimon like.
I think in Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth you could also digivolve Shakkoumon into Craniamon what I found interesting because Shakkoumon is based on a Dogu what is supposed to contain evil forces if I remember correctly, so maybe turning into Craniamon is all that evil energy sealed into Shakkoumon breaking out and turning into a new being
That's a fun idea!
Unrelated but you've become one of my favorite TH-cam channels I've found over the past couple years. Keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you so much! That means a great deal to me
For Duftmon weirdly some cards in the TCG sorta imply Bastemon as a pre evo. It seems weird but it Duftmon has been stated to be partly based on Oscar from the anime 'Rose of Versailles" who is a woman that dresses like a man, so evolving from Bastemon does work as a fun option.
mihiramon works too, tho
Would love to see a version of the alternate Royal Knights.
Whoa! I never realized how perfect of a rookie Rurimon is for Dynasmon! Like it just fits so well.
I always thought it was weird the LordKnightmon (known to me first as Crusadermon) was so pink compared to Knightmon. Like theres nothing that makes me think that Knightmon is going to become super pink.
A different line I like for Crusadermon is Cutemon to Sistermon Blanc to Awakened Sistermon Blanc then Crusadermon.
Now idr is sistermon blanc is a champion or a rookie, but it works a champion in my head cannon so im going with that lol.
Mistymon looks so cool and I wish it got more love.
Personally I also really like Ghostmon as a Rookie for Wizardmon. I'd love for Rurimon to get its own evolution family.
I LOVE the gankoomon line you chose as I was always hoping that Gokuwmon would be given a badass mega level finally!! For some reason in my head given Gankoomon’s affinity for dragons I always imagined him having a line of Shoutmon -> Shoutmon King Ver -> OmegaShoutmon -> and finally Gankoomon. It always felt satisfying for some reason
I like the idea that Gankoomon starts its line with rudimentary melee weapons and eventually trades those in for its own strength. Or better yet, you could add a bit of mysticism by saying its melee weapon becomes the Hinukan, the fire-like passion of all its battles come to life.
6:10 In the Xros Wars manga, the UlforceVeedramon of the Royal knights is actually Zeromaru, as he speaks of his past with Taichi. The events of the manga also take into consideration all first five seasons of the Anime, so the Royal Knights might include a lot of familiar faces in that continuity.
Also in chapter 22.8 it's outright confirmed that he is Zeromaru.
VS Royal Knights seems to imply that Salamon - Mikemon - Mihiramon - Leopardmon are their own line and I'm for it cos it not only distances Mikemon from Gatomon but it's funny that the bipedal aspect of Mikemon returns in Leopardmon but can be reverted to quadruped via Leopard Mode, also I've really been wanting to build a deck based around Mikemon and this is perfect.
Definitely a fun pick yeah!
I used to think Gankoomon was a Cyberdramon evolution, being in black rubber suits, and the spirit being a Milleniummon reference. After reading the lore on him a bit a few months ago I was considering maybe Nanimon should be in his line somewhere. He might also be a fusion of two mega's but I could never figure out which ones.
Also you forgot Raptordramon as part of the Alphamon line, but a video on the intersection of Alphamon's lines might be needed, with Gaiomon, Ouryumon, Dorugoramon and DeathXmon all being slide megas and Gaiomon DNA digivolving with Kahazumon to make an Omnimon variant.
In my personal headcannon its Alphamon, Grademon, Raptordramon, and Ryudamon. Yggrasil then kidnaps him, and fuses him with Dorugoramon and he goes all the way back down to a Dorumon. In the movie notice he is completely confused about his body, the line is new to him.
Grademon is also a good bridge between Magnamon and XVeemon.
Gaiomon is related to Alphamon? Wut? That makes no sense- Gaiomon is explicitly a Greymon-species digimon, and more specifically it was originally intended to be an X-Antibody variation of BlackWarGreymon.
And jogressing with Kuzuhamon- you're not talking about Next Order, are you? Admittedly, in that game you _could_ get an Alter-B by jogressing Kuzuhamon and Gaiomon, but this was likely done for story relevance as otherwise the only relationship that Gaiomon and Kuzuhamon have to Alter-B is that their plot alongside Shoma (who was possessed by Analogman) was to corrupt Zwart D and force it to evolve.
I'm also hesitant because the same evolution can also be achieved by jogressing an OmegaShoutmon and Arresterdramon.
@Hyperneosonic97 dorugreymon can continue on into the Gaiomon, it's been that way since before the game. He's been a side evolution of ryudamon and dorumon since his introduction.
@@Zayelion Not really a slide evo of Alphamon, though, that's not what a Slide Evolution means. It's an alternate Mega for DORUguremon.
Also, no he hasn't. DORUguremon *has only ever been able to evolve into Gaiomon in Digimon ReArise.* Even in Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory (the most recent game where both species appeared), DORUguremon _was unable_ to evolve into Gaiomon (it instead became Alphamon, DORUgoramon, Sleipmon or Breakdramon), whereas Gaiomon came from the three Greymon-type Ultimates (MetalGreymon, MetalGreymon Virus and RizeGreymon) and Hisyaryumon.
I do love you mentioned aspects of evolution vanishing and coming back, I worked that into my "Personal Partner." Line of Kuramon > Tsumemon > Tsukaimon > Devidramon > Mephistomon > Belphemon SM > Belphemon RM. I feel the line flows well into each other, but you've got the somewhat dark Mystical beast of Tsukaimon, turning into a very beastly Devidramon, turning into the more mystical Mephistomon, and having a Mega that, in a way, splits the different on mode changes. I'm also glad that Beelzemon is such a staple, or using a deadly sin would feel... weird.
I love your picks for the Dynasmon and Gankoomon lines! I love your idea for an alternate version of Royal Knights too. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
7:42 *YES* I would absolute love to see this, I have always loved Digimon's approach towards alternate forms for mons
Having videos like this is always nice because it´s a great mix of speculation and existing canon. Definitely hope you´ll do more videos like this, the Dark Masters and Olympos 12 ones. I would love to see you tackle the Death Generals/ "Big Death Stars" from XrosWars specifically, since I think they are cool, but overlooked group of Digimon. Though I am sure something like the Demon Lords would be more "crowd pleasing".
Either way, can´t wait for more Digimon videos :D
I actually really like Dorugreymon/DORUguremon as a prevolution for Examon: Both are red dragons and both have the metallic rings/blades lining the edges of their wings. It's a really distinctive visual feature no other Digimon beyond those two have. I know Breakdramon and Slayerdramon is the "intended" prevolution(s), but I think DORUguremon makes way more visual sense and as you noted, Grademon works better as a Alphamon prevo then DORUguremon itself does.
To be fair Digimon can sometimes evolve into fusions without fusing with anyone but they'r power is reduced from that, while Grademon makes lot more sense to be Alphamon's prevo because that's it's intended prevo since day 1, but the X-evolution movie for some reason made it Dorugreymon so Bandai stuck with that, even tho Dorugreymon already has it's own intended mega with Dorugoramon...
Dynasmon's line is just sooo good, rurimon for the rookie was genius
Thank you!
Absolutely love your videos. So informative yet so fun and entertaining, especially for big Digimon fans.
What I like about your videos is that I'm always learning about new Digimon as more of a casual fan these days. I had never heard of Gankoomon but I do like that tree as my head canon. Yes to the video idea as well.
Glad to hear it!
Alternative Royal Knights sounds awesome
Once mote, great video Karn Ex! It's great to see you go into breakdowns like these of some of the various official Digivolution lines, in addition to your own personal choices to fill in those yet to be eatablished. Hearing your opinions on some of the notable aspects of these lines is also quite neat. Especially in describing the Dynasmon's line and its Digivolution from Mystimon as invoking a mire traditional midieval fantasy kind of theme, which I found myself in agreement with. With this being said best of luck to you and your team/friends, on your endeavors!
I always love hearing about the factions within digimon content and their evo lines.
Thanks for all the content Karn Ex
Omegamon was the hardest to figure out, thanks for clearing it out of the way!
😂
This is a good one, love the suggested changes to existing lines and entirely new ones. I think my favorites are Pawnchessmon white as the rookie to Lordknightmon and the full line for Craniamon, Mekanorimon deserves to be more than a vehicle and looks more like Andromon than Guardromon (though now I wonder should the line look more like something continually enhancing itself). Alternates for all the Royal Knights would be a cool video.
Dynasmon is my favourite royal knight.
I love the idea of the OG Wizardmon's spirit returning to Witchelny after death, his sacrifice offsetting him stealing the book. He earned the respect of Hexeblaumon and was granted an evolution to Ultimate as Mistymon.
When MedievalDukemon loses it and slides into Megidramon, Mistymon is granted a further evolution to help stop him. When the dust settles, Dynasmon has been able to quell the beast. Megidramon, instead of returning to MedievalDukemon is transformed into the modern Gallantmon.
Both of them end up being recruited by Imperialdramon to the Royal Knights soon after.
Bro I’m so glad you picked the sungoku line, that’s as my first thought as well. Hell yeah!
Thanks!
Didn't the Royal Knights Version of Gallantmon/Dukemon canonically became Megidramon at some point during it's training but was able to regain it's senses and started training to control his emotions prior to actually becoming a Royal Knight? I remember reading that at some point or was that another story?
It very well could have yeah, I couldn't find source on it either but it feels correct which is why I kept it haha
@@Karn_EX I'm pretty sure in Digimon Rearise during the Four Great Dragons quest line, the Megidramon in the group gets reverted back into a Guilmon due Goddramon attacking it to be put down in order to spare the Digital World. Then the Qinglongmon & Holydramon intervene citing that the power can also be used to help protect the world instead of destroying it, leading to that Megidramon/Guilmon going on to join the Royal Knights as their new Gallantmon.
For your next video do top 20 rookie digimon that deserved a full digimon line. Monmon, kumamon, bearmon, ignitemon, spadamon are a few that come to mind.
I liked the use of Mihiramon as being the stage before Duftmon in the new set. I remember when the cards were being revealed, some of us were actually wondering if they were gonna use Bastemon, since Mikemon had already been revealed for the set, and I think that'd be a really fun out-there pick, too.
I also like Bastemon due to Leopard theme
And since Leopardmon is based on female knight
Loving your videos as usual, and always happy of the Examon line(s) being acknowledged. Anyway, if these prevo for groups are doing so well, how about Demon Lords next? (As if you hadn't thought of it yet)
I feel like DarkKnightmon and SkullKnightmon, and PawnChessmon Black might make for good Craniamon preevos
Oh for sure
I'd love to see the alter/side versions of the royal knights!...Keep up the great work karn
Thanks! Will do!
I think it would be cool if the alternative royal knights were underdogs in their setting, specifically the Iliad Digital World where the Olympus XII rule. It’d at least give them as a group a chance to be actually heroic rather than either stubbornly neutral or actively antagonistic.
I try to not watch videos on fan creations or theories but I enjoy yours. Keep up the great content!
I appreciate that!
I am actually one of those who enjoys this video because I only know about Omnimon's digivolution line and that Gallantmon is a sort of digivolution of a Digimon and their human partner. I am a recent Digimon fan, but there's just so many Digimon that it's kinda overwhelming 😅. Plus, it's cool to see your own ideas too.
Well you're very welcome here and I'm very glad you like these kinds of videos!
Fantastic! I'd love to hear a video on some summaries of the Royal Knights lore!
Even before BT13, I've been putting Mihiramon as the ultimate for Duftmon/Leopardmon. Both are cats with wings that serve as tacticians for their respective groups. Mihiramon being in BT13 cemented that for me, with Salamon->Mikemon->Mihiramon->Duftmon seeming to be designed to work together
Definitely love the pick on Dynasmon’s rookie. I think the DarkKnightmon line making up Craniamon’s line really works more but the metallic skulls on Andromon are a cool parallel. I think GrapLeomon works well for Leopardmon’s ultimate but I feel like Mikemon would have made more sense as the Champion form as it gave up its Holy powers from its rookie (Salamon) to become more beast (this and their colors matching well with Leopardmon Leopard Mode).
Honestly for Gankoomon I was a fan of Candlemon, to Meramon, to Volcamon, to Gankoomon line. Meramon since he’s all about punches with flames and Volcamon because it possesses fire and earth elements from volcano, electricity from its cyborg body, and a booming voice like thunder OR a tough father-like master would have for their pupil in training. Referencing his attack Quake! Blast! Fire! Father! Volcamon also has his volcano linked with his anger which works with Gankoomon’s other move Flipping Table in Anger! XD
Sweet, love when you do theory crafting videos like this
Thank you!
Yes! Yes, it's a good video idea. Alternate forms of Royal Knights is cool just to see the extra forms.
Ok, Gankoomon's was my favorite evo line because you included Gokuwmon and that digimon has skyrocketed as one of my favorite digimon of all time from the moment I knew it existed!
Also, I surprisingly liked that you choose Agumon as UlforceVeedramon's rooky, don't know why since I never cared much for that one RK but Agumon made that evo line much better for some reason lolol
I’d love to see this for the Olympus 12. I find that group a lot more exciting and I think it was said that the next story games will focus on them
But Karn did one for the Olympus already
I've always knew about Rurimon and I was very indifferent about him, but now in this context of the Dynasmon evolution line, I LOVE HIM!
He now jumped to being one of my favorite rookies just because of this idea, thank you, Karn!
Wizarmon is my second favorite digimon (Clockmon being the first) and I've always disliked his usual pre-evolutions, but now I feel I found one of my true soul partners haha
I've been searching for this video recently and surprised that you hadn't done it lol. Actually the thing that triggered the search was the official posting Salamon > Mikemon > Mihiramon line in one post, thus making me think that it might be Duftmon's line given all of those are Green cards. Surprised that you didn't include it.
Another fun video, Karn. Thanks for helping my work shift go by a little faster.
Glad to hear that Brandon, thanks so much!
grademon also works based on the lore. Alphamon has the seiken grade alpha sword which is an upgraded version of grademon's swords souken grade alpha
There we go!
Alternative royal knights video? Seems like a good idea.
I always says in this type of videos I support a video about ''New Royal Knights'' like ''Young Justice'':
Omegashoutmon
Goldrapidmon
Diarbitmon
Cresgarurumon
Bloomlordmon
Hexablaumon
Miragegaogamon
and some more that could be counterparts of the original RK
😂Even after you argued so passionately for Gokuwmon, SuperStarmon to Gankoomon is an digivolution i would LOVE to see. For some reason, to me they look SUPER good next to each other.
Even if it's probably not true, I like to think UlforceVeedramon's Rookie is Veemon just because it's really funny to me that Veemon can, if you include their founder/inspiration Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, straight up become three different royal knights. Lil blue homeboy is just three of the Royal knights in a trench coat.
yeah, we like evolution lines videos
Glad to hear that!
An artist I follow, Popkas, had come up with a fan-made rookie for LordKnightmon that was a bit like Biyomon and because of that I love to imagine Biyomon as the rookie.
I really love the Gankoomon line you came up with.
Thanks!
My Gankoomon line (using Japanese names) is as follows:
Mokumon->Peti Meramon->Candmon->Meramon->Death Meramon->Gankoomon.
The idea is that the Digimon is constantly getting hotter and hotter, until it is so hot that it grows an entire new lifeform made from the fire, that being Hinukamuy.
Great video! I actually really enjoyed the unique lines, some of these were ones I haven't thought of myself. I often use Flamedramon and Raidramon as "Ultimates" of Magnamon with ExVeemon below them cause some games like Dawn/Dusk treat them that way, and I typically go Meramon line for Gankoomon, but the monkey line here I honestly love. I'd love a take on this but for the Demon Lords, I mean, we do have an Olympos XII one too. And an alternate Royal Knights is absolutely a welcome video, would love the hell out of that.
The TCG has given leopardmon a new evo line going from salamon to mikemon to mihiramon to leopardmon.
Had a neat idea related to the Royal Knights: What if every Royal Knight had a "force". Several members have some special game breaking ability that doesn't seem to qualify as an attack, and end in the term "force": Ulforce Veedramon's titular Ulforce that lets him rewrite and replenish his digicode to adapt to battles; Alphamon's Alpha Inforce that let's him rollback time to retry a battle; and Omegamon's Omega Inforce that let's him read ahead in a battle and adapt his tactics based on that.
I think it could make for a neat video, giving them basically Stand Powers that fit and improve their current battle style.
love this. also def reconfirmed some of my head cannons
I always used the Meramon line for Gankoomon, but you're totally right, the Monmon line also fits pretty well!
For Leopardmon, I've seen him either coming from Mihiramon OR Bastemon, both coming from Mikemon and I think that really fits to reference both the normal AND leopard modes and the femininity of Bastemon could reference that apparently Leopardmon was based on a female warrior who pretended to be a man like Mulan
6:16 - 6:19 There is! In the Xros Wars Manga, when the Royal Knights show up, Ulforce mentions that he once had a human partner who saved the digital world with him, before Yggdrasil recruited him.
Great video like always Karn 😁 I’ve been wondering did you finish the armor evolution fixes?
I would love to see a video about a Royal knights group made out of Alternate forms of them
Love the Gankoomon evo line so much. Also for Alphamon, i recall reading a giant poster that collated the X antibody tales together and Dorumon does the normal line to Dorugreymon but then becomes Dorugoramon before DeathXmon happens. But in that state he reverts and starts again from Dorumon, going to Raptordramon then to Grademon and finally Alphamon. So i think there's two defined routes to Alpha unless what I read was wrong 😅
The Death -X data gets yanked out by Yggdrasil and sent to the layer of the future where it becomes Death-X-mon. Without the Death-X data Dorumon goes on to become Alphamon.
Yes on your idea of alternative Royal Knights !
It makes me happy watching these videos as well as how popular digimon is getting again like there was even a reference in Jujutsu Kaisen about digivolving a agumon* to Greymon or skull greymon
Gotta love auto correct
Glad you did this and I hope you do ones for the 7 deadly sins and Olympus 12. As for some comments. For the Dynasmon, I have looked into it and even the card game suggests the rookie is Tapirmon. Though, I wish it had a more human form or dragon with sword. The reason being Dynasmon' line could be seen as a parallel to Dia from Dragon Quest. He starts off as swordsman, becomes a little bit of magic user, before combining both, and finally becoming his true form a dragon knight. As far as knightmon becoming having access to three different royal knights, it is representative of real knights during medieval area. Knights either became super loyal to the state like Craniamon, obsessed with their religious and moral values like Crusadermon, or becoming commanders like Duftmon. In regards to Craniamon, I think going from Solarmon to Guardromon Gold to Giromon can be seen as fun evolutionary line considering both gold and purple are symbol of royality and Giromon is a protector the net. For Duftmon, I like the traditional which is Leomon or the card game one Mikemon. Leomon gives Duftmon more masculine version and the Mikemon gives of a more feminine version.
Small correction, Bushi Agumon would make a nice rookie for Dynasmon and still reference DragonQuest as Dai’s original name is Dino and Bushi Agumon is also a dinosaur.
It does help that the mayority of the Knights are protagonist Digimon. We have seen many of their lines develop in so many series. You don't even need one hand to count those that needed lines.
God I love the Royal Knights. One of my favorite groups in media.
For sure, that's why I've been hesitant to cover their lines haha
@@Karn_EX The ones that are missing lines were worth exploring.
On unrelated note... I wanted those cards so bad. And that metal box with the art of the whole group... And the artwork itself.
YES to alternate Royal Knights vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Unsure if anyone has mentioned it, but personally for Magnamon a line I like using is Veemon > Flaredramon > Saggitarimon > Magnamon. A Digivolution line consisting of mainly armour evos
also, for alphamon I gor for the manga one: Dorumon>reptiledramp>grademon>alphamon
I would love an episode on the royal nights slide evolutions or alternate forms. Loved the vid good work😊
I always loved the idea of Impmon being Dynasmons rookie the dichotomy between the paths that little Impmon could take one leading to dynasmon and justice the other Beelzemon and greed I just love it.
9:26 I always been a fan of Next Orders Tentomon -> Kabuterimon -> MegaKabuterimon(Blue) -> Craniamon Line, colours match, and big armoured bug getting more armour kinda works. Also not many bug digimon get to be in "high" positions.
I kinda go back and forth on several of these, but aside from the orthodox lines for Omegamon, Magnamon, Dukemon, Jesmon, Sleipmon, and the full vaccine line for Alphamon (Dorumon->Raptordramon->Grademon), I also challenged myself to not use Knightmon for any of them, even though it can presumably become any of them.
Vmon-Fladramon-Lighdramon-Magnamon
-if you want to give it intermediate forms, you can use these, or maybe paildramon?
Cutemon->Bitmon->Kyuukimon->LordKnightmon
-Pink and cutty. When I'm not feeling like using Armors, I use reppamon or youkomon
Bakumon->Baluchimon->Manticoremon->Dynasmon
-I sometimes feel like something dragonier, like Airdramon->Gargoylemon. Maybe Betamon for a child?
Penmon->Vdramon->AeroVdramon->UlforceVdramon
-I like to remind people that Penmon has the chest Vs!
Elecmon->Centarumon->Sagittarimon->Sleipmon
-An alternate possibility for Sleipmon when I feel like using armors as perfects
Kotemon->Gladimon->Giromon->Craniummon
-This is actually my favorite place for Knightmon, but I think the Net Keeper fits with craniummon's deal
Gazimon-Tobucatmon->Mihiramon->DuftmonLeopard Mode
-Flying Cats! SkullBaluchimon also works as a perfect
Dracomons->Coredramons->Wingdramon&Groundramon->Examon
-I actually feel like this fits better without the separate megas, but I understand including them.
Otamamon (Red)->BomberNanimon->Asuramon->Gankoomon
-Fiery and punchy, I really like bombernanimon's oldmanness going into Gankoomon, and Asuramon's color scheme and horns fit well.
Karn, i really need you to do alters versions of every single group of digimons using allready existing digimons
Like the royal knights, the three great angels, the masters of evil and etcs
I would watch every single one
Okay, the Monmon > Hanumon > Gokuwamon> Gankoomon line is giving me life.
For me though, I like to use a line for Leopardmon that emphasises the strategist idea. Especially since, if you’re not necessarily powerful, you have to be more cunning.
Plus, the TCg cemented it.
Salamon > Mikemon > Mihiramon > Leopardmon.
I've always liked Monodramon to Airdramon to Gigadramon as Dynasmon pre-evolutions and pawnchessmon (Black) to Skullknightmon to DarkKnightmon (with or without DeadlyAxemon) as Craniamon pre-evolutions.
I love Monmon for this line and I don't know by but my heart immediately went to Flamemon as the rookie. Sort of the bookend you did with Dynasmon. Lil man with a fiery aura to a big man with a fiery stand
I really like the idea of Bastemon being the pre-evo to Leopardmon. The feline feature is obviously there, but apparently, Leopardmon/Duftmon is based female characters from manga that masquerade as men. A female Duft seems pretty cool to me
I know you used a Leomon line for Leopardmon, but I like the idea of a Leomon line for Gankoomon as well. Gankoomon and Bancholeomon have a friendly rivalry in Cyber Slueth, and that bromance just really works for me.
Royal Knights alternate/slide evos? Absolutely yes, please.
I'd like to see an Alternate Royal Knights, I think it'd be interesting.
Edit: I'd also like to see you're thoughts on an "Evil" version of the Royal Knights, despite the fact that the Royal Knights are already usually used as foes instead of allies.
With all of these digivolution line videos, it'd be fun to see you react to viewers' custom lines
I do like the idea of dynasmon's line having impmon, and wizardmon, almost like if wizardmon follows the path of good they become a royal knight, but if it gives into its desires it'll become beelzamon. i had an idea for a gankoomon line of, gatsumon, golemon, and volcamon
Very cool lines!!! I especially like the Gankoomon line idea. one idea I had for Craniummon was to have him evolve from DarkKnightmon and SkullKnightmon, both for the skull motif, and similar weapons, plus the idea of a black knight redeemed to become a royal knight
When I played Cyber Sleuth, I liked to create lines for my team that felt solid, and I my starter was Hagurumon, into Starmon, SuperStarmon, then Gankoomon. That was my first exposure to Gankoomon, I don't think I immediately realised it was a royal knight, but now that's my line for it.
Also partly because of Cyber Sleuth, but also just... because it is clearly intended at least retrospectively, Ulforce comes from Veemon... Veevee!
For Leopardmon, I really like the line that BT13 gives it; Salamon to Mikemon to Mihiramon to Leopardmon. I mean, they really should make a better cat rookie than the dog, but creating this full line out of the random individual feline Digimon is fun.
