Literally everyone who has pitched Summer Wars to me tries to make it out like it invalidates OWG and that is the worst way to pitch something to someone.

"Hey stop watching that thing you like because he made the exact same thing so you never have to watch this again"

Like why would you do that
Watch both so that you can enjoy the crossover art.

They have a similar premise though they both have different strengths. Digimon already comes with the whole digital world baggage, so the silly premise of the movie is a lot easier to swallow. On the other hand, while Summer Wars has to stretch pretty far to put the fate of the world in the hands of an 80 year old matriarch's family get-together, the way everyone comes together to make a stand works a lot better.

And King Kaz just edges out Flamedramon for my favorite animal mascot thing, probably because his kid is a chill dude and not Davis.

The Izzy/Koushiro's friend who they said was Willis was actually just some kid who was never mentioned again. And there's no virus, Diaboromon is just an rear end in a top hat that was born on the web out of nowhere.

I'd still recommend watching it in Japanese too. It's largely the same but the atmosphere is different. On one hand, the original is probably an overall better experience. On the other hand, the scene when Omnimon forms and it starts playing Let's Kick it Up is awesome. In the original it makes it seem like some miracle, while the dub makes it's like "oh hell yeah, let's gently caress poo poo up"

I dunno, right off the bat the american version seems more complete (as in explaining what the gently caress is Diaboromon's deal). I'll need to see the original version to see how it holds up, of course. Thanks.

Also holy poo poo, these are a fuckton of Veemons



Is he the digimon with the most variants/evolutions?

Agumon's gotta be pretty close. They've both been the main character's partner many times and have picked up a lot of cruft over the years.

There's absolutely nothing that suggests Gaossmon evolves into XW Greymon. The thing is meant to be more Blue Flare's answer to the Starmons, being the "boss" of their minor soldiers, the Bombmon like Starmon is to the Pickmons.

They barely show up in the anime of course; both of them are only featured prominently in the Super Digica Taisen arcade machines.

Also I'm not sure why that chart treats Vritramon and KaiserGreymon as Agumon evolutions instead of just being inspired by them.

At least KaiserGreymon has the Greymon name, so the lineage COULD check out in some convoluted way.

Only the male Angemon line has a mystery about their eyes going on.

Angewomon is clearly shown to have blue eyes in her Digivolution.

Male Angemon line on the flip side never show what they look like- even if you got the toy of Magna Angemon and removed the mask his eyes are blank. The closest you have is the moment before his mask forms in the anime, when he has pitch black voids for eyes.


Which who knows maybe that's what they look like!

It always bugged me that Veemon is about a quarter of the Royal Knights, but that group is kind of a patchwork already.

Something to remember is that what Digimon can evolve into what other Digimon is something that's always changing and expanding(and theoretically any Digimon can become any other one), bet you if the XW Digimon ever get given proper levels, Gaossmon will probably be able to evolve into Greymon XW, and indeed will probably be given lines connecting it to the rest of Blue Flare's Digimon as well

Several XW Digimon have already been given levels, actually. That said, the only one I can remember having an evolution line is Baalmon, who's a Perfect level that evolves from Wizarmon and evolves into the original Beelzebumon, fittingly considering he becomes the XW version in the anime. There's probably more, but I can't remember them, anyone with more knowledge of Crusader/Heroes should show it.

Oddly enough, the revival of the first card game puts XW Beelzebumon as a Perfect level himself, in spite of the original being a level higher. Amusingly, between its abilities is "When facing Lilithmon, add 600 to your attack power".

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Diablomon's explanation in the original OWG was it was just data that formed into an egg and hatched, and its destruction was the destruction of something with no moral compass, it was a child, it just ate and ate and ate to grow, and it was mentally just a child. The premise of OWG was the idea of a virus that people from around the world would band together to combat by trading information and knowledge, which Masaru is in love with as a concept, it's why the episode of Adventures that he directed was one set in the real world with little action.

Of Veemon's armor evolutions, maybe. The Egg of Kindness kind of sucks for everyone except for Armadillomon, who turns into a Chameleon for some reason.

EDIT: Whoops. Honeybeemon is from Knowledge, but I stand by my claim.

I mean that's cool and all but i would have appreciated it way more if the Burst Modes were available when the game had come out. I already beat it a while ago and completely steamrolled every final boss and optional encounter so I don't really have any motivation to go back to it.
