A lot of Adventure: expects you to have watched Adventure already. The opening shows the entirety of Agumon's line, we saw Omegamon as early as episode 2, Hikari and Tailmon are in the opening. It's clear that the series is meant to be watched by us who already watched Adventure so there's no point in hiding what you know will happen.

And as is the current fashion for all major anime/VG IP reboots, we'll discover that Adventure 2020 is really a time loop and Hikari being the deus ex machina character will recover memories from the previous iteration to win the day.

I like how MarineKimeramon continues the tradition of Kimeramon having a useless part from a Perfect-Level Digimon in having Zudomon's tail, just like MetalGreymon's hair.

MetalGreymon's hair was the most important part, that's why Ken said it last with a crapton of gravitas as the series made this point absolutely clear. I'm sure it's the same situation here and Zudomon's tail will make all the difference.

Well, we know the Digimon were involved in an ancient war thanks to character profiles, and people have already imagined this ancient war was really the events of Adventure and for some reason everything got rebooted...again, but this time with the humans involved.

I mean, I don't think that's what's happening, but it'd be absolutely hilarious from a meta perspective. Adventure: coming into existence so Tri and Last Evolution don't.

Sunalizamon would be correct if we weren't dealing with a franchise that's been consistently terrible at romanizing names. This is, however, exactly that kind of franchise, and the official romanization is Sunarizamon - even though both Digimon that had "-lizamon" in their name before had it properly romanized. Digimon romanizations are neither good nor consistent!

On that note, Sunarizamon, Gogmamon and Baboongamon were all added to the Digimon Reference Book. Wikimon already has the first one translated:

Also people have been working hard on deciphering MarineChimeramon, and apparently it follows the same pattern as the original Chimeramon: 8 Adults, 2 Perfects.
https://twitter.com/Digielegidos/status/1269814903621193729

Ikkakumon's head, Coelamon's helmet, Whamon's shell, Rukamon's fins, Octomon's horns, Gesomon's tentacles, Ebidramon's left arm, Hangyomon's right arm, Seadramon's body and Zudomon's tail (though this one changes a lot, going from what seems to be fur in Zudomon to a much more menacing tentacle-like form here)

so when do we get marinemelleniummon?

We need MarineMugendramon first and I'm not even sure what that would be made out of. Metal and GigaSeadramon are obvious but aftewards I'm not sure what water mecha Digimon it could use.

Also hey, another Terriermon Assistant story!

We need a game starring Agumon-hakase and Terriermon Assistant. You play as a daring young assistant, assigned to do all these outlandish research tasks by your boss. What�s that, Professor? Capture a Millenniumon in a glass aquarium? Well golly gee willickers that sure is a task.

Profiles for the new Deep Savers.

quote:

Sangomon
A Mollusk Digimon that lives in the shallows of the Net Ocean. It often gets along with other species due to the fact that it has a gentle disposition and is cheerful. It uses the backs of Shellmon as a resting place, and Ganimon have been witnessed trimming the coral protruding from its head.

When attacked by intruders, it spreads a lachrymatory poisonous mist from its coral and escapes (Refuge Mist), and fights back with its "Coral Pressure", which releases high-pressure water from the ends of its arms, as it is escaping.

quote:

MarineChimairamon
A Composite Digimon that was created by putting together the parts of various Aquatic Digimon. It is thought to have been produced using the same technology as Chimairamon, but other than that, it is a complete mystery. It appears out of nowhere like a gust of wind, bringing devastation to ecosystems with its terrifying destructive impulses, and then disappears somewhere else.

Its Special Moves are generating a large whirlpool by rapidly spinning its whole body (Poseidon Vortex), and vaporizing its surroundings with a large amount of energy released from the tip of its horn (Aqua Viper).

quote:

Tobiumon
An Aquatic Digimon that corners its targeted prey at high speed. Its oddly developed fins allow it to fly, and its large arms enable it to move on the ground. It holds the alias of "Hunter Fish" due to the fact that it brings down its targets regardless of whether they are on land, in the sea, or in the air.

After it slows down the movements of its prey with its "Suckerfish Darts", organic missiles fired from its abdomen, it finishes them off with its "Flying Finish", where it unleashes a high-speed slash attack with its sharp fins.

quote:

Gusokumon
A Crustacean Digimon that lurks at the bottom of the ocean to the point where light does not reach. It is also known as a long-lived Digimon capable of long-term biological activity using a small amount of energy. It turns weak, injured Digimon that occasionally sink to the bottom of the ocean into its prey. It barely ever moves on its own accord.

In addition to fighting back against intruders with the sharp "Brunt Claws" on its forelimbs as they draw near, when facing a large number of enemies, it defends itself by firing countless "Colony Torpedoes", small fish-shaped biological weapons, from its back. Although the underwater speed of these biological weapons is slow, they have a nature similar to mines in that they trigger a huge explosion on contact.

quote:

Piranimon
A ferocious Digimon that acts in large schools. The exoskeleton covering its head amplifies the power of its jaws so that it can reliably bring down the enemy with its sharp fangs. That power is said to be equivalent to the force of a Mammon trampling with its feet.

After it drags its target underwater using its "Cruel Invite", where it impales them with its caudal fin, which is sharpened like a fish hook, it punctures the body of its prey with "Calamity Vise", in which it rapidly oscillates as it gnaws through them, killing them. Since it attacks a single Digimon in schools, not a scrap of data is left behind after being assaulted by Piranimon.

quote:

Regalecusmon
A pirate, it is also the ruler of the deep sea that stands at the apex of the food chain due to its overwhelming power. Its sword, made after tearing off a Zudomon's horn, and the giant pincer on its left arm, are symbols of awe which strike fear into those who see them.

Its Special Moves are piercing the enemy using the sword in its right hand along with a flash of lightning (Briona Strike), and blowing away everything around it, including seawater, with plasma discharged from its pincer (Reactor Discharge).

The entire Lunamon line is really good, even if it does fall into the usual "Mega is just a sexy lady in a costume" trap. Lunamon itself has excellent classic "cute Child" energy without going overboard, and Lekismon and Crescemon are some of my favorite designs ever. They're just the right level of complex without being too visually busy.

Edit: Even if it Lekismon feels more like a Perfect and Crescemon feels more like a Mega, giving this impression that there's another Adult wedged between that got dropped at some point.

I dunno I'd say Dianamon is more than that, for one thing she's completely covered, so you actually have no idea how human underneath she'd actually look, to me she falls under the same category as guys like Omegamon where they're humanoid in body shape, but not necessarily actually human looking

Seeing how it's a ReArise Digimon, it's likely it's following HeavyLeomon's steps and serves as a Mega for one of the protagonists - in this case, Mitamamon is almost definitely a new Mega for Kudamon.
