RustTyrannomon is a virus type, so I personally don't think it will unless they re-categorize it.

And annoyingly Chimeramon is a data type so we that may get in the way of my hoped for Deltamon-Chimeramon-Mugendramon line.

As for Tyranomon they can go Master Tyrano-DinoRexmon if they want to.

Gigadramon could fit that line, though I guess it would lose the theme of them all being amalgamations.

I guess DinoRexmon is an option, yeah. I think it goes MasterTyrannomon regardless of what the Mega is.

MasterTyrannomon is Vaccine (edit: in the reference book, but it's Data in World), so I'm thinking Triceramon is the Data perfect.

Regarding Deltamon, it is in the game, but you cannot see it's health bar to know if it's enemy or player. Since it seems to be attacking Falcomon it may be a recruitable and not an Agumon form.

I mean, I guess? The problem is, what's the point of choosing Tyrannomon for the Adult stage if you aren't going to go down the Tyrannomon line beyond that?

Tyranomon is part of the very first batch of Digimon in the entire franchise, much like Agumon and Greymon, and has been the face of the franchise for the 20th anniversary. It has significant value for the franchise outside of being a Tyranomon. It's also very physically similar to Agumon, even as a child I thought it was a logical evolution (admittedly influenced by getting it in Digimon World, but still).

Tyranomon > Triceramon > (a bunch of different possibilities) also gives a pretty direct dinosaur line with no random changes.

It could still do that. :shrug:

I'm just making assumptions based on the Karma system mapping to specific attributes. If Harmony=Data and the champion is a Data type shouldn't the Perfect and Mega be Data as well?

I feel like this is all the more reason not to just include Tyrannomon as a single stage. It's BECAUSE Tyrannomon is important to the franchise that they should go down a dedicated Tyrannomon line.

Yeah, it's reasonable. I dunno, I'm probably making this out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.

I'm more worried about the Virus line being the Vaccine line but blue/black instead of something genuinely cool (SkullGreymon and Mugendramon both canonically come from Agumon, don't waste that!) than about the Data line being or not being a bunch of Tyranomons to be perfectly honest.

I'm concerned about both, but more resigned to the Virus line just being the Blue/Black Vaccine line.

BlackTyrannomon is a possible virus type evolution, although I’d expect Greymon (Virus) before that

Kinda hoping DarkTyrannomon-MetalTyrannomon-Mugendramon.

Sleeping Sigma posted:

Edit: Nevermind, the image Onkei translated shows green is Harmony, red is Morality(weird), and yellow is Rage. I wonder if the position of the choices will always map to the position each karma is on the compass? Top choice is like "we should run away" and left is "let's wait and see".

In the original TCG, Battle Type A was Red, B was Green, and C was Yellow, which mapped initially to vaccine-data-virus in that order (but that broke down after the first few sets), so that might be the association.

If we weren't getting Guilmon as the pre-order bonus I would have been pulling for Growlmon->WarGrowlmon->Megidramon for the virus line despite being ridiculously unlikely.

If machinedramon is the virus mega they're definitely doing skullgreymon as the ultimate, double definitely if the virus alignment is "rage"

i think i said it before, but my hopes are on azulongmon for the data mega

Assuming no new Digimon (please new Digimon) I'd guess something like:

Greymon - Metal Greymon - War Greymon (bog standard)
Tyrannomon - Master Tyrannomon - Dinorexmon (Dinosaurs!)
Deltamon or Tuskmon - Skull Greymon - Mugendramon (Dinosaur into iconic baddie Digimon)

Takato is smart enough to realize most all of the lore in the profiles for various Digimon that talks about how strong they are is a giant pile of contradictory nonsense that should mostly be ignored by any sane person

Adventure 20 Koushirou also says he spends a lot of time on forums, and three of the four initial protagonists of Appmon are an SNS savvy idol, a big-name YouTuber, and a shut-in hacker, I guarantee you that Eri, Astra, and Rei spent a decent amount of time on forums. As for Ghost Game all three of the human leads (and Jellymon) are forumites considering Hiro also explicitly says he spends a lot of time on urban legend blogs and forums to try and keep up with Digimon problems.

Speaking of Ghost Game 29: Hell Yeah! That was a real good debut episode for Thetismon, and despite being such an incredible dweeb the episode was great for showing Kiyoshiro at his best and his gooniest. I really have to applaud the episode also for it being regular frantic loser Kiyoshiro who saves the day rather than temporarily cool Kiyoshiro, and I also like how having way more reliable and competent friends who are inspiring him is the reason he pushed through the end there. Character development!

Relatedly, episode summaries for the next couple weeks:

Episode 30- Bad Influence (June 19)
ExTyranomon and WaruMonzaemon suddenly appear before Kayono Aramaki, a junior high school student who's been skipping school. The two cozy up towards Kayono, asking to play. At first, Kayono is confused, but gradually warms up to them when they turn Kayono's nagging father and homeroom teacher into dolls. As their friendship grows, ExTyranomon and WaruMonzaemon also grow in stature. Kayono's childhood friend, Aoi, visits Kayono's home, but Aoi is also turned into a doll. Ruli gets worried when she suddenly can't get in contact with Aoi, and contacts Hiro to begin a search for Aoi. They find a suspicious Hologram Ghost shaped like a yellow bear and follow it. Meanwhile, Kayono, accompanied by ExTyranomon and WaruMonzaemon, wander through the town, changing people they pass in the streets and people in the park into dolls. They begin to play a cruel game with the dolls.


Episode 31- Tsujigiri (June 26)
A "tsujigiri Digimon" appears, attacking both humans and Digimon left and right with an eerie sword in hand. On the very night that Angoramon learns about it, he runs into the tsujigiri Digimon by pure coincidence. But the truth was that the Digimon wasn't the culprit; whoever holds the sword gets changed into a tsujigiri. When Angoramon touches the sword, he is driven by the urge to slay someone. Will Angoramon be transformed into the dread tsujigiri Digimon?! [Tsujigiri is the practice of when a samurai gets a new weapon or technique, would test it out, often on a random passerby.]


Episode 32- Who Are You (July 3)
The peaceful everyday routine of Hiro's partner Gammamon is slowly disrupted. He's stood up by his friend Gotsumon and Hiro says he saw him in a place where he wasn't supposed to be. Then one day, when he returns to Hiro's room after a day out, he finds another Gammamon there. "I'm Gammamon!" he claims, but neither Hiro, Ruli, or Kiyoshiro believe him. They think the other Gammamon is the real Gammamon. Having lost the place he belongs, Gammamon wanders around in sorrow... The other Gammamon is Betsumon in disguise, whose goal is to take Gammamon's place and together with its fellow Betsumon crew, plans to take over the dormitory. When Gammamon returns to the dormitory, he learns of the Betsumons' plan and tries to tell Hiro about it.


Episodes 31 and 32 might be ones to watch for...

I'm relatively satisfied with the episode. It's interesting that Jellymon's personality goes from Gremlin -> Gyaru -> Desuwa. I also hope that Kiyo will be a bit less cowardly from here on. No more "integer overflow"s please.

Also, I was bored so I made quick and dirty edits for what I think are the three most likely options for Survive Agumon's Virus champion. I wanted to get a feel for what the scene might look like. Personally, I'm hoping they keep up the variety by picking one of the bottom two.
