No, it needs the specific card X-Antibody under its sources, in which case it would evolve for one memory.

It’s pretty powerful but not as defensively powerful as the other Omnimon X, which can stop attacks. That said, the best defense is a good offense, and removing your opponent’s Digimon is pretty good.

It's specifically looking for the X-Antibody option card from BT9, which is generally useful for any deck running X-Antibody Digimon because most of effects which require either the normal version of that Digimon or the X-Antibody card to be in the digivolution sources.

Ah i see, so not quite as easy as i thought. Thanks for correction

Also note that as Yet Another Royal Knight with an on Digivolution effect, this plays very well with Jesmon GX.

Actually, this is a good question. Do you only get to pop one of his effects? Or both?

GX can only steal the effect from play cost 13 or less, so that's irrelevant.

After 10000 years we finally have Nene, and it's fascinatingly mean.

quote:

Monitamon
[On Play] Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. Add 2 cards that are Black with 'Knightmon' / 'DeadlyAxemon' in their names or have 'Twilight' in their traits from among them to your hand.

quote:

Amano Nene
[On Play] Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. Add 1 card with 'Knightmon' / 'DeadlyAxemon' in its name or has 'Twilight' in its traits from among them to your hand.
[Opponent's Turn] All of your Digimon with 'DarkKnightmon' in name or 'Twilight' in traits gain <Blocker>.
[On Delete] Memory +2.
<Security> Play this card at no cost.

So notable things: firstly Nene has no ability to actually do the General Tamer effect of using materials to Digixros, she can sift but she can't actually use any cards if they get under her, though to be fair nobody in Twilight actually has the Save keyword so it's a bit of a moot point. What is less of a moot point is that the game is mechanically incentivizing you to have Dark Knightmon kill her, Dark Knightmon X deletes a tamer when it evolves to un-suspend itself. The idea seems to be to use Nene to get the necessary materials and buy time by giving them blocker, and then when it's time to go on the offensive have Dark Knightmon stab her in the back because otherwise she's pretty useless. It's certainly accurate to how she was used and portrayed in the show, but once again kind of dark.

Does Nene not have the same Black "Knightmon" rider as Monitamon? If not, I wonder if searching 4 cards for Knightmons as a 3 drop might actually have some utility in a LordKnightmon deck. It does mean like half of her effect goes to waste, though.

Despite what you may think, that picture is not just clickbait (well, it may be, I don't know the video). Hitler Agumon is very much a real thing that happened in the Japanese-only Digital Card Battle (not to be confused with Digital Card Arena, the sequel to that game, released in the west as Digital Card Battle).


I have no more info about it than this but I think I'm happier that way.

This is correct.

They got the voice actor from 02, who also voiced Oikawa and is coincidentally the Japanese voice for Sephiroth

GG 25 I did love that they had Dracmon serving under Vamdemon, a subtle nod to PicoDevimon.

I was less thrilled that he was unceremoniously killed off after not appearing for 20 episodes.

Sleeping Sigma

GG 25 is like the perfect distillation of why I'm starting to kinda sour on GG.

The show being episodic and horror themed means too much of an episode is spent on building atmosphere leading to whiplash-inducing and rushed endings because there can't really be much of a continuous story from episode to episode.

One of our first hanging plot threads in Dracmon is unceremoniously offed. I basically have no hope for Weedmon, etc. going forward.

Canoweissmon feels completely unearned to me, especially with so much mystery still surrounding Gulus. Gulus should have been dealt with first before obtaining Perfect. He wants/expects something from Hiro, the "it's not time yet" line, etc. (Hell, Canoweissmon's flames in his profile art are black like Gulus') No character development to be had, though, just the same tired shonen "shout louder to win" a la Colon. The bar is on the floor for Lamortmon and Thetismon's debuts. Lamortmon probably won't even be berserk like it's profile.

Justin_Brett posted:

Gulus destroyed a Perfect like two episodes ago and Vamdemon isn't even dead, just turned into bats. There was no need for Canowiessmon now. It feels like a waste, like they just needed to get it out of the way.

So V-Jump leaks seem to confirm that the three main story routes of Survive map to/determine which attribute Agumon’s evos are.

So it’s most likely:

Morality route = Vaccine evos
Harmony route = Data evos
Rage route = Virus evos

Going over old promo material on WtW is interesting on this front since so much of it is so old I can't quite say how accurate it is anymore. For example here's Habu talking about giving Agumon evolutions that aren't just what he's gotten in the anime (Colon hadn't happened yet at the time so if the Machinedramon we've seen in footage is Agumon's Rage Mega then this would have been true):



He even teases that we could get brand new Digimon for one of Agumon's or maybe one of the other partner's evolutions (granted this could just mean "new to the evo line not new new"):



What I do want answers on, though, is just how sensitive your alignment is since one comment seems to imply your evolution could change mid-battle after devolving. That or it means you might have MetalGreymon for one fight and then in another you get the Rage Perfect because your alignment changed in between.





Going back to this footage, we can see that the characters can talk during battle but are not subtitled (like in Cyber Sleuth). This worries me a little since apparently a key part of battle is regaining SP to stay evolved by having the human partners talk to their Digimon during a fight. Will there be text boxes for this type of interaction? I hope so since it's very unlikely to be getting a dub.

from what little i've seen in ghost game, the human character designs aren't really distinctive in way that adventure and tamers are. in those two shows the main characters and their digimon always felt like they were equally expressive and complimentary.

kinda a shame because the digimon themselves have some of the best designs within the franchise in quite a while. especially love the gammamon lineup so far

I also can't agree with saying the characters don't have distinctive and interesting dynamics with their partners. It's not just Kiyoshiro, Ruli and Hiro have interesting interplay with their Digimon partners and indeed with each other. Ghost Game's cast is very strong.

Edit to the below post: Uhhhhh, well to each their own, but I flat out just don't see it.

This is the exact opposite of his character. His chuuni delusions aside, Kiyoshirou is helpful and looks out for his underclassmen. He’s not snooty at all.

the character development has been pretty strong so far. it's just for me personally its kinda hard for me to form connections to these characters based on designs alone. then again unless i watch something over and over again i generally have a hard time doing so with any animated show (unless the art style is incredibly distinctive)

also might be because i hadn't seen any digimon media for 12 years before watching this
