I'm giving that dude the side eye. He looks like Cool Boy and is partnered with an X Antibody.

Mega side eye.

I was thinking about this. Liberator must happen in a world where Digimon is an existing multimedia franchise, as the DCG exists in-universe. What if this isn't Cool Boy, but a cosplayer? He's even partnered with Omekamon, a Digimon that cosplays as Omegamon.

So I’m thinking of doing a total Digimon rewatch. Every series and movie. Would anyone be interested in hearing my thoughts as I go through it?

Yeah, sure. It's always interesting to revisit old series and having a different take on them. That said, that'll be a long journey, hope you're prepared.

That's a lot of stuff to watch. Good luck, and keep us updated on how you find everything now. I know my opinions changed a lot when I rewatched everything that existed at the time when I was 19...and that was 12 years ago at this point, so there was a lot less to watch.

Probably the coolest part of all that, the Liberator Impmon gets a brand-new evolution line clearly based on Guilmon's.

I'm sure this comic would be enjoyable if it loaded. As it is the site is unusable, any attempts at reading either crash immediately or take ages to load a single page of way too many.

Dreamers didn't have these issues. I can only hope it's still overloaded and this won't become a consistent issue, because otherwise I really hope someone takes the work to rehost the comics somewhere else. I know the Chinese community's already doing it.

Have they said anything about an update schedule for this comic yet?

Now they have. The comics will come out once every two weeks, and the novel chapters once every three months.

Didn’t know there was a novel as well, is it connected to the comics at all or at least better translated than Seekers was?

The novel happens alongside the comic, but follows the perspective of Yuuki, a member of Liberator's debug team, and her Partner Digimon Impmon. I'll just post the summary from the Twitter account now:

https://twitter.com/digimon_tcg_EN/status/1783468683328700475

quote:

Digimon Liberator has a debug team tasked with resolving internal problems in the game.

Digimon Liberator, the immersive card game developed by I.D.E.A. contains a supposedly unimplemented feature that was discovered during the beta test. This is the presence of wild Digimon that hadn’t been made into cards. For what purpose did they exist, and why did they cause an influx of errors in the game?

To investigate and resolve this problem, and to convert all Digimon into cards, I.D.E.A. formed the debug team by inviting certain players into it. Yuuki, a player involved in the game since the beta, her partner Impmon, and the other members of the debug team pursue the mysteries of this world.

——This is a story about Digimon, and of the world.

About how well translated it is, it's impossible to know so far because we haven't gotten a single chapter yet. I imagine it'll be a rough machine translation too while the manga gets a more proper translation like Dreamers did, but I hope I'm wrong, the DCG moves enough money that having an actual translator wouldn't be that surprising.

Beyond that, they actually listened to the complaints about how poorly the site loaded and uploaded Chapters 0 and 1 into a new site that loads properly. If anyone didn't read it yet, I definitely suggest doing it here instead: https://globalcomix.com/c/digimon-liberator

God I don't even know how to update Wikimon with this. With Pteromon, it seems pretty clear that the cards and the Partner Digimon are completely separate, except last chapter Muchomon and Junkmon/Tobucatmon as cards showed the personality they have as Partner Digimon too. I guess they're separate for the actual Digimon but not for the card-created Digimon, I don't know.

Also lots of hurrying through the game here. Feels like I'm watching the worse part of Vanguard G. I guess it's inevitable in comic format but there were some confusing moments due to it, like Bulucomon apparently Warp Evolving to CrysPaledramon which isn't actually possible in the card game, not with the EX-07 cards at least (which these are all but confirmed to be) but I guess it just skipped the middle stage.
