NON DIGIMON FAN REACTS - TO All 1st Main Protagonist Perfect Stock Evolution Scene in Digimon Anime

[@calebgoodman3028]

It’s not abuse it’s survival. Digimon doesn’t work like a sport, rather they fight in order to stay alive. It’s actually normal to have a death every season. The Digimon are also their own individual characters, not pets. Partnerships rely on mutual bonds to get stronger, the nature of that bond can even drastically change what a Digimon evolves into, resulting in potentially infinite evolution paths.

[@DIVECRAFTVODS]

Indeed

[@hermawandon7812]

Also remember digimon digivolve depends on data they absorb It mean they can kill other digimon to absorb its data to evolve or they can absorb data from their surrounding

The Digimon that hatches, may look and sound the same, may evolve into the same Digimon as before but it will be a fresh start. So essentially, they do still die. There are exceptions though, with Partner Digimon ( Savers/Data Squad) hinted the reset with Agumon, they explained to Marcus (Masaru) he might not remember him. Turns out he did but again, only because he's a partner Digimon.

Imma be that guy. But the similarities to pokemon and digimon stop at there being monsters. In digimon they are not pets but partners and best friends on equal footing. Digimon talk and gove some very wise advice. Enemy digimon on usual do not have human partners and are just universal levels of destructive. There is no method of containment for digimon. If you have to have them be consealed, pray and hope its small enough to make others think they are stuffed animals. And there is no "team" of digimon. Every tamer has only one digimon and that becomes their best friend

Except in our war game where infermon does just blast mid transformation

[@superpaytonmars8852]

Those "phones" are called Digivices. They physically represent the spiritual/emotional connection between the human characters and their respective Digimon partners. Basically, they're used to help the Digimon partner evolve to their higher stages. You could think of Digimon evolution as being kinda like going Super Saiyan. They're able to go back and forth. Speaking of Super saiyans, that red Digimon from the third clip is voiced by masako nozawa, aka Goku!

[@d.n.tranger1457]

Bro u have no idea how badass paildramon evolution scene was. The gunfire in sync with the beat of the song was so epic.

[@catrianheir]

you mentioning just attacking them while transforming is actually something they do on occasion. The transformation actually happens instantly though, so most enemies aren't quick enough to stop it. The cinematic is just there for us viewers

[@Nimi450]

The best example is when Infermon does it in the short, as shown while the scene we see is just eye candy, the actual evolution in-world is very fast, but not completely instantenous, meaning if you're fast enough on your feat or not taken by surprise by the evolution of your opponent you have a MINUSCULE window of an opening to rush and stop the process. But halting the evolution process requires so much speed that barely any digimon is fast enough for that, I even think Infermon is the only one to ever actually interrupt completely an evolution.

[@ChaosKnight836]

@@Nimi450 That, and due to various factors, the partner Digimon were limited compared to their usual capabilities. While they were basically fighting in the Internet, a digital realm, it was not the Digital World, and much closer to in contact to the Real World, and such, they were hampered, as seen when a flood of emails actually slowed them down, which wouldn't have been possible in the Digital World. Honestly, I think being in the Internet slowed the Evolutions down as well. Omegamon only took Diablomon down because: 1: It had so much power it could basically bypass the limitations, being the first Digimon shown to basically go to the very limits of the Mega/Ultimate stage, being on the edge of the Ultra/Super Ultimate stage. (I don't count Apocalymon, since it's canoniclly impssible to tell if that thing even IS a Digimon). 2: Izzy rerouted the emails to Apocalymon to achieve the same effect it had on their Digimon, slowing it down enough to finish it off, wheras before, it was too fast for Omegamon to get a bead on.

[@proclarushtaonasat]

@@Nimi450 they dont spell it out, but in the movie, the evolution sequences show up on screens behind the digimon, and on the pcs of the children watching, meaning they actually last that long in-universe, when that was never the case in the show. but it would make sense, since the digivolution-energy has to travel from the digidestined, through the network, to wherever their digimon are. and the processing speed of their computers are affecting the movements of their digimon, crashing the computer completely froze wargreymon in place. so logistically speaking, everything makes sense, if the evolutions are also depending on their processing power.

[@SatoKure]

I'd just like to point out that these are just the "Perfect" level forms of each Protagonist's Digimon, which in Digimon terms, is only the third stage, there's still a level above that. Would be neat to see you react to their Mega/Ultimate level forms

[@kikig6318]

Everyone else has said it before, but the Digimon are independent creatures who battle for survival or to protect their human partners. Most Digimon aren't partnered with a human, and some even influence humans to do bad things depending on the season. The ones partnered with a human usually have the ability to evolve in situations where they need to protect them and will usually revert back to earlier forms after fights since evolving takes a lot of energy out of them while those not partnered can sometimes evolve but only when conditions meet or enough time has passed, and depending on the season evolution styles can be different as more often than not the seasons aren't connected, though the first two are and so are Xros/Fusion. The human characters also usually only have one Digimon each, with a movie character in the first two seasons and pretty much all of Xros being the outliers. Season 1 had the most basic evolution process with season 2 adding in the ability to armor evolve (giving the characters the ability to work around devices that halt the evolution process) and the ability to Jogress/DNA evolve which fuses two Digimon into one. Season 3/Tamers introduced the card system to promote the trading card game where Digimon could get armor or weapons as upgrades, and blue cards would allow them to evolve while their final evolutions would have them merge with their humans. Season 4/Frontiers is the only season that does not have a human partner with a Digimon, rather the kids themselves turn into Digimon. Season 5/Savers/Data Squad introduced the idea of humans using their data souls/dna to cause their partner to evolve and the main character sometimes can't charge his device up until he punches a Digimon enemy (don't ask), while later on they introduce burst evolution which is sort of like their final forms powering up to super. Seasons 6-7/Xros(War and Hunters)/Fusion gave the characters the ability to merge multiple Digimon together but standard evolution stayed in certain scenarios. Digimon: App Mon I think kept the standard evolution sequences and allowed them to merge with other appmon via apps (I didn't watch this one too much, don't quote me). And seasons 8-9 (Adventures Reboot and Ghost Game) went back to standard evolution but allowed the Digimon to have branching evolutions depending on their situations similar to the actual v-pet devices Digimon was originally based on. I definitely recommend checking Digimon out. I'd have to say that the main ones I'd recommend are seasons 1 and 2 (they take place after one another and are the best to get a feel for what Digimon is as a lot of what is established in terms of what Digimon is in these seasons will usually carry over to others), Tamers, and Ghost Game. Tamers and Ghost Game are definitely a little darker in terms of story plot and even imagery as Digimon are considered to be bigger threats to humans in these seasons, but a lot of the times in any of the Digimon anime series, the writing is more willing to tackle more mature topics like death, adoption, and family dynamics which makes them stand out from other monster taming anime.

[@Merufa_Zerist]

I see, you're pretty sensitive about pokemon since you mention charizard when you see greymon and team rocket when you see ken even though only its color and hair color thats similar. If in pokemon they fight for fun and their trainer(master) desire also dream become number one. In digimon they fight bad guys and risk their safety (in ghost game or lastest season with the story occur in human world, it shows that digimon can manipulate, kill, or even eat human), mostly they only have one digimon partner also digivice didn't fuction like pokeball to keep digimon in there (except 6th season with multiple digimon partner), in frontier(4th season) the human become digimon because they only have digimon spirit, digimon evolution sequence only there to look cool and stuff for viewer but actually it happen instantly.

[@Shizukayuki92]

Digimon is not like Pokèmon. They don't store their digimon in the device. You saw the device cause it helps them evolve. Also, in Digimon they fight for survival and both the human and Digimon contribute, and they don't fight others "for fun" like they do in Pokèmon.

[@NameHere2856]

I mean the similarities between the two stop at fighting monsters. In pokemon, pokemon battles are a worldiwde sport and are rarely used in cases of survival. In Digimon, especially in the first couple of seasons, the kids were trapped in the digital world with one digimon partner each. They could die at any moment. There are no ither people to help. Many digimon are just staright out malicious and will kill at any given chance. Every battle they have is a battle for their life or due to an inner conflict in the group.

how are you this good at spotting voice actors. Ok, naruto's voice is iconic and a bit easier to identify, but I have no idea how you noticed the last one had kurapika's VA. About the relationship about human in digimon, it's a bit different to pokemon, in digimon they usually meet thanks to specific circumstances, they become friend and then things slowly escalate towards protecting both the human world and digital world with their combined efforts. Like someone else said in the comments it's about survival most of the time rather than abuse.

[@thaumielessa5051]

Actually the idea of attacking the Digimon Tamer is not exactly unheard of (Digimon Ghost Game the fight against a Mummymon and Gammamon's first evolution) or even attacking the Digimon while they are evolving (Diaboromon did it first)... but most of the time the Digimon Tamer evolving their Digimon Partner are usually in a safe spot to do so and most of the time the enemy of the day is preoccupied with the Digimon Partner in question. Even though the scenes of the Digimon evolving looks long like a few minutes but in actual time it's actually just a few seconds. Also these are the levels of digimon. I'll be using the Japanese localization: Digitama -> Baby I -> Baby II-> Child -> Adult-> Perfect -> Ultimate..... Then there is Super Ultimate, Armor and Hybrid. Spirit Evolution is just a person fusing with the digimon elemental spirit, Armor evolution is just a digimon fusing with digimental egg, Jogress is just two digimon fusing and Jogress evolution is still two digimon fusing but they go up a level, DigiXross is practically Super Sentai/ Power Ranger mecha fusion but with Digimon.

[@jefferyoneill1]

In Digimon Frontier, the Digidestined don't have partner Digimon, instead they use the spirts of ancient warrior and beast Digimon to transform

[@TheArcSet]

So, while I've been told the most recent series did a slight potential retcon. Digimon are lifeforms from another dimensions, that happen to be unusually close to Earth's(') dimension(s), almost like a shadow, to the point that electrical energy from human technology has come to influence the digital world and it's life. The digital world and digimon weren't created by humans, but humans have caused major reformatting events in different worlds and in specific digital worlds, accidentally created the entities that serve as their god, or trying to take on that role.

[@orcmcc]

Never realise how frustating hearing someone remove a digimons agency would be. 😅 Digimon aren't animals. They are fully sentient and capable of full comunication. They are more similar to Summons from Naruto, than to Pokemon. Most importantly, there isn't any breading or subservience. They are equal partners in a relationship. They style that relationship takes is one of the interesting difference between partner pairs. :)

[@meadowmcminn1772]

You can't have more than one Partner Digimon, for the most part some video games and some kids have multiple partners in the different shows, also Digimon can refuse to fight much like their human partner can refuse to fight and vice versa, Digimon can talk meaning that they can go against what their told and argue their point, and as an aside point, in the many shows of Digimon where almost none share a continuity there is only one constant and that is Partner Digimon either have the same personality as their human or the opposite to aid in the growth of particular traits that the human needed to learn or have more of.

Glad that you choose the Japanese version but a little bit disappointed that the video didn't show their finishing move but the fault isn't on your part but the video that didn't include them. I don't mind you try to compare Digimon and Pokemon but the thing is, Digimon and Pokemon are vastly different that you can't judge Digimon with Pokemon view lens. The Digimon world have different rule than Pokemon world that if you watch the Digimon series itself, you can see how vastly different they both are from each other. That was the mistake that I keep seeing from people who only watch Pokemon and try to judge and compare Digimon and try to match Pokemon rules onto Digimon.

Digimon usually goes for a "saving the world" angle rather than just being battles for competition like in Pokemon.

"Child/Rookie" is sort of the Default stage most Digimon stay at. There are some special stages and evolutions too such as "Armor", "X-Antibody", " Burst", "Fusion", " Xros" Ect.

I really hope I'm not the only one who wants it to react to the ultimate forms, that's when they really put more budget into it (and maybe the dark forms?) Digimon really is nothing like Pokemon beyond the fact that there are "monsters", in Pokemon they function more like animals, while in Digimon they function as if they were aliens, since they come from their own world, in addition to coming from the world " digital" (internet), they are quite intelligent creatures with reason, so they can talk, although depending on their type they tend to be more savage, not to mention that the reason why human companions do not directly help with the fight is because easily any Enemy digimon could kill them, so the best way they can help is by providing their power (ironically, the "power of friendship" is canon here) since through their devices the human's feelings are transmitted to their digimon.

Think of digimon like an isekai where the main characters stay just ordinary humans, and a group of locals decide to protect them while they try to find their way home. Something a lot of Pokemon fans seem to think is that digimon are captured and fight for the humans. It's a decision that the digimon makes to protect this human. Usually out of kindness, and they can choose to leave whenever they want. And while you can capture digimon; doing so is literally capturing and enslaving another sentient being that had a life, job, and family before you did so. There are bad guys in the show who do this, as well as humans who straight up invade and try to genocide the digimon out of fear for what they might do if they realize how powerful they are.

[@demonic_myst4503]

Digimon are not animals thwir int beings that chose to seek out human partners to help sve the univese

[@lilyeva5435]

Digievolution is called and Digixross is called

[@UwUha_Clan]

Im not gonna wait for you charge up, im just gonna attack, im just petty like that 😂

[@Inhaledcorn]

Why did they use X4k for Shoutmon's "Perfect" stage evolution? It was used, like, once or twice throughout the show. Should have used X4b.

[@xenfast130]

I think they just got really literal about the "1st" Perfect evolution like the title says. It's been a bit since I rewatched Xros Wars, but I'm guessing X4K was technically the first Digimon of the Perfect level Shoutmon turned into, even if they didn't have levels back then. Still, I think it would have been funnier if they got petty and showed the evolutions for all of Shoutmon's Perfect forms: X4K, X4B, X5, and OmegaShoutmon.

If i had a nickel for every time something commented on transformation scenes taking too long.... I'd be rich. Be it pokemon, Digimon or a Magical Girl anime, these transformations are actually nearly instant. What we are seeing as the viewer of the show, that is just for us. In reality, their evolution happens almost instantly. I too was a Pokemon fan before coming to like Digimon so it's hard for me to ignore certain overlaps. But as the other people in the comments said already, the similarities really do end at "they are both monsters". Pokemon are just regular animals with powers. Digimon are creatures born of computer data that don't originate from the human world. Pokemon fight for sport while Digimon fight for raw survival. The Digimon world is more akin to Monster Hunter. Though, there aren't people roaming around hunting them. But whatever. This video doesn't show it, but each Digimon has several different levels they can reach. Rookie, Champion, Ultimate and Mega. Or in the Japanese it's: Child, Adult, Perfect and Ultimate. It's also important to know that the AVERAGE digimon can beat almost any Pokemon in a 1v1. Their power scales are just THAT different. It would take Mega Charizard to even leave a scratch against a regular Greymon. And unlike Pokemon, Digimon are not kept as pets or inside devices. What you are seeing in this video is that the human partner has the Digimon equivalent of a PokeDex and the human's feelings and emotions are channeled through it essentially, and that often aids in evolution moments. That was probably a sloppy way of describing it.

[@The_Mongoose]

To quote a wise frog: It's amazing. You are 100% wrong. I mean nothing you've sai9d has been right!

[@fubuki5hiro764]

I think the evolution sequence is just visual pleaser for the audience since it wouldn't be cool for them to just evolve instantly. But still doesn't stop them cause they did do it for the remake and yes. Doesn't look cool at all. But yes it is actually instantly. Also, the humans in season 3 and 4 did fight themselves with the first one becoming one with their Digimon for their final evolution stage and the latter ones becoming Digimon themselves.

[@notbadrule9883]

Now these are only Perfect Evolutions. There are more upgrades for these called Mega and Ultimate Digivolution so you don't see nothing yet. And if you do want to react to those, please find the one that include their finisher if possible.

[@manuel6585]

Perfect/Ultimate is their peak but Mega is to go further beyond

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

16:34 as with literally any transformation in the history of anime, common sense dictates that these long transformations are for our benefit and are no happening that slowly.

[@angelobrewster6293]

Even though its called Perfect those are not even their most powerful forms

[@Gapb_TheRealOneTho]

Shits hard to understand without any context, but you gotta start reading some more haha

[@rp9772]

Someone show him marcus punchin agumon pls

[@ricshawsorin5464]

I could cosign, or repeat a bunch of what's already been said, but instead I'd say you just need to come back after watching a season and apologize to us. Might I suggest Season 5, Digimon Savers, or Season 3, Digimon Tamers. 2 of my absolute favorite seasons, and in my opinion some of the most new viewer friendly(yes I would say over the first season, and that's kinda wild)

[@harrythehumansubstitutearr8804]

Digimon and Pokémon are entirely different, while Pokémon pets, a relationship of a master and slave, and for Pokémon trainers that use multiple Pokémon in the team, a relationship of a master and a team of slave soldiers, when it comes to digimon the human and animal or partners and friends on equal standing, and while a human partnership does help Digimon become stronger, it can become strong without a human, but people and Digimon are more than the sum total of the friendship. Digimon is genuinely a darker and deeper serious than Pokémon, for example, digimon gain access to their high forms as their human partner gain more character development, the first scene from season one where Tai had the crest of courage, as he gained more courage his digimon made it to the next level, when one of his friends shows true friendship with the crest of friendship his digimon able to gain the same level and so on and so forth. For the context earlier on in the episode, Tai was truly terrified of dying, because oh boy, is the English version censored, fighting in the world of Digimon isn’t a sports like a Pokémon battle, it’s a matter of life and death, and while there are the Apex predator warrior culture Digimon who will fight to become the strongest, others just want to be left alone. However despite his fear tai stood his ground and charged into battle with cream on allowing it to gain enough power for his courage to reach metal Greymon. By the way when I said it was a darker series, the final bill of season three is affectively the delete key made sentiment, and seeing that Digimon can come stronger with human partner, it kidnapped a 12-year-old to make that kid forcibly be their “partner” The deer reaper is basically a dark corrupted version of organic life like you and I, and digital life like the digimon, and human Digimon partnership

[@harrythehumansubstitutearr8804]

Oh before I forget this, digimon being a deeper series, May I interest you in the idea of corrupted evolution, what if the human partner didn’t have character development, but was a flawed person, instead of showing courage “I am the leader everyone do what I say, I’m the only one who can be the hero now” and so to punish the human partner failing as a partner, instead of involving correctly they turn into a giant skeletal monstrosity that could destroy all of the human and digimon partners together as a loose cannon until it finally runs out of steam and returns to its original form.

[@solastro5595]

Recommend to see the death battle pokemon vs digimon.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

Ultimately is the second to last before the peak. Basically you're seeing Chamaleon, there's the mega stage... on that note I recommend watching the mega evolutions of all main characters too. Or.... the dark evolutions

[@marcopohl4875]

Digimon is not a Pokemon spin-off, rip-off or even originaly intended as a competetor. They're just franchises with similar names and premesis.

[@DemaBryley]

Digimon is cool 😎

[@adam-dn3hi]

6:10 ok gotta explain something to you real quick 1 his not his animal or pet their just friends 2 he isnt forcing him to fight its mutual digimon is about surviving in a world of monsters and making friends with some of them its an isekai anime

[@markomarinic3073]

15:06 Peak Form?.....well yes and no. English was a little extra and renamed all Levels. There are usually 8 Levels or Stages from Egg to peak Level and the final Form or Level is know as Mega-Level but i think in english it was called Ultra-Level while the actual Ultra-Level was called Ultimate. And here it gets funny, because there is an actual Ultimate Level, that goes even beyond Mega-Level but not every Digimon can reach that. Anyway, english just refuses to change all that which is why in english the ultimate Level is simply just stronger then Champion-Level but that's it. Plus, english fucked up with the Songs.

[@mrdisaster5880]

Digimon 1and 3 goku voice actress voiced agumon and guilmon and in digimon frontiers Naruto voice actress voiced takuya and frieze voice actor voiced lucemon fallen mode. Edit: my bad she voiced guilmon not agumon.

[@ViroVeteruscy]

Nope, not even their peak. As for when characters transform. Most of the time it is instant and we're only seeing it happen during that small window. Sometimes it can be used for offense and defense and very rarely is the enemy able to attack during the transformation.

[@dragonjaj]

The transformations are in milliseconds the transformation we see is drawn out for the audience

[@shadowsonicsilver6]

It started as the couter part to Tamagachi which I think has nothing to do with Pokemon

[@charisk2d808]

El mejor consejo que te puedo dar para entender Digimon es dejar de buscar compararlo con Pokemon, no los compares que no tienen prácticamente ningúna similitud

[@Daisuke-tw4us]

next is Digimon Mega / Ultimate Evolution

[@KingEdwardTV1]

OK I GOT U

[@MaelZack]

Would be fun to see reaction to all mega evolutions

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

Not sure why you are reacting specifically to the Ultimate level evolutions. Should react to the Mega level.

[@weldernick3750]

This video kind of left out main character final evolutions for some… idk this is not the premiere video to watch digivolutions lol

[@kylewood4488-b9r]

Digimon is confusing. I haven't kept up with the series since Frontier. It and Tamers stood out the most to me.

[@KingEdwardTV1]

so its not just me

[@VENOM-lp3qf]

Actually the humans will fight too there are moments the kids will fight against the monsters usually tho they get thier butts kicked. Also digimon is nothing like Pokemon due to it being um imma butcher the name but tomagachi.

[@SatoKure]

Having watched the full video, I've gotta say, whoever made the video you're watching has some really questionable choices on which forms to show. Vritramon over Aldamon? Shoutmon X4K over Shoutmon X5?

[@charisk2d808]

Vitramon = perfect Aldamon = Ultimate KaiserGreymon = Ultimate Plus

[@LittleAl016]

Adding to what ​@@charisk2d808 said, the idea of Vitramon = Perfect is reflected in Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory, and the Cyber Sleuth compilation rerelease, where Vitramon can Spirit Evolve from not just Agunimon, but also Meramon, Growlmon, and Birdramon. Plus, in those games, Vitramon can skip Aldamon, and go straight to KaiserGreymon. Which also tells us that Aldamon is Ultimate level, though not in the same realm of strength that KaiserGreymon is.

[@charizardgamer6151]

Anybody else annoyed he called them evolving "transforming"

[@Zerato]

This was painful lol

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

Agreed lol he is cringe

[@bottle-of-water]

Justw want to say some stuff the way they digivilve is technically instant the change is just gor visuals in actuality huge amout of data or energy comes up to them and then they tuen into thier adult perfect or ultimate forms And also there multiple ways of digivolution like armor jogress fusion digixros(digicross) death digivolution and MANY more diffrent ways and methods and digimon dont just have a strsigjt forward thing digimon can digivolve into many diffrent kinds I know you wont read this but eh just wanyed to say some stuff about one of my favorite stories in media
