The Dark History Of The Digital Hazard EXPLAINED!

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks so much for watching, everyone, and welcome back to the SPOOKTOBER SPECTACULAR! If we can get to 500 likes that would be amazing! Are there other symbols or similar things in the Digimon franchise you'd like to see me explore next? Let me know!

[@digitaltailsmon4096]

I don't have a symbol but I really wanna ask are you gonna do the dark ocean this year? It's just odd for a person like you who is so into Zero Two and has talked about things in other seasons that never happened not bringing up the most frustrating and interesting part of Zero Two. PS: Frustrating because they did nothing with it not that the Dark Ocean as an idea is frustrating.

[@jamesmcdaniel3389]

MirageGaogomon technically doesn’t have the digital hazard cause if you look at it it is actually upside down to the orientation we see the digital hazard in

[@vivienjoly7617]

For dukemon, one interesting thing to note is that he's allways one of the royal knights that betray Yggdrasil, and usually the first to betray him, it could explain why he still bears the hazard symbol, because he still has a high chance to cause chaos in the digital world by betraying its ruler, but the difference is that he will only do that when the digital world needs to change in order to become good again

[@joaogabrielmoreirafreitas5608]

And even that is the general theme of Dukemon as a character, a virus with the potential to destroy the digital world, but it has become a guardian of the network. He writes his own destiny and will always be there to help when needed.

[@antitheist3206]

Fun fact: Every other knight is data or vaccine, but Galantmon (or Dukemon if you prefer) is a virus. The more you know EDIT: actually, Magnamon is a Free type and Crusadermon (or LordKnightmon if you prefer) is also Virus type. Still, Crusadermon is 3 for 3 being a bad guy, though not always a traitor.

Always thought that Raguelmon from Digimon Adventure Tri. was a great candidate to have the Digital Hazard symbol slapped on them. I get that it's part of that anime's storyline, but Raguelmon is literally a walking hazard event, and has a dark side throughout its digivolution line.

[@Karn_EX]

Very true! Meicoomon in general feels like a half X-Antibody half Digital Hazard situation

[@Thewavedemonjackal]

Especially since when Raguelmon appeared, structures began dissolving around her

[@Harleytehdragon]

I always thought of the digital hazard much like the biohazard symbol saying "Hey, this thing is dangerous! Treat it with care or expect consequences." Never really tied it in with MirageGaogamon, but I think it fits Guilmon and Lucemon well! I'd love to see some more info about these odd things that we see in the digital world that get little to no explanation, but perhaps it's a mystery we'll never know... Mwahahaha! Side note, I really love the vest you got on and all the "spooky" stuff in the background! It really all looks, great man!

[@Karn_EX]

Totally agree, I'd love more of these things to be explained. Thank you, I really enjoyed dressing the set for Spooktober!

[@animeguy1101]

Something I vaguely remember is someone had an idea that Magidramon already existed but didn't have a digivolution line. That is until Takato made Guilmon and created one for it. So the Digital Hazard appears on Guilmon because it is now connected to Magidramon.

[@joaogabrielmoreirafreitas5608]

But that's exactly what happened, after all digimon can ignite pre-existing evolutions if certain requirements were met.

I legit never knew MirageGaogamon and Lucemon had connections to the digital hazard. Honestly, in retrospect, considering how crazy-strong some Digimon can get in kinda surprised there aren't more digital hazard out there... As for other symbols, maybe discussing the design theory behind the crests could be interesting? Or maybe the repeated inclusion of golden rings on holy-themed Digimon?

[@MajoraZ]

It's also interesting that Miragegaogamon/the Gaomon line has a sort of similar design progression to Guilmon in addition to both having the Digital Hazard: The child stage sets the base concept, the adult stage accentuates the features, the perfect stage adds engines and jet features, and then the ultimate stage is a medieval themed knight version of the line.... now, in fairness, child > bigger child as adult > cyborg > knight isn't exactly a rare progression template for digimon, it's sort of common, actually; but I think there's more direct parrallels between the two then most lines with that format, especially given how explictly engine, jet, motor, etc themed the perfects are; rather then being weapon or generic machine themed.

[@samueljackson5436]

it does make you wonder if there's some hidden side evolution to MirageGoagamon similar to Megidramon, which now that i'm typing it and the digimon coming from Savers probably means it's a very good thing we never got a Ruin Mode for Mirage Goagamon

It is so common in fact that both agumons, both from adventure and savers has a similar design for every stage, garurumon line also switchs the 2 last evolutions arround, having no cyborg until weregarurumon but then evolving into a full cyborg (and that is why blitzgreymon and cresgarurumon actually makes more sense to both lines than their original versions).

[@fearlessdrago21]

I like the idea that the digital hazard is like nuclear power. Some digimon use a source of power that is unstable which can cause them to be mentally. Then even ones that keep themselves under control are still powered by this source. So headcannon if any digimon like gallantmon or miragegaomon are destroyed they could chose to release the power as a last ditch effort like a bomb. Releasing the raw power of the digital hazard.

[@joaogabrielmoreirafreitas5608]

bomb= Megidramon😅😅😂😂

[@Simpin4Mal]

I remember being a kid and wondering why Guilmon had an "evil" symbol on him. I don't think I had any idea what the digital hazard was but I still interpreted it as being something sinister. It's interesting to me that as a 9 year old I somehow reached that conclusion on my own. I think that shows just how well designed it is to be able to lead a child's mind down the correct path without shoving it in their face.

[@painvillegaming4119]

If I had to guess it because people are familiar with the nuclear symbols and anything that make a call back to that will have us on edge

The Guilmon line and Megidramon in particular are my all time favourite Digimon, Lucemon is my favourite villain and Mirage Gaogamon is really cool as well. In short, I freaking love the Digital Hazard. Thank you for making this video.

Guilmon due to being a digital hazard all of its lines are a virus type digimon, but its intersting to see that it also has the black varient normally to be a virus varient. tho i do have to say that the digital hazard do require abit more lore it seems like there is a real established lore and why some digimons have them, they just havn't told us yet

I always thought those classifications didn't get used enough in the show. the only tiem it was plot relevant was with Guilmon, there was a line specifically when he turned into Megidramon about him being Virus type but obviously it turned out to be the result of his dark evolution rather than his nature.

[@nzletaku]

I always love lore videos and your theories on why evolution lines are the way they are. Great video for the season

[@daltonoakleyjr391]

Can’t wait to see the theory of the Zero unit since it’s interesting that Calumon, the mega forms of the main 3 Digimon from tamers , and Lucemon had that symbol. Makes me think that Lucemon was suppose to be the final villian of Tamers since his story is also tied to the Digimon that oversees the Digimon sovereign

[@harrybechtle4333]

I believe that miragegaogomon carved the digital hazard as a sign of how powerful it is I headcanon that lucemon was branded with the digital hazard after he fell As for tamers guilmon, I actually theorized that takato is the true digital hazard(which explains his psychic powers) with guilmon acting as a catalyst power it’s destructive power

[@Karn_EX]

Hmm interesting ideas!

[@Jade_Bunbun]

Takato is psychic excuse me👀👀👀???

[@ZombieBarioth]

Its the other way around for Takato and Guilmon, Takato is the catalyst. Takato's anger and willingness to win at any cost is what led to Guilmon becoming Megidramon, similar to how Tai pushed Greymon into becoming Skullgreymon.

[@joaogabrielmoreirafreitas5608]

@@Jade_Bunbun From the beginning Takato was weird. When Ruki and Renamon were fighting in the street in front of Takato's house he was floating on the balcony of his house, watching the fight, but no one saw him there because Takato was physically sleeping on the bed in his room. That was Takato's mind seeing the fight outside his body.

When Guilmon reached the perfect stage Takato began to physically feel the attacks that his partner received, he also began to have strange hallucinations about Guilmon and sometimes went into a trance state.

[@evanartist8060]

Oooo I always love Explain videos. Despite Digimon being a series that I adore and hold close to my heart, there’s still a TON of things in the franchise I don’t know a lot about. The Digital Hazard being one of them, I had heard the name and seen the symbol a lot, but didn’t really know what it was, just assuming it was a symbol for “DANGER” or something. So I greatly appreciate this video Karn! But again, there’s plenty of stuff I still don’t understand. Biggest one if anyone is curious? While I adore the Olympus 13…I don’t fully understand how the Digital World has different servers, why it has those, what the hell is difference besides who protects them, and if they are counted as like…entirely separate worlds. This was just an example. Would LOVE to see more videos like this Karn, both Spooky ones and and ones explaining some really weird stuff in the Digimon World. Great Vid as always Dude.

I never thought much of the digital hazzard or calumon as a counterpart it makes so much sense now. Now all i can think of is that guilmon could hsve had other forms as one scene plays in my head where takato armor digivolves guilmon but maybe the hazard was placed on him creating growlmon and wargrowlmon and was the power of the hazard making them go beserk as he nature of megidramon and gallantmon is a biomerge soo maybe it was takato's willpower alongside guilmon that made it less chaotic

[@KauroraNoKokoro]

Very interesting! I never made these connections for the Digital hazard outside season 3 before. Super cool that you were able to point out the Lucemon connection. It makes me think the Digital hazard could really become an even more significant symbol if it were fleshed out a bit more in its own storyline.

This has nothing to do with the digital hazard, just something I noticed, yggdrasil, despite being the so called God of the digital world, always seems to land antagonistic roles, in savers he tried to destroy the human world, in the dorumon movie he basically tried to kill all the digimon, and in a lot of the games he created a lot the digital lifeforms that serve as final bosses, just thought that was interesting

[@digitaltailsmon4096]

Yeah but hey it is a thing in anime and video games for God to turn on everyone and kill all mortals so why not a Digital God.

[@Jade_Bunbun]

I do believe Yggdrasil and God themselves are actually separate entities, since even after the inclusion of Yggdrasil we still get mentions of God, along with the Royal Knights serving directly under Yggdrasil yet have no working relationship with the Three Archangels who serve directly under God

[@gregkava1276]

@@Jade_Bunbun 100% agree

[@nnethzwart116]

​@@gregkava1276 40% wrong: Although the Three Great Angels were founded by the Human God, the Digimon Chronicle X storyline recognizes Yggdrasill (and Ogudomon X) as God, while the Human God physically died a long time ago. The fact that the Human God died comes from Digimon Story Lost Evolution, where he leaves a child copy of himself who is not Lucemon, he is a boy named Kernel (the comparison with Lucemon is because they are both "sons" of this Human God, and in fact, you can find a stupid physical and mental resemblance between them, both blond-haired blue-eyed dictators). Still, Kernel is insistent on making it clear that all power belongs to Yggdrasill, even if the Human God created this supercomputer or not. In Digimon Crusaders, Yggdrasill has disappeared and all the Digimon with some sort of position start fighting among themselves to see who rules everything as God, and this includes the Three Angels because they had been serving Yggdrasill until he disappeared. But finally, the most incredible lore is in Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, where it is revealed to us that Yggdrasill, even though he is God, is researching a way to find God, the real God, not even the Human God who possibly created the supercomputer, that human was created by a Creator if you think about it enough.

[@nnethzwart116]

@Martin Toledo I promise you it will get worse in Digimon Survive, the game was made in the producer's anxiety to explain some ideas that Hiroyuki Kakukudo told him about how mankind always believed in supernatural beings and formed religions around them, but that in the post-modern era and especially due to the trope that supernatural beings make reactions in electronic devices (the famous paranormal activity, the infamous and silly ghost recordings, etc.), people began to believe that the yokai and other beings like angels or demons were monsters coming from technology and began to call them "digital monsters". So, as these beings actually came from a plane called "world of ideas" shaped by the beliefs of mankind, human perception rewrote their essences and changed the story from mystical beings to digital beings, altering the history of their pasts completely.

[@Gogetossj50]

A reason why Miragegaogamon has the Digital Hazard could be because Gaomon is a subspecies of Gazimon, which can digivolve into various dangerous digimon such as Chimeramon and Gulfmon. So, maybe, the digital hazard is a warning that Miragegaogamon, despite it's noble appearance, is as dangerous as those digimon.

So, the thing to note about Guilmon is that he doesn't JUST bear the Digital Hazard. He also has its counterpart (the same symbol that Calumon has, the Catalyst). I kinda see Guilmon like a living version of Kite's Bracelet from .Hack: It can bring great salvation, or great destruction, based on the whim of the user.

[@JEL625]

One of the things to remember about the hazard is that the first Digimon was a virus type. I think this was meant to be places on dangerous virus types as a sign of their destructive capacity and virulence. Megedramon's very presence shook the foundations of the digital world and woke up the true enemy. The Lucemon line is also an apocalypse level walking disaster. I do hope they explain it in a later series.

[@joshuaolsoncook]

“Hey baby…wanna kill all humans?” -Megidramon, last words.

[@RedDragonForce2]

I always felt like the Digital Hazard appeared on Guilmon because Takato was so linked to the Digital Hazard. As if he was the Chosen Tamer of the Hazard. Since Takato’s emotions, particularly anger, powers up Guilmon’s Digivolutions, when it reached a tipping point, it triggered the Digivolution into Megidramon. With his original D-Power Destroyed, but his power still needed as a Tamer/Digidestined, the Digital World granted him a new D-Power - one that could contain and focus the Hazard into Dukemon/Gallantmon. It gave a greater emphasis on Takato’s character arc and why his imagination brought Guilmon to life. But maybe that’s just me.

I imagine that the digital hazard shows the potential for a Digimon to go feral with raw power. Despite never seeing it, I would not be surprised if a miragegougamon ruin mode was in the works when the original was designed, potentially dropped and replaced by shinegreymon ruin mode instead. As for guilmon, we’ve seen the good boi borderline feral early on when he first started fights and wouldn’t listen to takatomon. Lucemon is lucemon, I don’t think I need to explain why Lucifer would be considered potentially feral, especially when you get a look at shadow lord mode. Overall it’s a hazard sign. A digital hazard. The Digimon in question is dangerous to be around without caution. Whether said caution requires a gentle touch of a friend, the trust of a master, or grovelling on your knees begging for mercy is entirely up to what Digimon possesses the danger.

[@DuskSorrow]

[@Karn_EX]

[@Dusxio]

Considering the plot of 2020, the stuff we see in tamers, and the lore of the lucemon line, The Hazard and the Zero-unit seem to similar contrasting forces of the creation and evolution of the digital world, and the destruction and end of it. Callumon is said to be the light of evolution that wished for digimon form itself, and Omegamon remarked that Negamon, despite being the will of destruction, was a digimon too. It even connects to the X-antibody plotlines where the hazard was the overpopulation threatening to crash the network. Just me speculating, but the Zero-unit and Digi-hazard might be inverse forces in essence. The Growth and Life contrasting with the End and Destruction. Both phenomenally powerful if left unchecked, but also a sign of so much potential for those marked.

You can consider it like this: You have the Angelic Realm, the home of the Holy Digimon; The Dark Area, where the Evil Digimon are banished to; And the Digital Hazard, where waste and Anomalous Data are sent. It's a realm of Chaotic Energy. Occasionally though, a Digimon created from an amalgamation of this data can break out of the Digital Hazard. These creations have an unstable Digicore, which gives them great power but instability of mind. Guilmon was created out of recycled data pulled from the Digital Hazard, so it was branded with its symbol to warn of its unstable nature. Apart from MirageGaogamon, all other beings bearing the Digital Hazards symbol have a direct connection to the Chaotic energies of that realm...

The zero-unit might be what lets the other members of the line be beneficial to the network. To the point where Gallantmon is a royal knight bearing both.

[@akumar9836]

Digimon rearise had an small event where megidramon was using full power of digital hazard, megidramon was bodying all the other 3 great dragons but was eventually defeated. And then there is also the new card game where it shows him beating omegamon i think

[@joaogabrielmoreirafreitas5608]

rearise event that it was revealed that Megidramon was transformed into a Guilmon that later became the Royal Knight Dukemon

[@omegazx999]

Speaking of Tags and Crests, both Guilmon and Taomon have markings on their body that could be used as "Crests." Guilmon of course has the Digital Hazard while Renamon has the Yin Yang symbol. Unfortunately Terrirermon doesn't have a unique symbol but all three Tamers Megas have the Zero Unit on their body.

[@baddragonite]

So wait if the Hazard symbol represents the apocalypse, and 2 of the evil Digimon with the Hazard symbol are Lucemon and Megidramon, Lucifer and a Dragon named for Megido respectively, then that means there should be at least one more Hazard Digimon to conclude the dark trinity of the Book of Revelation in the Bible

[@Nightout88]

@2:36 i also find it funny that Megidramon is one of the 4 legendary dragons of the digital world with the 3 others being [and I could be wrong it's been awhile since I read any of their bio's] Goddramon, Qinglongmon, Holydramon, with Slayerdramon either as the head dragon or the only one who beat them. [like i said it's been 10+ years since i read their bio's so i could be way off base here.]

[@Nightout88]

this means that even before Takato made Guilmon that, they have always existed and always will.

[@Nightout88]

@3:31 i've always called them [gold] growlmon and [gold] war growlmon. Orange always felt like a mistranslation to me as they don't look remotely orange, maybe yellow even green [if you have color blindness] but not orange.

[@Nightout88]

@7:32 "rivals god" still got his ass whooped by an Omnimon [in terms of power lvl] Ultra.... I some how doubt Lucimon is as strong as "OUR" gods maybe the digiworld gods but not humanity's gods. once again i think it was a mistranslation.

[@Nightout88]

i mean unless hell is the digiworld but if that's the case that sound more like heaven to me.

Something about the way Karn describes the Digital Hazard being potentially good or bad reminds me of Sailor Saturn and her roll to destroy everything to help rest the planet.

Ooh, never got deep into Sailor Moon but that sounds dope 👀

[@DudeHunder]

I never knew that symbol had a meaning . Can you make videos on other symbols?

[@ESw0rdsman]

The digital Hazard is simply an indication that a Digimon has the potential to be a big danger. It’s simply an INDICATOR

[@Karn_EX]

According to you. No official lore states that :)

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the top of Guilmon’s nose DOES have the digi.hazard sign, in Takatos drawing (which you show, fair play) it’s totally visible, so it probably existed before that in a Digimon that lore wise existed prior

[@Karn_EX]

That's not the Digital Hazard, that's a separate and in fact opposite symbol also seen on Calumon called the Zero Unit

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

@@Karn_EXis it really? It’s a hazard sign once he really appears I know that because it glows as such in the Shining/matrix evolution

[@mdudegamer]

Yo, I forgot drawing Guilmon had a bare chest. I just thought Takato accidentally created the Digital Hazard when he made his fan creation.

[@chrisschmidt8454]

I have no idea if you have dune this video yet but I would love to see a video of the Royal Knights or the Demon lords

[@Karn_EX]

Definitely plan to cover them in future!

Was cool to see a video on this, it makes a cool decal. speaking of, what did you end up doing with that decal i sent you?

I’ve always considered miragegaogamon the wolf equivalent of gallantmon being the dragon, so wouldn’t be surprised if it was just inspired by it

[@raybenavides9898]

EXCELLENT VIDEO !

[@Karn_EX]

Thank you, Ray!

[@jamesdraken8456]

While the word hazard usually indicates danger or peril, it can also mean a venture, which itself can mean to try a new undertaking involving danger and risk. On top of that, "venture" was used in the past to mean destiny. its entirely possible the term hazard was used deliberately because of these. And "Digital Hazard" just sounds a lot more fantastical than "Digital Venture."

[@jaykewojno2287]

So can you do videos about the royal knights and/or Olympus 12?

[@3s7acad0]

Thought of something after the fact- the magic runes from all the Witchelny Digimon might be interesting to discuss, as well as thematically appropriate for the spooky times

[@Karn_EX]

Witchelny video will be out October 27th 👀

[@michaelmann7816]

Interesting thought: is there any relevance to the fact that MirageGaogamon is the only bearer of the Digital Hazard (unless there's one that went under the radar or I missed it being there) not to also carry the Zero Unit?

He really busted out the fit.
