Vital Hero Digimon Review

[@thetokutickler]

Bandai: Don't worry, the Vital Hero uses the latest Digivice V as the base Bandai literally 24 hours later: *Announces the BE*

[@bronsengames]

What is the BE?

[@KingOfHalla]

@@bronsengames updated vital bracelet; accepts ALL DiMs(meaning kamen rider & ultraman on top of the digimon ones) including exclusive future ones of other properties. some that were teased were my hero academia and demon slayer.

[@Digiheart400]

Since it's the same body you can switch the screen shells and the button things

[@dinobeemon8093]

I hope Bandai US is happy enough with sales to bring the BE. The BE, with all the compatibility and iconic brands, should have been the first sold in US. Would have definitely sold better

[@KingOfHalla]

I can already see the packs of young weebs set loose on convention halls raising their little virtual tanjiros & dekus.

[@ryynerwicked2762]

What is the be

[@zoruasnivy]

I like the VB as a casual companion to my walks. In case you're wondering how much value you'll get out of the roster as well, it gets harder to complete all the prerequisites for higher evolutions in a single day without the app, so if you want a very relaxed experience evolving instead of going for one per day I definitely recommend trying it without the app. It makes you rely on features like the adventure mode way more as well if you don't use NFC, so pushes you out of the house more.

[@dadamaigagamai8503]

As a Digimon fan, I'm loving the vital hero and getting my money's worth. Highly recommend.

[@DigitalDream09]

Absolutely fantastic review of this device ❤️

[@dovesr0478]

Really weird move for them to release the Hero at the same time that the BE, a clearly superior device, was announced. I'll be waiting for that one, appreciate the tips on how to import one.

[@Michael-ru3su]

I feel like the BE is at the very least 6 months out. But besides that , bandai is perfectly willing to resell multiple iterations (as well as hold onto better features for the later versions)

[@ShinSHOGO]

Yeah, that seems to be the usual with Bandai and their virtual pets. I’ve lost count on the number of times they’d announce or release a new Tamagotchi for non-JP regions, while a clearly superior device was coming very soon for JP.

[@Shinycelebi]

It's not weird. It's not the first time America got the left over stock from Japan at the same time they get another new device. That's all this really is, minimal change.

[@KaizerPalpatine]

I really really hope this getting developed further, kinda a shame that the Vital Hero screen etc. is so small and overall build quality not on par with 30$ xiaomi amazfit etc devices. I hope they change the display format to something like the Xros Loader so we can appreciate those awesome digimon on a bigger screen.

[@NORMAN728]

I did find out that with the pulse city dim you can bring the pulsemon from the app to the bracelet since it counts as impulse city

[@ByrneBaby]

I'm still on the fence even after all this time and this video. I like interacting with my v-pets the most, periodically checking, but I'm also into fitness, yet this device isn't really a great fitness tracker or anything of the sort. I have a feeling I'd enjoy it regardless because Digimon, and I do own traditional V-pets so just...absolutely 50/50 still. Maybe the BE will get an English release by the time I can actually make the purchase.

[@owlhatch3812]

I usually pair this with a Digimon x device or a pokewalker myself

[@CaptainVaxinth]

I've been using the Ultraman Vital Bracelet for months now. I love the codex completion aspect of it.

[@atwoodthehunter2620]

Honestly have had mine for almost a week and I absolutely love it, and I second the recommendation of pairing a run of the vital hero with a actual digimon vpet.

[@thekey0123]

A huge plus is the fact that I now have the chance to get the Dims I missed when originally getting my digivice V. I do kind of wish I could get the Pulse City Dim Seperatly, especially since the App just gives you a Pulsemon, but being able to walk Into a store, and get the other Dims is great...Or at least it would be if the only digimon product curently being sold in the Target I worked at right now wern't the Ex-01 gift boxes. Last time I checked they didn't even put out Survive yet. I'm glad I pre-ordered my copy from a different store otherwise I would probably be really sad right now.

[@Levikelly90]

I’ve been enjoying the Vital Hero and currently have the BE preordered. Great video!

[@csteegs8681]

Based on a few of your other videos, I picked up the V about a month ago. Cheaper and got a jump on the English release. Just got back from the beach where I started the Infinite tide dim and a pedZ Deep Savers, a blast

[@blasandresayalagarcia3472]

Man my favorite is the pendulum 20th. It had a lot of eggs and evolution lines, plus you could raise two digimon at once and kinda trade with copymon, jogress. The colored stripes are amazing but kinda wished for a focuss on raising the digimon so it can be more unique when battling

[@deadcool3580]

Cant wait for the color versions woth usb c charging

[@orangeblitz4786]

I bought the Vital Hero and it's awesome as I work a desk job. It sucks the clock doesn't stay on all the time but I can live with it. I'm going to buy the BE as well. The Vital Hero is a good entry for me and is getting me to work out and move around more. I'll be buying Dim cards so that I can have a large selection for the BE

[@flyingmobias]

How long would each last if you play a few hours a day?

[@orangeblitz4786]

@@flyingmobias About a week or so. There are several evolution lines. Then again I had a lot of time on my hands this past weekend. So probably about a week sounds about right for one line.

[@flyingmobias]

Nice. So weeks of daily play per dim card. Are you still interested in getting dims now knowing those mons will have lower stats in BE compared to BE card mons? Not sure it matters too much anyway... like 10-25% power difference or smtn

[@orangeblitz4786]

@@flyingmobias It's a bummer but I'm enjoying the weight loss aspect of the Vital Hero. I've been far more active especially since I have a sedentary jobs where I drive to meet clients and type out reports. I'm sure I'll get over it once I train the new batch using a BE.

[@flyingmobias]

Gotcha. Yeah I just got mine and I'm excited to use it. One benefit for Hero is for the BE apparently: "General attribute based jogress is gone, it was a nice feature that allowed more custom evolution lines". And having 3 days to do all a mon's stat training seems bad. Still has juicy features ofc... one could prefer Hero though...

[@eaglechopper]

Enjoying it as first bracelet own, but I expected just more to do in the app tbh… there’s no raid active atm yet, there’s no story missions or anything else outside of arena battles, it just lacks content..

[@5stMarcus]

Hey humulos, I've been posting mines on the discord I'm glad to see you doing a review!

[@miguelaponte8876]

Still hesitant on the whole Vital thing. 🤔 Tempted, but still not sure.

[@Cattensu]

Thank you for the information. I just got the Vital Hero Red today at Walmart for $15. And was like what all do I need to know about this thing. XD This video was very helpful.

[@hanktank45]

I would like to buy one to support the release but I already have a vb and want to upgrade to BE. I hope these are successful so we get more access here

[@davidsalvador8989]

On sale now 80% off on Amazon! Goodluck!

[@KingWoop72]

The vital hero manual says a dim can only be paired to one device, yet you in the video say it can share dims with up to 3 devices, I was wondering which is correct? Have you tested sharing dims between 2 hero models, or just between a hero and a digivice V?

[@humulomon]

The manual is incorrect, and this has indeed been tested. Full details can be found in my live unboxing if you want to learn more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3mofqOYqJ6Zapo

[@hickknight]

I'm just here for the algorithm as well as how well produced it was. By the way, i checked my VBV when I heard the noises from the video... I am probably using mine too much... Speaking of which. The vital hero is a great bracelet if you don't have one yet and you really want one. For me, I've preordered the BE 25th anniversary edition. I'm also looking forward to your overview of the BE for the info that we do know. I also wonder how the app(s) for the vital bracelet will change. Only time will tell I suppose. But I'm sure looking forward to the BE come Nov/Dec. As for an unrelated thing, I want to have the DMXC/D localized in my hands... But when are they back? I also want to boot one up again, see if it's still as charming as it ever was.

[@Unclaimed_Username]

Not gonna lie, I immediately went to the digitama site and ctrl-f'd "renamon". I want a Vital Hero regardless, but knowing my favorite ninja fox is an option is definitely a selling point. I'll probably pick one up, and eventually grab a Renamon Dim Card. I'll go for black, probably.

[@Unclaimed_Username]

Update: Nabbed a Pulse City VH and am eyeballing renamon dim cards on amazon.

[@WhiskeyAfterHours]

I am okay with this being a reskin of the V, I think its fair that they want to test the market first with a device they already have tons of units of. I bought the hero to support but ill also buy the BE when it releases and give the hero to my nephews or girlfriend.

[@TwinGearHero]

It would be great if you made a video about faulty dim cards as I ordered two Japanese dim cards and both do not work on the Vital Hero.

[@gammavector79]

I want so badly to support the Vital Hero, because the only way we're gonna get more/better English releases is if we actually buy the English releases...But good lord, the BE is just SUCH an upgrade that I really can't justify not holding out for it.

[@flyingmobias]

Down to wait 6 months to 2 years? :P

[@flyingmobias]

Or in the fall for the imported jp version which is mostly English

[@honeybadger9425]

I like the fact they released it in English but not in England lol We have have to get them sent over from US Amazon atm which kinda sucks.

[@Cybersomnia]

Eh, there will always be an upgrade, fact of life...I plan to get the BE eventually, but I'm just as happy with my VB and VH in the meantime

[@lonniethewaffle]

Nice a review for the English version. I'm still thinking of getting the BE only not sure if North America will get a version of the BE

[@shadedshadowmc]

I think I wanna wait to see if the BE gets an English release. When ordering my Bracelet (DM; V wasn't available at the time) from Bandai, I then learned there was an English release coming to Amazon (V). Since we have that band, I have some faith that the BE will eventually have an English. Might take some time, but it's time I'd be willing to wait. The V model hasn't really given me issues, and I can mute it while going to work. I'd say it's a win, especially since my Digimon can still get their vitals and evolve through the day, shaving down the wait time. The low maintenance makes it easier during the shifts as well, so I can say focused on my job, not having to tie my Digimon to the app most of the day. 🎶 However, I would love to upgrade to the BE model once we see it's release.

I'm wait for a more water resistant one my digivice v got a little splash and screen, nfc stop working but I can hear from pressing buttons the board and heart rate sensor still works. BE might be good for me and make sure to keep better care of it.

never had one of these but i am kind of interested, a few questions though- 1- does the screen scratch easily? 2- how comfortable is wearing it? the protruding nub under the screen feels like it would hurt 3- is it water proof? 4- of the current ones out in the US, which is the best? thanks

[@dragonstriker8996]

Really excited for the live 2v2 pvp

[@moshidoru3921]

i've searched EVERYWHERE for the answer for this question: is the heart rate detector better on this version? because I had the original japanese watch and it almost never detects my heart rate, i tried many tricks to make it work such as the paper thingy but it just did not work, sometimes it did on rare occasions but that's it, so i just trashed the thing away, but i really enjoyed it when it worked, so if you know if the heart detector is better or not please reply to me! thank you

[@humulomon]

The metrics were updated to where heart rate detection is no longer an issue

[@moshidoru3921]

@@humulomon sorry I don't quite get you, so the digimon no longer lose points when the heart rate isnt being detected? or is it actually fixed?

[@Deepseashark]

I bought the Agumon Vital hero I like the roster they went for it, I hope they would release the Veemon dim on its own seeing how Id think the US isnt going to get the ver special.

[@YT-cy5cs]

So if I understand correctly this is the updated V model ? I bought the digivice V from Amazon Japan because it was the updated version of the original DM model. I wanted to get a friend one as well but this model is the updated V one ? Just with the original DM logo then ? A bit strange if that is the case but if it is I’m ordering one right away.

[@humulomon]

Yes

[@geoknuckles4629]

I got the black Vital Hero and can you do a video on how to get more storage capsules, I’m running out of space.

[@lonniethewaffle]

Omg is that Master Tyrannomon what dim card is he on?

[@selphee]

If Getting the English Hero Bracelet and using a Japanese DiM will the name appear as Japanese ? Also same question in reverse, if I was to get say the new BE bracelet, or say the Japanese equivalent to the Hero ( V ) using an English DiM will the name appear in English or Japanese on the Bracelet? As I’m undecided if I should get the Hero or wait out the new BE version as quite conflicted if the BE is superior… due to the price with exchange rate here in Oz

[@TheSushiandme]

Thank you, I'll buy all

[@Falco2541]

Personally I am happy with the product the guy doesn’t give it a horrible bashing on it being bad because it is a toy so he’s kind about that and even reminds you about that the app that the watch comes with even helps raise your digimon and I was a huge fan of the show all I’m saying is I don’t really see a negative in getting it cause it plus the app makes you feel like a real digimon trainer so I like it and am getting on I’m getting the blue color one I consider another dim chip once I’m done with training gabbumon (sry if I misspelled I have horrible memory) all in all I think it’s a next gen game/toy with cool digimon in the future I might get the renamon, gammamon, or the forest hermit set dim cards like I said I may consider more digimon imo this thing is cool

Am I the only one who doesn't think the Dim cards are worth it? Not only are they limited use, but the amount of content just doesn't seem to justify the price tag, and it doesn't help that they're bundled in pairs when I always want just one out of the two.
