I actually had an original idea for Garurumon's dark digivolution called Fenrirgarurumon based on Fenrir from Norse Mythology he's this massive terrifying wolf god, I imagine a black colored Garurumon wrapped in chains, and then a sword going through his muzzle, maybe some form of a grey sword, I always thought that would be a cool idea plus I think we need more Norse inspired Digimon

This was a fun watch- Especially as someone who always really liked the idea of Dark Digivolution. I agree with most of the picks here too- LadyDevimon being my pick for Gatomon too. The only one I beg to differ on is Birdramon who I would personally have given Karatenmon to, and I'd really like to see this explored for the other seasons like 02 and Tamers as well.

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks so much! I definitely like Karatenmon I think I was just looking for something that evokes the same skeleton or natural decay vibe as SkullGreymon and Lavagorita fit the bill but I'm not mad at Karatenmon at all! Glad to hear you want more, I definitely want to do more!

[@mysticdigital5936]

Every time I'm reminded that we never got "normal" versions of the Evil warriors. Like, why does Darkness get two forms from being a Cherubimon servant but the others are jsut??? The normal ones???

[@KOTK11]

I actually did a little look at this concept when I saw corrupt versions of the crests for the original adventure cast. As such, I’ll compare and contrast. I ended up on Cerberusmon on the logic of what Digimon would be a corruption of friendship and getting the three headed Digimon who can’t leave one another, but this is definitely a good choice too to match the OG dark digivolution. My choice for these two actually are persiamon/beastmon and knightmon. Beastmon because of it’s rivalry with Nefertimon, gatomon’s light armoured form. Knightmon was chosen because of the crest of hope literally being on it, and the fact that knightmon is easily corrupted by following a corrupt master. Birdramon was a fairly hard one for me, albeit neither going towards bones or fire, I went with parrotmon, who we’ve already seen as a villain and I wouldn’t mind seeing them as an evil “ally”. I went with Blossomon. Partly because I didn’t want to use a Digimon that was too new, partly because I was trying to stick with the general theme of the crests, and Blossomon is very specific about where they live, apparently. I got olegmon here, but they ended up being a mega, so you definitely have a better choice. The only one that I could think of now is shogunkekomon. But that’s not exactly a real choice, is it? Metallifekuwagamon. What better corruption of the knowledge and intelligence of Izzy than forcing kabuterimon, his best friend, into a cyborg kuwagamon? The natural enemy of kabuterimon? Personally I’d say it’s a hard yes for this one for me, but you do have a good alternative, both skeletal AND buggy. Very good job good sir, and looking forward to your next video.

[@DrawciaGleam02]

Err, Parrotmon looks too "cute" to be an 'evil" digivolution to me. Maybe a black version would make it more convincing. Though that might be cause I envisioned an inversion of the fight where Parrotmon first appeared. Basically Parrotmon is the good digimon trying to stop one of the heroic digimon from Frontier from causing destruction.

For Veemon, Magnamon already has a "black" variant, so I can imagine a scenario where the Digimental of Miracles get corrupted. Or maybe he could Dark Digivolve to Veedramon's whole through line. "Fueled by Zeromaru's rage of being left behind by Taichi." But also thinking about Davis being so obsessed with Angemon and trying to force Veemon to Digivolve into something similar, this resulting in a Fallen Angel Digimon would fit nicely, so I think Mephismon works best

[@Pridam]

The thing about the black variants of most digimon is that the only difference between them and their regular counterparts is literally just the color. Omegamon Zwart for example can still be considered one of the Royal Knights, with the black coloring only being the only thing off about it

Going a little different on this one and going with Dark Mega Digivolutions, partially inspired by Megidramon 1. Agumon > BlitzGreymon: Honestly, I was hoping for a story where Agumon gets a virus from Machinedramon and ends up becoming Blitzgreymon, going on a complete destruction spree. 2. Gabumon > Merukimon: Visually, it already has a lot of connections to WereGarurumon while also having some elements of creepiness to it, almost like a Garurumon pelt possessing a human host. 3. Biyomon > FrosVelgrmon: The polar opposite of Houomon and its fiery rebirth, this Digimon brings only the cold embrace of death from its loveless heart. 4. Tentomon > GranKuwagamon: Honestly, this one is just based on it be the rival of HerculesKabuterimon 5. Palmon > BloomLordmon: For me, its armored body forms a deep contrast from the forms of Rosemon or Lotosmon, a Digimon that has shut itself off from the world. 6. Gomamon > Blastmon: Honestly, the hardest one for me, but I felt like it could still fit. 7. Patamon > GranDracmon: Honestly you could place any great Demon Lord here, I just love the look of GranDracmon 8. Gatomon > Ophanimon Falldown mode> This one already exists and honestly just works imo.

Really like your pick for Ikkakumon since Dagomon is described as a corrupted Buddhist priest (as shown with the prayer beads around its neck) and it kinda fits with the original and reboot Adventure episodes where Joe does the "Buddhist-esque" chanting against the in the Bakemon and Vademon respectively. Plus in the novels, the Gekomon at Shogungekomon's Palace at first mistake Joe for a wandering priest as well. Maybe it's a bit of a reach but it's interesting to see that concept inverted with Dagomon's theming.

I remember having read a series of Digimon fanfictions a number of years ago and the first of the series had the original eight kids in a situation where their partners couldn't digivolve unless it was dark digivolution. Once their partners got a hang of controlling themselves like that they actually did it a few times despite not needing to, for more options. I remember Patamon to Devimon, Palmon to Woodmon, Cherrymon and Puppetmon, Kabuterimon to MetallifeKuwagamon, and Gomamon to Gesomon.

I agree with your list, even with the compromises since there are obviously no better canon substitutes that are available. Anyway, if we could have a wider variety or greater creative freedom to create new forms, these are just my ideas: Key: *_* = fanon-version 1. Agumon -> Greymon -> SkullGreymon 2. Gabumon -> Garurumon -> *Fenrismon* (based of Fenrir from Norse mythology. Got the idea from Trey Nygma's comment) 3. Biyomon -> Birdramon -> *Anzizumon* (based on the mythical Anzu and Ziz, I imagine it like a demented Karatenmon or likened to Tash from Chronicles of Narnia) 4. Tentomon -> Kabuterimon -> *Cicadamon* (based on the empty husks of Cicadas) 5. Palmon -> Togemon -> Entmon 6. Gomamon -> Ikkakumon -> *Pokaramon* (name stolen from MH's Pokaradon, so similar in appearance, but more drenched in seawater and greenish-grey weeds growing out of its fur) 7. Patamon -> Angemon -> *Grigorimon* (based on the Grigori or Fallen Angels from the bible) 8. Salamon -> Gatomon -> *Gorgomon* (based on the Gorgons, which would lead more naturally into Ophanimon FDM in my opinion) 9. Veemon -> ExVeemon -> *Emdeemon* (I was stuck on the name, I just went with roman numerals (V/5 -> XV/15 -> MD/1500) and Ceedeemon sounded wierd. I'm leaning to a mumified humanoid-dragon corpse, a darker version of Gargoylemon). 10. Hawkmon -> Aquilamon -> *Rocmon* (based on the mythical Roc from Sinbad) 11. Armadillomon -> Ankylomon -> *Targlyptomon* (combining a Glyptodon with a tar pit, oozing underneath it like it was transitioning into a giant snail) 12. Wormmon -> Stingmon -> *Brundlemon* (a zombie-like human fly, based on Brundlefly from the 1986 film "The Fly")

When I first made my partner Digimon Kittymon and my own crest (Musicality) I also made a corrupted one the Crest of Anxiety. A blood red teardrop shaped crest. It symbolises my hemophobia, social anxiety and Asperger’s. It causes Kittymon to Dark Digivolve to a corrupted version of her Mega form Susannamon. Susannamon Broken Mode, just a pitch black version of her with a shadowy aura and eyes without any pupils.

Dracmon being the darker version of a Gabumon with a more mischievous personality Sangloupmon being a wolf similar to garurumon but with heavier spike themes like X antibody. Matadormon returns to two legs, and has claws (compared to knuckles) Then Grandracomon is more like metalgarurumon but dark and chaotic instead of metallic m and somewhat “holy”

Dunno, I feel like SkullGreymon serves as Machinedramon's core, when the other metal ultimates only provide power ups.

[@kyleellis9177]

Mammothmon is one of those early series mons who was 2 levels in the cards/early game. Same with Whamon, Minotauromon, and Skullsatamon.

[@Karn_EX]

That might be where I got twisted up!

[@Sunaki1000]

why not using Blossomon, or the Blossomon mutated Form for Togemon?

[@Silverfirewolf123]

This is certainly an interesting idea Id love to see more of!

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks so much, seems a few people do so I definitely will!

[@jimmyjeff1777]

Imagine if skullgreymon and skullbaluchimon dna digivolved into like a skullomnimon, that would be both cool and terrifying in my opinion

[@Karn_EX]

Yoooooooooo that'd be so sick, I needa get an artist to draw that!

[@stugod5000]

skullgreymon would be the cannon because of the giant rocket on its back and skullbaluchimon would be a scythe

[@marquishoward2088]

Link to the 8-bit screen you have in the background??

[@MLESoup]

This was fun! I really like these picks

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks so much!

I figured because Halloween is my birthday and I'm turning 36 I figured I would ask If there was 7 dark digidestined in Digimon Adventure 2 And they had the crest and tagged of the seven sins And has the 7 Digi Armor of sin Who do you think they would be and what there Digimon be and the digivolutions from Rookie all the way up to Mega and Armor digivolution I thought this would be nice for a Halloween episode

[@grendelrex2349]

Ive always loved the idea of dark evolution and ruin mode and I'm surprised there weren't more instances of it

[@robiu013]

I think even if SkullBaluchimon is not meant to be feline/canine it's fair game for Garurumon, because Garurumon was intervowen with Tapirmon (who is Baluchimon's rookie) pretty much since Tapirmon's introduction. Back on Digimon Pendulum Nightmare Soldiers, Garurumon was re-used from Vpet 2.0 to be the other Vaccine champion (probably as an anime tie-in to make the device sell more, i feel) besides Apemon and would digivolve from Tapirmon exclusively on that device.

[@Digidestined_Keyblader]

I actually liked this video, you chose nice picks, I would like to see other digidestined dark digivolutions

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks, Dylan! I tried to do something simple but really thought out with this one so I'm glad you liked it, would love to do more!

[@harrybechtle4333]

I had the idea of a dark bio-merge for rika and renamon, being a dark version of sakuyamons miko mode that was based off of samara from the ring

[@xmarksthespot1372]

You'd think it would be possible due to Skullgreymon and Megidramon. Maybe all Digimon DO have a dark evolution, but there's something that needs to be done in order to achieve it. Something like heartache, or hopelessness, anger maybe even Rage or a deep hatred, or lust for revenge to the point in which a Digimon subconsciously begins to alter it's own code, and when the time is right that Digimon does a dark digivolution instead of the normal digivolution?

[@novasomasu4072]

Do you think you could do a video covering the different digimon groups? (Aka the 3 musketeers, Olympus 12, Royal Knights, Demon Lords, etc.etc.) I think you'd explain my really well

[@Karn_EX]

Definitely something I've had on the backburner for a while! Royal Knights explained is a plan for sure!

[@michaeloverly3459]

leomon finally survived a series!

[@Karn_EX]

He did haha

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

I feel like Okuwamon, and GranKuwagamon as the mega make sense as digivolution for Kabuterimon especially since iirc Kuwagamon was also an enemy of the heroes in the original anime as well.

[@walthersorsa4847]

Am i only one that likes Ladydevimon more than Angewomon 😈. Great video and take care and stay safe 👍.

[@NerdPuppy]

I'd love to see this continue

[@chrisbashaw9963]

I have a question what do you think ogremon good/light digivolution would be?

[@PsychoIncarnate666]

Why not just one of the seadramon for Ikkakumon?

[@Karn_EX]

Not really dark enough tbh

[@PsychoIncarnate666]

@@Karn_EX fair enough, but id pick waruseadramon

[@joaocisne556]

I think dark digievolutions would be cool, but remember, Ryo already have his, the millenummon line

[@kitetenjogalladeknighttosh8863]

What if the Data Squad team had Ruin Mode

[@Karn_EX]

Soon 👀
