What If We PURIFIED Digimon Frontier's Evil Spirits?

[@Karn_EX]

Happy Sunday, notification squad! I really hope you enjoy these spirit "purifications" and a HUGE shoutout to the wonderful artists Weirdomon, SomeGuy944, HLR Art and Dry! EDIT: I just realised I said "metaphoric rock" instead of "metamorphic" lol gg Karn you know what I meant xoxo

An idea for a future video, what if you gave DC superheroes and supervillains their own digimon partners.

[@kamkilledkam]

Fuck yea! My karn prayers have been answered!

[@harlannguyen4048]

@Karn EX I was wondering on your opinion on the Hybrid Spirit of Ice, since I don't think that the Human Spirit of Ice (a polar bear cub) and the Beast Spirit of Ice (a yeti) would fuse and result in a penguin wielding a popsicle stick as a weapon.

[@Juliet-Belcouleur]

This is a very serious question i am asking. Can i use these ideas to complete my Homebrew DnD Monk Build, Way of the 10 Spirits ? I've been brewing that thing for months, but keep getting stuck in a corner when it comes to these 4 Elements.

[@rattanaktor]

Wow so good

[@crossbuster4192]

The "purified" human spirit of water is my favorite of this bunch as it feels like the perfect inverse of Ranamon as from the design alone, I feel like Spellmon is a lot more shy then Ranamon, who loves attention.

[@Karn_EX]

She definitely is! Thank you!

These are incredible. Had Frontier been different during the Royal Knights arc we could have seen the bully kids get the discarded Legendary Spirits like these and join the fight. It would have been amazing. Love these designs.

[@kerstin8219]

I would argue you can actually fit a lot of children into Sephirotmon, as the anime demonstrated :P Wonderful designs tho, it's so fun to hear the reasoning behind them and how much thought you and the artists put into each of them. I especially love the reimagined water spirit ones!

[@Ralloris]

Sylvanusmon is amazing. That'd be a spirit form I'd love to see in action. Adamantimon I was kinda hoping would be a little chunkier, given how muscular Gneissmon was. Like more of a barbarian of earth than the ninja look it has. Also looking at the group together, they really make me think of RPG roles: Sylvanusmon is tank, Adamantimon is dps, Bruixmon is healer, and Taliesimon is a support.

[@normjr11]

I love Spellmon so much, she has the most adorable vibes. I'm always drawn to water themed stuff, and she's no exception.

[@Karn_EX]

I'm glad to hear that, thank you!!

[@kylergriggs6897]

So I figured after watching the video I would give their attacks names and I think I came up with some great ones Futuremon: Temporal Missle, Spacial shot, and Future Visor Kabalmon: Iron clad horn, and Kabali-Bash Tielsemon: Hellfire Solo and Brimstone Axe Atistmon: Seed Shot, and Tree trunk Slam Vinedramon: Creeping Tail, Bark Bash, and Roar of the Jungle Sylvanusmon: IronWood barrier, Marching Roots, and Vine Shot Silcamon: Silca Slash, and Crystal shield Gneissmon: Quartz Chrusher, and Diamond Barrage Adamantimon: Diamond Storm(It makes more sense then on Renamon), diamond Dart, and Refracted View Spellmon: Effervescent Enamoring, Sparkle Storm, and Crystal clear ball Cephalomon: Tenta-Stretch, whirlpool Whip, and refreshing breeze Beuixmon: Shifting Tide, and Tempest Beam I really think it went well

[@kitsu1379]

The purified water spirit were brillaint, they're all beautiful, keeping with Ranamon's obsession with beauty and tying in really well with a lot of female water spirits like naiads, nirieds, nymphs, mermaid and such. Spellmon though was my favourite, she was adorable and tying in with another video, she does look like she could be a champion form to Jellymon. Also Adamantimon was awesome.

[@diamonshade7484]

[@kitsu1379]

@@diamonshade7484 Nah Bruixmon still gives Ursula vibes, but in a good way.

[@kitsu1379]

@@KudaGeatsune3821 Yeah pretty much. Ranamon looks pretty but her personality and way she acts make her ugly, which kinda comes through in Calamarimon. However, I think if a Ranamon was nice, they'd get a pretty digivolution like Mermaimon. Spellmon's line start adorable, but the covered face kinda makes me think about Ophanimon, who apparently covers her face because she's so pretty she's too distracting to be around (I do not remember where I heard / read this but it's something I remember, which is why I say apparently), Spellmon could cover her face because she doesn't care about being pretty, which makes her more endearing and adorable and it's why she gets nicer evos.

[@ladyfire44]

Cephalomon also reflects on Spellmon's kind heart and strength. She's very regal and elegant in comparison. Calmaramon represents the ugliness of Ranamon's soul. She hates this form because she not only loses her control of water and has to rely on more brute force attacks, but also her beauty in her human form. Whereas Cephalomon doesn't have this problem and maintains her aquatic control. She uses her magical and brute attacks in combination. I like to think Ranamon and Calmaramon could Hybrid evolve to Mermaimon. She has the beauty and cunning abilities of Ranamon, but also the strength of Calmaramon

[@usdutchkitty]

I'm in love with these purified versions of the spirits and I got to say, as a woman, I can't put go "Yeah, the water spirit is totally my vibe!" Great job with the creations and awesome job from the artists!

[@rafagarau4518]

i was just re-watching Frontier and this was SOOOO satisfying to watch, especially Attismon, Vindramon and Syvanusmon are so well designed and integrated with the looks of the actual digi-spirit and the other warriors !!!! Props for that, keep up the good work

[@Atom85825]

7:02 id like to see more of these especially Silvanusmon's alternate hybrid, we can go over the top like ancientgreymon was by just utilizing every single weapon so it can still have the whole hat, shields, and bazookas

Honestly, it makes sense since from what I recall, the two Spirits were the result of _splitting_ the power of the original Legendary Warriors...

[@evanartist8060]

Now THIS is truly excellent. I adore the designs presented here as someone who is doing a similar project with the “Evil” Spirits turning good, just trying to put a story behind them. These are all excellent interpretations of what these Spirits would be like as good, and just seeing Frontier content in general makes my heart smile. Karn’s content already inspires to keep working on my own Digimon art, and this video in particular makes me want to keep working on my own Frontier Content! So thank you for that Karn. Also glad I’m not the only one who had the idea of have those 4 kids from that one episode of Frontier actually be the Chosen Children for the other 4 Spirits. Out of the ones presented…the Spirits of Water are easily my favorite. I love the re-interpretation of Ranamon and her abilities into that of a Water Witch/Mage. It works extremely well for a Good Spirit of Water. Thank you again Karn for the amazing content and keeping me going on my own Digimon Art.

[@Karn_EX]

Thank you so much, Evan 🥺

[@MsKariYagami]

Oh WOW! These Are gorgeous. I personally was always enamoured by the Spirit of Steel (They still are my favourite). But damn the others look so amazing as well. You and your partners made me appreciate the Spirits of Earth. Very well done.

[@morallygary9098]

HLR and Dry never freaking miss, and the new boys did phenomenally too. Makes me feel less self conscious about not being able to perfectly get the digimon style with my designs, because seeing theirs made in a style closer to their own and still thinking they looked amazing puts that into perspective for me. Great work lads, lasses, and or wherever you sit upon that spectrum.

[@juliagoodwin9510]

Love all the purified spirits. This reminded me of the water spirit fusion evolution I made called Sirenmon/Siremon, based on the modern mermaid like sirens. She looks like a normal human to make other Digimon let their guard down.

[@midnightfox3157]

I love frontier it’s easily my favorite season there’s a fanfic where it’s essentially a sequel to frontier but it features all 10 kids together I highly recommend it

[@Karn_EX]

Nice, sounds fun!

[@conspiracypanda1200]

These are really good! I had designed my own "purified" versions of the 4 villain spirits but I didn't make hybrid forms or change the human stage that drastically. My logic was that the 4 villains were manifested directly from the spirit's data by Cherubimon, (unlike the spirit of darkness which was fused to a human and corrupted in order to control him), so I reasoned if they _did_ join with a human's DNA then their first stage would only deviate juuuust enough to show more human features because they were already, in essence, the "pure" form of the spirit. The secondary stages, however, deviated slightly more and I had the steel and earth kids swapped around. Serious kudos to the artists! These commisions are incredible and show great talent and imagination!

[@zeroknight1311]

This is amazing. Oh and I'm starting to imagine you making videos for potential bio merges for seasons that aren't Tamers or Fronteir. Since it would be interesting to see what could be original alternate megas for certain seasons. For instance data squad having Bio Merge megas would actually make sense narratively. Of course, Marcus and his Agumon bio merging would just result in whatever digimon that Tai and his Agumkn would become even if it's a variant.

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks! That's definitely a fun idea!

[@Knight41b]

A Biomerge of Marcus and his Agumon would probably result a variation of the Agumon Bond of Courage. Maybe a more human looking Knight variation of ShineGreymon?

[@ZDK14]

Love these type of videos.... so much effort is put into their lore, also the art is amazing

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks bud

[@hrstip]

Wow! These are probably the best ones I have ever seen! Every artist stuck perfectly to the theme, but incorporated their own styles with the task at hand! ❤

[@joeylumbley]

12:16 I just came up with a crazy idea what if in a unique timeline Renamon and the Spelmon were split down the middle during the conversation process to being Churbimons puppet and this created two human and beast spirits of the water element

[@ThortheMightyOne]

I actually was hoping see this done at some point so this is awesome. I like how the hybrid steel spirit has wisemon on end of the guitar . Awesome job weirdomon and all the other artist. Also to you too karn

[@Harleytehdragon]

Man I really like these! It made me like the spirits of steel, wood, and water more, cause before I was a little iffy on them to say the least! It also didn't hurt earth at all and I think it was a great purification! I'd have to say I think my favorite are the spirits of wood!

LOVE IT. Watching Frontier I was hoping those bullies got those spirits since they did get a redemption. that would have been awesome in frontier. I'm hoping if they ever remade frontier they include these spirts. It would be so bad ass.

[@Karn_EX]

Haha thank you

[@Bezaliel13]

Them being the chosen children for those Spirits that did not get their chance might have been the idea behind them being in the Digital World. "Epileptic Trees: Many a fan has speculated the four children Ophanimon tasked an Angemon with protecting to have been the ones originally intended to wield the Spirits that became the four evil Legendary Warriors, due to their gender ratio matching up perfectly (three males and one female) and their clothes colors matching the Digimons." - the YMMV page on tvtropes Not sure about it being "cut content" though.

[@Crysticia]

Great work, I really like the Hybridform from Spirit of Water, also the Beastform, the idea of the Humanspirit is nice, but I like Ranamon more.^^ Also Beastform & Hybridform of Wood and the Beastform of Steel is great! (they are all great, but those named, are the best in my opinion)

2 years late but I found your channel and have been loving all these videos since I love digimon and have been trying to get back into the grove with trying to figure out the card game and finishing up cyber sleuth. Need to finish getting the rest of the shows on DVD for my collection. Frontier was my favorite right after Data Squad and I love how you guys went about for these designs. The artists you commissioned did an excellent job at these. I'm trying to design my own Digimon line that's similar to the Salamon line with the cats like Gatomon and Mikemon so I'm definitely gonna go follow these artists and use them as inspiration for drawing. I had just finished watching the one were the digidestined spirits got corrupted and now watched this one. Very good videos and I'm enjoying the rest of the videos you have as I catch up to watch them all.

Please do a part 3 to this, so we can see the Emperor Greymon, Magna Garurumon, and Susannomon forms as I am intrigued on how they will come out or changed the story in some way. Also the Water Spirit forms are my favorite. Also I felt this was going to happened in the show, but cut out of it as the Season was almost over, but would love a sequel to this series showing something like this or a what if season too

[@youdom5]

I had the idea in my head of what if the Digidestined at the beginning were given the other five spirits of Wood, Steel, Water, Earth, and Darkness instead, but not like these spirits shown in this video for Takuya, Kochi, JP, Tommy, and Zoe.

[@mdudegamer]

The steel forms may not have adhered quite as strictly to the designs of the physical spirits as the other three sets did, but I LOVE Taliesimon's guitar having AncientWisemon on the head. It captures something that only Aldamon, Beowolfmon, and Rhihimon had before, having distinct elements of the ancient warrior they're modern reincarnations of.

[@TheGreenThunder1607]

These look great! The Arbormon equivalent Was my favourite. Also Z spirits would be really interesting, maybe even for the other 4 frontier Kids

[@GearPendulum]

The odd part with Z spirits is the fact that they are 5 elements into 1, using 4 of them I guess to power the 1 up. Though i guess if we have Paidlra and Dinobeemon theres no reason the other spirits couldn't take priority, perhaps in different combinations either We know in the arrangements that we are given result in the 2 from the show Though swapping say 2 of the pairs around could cause the formation to shift enough for a different Element to take the spot light. If Kaiser Grey is Fire Wind Wood Ice Earth and MagnaGaruru is Light Dark Water Thunder Steel What if we swapped say Wind and Water? Wind Light Dark Thunder Steel Water Wood Ice Earth Fire I could see that resulting in something differnet. So yeah now that i think about it I coudl totally see Z spirits being justified simply by changing up the way in which the 10 elements are split up. plenty of ways to do Combinations of 5 to probably get all 10 their own seperate spread.

[@bryandelacruz6709]

You're healing my inner child, as someone who watched digimon in DVD. I really appreciated this. Thank you so much.❤🎉

[@CyberPhoenix1989]

The designs for the other four including beasts and fusions are very interesting. Love Futuremon, Silvanusmon, Taliesimon and Silicamon. I can see Adamantimon shooting spears from his body similar to Adamant Barrage from Inuyasha. Also Silvanusmon reminds me of Orisa from Overwatch.

You know, I'm glad that the Water Spirit evolutions aren't in any way sexualized. With how Zoe's Wind spirits ended up looking, It would have been so easy to do that, but the artists went with a far more creative approach instead.

[@Maswartz226]

I loved the idea and also feel like we were robbed of having the 10 chosen children, I see them getting their digivices at the point in the story where originally the digitamas of the 4 spirits came to their aid, maybe now instead giving the children their new digivices, similar to how the darkness spirits gave Koichi his digivice. PD: I wasn't really feeling both the steel ones, while they're I felt like their design was a bit far from the original spirits unlike the other 3 sets.

Okay I absolutely adore these and the earth spirit mons are my faves they're all so fun. Frontier has always been my favorite concept and this is a long awaited concept for me.

[@psgamer-0199]

Ok. MY WHOLE LIFE I imagined these 4 kids to correspond to the spare 4 Legendary Warriors, so this video does make me quite happy. Also, AMAZING WORK FROM ALL THESE ARTISTS. However, I always pair the kids like this: Katsuharu (the leader of this group) - Steel Teppei - Earth Chaiki - Water Terou - Wood Based on aesthetic and personality rather than by name etymology, to me these are how these 4 should be matched. Now having expressed my decades long thoughts on this specific matter, I have to say the Wood, Earth and Water warriors designs are my favorites here. They look incredible!! Seriously, I've always thought designing digimons is super hard. Even more coming up with attacks and etymology. These artists make it look so easy😭 What a wonderful work, really. If I had to pick only one warrior as my favorite from these I think it would be the Wood one. All the designs are solid and I love that combined evolution. The Earth beast stirit though? Majestic, I love it. And the Water human spirit is so cute. Amazing work, great video👏👏👏👏👏

[@taimadyami6711]

So I really like alot of these concepts, and currently I'm rewatching Frontier...and it got me thinking, we know officially the others have fusion forms, but from looking at some its obvious they don't fit. The Fusion Spirit of Darkness Rhihimon is great even though it saw no action, but Daipenmon (Ice), JetSilphymon (Wind), and RhinoBeetlemon (Thunder) just don't really show off any features from their previous forms. It would be really cool to see someone give us some true fusions. Another thing I wondered is what if the other warriors could use unity, it would be really interesting to see what a Unified Thunder Spirit or Unified Darkness Spirit would look like.

[@Stephano217]

These designs are awesome! Though when I first saw cephalomon (my favorite of the bunch) I was hoping for the Fusion to be like jetsilphymon, more armored and holding a weapon. My brain immediately went to Ammoknightmon like an Ammonite. Keep the see witch vibe, but give her a big spiral shell as a shield and a curled tentacle like a staff to fill a paladin motif. The sorceress spellmon learning to be a warrior as well.

[@bookmew1081]

Ammoknightmon for 10 Spirit Fusion of Water would be so good!

[@dracone4370]

My research from some years back also stated that Adamant was a material in Greek mythology, in particular, a type of indestructible stone, the scythes of the titan Kronos had heads made of the stone, shaped by his mother (Gaia, the spirit of the earth itself) and the knife Zeus used to cut his siblings from the stomach of Chronos, who was also his father, was also made from Adamant, also given to him by his grandmother (Gaia); you'll notice I named to titans that basically have the same name, sort of, their names sound the same, but Kronos was basically a primordial agricultural deity (a position basically later picked up by the Olympian deity Demeter) while Chronos was the lord of time and serves as the etymological origin for many of our time-based phrases and terms, and at some point between ancient Greece and the modern era the two were merged and amalgamated into one entity. Also, according to my research from way back when, Adamant was also an old name for diamonds, so diamond being part of the design of Digimon that has the word as part of its name makes even more sense.

[@joshuana5132]

Very awesome, gotta say.^^ Oh, here's another idea: How would the spirits and evolutions have been like, if the users of them were different genders? Like, female fire spirit users, or male wind spirit users, as examples.

[@DrakeDraco2000]

So... slight objection. There's some confusion as to whether the boy in green's name is Teruo or _Tetsuo_ -- the latter of which ALSO can mean "Wise Man" or "Iron Man" (and "Tetsuo: The Iron Man" is an infamous Japanese film with a cult following). And given that his color scheme matches Mercuremon/Sephirotmon, it seems he would have been just as fit for the Steel spirits as Teppei, whose color scheme invokes Grottemon. Not to mention Teppei's personality fits better with the Earth spirits, as well, given that Grottemon was... well, a troll, as well as a coward and a sadistic bully, and Teppei was the only one of their group to *continue* bullying Tomoki as soon as they ran into each other again. Admittedly by both personality and stature, Katsuharu lines up the best with Mercuremon, though we know too little about Te(r/ts)uo's personality to say that for certain.

I love this video! Well done! Digimon: Frontier has been my top favorite season, outside of the main series, Digimon Adventure. I love Frontier because it has the whole Power Ranger/Super Sentai/Tokuatsu vibe to it that’s unique from the regular Digimon series. Shout out to all the artists involved in these creations in this video. These are awesome designs. I love them. Well done! These designs are not easy to come up with because the design has to match somewhat exactly to the spirits. Here are my critiques and opinions about the designs: Spirit of Metal/Steel: I have to commend this artist who did the Spirit of Metal. Out of the four spirits in this video, Metal would be the hardest to redesign. It was not easy to come up with a new concept when the spirits look like a robot behind a giant mirror and balls with eyeballs and lips on them. For the human spirit, I love the concept. Awesome, good idea and perfect approach. However, the design fails to incorporate the human spirit; details deviated too far off from what the details of the relic looks like. Incorporate more human spirit details to the design such as the mirror, and red/yellow triangular details. As for the beast spirit, again, hard to redesign. I applaud the artist’s attempt on the beast spirit of metal however, it’s a fail. Again, just like the human spirit redesign, the beast spirit redesign deviated too far from the actual beast spirit looks like. It’s a goat, with eyeballs on it, and a mirror shields on its shoulders that was taken from the human spirit. It’s a fail. One way to help view the Spirit of Metal is by seeing it as science & technology. You got the technology part in the human spirit as Robocop/Terminator design. For the science part, think of the beast spirit of metal as a molecule structure. Now the eyeballs look more like smaller molecules attached to the bigger molecule structure. With that, it can make sense to redesign the beast spirit as a centipede, snake, or any beast that can express a molecular-like structured beast digimon. Spirit of Wood: Props to the artist responsible for the Spirit of Wood redesigns. They are absolutely perfect, especially the human spirit. I like the beast spirit redesign however, it feels incomplete. I like the route it was going, but the execution was not done well. It has a dinosaur vibe like if it looked like a raptor. If it did take that route, the concept should base its dinosaur model on the dilophosaurus! Incorporate the leaf pedals detail on the neck the as the dilophosaurus. Above all, well done on the Spirit of Wood redesign. Spirit of Earth: Props on the Spirit of Earth redesigns. I especially love the human spirit redesign by itself. However, I don’t think the redesign captures the same essence that the human spirit has. What’s missing is the iconic hat and the hammer from Grumblemon. I think a good human spirit redesign would be keeping the redesign the artist made in this video, but remodeling it in a small, dwarf/elf, loli boy form, with Grumblemon’s hat and hammer (I just think an appropriate Earth warrior weapon would be a hammer instead of a sword). Rename this design with a famous dwarf name and you got a human spirit redesign that capture the essence of the Human Spirit of Earth. As for the beast spirit, yeah, just keep Gigasmon. The beast spirit redesign deviated too far from the relic design. It looks nothing like the Beast Spirit of Earth. It has to be similar to beast spirit with similar details. So, just keep Gigasmon. Spirit of Water: Beautiful work on the the redesigns! Perfection. I love the human spirit redesign. My nitpick thing about it is the design of the boots. I don’t think the toes need to be added on the boots. Just take them out, and simply make them into boots with fins on them. Other than that, the overall design is so cute! As for the beast spirit, well done. Get rid of the bird-like toes, and have the body structure similar to that Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants. Lol. Other than that, beautiful work. Again, well done to all artists in the video. ❤

[@Spidey-bro]

what incredible art work. You had a great idea. Amazing video

[@Karn_EX]

Thank you very much!

[@alanhegewisch4486]

These are SO good! Can they please be official? I would love to watch a season with these as the protagonists and the dark versions of the original as antagonists. Fantastic work!

[@Karn_EX]

Thank you so much!

[@ZeothTheHedgehog]

This is going straight to my future fanfic folder.

[@thomaslarson459]

The wood and metal spirits are awesome. Much love to the artists.

[@BizarreGentleman]

I am glad I discovered this channel. I am definitely interested in their version of EmperorGreymon, MagnaGarurumon and Susanoomon. I am also interested in Corrupted EmperorGreymon, Corrupted MagnaGarurumon and Corrupted Susanoomon. The purified and corrupted armor videos made me think of an idea you could do in the future somewhere. What if the Digimon Adventure's crests were turned into Human Spirit and Beast Spirit armors. I don't know if it's already suggested but I think it would be pretty cool.

[@Karn_EX]

Aww thanks so much for watching! Those are fun ideas!

[@benjaminacuna8013]

Love this and I hope you do the fusions for Jp, Zoe, Tommy and Koichi

[@comicsshouldbegood4493]

These are so awesome. Silvonismon was my favorite. This would make such a cool Frontier movie.

[@alexanderdragonheart2036]

I love your corrupted sprits and “Purified” spirits videos, and kudos to the ones who designed them, I’ve been imagining a hypothetical sequel series I currently call digimon frontier 02. In it I imagine that a few years after the defeat of Lucemon, a new evil arises in the digital world and launches an attack on the human world, but the day before the attack someone or something renders Takuya, JP, Tommy, and Zoe unconscious, and Koji disappears, leaving Koichi the only legendary warrior ready to fight. As a result, so the other four kids are called to wield the spirits of Steel, Darkness, Earth, Wood, and Water to fight alongside our weirder of Darkness. They then must a battle the new evil who now has the other five under his command who have been turned to evil, however just like before, four of them were simply activated and become digimon similar to thier previous forms only without human influence, but one is corrupted. I unintentionally left a clue as to which one it is, but here’s another, one theme here in this series is the shoe is on the other foot. It’s made me curious as to what six legendary warriors spirits would transform into with no humans spirit evolve, I hope he does that in a future video.

[@ReijiNRen]

My favorite was the earth spirit combo, with all the diamonds. Pretty!

[@adrianmejia9096]

When I was watching the episode where the four kids showed, I really thought they would be the new holders of the 4 corrupted digimon spirits but I'm so dissapointed when they just go home. I really like the designs I just wish they're canon.

[@Arcangel-qh8jt]

Chiaki : exist Zoe : Finally a worthy opponent

[@jamimuhammad3699]

This is actually pretty cool. Them having more help would’ve made sense. Whoa these artists were really good. I like how this is connected to mythology. If this was real OMG… Susanomon would be in a difficult spot. Bruixmon looks like Aqua Lilthmon.

[@dualcaster]

futuremon looks dope! and bruximon is gorgeous

[@stugod5000]

Taliesimon looks pretty metal ...I'll see myself out but yet again another awesome video and love the in-depth lore and the reason for the names or particular design elements, would have loved to seen these in the show. the spirit of earth are my favourite

[@ghostytunes4712]

Wood Spirit’s “purification” is definitely my fav! I love the utilization of plants and to give it such a cool design is awesome!

[@anthonysandyii2167]

Awesomeness!! These purified designs of the evil spirits of Earth, Water, Steel, and Wood are really beautiful looking. Though if the other kids did end up getting their spirits, the forms and Digimon they'd turn into would probably stay the same as they were in the anime. Also, I've got an idea of what video you could make next: If other kids or teens in Digimon Ghost Game would get digivices and partners of their own.

[@Poseidonjd]

Thank you so much for entertaining such ideas all the while showing off nice commissioned art!

[@Karn_EX]

Aww, thank you for the lovely comment!

[@Amdrag25]

Teppei is the one who should have the Earth Spirits, and Teruo the one with the Steel Spirits. All the other Digidestined wear the colors and have physical similarities with their Digimon forms. So this would be more fitting.
