5:58 So I have discovered this weird thing with slide evolution recently. There are instances where the Digimon does change level. Darcmon sliding to and from HippoGriffomon for example. It is mainly in the Frontier canon, and arguably the Human and Beast Spirits are the same here, Human Spirits being Champions, Beast Spirits being Ultimates, but giving the hybrids normal levels are a whole can of worms that is never consistent. It is just odd to thing about the term we use from a digimon sliding among the same level, comes from a source were they may not actually stay the same level in the source material.
You say super ducks are lame, but that's because you never searched for Regular Show super ducks! On a more relevant note, thank you for covering not only the core mechanics of digimon, but also the less obvious stuff, like what it means to be a tamer - there's a lot less people talking about this than you'd think. My favorite type of non-traditional digivolution is dark digivolution, precisely because it's bound to lead to sweet, sweet drama between tamer and digimon (assuming both survive the ordeal).
There's also Death Evolution but that's... Tricky. As only known example of it is Ponchomon. Though, they also say GranDracmon knows secrets of Death-X-Evolution...
@@relicking9207 I mean yes but also no, Bakemon and Soulmon can be Death Evolutions but also manifest as normal evolutions... Just like Ponchomon is also Sincerity Armor Evolution, or can evolve from Palmon. In a sense, SkullBaluchimon is Death Evolution of Baluchimon. Death Evolution is VERY vague.
Omegamon is a regular fusion, not DNA Digievolution. DNA Digievolution is a fusion that is of a higher stage than the highest level component. That also goes for Boltboutamon in Survive, as the voice line clearly said "yuugo" and the end result was not an ultra stage while Piedmon is a mega stage. Also curiously Omegamon was originally described as a gattai in Japanese but in Cyber Sleuth the term Nokia's partners used in the voice acting was also yuugo. Gattai is more commonly used to refer to mecha formations like the giant robots in Super Sentai rather than fusion anyway.
Digi Xros (Cross) was really overpowered, you could fuse any and as many digimon you want But then hunters nerfed this heavily only allowing you to pretty much only do a DNA digivolution
It's Daemon. It will never not be Daemon unless its Demon. What do you mean stay for Digi-Existential crisis? That's what I came here for anything thing else is a bonus. Loving these vids, keep going
Xross digivolution is my favourite due to the flexibility. The anime did a poor job showing this. An ever growing army of different digimon and Taiki just kept going with Shoutmon times something while leaving the other digimon on the sidelines. The manga did a better job actually using army tactics and different xros fusions
5:59 You say that and yet at least most of the hybrid slide evolutions are between the equivalent of champion and ultimate stages and Darcmon and Hippogriffmon are a weird, canonically questionable exception.
It is digi-cross. I watched that anime in japanese and they say cross. Fusion was the english name and spoiler, both series are way too child oriented but the english is much worse about it.
I think that a digimon that digivolves with a partner is also a seperste type of digivolution, other than the natural one. With a partner, a digimon takes a shortcut and gains the energy/data requred to digivolve from their bond, or however the digivice works. The pros to this are that it massively cuts down the time it takes to naturally take to digivolve to the next stage, while the cons is that it’s temporary. We can see this type of divivolution is different than the natural digivolution because we see other digimon that naturally digivolved stay at that level rather then reverting. Even Gatomon, a digimon with a partner, has her base form be champion because she digivolved to it naturally versus her base being rookie.
I feel Slide Digivolution is easier for Digimon that have similar, but different forms, such as Gammamon or Pulsemon Digivolutions. Also, what? No Death-X Digivolution?
@@gwinnondavis9284 That is likely true, the greater the change the greater the difficulty so the inverse is also likely true. Also I'm saving Death-X for the X antibody lesson.
Guess you didn't watch Xros wars. (Or It's just been awhile, or you watched the Dub) Would of helped answer some of your confusion with it. Digi Xros, (pronounced cross) just needs a Xros Loader (the seasons Digivice). Originally just owned by Tamers, but later the evil faction of Digimon made Dark Xros Loaders that allowed them to Digi Xros without the need of a human tamer. (Or Generals as they were called in that season). Also it seems like Digi Xros doesn't require all components to be willing to be used in the form, either that or the Dark Loader was able to do forceful Digi Xros. Digimon Xros Wars Hunters changed things slightly. Apparently the big bad Digimon from that season was able to limit the Xros Loader functions to only being able to call 2 Digimon max at a time. Though multiple Hunters (the name for the human partners users in that season) could work together to add more digimon to a single Digi Xros at once. One of my favorite styles of Digivolution due to how flexible and the sheer utility that can be used with it.
@@Retro_Red I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING!! I was so focused on skull Knighton I completely forgot about the Generals having darkness loaders themselves! Thank you for pointing that out. I will shout out this correction in the next lesson or two!
@@Digimon_emperor It should be mentioned that in Ghost Game TeslaJellymon did seemingly react to Ruli in spite of not being her partner (Ruli did the same thing of calling out TeslaJellymon's attacks as she usually would for Angoramon, which I think Ghost Game implied made them stronger?) so it is *possible* that a separate human-digimon connection could be formed between non-partners - but we have never seen something as extreme as Digivolution occur due to this.
I don't know if this is video worthy question but eh, here goes. We know that digimon are born from data but can they also... you know, make babies on their own? Family of Cutemon rised this litle question.
Before ATTEMPTING SLIDE EVOLUTION please make sure your partner has the correct Data type stored so they can easily access it

was thed not a oter digimon priteding to be the other 2?
@@RPK_96 Kinda yeah Murmikismon, but you could see Murmikismon as the fusion spirit in this case akin to Aldamon and Beowulfmon.
@@ironmuro Murmikismon is not a spirit evolution or hybrid stage, it's a lesser demon lord like Deathmon.
@@mattwo7 Never said he was a spirit evolution. I only said Darcmon / Hippogriffomon used the term slide evolution.

Isn't Bakemon also a Death Evo of basically anything that isn't one already? -not bringing Ohakadamon up because I'm not sure how it appears-

Actually, millenniummon's line is a great example. Same with myotismon's next levels and the dorumon death line.
Such a great video buddy love watching your channel grow
The power of Burst mode I like that one more the slide evolutions pretty cool too
I love DNA digivolution
Love your channel

It's also worth noting that this terminology is entirely independent of DigiFuse.
Digi Xros (Cross)

But then hunters nerfed this heavily only allowing you to pretty much only do a DNA digivolution
Unless multiple Hunters worked together, then they could achieve bigger Digi Xros forms.
It's Daemon. It will never not be Daemon unless its Demon.

Loving these vids, keep going
The thumbnail got me acting up
Tho more of a fan of Minervamon other Digivolution.
The X version 😭
don't worry, super duck is real and they're in regular show

4:06 Mercuremon normal evolved into Sephirothmon rather than slide evolved. There's always exceptions I suppose.
And then there is death digivolution, with a cactus becoming a mariachi
Next the superior species numemon!

Also forgot death digivolution, though even I am a bit confused on what qualifies as one. Looking at vengancekidmon.

Can a tamer mix evolution methods together?
Like say dna digivolving ur parters n also biomerging or x fusion after?
@@Flirtz420 i don't recall any examples off the top of my head but there's nothing necessarily stopping it.

Didn't many of the Bagra army fuse without the need for a tamer?

Oddly specific question but let's say I was taking care of my friends digimon would it be able to react to my emotions and dark digivolve?
@@Digimon_emperor Not likely as a digivice and partner bond is typically necessary for ones emotions to cause a dark digivolution
@@The_digiologist alright then, well let's say my friend left their digivice with me on accident would that effect it?
@@Digimon_emperor It doesn't work that way. Digivices are connected to the tamers that own them. You can't use another tamer's digivice.
@@Digimon_emperor It should be mentioned that in Ghost Game TeslaJellymon did seemingly react to Ruli in spite of not being her partner (Ruli did the same thing of calling out TeslaJellymon's attacks as she usually would for Angoramon, which I think Ghost Game implied made them stronger?) so it is *possible* that a separate human-digimon connection could be formed between non-partners - but we have never seen something as extreme as Digivolution occur due to this.
Didn't the leomon of x wars fuse by himself?
what about death evulution?
I don't know if this is video worthy question but eh, here goes. We know that digimon are born from data but can they also... you know, make babies on their own? Family of Cutemon rised this litle question.
Xros Wars is the only setting where digimon are mentioned as having blood relatives. The rest of the time, they do not reproduce.
