Huge shoutout to Forrest C for becoming my newest Digidestined level Member! I'm sure RUclips said you were a Karn Club member! Thank you for being a Digidestined! I'll thank you properly in my next video!
Digimon Frontier almost had SEQUELS. I'm devastated. Frontier is my absolute favorite season despite the criticisms, and of all of the seasons is the one I most desperately wished that there was a sequel to. The original concept was cool as hell ngl, but I'm kinda glad they went with the concept they did. KoKabuterimon was likely supposed to be the rookie form of Blitzmon that was never finalized, and fans often use Tinkermon as a rookie form of Fairymon.
I agree, Frontier was my favourite, and it was because it was original. Every other season just feels like a carbon copy of each other and I quickly lost interest.
@@SilkyCrow The first four seasons are the only ones I care about, but Frontier is special. It's my baby. Part of the reason why I loved Frontier so much out of all of the seasons is how much I related to these lonely kids. They were outcasts or had family problems one way or another, and really had a hard time connecting to other people which really really resonated with me. Zoe moved from a foreign country and had an extremely hard time time fitting in, JP tried to buy friends with chocolate and magic tricks because he thought it was the only way he could get people to like him, Kouji is afraid of being close to people because he has a shitload of abandonment and attachment issues from his mother dying, Tomoki was a spoiled crybaby who was afraid of everything, and Kouichi got double whammied by his grandmother dying and finding out on her deathbed that he had a secret twin that NOBODY TOLD HIM ABOUT WTF. Takuya was the most stable one there honestly, and even he had a crisis when he ran away thinking that he wasn't good enough to be a digidestined because he almost got his best friend killed. (Yeah, that was the fight when Kouichi almost successfully murdered Kouji which is also super fucked up.) I think every season clicks with people for different reason, but as a kid who also had a lot of trouble making friends and connecting to people, the Frontiers really resonated with me on a personal level that I resonate with today.
Frontier was my first encounter with Digimon the first time I remember seeing any of Digimon was on Disney’s Jetix and it was lobomon vs raremon episode 2. It’s still my favorite despite the fact that in terms of actual Digimon it’s probably 2nd or third from the bottom
People who hate it haven't actually watched it. I was hesitant to watch it back in the day because I was about 11-12 (a bit old for Digimon for a kid that wants to be cool I guess) and the concept with people becoming digimon also seemed ridiculous to me. But I gave the show a chance and tuned in when it aired. I became absolutely hooked and watched it religiously every evening when I came back from school. Frontier will always hold a special place in my heart, my last digimon season as a kid and I really loved it (I was officially too old to watch Data Squad since I was a teenager and Digimon was not cool then). Watching all seasons again as an adult, honestly I can confidently say it was the best season, objectively speaking. It has the best story, a complete lore unlike the others, and it has the best ending by far. Adventure will always be my favorite for nostalgia reasons, and of course it started it all. I'll always like Tamers too because it meant a lot to me too back then. But Frontier is up there as well, and again, I say it's the best season and that's a fact.
I think it's sad that Flamemon is the only Kid-Spirit you ever get to see in Frontiers. And that just once. I think they could have done a lot more with the Kid-Spirits
Right?! It’s kinda sad that Flamon and Starbimon are the only fully fleshed out Kid-Spirits, of which only one made it to the show. It’d be interesting to see what the others would’ve looked like.
@@MJAYMONONOKE Well Tinkermon is Kazemon Rookie. I think it would be cool if they just let Kokabuterimon Digivolve to Beetlemon and Bearmon or Spadamon to Kumamon. I chose Bearmon and Spadamon because they look more human like Compared to other Rookies. Not only that Leomon Digivolve to Lowemon. Because Leomon is in Every Season.
That original concept for Frontier reminds me of Digimon Savers was apparently also originally a series about underground illegal Digimon fights between rival gangs of some sort, in fact is well known Savers plot went through a lot of revisions even during it's production which is why the story goes to a different direction later on, Masaru being an street fighter punching was probably a leftover of that idea as well.
Digimon Frontier was a nice departure from the usual formula of Digimon series, and the Legendary Warriors are for sure my favourite group. Wish they could use them again, even just to show us the Hybrid levels for the last four ones.
one word: HIGH to think they believe kids would be okay with bear-yeti hybrid turning into a freakin huge ass penguin with ice shaver for a head, wielding two giant ice lollies
Been sub'd for a little while now, and gotta say, really look forward to these Digimon videos each week. It's so nice to see videos from someone who's not only super passionate but also really knowledgable about Digimon!
Just found your channel and as a huge Digimon fan (and also from the UK too!) I know I'm gonna love it, subscribed! Also would LOVE a season with this concept, almost has a Monster Rancher type feel too, loved that show!!
The original designs are cool and the concept for a battle arena is intriguing. I'd love to see a reboot anime for Frontier with this concept. With all these knowledge you're throwing at us, Karn... I'm suspecting you're secretly Wisemon...
The baggy pants on the concept art for Agunimon/Ifrimon made me think of Marsmon... Maybe the original concept was a straight Rookie to Mega evolution path with Marsmon being the Mega of that line? Btw, I see you like FFX Ifrit, but what do you think of the Magus Sisters? I thought they'd be your favourites from their insect design!
Ooh yeah good point! Haha it's weird, my bug affinity is mainly Digimon but I do love the Magus Sisters! My Aeon ranking from fave to least fave is Anima Bahamut Shiva Yojimbo Valefor Ifrit Magus Sisters Ixion
This whole Human and Digimon fusion/biomerge throughout all levels was a concept that I (And I'm sure many other people had) for yearsss now! Really wish they had done it with frontier. Great video, you're really good at speaking naturally while entertaining the viewer!
Frontier was one of my favorite versions of digimon to date nd alot of these concepts blew me away nd would have really liked to see them incorporated in some way
Gives me futuristic Neo-Cyberpunk vibes where maybe technology is far enough for these Digimon to have a hologram forms and people use them in these tournaments. Kind of like Megaman NT Warrior meets Digimon. ..Which I need now..
I'm not the biggest frontier fan but I loved this video, thought it was really interesting. A lot of those concept arts I've never seen before. That pegasus/sleipnir digimon looked really cool. I know we had Digimon World 3 released around this time and those extra spirit/hybrid digimon who didnt appear on the show but did in the d-scanners. I wonder how much of the digimon in those were based off discarded designs from Frontier.
I would love to see this concept come back as a anime or manga as the concept of human tamers fusing with their Digimon partners sounds like the concept Matrix Digivolution/Biomerge concept from Tamers taken to the next level.
What incredible finds! Thank you for making a video on this! I love the tournament concept for Frontier; I'm disappointed they didn't go this route. I can kinda see why; it is similar to Pokemon. But still; I would've preferred this to the Frontier that we got. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely things I enjoy about Frontier, but the relationships between the humans and their partners is one of the core things I love about Digimon and why Frontier tends to be low on my fav seasons list.
Would love to see a season that's tournament centric like a digimon dark tournament for who will be the ruler of the digi world. Then get cameos from ryu and taichi
I love this can you imagine just like a giant artbook full of just protot-ype Digimon concepts and art that would be heavenly. Also the unreleased Digivice give me Xros wars vibes Red(Shoutmon's army) Blue(Kiriha's army) Black( Bahgra Army) not to mention all 3 a different waring factions with the main gimmick being new types of fusion .
I'm glad your toddler says "digivolve to-!" as well as "execute" or else I might believe she was trying to incite a violent revolution in your living room.
As a Digimon and FF fan myself, i love how you put sepiroth when sepirothmon mentioned. Sepiroth with sepirothmon as digimon partners actually kinda good together, looking how sinister they both are.
That's what Digimon Savers/Data Squad tried to pull off when it was released back in 2006. The main cast ranging from a teenager to an early adult (Marcus, Yoshi and Thomas respectively). Mixing heavier dramas that took place in the Digital World because a group of humans tried to explore the world. But yes, I too would love to see an ACTUAL adult partnering with a Digimon and shows more weight into the story that they're being placed in.
@@BryonYoungblood Yep but honestly though, the characters in Cyber Sleuth or Digimo World Next Order could be a refreshing feat to be featured as animated lead cast. That said, are we still playing the Digimon Survive waiting game? 😂 There's no updates or news circulating about the game eversince, right?
@@ielastrika Yeah. Not too surprising if Bandai Namco is playing the waiting game here,.. but you would think we'd get something new regarding Digimon Survive by now.
I like Frontier a lot thanks to the evolution idea, which I really like to do. LOL BTW, I never expect to see the early designs and its story plot look so cool than the final designs/plot. I like the early idea more the the final, thanks to you!
I think they could do a new digimon frontier or sequel and use the original idea because due to how animation has grown I'm sure they could make it alot nicer call it digimon arena something simple like that
8:00 Marsmon was also the Final Evolution for Bearmon/Kumamon in Digimon World 3 game for psx. Bearmon, Guilimon, and Agumon being the cover art digimon for the series.
It is funny how anything that ISN'T the anime has had the arena idea, games, manga, etc. All in all it reminds me a lot of the Chaotic series and how I SORELY wish more franchises would explore that idea. Imagine if YuGiOh decided to dip their toes in it. YES I'm aware they technically already did with two seasons (I think) in a virtual world but I don't feel like it counts.
Frontier was one of my favorites story wise, however I felt the story was a little rushed halfway through. I think a reboot using an extended main story with maybe using some of these original concepts would be wild.
I think a lot of these concept designs are better than the final versions we ended up with. And I don't hate the final version... except for the bear... but I really like these concept designs... especially the one that would eventually become a bear... some how...
I would like to see a Rookie level for all 10 (I think there are 10 total) Spirit digimon too! I first saw Flamemon in Digimon: Battle Arena 2. Good times
I would have liked this concept waaaay more. I hated Frontier as a kid because the bond between Tamers and their Digimon was one of my favorite aspects. Getting rid of that just killed the magic for me.
I've heard a few of your videos you mention funbeenmon you can always use one of those armored beetle digimon as a personal head cannon armor digivolution for him. Just need to figure out what digimental you would give him to evolve him to the one you chose lol.
If you're interested in seeing more of the rookie forms of the spirits, there's a fan comic online called Digimon: Frontier ReBirth. Basically after the events of frontier, the spirits are summoned back to face off against the 7 Demon Lords, who are back after the destruction of Lucimon. But something happened and the darkness spirit is split. And the story follows the rookie of Loweemon, geopardmon as they travel and meet the other rookies. Most of which being fan made and looking great. It's originally of Tumblr. But there is a posting of it on AO3, so pick and choose which you prefer. But I would highly recommend it.
So... this is just my idea I randomly had while watching this, but judging by the names of those different digivice and the basis being factions at war, I think it might be that each device combines a Human and Digimon in a different way with different levels of control: Hyper: The human becomes a power-up/booster for the Digimon. The Digimon is in full control and the human is just along for the ride. Fusion: The human and Digimon combine as one (like Bio-Merging). Control is shared between equals. Armor: The Digimon becomes like a suit of armor the human wears. The human calls all the shots and uses the Digimon's power.
I love Digimon Frontier, my favorite cast and adventure Don't get me wrong, Tamers is an epic story, my favorite digimon are Lopmon and Antylamon, but Frontier is so good 😅 Oh, dude, that tease at the end
There were those 4 kids that were being protected by an Angemon that the Digidestined ran into that could have been great candidates for those spirits. I'm sure most people who watched that episode probably thought that was going to happen.
It's so unusual to find anything to do with Frontier but here I find this channel having several that I've already seen and possibly more. Which makes me sad cause Frontier feels like the least favourite Digimon season but to me it was the most unique and honestly my favourite.
They are avilable Rihinimon for good darkness fusion The purple penguin in the underwater see is the mega evolution of Kumamon Jetselphimon for wind RhinoKabuterimon for thunder
This was super interesting damn. It seems they used that arena game idea in Digimon Next but that too only lasted all of 5 minutes in that manga. And that factions warring thing reminded me of xros wars, so maybe there's still hope someone may pickup the tournament concept and put it in an anime
Well season 4 may not be my favorite season but it is cool to hear about somethings that never got used in the final product. Most of those other designs looked really cool and I was shocked when I saw Neemon in Digimon adventure 2020 lol. Still nice video with those ideas but now I am imagining Sephiroth popping up in Frontier lol.
You should do a video on more concepts from other Digimon seasons! Like how Impmon was going to be the main Digimon for Tamers before they decided on Guilmon. :D
would be nice to have a season of battles in a tournament like something big each year but this time the sponsors are evil and it's a trap to scan the best digimon to create a monster or revive one of the demon lords one that we didn't see so much before
The Kumamon with the rabbit ears makes a lot of sense as a pre-evolution to the Beast Spirit Korikakumon but I can see how you could say it is human enough

Ooh yeah good shout!
Would love to see a series take on the concept of Digimon fighting in a battle arena, especially playing with the concept of AR and VR games.
Like digimon next?
Digimon Frontier was a nice departure from the usual formula of Digimon series, and the Legendary Warriors are for sure my favourite group. Wish they could use them again, even just to show us the Hybrid levels for the last four ones.
I agree!
A Digimon battle stadium would work for an anime series based on VR technology.
Since VR technology in Digimon has worked really well for the plots of Cyber Slueth and Hacker's Memory, I strongly second this suggestion!
Its already been done in the Digimon Next Manga
If only JP could have gotten the spirit of wind and become a thicc Kazemon.
😂
That sounds so cursed yet so fucking cool
And Zoe as a skinny femme beetlemon
No i need to see this
Why are we still here. Just to suffer
The Frontier concept art is really cool! Plus, I love the concept of humans merging with Digimon in a battle style tournament.
Yeah I really wish they'd revisit that idea!
yeah I like this idea a lot. for me the appeal in the digimon anime is seeing people bond with monsters instead of becoming them with 0 bond
Kokabuterimon could be rookie form of Blitzmon.
And, what the creators think when they created Daipenmon?
one word: HIGH
to think they believe kids would be okay with bear-yeti hybrid turning into a freakin huge ass penguin with ice shaver for a head, wielding two giant ice lollies
They really did Junpei dirty. That red and black beetle boy would have been a killer double spirit evolution
Oh my God your right
Bro! I wouldn't be mad if you dabbled in FF lore with this level of uniqueness.

Why...did that Sephiroth flying across the screen make me jump up slightly like a freaking jumpscare lmao
Haha I'm sorry!
The original designs are cool and the concept for a battle arena is intriguing. I'd love to see a reboot anime for Frontier with this concept. With all these knowledge you're throwing at us, Karn... I'm suspecting you're secretly Wisemon...
A reboot with completely different evolutions for everyone!
Wooah snap I can already tell this is gonna be an Ultimate level video 😆

8:18 That totally has to be some sort of beta form of Kentarusmon considering that the Royal Knights Crusadermon and Dynastmon where in frontiers.
They said the design went unused rather than becoming Kentaurusmon so maybe a matching pair with Kentaurusmon?
@@Karn_EX Maybe it could have been an ultimate form for Kentarusmon and Maildramon?
Ok, now I really want a season where humans always bond with the Digimon to achieve a evolution
Me too! Would be really cool!
Megan ZX is awesome. There's an armor idea for ya. The armors could be like BioMetals based on Adventure 01 & 02 DigiMon, used by people.

I lost it with We Bear Bears "Chakkumon", good video!
This channel is underrated! Quality uploads!
Much appreciated!
Digimon Frontier sounds a lot like Chaotix. I'm not knocking it. Chaotix was a great idea, especially for card battle games.
You knove that chaotix is in sonic saga right?
8:56 actually this should be Patamon’s armored digivolution of hope instead of that strange boxing fish
My 3 year old loves frontier she even says "execute"...she also tries to spin in a circle saying "digivolve to"
I'm glad your toddler says "digivolve to-!" as well as "execute" or else I might believe she was trying to incite a violent revolution in your living room.
She also says momentai
As a Digimon and FF fan myself, i love how you put sepiroth when sepirothmon mentioned.
Sepiroth with sepirothmon as digimon partners actually kinda good together, looking how sinister they both are.
I'd love to see digivice concept art. Just a big thick book of it
so thats why frontier feels so different, when tamers already feels dark, frontier try to be more toyish in design perspective.
I would like to see adults being Tamers in the cartoon. They wouldn't have to be main characters.

I’ve never watched Frontier, but I love this idea.
I would like to see a Rookie level for all 10 (I think there are 10 total) Spirit digimon too! I first saw Flamemon in Digimon: Battle Arena 2. Good times
if they brought back this concept and these digimon I would be so happy
That unused Borgmon design should've been JP's fusion spirit.
I'll call it Raibeetmon
Damn this was rad. Thanks again, Karn! Hopefully we get some beta assets for Tamers or Savers some day.
Thanks for watching!
I would love to get a Anime like the Digimon World 2000 Game. There you could also turn Digimon at one point. XD
A digimon tournament arc would be cool.
7:34 just cracked me up. It was so funny XD
I would have liked this concept waaaay more. I hated Frontier as a kid because the bond between Tamers and their Digimon was one of my favorite aspects. Getting rid of that just killed the magic for me.
This original concept looks like Chaotic
I feel so lost only watching a few seasons of the anime and only playing the cyber sleuth and hacker memory. I am way outclassed.
Cyber Sleuth should have been season six
Totally awesome - love it
I've heard a few of your videos you mention funbeenmon you can always use one of those armored beetle digimon as a personal head cannon armor digivolution for him. Just need to figure out what digimental you would give him to evolve him to the one you chose lol.
If you're interested in seeing more of the rookie forms of the spirits, there's a fan comic online called Digimon: Frontier ReBirth. Basically after the events of frontier, the spirits are summoned back to face off against the 7 Demon Lords, who are back after the destruction of Lucimon. But something happened and the darkness spirit is split. And the story follows the rookie of Loweemon, geopardmon as they travel and meet the other rookies. Most of which being fan made and looking great. It's originally of Tumblr. But there is a posting of it on AO3, so pick and choose which you prefer. But I would highly recommend it.
So... this is just my idea I randomly had while watching this, but judging by the names of those different digivice and the basis being factions at war, I think it might be that each device combines a Human and Digimon in a different way with different levels of control:
Hyper: The human becomes a power-up/booster for the Digimon. The Digimon is in full control and the human is just along for the ride.
Fusion: The human and Digimon combine as one (like Bio-Merging). Control is shared between equals.
Armor: The Digimon becomes like a suit of armor the human wears. The human calls all the shots and uses the Digimon's power.
Honestly, I like this concept more. I always liked the idea of Biomerging and the earlier designs look more cool in my opinion
I love Digimon Frontier, my favorite cast and adventure
Don't get me wrong, Tamers is an epic story, my favorite digimon are Lopmon and Antylamon, but Frontier is so good 😅
Oh, dude, that tease at the end
Does guy are o2 digimon
What are the odds, I was just looking through all of this on WtW and Wikimon an hour ago 😅 needs to be implemented into a new show
Haha coinkydink!
Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal spirits make decent slot for Digidestined OCs here
There were those 4 kids that were being protected by an Angemon that the Digidestined ran into that could have been great candidates for those spirits. I'm sure most people who watched that episode probably thought that was going to happen.
It's so unusual to find anything to do with Frontier but here I find this channel having several that I've already seen and possibly more. Which makes me sad cause Frontier feels like the least favourite Digimon season but to me it was the most unique and honestly my favourite.
I loved this!! Thank you!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Frontier is my favorite Digimon series and I would love to see another anime based on the idea of the chosen children merging with Digimon
I want to know what the other kids fusion evolutions would have been
They are avilable
Rihinimon for good darkness fusion
The purple penguin in the underwater see is the mega evolution of Kumamon
Jetselphimon for wind
RhinoKabuterimon for thunder
This was super interesting damn. It seems they used that arena game idea in Digimon Next but that too only lasted all of 5 minutes in that manga. And that factions warring thing reminded me of xros wars, so maybe there's still hope someone may pickup the tournament concept and put it in an anime
The idea sounds cool I’d give it a chance. I actually liked the frontier story were they could transform into Digimon
Thank God these were scrapped or altered. The final concepts are perfect.
The tournament and "human merging with Digimon" concept reminds me a lot of Chaotic.
Well season 4 may not be my favorite season but it is cool to hear about somethings that never got used in the final product. Most of those other designs looked really cool and I was shocked when I saw Neemon in Digimon adventure 2020 lol. Still nice video with those ideas but now I am imagining Sephiroth popping up in Frontier lol.
Haha for real, thanks for watching!
@@Karn_EX No problem!
re arise also have a stadium and yes it does bring other characters like tai markus etc
You should do a video on more concepts from other Digimon seasons! Like how Impmon was going to be the main Digimon for Tamers before they decided on Guilmon. :D
so basically smt digital devil saga but with db stadium tropes
would be nice to have a season of battles in a tournament like something big each year but this time the sponsors are evil and it's a trap to scan the best digimon to create a monster or revive one of the demon lords one that we didn't see so much before
More interested in that Pokemon space thing u talked about
The Kumamon with the rabbit ears makes a lot of sense as a pre-evolution to the Beast Spirit Korikakumon but I can see how you could say it is human enough
8:00 Probably a good reason not to use the "Scanners" name is what comes up on a google search of "scanners."
Hah, true. Digimon exploding heads let's goooo
