So I guess Pegasusmon X, Rhinomon X and Rapidmon X just... aren't considered Armor Level? Which is why they aren't on the list? Anyway give Rhinomon X and Rapidmon X both B lol
I feel like you were. Bit forgiving with some of those armors. Some in A, B and C should shpuls probably have been moved down a bracket just due to not quite being the best representations of armor evolutions for their digimon. But otherwise a great video. Really with Bandai would grab a few fans and youtubers like you to consult on design and story for any up coming series. Especially your and your team's input for designs. You guys don't really miss.
@silvierslayer6262 i was soo surprised he put it on A tier when he is absolutely majestic, by far surpass the original Pegasusmon, and is one of the best armors imo (probably very close to be the best)
Honestly, it feels like they were originally planning on having the Digi-Eggs be used by all the kids, and since Davis is the gogglehead of the season, they designed his first, before scrapping the idea entirely.
Veemon and Shoutmon are both good foundations made to be built upon. When designing toys based around the digieggs I wouldn't be surprised if they used Veemon as reference since he's both the poster boy of that season and basic in design the way they made all the toys for Digimon Xros first before they made a show. That's my theory anyway.
Here's my little amour conspiracy theory that I'm surprised no one has brought up. I think it's likely that some of the non-anime armoured mons like Mambomon, Togemorumon, Thunderbirdmon, etc, were originally rejected designs that were repurposed. It might explain why they're so inconsistent with either the Digimon they evolve from or the Digi-egg/Digimental they're associated with.
Might also have been that they were designed for the purpose, but weren't finished in time before they gave up the push on Armor digimon and switched to Jogress.
It's weird how Patamon should be so easy to design to (just make the body underneath the armor orange and the wing ears show), but it has some of the worst or most nonsensical armor evolutions. I'm really waiting for the next armor fixing videos, they are what brought me to the channel in the first place!
Hey Karn, currently downloading this for my lunch break tomorrow. Thanks for getting me back into Digimon dude. Ive been watching your stuff for the past year, and i dont comment much, but just know you've had an impact on my life. Keep it up =)
My favorite armor is Coatlmon because I love Aztec mythology. And with the release of Tlalocmon I hope we will see more Aztec based digimon in the future.
What I kind of love about Digimon evos is that it's great when alot of them make sense, but others just don't make any sense at all, and in my head I think that's just the digital world trying to make sense of data on the internet that we all know alot of it doesn't make sense at all. 😂
For sure! I think it's specifically Armors that set very clear rules in the show, it annoys me when Digimon creative is inconsistent with it more than anything, conventional Digivolution go crazy lol
@5:34 I think it could be a Ponyta/Rapidash situation where depending how much Lynxmon trusts it’s tamer, the flames will not hurt them when riding it as a mount.
My fav's are flarewizardmon (love the giant match sticks) and gargoylemon (very unique holy digimon design) Its crazy how armor digimon have so many amazing bug designs but I wish there were more lines that they could fit in. We need more bug digimon!
So I've had this thought for a while, but I feel like a lot of people judge Armors based on Veemon's patterns, and kind of assume all Armors follow it because Halsemon and Digmon SEEM to as well. It doesn't help that Pegasusmon and Nefertimon copy it wholesale. What I'm getting at is (and this is in reference to the show, not all Armors) Veemon wears the eggs as actual Armor. This can also been seen with Paildramon who is ExVeemon wearing Stingmon as armor, but Hawkmon seems to have a very organic, physical transformation with little armor involved, hence why Halsemon only has the helmet, Shurimon is unrecognizable, and Silphymon is a perfect blend of the elements of Aquilamon and Gatomon. Then Armadillomon is JUST armor, with almost no elements of him being shown through apart from the ears and eyes, which can also be seen in Shakkoumon where its Ankylomon wrapped entirely in armor motifed from Angemon. All of the themes seen in the show's Armors are then evolved when we get to the DNAs, which is why it always sits a little weird with me when Hawkmon gets a little brunted in these discussions. That being said, I still really enjoy the re-imagining series as giving everyone Veemon's theme, as it's the most visually striking (and the designs are great). Also, to throw a little what-if-ery in here, since Wormmon doesn't have an in-show theming, going off of Paildramon, I always thought it'd be cool if perhaps the DigiMentals became the Digimon, and Wormmon became the armor for them. Might explore that concept myself when my art skills improve a bit.
I’m kind of amazed how many of the points you made in this video I said 3 seconds before you did, like a lot of the armours being more fitting to other Digimon and such. We have like 90% the same opinion about these! I’d have cried if you hadn’t put Nefertimon in S tier haha 😂 top video Karn! Much love from Blackpool
Sethmon is also really cool as a kind of anti Holsamon. Since in Egyptian Mythology Set and Horus the inspiration for the two Digimon are arch nemesis to each other. Uncle and Nephew rivalry. Think Scar and Simba from the Lion King.
The connection for Armadillomon and Seahomon is real sea horses are incredibly armored, they are like 80% bone and armor with just barely enough meat for them to move.
Tbh a fun idea for a custom art video would be like a different take on existing digimon. Like what if owlmon was still an owl, but it wasn’t a crest of love digimon? What is searchmon was like a search and rescue digimon? What if rosemon was more of just a plant?
Completely agree sepicmon is a horrible armor but i really love him as a Digimon. To be fair I love monkeys and boomerangs so putting them together is fantastic to melol
Great video man. I think Raidramon and Magnamon(both forms) are my favorite Armor digimon. I will point out in the Digimon: Digital Card Battle game Raidramon is a Darkness Digimon, while Magnamon is Fire.
Some of these I would have never thought were armor digivolutions, including toucanmon, who I encountered in a game as one. I for real thought they were a regular digimon shoehorned into armor since it wasn't made with Hawkmon's usual egg.😅
The reason i dislike every courage armor with exception of flamedramon,shadramon,and allomon is because themeing dragons or dinosaurs and fire yet armadillo becomes a fucking boar and the other courage armor just don’t satisfy me but i don’t what to change them because creature design is good but limited also really good vid keep up the great work
@@Karn_EX I am kinda Disapointed you did not add GrandisKuwagamon Honeybee mode But i understand because he Is 1. Not armor level 2. It's More Grandiskuwagamon than HoneyBeemon
I wish they would use more of the armour mon in the video games, I know digimon world 2003 used them a little bit but that’s really only because the game came out at around the airing of the 02 anime I just had no idea some of these were armour mon
For a wormon Evo, I think Archellomon works well in concept. A big with an exoskeleton becoming an aquatic Shelled creature works pretty well, plus the antenna. I think the colors are a bit…messy. The pink green and grey all fight for attention, and the pink could’ve been swapped for orange or a lighter grey maybe.
Seriously I would love for you to do a video with the antibodies becoming the digivolution line to the Digimon and then creating an entire line for them
So, I like your opinions on this even if I don't fully agree with it. I think the one thing you kinda over looked is that there are 2 themes for Hope the way Friendship has 3 themes going on for it (Spikes/Thunder/Ice). For Hope you have "constellations, or ungulates." That is to say, hoofed animals. If you keep that in mind instead, Moosemon fits perfectly. I agree completely though the Kindness Armor evolutions are so bizarre and don't even have a consistency to themselves beyond "cute." I also agree that Allomon is good, and Hawkmon-coded but it's not an armor Digimon. I also think swapping Rhinomon & Elephantmon they would fit much better. This also made me realize how bad all of Armadillomon's armor evolutions are. They're just kinda bad all around.
Hey Karn!! Some interesting video ideas for you. What if the Adventure 1 digimon received burst mode? What if the Adventure 1 mega digimon had beast/human forms? Like Seraphimon to Goldramon or Ophanimon to Magnadramon, etc...
@ 20:23 You can kinda see part of the Love Crest near the base of the Fin. Yeah, I’m kinda in the same boat. Mambamon is good, but not as a Patamon Evo. Plus, Davis and Kari are better for switching Digi-Eggs.
Veemon really got the best armor forms and Patamon got the worst armor forms. Pegasmon and Nefertimon are perfect pair, Mantaraymon and Tylomon are perfect pair, but Manbomon and Goatmon, as a pair, are so... weird. I have a little theory - Armadimon and Patamon got screwed up in light armor evolution because they are jogress partners. I really like armor digimon, but I don't like their treatment in franchise, namely anime and manga - they often used as minor villain who everyone will forget for five minutes. And, they weren't used in Tri, Kizuna and Beginning.
So I already forgot the name and am to lazy to go back lol but, the bat patamon with the love armor could be a reference to the saying "love is blind". Just a theory. A FILM THEORY! (Alright I'll leave) good video man!
If not Hawkmon, I'd argue that Thunderbirdmon would be a good friendship digivolution for other rookie-tier bird Digimon such as Biyomon or especially Falcomon.
Also, I'm still put off by the fact that Sethmon doesn't look like he can fly. Even Pipismon, for how little he resembles an armor digivolution, can still fly.
I know custom art is pricy but we still are missing so much here. When you're able to, I'd love to see the resign project finally cover the Sincerity, Destiny, Hope, and Light
It's always weird how because we already had 2 vaguely holy digimentals, we then have Miracles and Destiny being more vaguely metal/machine themed (machine itself being a theme in Armadillomon armors possibly building off him already having a shell). Its a shame how many armors work well but somehow have their additions not matching the colors.
I have a theory that elaphamon and rhinomon were swapped at some point. Elaphamon's flight ears and more white color scheme just feels more like a patamon with his wing ears and lighter underside. Rhinomon also feels tougher, more armored and more distinctly ground elemented and much more fitting for Armadillomon than patamon.
@@Karn_EX They're literally all ungulates though. Only two are specifically named after constellations. Three could be possibly considered constellation-themed, but at that point you might as well be calling everything that shares a theme with a constellation constellation-themed. Moosemon as you said in the video fits very flimsily into the constellation theme. But all six of them are based on ungulates, with the exception of maybe Sagitarimon which instead is based on a half-ungulate instead of a full ungulate.
They may all be ungulates but the theme of Pegasusmon is definitely constellations and Greek myth. From his design to his moveset. If some Hope Armors aren't that theme that doesn't mean the theme is ungulates, it means the clear theme of Pegasusmon was misinterpreted lol
Hm, nice list, i wonder if we’ll get any new Armors that would effect this Ranking somewhat? Anyway, fair points and opinions, i wonder have you fixed all of the Armors at this?
Tbh I’m very curious how many armor digimon were actually designed as armor digimon. The original 02 armors + shadramon, Sethmon, and Sagitarimon were clearly designed with the intent of being armors, in some form or another, but the rest just seem like standalone digimon. I’m very curious is they were actually intended to be armor digimon, or if they were just randomly picked armor evolutions when the pre evo needed a digivolution
I'm kind of curious how digimon would handle making X antibody forms for something like Mambomon or Pucchimon. Be an interesting challenge if BandaiNamco decides to revisit the X antibody gimmick on a larger scale again in the future.
27:43 I can see Armadillomon's shell in the chest, but I think it would be better if all the armour was gold and it was Armadillomon with the Digi-egg of Destiny.
The real killer with Mambomon is they used a SUNfish with the digiarmor of light, and that’s what we got? I wouldn’t even mind if Patamon turned into a fish, though I’d probably go more the koi or beta route to preserve the angelic/feathery armor. But the fact that the light pun is right there and they gave us a “reliability armor at home” is so disappointing.
If I'm not mistaken, Moosemon is actually used a Friendship armor for something on the Gaomon tree in Data Squad. I think from Gabumon, but it's been a while so I'm not 100%
@Karn_EX huh. That is wild. Coulda sworn it was, but I just looked it up. Guess I just assumed it was when I younger cause I saw Gabumon + Armor and never paid attention past that
Impmon should be able to armor into Fla Wizardmon since Wizardmon has since been made part of its line. It would also justify Nohemon a bit. Also I would either swap Elephamon and Rhinomon or have Armadillomon and Patamon be able to evolve into either of depending on whether they use the Digimental of Miracles or the Digimental of Fate.
I think agree with a lot of of your ranking and I think some Of them should be Switched around like ThunderBirdmon should be Hawkmon with Friendship armour Stegomon should be Armadillomon’s Friendship Armour as they are both anicent Creatures Moosemon or Rinkmon should be Patamon with Friendship armour Chemeleonmon should be Wormmon with Sincerity armour Mambamon should be Reliability armour and I think Allomon could work as an Agumon Courge Armour.
You keep mentioning about the divining resembling the digiegg, but I suspect that the design process was the reverse, that they designed the eggs to match the digimon they were to be in the show. That would rather neatly explain why most of these don't really match the egg.
Also(apologies for the multiposting, I'm reacting in real time while I watch, I'm not too bothered that the digivolutions don't match the digimon they come from, because, with Digimon, its really only the Partner Digimon or majorly important ones that have a single coherent line that makes sense. Remember, in lore, any digimon can theoretically digivolve into anything else.
Persona 3 released recently, maybe you could do a vid of what the evolution line of the main crew's persona cause they look like mega digimon to me lol
Magnamon is S. I have spoken. PS: The whole Golden Digimental situation made me think that, among all the nobody Digimon, if canon Deltamon had never existed, Rapidmon Gold could have taken that title.
The Ultimate Attack of Magnamon is Extreme Jizahad(or around that)... a f-king KAMIZAKZE ATTACK! HAVIN HIS X-ANTIBODY BEING "EGDIER" kinda fits... I would put in A since its an ARMOR ranking tier list and magnamon-X fits the quota ... Magnamon Gold digizoid thing there.... is that an XVeemon from X-Wars that learned how to turn into Gold after seeing Shoutmon evolves and then it armr digivolves into this magnamon?... I can let it be AN SS TIER! THE MIRACLE DIGI EGG IS CHUNKY AND THIS DESIGN IS CHUNKY AS WELL!
you know it be cool if chaosgallantmon got a dna digivolution with dobrickmon that creates a mode change similar to gallantmoncm but would unique looking , also why no orangegallantmon or a unique gallantmon form also it be cool to get a omnimon like dna evo for samudramon or one for brigdramon with fenierlouggamon also imperladramon fightermode black needs a dna like maybe with malomyotismon
So I guess Pegasusmon X, Rhinomon X and Rapidmon X just... aren't considered Armor Level? Which is why they aren't on the list? Anyway give Rhinomon X and Rapidmon X both B lol
I feel like you were. Bit forgiving with some of those armors. Some in A, B and C should shpuls probably have been moved down a bracket just due to not quite being the best representations of armor evolutions for their digimon. But otherwise a great video.

I would’ve put Pegasusmon X at least low S, mainly cuz I know you won’t put him that high
@silvierslayer6262 i was soo surprised he put it on A tier when he is absolutely majestic, by far surpass the original Pegasusmon, and is one of the best armors imo (probably very close to be the best)
You can really tell how much they loved the Veemon Armors.
YUP
Honestly, it feels like they were originally planning on having the Digi-Eggs be used by all the kids, and since Davis is the gogglehead of the season, they designed his first, before scrapping the idea entirely.
That's my theory too!
And how much they hated Patamon armors
Veemon and Shoutmon are both good foundations made to be built upon. When designing toys based around the digieggs I wouldn't be surprised if they used Veemon as reference since he's both the poster boy of that season and basic in design the way they made all the toys for Digimon Xros first before they made a show. That's my theory anyway.
Poor Patamon really got the short end of the stick with Armour evolutions
It really did :(
Here's my little amour conspiracy theory that I'm surprised no one has brought up. I think it's likely that some of the non-anime armoured mons like Mambomon, Togemorumon, Thunderbirdmon, etc, were originally rejected designs that were repurposed. It might explain why they're so inconsistent with either the Digimon they evolve from or the Digi-egg/Digimental they're associated with.
Maybe related but Some d3 sprites were based on earlier designs so Manbomon didnt even have arms
Might also have been that they were designed for the purpose, but weren't finished in time before they gave up the push on Armor digimon and switched to Jogress.
Armor digimon is such an awesome idea in digimon and I wish it was acknowledged more by some of the older seasons. Glad it got some outings in 2020
Agreed!
There were tons of Armor digimon in Frontier
I feel like they almost forgot about it after the Digimon Emperor arc...
17:39 I felt so validated to hear you say Frogmon looks like an Agumon evolution. I've thought that myself for a long time!
Frogumon
Honestly, there was another obvious solution too... Betamon!
It's weird how Patamon should be so easy to design to (just make the body underneath the armor orange and the wing ears show), but it has some of the worst or most nonsensical armor evolutions.
I'm really waiting for the next armor fixing videos, they are what brought me to the channel in the first place!
Karn: I ranked every armor digimon
Me: and i will watch evey second of this video because you did that, good sir
Ayyyy thank you!
Hey Karn, currently downloading this for my lunch break tomorrow. Thanks for getting me back into Digimon dude. Ive been watching your stuff for the past year, and i dont comment much, but just know you've had an impact on my life. Keep it up =)
Aww wow, thank you so much, that's a lovely comment! Hope you keep enjoying Digimon and hope work goes smoothly tomorrow!
My favorite armor is Coatlmon because I love Aztec mythology. And with the release of Tlalocmon I hope we will see more Aztec based digimon in the future.
I really wish we could see more of the digi-egg of darkness. It has the opportunity for all sorts of things since we know so little about it.

@@Karn_EX I'm with you there, the Armours have clear patterns that should have been followed more. Also I vote for more armour Digimon!
@5:34 I think it could be a Ponyta/Rapidash situation where depending how much Lynxmon trusts it’s tamer, the flames will not hurt them when riding it as a mount.
My fav's are flarewizardmon (love the giant match sticks) and gargoylemon (very unique holy digimon design)
Its crazy how armor digimon have so many amazing bug designs but I wish there were more lines that they could fit in. We need more bug digimon!
So I've had this thought for a while, but I feel like a lot of people judge Armors based on Veemon's patterns, and kind of assume all Armors follow it because Halsemon and Digmon SEEM to as well. It doesn't help that Pegasusmon and Nefertimon copy it wholesale. What I'm getting at is (and this is in reference to the show, not all Armors) Veemon wears the eggs as actual Armor. This can also been seen with Paildramon who is ExVeemon wearing Stingmon as armor, but Hawkmon seems to have a very organic, physical transformation with little armor involved, hence why Halsemon only has the helmet, Shurimon is unrecognizable, and Silphymon is a perfect blend of the elements of Aquilamon and Gatomon. Then Armadillomon is JUST armor, with almost no elements of him being shown through apart from the ears and eyes, which can also be seen in Shakkoumon where its Ankylomon wrapped entirely in armor motifed from Angemon.

I do hope you will finish the fixing the armor digivolution, cause I really enjoyed seeing what you and the aritist came up with for the "fixes"

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, NOTIFICATION SQUAD REAL ONES! This took so long to record 😅
Wow, Not even mentioning Rhinomon X ... but yes, there are a ton of Armors😂
Sethmon is also really cool as a kind of anti Holsamon. Since in Egyptian Mythology Set and Horus the inspiration for the two Digimon are arch nemesis to each other. Uncle and Nephew rivalry. Think Scar and Simba from the Lion King.
Ooooh love that connection
FlameWizardmon has given me a great video idea Karn - elemental variants of Wizardmon using the eggs as a basis.
The connection for Armadillomon and Seahomon is real sea horses are incredibly armored, they are like 80% bone and armor with just barely enough meat for them to move.
Yeah but why is it a Light armor lol
@@Karn_EXWell sea horses represent good luck and peace, could be these "light" themes.
Definitely would definitely like to see a ranking of the digieggs from strongest to weakest
I really love that FlaWizardmon's staff is a match. It fits the theming really well and it's a fun little touch.
Love the content man
Tbh a fun idea for a custom art video would be like a different take on existing digimon. Like what if owlmon was still an owl, but it wasn’t a crest of love digimon? What is searchmon was like a search and rescue digimon? What if rosemon was more of just a plant?
Completely agree sepicmon is a horrible armor but i really love him as a Digimon. To be fair I love monkeys and boomerangs so putting them together is fantastic to melol
Pteranomon X is the Love of WAR! LOL!
There's a whole video idea where you shuffle around the armors to move them to more appropriate crests & base digimon in here somewhere...
Great video man.
I think Raidramon and Magnamon(both forms) are my favorite Armor digimon.
I will point out in the Digimon: Digital Card Battle game Raidramon is a Darkness Digimon, while Magnamon is Fire.
More videos with the Terramon voice please, lol. Great video.
Thunderbirdmon not being an armor for Hawk but being able to digivolve from Hawk normally makes sense but is also such a slap in the face 😭
Some of these I would have never thought were armor digivolutions, including toucanmon, who I encountered in a game as one. I for real thought they were a regular digimon shoehorned into armor since it wasn't made with Hawkmon's usual egg.😅
Love this vid Karn!
If the anime could show a kid riding Meramon I'm sure lynxmon would be fine. Maybe it's similar to how Rapidash works in Pokemon
Omg your background is starting to looks so cool 🥹
I've always liked all the armor eggs but knowledge, courage, and hope have always been my top (especially hope I'm a big mythology fan)
Pucchiemon looks like it should be the mascot of Jollibee
The reason i dislike every courage armor with exception of flamedramon,shadramon,and allomon is because themeing dragons or dinosaurs and fire yet armadillo becomes a fucking boar and the other courage armor just don’t satisfy me but i don’t what to change them because creature design is good but limited also really good vid keep up the great work
Take a shot every time Karn says Digiegg
Great video makes me want to watch all the fix videos again too
4:39 flaming wizard!
It is very good with fire
Very good
CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH.
I hope I agree lmao
Haha hope you enjoy! No worries if we do disagree!
@@Karn_EX I am kinda Disapointed you did not add GrandisKuwagamon Honeybee mode But i understand because he Is
1. Not armor level
2. It's More Grandiskuwagamon than HoneyBeemon

Man, armor digimon were such a cool idea
They should really revisit them
I personally see Nohemon as more of a Falcomon armor. I know that wasn't the original intent but it's so good.
Great video, rank spirit evolution next please
Coming soon!
Togemogumon is my favorite. Absolutely love the design
So, I like your opinions on this even if I don't fully agree with it. I think the one thing you kinda over looked is that there are 2 themes for Hope the way Friendship has 3 themes going on for it (Spikes/Thunder/Ice). For Hope you have "constellations, or ungulates."

@ 20:23
You can kinda see part of the Love Crest near the base of the Fin.
Yeah, I’m kinda in the same boat. Mambamon is good, but not as a Patamon Evo.
Plus, Davis and Kari are better for switching Digi-Eggs.
Veemon really got the best armor forms and Patamon got the worst armor forms.
Pegasmon and Nefertimon are perfect pair, Mantaraymon and Tylomon are perfect pair, but Manbomon and Goatmon, as a pair, are so... weird.

Also, I'm still put off by the fact that Sethmon doesn't look like he can fly. Even Pipismon, for how little he resembles an armor digivolution, can still fly.
flybeemon is my favorite armour digivolution, i even use it in a red insect evo line with tentomon, megakabuterimon and banchostingmon
Lol you were very generous with some of these xD.
Theory, kindness evolution represents childlike Innocence that was once lost but was found again with fighting and bravery
the house is really coming together
Thanks bud!
I know custom art is pricy but we still are missing so much here. When you're able to, I'd love to see the resign project finally cover the Sincerity, Destiny, Hope, and Light
It's always weird how because we already had 2 vaguely holy digimentals, we then have Miracles and Destiny being more vaguely metal/machine themed (machine itself being a theme in Armadillomon armors possibly building off him already having a shell). Its a shame how many armors work well but somehow have their additions not matching the colors.
I can’t lie- Flamedramon should be higher S with Rapidmon! But overall I love this list.
The thumbnail is giving "YOU MEAN THE CHAOS EMERALDS"
😂
So when are we going to get another armor "fixing" video? I'm waiting to binge the whole series
Poor patamon got SO shafted. Even the hope egg looks lame.
Yasyamon is my favorite, love it's design
loved this vid!!!
So glad!
I have a theory that elaphamon and rhinomon were swapped at some point. Elaphamon's flight ears and more white color scheme just feels more like a patamon with his wing ears and lighter underside. Rhinomon also feels tougher, more armored and more distinctly ground elemented and much more fitting for Armadillomon than patamon.
"Hope digi armor are all based on constellations"
Possible, but I think the main theme here is ungulates.
The main theme is definitely constellations and Greek myth lol Pegasus, Sagittarius, the ungulate link is secondary for sure
@@Karn_EXGoatmon is a really weird reference to Lupin the 3rd Castle of Cagillisto or whatever
@@Karn_EX They're literally all ungulates though. Only two are specifically named after constellations.

They may all be ungulates but the theme of Pegasusmon is definitely constellations and Greek myth. From his design to his moveset. If some Hope Armors aren't that theme that doesn't mean the theme is ungulates, it means the clear theme of Pegasusmon was misinterpreted lol
Veemon was clearly the designers' favorite
Hm, nice list, i wonder if we’ll get any new Armors that would effect this Ranking somewhat?
Anyway, fair points and opinions, i wonder have you fixed all of the Armors at this?
I wish that they would bring it back for a series. Maybe with a few new armour eggs
After watching DA2020 for the first time recently never realized how many Armors were in it.
Tbh I’m very curious how many armor digimon were actually designed as armor digimon. The original 02 armors + shadramon, Sethmon, and Sagitarimon were clearly designed with the intent of being armors, in some form or another, but the rest just seem like standalone digimon. I’m very curious is they were actually intended to be armor digimon, or if they were just randomly picked armor evolutions when the pre evo needed a digivolution
I'm kind of curious how digimon would handle making X antibody forms for something like Mambomon or Pucchimon. Be an interesting challenge if BandaiNamco decides to revisit the X antibody gimmick on a larger scale again in the future.
27:43 I can see Armadillomon's shell in the chest, but I think it would be better if all the armour was gold and it was Armadillomon with the Digi-egg of Destiny.
A lot of the X antibodies to me look more like they should be evolutions of the Digimon instead of just being a freaking variant with the X antibody.
daaaang armored x antibody digimon hit haaard
the kind of video you thought already existed but it actually didn't
The real killer with Mambomon is they used a SUNfish with the digiarmor of light, and that’s what we got? I wouldn’t even mind if Patamon turned into a fish, though I’d probably go more the koi or beta route to preserve the angelic/feathery armor. But the fact that the light pun is right there and they gave us a “reliability armor at home” is so disappointing.
Waiiiit but Rinkmon from Impmon tho? Like o can see Impmons personality in Rinkmon and the head definitely made me think of Beelzemon
Neeeeeeed to do a video using other Digi-Eggs and what they’ll possibly look like
If I'm not mistaken, Moosemon is actually used a Friendship armor for something on the Gaomon tree in Data Squad. I think from Gabumon, but it's been a while so I'm not 100%
Nope, never been used as a Friendship Armor, it's wild!
@Karn_EX huh. That is wild. Coulda sworn it was, but I just looked it up. Guess I just assumed it was when I younger cause I saw Gabumon + Armor and never paid attention past that
20:26 Feels like Malstormon should be Patamon’s Light armor.
Can you do all digimon in ordering and attacking like a digidex
Like pokedex but digidex qll digimon in orders all forms can you do a video of that
Impmon should be able to armor into Fla Wizardmon since Wizardmon has since been made part of its line. It would also justify Nohemon a bit.
Also I would either swap Elephamon and Rhinomon or have Armadillomon and Patamon be able to evolve into either of depending on whether they use the Digimental of Miracles or the Digimental of Fate.
I think agree with a lot of of your ranking and I think some Of them should be Switched around like ThunderBirdmon should be Hawkmon with Friendship armour Stegomon should be Armadillomon’s Friendship Armour as they are both anicent Creatures Moosemon or Rinkmon should be Patamon with Friendship armour Chemeleonmon should be Wormmon with Sincerity armour Mambamon should be Reliability armour and I think Allomon could work as an Agumon Courge Armour.
Early for the Karn EXperience
You da best!
You keep mentioning about the divining resembling the digiegg, but I suspect that the design process was the reverse, that they designed the eggs to match the digimon they were to be in the show. That would rather neatly explain why most of these don't really match the egg.
I think the digimon tend to focus more on the theme of the egg rather than the design.
Also(apologies for the multiposting, I'm reacting in real time while I watch, I'm not too bothered that the digivolutions don't match the digimon they come from, because, with Digimon, its really only the Partner Digimon or majorly important ones that have a single coherent line that makes sense. Remember, in lore, any digimon can theoretically digivolve into anything else.
dinosaurs aren’t just the ancestors of birds. Birds actually are modern day dinosaurs
Armor Digimon for the win.
Persona 3 released recently, maybe you could do a vid of what the evolution line of the main crew's persona cause they look like mega digimon to me lol
Man, why are the vee mon evo so good
Magnamon is S. I have spoken.
PS: The whole Golden Digimental situation made me think that, among all the nobody Digimon, if canon Deltamon had never existed, Rapidmon Gold could have taken that title.
We all know Karn loves shadramon but oryxmon is THE GOAT, THE GOAT!
And yes another great video
The Ultimate Attack of Magnamon is Extreme Jizahad(or around that)... a f-king KAMIZAKZE ATTACK!
HAVIN HIS X-ANTIBODY BEING "EGDIER" kinda fits... I would put in A since its an ARMOR ranking tier list and magnamon-X fits the quota
... Magnamon Gold digizoid thing there.... is that an XVeemon from X-Wars that learned how to turn into Gold after seeing Shoutmon evolves and then it armr digivolves into this magnamon?... I can let it be AN SS TIER! THE MIRACLE DIGI EGG IS CHUNKY AND THIS DESIGN IS CHUNKY AS WELL!
I love magna x. It’s like Magnamon digivolved into a more powerful, stockier, bulkier, more badass version. Magnamon feels a bit weaker in comparison.
you know it be cool if chaosgallantmon got a dna digivolution with dobrickmon that creates a mode change similar to gallantmoncm but would unique looking , also why no orangegallantmon or a unique gallantmon form also it be cool to get a omnimon like dna evo for samudramon or one for brigdramon with fenierlouggamon also imperladramon fightermode black needs a dna like maybe with malomyotismon
