Phantom Roxas Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Even though it's Kiriha, I was still surprised that he would kill him like that. Frontier villains get some of the worst treatment in this season. Dresden, you'll be happy to know that Spadamon is confirmed to show up in the anime. Also, I realized the background behind your username and finally realized that your avatar is the scene from The Dresden Files that I read about on TV Tropes. I really like the idea that the power of a zombie is proportional to how long they've been dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Spadamon's been confirmed for a while since X4S was confirmed to be in the anime But yeah, I think Kiriha's gone a little axe crazy I mean he pretty much stood there and let Taiki die just because he... refused his sexual advances, judging by the man rape scene on Deckerdramon's leg. And you get a rep for being the first person on this damn site to get my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think another X4 variant is pointless since we have X5. I want to know if Sparrowmon gets incapacitated to make X4S happens. I had heard of the Dresden Files, but then it clicked that your name must have been inspired, then I learned that's it half of his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 WHY MERCURYMON WHY?!!!! Okay, I'm done. Still, Kiriha flip-flops so much, I mean, he seemed a lot more sane during the Dust Zone, but now he's just axe crazy again. Also, holy crap, Tsuwamon shows up next episode.

Blackstone Dresden Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Nene doesn't travel with Taiki and co, Roxas, so they don't have him to rely on that much. Why the HELL is Sparrowmon not a girl?! I'm just waiting for X5KBSGMSD + M at this point. For those of you too lazy to take apart the letters that would be Shoutmon + Ballistamon + Dorulumon + Starmons + Sparrowmon + Knightmon + PawnChesmons + Beelzemon + Spadamon + Greymon + MailBirdramon + SkullKnightmon + DeadlyAxemon + ChibiKamemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 That would probably be X11 or X13. Might as well throw Deckerdramon and Tsuwamon into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was making a 'Lilithmon's sex-line' joke. So was I, what's the problem? Ladies love the polkadot bow tie. Also, Dresden, basically all Kiriha has done all season is make sexual advances on Taiki. Have you forgotten his introduction so soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yes, and apparently Taiki refused one too many because Kiriha just went "Screw it, let him die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Geez, the guy's only in seventh grade. How'd he get so screwed up? Then again, you could basically say the same about any digimon protagonist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Merciful Idiot Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Xros Wars is just weird in so many different ways. But it's a toy show, can't blame it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hydra, like the fact that the protagonist routinely orders Shoutmon et al to murder other Digimon and NOBODY (Not even Akari or Cutemon) says anything about it? I'm not advocating pacifism in an anime with War on the title, but something like Trigun/RuroKen would be nice, with Xros Heart merely beating the opposing Digimon into unconsciousness? I get that it's a war, but they're 6th or 7th graders that routinely watch/order small-to-giant monsters to kill other small-to-giant monsters. Except in Zenjirou's case, where he does the killing himself. And again, there's been NO MENTION of DigiEggs or anything like that this season, so as far as the protagonists and Kiriha are concerned, dead Digimon stay dead.

The Warden Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 In War Dresden, it's killed or be killed. Digimon very rarely get KOed in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, but these are middle schoolers! They shouldn't be so ready to start killing everything that challenges them without going through some personal soul searching first. Like Cody in 02. When the Spire Digimon came about, he was reluctant to kill them because they were alive (Or so he thought). Why can't they do something like that?

The Warden Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Because good is dumb, besides, they only kill Bagra Army Digimon, remember, Taiki let GuardiAngemon live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Easy, there's no blood. Dead digimon explode into fairy sparkles. It's a lot easier to emotionally distance yourself from the horrors of war when you're fighting creatures that aren't even remotely similar to your own body's physicality, and there's nothing left to remind you that you just killed someone. Besides, they haven't killed anyone that wasn't trying to kill them in the first place, and no point in leaving the Bagura forces unharmed and able to swarm you again. Tactically, it's necessary they kill their foes- excepting in cases where they aren't fighting the Bagura army (as with SlashAngemon). The digimon members of the team don't care because they're used to it by now- even Cutemon's been tagging around with Dorulumon enough to be desensitized.

Blackstone Dresden Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Except in Adventure they came back eventually. Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, MetalSeadramon, Machinedramon, Puppetmon, and Piedmon are all chilling in the Digital World right now as some other mon.

The Warden Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Most of the defeated evil became a part of Apocalymon, who went suicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 One could argue that death equals purification, like in Frontier, so only the stray evil data that was leftover after the villain was deleted was absorbed and the actually life data, for lack of a better word, was sent back to the village. Actually, scratch Devimon off that list. I just remembered that he was in a whirlpool until 02. Not sure if he's still there, it's been a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 His data was extraced by the Emporer and used in Kimeramon, that's why it went rogue. There is an incontinuty though. Apocalymon bragged that he had the data of all their defeated enemies. He even used Crimson Lightning, a move of Myotismon. And yet, Myotismon was possessing Oikawa at that exact moment.

Pointing out discontinuities in 02 is basically shooting fish in a barrel. The poor season had more conflicting writing staff than all the other seasons put together, it's a wonder they managed to get anything with a semblance of a coherent plot at all. But yeah, I have to admit it's pretty ludicrous that they're all in middle school. But then again, digimon was ludicrous from the very beginning; the previous protagonist was a highschooler that beat digimon to death with his own bare hands... and the one before that beat them to death with his own two armored hands.

Blackstone Dresden Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The way I see it, Marcus's DigiSoul amplified his strength based on how pissed he was, and as for Frontier, they were Digimon at the time. And, yes, Apocalymon may have had the data for all the other villains but I still say he didn't have all of it. He probably had their Virus data, like I said before. I know I'm dragging Frontier rules into Adventure canon, but dammit it's the only way to make any sense of this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
