Blackstone Dresden Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Apparently Xros Wars got bumped from Tuesday to Sunday when it moved to season 2. I never actually noticed that until yesterday (It's currently Monday my time) Also, a quick scan of the new OP reveals that just like how an omega appears on Taiki's Loader when he Digivolves Shoutmon, when Kiriha Digivolves MetalGreymon, he gets a Z with a slash through the middle (Like how Germans and I'm assuming some other Europeans do it). None of Nene's Digimon are shown Digivolving in the new opening, making Nene, at least for the first few episodes of this season until they can justify a completely different opening sequence, completely useless except for X5, X5B, and X7 (Which is basically X5 with OmegaShoutmon instead of regular Shoutmon) Minervamon joins the heroes this season and I THINK she's a Digivolution of Dracomon now. Yuu also takes prominence at one point in the opening, just after the eponymous Seven Death Generals, holding out his Loader (Interesting note: If you pause the video just right, he looks kinda brainwashed before he goes all axe crazy) with DarkKnightmon and Tsuwamon next to him (Bagramon being just a disembodied head taking up half the screen). DeckerGreymon now shows up in the Shoutmon -> Shoutmon X5B sequence. Then there's the Shoutmon/MetalGreymon Digivolutions and we get our group shot, featuring Taiki, Kiriha, Nene, every mon on Xros Heart (Except the multiples like the Pickmons, though we do get one of each variety and two PawnCHessmons) as well as Deckerdramon and Cyberdramon. Shoutmon and OmegaShoutmon are both present, somewhat paradoxically, but SiegGreymon is there in place of MetalGreymon/Greymon and MailBirdramon. Oh, and I'm pretty sure DracoMinervamon (Or however you want to differentiate this Minervamon from the standard) is our new source of fanservice. Quite fitting since I made her an evo of LadyDevimon back in the RotDL days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I really wouldn't consider the humanoid Minervamon to be a part of the Dracomon line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Well, the wiki lists her as an unnamed Dracomon evolution, and since she's got the DNA/Snake theme on her giant ass claymore, I think it's obvious that she's Minervamon. Plus, Dracomon's blue line culminates in the humanoid Slayerdramon, and, as per anime law, the female counterpart of such a heavily armored warrior would be the bikini clad Gainaxmon... I mean Minervamon... Also, apparently Kiriha kept at least 2 Golemon on his team, so maybe the MailBirdramon + Golem Hammer Xros will get a real name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 That makes no sense nor does it have any justification. Oh look, Bulbmon is a large structural Digimon that has parts that extend out, quite clearly he evolves into Apocalymon. And the snake thing means crap when that would make Lotusmon a contender as well. There's no way the creators would be so stupid as to give us a grdual dragon line, that then results in a human man child who throws temper tantrums. That is just a slap in the face to those expecting Slayerdramon, who at least keeps to the theme of being a dragon. Minervamon is, for the sake of meshing mythos to prove a point, a valkyrie. The loosest way I could ever consider her pre-evo, would be to consider Valkyriemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Similarities: Same basic helmet shape, same claymore, bikini top/shorts combo (new version adds stockings), twin ponytails, wing decals on the side of the helmet, spiked shield, and that snake head wristband thingy... which has now migrated to her other arm and has been greatly elongated. I'm pretty sure that she's Minervamon, but that doesn't mean she's gonna be a whiny little brat (See Beelzemon's official profile calling him cold and merciless). After all, she's apparently the evolution of the Dracomon that saved Taiki from the lava (Her hair is about the same color as Dracomon's scales) so it's doubtful that she'd be as childlike as the rest of her species.

The Warden Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 It still seems stupid having an Olympus Twelve share the same Digivolution line as a Royal Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I forget to check in for a day and you guys are talking about a lot of stuff, but I can see how Minervamon could come from either source, but my biggest thing is i need to catch up with the stuff so piece.

The Warden Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 The new opening to Xros Wars. I'm really put off by the second Death General. It looks like a merge of Myotismon and Beelzemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 When I find the time I might have to rewatch a lot of it seeing as I stopped for a while I'll probably use the wikia to find were to start though.I'm thinking of doing stuff to both RP ideas that integrate the Royal Knights and Olympian 12, maybe something like the 2 sides are fighting for control of the digital world but they can't directly interfere so the need human or digimon representative to act on their behalf and try to take over the digital world for their side, of course even if you represent allies they'll be some incentive for the winner so it will be more of a free for all then 2 sides fighting, of course not everyone will get a representative.

Blackstone Dresden Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 BH, have you forgotten that one of the Death Generals IS a -Myotismon? It's probably that one too, though I dunno since I can't really match names with faces yet. And a Myotismon/Beelzemon hybrid could look interesting. Blast Mode or plain?

Merci Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Although it's strikingly similar to Minervamon, I'm going to think of it as a separate digimon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 That Digimon in the opening, the Myotismon looking one is NeoVamdemon, which we know that Vamdemon is Myotismon; ep 31 matched the image to the names. But, I knew straight from the opening that one of the Death Generals was Apollomon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone Dresden Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Ep 31 matched the names to the silhouettes, which leaves it to us to match the silhouettes to the images, linking the names to the images by transitive property. I honestly don't care for putting that much effort into it (I'm in college, I'm allowed to be lazy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think it is Minervamon just an older 1, don't forget digivolution is odd in this world so it could be that they just meet up with her and that she didn't digivolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Actually, this Minervamon, like Beelzemon, is a Xros Wars variant; meaning the original and the Xros Wars version are capable of meeting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Do you think that the digimon of the goddess statue in XW could be 1 of the Olympus 12 that hasn't been shown yet.I think it's possible which would be interesting seeing as it is the same mask as Beelzebumon and when i watched the episode thats what they called his so that's why I'm using it.'

The Warden Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Many people joked that it was Beelzewomon; however, it probably wouldn't be a O12, as there wouldn't be really anything that she was attributed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I don't understand what you mean by attributed to, but I think it would just be interesting if that was the case, its up to the writers, all I can say is that all we can do is wait.

Phantom Roxas Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Am I the only one who's kind of annoyed that Apollomon will be the final Death General? Don't get me wrong, Apollomon is awesome and all, but I just find it silly that they're creating all new Digimon to be the other six Death Generals, and yet they take one of the Olympus Twelve to be the final Death General. I honestly don't get why X7 is just X5 with ΩShoutmon. I can understand that that skipped X6, but what would X6 have been? X7 without Sparrowmon? That strikes me as odd, as we have X5, separate that into the components, completely ignore Sparrowmon, evolve Shoutmon, and do another Xros. All I can think of is that X7 is just an error and that he's actually X6, or there's a component to X7 that we don't know about, which is highly unlikely. That or X7 has the requirements we're thinking of and X6 will remain a mystery, which annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The O12 are named after the Roman & Greek gods respectivelly, I dunno why though, Poseidonmon sounds alot better than Neptunmon. But, she can't be attributed to the O12 as the Goddess effectively is a female Beelzemon, who is based on Beelzebub, a Biblical Demon, like the other Demon Lords respectively. So, since we have no base concept of the Goddess, we can assume she is in someway related to Beelzemon and the bible, not the Roman/Greek Mythos. It is kind of lazy, but maybe it shows how powerful Bagramon is, as that's the 2nd O12 he's had in his army. Although, I am upset that they downplayed Fanglongmon to be nothing more than Durbickmon's mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I thought the O12 were just named after the Roman gods, but I agree that naming all of them after the Greek gods would be better. I was also disappointed with how Fanglongmon was treated. It's the first time the ultimate Sovereign has appeared in the anime, and yet he isn't all that special.

The Warden Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 It's both you see. Apollomon is named after Apollo, greek god of the sun. It's a dichotomy of both. Also Trimage, since you've stuck around for a good amount of time, you;ve been promoted to the Bagra Empire. *throws a handful of confetti* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Woow, and also about the goddess yes she in the statue has a similar mask and wings to Beelzebumon but thats probably not exactly what she looks like so I wouldn't right the theory of so quickly, finally I need to change my sig now yay.

Phantom Roxas Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Broken, I'm aware that Apollo is the Greek god of the sun, except that falls apart when you realize that his Roman equivalent is still named Apollo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
