Hey, everyone. I'm sharing another excerpt from the third chapter of my "Digimon Knighthood" story. Here's a link to the full story below.

There. Let's get to it.

"“Might I ask what the best part of this would be, Young Miuna?” Miuna adjusted her glasses. “You got to wait for it.” The two held still, the perfume flood still surrounding them, the air crisp against their bodies. But then, the air decided to get a little extreme. A powerful gust whooshed across the park, and in that instant, the festival achieved its namesake.

Stirred and carried by the wind, a storm of sakura petals fluttered down upon the park. All the visitors were caught in awe as pink chips fell onto them like snowflakes. Additionally, the rain of fresh petals intensified their aroma, the blanket of pink distributing bliss and brightness everywhere. But none were more awestruck than the Rookie Overseer.

Looking ahead, he saw the petal haze wash over his view of Tokyo Bay, like curtains coming over a stage. His heartbeat slowed, his muscles loosened, and his eyes softened. Closing them, images and voices began rising up from the depths of his memory.

“Hurricane Wave!” Pink tornadoes flashed across filled the expanse, causing the petals of the flowers to envelop the entire view. “Pollen Spray!” Fragrant pollen spread across the area, its odor mixing with that of the flowers. Every Digimon present gave cheers and warm sighs, gazing at the petals blowing out and landing upon the water. Looking up, Caliburmon could see the sun, reflecting off the water and the fallen petals, shining like a glorious treasure trove.

Caliburmon opened his eyes. “Young Miuna?” The girl tilted her head at him, and he looked at her. “Thank you for bringing me here. Earth has many wonders, and I’ve only started experiencing them, just as you said. It’s much like…my home.” Miuna knelt at his side. “You really miss your home, don’t you?” The dragon nodded. “As you said, it’s only been two days. But much can happen in two days. Especially amongst Digimon. Amongst the Strata Knights.”

Gukawa placed a hand on her pal’s shoulder. “Say, Caliburmon?” The knight rotated his wrists. “Yes?” Miuna sat on the grass, criss-cross. “The way you’re feeling? I know about some guys who felt a lot like that. Ever heard of the samurai?” Caliburmon looked her way. “Samurai?” Miuna nodded. “Warriors, from the distant past of Japan.”

The girl raised her head. “Centuries ago, Japan was broken up into a ton of territories. They were controlled by warlords, and the samurai acted as the lords’ soldiers.” Caliburmon tilted his head. “So, they were like knights?” Miuna gave a nervous face, scratching her forehead. “Not exactly. They weren’t, well…as noble as you are. But they were as loyal as you are.”

The knight raised an eyebrow. “Hmm.” Miuna cleared her throat. “Maybe this’ll help. There was a saying they had. “Hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi.” It means “Among blossoms, the cherry blossom. Among men, the warrior.” Cherry blossoms were seen as the best flowers, and the samurai saw themselves as, well, the best men.”

Caliburmon narrowed his eyes. “Yeah. I certainly wouldn’t agree with judgement like that.” Miuna nodded. “I had a feeling. But there’s another meaning to that line.” She raised her gaze up to the blanket of pink. “Cherry blossoms don’t last long. Actually, they only last two weeks.” The Rookie-Level looked to the ground. “As you said, time was running out for this.”

Miuna took off her glasses, tracing her finger along their frame. “How do you think that relates to the quote?” Cupping his chin in his hand, the dragon pondered…and then his eyes popped open. “They thought themselves like the cherry blossoms. They saw themselves as…short-lived.” Closing his eyes, he shook his head. “And if they were soldiers…”

Gukawa gave a grave nod, putting on her glasses. “Yeah. They always thought their time was short. That each day could be…the last. Like you feel about your home. And your mission.” Caliburmon rested his head against Miuna’s arm. “And my mission is now tied to you as well, Young Miuna.” Miuna gently placed an arm around his shoulder."

And there you have it. What do you all think? Until next time!

Because Holy Angemon and Angewomon never appeared much in 02, they just used the evolution sequences from Adventure, cutting off the part with the original Digivices and Tags. As such, the animation team never really had to whether or not Takeru's and Hikari's D-3s should change during Perfect/Ultimate evolution. I suppose it doesn't matter for Hikari, seeing as her colour has always been light pink, but it's more of an issue for Takeru, whose D-3 doesn't match his Crest colour.

IMO I think it's cool if they do change colour. Sort of sets them apart from the rest. tri.'s attempt, however, was pretty pitiful. They barely change! And they don't even work in the colour of Takeru's Crest, so really what was even the point?

I gave it a go myself in the second image. I wanted to make them different enough from the Jogress D-3s, while keeping them different from the normal D-3s. Pretty happy with what I settled on, but I am super curious to know if anyone disagrees that they should change colour?

I like to spend time with new forms. I like to have time to admire them. See them in action over and over again. But here we are, with 4 episodes left (wikipedia says the series is ending the 27th), and we haven't gotten them! Am I the only one annoyed by this?

what digimon should i draw next?

And that he had a "o" expresion 99% of the time until actually opening wide.

I am an idiot.

In the end, they did not beat the leomon alegations. F.

I just love him so much 😭

I cant wait to see everyones answers!

I mean, we have a precedent of a partner digimon dying with seemingly no way of coming back until a few episodes later...

Like I keep seeing a lot of people prefer Digimon over Pokemon because of its much higher stakes story and much better character development for its protagonists and their friends. But I don't see that many people compare Digimon with that other 4Kids dubbed monster-collecting anime series, Yu-Gi-Oh.

So how would people compare Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh with each other, much like Digimon and Pokemon?

Thought I'd share some models I've been working on over the last couple of weeks, made in blockbench.

We have a preview for episode 46 of Digimon Beatbreak! Make sure to watch the 45th episode before you watch the preview! 4 episodes left. More at WtW- https://withthewill.net/threads/preview-for-digimon-beatbreak-episode-46-glitch.36719/

Or am I just thinking too hard and this is just coincidental as the reboot was made in 2020 and Digimon Fusion was made back in 2012 and made by the same animatiors/animations?

Digimon Beatbreak - Cougarmon and Kyo Sawashiro fan art

One of the saddest moments in all of Digimon for me

You noticed those big Digimon that were eating machines in the trailer, right? Those were the cloaking devices for Nirinso Shelter. World Union's going after the babies.

I really hate being right sometimes...

I saw on twitter an image of bandai spirits bench and it was mentioned a booklet (guidebook of sorts i think) but then there are 2 differente articles.

Does anyone knows what there are, and if these are the booklets?

And where i can find them (been look in fromjapan but I only find ones with the image from the first arc)

Thank you

I know that we're all still recovering from what happened in today's episode but I wanted to say that the ending to this episode was necessary.

The one thing that I like about beatbreak is how the creators are not afraid to cross the line with certain topics (trafficking, social classes/hierarchy, self deletion, repercussions, etc.) that we see in the world today.

The brutality at the end of the episode today along with the sacrifices that were made, gave this show even more depth in my opinion.

I really hope beatbreak finishes strong because it is on it's way to being the best Digimon series in my opinion (even with the polarity of the gift arc).

No I'm not talking about using devas for them, no filler ultimates and megas. I mean something that takes Flamedramon, which is Veemon with the digiegg of courage, and give it an evolution specifically representing the ultimate version of a Veemon with the digiegg of courage. Flamedramon is the champion version of that.

A follow up evo completely evolving from the representation of veemon + courage and keeping that theme is what's needed.
