Digimon Liberator Might SAVE Digimon... 

HAPPY SUNDAY, NOTIFICATION SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAD! Ooh this Digimon Liberator stuff is getting good, are you enjoying it so far?

Making Liberator an anime would probably be the best way to go. Out of everything Digimon does the anime has always had the biggest reach and audience. But it great to see Liberator actually being better than I thought it was going to be. And having some actually effort put into it.

Impmon: look at me Guilmon Impmon: look at me I am the growlmon now

If there’s one thing that Digimon Liberator being popular to the point of crashing the official Digimon site can teach us anything is that the group of people who became a Digimon fan thanks to the 2020 Card game are a lot bigger group than people thought. It’s almost feels like Tamers again where they used the cards in the anime in hopes to make card fans interested in other parts of the Digimon franchise and I think it might have worked here.

I adore that new Impmon evolution line. Referencing Tamer is so ingenious! IMPMON FANS STAY WINNING

Speaking as a big Beelzemon fan, I actually really love Impmon getting a new evolution line! Same with FanBeemon, I am so eager to see all these new Digimon.

I wish they'd release a digital version of the Digimon TCG

People complaining about us getting like a dozen new Digimon is wild to me. Like, that is GREAT! We are winning! Enjoy it!

If you ever want to do another partner swap video for tamers, Impmon's new Evo line has basically done the work for you 😅

Me laughing when cerunmon was introduced. Seadramon:has a dna evolution Pupetmon:has a dna evolution Piedmon:has a dna evolution Machinedramon:has a dna evolution.

The phrase “we’re so back” has never been more true

"D-Storage, AKA your Mom" is a top-tier Karn moment on par with "COULD BE DOOKIE!?"

2:28 are you the Bees knees? *Silence* Tough crowd on the fly, I'll buzz off

I was screaming so loud when I saw that new Impmon line! Before the Tamers show debuted in the U.S., we had the action figures released and i always speculated if Calumon and Impmon became Guilmon or Renamon. I was surprised when Guilmon and Renamon were introduced as rookies instead of champions (back when rookies were typically smol). This really brought me back to that idea!

Being a music kid plus a lover of all things dragon themed impmons new evolution line just shot up to one of if not my favorite lines in digimon it’s so awesome to me

With all the new Digimon for Digimon Liberator, I’m hoping we get Galacticmon turning into Gaiamon.

Honestly love how many digimon are getting new evos recently and expanding on they're families recently I hope every partner in liberator gets a brand new line as well I do hope bandai make a brand new vpet that features the liberator partners with vb stylized sprites

THAT IMPMON LINE IS AMAZING WHAT! I'M LOVING THIS ALREADY

just read liberator and now i am super excited for whats to come next also the next step would be to give guilmon impmons line

Happy Sunday Karn EX! And yes, I too am loving Digimon Liberator. Especially the Theme song. And I agree that the website could use some improvemnt.

God I'm so hyped for the new evolutions!!!! Excited to see if there's more than just a visual connection between the new Impmon evos & the Guilmon family, but even more so MORE ROYAL BASE LORE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:35 I'm going to keep the new Impmon line in mind for give Digimon partners to characters, there's a character who's weapon is a guitar in a music theme season and like lmpmon, she was a mischievous character before becoming a good guy , this would fit her.

damn we're so back and Karn hit us with a sick burn. What a day

That new Impmon digivolution line is awesome!

I love howevery digimon thing has a "we're back" vibe even though it never really left

Hopefully, Fanbeemon has a branching line that can cross over well with the current one (like the new D-brigade). Also, it's going to be interesting to see how the tamers are incorporated. I can only picture the pointing spiderman meme, with two Shotos staring each other down. Liberators gives me a lot of hope, and while it's not an anime, this is still off to a great start!

3:39 Well, the silicon that makes up storage drives can be made from ashes, so you’re not wrong there…

It was great to get a little more information about Digimon Liberator and Cernumon looked so cool :D.

I like the new Impmon evolutions, looking forward to finding out more about them

So, for a good while now I had ACTUALLY been working on like a TTRPG style thing involving the Digimon Card Game. And oddly enough from what you showed in your video quite a few of the setups for Liberator are what I actually envisioned (though there are some heavy differences), a partner Digimon that reflects your deck/play style, a Digivice linked to your cards and such. I'll have to read the manga and see what else Bandai lifted from my talking points with myself lol.

Though I'm in the bandwagon that Impmon didn't really need to have an evil Guilmon evolution line, I don't think that the "evil punk rock Guilmon line" is any kind of bad. Pretty dope to actually get someone other than Agumon to get that kind of treatment. Whoever is in charge of this new batch of content is absolutelly killing it. All the new designs seem like absolute fire. I hope it all does well enough that this gets adapted into anime.

Think that having an anime and maybe even a game for liberator will help it reach a wider audience and a video game where you play the card game will help people who need a hands-on learning experience, understand how to play the card game for themselves on paper better

Liberator is great so far. The characters are so expressive, the visuals are awesome. I can't wait to see more!

I just read the chapters, omg the art is so good Also Mr Navit appearance???

After seeing a match between bt17 Fenriloogamon and DexDorugoramon by the channel CardProtaganist and the little story bit they had at the beggining I want to try to read Seekers now and wish that along with Liberators would get anime adaptations or games, the stories seem so cool. (Also sorry Karn for talking about another channel in your comments)

Liberator looks absolutely spectacular. I would LOVE for it to be an anime😭😭😭😭

Karn_EX don't sell yourself short. I've seen people use your videos as a offical Digimon news source before. Your name has a surprising amount of weight within Digimon nerd circles.

Love them taking there time with this and really like punk dino digimon (peak digimon). Super hyped for all the new dgimon too. Also holy cow I would love a cybersleuth inspired deck building game!

I'm willing to give Liberator a read mainly because I'm starving for digimon content and we're still waiting for more news on the new story game. Also my friend did bring up a good point and that is with yuki's impmon, since he has a different evolution line when compared to Tamers Impmon and the sexy female Beezelmon, Maybe they can use this new evolution line to seek its way into the new story game if it didn't already get considered that way. Who knows it's a thought and it could help further promote liberatior and even more digimon related content but still it's nice that Liberator is screaming interesting and maybe this would be a rather same level of intriguing as when I was reading that 1 digimon Manga that I forgot the name of sadly. Anyway great overview Karn!

It's really shocking that at this point we still don't have Master Duel/Duel Links equivalent for Digimon, considering how much they are pushing the Card game (which I don't mind at all). Do I like card games? No. Would I still get the game to play anywhere while I am out of home when I have time, Yes obviously.

I want this to do well so that we can get a card game video game 🎉

I can understand people wanting Impmon to become Beelstarmon (I was hoping for Yuuki to give us a musketeers Tamer myself) but I do not understand anyone who wanted him to evolve to Beelzemon. Beelzemon is already plenty popular with lots of presence in the franchise, and in the card game specifically has tons support including a perfect Tamer(s). If they're gonna use a line of existing Digimon in Liberator, it should be Digimon that don't presently have their own Tamers or even associated humans in other media. If for no other reason than to give them Tamer cards that support them in the card game Liberator is promoting. Digimon like Beelzemon or Sakuyamon have a Tamer, so give the spotlight instead to Etemon, Dynasmon, the Three Muskateers, or maybe even Shakamon's group. Not that I am at all upset at us getting new Digimon instead when we do, I am loving the look of Heavy Metal Megidramon; I'm just saying there should be some prioritizing when it comes to appearances by established Digimon or Digimon lines, especially if it gives them a chance to finally associate with some partner humans.

Dude that new impmon line just stole my favorite line spot, the geogreymon-shinegreymon line can take a hike!

I appreciate, that the Novel won't be pushed out so fast, because it helps keeping up the quality of the translation (the machine translation of Seekers made me stop reading it, because I would get a headache) + we gonna get more time to read each chapter (or chapters). So very excited!

Yay, I love it when I'm rewatching Karn EX videos and see a new one was posted. I think I will try reading Liberator. Just because of Funbeemon and the new Impmon line.

Is that a new version of Megidramon? Awesome!

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...

I mean with the BOATLOAD of info we already got right up to before it's proper release, it was exciting to say the least, specially as far as new Digimon are concerned. And to top it off we STILL have more reveals for Liberator alone down the road. Yeah we back.

My personal names for the Impmon Evo line: Punkdramon (Champion), Noisedramon (Ultimate), Shredmon (Mega)

I love the character designs for liberator. As a big tamers fan I'm happy to see impmon back with a guilmom style evolution line. I do hope this series gets an anime.

For the time being, I'm calling the new Impmon line Hertzmon, Kilohertzmon, and Megahertzmon. Sound based, sounds like hurt which is great for a dark line, then continues uup the hertz scale with kilo, like kill, and mega, similar to Megidramon. I really like how well these names fit.

Thank you for linking the manga

Definitely an awesome time to be playing the Digimon Card Game! Can't wait to see what other new stuff yet to come!

i'm so excited to see owen's partner in action and to learn its name, it looks like an axolotl to me (right up my alley lmao) and even if it isn't i've already fallen in love with this little pink critter.

I was actually planning to do a fanmade digimon thing, using a punk rocker girl with an Impmon as one of the main characters, I was planning on having her mega be Beelstarmon but I might have to use this new evo because it fits so well (I do still wanna use Beelstar somehow though but I can probably figure something out, maybe use it as a Mode change/alternate path for use in smaller areas, maybe that could work.)

Cernumon looks so cool! I haven't really enjoyed an evolved stage digimon design in a loooong time but wow this one is very neat. The new comic looks cool so far too!

I just saw someone point out how the evolutions are music themed and I noticed the mega has guitar wings and a guitar pick tail, and the ultimate has speaker shoulders with cables coming off

I actually like this direction I love the card game artworks of the cards them making a series on it to a web novel and a web comic is cool

These new Digimon are so cool! I absolutely love that D storage!

Also some extra info for anyone is that liberaters is also on the webtoon app

I can feel it boys. A digimon tcg game will come.

Digimon liberator is pretty good so far and the manhwa style was a smart choice to avoid more translation errors from digimon seekers

Karn gets his bee. Nature is healing

This is so cool! I saw that digivolution line for Impmon and I thought it was fun art mixing its concepts with guilmon's!! Also, vespamon is gonna be a scooter

Impmon having a guilmon style evolution line is long overdue and it looks insane I absolutely love the punk ascetic

Okay, I've read the manga, and MAN this would be an AMAZING anime season! I already love the story and the character. And the fact that they are all young adults feels SO refreshing.

Pls Bandai Namco! Give us a digital simulator for the TCG! Or a card game RPG like in the old times!

Aye the new Impmon evolution like looks LIT!

Love the idea of the deck box being the Digivice for this season. Kind of like how Kamen rider Ryuki had the advent decks as transformation devices. I definitely agree with many people who want to see this as an anime, it's just so cool! Man, I'm so hyped for Liberators!

I’m super excited for how the web comic and web novel will play out! I was (naively) hoping we would get some DiM cards for these new Digimon, but here we are

oh that explains why the website feels a bit slow on loading the manga pages. I haven't finished episode zero yet but that theme song is awesome. really hoping that this can transition into an anime or video game adaptation. I was a bit fan of Digital Card Arena/Battle on PS1 And yes, spot on with that Cybersleuth parallelism (?)

Digimon liberator has been officially uploaded on the main liberator website ,global comic, and webtoon The difference is that main site updates Thursday while the other website updates Friday

Genuinely so excited for Liberator. I want them to feel out the fans first through the webcomic, then release an anime. Digimon anime will just always hit just right.

Takato (Looking at the new Impmon line, and then turning toward Guilmon): "Okay, what happened?" Guilmon (Blushing, and looking down): "... Impmon wanted to play some funny games together, while you were away..."

Impmon's new digivolution line is WILD! But at least he kinda has a champion that makes sense lol Also Cendrillmon reminds me of Angewomon (a virus mega for Angewomon, Ophanimon being vaccine) also works as a Crescemon evolution too...? I read the first chapter and I already like it :) Great I could see this video and say what I think! Really Cool!

When we eventually get the Funbeemon support in the TCG I hope they give it a dedicated Puroromon egg.

3:28 digimon is just such an huge tamer reference it's a little funny

Hope they release a physical copy of the Liberator manga.

Maybe pokemon did the lizard+guitar first but this megidramon design is just peak out of the box design choice. Who would've thunk of guitar wings I mean. That's so rad

I wonder an alternative for fanbeemon alternative to a digi evolution will go. Will it go down a more big hornet route. Or a variant wasp species.

It’s also available on Webtoons site which I like because I’ve recently been fallowing some web comics on there and now there’s Liberator too. I’m curious about the girl with Ghostmon, that new promo art makes it look like she’s going to part of the main trio with Shoto and Arisa. I saw someone mention on twitter that in the Japanese version there’s a smaller speech bubble that doesn’t cover up a picture in Arisa’s room that looks like it has the Ghostmon girl in it with Arisa, so maybe they’re already friends. Maybe this will be the first time we have a Digimon story with the main trio we focus on is one guy and two girls, instead of the usual inverse most series do. Edit: I hope Liberator does well, then maybe it will get an anime. Yugioh isn’t the only long running card game anime so maybe Digimon could become one too?

For now I'm calling the new evos Roarmon (roar being parallel to growl) BoomRoarmon (Boombox) and MegaAmpmon (amplifier for an electric guitar, also sounds kinda like Megidramon) I hope they cook better than I can for the actual names though

I was excited when they announced the new Manga, and I was not disappointed. Here's to hoping it continues to be great. I'll be keeping up with it. But I'll admit the "digivice" 😅 is a little silly, not that it will stop me froming buying the deck box. No such thing as too many of those for your cards.

I'm excited for sure. I'm not really a tcg fan, but maybe this will sway me in that direction. Look at FanBeemon getting some well-deserved love.

If they do an anime, the adaptation should be easy ... the manga itself feels like anime, is like is structured like one, and all the blur effects and dynamic poses make it seem like its constantly moving. It kinda feels like an elaborate storyboard

Bro I’m so excited!

Now we need digimon liberator game!!!!!!!!! Aaand i love muchomon now

I think it is safe to say that Digimon has hit its next golden era. While we don't have an anime yet, I think between the new web series, card game, models, and digivices pushes it to that point. The manga is beautiful, I love the Ex-Tyrannomon scene. While, I appreciate the manga and novel being free, I think Bandai/Toei could have made bank had they made them into physical comic book like American comics for every chapter. The new Ultimate Spiderman run and Robert Kirkman's Transformers multiverse show there is a market for physical chapter issues. The new digimon are interesting though Impmon's line will take some time. I pretty positive every partner Digimon is getting a new evolutionary line including Vemmon. One thing that is interesting is the Sunarizamon tamer will have big part in my opinion. Finally, while Impmon doesn't get to digivolve into Beelstarmon Sparrowmon will. 😋

Oh hey, hadn't heard about Funbeemon becoming a partner and getting a new evolution yet. I'd expect a "queen bee" sorta evolution, whoever rules the Royal Base (although in a deck focused on the Royal Base, I DEFINITELY expect him to also play TigerVespamon, which would probably also evolve from Funbeemon or at least be able to). As for his Japanese name, his name there is "Saikiyo", with "saikyo" meaning "best", and looking at how they localized it, that's definitely more of a user/nickname... There being a reason Yuukis Impmon doesn't evolve to Beelzebumon OR Beelstarmon is also news to me, makes me hope that they'll still come up later, I mean, Beelstarmon just had a new card revealed that shouldn't be part of her deck, kinda implies at least it DOES play a role... but I could also just see the reason be because they wanted her to play a Dark Dragon-deck and there's some other reason they gave her Impmon as a partner for that. As for Liberators in general, I liked the setup of the first two chapters, but at the same time, I get a similar feelings as early Seekers, so I'm not too confident it'll do anything as big as "save Digimon". Especially the kinda support they've given it so far, both a webtoon AND a novel, and they gave it its own theme-song, makes me feel like they're going hard on supporting it, but should it not meet the expectations they set for it... they'll do the same as always, basically have it sink into obscurity while keeping it running to the end and then move on to the next thing. So... for me that's a strongly bolded *Might* in the title... I also have _some_ problems with the art so far, mainly that it feels like half of it is off the page, some of the big panels are just too close up, like, it especially bothered me after Shoemon first appeared, perhaps it's intentional, perhaps it's me being too used to reading manga, but I feel that could use some work and I look forward to how the artist is going to evolve throughout the series. As for Liberators getting an anime... I personally don't see it. I think it'd be cool, while reading the first two chapters I even thought how some of these scenes would probably work pretty well animated, but with how Digimon usually is with its media, usually keeping it all rather seperate and trying to do something new with every iteration, I really doubt they'd adapt this, with how different the cardgame-format is from the usual Digimon-anime... unless this really just breaks expectations and becomes ultra popular. Maybe the next Digimon anime could take some lessons from Liberators though, what I personally liked in the first chapter was that the MC started with Muchomon and the girl with Junkmon, presumably Muchomon will be somewhat of a secondary partner/mascot for the MC, I feel it'd be a really good idea to have multiple partners like that in the anime as well, it'd be a way to give older Digimon a chance to be partners while the main partners could still be new Digimon like they usually do. Ghost Game also was kinda experimenting close to that idea, even though they didn't fully commit to it, so I could definitely see it work.

I actually kind of like this. I've always wanted a DNA evolution of Gallantmon and Belezemon and this kind of scratches that itch. Now if I can just get my Gallantmon and Justimon DNA evolution.

I firmly believe Digimon needs a persona mechanics kind of video game. I want one 😢

Digimon is a huge part of my life and i love your videos

It is a promising start so far. The translations seem good, the art is above what I expected, and the characters seem fun. I was also this excited after the first couple episodes of Ghost Game, then that fell off so only time will really tell.

We did get a Beelstarmon ace card that has direct connections with a Sparrowmon card of all things, for EX07, so it sounds like Beelstar / the three musketeers may have a different (and possibly less significant, similar to blucomon's) role in Liberator? That's my assumption anyways, since we're still getting three musketeers support in THE Liberator set. It's interesting and I wonder what her role will be in the series!

I just want all these new Digimon (plus, like, Pulsemon and the Ghost Game Digimon) to be in the new Story game alongside all the classics.

I hope the tcg digimon app gets a full version to go with Liberators coming out at some point.

I kinda hope they make a game based on the manga and the card game, idk if it would sell well, but I'd definitely play it

Im really hoping this is leading towards a digimon tcg app or console/pc game. Digital ports of card games is crucial in 2024 and the digimon and theme asthedic lends itslef heavily to this medium.

I am hoping we get a Digimon Card Game mobile game since this could work as the new Digimon game on the app store

From what I'm seeing it seems that Digimon is at a spot where it's doing fine with its TGC, Web novels and v pet and the occasional Adventures 01 and 02 stuff. It might not be where WE WANT it to be. But at least it's still an ip that's alive. Hopefully it proves to be monetary stable enough for Bamco and Toei alike to hopefully take more risks with the ip.
