EVERY Garurumon Ranked! 

Happy Awoo-nesday, notification squad! Nah I didn't like that either... anyway, thanks for watching and let me know your favourite Garurumon variant below! ALSO don't forget to enter here to win a CSA Kizuna DIgivice: bit.ly/3LZwhCj

It is really cool that Gabumon starts off as some kind of weird lizard monster wearing wolf skin, only to become the very creature it was wearing. It is like it wished it was wolf, only to get its wish granted after its digivolution.

In the immortal words of Tri Abridged Matt: "Dinosaur breathing fire? Pretty cool. WOLF breathing fire? FUCKING METAL!"

Ok but now I wanna see your rankings of all the X-antibody variants! There's some room for interesting perspectives on a lot of them. Solid tier list this video (and I totally agree with black weregarurumon being better)

Koji has my favorite line of garurumon variants

I really hope the tcg gives more love to x-anti body digimon, all the garurumon x forms feel so well connected. It definitely does feel like magnagarurumon is almost a refined x metalgarurumon I never noticed that before

well well, i can tell you why your Greymon Species Video worked so well... xD anyways, good job, keep up the great work :)

That No More Heroes intro for True Shadow Howl was perfect.

I have to say for myself: Weregarurumon is my favorite Adventure Ultimate and my second favorite Ultimate in the franchise next to Rapidmon. Part of what it comes down to is that I don't like Digimon on all fours, I think it critically limits what you can do with it in combat. Like with Garurumon, every time it faced something smaller than it that was as strong or stronger it would basically just stand there and take it since its not like it can block. Weregarurumon fixed that major problem I had with Garurumon and added in a really cool martial arts based fighting style...that it then lost when it evolved again which has always been a major reason I like Wargreymon more than Metalgarurumon. I have the same problem with the transition between Renamon and Kyuubimon & Gaomon to Gaogamon. It went from being a cool fighter to just shooting from a distance and doing shoulder tackles. For me, I prefer when Digimon get smaller and more agile as they digivolve past Champion/Adult level or at least once they get to Mega/Ultimate. Like I also hate Megagargomon because its so big and dumb and just stands there most of the time. Weregarurmon's fight with Myotismon will always be a highlight for me.

I didn't know how much i love Gabumon's alt mega in Adv 2020 until i saw it wield a naginata I've become such a fan of this Polearm thanks to Persona 3 portable and Fire Emblem

What if all main protagonist could DNA with each other? Like Tai's Wargreymon with Davis's Magnamon, Takato's Gallentmon with Takuya's EmperorGreymon, and Marcus's ShineGreymon with Mikey's OmniShoutmon. I feel like their combinations would be cool and interesting.

I was hoping this was next 😁. I always chose Gabumon in DW1 too, both because I liked it better and because it had the only line to ultimate that I had the requirements memorized for as a kid lol

I never like that the Metalgarurumon go back to be an animal walking in four legs after being a fighting hand to hand warrior as Weregarurumon, he was a mighty werewolf and then he just go back to be a regular wolf, yeah a wolf of steel, but he lost something important

Awesome video as always my favorite digimon and perfect timing to post this one on my birthday

As a Wolf fanatic i love the garurumon Digimon

I’ve been waiting for this lets goo

Loving this! Would love to see the Angemon variants!

Gotta love the no more heroes reference at 2:33

Ayyyy!!! We got the Gururumon video!

I can't tell for sure because it's been over 20 years that I watched Adventure for the first time, but I'm inclined to say Garurumon might be the first digimon I fell in love with. Probably because I am/was a basic kid and I liked beasts digimon (Garurumon and Leomon come to mind) instantly back then. So I was looking forward to this video very much and... I'm so disappointed there's not many Garurumon variants as there are Greymon variants X'D But Anyways, I enjoyed this video 👍 I honestly don't get what is it about WereGarurumon that Karn classifies as silly (I always saw WereGarurumon as a badass, still do) but I don't complain about it because really, Karn is such a kind and fun guy, and he is definitely my favorite Digimon RU-vidr. His content's great, he is great, we could disagree on everything digimon and I'd still subscribe because he is that good, and nice, and funny! Karn you're great and I really hope you get all the subscribers you deserve, which are millions. Honestly anyone who considers themselves a digimon fan, hardcore or casual, should totally be surprised to this channel. I know I don't regret my subscription one bit. Have a great day!

Absolutely agree, have always preferred Gabumon's line over Agumon's, even with the years gone by with variants like BurningGreymon and GeoGreymon line, call me girly but I just love mammal Digimon. And yeah the metal attributes, later on, helps a lot more and gel together I think better than MetalGreymon and the like. I got to say personally, outside of Adventure line up, KendoGarurumon is probably my favorite out of them all.

love to see a ranking of partner digimon, either as different stages or as a whole

Love to see an Angemon ranking

MagnaGarurumon making S tier made me so happy. It's my *favorite* Hybrid digimon out of all of them

I can't tell what I would want more, A Garurumon counterpart to Geo/Rise/Shinegreymon, or a ZeedGarurumonVictoryGreymon Omnimon. Maybe the second so VG and ZG would appear in more games

I think we're missing out on a "true" Garurumon Rookie and at least alternate versions of the rest of the line for Gabumon. It always kinda bothered me but peaked my interest, that Gabumon had Garurumon's fur as part of it's code. So, I think it would be a pretty cool idea if Gabumon was a Digimon that required having Garurumon data. Then Gabumon would digivolve into more beast/reptile versions of the regular line. Could even be something as simple as putting "Scaled" in front of the original names. Lol

I know your custom art videos take a lot of planning and time but I’d love to see you do an unmade omnimon variants video. I’d especially love to see an ancient omnimon or even another omni x that took more elements from wargrey and melga x

Well, depending on how many different members/variants of a given species are required to warrant a ranking video, I think a fun one could be, either a Kabuterimon-species, or Seadramon-species ranking video.

Out of the original 8 partners Digimon Gabumon was and is still my favorite. I concur that The antibody-X Mega form is cool but the Bond of Friendship is still the coolest!

I feel like the Garurumon line isn't given as much shine as the Greymon line which is unfortunate because they're like 2 sides of the same coin in my opinion imagine a Omegamon/Omnimon variant for each of their counterparts

In my headcanon, Psychemon evolves into Sangloupmon to Astamon.

I feel so heard!! That Garuru "species" is one of my favorites because I'm so polarized on them. I'm either "this is perfect" or "nah I hate it". Also, and I think this is from the PS1 days, I could've sworn there were interpretations of Gururumon as white with black stripes. I feel that would look so much better than whatever hyper saturated thing is happening in the official art 😅

Something I just noticed. You've talked about how Blitz Greymon and Cres Garurumon are inverses of the dynamic of War Greymon and Metal Garurumon (Same with Victory and Z'd) but I just noticed that Blitz Greymon is very similar to Magna Garurumon. And you could say Cres is very similar to Emperor Greymon too.

Totally agree with you on Black Were/Metalgarurumon and MetalGarurumon X here: I also prefer Black Weregarurumon because of the military camo pants, and while i'm meh on the normal version, I love Black Metalgarurumon, specifically in Cyber Sleuth where it had red eyes ands some other color tweaks vs the Bandai art. And like you, Metalgarurumon X is my top favorite here: I love the big chaingun arm it has and the missiles and cannons it has strapped to it's shoulders and such, I wish normal Metalgarurumon had more of that too. I think the one thing where we deviate is that I WANT to like Weregarurumon X, I really dig it's huge metal claws, but it's head/neck being almost devoir of fur makes it look sort of gangling and gross, which I don't like here.

My guy you need to do the same thing with all Leomon

I think his card in the new tcg does it more justice for Garurumon X and I might be one of the few who wished Metalgarurumon X was the actual design and pose you know

I'm going to be honest I wish garurumon had something that was like Gaiomon taking the idea of the Digimon and then putting it in a different form so gaiomon was originally going to be intended as a black Wargreymon X then changed it to be its own greymon subspecies. So instead of it having claws it actually had two swords and I was hopeful that maybe garurumon would have had that same treatment since garuruman and greymon are a pair basically in Digimon. So maybe take the gun aspect that you get from garurumon and instead turn it into something like a gunslinger werewolf which now that I think about it sounds oddly cool (plus it also be pretty cool if it had its own mode like for instance gioman got itto mode or in English fierce blade mode, so maybe if it had its own mode it could be called something like berserk blaster mode) but this is legitimately just me rambling

Gabumon / Psychemon / black Gabumon, and all the various forms of the digivolutions were always my favourites. I have all the Yamato / Matt stuff I could get. I’ve cosplayed Matt, and all the things lol 😂 I was excited when I heard about Gururumon in world 2, but I was let down… I think I’ll re draw it the way I thought it would look as a psychemon lover.

Gabumon's Digivolution line is my fave, love a lot of others but it's such a good line for me.

I’ve always preferred Weregarurumon over MetalGarurumon because I’ve always love werewolves and WereGarurumon is supposed to be a werewolf.

I feel like Zeedgarurumon and Victorygreymon haven't gotten an Omnimon variant because they themselves are basically more Omnimon like versions of the originals. Zeedgarurumon is basically a Metalgarurumon with the Omnimon cannon instead of the usual weapons and Victorygreymon is the same but with Omnimon's sword.

I always found the garuru elemental powers to be strange. Greymon is essentially always associated with fire, but the garuru side of things is usually associated with ice, light, and occasionally even thunder. Is there an in universe reason for this?

I'm so ready for survive I hope Gabu and Agus crest forms are in it from the movie

Oh darn. I thought you were going to go in order of the digidestined Digimon ha ha. Not like there's many other variants for the other kids though.

Yessssssss!

Honestly I do love MetalGarurumon X-Antibody's design. It's so different from the regular counterpart, but it also looks so cool. I also like CresGarurumon, it looks pretty cool with it's gold color Honestly I don't really like AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon's designs because their designs were made for selling toys, same reasoning as Aldamon and Beowulfmon, where their previous forms were combined to make one entity. If it weren't for the toylines, I wonder if their designs would have been different

CresGarurumon might be my favourite ultimate/mega. I loved when the vpet 20th came out with those new Digimon and Alter S might be my favourite Omegamon (after Omekamon lol) 02 and Xros Wars made me love gold Digimon. And its evolution in 2020 was great, plus I love its weapon. But honestly I think I like adult and perfect Digimon more overall almost nothing beats Garurumon and Weregarurumon. I had the digivolving toy as a kid and I took it with me everywhere lol. I legitimately couldnt tell the difference between Garurumon and Gururumon until someone explained it to me this year lol

Am I the only one that wants a Garurumon for each Greymon? I don't know I just think of them as a duo, and the fact that there are some duos that aren't complete annoys me.

Yay! Magnagarurumon is my favourite garurumon🤩

I was really turned off by most of the X-antibody variants when they started debuting - and the animation of X-Evolution didn't help any. Looking back at the card art now, I can concede that MetalGarurumon X is definitely cooler than I gave him credit for. Still not an S for me, but maybe B+/A-.

i can never get bored of metalgarurumon

Garurumon X seems like a Metal Garurmon. And I believe that's why it exist. To be the Garurumon counterpart to Metal Greymon. Since the evolution lines for Argumon and Gabumon are often matching pairs in whatever they appear in. Plus their lines tends to be the Adventure Standard despite how there's many paths can be taken. After all, Were Garurumon seems to be the the one that can transition into CresGarurumon the best. Since they're both bipedal and its reasonable to believe that a Were garurumon just grabbed a weapon and used it for a long time before becoming CresGarurumon.

Speaking of Black variant Digimon, do a ranking video for it. It might introduce me to some other Black variant Digimon that I haven't heard of. Also, I'm a fan of the Black variant of Digimon too

Ever since i played World championship i always wanted to see VictoryGreymon and ZeedGarurumon in anime 100% ultra forms

Funny enough, when I was a kid, I preferred Gabumon over Agumon. But, now as an adult, I've grown to love Agumon's whole lines over the Gabumon lines. I think the only exception being the Light Spirit. There are just designs I don't like all that much (mainly WereGarurumon. Something feels off with him, clunky like you said) and Blitzgreymon just blows Cres out of the water. I still love Metal Garu but the Grey's just keep winning with each new addition. If Survive adds a new Greymon, I'm sure I'll adore it like Victory, Blitz, and War

I think a cool video would be you ranking all the digi destined

Pretty interesting list, really great you know whats up on Black Metal being a Metalhead myself Immortal is great some my favorites are Melechesh, Emperor, Darkthrone, Marduk, Lord Of Depression, Carpathian Forest anyways my Garurumon Ranking Tier be prolly be something like this: S Tiers= ZeedGarurumon, CresGarurumon, MetalGarurumon, BlackMetalGarurumon, Garurumon, BlackGarurumon A Tiers= ShadowWereGarurumon, AncientGarurumon, MetalGarurumon X, Gururumon B Tiers= WereGarurumon, MagnaGarurumon, WereGarurumon Saggitarius Mode C Tiers= All the remaining X Antibody Forms just not too big on them

Hereby referring to film “The Tooth Fairy” as Dwayne Johnson (Sagittarius Mode)

Hey Karn! First - thanks for the consistently fun videos! Curious, and I’m sorry it’s not super on topic, but what song is playing when you’re going over M.Garurumon X? It sounds so familiar but I can’t put my finger on it!

Here’s hoping one for each of the OG digidestined

You should make a what if the other 8 spirits got forms using the other spirits becoming forms like KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon

I love that Z'dGarurumon and VictoryGreymon look like they have Omegamon's Garuru Cannon and Grey Sword as weapons. My headcanon is that its Agumon and Greymon's evolution after giving their power to Imperialdramon like in the movie where only Omegamon'a body becomes Imperialdramon's sword. In a way I dont really want to see an Omegamon because it's like they already have the power of Omegamon. (Especially if they ever get used as evos for WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon somewhere)

I will say this there are some x anti-body version digimon which fit their level just as one of those digimon power ups that give them the strength of their upper level while staying at their current level giving them that suprise strength factor. Ex. A champion with the strength of an ultimate

i love the first time i see metal garurumon X in the Dmw4, one of many reason that i play that game even till this date in emulator. but magnagarurumon still be on special place in my heart. because i didnt really favour the weird & unique concept of frontier, but seeing metal garurumon became a plane just sold that series thoroughly. its even capable to left the wing and gun to go full melee to respect the lobomon fighting style if i remember correctly.

Would be cool if we could see list like this for all 8 main kids, or even 02 kids, but sadly they don't have much in terms of slide evolutions (both 01 and 02). Even if it was doable for 02 without the digieggs would Veemon be the only one who would have a tier list?

Gotta love an unexpected No More Heroes reference

I'd like to see what you think of the many Leomon variants.

U should put a a+ section on the tier list to represent the ‘low s’ section that you use a lot :)

I like Garurumon but he's always put up with Greymon and Greymon's gonna win every time for me

I never noticed that Psychemon has a skull on his belly 💀😁

I like that BlackWereGarurumon is usually show to keep his tail but normal WereGarurumon is hit or miss on the tail depending on the media it's in.

I always found it interesting how weregarurumon never has a tail in the anime but often does in other media

Karn, Can you PLEASE rank all the Frontier spirits? That would be so cool!!!!

I just realized the digiarmor of friendship is the same color as black metal garurumon

Agree with all of theses

I do like these types of videos, but the best videos are always the custom art videos.

There is new art for garurumon x and weregarurumon x btw. The card game has them in an upcoming booster deck. I have them in Japanese. They aren’t in English yet And I didn’t care for the black garurumon until the card game. The card for that one is the best garurumon art yet.

The embodiment of the power of friendship in anime

They did my boi justice with the x antibody it seems

Maybe we could try doing some more franchise crossovers. I recently have been wondering what Digimon that have acquired or appropriated Bionicle data could be like; especially in the case of the Toa. For those unfamiliar with Bionicle, the Toa are these guardian warriors that are sort of attuned to different elements; go check out the Bionicle wiki to see what all the different elements are because they have more of the base set, which each of the Toa sort of utilizes and embody but in this sort of heroic way. Bioncle's base elements, meaning there is a known Toa for each of them, are Fire, Water, Earth, Air/Wind (the movies call it Wind a lot but the wiki just calls it Air), Stone (Yes, Stone and Earth are different elements in this context), and Ice. So, 6 Toa, 6 Elements. Each individual Toa has their own unique weapon, and that weapon can (and usually does) as a conduit for their elemental power (even when used by someone else, interestingly enough), but each Toa has a unique ability that isn't actually tied to their element but more a reflection of an aspect of their personality in the form of their "Mask Power," so yes, each Toa mask has different power and ability. Granted, you'll have to go into each Toa's bio and look at the masks they had to learn what sort of power each mask has, So, the idea of these biomechanical beings having their life data basically copied and incorporated into a Digimon is sort of fun to think about. a MetalGururmon with the data of an Ice Toa could be fun to see, especially when you take the mask power of that particular Toa being superimposed onto that MetalGururmon to give MetalGururumon that power as well, one of the Ice Toa had the power to see through solid objects while another Ice Toa had the power of Telekenisis, can you imagine a MetalGururumon with supercharged Ice powers and the power to move things with its mind? That would be absolutely ridiculous; or WarGreymon with supercharged Fire powers with the ability to generate energy shields or turn invisible? Yeah, one of the Fire Toa has the ability to generate energy shields while another was shown with the power to turn invisible, the Toa with the power to turn invisible also had these prophetic-like visions but also suffered from confidence issues.

Time to wait for Kabuterimon variants

Magnagarurumon is probably my favourite

Cresgaruromon reminds me of that mega level Garurumon counterpart in Data Squad. 😅😅😅

oddly enough, not a fan of weregarurumon but I love black weregarururmon. Maybe it's becasuse i got my bancholeomon from the black variant but the dark fur just works so much better.

No judgement bro I myself love black wargreymon more than the other

Something that makes me rank z'd as an s rank for me is that in the manga it looks like the cannon isnt inherently on it's back? Its stored in the body and the cannon kn the back is a mode change and the revolver barrel coming out the torso is sick

Metalgarurumon X is straight up a blue and yellow Tau battlesuit

I get what they were going for with wargreymon and metalgreymon having alternated stages with weregarurumon and metalgarurumon, but it just makes his digivolution feel a bit janky, which sucks since the line is pretty good looking as a whole

Needed to include kendogarurumon

Cresgarurumom is ELITE But a bit of a hot take: I like gaomon species better

The reason why I like Magna and X Garurumon. Gun and lot of it.

Literally the only change I would make to this list is swapping metalgarurumon x with zeedgarurumon

What are some animals or concepts that haven't had Digimon based on them that you'd like to see?

Personally, I think Ancient Garurumon’s design works better as a fusion evolution for Beowulfmon than the actual design we got. Ancient Garurumon’s design just kinda flows better as a combination on the human and beast spirits if you ask me

I know this is not the topic of this video, but I'm confused...the digimon VB are coming to north america? Englosh menus and all the stuff? Is there a date?

So in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen there is something that's playing 8-Bit sprites, where could I find something similar?

That one thing that find a little odd or annoying with the main garurumon like in Adventure is starts off biped, then quadruped, the biped, the quadruped again.

Wasent there like another garurumon in frontier? Kendo garurumo/lightning garurumon or something like that? It was wight and had wheels behind it legs I thing.

Make a video ranking all tyrannomon too. Sorry for my bad english.

Why not do the dramon species next
