I Ranked EVERY Armor Digimon! 

So I guess Pegasusmon X, Rhinomon X and Rapidmon X just... aren't considered Armor Level? Which is why they aren't on the list? Anyway give Rhinomon X and Rapidmon X both B lol

You can really tell how much they loved the Veemon Armors.

Here's my little amour conspiracy theory that I'm surprised no one has brought up. I think it's likely that some of the non-anime armoured mons like Mambomon, Togemorumon, Thunderbirdmon, etc, were originally rejected designs that were repurposed. It might explain why they're so inconsistent with either the Digimon they evolve from or the Digi-egg/Digimental they're associated with.

Poor Patamon really got the short end of the stick with Armour evolutions

Armor digimon is such an awesome idea in digimon and I wish it was acknowledged more by some of the older seasons. Glad it got some outings in 2020

17:39 I felt so validated to hear you say Frogmon looks like an Agumon evolution. I've thought that myself for a long time!

Karn: I ranked every armor digimon Me: and i will watch evey second of this video because you did that, good sir

Hey Karn, currently downloading this for my lunch break tomorrow. Thanks for getting me back into Digimon dude. Ive been watching your stuff for the past year, and i dont comment much, but just know you've had an impact on my life. Keep it up =)

It's weird how Patamon should be so easy to design to (just make the body underneath the armor orange and the wing ears show), but it has some of the worst or most nonsensical armor evolutions. I'm really waiting for the next armor fixing videos, they are what brought me to the channel in the first place!

My favorite armor is Coatlmon because I love Aztec mythology. And with the release of Tlalocmon I hope we will see more Aztec based digimon in the future.

I really wish we could see more of the digi-egg of darkness. It has the opportunity for all sorts of things since we know so little about it.

@5:34 I think it could be a Ponyta/Rapidash situation where depending how much Lynxmon trusts it’s tamer, the flames will not hurt them when riding it as a mount.

What I kind of love about Digimon evos is that it's great when alot of them make sense, but others just don't make any sense at all, and in my head I think that's just the digital world trying to make sense of data on the internet that we all know alot of it doesn't make sense at all. 😂

My fav's are flarewizardmon (love the giant match sticks) and gargoylemon (very unique holy digimon design) Its crazy how armor digimon have so many amazing bug designs but I wish there were more lines that they could fit in. We need more bug digimon!

Love the content man

Love this vid Karn!

So I've had this thought for a while, but I feel like a lot of people judge Armors based on Veemon's patterns, and kind of assume all Armors follow it because Halsemon and Digmon SEEM to as well. It doesn't help that Pegasusmon and Nefertimon copy it wholesale. What I'm getting at is (and this is in reference to the show, not all Armors) Veemon wears the eggs as actual Armor. This can also been seen with Paildramon who is ExVeemon wearing Stingmon as armor, but Hawkmon seems to have a very organic, physical transformation with little armor involved, hence why Halsemon only has the helmet, Shurimon is unrecognizable, and Silphymon is a perfect blend of the elements of Aquilamon and Gatomon. Then Armadillomon is JUST armor, with almost no elements of him being shown through apart from the ears and eyes, which can also be seen in Shakkoumon where its Ankylomon wrapped entirely in armor motifed from Angemon. All of the themes seen in the show's Armors are then evolved when we get to the DNAs, which is why it always sits a little weird with me when Hawkmon gets a little brunted in these discussions. That being said, I still really enjoy the re-imagining series as giving everyone Veemon's theme, as it's the most visually striking (and the designs are great). Also, to throw a little what-if-ery in here, since Wormmon doesn't have an in-show theming, going off of Paildramon, I always thought it'd be cool if perhaps the DigiMentals became the Digimon, and Wormmon became the armor for them. Might explore that concept myself when my art skills improve a bit.

Great video makes me want to watch all the fix videos again too

Omg your background is starting to looks so cool 🥹

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, NOTIFICATION SQUAD REAL ONES! This took so long to record 😅

I do hope you will finish the fixing the armor digivolution, cause I really enjoyed seeing what you and the aritist came up with for the "fixes"

I’m kind of amazed how many of the points you made in this video I said 3 seconds before you did, like a lot of the armours being more fitting to other Digimon and such. We have like 90% the same opinion about these! I’d have cried if you hadn’t put Nefertimon in S tier haha 😂 top video Karn! Much love from Blackpool

And yes another great video

Sethmon is also really cool as a kind of anti Holsamon. Since in Egyptian Mythology Set and Horus the inspiration for the two Digimon are arch nemesis to each other. Uncle and Nephew rivalry. Think Scar and Simba from the Lion King.

I really love that FlaWizardmon's staff is a match. It fits the theming really well and it's a fun little touch.

loved this vid!!!

The connection for Armadillomon and Seahomon is real sea horses are incredibly armored, they are like 80% bone and armor with just barely enough meat for them to move.

FlameWizardmon has given me a great video idea Karn - elemental variants of Wizardmon using the eggs as a basis.

More videos with the Terramon voice please, lol. Great video.

Completely agree sepicmon is a horrible armor but i really love him as a Digimon. To be fair I love monkeys and boomerangs so putting them together is fantastic to melol

Great video, rank spirit evolution next please

Togemogumon is my favorite. Absolutely love the design

flybeemon is my favorite armour digivolution, i even use it in a red insect evo line with tentomon, megakabuterimon and banchostingmon

Man, armor digimon were such a cool idea They should really revisit them

I've always liked all the armor eggs but knowledge, courage, and hope have always been my top (especially hope I'm a big mythology fan)

Seriously I would love for you to do a video with the antibodies becoming the digivolution line to the Digimon and then creating an entire line for them

Yasyamon is my favorite, love it's design

Great video man. I think Raidramon and Magnamon(both forms) are my favorite Armor digimon. I will point out in the Digimon: Digital Card Battle game Raidramon is a Darkness Digimon, while Magnamon is Fire.

CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH. I hope I agree lmao

If the anime could show a kid riding Meramon I'm sure lynxmon would be fine. Maybe it's similar to how Rapidash works in Pokemon

Pteranomon X is the Love of WAR! LOL!

Tbh a fun idea for a custom art video would be like a different take on existing digimon. Like what if owlmon was still an owl, but it wasn’t a crest of love digimon? What is searchmon was like a search and rescue digimon? What if rosemon was more of just a plant?

4:39 flaming wizard! It is very good with fire Very good

Pucchiemon looks like it should be the mascot of Jollibee

Poor patamon got SO shafted. Even the hope egg looks lame.

Take a shot every time Karn says Digiegg

I wish they would use more of the armour mon in the video games, I know digimon world 2003 used them a little bit but that’s really only because the game came out at around the airing of the 02 anime I just had no idea some of these were armour mon

There's a whole video idea where you shuffle around the armors to move them to more appropriate crests & base digimon in here somewhere...

Some of these I would have never thought were armor digivolutions, including toucanmon, who I encountered in a game as one. I for real thought they were a regular digimon shoehorned into armor since it wasn't made with Hawkmon's usual egg.😅

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...

Theory, kindness evolution represents childlike Innocence that was once lost but was found again with fighting and bravery

For a wormon Evo, I think Archellomon works well in concept. A big with an exoskeleton becoming an aquatic Shelled creature works pretty well, plus the antenna. I think the colors are a bit…messy. The pink green and grey all fight for attention, and the pink could’ve been swapped for orange or a lighter grey maybe.

It's always weird how because we already had 2 vaguely holy digimentals, we then have Miracles and Destiny being more vaguely metal/machine themed (machine itself being a theme in Armadillomon armors possibly building off him already having a shell). Its a shame how many armors work well but somehow have their additions not matching the colors.

If not Hawkmon, I'd argue that Thunderbirdmon would be a good friendship digivolution for other rookie-tier bird Digimon such as Biyomon or especially Falcomon.

I personally see Nohemon as more of a Falcomon armor. I know that wasn't the original intent but it's so good.

I have a theory that elaphamon and rhinomon were swapped at some point. Elaphamon's flight ears and more white color scheme just feels more like a patamon with his wing ears and lighter underside. Rhinomon also feels tougher, more armored and more distinctly ground elemented and much more fitting for Armadillomon than patamon.

I can’t lie- Flamedramon should be higher S with Rapidmon! But overall I love this list.

The reason i dislike every courage armor with exception of flamedramon,shadramon,and allomon is because themeing dragons or dinosaurs and fire yet armadillo becomes a fucking boar and the other courage armor just don’t satisfy me but i don’t what to change them because creature design is good but limited also really good vid keep up the great work

Lol you were very generous with some of these xD.

@ 20:23 You can kinda see part of the Love Crest near the base of the Fin. Yeah, I’m kinda in the same boat. Mambamon is good, but not as a Patamon Evo. Plus, Davis and Kari are better for switching Digi-Eggs.

A lot of the X antibodies to me look more like they should be evolutions of the Digimon instead of just being a freaking variant with the X antibody.

I know custom art is pricy but we still are missing so much here. When you're able to, I'd love to see the resign project finally cover the Sincerity, Destiny, Hope, and Light

the house is really coming together

Neeeeeeed to do a video using other Digi-Eggs and what they’ll possibly look like

After watching DA2020 for the first time recently never realized how many Armors were in it.

So, I like your opinions on this even if I don't fully agree with it. I think the one thing you kinda over looked is that there are 2 themes for Hope the way Friendship has 3 themes going on for it (Spikes/Thunder/Ice). For Hope you have "constellations, or ungulates." That is to say, hoofed animals. If you keep that in mind instead, Moosemon fits perfectly. I agree completely though the Kindness Armor evolutions are so bizarre and don't even have a consistency to themselves beyond "cute." I also agree that Allomon is good, and Hawkmon-coded but it's not an armor Digimon. I also think swapping Rhinomon & Elephantmon they would fit much better. This also made me realize how bad all of Armadillomon's armor evolutions are. They're just kinda bad all around.

The real killer with Mambomon is they used a SUNfish with the digiarmor of light, and that’s what we got? I wouldn’t even mind if Patamon turned into a fish, though I’d probably go more the koi or beta route to preserve the angelic/feathery armor. But the fact that the light pun is right there and they gave us a “reliability armor at home” is so disappointing.

Early for the Karn EXperience

I wish that they would bring it back for a series. Maybe with a few new armour eggs

Hm, nice list, i wonder if we’ll get any new Armors that would effect this Ranking somewhat? Anyway, fair points and opinions, i wonder have you fixed all of the Armors at this?

So when are we going to get another armor "fixing" video? I'm waiting to binge the whole series

Veemon really got the best armor forms and Patamon got the worst armor forms. Pegasmon and Nefertimon are perfect pair, Mantaraymon and Tylomon are perfect pair, but Manbomon and Goatmon, as a pair, are so... weird. I have a little theory - Armadimon and Patamon got screwed up in light armor evolution because they are jogress partners. I really like armor digimon, but I don't like their treatment in franchise, namely anime and manga - they often used as minor villain who everyone will forget for five minutes. And, they weren't used in Tri, Kizuna and Beginning.

The thumbnail is giving "YOU MEAN THE CHAOS EMERALDS"

Veemon was clearly the designers' favorite

"Hope digi armor are all based on constellations" Possible, but I think the main theme here is ungulates.

I'm kind of curious how digimon would handle making X antibody forms for something like Mambomon or Pucchimon. Be an interesting challenge if BandaiNamco decides to revisit the X antibody gimmick on a larger scale again in the future.

the kind of video you thought already existed but it actually didn't

daaaang armored x antibody digimon hit haaard

Tbh I’m very curious how many armor digimon were actually designed as armor digimon. The original 02 armors + shadramon, Sethmon, and Sagitarimon were clearly designed with the intent of being armors, in some form or another, but the rest just seem like standalone digimon. I’m very curious is they were actually intended to be armor digimon, or if they were just randomly picked armor evolutions when the pre evo needed a digivolution

27:43 I can see Armadillomon's shell in the chest, but I think it would be better if all the armour was gold and it was Armadillomon with the Digi-egg of Destiny.

Impmon should be able to armor into Fla Wizardmon since Wizardmon has since been made part of its line. It would also justify Nohemon a bit. Also I would either swap Elephamon and Rhinomon or have Armadillomon and Patamon be able to evolve into either of depending on whether they use the Digimental of Miracles or the Digimental of Fate.

So I already forgot the name and am to lazy to go back lol but, the bat patamon with the love armor could be a reference to the saying "love is blind". Just a theory. A FILM THEORY! (Alright I'll leave) good video man!

Like pokedex but digidex qll digimon in orders all forms can you do a video of that

I want to see something different Is Wizarmon I believe in all the digimon he can use all the Cress and Armors? I will say it would be great for a show?? Please talk about it I would love to hear your opinion??

Thoughts on magnamon battle park?

Waiiiit but Rinkmon from Impmon tho? Like o can see Impmons personality in Rinkmon and the head definitely made me think of Beelzemon

Man, why are the vee mon evo so good

Can you do all digimon in ordering and attacking like a digidex

I love magna x. It’s like Magnamon digivolved into a more powerful, stockier, bulkier, more badass version. Magnamon feels a bit weaker in comparison.

Patamon is one of my favorite Digimon, it's prominent in the angelic and Wing Guardian families. Why are so many of the Patamon armors so wildly irrelevant to both Patamon and the associated digimetal. It hurts my soul.

As someone whose participation in the franchise is entirely informed by the anime, Armor Digivolutions looking not so intrinsically tied to the Egg or even the user will always be weird to me. Especially those that are Digivolutions achieved through other methods by Armor Digimon. But frankly maybe everything was backed into a corner by believing that Armor DigiEggs themselves have a single static form resembling the 02 Partner Digimon’s forms achieved through the eggs instead of fluid reactions to whoever they’re linked to. Like liquid mercury

If I'm not mistaken, Moosemon is actually used a Friendship armor for something on the Gaomon tree in Data Squad. I think from Gabumon, but it's been a while so I'm not 100%

13:00 I dont know if youve done the fix or not, but how is a WORM mon BIRD evolution not a Tarantula Hawk??

Persona 3 released recently, maybe you could do a vid of what the evolution line of the main crew's persona cause they look like mega digimon to me lol

I think agree with a lot of of your ranking and I think some Of them should be Switched around like ThunderBirdmon should be Hawkmon with Friendship armour Stegomon should be Armadillomon’s Friendship Armour as they are both anicent Creatures Moosemon or Rinkmon should be Patamon with Friendship armour Chemeleonmon should be Wormmon with Sincerity armour Mambamon should be Reliability armour and I think Allomon could work as an Agumon Courge Armour.

you know it be cool if chaosgallantmon got a dna digivolution with dobrickmon that creates a mode change similar to gallantmoncm but would unique looking , also why no orangegallantmon or a unique gallantmon form also it be cool to get a omnimon like dna evo for samudramon or one for brigdramon with fenierlouggamon also imperladramon fightermode black needs a dna like maybe with malomyotismon

20:26 Feels like Malstormon should be Patamon’s Light armor.

Magnamon is S. I have spoken. PS: The whole Golden Digimental situation made me think that, among all the nobody Digimon, if canon Deltamon had never existed, Rapidmon Gold could have taken that title.

Seahomon looks more like a Demidevimon Armor Evolution and in Digimon Ghost Game two Hawkmon naturally Digivolve into Orcamon.

Patamon's Light evo should've been Bullmon. It works much better when paired with Oryxmon.
