I Ranked EVERY Crest Of Courage Digivolution! 

Thanks for watching, everyone! Vegas decided not to render an image of Omnimon Merciful Mode at 14:00 but let's just all collectively agree I did that on purpose because I hate it, tah xo ALSO! WarGreymon X and Omegamon X show up in Decode as cameos loosely connected to Tai, so I WAS right to put them on the list. They'd both go at A. There's an argument to be made that Taichi in V-Tamer does have affiliation with the Crest of Courage but it's in a very recent oneshot and leads to a very half-arsed fusion. I'd say at BEST Taichi V-Tamer has one Courage-related evolution but even then it feels like Taichi V-Tamer is a courageous person unrelated to a Crest and it's only when Taichi 2020 shows up with the Crest that anything happens #TittyTorpedoes

Your channel has practically single handedly gotten me back into Digimon. I loved the show growing up, so this channel is so fun.

Shadramon is my favorite courage evo for sure. I love the idea of little timid Wormmon + courageous fire equaling this really angry armored fire butterfly.

always reminds me of this when ppl argue something about writing, what kills a vampire? ANYTHING YOU WANT vampires are fictinal and you can write them however you want

The original Agumon line is definitely like vanilla ice cream. It's nice.. could be more.. but.. nice..

Idea to improve the bound evolutions - Make it more Biomerge like - incorporate aspects from previous evolutions physically and aesthetically

I sometimes forget that Skull greymon just.... backhanded that other Grermon into the shadow realm.

Tai’s WarGreymon does actually become an X-Antibody, he’s partnered with WarGreymon X and later Omnimon X in Re:Digitize. His Agumon also evolves to BlackWarGreymon in the Digivice ver. Complete that just came out like a year ago? Anyways, just wanted to mention these forms are technically Tai’s as well lol. V-Tamer Tai also does use the Crest of Courage for UlforceVeedramon: Future Mode in the Adventure: crossover manga one-shot.

I've been subscribed to you for a few months now and been loving the contnet. I know you've mentioned 02 is your favorite multiple times. But seeing the 02 stuff all in the upper tiers on this list really showed your love for 02. 02 is also my favorite season, so I love that YOU love it. It's always nice seeing a popular Digi-fan giving some love for 02!

I really like these type of videos. I get to see your thoughts on digimon I like and then even discover ones I’ve never seen before. Thanks man!

I’ll never get over the fact that boarmon wasn’t patomon’s digiegg of courage digivolution just as a reference to TK thinking he’ll digivolve into a pig.

I agree with your ranking, mercy mode should have had legs with different Digimon kinda like a Megazord. The annoying thing about the bond of courage form is it should have been maybe white armour with orange accents rather than a sexy greymon cosplay. Also if veemon got a "bond of blank" mode would he be "Vemmon bond of miracles"?

The past Karn and future Karn bits are honestly just always progressively getting better, and I'm always here for it!

I have to mostly agree with this list. I do find myself liking kizuna agumon a lot more the more I expose my brain to it's design (ironic considering my hate for last evolution) idk about the veemon stuff because I didn't think his evolutions were outright tied to crest of courage outside of him being "born" from the crest of courage (guess it could go either/or) again, solid list. have to say that my all time favorite courage digimon (and one of my number one favorite digimon of all time) goes to blitzgreymon. black and red digimon always looked the best to me. and, blitz just feels like a powerful digimon. I love that design so much!! anyways, love ya karn!! keep making spicy digimon content

So if agumon bond of courage further digivolved would that make him greymon bond of courage 🤔

God I love your content, it's so nice seeing your videos, makes my day. Thank you for the continued content.

Been Following since your videos on Armor evolutions we didn't see in 02. You've already grown as a channel so much. Love the ranking videos. Love the videos showing Digimon id never heard of. Love all of the content. Keep it up Karn!!!!

Merciful mode should've gotten somewhat normal arms or had maybe the different mega's heads throughout its body

Oh damn!!! I remember having that metalgreymon transformation toy too! That thing was one of my favorite toys. I wish I still had it. I had the Imperialdramon Paladin Mode transforming figure too. Use to think it was some Imperialdramon knock off. Unfortunately, I only found out about Paladin Mode a few years after losing it.

I'm new to the channel and I gotta say, I think this is the best Digimon channel on RU-vid. Keep up the great work

I really enjoyed listening to your deep reasoning/ analysis of each Digimon and their ranking! You are really funny too. Looking forward to the rest of the this crest ranking series. Any plans to do a Frontier Spirits ranking in the future?

Lynxmon: You can't get touched if your on fire.

Gonna be honest, as much as I love Jogress, I hope if we ever get a 02 Reboot they drop Jogress. Only so that ExVeemon, Wormmon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon their own full-through lines and that you know it seems like they'll probably drop the DigiMental concept.

Your channel makes me love Digimon so much, despite being a recent fan (I got into Digimon when I played Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition on the Switch). Please keep up the good work, and keep making such fun content for Digimon. I love how big and expansive the franchise is, and I enjoy learning about niche areas of it through you.

Stumbled on a link to this video on Twitter. Am now subscribed!

YES THANK YOU KARN. Why were they not biomerges!?!? They were literally the perfect forms to represent a biomerge. I have my own headcanon that since they appeared in the neverrealm or whatever it’s called, where the kids were effectively just avatars of their real bodies, if they were to reach that level in the real worlds, it would be a biomerge. But in that realm they could exist as an avatar outside of that.

Just regarding your comment on biomerging, it was a concept reintroduced for Digimon Savers as well when the DATS team encountered a group of humans that Kurata employed to hunt down the DATS team. Instead of digimon partners they biomerged into digimon themselves. First into armour digimon and then into bioforms of mega-level digimon.

I can see why you like the buggy boi, That moth evolution is awesome

Another great video

Great video I liked all the ranks you did keep up the great work.

... Your points have me considering an alternate merciful mode, with Omegamon's torso without the arms attached, instead having the eight arms representing the eight chosen children's partners floating 'loosely' around it, a bit like the Hindu gods? The arms themselves could be fairly neutral with just the crest to show who was being represented, or fully representative as how it is with the standard Omegamon.

Wargreymon/BlackWarGreymon are my absolute favorite Digimon of all time, automatic S+ tier for me! When I was a kid, after Omnimon first debuted in the movie I actually designed and drew my own Digimon named Destinymon who was a fusion of all eight of the original Digimon partners. Among all the pieces it had WarGreymon’s head, omnimon style Garudamon and MetalGarurumon arms, MegaKabuterimon’s torso, Lilymon’s and Zudomon’s legs, and big angel wings from MagnaAngemon and Angewomon. I still have that picture somewhere Anyway, great video! I agree with you about Kizuna (much better than Tri) - As much as I love the movie (I cry like a baby at the end every time) the Bond of Courage/Friendship digivolutions would have made a lot more sense both design wise and story wise if they had done something like biomerging… I actually thought that’s what they had done until I saw The kids riding their shoulders.

I enjoyed this vid Karn. Nice gtouping

I think the last evolution forms are done a disservice because they aren't a biomerge. Their designs SCREAM it. And because you know it's a thing, and no they aren't. it just feels off. At least to me XD

I've been waiting for this list for awhile! Love the Crest of Courage Digivolutions. Pretty much all my favorite Digimon of each level are a Courage Digivolution. Though I have never been a fan of the super metallic forms coming out of it. like BlitzGreymon, or even Imperialdramon's guns. To me it makes more sense for a Courage evolution to sort of rush in and fight and then Finish the opponent off with an energy blast or a flame attack. Since I feel so strongly about the Courage evolutions I think I will post below my tiers for them. I won't go into detail on each choice, because I think my above statements cover the majority. So...

SkullGreymon is one of my favorite digimon. It perfectly shows how trying to become stronger can be a bad thing.

I remember when my dad took me to see the movie in theaters been a fan for years I even had that Greymon toy

Wonderful list

"Tai, we need Omegamon!" "Or the Military." "I will punch you, Tai!"

Omegamon in our war game was like an angel descended with the original music while Omnimon in Digimon the movie was like a hero came

KarenEX when you mentioned that greymon/metal greymon toy I legitly remembered having one as well

21:00 Oh, this Imperialdramon FM fanart was made by Sinobali! I recognized the style immediately.

Hey dude! Just found your videos the other day and I'm loving your stuff. I've been a big Digimon fan my whole life but with the 2020 anime and the new card game, my interest is at an all time high. Your videos are great satiation. Quick question: where did you get that little box with all the sprite animations?

Omg, I loved the bit of Future Karn writing to Past Karn.

Flamedramon is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite armor evolutions from 02.

Bro you have earned my sub You have my favorite digimon as posters which are bulucomon and wormmon

Shadramon is GOAT!! Best evolutions come from the Crest of Courage hands down!!! S tiers for me in no order are Shadramon, Flamedramon, Omnimon, WarGreymon, BlackWarGreymon, Blue MetalGreymon(Virus), Veemon, Imperialdramon DM and FM, Omnimon Alter-S. A Tier Lynxmon, Boarmon, FlameWizardmon, Paildramon, ExVeemon, MetalGreymon, Greymon, Agumon, BlitzGreymon, MetalGreymon Alterous Mode. The rest be like B Tiers and below!!

Yeah, my boy with another "Tier" List, I love it!

Hey, have you done a video on the armor evolutions if they actually made sense, and actually showed the armar egg and sigimon in it. Like you know how hallemos makes sense, but like a lot of the other ones don't make sense.

Though you’re doing courage.. your hair is giving me Matt!! He’s my favorite character on the show so I’m not mad at all…. Nevermind you just said it 😭

Waking up to a Karn video on a Sunday 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I hope you survived the Shakkoumon episode 🤣🤣

@karn EX i had a cool thought. with your love of gen 2, what would you choose to be the other ancient digimon that were hidden away under the other three digimentals. heck you could do hope and light as well.

I cant wait till you rank the olympus 12 and demon lords and all their digivolutions

Nice list! idk why but I was expecting mugendramon lol

I imagine armadillomon evo sequence being something where it’s shell catches fire and then builds in volume and intensity until boarmon is there. Something like the armor is actually underneath the fire but you can see bc there’s so much flame ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

😂 that skit towards the end was gold

Hey I know that a lot of people are sick of Omegamon but I think it’s cool that he’s so recognizable that everyone automatically knows it’s Digimon. Twenty years later and Omegamon still fucks

Besides the treatment of the 02 cast, what didn't you like about Tri?

Skullgreymon needs its own final form.

I am oddly curious about a vid analyzing the Ten Warriors and possible connection between them and the crests, like Courage from AncientGreymon and Friendship from AncientGarurumon.

O no, now I csn't unsee Imperialdramon FM as fusion U-Veedramon and Alphamon, what you do.

The kizuna evolutions are somehow over designed yet very very under designed. Very interesting

Omnimon Alter-S did appear in Digimon 2020 in the final battle with Millenniumon. It was a brief showing and I think most may have missed it but it was there.

I agree. The biomerging was a missed opportunity for Last Evolution Kizuna. Also, I don't hate Agumon Bond of Courage, but it doesn't compare to Agumon's previous evolutions.

So good 😊

Since you are Wormmon and 02 anime fan, I wanna ask you: What if, in 02 anime Ken would use Wormmon for dark evolution instead of Agumon, which digimon/digimons he would digievolve in to?

Sense Agumon dark digivolved to Machinedramon in 2020, does that count?

What do you think the Digimon forms would be for every season If the digidestined could use spirit evoluten

Can't wait until you do the original digidestined with Digi Armor for their Digimon

What are the lore reasons for the bonds of courage and friendship looking the way they do?

Hello from the future, You were indeed right about alter S being the final digimon to win in digimon 2020. Congratulations,

What if we give armors digivol to the Champion form of digimon 02? Example: Exveemon use digi egg of courage

When Adventure 2020 started, there was a cross-over oneshot manga chapter with V-Tamer and in that V-Tamer Taichi did that Crest of Courage.

why did the “writers can write anything they want” sequence make me laugh so hard

Went to my parents recently to help them clean out their house and found my original brick digivice, the Adventure blue digivice and my 02 black digivice. so many memories. wish we could find my original D-power. was always my favorite.

Lmfaaaooo the edit about what you forgot 😂 “you fucking moron” Love your brand of comedy 😆

I have always loved the original MetalGreymon(Now virus or BK) as with how the robotic parts looking just shoved on and into him the kinda gave a undead feel to him like the skin was dead and decaying and the robotic parts are what kept him alive.

I love the idea of Imperialdramon with Omnimon arms. Honestly Paladin mode is kind of like a fusion of Omnimon and Imperialdramon but not really because he's just using Omnimon's sword and the color scheme kind of matches Omnimon's main body. I totally agree, I love the moment that appeared in the story but I wish they did something different and made it more of a fusion between all of them rather than just a mode change. I don't agree about Imperialdramon having less of Stingmon in the design. All of that armor is Stingmon. There's a lot less Veemon showing. You can kind of see a little more of Veemon in fighter mode with the hands and his new face revealing more of that Veemon blue but in Dragon mode really all you get is the tail. It looks more like a fusion than the alternative that only looks like a big bug with no Veemon visible what so ever but I wouldn't say that Imperialdramon doesn't have much of Stingmon visible in the design when literally all of the armor is from Stingmon. It's less obviously a bug if that's what you mean but looking at Palidramon and Imperialdramon side by side it's pretty obvious how all the Stingmon parts evolved into Imperialdramon's armor. Is it weird to be talking this much about armor on a Digimon that is not an Armor Digimon?

That Family Guy edit made me choke on my drink

Bio merge evolution was used in the veedramon manga it was stated that it takes from the life force of the human to cause the evolution

ive never been more caught off guard than i have just now by peanut butter baby

Are there any fan made evolutions for the new Digimons?

I think blackwargreymon rightfully had a spot on this tier list because it was brave enough to fight a more experienced wargreymon and imperialdramon FM at the same time

Well, think of Boarmon like the armor turned into more power of flame, and perhaps hard headed... This is coming from someone not as familiar with any info about Boarmon though. Shadramon also looks like a mirror to Flamedramon. I love GeoGreymon and his line just as much as the classic Agumon lines. And I also love all of the Veemon Line. Plus the cool as heck new different digivolutions for Greymon and Agumon I hadn't seen until I frequented your channel recently. The MetalGreymon Alterus Mode is like an awesome design change, and BlitzGreymon is just a good shoot boi, very awesome. Agumon Bond of Courage is cool looking, but it seems like it is a bit underwhelming as a final form (from context your opinion seems realistic, and I am kind of leaning to agree.)

Please We need a video of your goodies collection

Dude I too was creeped out by skull greymon I didn't watch Digimon for a whole week 😂😂

3:52 isn't machinedramon the one that gets parts from other mechanics digimons?

I’m mad you showed me that pic of alphamon & pareldramon. I REALLY XANT unsee it dude 😂😩😩

Actually isn't Tai(from vtamer) Shown with The digicrest of courage in the crossover but is stated he isn't the one to wield it even if he has it

yea honestly this ranking makes since but got me thinking. What if you just designed a digimon?

funny enough I did a fan-art poster for my partner digimon Black Agumon to Blitzgreymon thet went BlackAgumon, GeoGreymon Virus, Vi-Rise Greymon, Blitz Greymon

Your very odd you added the Veemon line including the fusions but not the spirit of fire line. And yes the bond evolution should be biomerge and I do agree omnimon merciful mode is a weak design. I don't understand a digimon whose a fusion of 8 reduced its color pallette into just 2. His just a angelic mod for omnimon. If you want a design that's a fusion of all 8 take notes to Susanoomon

The Vmon natural evolutions didn’t use the crest of courage though?

Here's a little interesting tidbit about Flamedramon, you don't need Veemon to armor digivolve into Flamdramon, you can use Guilmon instead. Sadly the two versions look exactly alike, If only they gave the Guilmon on variant red skin instead of blue.

I do appreciate the AD HP bar

I doubt anyone’s still responding to these, but, to anyone reading, which do you prefer? Giant Wargreymon, or small Wargreymon? I’m partial to the smaller one, but that’s just me.

he says t-word torpedos, i say nipple nukes

I much prefer lynx mon in that art style than how it looks in the anime. It's a bit too much like Meramon in the anime for me. The artsyle looks like a red cat clad in red flames and it looks so cool.

why not agunimon and ancientgreymon Karn? Do they not count as courage digimon?

I’m kind of sad you didn’t include the burning Machinedramon from Adventure 2020. Yes it was kind of an incomplete evo but I think it still counts
