@@Cyril86I still hate Omnimon because is just doesn't make sense, what does "Omni" - a term that is related to All - has to do with "Omega" - a term that is mostly related to end and finality. Then we have V-mon's related Digimon that were localized as "Vee" which I guess is to make sense with the sound, but the same happens to Huanglongmon because in Japanese, the "Hu" works or sounds as "Fu" and the U in many words is silent, which only explains why Fanglongmon is the localization, is the same with Lightdramon. Then there's Machinedramon, who only makes sense in appearance, but not in context as Mugendramon emphasizes on the origin connected to the Mugen Mountain (Infinity Mt.) And their power source.
Betsumon only exists because once upon a time a japanese voice actress and V-Jump editor made a Gatomon cosplay SO BAD that the creators decided to imortalise it forever for funsies.
I’m a bit sad that we didn’t get their reaction to the entire line. It would be hilarious to see them break down seeing a dog becoming a cat, then an angel and finally an archangel or a dragon.
@@professorpantherhardraad3921 I'm sorry, did you just call the ACTUAL 3ft cartoon cat furrybait? That is solidly RENAMON's title, thank you very much!
The real disturbing thing about Betsumon is that it's based on an actual guy they had as one of the promoters for digimon back in the day who actually wore an outfit and makeup like that IIRC? And that's what the Tailmonbetsu is.
I think that Etemom had the same thing, with Etemonkey, or that wa his name, I don't remember well. That's something interesting because there are an amount of Digimon made and designed with a person in mind. Etemon was designed by a Navigator who dressed as Etemon, Betsumon is another example, and then we have HUBmon and Navimon. HUBmon was designed based on Habu Kazumasa, current director of the games, and Navimon was also a Navigator but doesn't have official art.
Gatomon is a good option for Uver. For a couple reasons, 1- cats are known for bringing 'gifts' to their owners in the form of birds/small rodents By that logic, it makes perfect sense for a delivery Digimon. Also the there's a Japanese Delivery company called "Yamato Transport" they wear green, (like Uver.'s outfit) also their company logo is like a black cat carrying a kitten in its mouth. So that explains why they chose Black Tailmon/Black Gatomon instead of regular.
@@christopherbennett5858 good point no clue why i didnt think of Kiki's delivery service, since i enjoy Ghibli. Its still funny they went with Uver as a name when the design is based on a Japanese company that to my knowledge is nothing like uber
9:05 Also, B and V are pronounced the same way in japanese, so for japanese people, the name is the same. This led them to write "Uver" in roman letters for, you know... legal reasons. And you were indeed pronouncing Mikemon wrong, the name comes 'mikeneko' which is japanese for tortoiseshell cat.
@@slavishentity6705 but it's literally a blacktailmon variant, the reference book even states that it's only this way because of it accidentally taking in data from a courier service (Uber Eats)
@@slavishentity6705 Black Tailmon Uver. is an amalgamation of various traits and pieces of equipment commonly associated with gig economy delivery workers, including the similar style of its delivery box/backpack to those used in food delivery, its hoodie and hat, and its use of bicycles (in its case, Pistmon) in its delivery rounds as noted in its Digimon Reference Book profile. The choice of Black Tailmon, a black cat, as such a delivery worker may allude to Yamato Transport, a Japanese courier company whose logo is a black cat carrying its kitten.
I know Nico and Kyle look tired/exasperated in a lot of the Digimon videos so I hope the game isn't actually upsetting them too much 😅 It's really fun to watch especially as someone who knows the franchise and it's quirky weird names and inconsistent localizations. This episode was great. BlackGatomon Uver was definitely a bit weird, but I like it mostly because it was in the most recent anime series, Ghost Game. It pretty much does what you'd think: make deliveries and mail. The Digimon Twitter actually releases a lot of art for anniversaries, events, and other stuff and there's a cute art of all the Gatomon variants and Mikemon and Meiccoomon just hanging out.
Definitely feeling the whole 'over-exaggerated negative reaction' bit has run it's course by this point. Was hoping we could get more generally positive episodes like the Halloween one.
I’ve done some thinking and some soul searching and I’ve come to the realisation that if these videos didn’t end I would never actually stop watching, I would just sit here giggling until I starved to death
"Really upsets me thats theres that many gatomon"... you know what must be done, all agumon next. I did think the lack of holy ring was weird but senor bulgemon had a fake one
Little Trivia: Tailmon Betsu was the name of a character that appeared in the Digimon sections of V-Jump magazines, it was portrayed by a Japanese Voice Actress that worked at the V-Jump Editorial Department by using a Tailmon/Gatomon costume. Eventually as a sort of tribute i guess, Betsumon was created based on Tailmon Betsu. That's kinda a common thing, as digimon like Etemon, Volcamon and Targetmon were also made based in people that worked on the franchise (Then there's the ones that aren't fully official like Hubmon and WoodWoodymon)
Someday I would enjoy people reacting to the Reference Book profiles of various Digimon. From the most normal like Agumon, to the most crazy like the many Dark Area and/or Nightmare Soldiers that are really horrific. Like with the Pokémon entries in the PokeDex, just that not trying to guess because it can be hard.
I'm sure it's probably just a bit, but Nico becoming increasingly dead inside with each video is honestly kinda taking me out of it, because it comes across as him being unreasonably upset about this as opposed to jokingly being mad. Can I get a confirmation he's actually having fun with this and not being dragged here? That said, honestly valid reaction from both of them for Betsumon. Even we among the Digimon fandom do not want them.
Mitch here: Speaking on Nico's behalf- this recording session was not on a very good day for him. He got worn down over the course of our recording schedule and the result was his lack of energy for a lot of the videos in the batch. The good news is that he's totally fine, and the next batch of videos will be rolling out soon where we're all our usual selves again. Thanks for your concern
Lmao Nico here, yeah no this was a long recording session after a long work day and everything just kinda went wrong for me so I was just drained by the end. Much more energy in upcoming recordings, promise
@@NicoOnFBS Glad to hear! I definitely understand that kind of drain, so I get you. Love watching these, even as a Digimon fan, so I hope you get to feeling better. Take care!
@@FueledBySandwiches Omg if you do do this PLEASE have a bit where you explain to them that people genuinely thought that one of the Knight's name derived from Jesus
@@RaiRaiRaven actually a misconception that Jesmon's name derives from jesus. I get why people think this due to the nature of being taken care of and trained by sistermons, but the the real name of jesmon is so funny, stupid, and badass at the same time. Justice Edge Swordman
And they didn't even find out that gatomon becomes angewomon and then becomes magnadramon. Just imagine their reactions if they saw the whole line, all these animal themed Digimon with a sexy woman plopped right in the middle
The evolutions are a lot less confusing when you stop thinking of Digimon as animals or the like - they're digital, so a cat-like one can become a dog-like one on account of them both having "beast data", etc All they really need is one trait or so in common that can act as their "link" so to speak
The fact that Gatomon, a cat, evolves from a puppy, evolves into an angel who can then evolve further into an even higher-ranking angel or a dragon depending on the presence of one plot device ring that isn't even exclusive to the Gatomon line is one of the reasons why it is in my top five favorite 'mons.
I LOVED this video- gatomon is my favorite digimon and i was hoping you would use mikemon as well! was not disappointed. sad you guys were killed at the end though ):
There is one more Gatomon Gatomon X, X Digimon are pretty much the same design just stylistically more over the top. Gatomon X's tail is very long and it's holy ring is so worn loosely around the neck because it's huge.
Asking about the holy tail ring makes more sense especially since gatomon turns into an angel, then into a holy dragon. Cats are usually protectors of religious sanctuaries in fiction
BigTailmon is actually kinda funny because Digimon literally just used "Big" as the beginning of name adjective for the final form of a Digimon in the new movie.
I'd love to see these guys subjected to the episode of Ghost Game where a bunch of Betsumon start stealing people and Digimon's identities by putting on suits that look like them. And then they get defeated because they hate chocolate. Ghost Game is wild.
4:15 no he's definitely right, literally the first 2 things I said when the picture came up were "I love Gatomon, she's super cute," followed immediately by "wait, where's the ring on her tail?"
@@DemonVermin They didn't, the loss of the Holy Ring results in a weakened Gatomon with the strength of a Rookie-level Digimon but it's only a separate form for gameplay purposes.
@@TheTakato122 Vpets count here. It technically also has a profile on it from an official source, just like how some digimon like Whamon and Minotaurmon have been Adult or Perfect respectively even though we know them differently. Digimon has always kinda worked as an everything can be canon due to how it works. Its all data so every anomaly, every discrepancy can be considered canon. Edit: Due to the recent promotional DIM card, Gatomon can now evolve into Aquilamon. One of my favorite thing about Digimon is that stuff like this can happen.
I love how he brings up gatomon being cat in spanish because my god does this franchise love having two digomon have the same name, kumamon and bearmon, hoodiemon and butterflymon, like my god
So Gatomon normally has the ring but in Adventure 02 they needed to get rid of it so it could armor digivolve because it is a higher level than every other partner digimon. So they just removed it making Gatomon both a champion and rookie level digimon.
Betsumon was the cause of two digimon episode of emotional/character turmoi. Now the drama has been brought to real life, causing a breaking point in the digimon naming game lol
i'm shocked no one in the game brought up the -dramon suffix convention where dragon digimon usually have it as a shortening of the word "Dragon digimon" to signify their difference from other reptilian or dinosaur digimon in a vaguely consistent way like the "black" or "-womon" motifs
3:53 If I remember right the holy ring was something specific to the Gatomon in the show. It helped her digivolve or use the holy arrow or somethin. I don't rmember honestly. But more importantly it wasn't something that all Gatomon naturally had
Loving the new content my dudes but I gotta ask, what’s up with the Talks a Lot Boys? You guess were my favorite music channel on RU-vid and I miss those videos particularly the album rankings Just any update would be nice loved watching you guys for over 2 years now
Um actually *pushes up glasses and snorts nerdily*... the digirap is different than the english opening to digimon. The op is the "d..d..Digimon Digimon, Digimon digital monster Digimon are the champions..." the digirap is the one that makes "digi" versions of alot of words. "The digivolution is up and running, digihear, digisee, digiknow what's coming. Our digidestiny starts today." Includes things like digiwill, digisize, digipast, digipresent, digidudes, digirule. I believe the digirap was used as the opening to the movie and has the normal English OP insterspliced throughout it. It had early early editing done alongside it in the movie with straight up jpegs of the Digimon float across the screen at random times *important note: this is big joke comment
I know gatomon was wizardmon best freind but myotismon was heartless digimon wizardmon sadly died sacrificed himself to protect the digidestdent that got me crying all the time
Kekekekeke kitty kitty time! It seems that the commenters that got to this video first pretty much outlined a lot of the reasons for naming, so I’ll just add what I know! Gatomon: so it seems somewhat unusual that they didn’t just use Tailmon (especially cause the golden ring on its tail is kind of an important feature which gives it the power to uppercut a T Rex for a ohko), but my only reasoning is that they wanted the name to be somewhat foreign. Tail to Japanese is like Gato to Americans. A foreign word with a connection to the digimon. It does get a bit arbitrary though! Black Gatomon: She was created as a counterpart to Gatomon as their evolutions have a rivalry. The rival to Gatomon didn’t have a good pre-evolution, so they just gave her a dark form. Black Gatomon Uver: She is quite an interesting Digimon. As stated, she is based on a real delivery company with a black cat as their logo. Again, something the EN viewers won’t really get it as that company is JP only. I kinda do agree that Uber is unusual to parody as Yamato Transport is more like UPS and there doesn’t seem to be a brand deal. It is suspected that it may have to do with the word Mover, but the base word is already kind of unusual. Mikemon: alright… this one needs explaining. And not the name origin, everyone else already kinda explained that. Here is to explain why there are 3 variants of Gatomon at all. Digimon have 3 attributes based on computer terms. Data which is normal creatures. Vaccine which are antivirus programs. And Viruses, which are more violent and prone to changing environments selfishly. Its sort of an alignment system similar to D&D with Good, Neutral and Evil. As such Gatomon is the Vaccine (hence holy ring), Mikemon is the Data and Black Gatomon is the Virus. Digimon can cross these as they evolve due to my previously explained environmental pressures. Magnadramon: Ya gotta remember that this is a Japanese company. A lot of the most powerful deity-like creatures are dragons. And it has been noticed that Gatomon has connections to holy beings and.. I really wish you showed these guys the Digimon that shows up between Gatomon and Magnadramon just to torture these two even further. The actual archangel is from her counterpart line, so it pretty much is a representation of both Eastern and Western holy dieties. Betsumon: a complete joke digimon. It is based off of Tailmon Betsu, a horrible cosplay from a voice actor and editor for the magazine some of the Digimon manga. The fricking image shown from promotional material became such a meme that they made her into a digimon. Yes we hate it. Yes its episode in Digimon Ghost Game is horrifying as it turns out it can assume your identity through its cosplay, use an illusion to make people think it is you and if you cannot convince someone that it stole your identity, you soon melt away into nothingness as it assumes your life. Hope Nico and Kyle actually enjoy this cause I am seeing their souls leave their bodies as you torture them.
It occurs to me that Black Gatomon Uver is probably a reference to Takkyubin, a Janpanese delivery service, like Hermes/Evri, who's logo is a cute little icon of a cat, carrying its kitten by the scruff, in a similar style to the symbol on Uver's forehead You see their logo & tons of their delivery vans all over the place in Japan - So 'Black cat = Parcel delivery' would be strangely intuative to Japanese viewers which explains why they used Black Gatomon as a base, rather than regular Gatomon or even just making a brand new postal-worker Digimon Still think it's a bit odd they referenced Uber in the name though - Uver's job is to deliver letters & parcels, not deliver food or offer transportation, but whatever~ It's probably just to add an extra layer of plausible deniability~
1) Unless it's a slight variant on its appearance, this one is C. / Yep. But original name? Pawmon. / I can see why they changed it. 2) I'd love it to be D, but C's awkward wording is swaying me. / Das raciss!! 3) I don't know what any of these things mean, so D. / DMCA takedown incoming. 4) Oof, I'm going B because it's the only name reference I'm familiar with to guess. / I don't know how I did that. I do not know. 5) Would Digimon only localize certain stages of the same name but not others? Now I have to ponder if the BigSnowmon-but-no-Snowmon company would stoop to this new low. I'd believe either at this point, going with the coolest name in B because it's obviously A instead. / Whaaaaaaat? A good Digimon name? I guess I've been trained wrong. Bonus) Imagining Karina's voice stirs memories of her saying…only one of these names…B, don't ask for an etymology. / I know people who know their stuff. I actually got most of them. How did that happen?
due to after what happened the other day,I'm going to just say this: I have every right to comment what I like just like everyone else does on youtube,someone told me that I'm not allowed to comment on the videos that I like,and that's not true at all,I have every right to enjoy the things I like on here just like everyone else I don't get why people can't leave me alone? can't you see how highly uncomfortable I am? I've been bullied and cyberbullied all my life,so replying to me makes my anxiety sky rocket,I say one thing and then I get attention that I never wanted in the first place
Black Gatomon was used for the delivery guy one because Yamato is a really famous courier company in Japan. They are often known as Kuroneko (literal translation: black cat) though because they have a black cat as their logo.
So my stupid ass blackgato uver and my dumbass didn't realize it was supposed to be uber i thought it was supposed to be like universe version or something
Man I wish darkest gatomon is a real digimon. Probably gotomon but in goth outfit. Kari it's not gotomon anymore call me darkest gotomon ever since wizardmon tanking those bats for me.
