Fun Fact about the Olympus XII: Nico already made a connection to the Royal Knights. The Olympus 12 rule a different server, the Iliad server, than the one with the Royal knights, which I don‘t think has an official name, but is basically the main part of the digital world. The Royal Knights are all servants of the host computer and „god“ of the main server, yggdrasil. Also basically all the lore hints at a comming conflict initiated by yggdrasil, leading to the royal knights invading Iliad and fighting the Olympus XII, which, my god would that make for an awesome video game setting.
Even tho some of them are... Questionable, i would choose the Royal Knights, the Olimpus XII are based on the greek gods even if some of them hold a slight sense of justice all of them have commited heinous crimes and are highly self centered, even the digimon... At least the Royal Knights are not like them...
Love Basket isn't a reference to any complicated lore, A love basket is just a basket of fruits or flowers you give to your partner as a romantic gesture. & Yes, Venusmon is holding a Sea shell, specifically a Clam Shell It's a reference to 'The Birth of Venus' the famous painting by Sandro Botticelli, depecting Aphrodite/Venus rising out of the ocean on a giant clam shell (I'm not even gonna bother going into how that relates to her birth, it's complicated & not remotely relavent to Venusmon XD)
This is why I hate April fools, it’s not fun, it just means I can’t trust anything. If it was just for one day that would be annoying but forgivable but time zones extend it to 48 hours and then sometimes things get released early or late for various reasons, and the worst part is that the “joke” hangs around and usually the day you find it will be after April 1st and many platforms either don’t list the date that it was uploaded or they don’t make a big deal about it so you just run into “jokes” months later that aren’t clearly jokes. Actually I guess the real worst part is that usually the jokes are just crap, they aren’t jokes, they are just lies. Like, if it wouldn’t be funny on any other day then it isn’t funny on April fools either
I wish Jupitermon and Junomon's alt forms got shown off: Her "Hysteria" mode looking like a Uterus is wild! Also, as someone into Aztec history, Mercurymon weirdly seems to have an Aztec theme: It's knife is named "Aztec", and the ability for the knife to open portals to the underworld and summon spirits, combined with the pectoral mirror it has on it's chest, evoke Tezcatlipoca, a trickster god associated with fate's fickle nature, sorcery and divination (via mirrors, which were thought to act as underworld gateways), jaguars, etc. The wolf helmet and geen hair plume also evokes Aztec animal themes helmets and quetzallalpiloni tassels, though a Jaguar rather then a wolf theme would have worked better there. In general, the Indiginous theming for Mercurymon is sorta haphazard: The "Shaman" elements and the leather and primitive looking pelt stuff is more generic sterotyping of Precolumbian cultures as a whole. Tlalocmon, a new digimon shown off a few months ago, is a MUCH better researched take on an Aztec themed Digimon, to the point where I made a giant multi page post breaking down all the cool small details... though it's clothing still visually falls prey to some common tropes and stereotypes of looking "primitive" or worn like ruins, rather then reflecting the actual garishly colorful, refined, and luxurious quality of actual Aztec clothing, aesthetics, etc.
Fun fact there's a digimon that only ever appeared in a trailer, (besides snowmanmon) named Diddledoodlemon. He's just a badly drawn picture of Guilmon. Lovely he is.
Kinda disappointed you didn't do a bonus round with Plutomon since he's the Hades equivalent and while not part of the Olympos XII is still related. Could have also included Titamon based on the Titans and is considered a Rival to them, or Mervamon who is a variant of Minervamon.
Bacchusmon is funni i like him. Also, all the Olympos 12 are supposed to have an animal theme as well, which is why Vulcanusmon looks the way he does, cuz he's supposed to be an Octopus.
Vulcanusmon is my favorite Olympus XII Digimon and one of my favourite Digimon all around. Also as a side note, aside from being inspired by each of the Roman Olympian gods each member of the Olympus XII have a form of animal motif some way or another made into their design. For example Bacchusmon is a snake, Mercurymon is a wolf, Dianamon is a rabbit, Appollomon a lion etc. some are more obvius than others, like with Neptunemon, it’s kinda clear to see the fish -like appearance he has. But with for example Venusmon her motif is not in her actual design, it’s the bird she has as a companion (dove to be even more specific 😅). That’s why the “helmet” on Vulcanusmon is so big, it’s to better fit his animal motif which is an Octopus.
Apollomon has always been one of my favorites. I love basically any character with a sub motif. Then immediately after you told us not to say the following 4 you show one of my other favorites.
Really liked what kyle did "halfway through" and find it both cute and uncomfortable at the same time so I'm gonna comment that my favourite so far is the jupitermon (I guess that was it's name, the judge guy that never lost)
I guess one fun thing to possibly think about with Venusmon's design: Her eyes are covered with what is essentially a blindfold probably to reference the saying "Love is blind."
Presumably Olive is a reference to the dove carrying an olive branch (derived from the story of Noah) which is a symbol of peace, while Hotan (whose name is basically a nickname for a scallop) would be a reference to Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.
wow, so the number one Digimon-fan might have to do the DIgimon quizzes from now on xD Also thank you for your interest in us viewers, Kyle! Very nice of you! My favorite Digimon so far was Ceresmon. xD
Nice to see the Olympus XII. My favorite though is Apollomon. Always loved them, always will. And I really did like their Whispered variant in the anime. It had true final boss energy which is such a shame that it wasn't.
So the shell on Venusmon is because Venus is a Roman version of Aphrodite and one version of her conception was that she was born of sea foam and appeared on a seashell.
43:35 so an extra trivia about minervamon, she is the only olympus xii with an x antibody form, why? Because an argentinian youtuber joined his fnadom to vote in a poll of "what digimon should have an x antibody" choosing minervamon because "no one would ever choose minervamon", they got second spot and so she won an x antibody form and left imperialdramon without one
I love you guys, you’re hilarious. I’ve watched every video you’ve made except for one, and I absolutely will not watch it ahahaha. Also damnit kyle put the DGD poster back up so I can fangirl to my friends when I show them to you or I’ll buy everyone sandwiches but you. You’ll get the sauerkraut sandwich
Yeah this is Kyle, I was finishing up my new office at my new house and recorded at Tyler’s for a while. Don’t worry, I also love DGD extensively lol👍🏼
Me and nico have been in sync with some of these answer but I have lost count so don't remember what my score is but I love these videos because I play along. I feel happy when I get them right. I still think a Monster Rancher Fusion guess would be funny so maybe I'll do homework for the guys and list some when I do.
You know, is pretty funny how much I love all of the Olympus XII, the one that I don’t know his attacks and combat style is Bacchusmon and the one that I know well is Mercurymon because he was the first big boss of Digimon Savers, and the guy really loved to spam Thousand Fist so much. The only interesting thing that I can say about Bacchusmon is that he is being studied by the Crack Team to create a poison to kill somebody.
You've got to show them Minervamon X. It's just a chibi Minervamon sitting on an even bigger sword. Oh, and show them Mervamon, Minervamon's hot grown up form.
The image used for Bacchusmon Crapulence Mode, which it enters when it is incredibly Drunk i believe. The only thing that changes on Bacchusmon, is that it doesn't have the Tattoo's normaly.
Fun Fact about the Olympos XII: all of them are based on the animals that represent the greek gods (e.g helios/apollo’s is a lion, dionysus/bacchus’ is a snake etc.)
I think of the first eight my favourite would be Jupitermon and the rest of the video didn't really change my mind. I do like Plutomon and Titamon who are associated with Olympus XII
Turns out Netunemon got a redesign in the early 2010s because of a tragic tsunami event in Eastern Asia, thus it was changed to be purple and more menacing!
I'm kinda confused because I didn't see Plutomon, I think that's his name I don't remember. But my favorite of all this list is Minervamon X. Because we the Spanish speakers use Mafia Powers yo make him teak.
5:55 Yeah, some people just have a hate boner against the Royal Knights because they're too popular and end up as the focus of a lot of stuff, so they just assume every other underrepresented group and mons in comparison to them is better and stronger. 24:28 Also, the reason Junomon's art is so much better than Apollomon's is simple cause it's newer. These come from a chinese gacha game, at the start they were trying to mimic Toei artstyle, but Junomon got added to the game about 2 years later.
I feel that you're getting akame ga kill and Kill la Kill mixed up. While both of them have scissor weapons in them Kill la Kill was the one that's everyone was scantily clad in because the more skin you show the stronger you are
My answer for Kyle's intermission is Mervamon which was not one that was covered yet. Edit: Also one they didn't cover at all in the last 4, so I am above the law.
@@MitchFromFBSDang it, you said I couldn't say the next four! I demand a re-trial at the supreme court of internet public opinion! If you had mentioned Mervamon like you had with Ceresmon Medium I would have accepted my punishment.
Ok, as a greek guy i cannot help but be pissed at Minervamon. She is the Roman counterpart to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, strategies and battle (not war). She is associated with Owls, has a spear, and a shield. So how on Earth did they take those as inspiration to create a silly sword wielding little girl who has TWIN SNAKES on her sword. You know who used two snakes in an iconic moment from Olympus? Hera! Who sometimes acts like a petulant child? Hera! Who causes madness multiple times as a way to punish mortals? Hera! I am so mad....
