that's the line as it is now but in frontier beast spirits are champions justs like the human forms, As the term "side" evolution is used rather then being a stricked upgrade alongside that they can be defeated by the human forms while the hybrid forms are more comparable to ultimate forms (I'm using the english line terms here). this makes sense given the beast and humans forms are meant to be two sides of the same coin.
It was "slide" evolution & not because of them being the same level (which they're not, beast spirits were stronger). I will say frontier was completely awful with their power scaling tho which made it hard to differentiate
@@alonzogordon6639 it wasn't that complicated, they were on the same evolution level but different power levels, same as angemon and gatomon/tailmon are exponentially more powerful than their champion peers, due to their holy powers and holy ring in tailmon's case. There has been more examples of digimons on same evolution stage but far different in power throughout all the series
@chronic joker human form equals champion (like garurumon, greymon), animal is same but a different power level (angemon, tailmon), hybrid would be perfect (magnaangemon, weregarurumon, etc) and ancient would be ultimate (wargreymon, metalgarurumon)
