What If Digimon Frontier DARK Digivolved? 

PLEASE READ!!! Some small corrections: I missed when reviewing the edit that the wrong Scorpiomon was used. Damn dubisms! Also I think there was a typo when HLR described the BOITATA to me and I assumed Moitata was correct. Should have checked again before I recorded, that's my bad. Happy Easter Sunday, notification squad! Not QUITE an Easter themed video but some Dark Digivolution/Corrupted Spirits for you to enjoy! Thanks again to the WONDERFUL artists and let me know what you want to see next!

I absolutely love JP’s corrupted designs. I’ve always been a sucker for Scorpions and Kamen Rider/ Power Ranger designs.

Would love to see something like a fusion of the evil spirits(Water, Steel, Wood, Earth) and a fusion of the corrupted spirits of darkness!

This is definitely gonna be fun~ Fun fact: blue flames do exist in nature, notably when Sulphur burns near volcanoes giving off a eerie blue flame at night~

Absolutely crazy. Not only did you commission art for all of them, but the amount of thought that was put into “all” of them. It’s always worth putting down what I’m doing to watch your videos

I freak out when you mentioned Boi Tatá, because his legend is so popular in Brazil, its a part of our culture too

Boitatá used as inspiration? Now that's something cool! As a brazilian it warms my heart to see figures from our culture making their way around the world.

These are incredible!!! I love Zoe’s corrupted spirits!!! Her human spirit reminds me of the corrupted pink ranger in the broken grid power rangers game!!! I LOVE IT!!! I’d love to see a video of the other spirits of metal, Wood, Earth, and Water get actual spirits. And maybe a gender bend of the spirits, like if a female was chosen for the spirit of flame and a male was chosen for the spirit of water

These are so cool! This brings back my thoughts of the other "bad" spirits were corrupted versions and what would "light" evolutions of them look like

These are some really amazing designs and you know I love me some original digimon! Frankly I'd be interested in seeing Fusion Evolutions for the remaining Bad Spirits as the Good Spirits all have designated Fusion Evolutions (even though Tommy's is kinda bad). Heck some Unified Spirit Evolutions to go with EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon would be cool to see as well. Also the blue variant of the Corrupted Beast Spirit of Fire is definitely better.

You know, when you brought up the radioactive look on the corrupt fire spirit, it makes me think that a corrupt light or fire spirit could really embrace the idea of radioactivity as a kind of perverse opposite, seeing how light and fire are often thought of as comforting and nurturing. Wouldn't a digimon that maybe even generated some form of radioactive fallout on it's own be very much the inverse of those two characteristics? A beast that not only destroys all it comes across, but causes the land around it to wither and die, poisoning the earth so it can no longer support life for a long time. Or is that maybe going a little too dark?

This was so dope! I definitely love all these concepts arguably Spirit of Ice being my favorite but they all are so close. Definitely echo how amazing including cultural influence in designs is! There is so much lore and mythos out there, and seeing these novel (to me) concepts integrated into a media like digimon (and other fantasy media) makes things interesting and exciting. Plus it makes the nerd (and just good humaness??) in me want to learn more about the cultural influences. Also serious judgment for not watching AtLA or ALoK... For shame! Great video!

I like that the monster fire spirit is based off something protective and will kill anyone who hurts what it protecting. And I like to keep that with the corrected spirits that if anyone hurts the fronter kids that takuya would kill them

These designs were sick as hell, props to all the artists

Okay. 1.) WOOOOOW this art and the ideas presented are so insane and done so well! I love seeing all the original Digimon made for this videos. Shows the passion of all the creators who work together to make all of this, Karn included! 2.) As someone who has finally started properly working on my own Frontier stuff in honor of the anniversary, the SpirtSwapAU for anyone curious, and me trying to wrack my brain trying to make a corrupted Spirit of Light for the AU’s story without going super cliche and making it like an Angel thing, this video was amazing. Not only was the Corrupted Spirits of Light done so incredibly well, all of these were! I’ve said it in these comments, on Twitter, and many other places, but these videos really help me keep motivated to keep working on my Digimon Art and Stories even if I’m not a great artist, and because I get distracted so easily. Especially videos like these get my creative juices flowing, getting me to want to work on my project even if I can’t illustrate it well with art. I’ve said it thousand times, and I’ll say it a thousand more, thank you Karn, and all the artists too, for making such great content for us fans.

One think about the Darkness Spirits I wish had been incorperated into the others more is that while the Purified Darkness spirits are both inspired by Lions, the Corrupted versions are inspired by the Cerberus or Hell Hound for his human spirit and a vulture for his Beast Spirit. Technically the Wind Spirit also kind of does this naturally with the Human Spirit being a Fairy which has Butterfly wings while the Beast Spirit is more Bird Like. Ice also kinda of does this as well and even it's Hybrid evolution is an entirely different animal from the Human or Beast Spirits. Anyway... I especially wanted to see more of that influence in his brother's light spirit. The Human form still kind of looks wolf inspired. Since the Darkness Human Spirit goes from a Canine, the Cerberus to the Feline Lion I think the Beast Spirit of Light should have gone from a canine to a lion as well. And I'm intentionally having the Beast spirit rather than the Human one make a similar transition so that the Corupted Human Spirit of Light can also have Vulture inspired evolution to match the corrupted Dark Beast Spirit. I'd keep the shield and Lance as the weapons as I really like your reasoning for including that in the design I'd just change up the armor a little bit so it looks like a matching pair with the Dark Vulture Digimon. BTW... the other Spirits in Frontier are all villains and could possibly be corrupted versions already anyway so if you ever do a part 2 to this creating alternate versions of them they should probably be the purified versions of those spirits.

If there was ever a female swap of the fire spirit, I think we should call her Pelemon, after the volcano goddess of Hawaiian mythology.

Whoa! Those corrupted spirits look crazy! Maybe next time you can make hypothetical Hyper Spirit Evolution forms for the remaining kids?

LOVE seeing these custom forms in your videos, really cool to see these concepts brought to life!

Man, these were all so incredible that it’s hard to pick a favorite. All of the artists did such a phenomenal job with the prompt, I’d love to see a Part 2 going over the other Spirits! I’m very curious to see what a corrupt Susanoomon might look like.

As a chilean watching your content by the first time it was a nice surprice seeing a mapuche artist and desing on it

Hell yes!! My absolute favorite Digimon season!! I feel old as hell, though that is probably because I'm a dad now. But I love this concept. Thank you Karn for this great idea!!

Dude, I simply LOVED and ADORED this video! The effort you put into making this video is so amazing and moving! I think this is my fave video so far. The thought and explanation of each spirit and it’s corrupted mythology was so sick!!! The art and reasoning for each spirit was such a pleasure to watch! I’ve never seen such great thought given to the Frontier spirits before. Thank you so much for your passion and hard work!!

Oh my god these are all so frickin cool! HLRart in particular absolutely killing it as usual. I love these videos and once again huge shout out to you for supporting artists in the community!

Love these! The artists all did some amazing work!

That ice beast thingy looks like a windigo. Awesome artwork guys!

This was such a neat idea/video. I quite literally was thinking abot this very thing just other day along side of what if the other kids got forms akin to KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon, and low and behold I hop on YT and you post this. I especially love the corrupted versions of the spirits of Fire. That is LIT!

this is dope i love how much depth u add to this series… i would love to see a fusion between beast and human characters of the spirits because only fire and light got fusions

Dopeness ! Luv these and their inspiration.

Amazing video as always and the artist did an absolutely stellar job! If/When you get to a video about Water, Earth, Wood, and Steel evil spirits if it’s in your budget I’d love to see an evil Susannomon counterpart to finish it off. Nevertheless I’m excited to see more frontier content this month :> keep up the amazing work!

I've been waiting for this video for so long since I mentioned it a while ago in the dark evolution video, and it did not disappoint lol.

I love it! The flame spirits are my favourite, the blue beast is my nr1. Looking forward to the next one Karn!

A mythology lesson, damn fine art work and a freaking awesome video. Good work

This is honestly so sick, love all the artworks and backstories

I normally don't leave a comment on YT videos anymore but seeing my favorite Brazilian mythological animal being referenced in a Digimon medium made my day happy Boitatá simply the G.O.A.T

Earth, Water, Wood and Steel should have PURIFIED spirits, since the 4 warriors we saw were technically corrupted by Cherubimon/Lucemon.

I love how much focus you put on frontier!

By far my favorite one is The corrupted human spirit of Flame. It looks like it was pulled straight out of Shin Megami Tensei and I'm a huge sucker for that

I definitely learned a lot of from the inspiration for these digimon. Now I have to look them up to add them too my DnD campaign! Great video as well. Frontiers is still my favorite Digimon Series.

I love these. The ice spirits are definitely my favourite. I really appreciate the care that went into the background and symmetry of the light Digimon. My one note is that I can't really see the light element in Fenrirmon. Maybe it's the colouring, but it looks more like the absence of light than a corrupted light. I feel like one kick-ass attack could turn that around, though. As much as I was disappointed in Frontier as a Digimon series, it is definitely the most fun in terms of "what if?" scenarios. I have a strong affinity to the spirits of steel and wood (due largely to a personal connection via Chinese astrology), so I would absolutely love to see you give corrupted spirits, Advance Hybrid forms, etc. to the remaining four. I'll be patient, though.

The concepts are amazing, I love the corrupted wind line

I really like these, and I’ll be looking forward to possibly seeing more in the future. I would say the human spirit of wind was my favorite here, but I’m a bit biased given that the spirits of wind and darkness were always my favorites as a kid.

Another fun idea to do! Corruptly hyper spirit and ancient spirit evolutions for everyone would be awesome to see. You always get some of the best digimon artist I see

Would love to see the hybrid fusion form of these ..hell would be dope too see the corrupted union evolved

All of the corrupted forms were amazing. I really liked Zoe’s corrupted forms set the most, Tommy’s was second. However my favorite stand alone corrupted form was the corrupted flame Beast Spirit. That flaming snake was amazing 10/10.

These designs are gorgeous and creative, I love them so much!!!

My favs are definitely the corrupted fire spirits HLR was right about differently colored fires, it adds an intensity to corrupted forms like Shinegreymon Ruin Mode

I love the ones where you get artists to draw ideas for you. I like the different takes on these

that was fun! I loved the art

Thank you to all the amazing artists!

These are amazing. You really should put in the title which videos feature fanart because they are my favorite.

I am so happy that you did a video and art based on my and many other's suggestions of corrupted versions of the other spirits! I love it and I love the corrupted version of the spirits of fire! I love the way the corrupted human spirit looks more beast than man and he doesn't have much of a face like Mercurymon! so its a nice parallel hell, with the way they both have humanoid forms but aren't really human-looking, since mercurymon looks more like a walking mirror while Cherufemon looks like a walking magma pillar! I wonder will he be cruel and ruthless to Agnimon's kindness and compassion?

This is the type of content i wanted to watch the whole time keep the engine going love it. Corrupted jogress next

Damn Karn coming through with a FIRE video. Happy Easter Karn!!!!!

Amazing concepts! Love it!

Loved this video frontier is my favorite season

I clicked on this so fast. Can't wait for corruption of all the kids. Give the all trauma.

I liked all of these ideas, such a cool project! Would love to see them all line up and fight against the good versions :D

I want them in an anime so bad these look awesome, even though I would love to see a continuation with the other corrupted spirits I would also like to see a corrupted equivalent of Aldamon and Beowulfmon for these guys... like draugrmon and fenrismon fusing into a lokimon love the video cant wait to see more happy easter

I've said before that I love you commissioning artists to showcase their AMAZING art in your videos. Amd I say it again. You're awesome Karn. Absolutely awesome. And these original digimons are MIND BLOWING😮 What. A. Work!!! The designs! The thought process! I'm absolutely blown away. I think my favorites are the corrupted Wind beast spirit, corrupted Thunder human spirit and corrupted beast Fire spirit. But seriously, each of these are incredible designs and concepts.

This video is great and I having them made all the way through. You've shown quite some imagination when it came to creating these dark corrupted Spirits for the Digimon Frontier people when I first started this video I expected you to Simply take dark Digimon that existed in the series even if it was in a different part of the series and put them in their place but no looks like you went and created completely new Digimon for this. Thank you for the great content.

These designs are so awesome! I can’t pick an absolute favorite 8D

these keep getting better and better honestly lol

I would love to see the corrupted spirits fusion forms of beast and human spirit, I think fire's and Ice would look amazing

With this video you have a new subscriber!

Talking about the part where you talk about liking artists using their own cultural background in designing new Digimon, maybe a series of videos about digimon-lines (or single digimon) that represent certain countries could be a fun idea for the future. Especially if based on some of the lesser known countries around the world.

Awesome. Video and some great evil alter egos .

Re watching once again and I still feel the need to see the hybrid forms

Okay but my question is: Are the Wood, Water, Metal, and Earth Spirits that we saw corrupted or base line?

"What if" Two of my favorite words when talking about videos.

Love all the mythological influences here! Kurokabumon in particular 100% like a real design! If you ever do original Digimon concepts influenced by Mesoamerican (Aztec, Maya, etc) mythology, I'd love to help out: I actually act as a consult for history and archeology channels on those subject!

would be interesting see the corrupted version of Water, Steel, Wood and Earth, like "what if Cherubimon decided to taint all the Spirits under his guard to make his evil warriors?"

Happy Easter Karn EX!

Omg I'm like so late but really loved seeing Mapuche culture included in an english speaking video. As a fellow Chilean I would love to give you insight of some other aborigenous cultures in Chile and mithology thay could be used to create new digimon evolution lines. Love the videos, hugs from Chile.

Woahh, the two Spirits of the Wind are awesome! Also the Beastform of Fire-Spirit(in red).

I loved frontier, Mercurymon still remnants as one of the few villains that actually succeeded

Now those are some great concepts!

These were really cool

looking forward for the dark/corrupted armor digivolution varieties. very interesting channel more videos please. 💯💯💯

Just. One. Word. AWESOME!!!

This was a good video and mad credit to those artist

It would be really cool if there were more Digimons inspired by Brazilian Folklore, we have many tales with very interesting creatures that would make good Digimons. And I have to congratulate the artist, what a cool art by Boitatámon (Boitatamon)!!!

Ahhhh gotta love the Frontier content… maybe you could make a video on what a sequel series would look like!

the light and fire is nicely done

Yess I love these

FRONTIER!!!! I loved the idea behind this season :) also my fave english opening

karn I love how much effort you put in your vedioes . I really appreciate every single minut of it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

YOOOOOOOOOOOOH BOITATA CITATION, LOVE THEM. Super cool spirit.

To takoto's human spirit it feels like he should have the hazard sign on his body

I don't know if you got this from my idea but I'm glad you made it

Love this. ^^

Nice work all around!! Can you design Proper Fusion Evolution Forms for the Seven Legendary Warriors that didn’t get them? Takuya has Aldamon, Koji had Beowulfmon, and while I don’t remember if it appeared in the Series Koji’s Brother had Rhihimon! I would love to see a Fusion of The Human and Beast Spirits of Ice!

Dude this was amazing and can't wait for the next video in this series. Also was just wondering a random question do you still play or collect the Digimon card game.

These are epic! I wonder what the corrupted hyper spirits (Kaisergreymon and Magnagarurumon) as well as susanoomon would look like.

They all look cool!!

I definitely love the concept of alternative corrupted heroes, from franchises like Transformers (Optimus and Nemesis Prime) as well as Kamen Rider (most of the main protagonist rider and the black/monochrome version based on the main rider). Would like to see a Digimon season based on the concept of alternate reality, where the heroes will fight against villain versions of themselves, just like Kamen rider Ryuki and Ryuga. (If there already is a season that has that, I'm sorry. Just recently got into Digimon a few months ago)

OK THIS IS TOO COOL FOR WORDS.

Also love these. Again, would love to see these digivolutions animated.

These are dope concepts

I’d love to see a video of what the hyper spirit forms (kaisergreymon and magnagarurumon) of the other frontier digidestined would’ve looked like!
