Huh, I apparently mis-remembered things, because in 2005, before the debut of the fifth Digimon series, another set of virtual pets are released after the Pendulum X series. The Accel Genome virtual pets, which are the virtual pets that the Digimon Savers anime very broadly draw form. I say very broadly, because some of the Digimon designs that are taken from Accel Genome ended up being retooled and redesigned to much that most wikis tended to take the first Falcomon line introduced in the Accel Genome virtual pet as a different species compared to the Falcomon that debuted in the Savers anime. Oh well! This particular set of reviews is going to go through the Digimon introduced "Evil Genome" and "Nature Genome" version of the virtual pets.To those less well-versed (or plain don't care) in the intricacies of the virtual pet toys and familiar with the series via the anime, let's just say these are a bunch of dudes that, by and by, ended up never appearing anywhere outside of virtual pets and trading cards. I've been sounding like a broken record ever since Frontier, and honestly? That's kind of the truth with a lot of these.
______________________________________
Bommon
So we're going to start off with the "Evil Genome" virtual pet, and the theme for this one is a combination of demons and robots. And the Baby I for this virtual pet is Bommon. Not to be confused with Bombmon, introduced far later, that has an extra syllable in Japanese. Bommon is... kind of underwhelming, really. It's an upside-down bomb with three eyes. I do kind of sort of like the fact that the bomb's fuse is a tail, but it's not particularly revolutionary or creative. The profile gives us a detail about how the fuse basically runs out right before Bommon evolves, so no one knows if this poor baby will explode into a billion pieces if the fuse does reach the main bomb body. It's not the most creative design and a fair bit more complex than most traditional Baby I's, but comparing this to the baby designs ever since the 02 series, I have to give the design team kudos for not just making this a simpler version of the Child-level Digimon they're trying to highlight.
2/10.Missimon
Huh, Missimon here is actually kind of neat, this weird conical-faced missile robot thing with arms and, y'know, flies around like a missile. Again, like Bommon, this is a wee bit too complex for my liking for a Baby II, but whatever. It's pleasant enough of a design and creative enough to not just be a simpler, dumber-looking version of the Child-level Digimon. Missimon's profile notes that it basically continues to fly non-stop until it evolves into a Child-stage level, and is unable to stop itself before then. Missimon's possible evolutions include the two new Child-level evolutionary lines we're going to spotlight today -- Commandramon and Dracumon, but other than those, this flying missile can also evolve into some old classics like Hagurumon (the most 'logical' choice out of the six options), Gizamon, Tentomon and Penmon.
Missimon's only appearance in official fiction is in the Next manga, where the entire evolutionary line ends up making the bulk of Barbamon's army alongside the entire Funbeemon line.
4/10.Commandramon
The first of the Child-level evolutions is Commandramon here, who is... umm... okay? So the theme here is military dragon-dinosaurs? Commandramon is an Agumon ripoff who's slathered in pixelated camo paint, and has dressed up in military armour, and runs around toting a goddamn assault rifle? It's not my thing, but it's honestly ridiculous enough that I can't say that I hate this thing. But I certainly don't like it. Commandramon's profile notes that he's part of some sort of organization called the "D-Brigade", which is comprised entirely of dragon-cyborg Digimon. Which you'd think would contain the likes of Megadramon or Mugendramon or MetalGreymon, but in practice it's just Commandramon's entire evolutionary line and no one else, like some sort of elitist club. I dunno. I do appreciate the camo job being in pixels, I guess? It's kind of so ridiculous so I can't hate him. 5/10.Sealsdramon
While Commandramon has a couple of other options for Adult-level evolutions (Thunderbirdmon, Dobermon and Snimon, none of which make particular sense) his default Adult-level evolution is Sealsdramon here, who is a far more coherent design, this raptor-man with huge, chunky arms, and a cool mechanized monocle. And what appears to be two swords attached onto his back. Sealsdramon, despite looking like he should go on an audition to be the main character in like a Halo video game or something, is actually a black ops agent whose specialty is assassination, able to move fast and stab people in the back with his combat daggers and such. A lot more coherent of a design than Commandramon, I think, and a pretty cool one. Sealsdramon is also one of the few designs on this page to actually make it into a Digimon anime, showing up as a generic background filler in the Xros Wars anime. Again, like Commandramon, the idea of a cyborg stealthy black ops ninja soldier dinosaur-man thing is just so ridiculous I can't hate this guy, even if he's not my type of design. 5/10.Tankdramon
Whoa, okay, what? After two pretty 'safe' dinosaur-robotmen, Sealsdramon's default evolution is this thing? Tankdramon looks just utterly metal, a tank with a fleshy humanoid upper body attached to it. Look at just how much random detail is packed into this thing! Two different sets of gigantic cannons on the sides, spiky fingers, a draconic face with a golden metal helmet, random spikes arranged as fangs on the front side of the tank... Tankdramon probably hangs out in the same pub that Cannonbeemon does, honestly.As much as I do find this design pretty dang hilarious in all the wrong ways, I do feel like Tankdramon probably works better taken out of the Commandramon/Sealsdramon/Darkdramon family because they all have a pretty consistent cyborg military lizardman aspect. Tankdramon is just so fucking awesomely weird, being this organic dragon-man embedded and fused with a literal tank. His profile notes that Tankdramon is an expert in riot-suppressing. Presumably by blowing the rioters up. And then napalming half the city just to be sure. Apparently Tankdramon's profile notes that it is equipped with mini-nukes, so... yeah, the D-Brigade certainly has different ideas about what riot suppression means.
7/10.Darkdramon
Tankdramon's default evolution is the Ultimate-level Darkdramon, and... I'm not particularly enthused with this one. I mean, sure, he's obviously some sort of humanoid cyborg-man, with gigantic butterfly wings made up of energy, but the artwork isn't really posed all that well to make me really get any sort of memorable detail beyond some vague blue/yellow Gundam knockoff. And looking for other pictures of Darkdramon, I really feel that they end up making this look a whole less draconic or robotic than the line seems to be leading up to. I mean, Doragoramon or whoever the final evolutionary line for Dorumon isn't a design I'd call pleasant, but at least you can tell that they're going for a humanoid cyborg dragon there. Darkdramon? He's just a very generic-looking anime robot-man with a giant weapon arm. Very boring, honestly, even by the standards of this frannchise. Hell, apparently Darkdramon was one of the Bio-Hybrids from Digimon Savers, and I didn't even remember! And I dunno. I guess Darkdramon might be someone out there's favourite Digimon, but he's honestly just one in a long, long list of other sorts of random cyborg dragon-men.Points for that giant weapon arm being called the "Gigastick Lance", which has to be the most memorable aspect of this creature.
2/10.Chaosmon (a.k.a. Khaosmon)
Darkdramon can evolve further, though, by Jogress-evolving with BanchoLeomon (or BantyoLeomon, because romanization is weird), into this thing, Chaosmon. And... and what am I looking at, exactly? It's a vaguely humanoid figure with a glowing arm and... where's the head? Man, the official artwork for this period of time is just pretty poorly posed, huh? I had to look up other pieces of artwork, and one arranged in a more neutral pose shows that Chaosmon is basically the Omegamon ripoff that combines BanchoLeomon and Darkdramon, with the two heads in the exact same configuration -- BanchoLeomon, complete with Kujo Jotaro delinquent hat, forms a yellow head-arm with a sword, while Darkdramon's head forms the... the other arm. The main Chaosmon body is a very generic design, I feel. Really sells how unmemorable and bland Darkdramon's design is, though, because I was staring at Chaosmon's official artwork for a while before realizing that that huge blue-red thing was meant to be Darkdramon's face.Anyway, Chaosmon is apparently the literal embodiment of a computer bug, noted as the "codename for a Digimon that should not exist", and that it has a very short but powerful lifespan as a result of that. I like that little backstory, making it look like this bizarre thing is just one of many different permutations of what could be a "Chaosmon". Honestly, though, I mostly like it for the sheer ridiculousness that this is a generic anime god-knight dude that tries to look so cool, but he has a goddamn delinquent lion-man head for an arm complete with hat, and it's vomiting out a sword. And his other hand is a giger-esque dragon head. It's just such a dumb looking visual that I can't hate this thing.
4/10.UltimateChaosmon (a.k.a. UltimateKhaosmon)
UltimateChaosmon is technically one of the secret Digimon introduced in the "Ultimate Genome" version of the game, but since it shares its name with Chaosmon, I'll include it here. So while Chaosmon is the evolution-that-should-not-be combination of BantyoLeomon and Darkdramon, UltimateChaosmon here is what you get when those two combine even further with other Ultimate-level Digimon Sleipmon (a centaur knight) and Valdurmon (a holy bird), formin this... this wackily bizarre eldritch abomination. Look at this thing! It's just this weird, nondescript... thing that really sells an abomination-that-should-not-be better than the Omegamon ripoff that is Chaosmon. I really do wish that the designers did something more creative than just drawing two huge eyes, a red arch, and then attaching a bunch of random details (angel wing, devil wing, bird claw, lion head, dragon head, blue arm) to it, which feels a bit too much like Kimeramon... but it does look appropriately weird and bizarre, and I do like that none of the four component parts feel particularly or obviously represented. Also love the little regular-Chaosmon body that sort of hangs down below.UltimateChaosmon hasn't really appeared in anything other than the Accel Genome series and a brief cameo in the Xros Wars manga as minions of ZeedMillenniumon, but it's certainly a weird, unexpected way to do the fused form of a delinquent lion-man swordsman, a cyborg dragon-man, a giant holy bird and a six-legged centaur knight-man.
6/10.Dracumon (a.k.a. Dracmon)
Dracumon here is the other possible new Child-level evolution for Missimon, and he's... he's kind of neat? I've always glossed over this dude, to be honest, becuase he's sort of like a pretty generic imp-thing and we've got a whole lot of those, but I do like the fact that Dracumon's eyes are located on the palms of his hands, like the yokai Tenome. But he still wears that hood over his face with two painted-on eyes. Not the most creative design, admittedly, but it's not a bad design. Also, I do like the little detail given by its profile where apparently Dracumon is the biggest prankster in the Dark Area (a.k.a. digital hell), with its claim to fame being nearly getting itself killed trying to graffiti the faces of the Four Holy Beasts. He draws his name from Dracula, but apparently the lack of any evident vampiric visual inspiration is explained by Dracumon "forgetting to suck blood". Silly Dracumon! I was ready to dismiss this imp as being unmemorable, but that profile won me over.Dracumon shows up in the Xros Wars: Hunters anime as the partner of antagonistic human character Ren Tobari, and Dracumon's assigned evolution in that anime series is Yaksamon, one of Veemon's armour evolutions. Which is... honestly kind of appropriate considering Dracumon's yokai-based inspiration. Anyway, a Digimon that I never gave much thought of (I've seen this dude a couple of times in video games) but one that I found surprisingly charming. Look at this TCG artwork, by the way. Pretty badass.
6/10.Sangloupmon
Dracumon is able to evolve into a couple of different Adult-level Digimon in Evil Genome, including Meramon, Dobermon and Gekomon (???), but his default Adult-level evolution is Sangloupmon, one of those Digimon that never made it into an anime. And frankly, it's kind of surprising -- Sangloupmon is quite literally a vampiric wolf with a pretty cool design, and he's certainly far more pleasant than the likes of Gaogamon, so I'm honestly surprised that Sangloupmon hasn't been used as a villain, at least. It's weird. Anyway, Sangloupmon is a vampire wolf (Sang Loup is French for blood wolf), who is bloodsucking but also apparently noble? His profile notes that Sangloupmon is able to break himself into data and travel anywhere in the digital world, or into the opponent's shadow, a fun little adaptation of a vampire's classic "transform into mist" ability. Sangloupmon's a pretty cool design, honestly, with sharp, bat-wing-shaped armour chunks around his shoulder and face, as well as giant scythes attached to his legs. A pretty solid design, I'd say, if kind of an obvious one. 6/10.Matadrmon (a.k.a. Matadormon/Matadoramon)
Sangloupmon's default Perfect-level evolution is Matadrmon, because the katakana used for this guy's name is mataduru instead of matadoru, which would be the appropriate one for a Japanese translation of matador. I'm going to assume it's a typo that stuck, so I'm going to call this dude Matadormon.And... and it's an interesting Perfect-level evolution, being based on an oriental martial artist with long, flowing robes and gigantic blades for fingers and for his feet. And his face, too, which the official artwork doesn't display clearly, but his entire face is just a goddamn bladed triangle with purple sharp-angled sunglasses or something serving as eyes. It's an utterly bizarre face. And Matadormon is... sort of like a matador, but also a martial artist, and also sucks blood? It's kind of a weird combination of themes, honestly. This quasi-Chinese-inspired martial artist, who also befuddles its enemies with its matador-inspired dancing, and is also a vampire, and also by the way it has swords and spikes up the wazoo? Matadormon actually gets a relatively decent role in Xros Wars as a recurring villain that terrorizes Sweet Zone, and while he's technically an arc villain, I found him pretty unmemorable and generic save for the one time he arranged an Iron Chef cooking contest just because.
3/10.GrandDracumon (a.k.a. GranDracmon)
Matadormon's Ultimate evolution is... well, it's an interesting choice for an evolutionary line that's about vampires but not wanting to revert to the basic 'Dracula' tropes that Vamdemon and his ilk have a stranglehold on. So GrandDracumon is... a centaur-like demon man with bat wings, and two giant eyeless shark-heads attached to the front legs of his centaur body? Umm... okay? It doesn't make any less sense than the sword matador kung fu man. GrandDracumon does end up feeling like a pretty neat demon, although at the same time I do find his design to be trying to do a wee bit too much and somewhat inferior compared to the earlier centaurian demon-man Gulfmon. It's not unpleasant to look at, though, and I do like how its profile notes that GrandDracumon is a master of charming people, and his voice will cause most angel Digimon to immediately 'fall down' and be corrupted. He's also, apparently, so high-ranking amongst the demon lords of the digital world that the Seven Demon Lords respect him? He's pretty neat, I guess. I don't particularly like or dislike him as a design or as a concept. 4/10.This got a bit long, so I ended up putting the rest after a page break. We've got more reviews that's as long as this article itself, but I just didn't want to clutter the blog up too much. Click below for Puwamon, Pinamon, old Falcomon, Diatrymon, old Yatagaramon, Valdurmon, Swimmon, Spinomon, Neptunemon and Mercurymon.
Puwamon
This time around, we're going to the Nature Genome version of the Accel Genome series, and it's going to feature birds, plants, fish, and a bunch of animal and beastly Digimon. The Baby I for this one is Puwamon, who, I think, does a pretty neat job looking like an owl blob-baby without being too obvious as a dumbed-down version of Falcomon. I mean, just compare this to, say, Jyarimon or Chicomon or whoever! Anyway, Puwamon is a little owl-blob and again, perhaps has a wee bit too much going on for a Baby I Digimon. It's all right.Puwamon actually makes an appearance in Savers, hatching from an egg and becoming the partner of Daimon Chika, the main protagonist's little sister, eventually evolving immediately into a Piyomon.
4/10.Pinamon
Pinamon's still a little blob-bird, but with enough differences from Puwamon and with somewhat more developed wing-numbs. I'm still kind of neutral on this thing, not particularly hating nor liking it. I can just imagine this thing just running all over the place which would, I think, be pretty adorable. I do like the little detail given in its profile in that its face is always stoic, so the only way to tell Pinamon's mood is based on how it runs. Both Pinamon and Puwamon hate their long tails being touched, and interestingly, it's able to generate electricity. In the Nature Genome virtual pet, Pinamon, interestingly, only really has Falcomon as its only bird-themed evolution, with its other choices being Mushmon, Goblimon, Swimmon, Gotsumon and Terriermon. In other words, the little chick can evolve into a mushroom man, a goblin, a tropical fish, a rock golem and a bunny plushie thing. Okay then. 4/10.Falcomon
"Wait, this isn't Falcomon!" Well, you're half-correct. See, when the original Falcomon debuted in 2005's Accel Genome virtual pets, this was the official artwork and design. Sort of like an off-brand Hawkmon with vaguely owl-shaped eyes and a pretty bland green-and-gray colour scheme. And yes, I know the name is "Falcomon", but this dude's clearly based on an owl, isn't he?Fast-forward a year to 2006, where they decided to use Falcomon as one of the main partner Digimon of Digimon Savers (Data Squad for dub viewers), and they decided to completely overhaul Falcomon, giving him a more proportioned and marketable body shape, a black-and-purple colour scheme and a clear ninja theme. And while I tend to like the more beastly and natural-looking Digimon a bit better, I kind of have to admit that original Falcomon here is kind of lackluster and pretty dang boring. Honestly feels like a minimal effort Hawkmon ripoff, sort of like how Commandramon up there is a minimal effort Agumon ripoff. Except Commandramon at least has the army thing going on. Original Falcomon has nothing interesting about him, not even in his profile, and it's small wonder they replaced him with a superior, more memorable version down the road. Sorry, man.
3/10.Diatrymon
So while I think Falcomon's transformation from the original virtual pet version to the anime version is ultimately for the better, I am glad that they didn't decide to revamp Diatrymon, instead making up an entirely new Adult-level evolution for Falcomon II, the ninja-ostrich Peckmon who we'll cover in due time. Instead, original Falcomon's default Adult-stage evolution is the very monstrous ancient monster-bird Diatrymon, taking his name from Diatryma, the genus name for a prehistoric, predatory monster-bird that are commonly portrayed in media as this giant apex predator "horror birds". Though nowadays Diatryma (or Gastronis, because taxonomy is complicated) is theorized to actually behave like, well, modern-day ostriches and probably aren't as horrifying as predators as popular media make them out to be. Diatrymon isn't worried about any of the real-world science debates, though, and is happy to embody the armoured giant flightless monster-bird tropes.Still, Diatrymon is honestly pretty damn badass, being this monster bird with a jagged mouth and mean-looking claws and armour plates. I kind of wonder why they decided to give him the clashing colours of orange and green is a good idea, though. Anyway, while Diatrymon hasn't appeared anywhere outside of video games, I definitely do appreciate that this monster bird's existence, even if I really do think it would look better with other colours.
6/10.Yatagaramon
The Perfect-level evolution for Diatrymon is Yatagaramon, based on the Yatagarasu, a mythological three-legged crow from Japanese mythology that represents the intervention of heaven in mortal affairs. Like Falcomon, Yatagaramon would be redesigned (although not quite as much as Falcomon) in the Savers anime. The original Yatagaramon is a pretty simple design, though. It knows its mythological basis of a three-legged crow, made it into a Birdramon-style giant bird, and then adds a bunch of Deva-style oriental armour to it. All in all I kind of prefer the newer Yatagaramon, although the original version here isn't honestly all that bad. Yatagaramon's profile notes about how it's sort of like a guide to the spirits of the dead, although more of a good guide than a sinister one. Yatagaramon's original profile isn't super interesting, just noting that it's this dark-but-good angelic crow that has really, really powerful data-disassembling powers. We'll talk about the other Yatagaramon when we reach Savers, so I'll keep this short. Pretty cool giant crow. 6/10.Valdurmon (a.k.a. Varodurumon)
Valdurmon is... well, it's not an unplasant design, this giant, six-winged holy bird that shines with a rainbow-like aura, but it honestly feels and looks like a more boring version of Hououmon or Zhuqiaomon, y'know? Like, a six-winged god bird isn't uncool, but it's not that impressive after a while. Valdurmon isn't based on any specific mythology despite the Nordic sounding name, his profile is an utterly generic "hey this Ultimate Digimon is powerful" spiel, and his design doesn't make him any more interesting than, say, Ornismon or whoever. Like, sure, it's glowing with that fiery rainbow power, but take that away and you get a pretty boring six-winged bird. Yatagaramon, even with the glowing stuff gone, still has his pretty badass golden armour pieces. Like, I kind of feel like I'm being a bit unfair to Valdurmon here, but at the same time as much as I sigh in disdain at Savers!Falcomon's Ultimate form being another humanoid, Ravmon at least looks a lot less boring than Valdurmon.Anyway, Valdurmon here is one of the component pieces of UltimateChaosmon up there, and I guess he contributes a bird claw and a wing? The most interesting thing about Valdurmon is that it can apparently evolve from Mamemon of all things.
5/10.Swimmon
Swimmon is the other Child-level evolution that's brand-new to Nature Genome, but unlike Dracumon, Swimmon doesn't have a clearly-defined Adult, Perfect and Ultimate level 'default' evolution. Poor Swimmon! He ends up being assigned to old armor-level Seahomon as the most logical Adult evolution, and his other evolutions are Nohemon and Igamon, neither of which are super-aquatic. Swimmon is kind of boring, though, just a gaudy and colourful tropical fish with a disturbingly toothy mouth. I like tropical fish, but they really could've done... something, I dunno. Other than that disturbing mouth, Swimmon is kind of "just a fish" in both design and lore. It's not unpleasant to look at and we don't really have a proper fish-themed Child-level Digimon, but damn if it isn't boring. Like, I kind of sort-of appreciate having just-a-fish, but at the same time it's... kind of just a fish. 4/10.Spinomon
So while Nature Genome doesn't have any new Adult or Perfect level evolutions other than the Falcomon line, nearly all of its Ultimate-level options (other than Rosemon and UlforceVeedramon) are brand-new. So let's start off with Spinomon here, who can evolve from either Triceramon, Yatagaramon or Jyagamon. It's... interesting? We've got a bunch of "dinosaurs but with blades" a while back, and Spinomon is basically a generic theropodal dinosaur with a generic dragon head and a fuck-ton of bone spikes and blades on his back that it can shoot out like bullets, while borrowing the name from the Spinosaurus. It's... it's not a bad design, but it honestly falls into the same Valdurmon problem as not looking impressive enough for an Ultimate-level. It's kind of a boring, if organic, design. It's less boring than Swimmon, though, and, again, after the glut of dragonmen and knightmen, it's neat to see Digimon that's just a dinosaur with a fuck-ton of swords jutting out of his back. Could probably gone with a bit more of a redesign to incorporate the gimmick better, but it's a neat monster. 5/10.Neptunemon
So since they've run out of the Seven Sins to make huge HYPE Ultimate-level Digimon, around this time they decided to make a brand-new set of Ultimate-level Digimon, this time based on the Greco-Roman gods, the Olympos XII. And while at least the various Digimon fiction tended to play up whatever Demon Lord of the year they get to star, the Olympos XII nearly never got any respect. Neptunemon, based on the Neptune, god of the seas, is... he's a very generic mermaid-man with a lot of accessories and a huge mace. It's honestly pretty underwhelming and doesn't particularly scream "god of the sea", and hilariously in his debut appearance he evolves from Gerbemon of all things.Clearly the anime team doesn't really have much respect for Neptunemon either, setting him up as one of the earlier disposable commanders in Xros Wars, leading a bunch of aquatic-themed evil Digimon. Overall, though... he's an okay mermaid knight monster, I guess, but he looks so generic that I don't buy that this is the SUPER DUPER AWESOME GOD OF THE OCEAN. I'll give Neptunemon this -- he doesn't look as stupid as the rest of the Olympos XII, those silly try-hard morons.
4/10.Mercurymon (a.k.a. Merukimon)
Mercurymon here is the only member of the Olympos XII to really get any sort of characterization, being a huge character in the Digimon Savers anime. See, Mercurymon in the anime is treated as this sort of tribal leader among the Digimon of the digital world, and is kind of a huge racist towards mankind (not without good reason, too, considering how the human Kurata's been killing Digimon left and right), but at the same time he ended up adopting an orphaned human boy, one of the main characters in Savers. It's interesting to see this little bit of depth to this character that flip-flops between being an antagonist and a protagonist before being made into a martyr after being convinced of the errors of his ways... but was brutally slain by the artificial Digimon led by Kurata, and explicitly had his reincarnated Digi-Egg destroyed so he can never reincarnate. Savers was kind of brutal like that. Anyway, I do have enough respect of Mercurymon as a character to not dismiss him for his design outright.That said... wow, what a horrible design, huh? The Olympos XII is meant to homage the Greco-Roman gods, and while I realize that they can't just have everyone be posing godly musclemen, Mercury is the god of messengers, as well as thieves, commerce and trickery. So for whatever reason, they decided to portray him as this bizarre Conan the Barbarian knockoff that covers his body with beast pelts and a skinned Garurumon face, and fights with weird bone-daggers, and the profile notes that this guy is a wandering shaman. Yeah, because furry caveman is what I think of when I think of the Roman god Mercury. Neptunemon, while a boring mermaid warrior, is at least thematic with his inspiration. That's equivalent to naming a Digimon "Yatagaramon" but then instead of a three-legged crow you get, oh, I dunno, a house-cat or a rhinoceros or something. And even then he's not even a cool beast-man either! And Mercurymon isn't even a cool-looking barbarian beastman. He would've gotten a solid 0 if I didn't enjoy his Savers portrayal so much.
Mercurymon is also the basis of headaches for the English dub team. Both the Roman god and the metal are called "mercury" in English, but the Frontier villain themed after the metal is actually called Merukyuremon, after the French pronounciation of the word "mercury", whereas this Olympos XII god-man Mercurymon is called Merukurimon after the English word "mercury". Since Frontier came out years earlier, the English dub team is sort of forced to call this dude "Merukimon" to avoid confusion with Mercuremon (dubbed into Mercurymon). Languages! Names!
3/10. Points given are only for Savers role.Anyway, that's a wrap for today. Next week we'll look at the other Accel Genome versions, and delve a bit into Savers' characters.
