Digimon & mythology: the Olympos XII

One of the most underused major groups of Digimon in my opinion is the Olympos XII. As the name suggests, they are based on the twelve Olympian gods of ancient Greece and their Roman successors, the Dii Consentes. While the older lineup of the Olympoans and the Dii Consentes used an equal number of gods and goddesses, the goddess Hestia/Vesta was later replaced by Dionysus/Bacchus as her worship fell out of favor and his became popular. Digimon uses the lineup that includes Dionysis/Bacchus and excludes Hestia/Vesta. The Olympos XII also use the Roman names for the gods, though they take inspiration from both cultures' interpretations, as well as original ideas. In fact, some of the Olympos XII seem deliberately designed to be unlike their mythical counterparts.

The Olympos XII rule their own Digital World called Digital World: Iliad, which is hosted on a different server than the mainstream Digital World ruled by the computer god Yggdrasil. While the two worlds rarely interact, Yggdrasil is keeping its eye on Iliad and it is said that one day the Royal Knights of Yggdrasil's server and the Olympos XII will confront each other. Whether that confrontation will be violent or peaceful remains to be seen. Iliad has its own computer god named Homeros, who is very different from Yggdrasil. While Yggdrasil seeks to rule its Digital World, Homeros believes in absolute freedom and left Iliad in a state of anarchy. The Olympos XII rose up to establish order and justice in defiance of Homeros's anarchy. While some media depicts Homeros as an enemy of the Olympos XII, others imply it has some authority over them.

One thing to note before covering the members of the Olympos XII is that the Greek and Roman myths were not set in stone. Beliefs changed and ideas were absorbed from neighbors. Different groups of people also interpreted the gods differently. For example, the Athenians generally had a negative view of Ares and depicted him as a brutal monster, the but Spartans and Romans had a much more positive view on him. The Greeks and Romans also had a practice called interpatio graeca/interpatio romana where they would absorb the gods of other cultures into their own pantheons, often by claiming that the foreigners' gods were actually the same gods under different names. This was especially common in Rome given how diverse the empire was. An easy way to avoid religious infighting was to declare that everyone is actually worshipping the same gods under different names. Different sects would also worship different aspects of the same god, which were sometimes given their own titles. For example, one group of Romans might worship Jupiter in his aspect as the bringer of storms where another may worship him in his aspect as a leader. This is all to say that the mythologies that the Olympos XII draw from are very diverse and were constantly changing and whatever I say about mythology here can be both supported and refuted by multiple sources, all equally valid.

Warning that some of the Olympos XII members have some of the most explicit "sexymon" designs in the franchise. Some of the art below may be NSFW.

The founder and leader of the Olympos XII is Jupitermon. It founded the Olympos XII to bring justice to the Digital World: Iliad and presides over weather as the god of the sky. It acts as a dispassionate judge who declares acts as being either good or evil, then metes out divine judgement on those declared evil. There is an appeals system to Jupitermon's Judgments which consists of facing Jupitemon in combat. If anyone beats it, then Jupitemon will rescind its judgement. As of yet, nobody has ever succeeded. Jupitermon wields two hammers that produce lightning bolts. While it normally refuses to allow emotion to get in the way of its duties, those who have committed great sins can cause Jupitermon to become overcome with range and trasfrom into Jupitermon Wrath Mode. In this form, it becomes much larger and transforms into a living mass of lightning contained in armor. It trades in its hammers for a greatsword named Keraunós (Greek for lightning) that is crackling with electricity. Jupitermon is based on the Greek Zeus and roman Jupiter. It lacks many of Zeus's more famous traits, such as being impulsive, hedonistic, and willing to sleep with anything that moved regardless of consent. In this is draws more of later Roman depictions of Jupiter (or Iupiter or Jove) whive removed many of the character's more negative traits and made him much more of a paragon and leader figure. The hammers it uses may be a nod to Norse mythology and the thunder god Thor's hammer Mjolnir, but may also reference a judge's gavel. Wrath Mode is based on the general idea of divine wrath, where a god will smite evildoers to those that displease it. There are many stories of Zeus sending down his lightning bolt to smite mortals who have wronged him. Each member of the Olympos XII has a signature animal that is incorporated into its design and Jupitermon's is the owl. Owls are more traditionally associated with Athena than Zeus/Jupiter and are often used to symbolize wisdom. That fits with Jupitermon being a judge over good and evil and most of Athena's wisdom aspects didn't make it into her Digimon counterpart anyway so moving them to Jupitermon makes him a better leader.

Jupitermon's partner is Junomon. She is Jupitermon's lover and defender who spends her time defending and eliminating those who would act against him. Because its love for Jupitermon is overflowing, Junomon is very aware of its habits and personality and preferes to spend as much of her time with him as possible. If separated for too long and forced to face an overflowing amount of enemies, Junomon can be taken over by a hidden, evil personality will surface, changing her into Junomon Hysteric Mode. Hysteric Mode is overflowing with jealousy and views everything around it as a threat to Jupitermon. Whenever Hysteric Mode emerges, it will slaughter everything round it until reverting. Curiously, Jupitermon seems to be unaware of the existence of Hysteric Mode and has therefore never judged it as evil. Even when not in Hysteric Mode, there is a hint of the darkness within as the angelic-seeming Junomon is a virus attribute and member of the Nightmare Soldiers field. Junomon is based on Hera/Juno, the wife and sister of Zeus/Jupiter and goddess of marriage and fertility. Junomon's relationship with Jupitermon is almost the inverse of Hera's with Zeus. Hera and Zeus seemed to hate each other and their wedded life was miserable, with Zeus constantly cheating and fathering bastard children and Hera attacking those children because she couldn't take it out on Zeus himself. By contrast, Junomon is so in love with Jupitermon she becomes a yandere. Interestingly, we won't have any official media I'm aware of that shows whether Jupitermon reciprocates her feelings, though him never noticing Hysteric Mode could be interpreted as deliberately turning a blind eye so he doesn't have to judge his love. Hysteric Mode can be seen as representing Hera's fits of anger, though in this case she's lashing out in a misguided desire to protect Jupiter(mon) rather than proxy revenge against him. The Romans' beliefs about Juno were so diverse that adequately cataloging them is a huge headache for scholars of Roman religion and she almost seems to have been multiple distinct goddesses conflated into one. Several Roman depictions did give her and Jupiter a much happier marriage than that of Zeus and Hera. She also took on some war god aspects, which is reflected in Junomon battling those who would oppose Jupitermon. Some scholars have suggested some Hindu influences from the goddess Sarasvati on the Roman Juno and Junomon's weapons are identified as katars, a type of Indian dagger. Junomon's animal is the peacock, which was seen as a sacred animal to both Hera and Juno.

The Olympos XII members that have gotten the most exposure in the franchise are the siblings Apollomon and Dianamon. They are gods of the sun and moon, respectively. Apollomon can unleash the heat of a star, which lets it burn through anything. It is a prideful being with barely-restrained energy that can lead it to going on a rampage or launching itself at a powerful enemy in search of a battle. In contrast, DIanamon is more peaceful, but just as the moon has a light and dark side, Dianamon's nature is two-faced and it is shockingly powerful in a fight. While Apollomon uses fire, Dianamon presides over water and ice. It can weave moonlight into illusions so powerful they can trick an enemy into ripping itself apart. These two are based on the twin gods Apollo and Artemis/Diana. While these two were gods of the sun and moon (in some versions inheriting this position from or contracting it out to the older Helios and Selene), they were also gods of many other things and sometimes the sun and moon aspects were seen as fairly minor duties for them. Digimon chooses to go all-in on the sun and moon motifs and ignore the other elements. This is fitting of the two's evolution lines debuting in the paired games Digimon Story: Sunlight and Moonlight (released in English as Digimon World Dawn and Dusk) which heavily played into the sun/light and moon/darkness motifs. Both gods were often depicted as archers and while neither Digimon uses a bow, they both have attacks where they shoot arrows named after their Greek god inspirations. Apollomon's signature animal is the lion and it looks like a humanoid lion. Lions are often associated with the sun and strength and in alchemy, a lion was used to symbolize the sun. Dianamon's animal is the rabbit, which is easier to see in her pre-evolutions, which are all humanoid rabbits. Japan often associated rabbit with the moon. The dark markings on the lunar surface that are interpreted in the west as a face (the man in the moon) are interpreted in Japan as a rabbit making rice balls or mochi. This rabbit and moon symbolism is found in another major influence for Dianamon: the title character of the mange Sailor Moon. Her name, Usagi, means rabbit and she and Dianamon have similar silhouettes and design features. In addition, one of Dianamon's attacks is named after the children's book Goodnight Moon. When the Digital World: Iliad was visited by an unprecedented crisis, Apollomon and Dianamon merged into GraceNovamon. GraceNovamon holds the power of a galaxy in its body and it is impossible to measure the amount of data that makes it up. GraceNovamon doesn't have any mythological references that I can find.

Volcanusmon is the Olympos XII member with the most influence on Digimon outside of its group. This is because it is the god of smithing and has created many of the Digital World's most famous weapons, all of which it names after Spanish words for food for some reason. Examples include Beelzebumon's Berenjena shotguns, Astamon's Oro Salmón tommygun, and Sparrowmon's Zanahoria pistols. Given that Astamon is a villain and Beelzebumon is one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, it's clear that Volcanusmon doesn't care about the morality of its client, just whether or not the client is impressive enough to deserve a special weapon and has the power to master its use. Volcanusmon works in silence, using all eight of its arms in harmony to create true artworks. It is not very good at fighting and prefers to work behind the scenes. Volcanusmon is based on the god Hephaestus/Vulcan. This is one of the gods that changed more in the transition between Greece and Rome as Hephaestus is specifically the god of smiths and craftsmen while Vulcan is more generally the god of fire, with smithing being just one of his roles. Since the fire god role was given to Apollomon, Volcanusmon leans heavily into the smith role. Another trait of Hephaestus that didn't carry over to many depictions of Vulcan is that he was disabled, having a bad leg due to (depending on which version of the story is told) either being born that way or being thrown off of Mount Olympus after birth. Volcanusmon's legs leem to be fine, but it does have bandages over its face and one eye, is using a breathing device, and is weak in battle, all of whcih hearken back to Hephaestus's disability. Volcanus or Vulcanus is sometimes used as an alternate name for Vulcan. The name Vulcan may descend from a god worshipped on the island of Crete named Velchanos. Volcanusmon's animal is the octopus, which appears to be an original idea rather than having any mythological basis.

The members of the Olympos XII have a varying relations to their mythological inspirations. Some are very strongly based on a god while in other, it is much more loose. The latter category is where Mercurymon comes in. Mercurymon is the fastest of all Digimon, so quick it cannot be seen with the naked eye. It also hates staying still and constantly travels the world. Mercurymon is also a shaman who can summon spirits from another world. Mercurymon is based on Hermes/Mercury, who was the god of a lot of things but was most famously the messenger of the gods. To aid in this duty, he wore winged sandals that allowed him to move at incredible speeds. That is literally the only thing that was brought over into Mercurymon. Well one attack description says Mercurymon has the Kerykeion, which is another word for the god's famous Caduceus staff, but that's the only place I could find it referenced. There's not even art of Mercurymon using it. Mercurymon also has some references to the Aztecs with its design and knife being named Aztec. Hermes/Mercury was sometimes associated with shamanism and divination, but Mercurymon's shaman aspects seem more Aztec. Mercurymon's English name is interesting. There was already a Digimon whose English name was rendered as Mercurymon (based on the metal) that debuted before Mercurymon. The dubbers experimented with Mercuremon or Mercurimon as new names, but somehow settled on Merukimon, which is complete gibberish. Mercurymon's animal is the wolf.

Another Olympos XII member who subscribes to the same "dude in an animal suit" school of design as Mercurymon is Marsmon. Known throughout the Digital World as a god of war, Marsmon is a master of every form of combat and will use underhanded methods in battle. While it has a variety of hidden weapons on its person, its preferred method of combat is wrestling. So focused on victory is it that it will cheat in battle if it is losing. Marsmon was the first member of the Olympos XII to debut and its reference book entry established the existence of the group. Marsmon is based on Ares/Mars, the god of war. He is one of the gods that has had the widest variety of depictions. Many of the Greek sources we have, which are mostly from an Athenian viewpoint, depict Ares as embodying all the worst aspects of warfare: brutality, savagery, fear, and pain. By contrast, the Roman view of Mars was more positive and he was revered as aone of the most important and beloved gods. This is partly due to him now embodying all aspects of war rather than just the worst parts and also due to him being merged with agricultural gods. In addition, he was said to be the father of Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome, making him the ancestor of Roman people. This can kind of be seen with Marsmon, who is a vaccine-attribute, which are usually seen as more heroic. Marsmon preferring wrestling is a reference to ancient Greek wrestling or Pále, a popular sport and the first sport added to the Olympics that wasn't a race. Marsmon's animal is the panther.

Probably my favorite member of the Olympos XII is Ceresmon. It is a god of nature that takes the shape of a colossal bird-shaped island with a forest on its back that flies through the air. The forest is called the Karpos Hulē (Greek for fruit forest) and grows the sweetest and most nutritious fruits in the world. Ceresmon is a gentle being who will allow injured and weak Digimon to live in its forest and feed on its fruits to grow strong. However, it will not tolerate those who disrespect nature and will bring down on them all the power a flying island can give. The island body of Ceresmon is more of a vehicle that the true Ceresmon uses. The true form, the humanoid on the bird's head, is Ceresmon Medium. Medium can detach from the bird and move around on its own, but it is weak on its own and will only do so around those it trusts. It's worth noting that Digimon Survive treats Ceresmon Medium as an independent Digimon no weaker than any other of its level. Ceresmon is based on Demeter/Ceres, goddess of nature and agriculture. She was seen as a motherly figure and a patron of the common folk, which fits with Ceresmon aiding common Digimon. The most famous myth involving the goddess, that of her daughter being taken to the underworld for half of the year, is not represented in Digimon. Ceresmon's animal is the bird.

Ceresmon (left) and Medium (right). Sidenote, Ceresmon is one of the few cases where I think the reference book art is better than the New Century art.

Some gods have grand purposes and some just want to have fun. That's where Bacchusmon comes in. It is the self-proclaimed foremost drinker of the Digital World and spends its entire time partying or preparing to party. It can brew any kind of alcohol within its body, but its favorite is made from the fruits of Ceresmon's forest. Because of this, Ceresmon and Bacchusmon are on good terms with each other. While jovial and generous, there is a dark side to Bacchusmon as it can generate all manner of horrific poisons in its body. It can also reconfigure the data of enemy Digimon to turn them into drinks, which it will then consume. Rumors say that human hackers are studying the data of Bacchusmon's poisons to develop chemical weapons. Some media gives Bacchusmon a mode change called Crapulence Mode, but most treat Crapulence mode as the normal Bacchusmon and give it no mode change. Bacchusmon is based on Dionysus/Bacchus, the god of wine, indulgence, and parties. He was a latecomer to the Greek myths, but eventually his following became so popular that writers and theologians replaced Hestia with him on the twelve Olympians. Bacchus was never considered that major in Rome, where Hestia/Vesta remained on their version of the twelve Olympians, the Dii Consentes. In fact, the festivals in his honor, Bacchanalias, were eventually banned due to them subverting the social order of Rome, though they of course continued to happen in secret. A really interesting thing that happened with Bacchus is becoming the subject of multiple mystery cults. The mystery cults are a really interesting and really complicated topic I do not know nearly enough to give a comprehensive overview of. To overly simplify, mystery cults were a trend in the Roman world of taking a god from a previous, often polytheist faith, and worshipping them as personal savior deities who could grant salvation (often salvation from death) to followers through fellowship, communion, and baptism. What made them mystery religions is that the general public and new initiates would be given false stories filled with metaphor and parable. Only as one advanced within the religion would they be considered wise enough to learn the true teachings. Because of this secrecy, we don't know the true teachings of a lot of the mystery religions, even if their public stories are well-documented. Bacchusmon's animal is the snake.

Minervamon is one of the most combat-focused of the Olympos XII. Despite having the physique of a young girl, she has incredible strength and can easily wave around her sword, Olympia, one-handed despite it being as large as her. Minervamon is a childish Digimon that prefers to spend its time playing and having fun (often through fighting things) and can throw temper tantrums if it gets mad. When Minervamon matures, she becomes Mervamon. This is sometimes treated as an evolution, but the two are the same level. Mervamon is much more mature and calm than Minervamon. SHe seeks elegance and sensuality at all times, even in battle, where she moves with the grace of a dancer even while hacking down enemies with her gigantic sword Olympia Kai. Because she is more mature, Mervamon is much more intelligent than Minervamon and is a brilliant strategist. She also no longer throws temper tantrums when mad. One one arm, Mervamon bears a snake named Medullia that can move and fight on its own. Minervamon is based on Athena/Minerva and being or at least starting as a hyperactive child with no attention span was a deliberate subversion of her mythological counterpart's role as the goddess of wisdom. The Greek Athena was also seen as a war goddess, representing the civilized aspects of warfare as opposed to Ares representing brutal warfare. Minerva lost many of the war aspects and became more focused on wisdom, though she still was associated with victory and strategy and was usually depicted holding a spear. I find it interesting that the transition to Roman mythology stripped Athena of her war aspects while the transition to Digimon stripped her of her wisdom aspects. Mervamon regains some of the wisdom aspects by being calmer and smarter. Another subversion of the original myths that Digimon uses is Mervamon being focused on sensuality (and being one of the more notorious sexymon) while the original Goddess swore to remain forever a maiden. Mervamon's name comes from Menvra, the Etruscan version of Athena that developed into Minerva. Minervamon's animal is the snake. Minerva was more famously associated with owls, but snakes were used as a motif as well.

While the Olympos XII rule the Digital World: Iliad, there is only one who commands the seas. This is Neptunemon, the absolute lord of all aquatic Digimon on Iliad. It resides in a castle built at the bottom of the ocean, so deep that only Digimon whose body can withstand the crushing pressure can travel there. Neptunemon is blindingly fast and can command powerful storms and tidal waves to crush its enemies. Neptunemon is based on Poseidon/Neptune, god of the sea. He was one of the most important gods to the greeks and retained a similar level of importance to the Romans, who expanded his domain to include fresh water. Like the gods, Netunemon wields a trident as a weapon. Tridens were used for spearfishing, hence their association with the water. Poseidon also dwelled in a palace underwater. Poseidon and Neptune were associated with horses, a trait that did not carry over to Digimon. While the gods were not generally depicted as mermen, Poseidon's son Triton was a merman with two fish tails. Neptunemon's animal is a fish.

The Digital World is a harsh place where the law of the jungle reigns and violence is a way of life. Into this world came Venusmon, who desires nothing more than peace. Venusmon rules over love and is filled with compassion. It is a pacifist that refuses to fight. All of its attacks deal no damage, instead pacifying the enemy. Wherever Venusmon goes, flowers bloom and the land is restored to beauty. Because of her looks and powerful glamour, Venusmon constantly has to deal with other Digimon swooning over her. This makes her uncomfortable and she wears a blindfold to reduce the effect of this power. Because she can't tell if a Digimon really likes her or is just enamored by her, Venusmon is rather lonely. Her only true friends are the two animals she travels with, a dove named Olive and a scallop named Hotan, who both talk to her without reservation. Venusmon is based Aphrodite/Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, desire, and sex. Venusmon is another case of Digimon deliberately subverting the traits of the god. Aphrodite was a promiscuous, vain, jealous, and proud goddess who seduced damn near everything while Venusmon is uncomfortable with all the attention she gets and tries to reduce it. The Roman Venus did have some association with peace as she can turn hearts from vice to virtue. Her friends being a dive and a scallop is because both doves and seashells were often used as symbols of Aphrodite. A common example of Aphrodite imagery has her rising form the sea, fully grown, supported by a giant scallop shell. Weirdly enough, Mercury, the god who is famous for having winged sandals doesn't get them on his Digimon counterpart, but Venusmon does for some reason. Venusmon's animal is a dove.

That is all the members of the Olympos XII, but because this monster of a post isn't long enough already, there are two more Digimon to go over. They aren't members, but they are tied to the Olympos XII's lore. The first is Plutomon. Plutomon shares Jupitermon's desire to punish evil, but its methods are so brutal and cruel that the dispassionate and neutral Jupitermon was disgusted and refused to allow it to join the Olympos XII. Plutomon rules the Dark Area of Iliad, the graveyard of deleted data where evil Digimon are consigned when they die. When not in the Dark Area, Plutomon patrols the world looking for villainous Digimon and attacking them. Its armor is covered with mouths that gnaw on sinners and it can summon a gigantic mouth that consigns those it swallows to the Dark Area. Even good Digimon, who Plutomon will not target, fear it due to its cruelty. Plutomon is based on Hades/Pluto, the god of the dead and ruler of the underworld. Hades/Pluto is often notorious for being depicted as evil in later adaptations, a trait that resulted from Christian writers using him as a satan figure, something Greek mythology lacks. While Hades was never viewed as a god of evil, he was feared and was never a popular god. His worship was often viewed more as appeasement than an act of devotion. Plutomon kind of draws from the devil in that he rules over the Digital World's hell (or Tartarus in this case) and torments evildoers. Unlike the devil, Plutomon does want to do good despite his methods. Think of him as the Punisher to Jupitermon's Superman. I don't know if this was intentional, but Plutomon's mouths chewing on evildoers reminds me of Satan's depiction in Dante's Divine Comedy, where his three mouth endlessly chew on the worst traitors in history. Its worth noting that Plutomon's usual pre-evolution, Cerberumon, is based on Hades's three-headed dog Pluto and guards the entrance to the Dark Area.

The final relevent Digimon is Titamon. Titamon is the enemy of the Olympos XII, born from the hatred of all the Digimon ever defeated by the Olympos XII in their battles for supremacy over Iliad. It now lives for nothing more than to slay the Olympos XII and will stop at nothing to kill them. Chambers on its arms hold the skulls of all those it has killed and it can call on their power to raise an army of phantom warriors fueled by hate. Titamon is based on the Titans, the generation of gods who lived before the Olympians. Eventually, the Olympians overthrew the Titans in a war called the Titanomachy. The majority of Titans were imprisoned, but a few who sided with the Olympians or stayed neutral were allowed to remain free. The Titans are often depicted as giants, but there's no real texutal evidence for them being bigger than the Olympians. Their siblings, the cyclopes and hecatoncheires, were giants and that''s where the idea may have come from. Titamon is indeed, gigantic. Titamon being able to summon an army from bones comes from the Spartoi, an army of warriors who sprung from the teeth of a dragon that were sown in the ground like seeds. Titamon also has some Japanese origins, with the names of its attacks and sword being Japanese. It was originally designed as an evolution for Ogremon intended to fill the role of Bacchusmon and to draw from the evil, alcoholic oni Shuten-Douji. the finished design was judged to be too evil for one of the Olympos XII and it was repurposed into an enemy of the group.

Olympos 12 Next gen partner-ups- Just Savers/Data Squad edition

Now that I’ve discussed who would be partnered with which members of the Olympos VII in both a “next gen crossover between Adventure and Savers” scenario and “Just of the 02 epilogue kids” scenario, I will now discuss who would be partnered with the Olympos VII in the event of Savers getting a next gen sequel focusing on their kids. While I think Adventure is more likely to have a Next Gen sequel at all, Savers is more likely to have its own next gen series (should it have one) assign all of the next Gen kids Olympos VII partners as so far it is the only Digimon Anime continuity to be canonically confirmed to have the Olympos 12, even though Mercurymon was the only member to appear in that series (and for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has seen Savers/Data Squad, he will also be the only one who will not be assigned a partner). For those who did not see my post speculating why Mercurymon is the only member of the Olympos VII to appear in Savers, I speculated that the majority of the Olympos VII were given a potion that cursed to revert to digieggs and remain as such until humans who are compatible with them came along. 

I’ll start by recapping the ones I’ve already speculated on

Dianamon- her partner would be Tohma’s daughter, whom I have dubbed Natsuki. Tohma and his partner, Gaomon, are associated with the moon and the color blue like Dianamon, so partnering Tohma’s daughter up with Lunamon/Dianamon was a no-brainer. 

Apollomon- I would assign Apollomon to Masaru’s son. Now you’re probably wondering, “how can Masaru have a kid? He moved to the Digital World, where there are no other humans, not to mention he’s probably aroace.” Well I have come up with all sorts of explanations as to how Masaru can have a kid ranging from “making him out of sand or magic clay ala Wonder Woman” to “drunken one-night stand with Maki from Tri.” Though if the idea of Masaru having a kid is too weird for you guys, we could instead give Natsuki a twin brother and make him Apollomon’s partner. However, I really like the idea of Apollomon’s partner having the same orange Digisoul and olive green eyes as the various members of the Daimon family, so I might have Tohma’s wife be a relative of the Daimon family (like a country cousin who came to stay with her uncle Suguru and aunt Sayuri to attend high school and she wound up hitting it off with Tohma).

Jupitermon- Again, he would be partnered with Suzume (Ikuto and Chika’s daughter)

Ceresmon- She’d be partnered with Yoshino’s daughter. 

Vulcanusmon- Vulcanusmon’s partnered would either a) another one of Tohma’s kids, b) the child of Masaru’s friend from episode 11 (blanking on his name), or c) one of the kids whose parents aren’t pre-established characters. 

Now onto the rest of the Olympos VII

Bacchusmon- In some of my other posts, I suggested that that Bacchusmon got so drunk that passed just before the massacre and stayed passed out until just after the events of Savers. My plans for a next gen story between the first six Anime have him pull a “you shall not pass” in order to give the heroes time to escape to the human world and he winds up getting captured by the villains and forcibly merged with Kouki (who consented to becoming a bio-hybrid again because he’s still obsessed with defeating Masaru). However, in the context of Savers getting a next gen story that DOESN’T cross over with the other anime, there’s a little more room to have him be partners with a member of the new generation. Since his domain is wine (hence why I usually imagine him as a mentor figure instead of being a partner Digimon), I would want his partner to be a young adult instead of a child. Since Bacchusmon is said to be friends with Ceresmon, whom I imagine being partnered with Yoshino’s daughter, I was also thinking that Bacchusmon's partner could be another relative of Yoshino’s, perhaps a niece or nephew. 

Minervamon- her partner (whom I imagine would also be a girl) would be either another one of Tohma’s kids or she would be Nanami’s daughter (who would be the maternal half-sister of Rei, more on him in the next section of this post).

Marsmon- he’s partnered with a boy (whom for argument sake I will call Rei; yes this is a Sailor Moon shoutout). I was thinking that Rei could be the illegitimate son of Nanami and Kouki. Maybe Kouki got back in touch with her a few years after Savers and they wound up having a messy romance that resulted in Nanami getting pregnant with Rei, at which point she broke up with Kouki without telling him about the kid because the idea of Kouki being a part of the kid’s life made her nervous. If Kouki finds out about Rei during this hypothetical next gen story (possibly while working with the main villain of the story), his initial reaction will be “Whatever. Back to figuring out how to beat Masaru once and for all.” Unlike Kouki (and Nanami for that matter), Rei is a relatively normal kid who heavily involved in the athletics at his school. Rei would also become good friends with Masaru’s son (assuming Masaru does indeed have a kid in this next gen story)

Junomon- I’m pretty content with Junomon being partnered with someone whose parents aren’t anyone of consequence. Also, I imagine Junomon’s partner would be a girl. 

Venusmon- Again, I’m content with Venusmon’s partner (whom I imagine would be a girl) not have pre-established characters for parents. Though if I had to make her partner be related to a pre-established character, I’d probably make her a relative of captain Satsuma (like a great-niece who lives with him, either temporalily while she’s attending high school or he legally adopted her after the untimely death of her parents). 

Neptunemon- Neptunemon’s partner (who would probably be a boy) would either not be related to anyone of consequence or he’ll be Yushima’s grandson or great-grandson

Could we get some Jupitermon and Junomon hcs please? Because Junomons description basically gives her no personality other than “loves Jupitermon” which is a shame cause she has a really cool design. Also I just honestly feel like Jupitermon is a massive simp and house husband when he has the time.

Jupitermon

Jupitermon, while seeming rather emotionless and with the ability to remain unbiased when judging whether something is evil or good willed, actually can be quite the affectionate Digimon. Especially when it comes to those he loves.

He 100% is a house husband when with the one he loves, and doesn't mind sharing chores, or doing them all by himself. He especially takes it upon himself to keep everything looking pristine when nobody else will and takes it upon himself to make sure it stays that way. Jupitermon is also a fairly decent cook at that.

Truly, he would do anything for the one he loves as well, while seeming to be so emotionless and cruel for the rules and laws he passes should he not be challenged, he takes the time when he's not doing his duties to attend to any need his partner has. He always checks in with them to be sure they're doing well, and if he needs to do anything for them, he will. Especially if they are sick, or unmotivated to care for themself.

Junomon

Junomon radiates mom energy with how caring she can be, and how defensive she gets over ones she loves should anything turn to attack them. She can and WILL adopt any Digimon (or human) that she thinks need her and seem good willed at heart -- or she tries to help guide them in the right direction should she sense any darkness growing in them.

She is very observant and can pick up on tells from those she has been around long enough. She knows when someone is lying, when they're embarrassed/feeling awkward, everything she can pick up she will see and take note of to help her dear one in such situation.

It takes a lot to get Junomon angry, as she's always fairly kind and caring, offering soft warmth to those that she deems in need of it. To truly poke at her buttons it takes PLENTY to get her upset. And she's terrifying when upset, her smile fading to a straight line as she simply goes quiet. It's not so much anger as it is quiet distain, much like when she is in battle.

Labramon and it's evolution line in digimon story: Guilty gear! I haven't decided on what Ultimate should I give it, Maybe considering giving it holydramon or junomon to finally complete to this line once and for all, But that is reserved for plotmon's evolution line...

man... I love for making these digigear posters that I made...😊

(And to the person who friended me and then flirted with me on discord after they found me on a guilty gear strive sever that I left due to a certain user and said that digimon and guilty gear are an odd combination while I said that I was watching a combination of digimon and guilty gear videos, Fuck you. No wonder why I blocked your ass on Discord, You pissed me the fuck off with that thing you said to me and I honestly think that this relationship won't work between us now. Should've just told you to your face that you don't even have a chance with me before I even blocked you, You dense ass motherfucker.)

Odilemon Level: Perfect (Ultimate) Attribute: Data

A Bird Man Digimon that dances with icy elegance. It has synthesized its dark and light aspects, achieving true neutrality. As such, it is generally unconcerned with questions of good and evil, preferring to hone its dancing skills over anything else. Its Special Moves are firing vacuum blades towards the opponent with graceful movements from its wings ("Mistral Rapier") and emitting a mournful cry from its beak, sinking those who hear it into an unfeeling stupor until they waste away ("Black Swan Song"). Suggested pre-evolved forms: Swanmon, Mallardmon, FairyTailmon, Cockatrimon, D'Arcmon, Kiwimon, Harpymon, Saberdramon

Suggested evolved forms: ???, ???, Enchantmon, Theramon, FrosVelgrmon, AncientIrismon, Ordinemon, Junomon, Mastemon

Consider: Digimon Tamer Yuu using a different Mega-level Digimon to help fight each Overblot. QueenChessmon for Heartslabyul, SaberLeomon for Savanaclaw, Leviamon for Octavinelle, AncientSphinxmon for Scarabia, Junomon for Pomefiore, Plutomon for Ignihyde, and both Examon and Alphamon for Diasomnia.

Sky

Rookie: Biyomon

Champion: Harpymon

Ultimate: Sanzomon

Mega: Junomon

Dark Mega: Junomon Hysteric Mode

Sky is a free loving Digimon from the northan continent of the Digital World. One of the many Digimon who live in the 'wild', AKA not in villages, she was a free spirit from the very core. Always trying to reach higher and higher as she flew.

But she never knew why

There was just this... Burning. To go higher. To reach for freedom.

For love

And one day that hunger to each higher manifested as something different. Not just higher, but wider. Further

To travel the whole world.

A journey to see the whole world

Little did she know.... She was one of the Olympos XII. She was Junomon, the Queen of the group. The second in command. She took the role, to the mission to defend the Digital World, easily

....

But that hunger for freedom never faded. And sometimes manifested as her inner darkness....

(also willing to play her as Sora's partner Biyomon)

Total drama file Island

After tons of work thinking, redoing and analyzing. I have redone my Digimon total drama crossover, and in this one every contestant and host gets a partner. It’s not much a serious au as if it was, it would be a much smaller cast and have a more interesting plot.

Also if this were to be a competition fic, then l would have it like this.

First boot- Rookie only

Premerge- Rookie -> Champion

Merge- Rookie -> Ultimate

Finalist- Rookie -> Mega

The main exceptions to this would be

The hosts- All would have access to all their levels, Commonly staying in ultimate level and be at mega in the finale.

Ezekiel, He would be Rookie only in island, Champion in world tour, Ultimate in Revenge and Mega in All stars

Scarlett would also achieve mega due to taking over the island and the contestants would have to fight her off.

Ridonculus race, It doesn’t have a merge so it would be

18th: Rookie only

17th -> 10th: Rookie to Champion

9th -> 3rd: Rookie to ultimate

Finalists- Rookie to mega

For all the partners, I’ve tried to make sure that all of them match their personality, reference a talent they have, the team they’re apart of, an episode they play a part in, or I just think they look good with the Digimon I chose. Also keep in mind that Digimon can become anything and isn’t linear, so yeah some lines will get very weird at times. Also yes, I’m also using appmon for some of them cause they fit and if I didn’t we would have even more repeats.

...quick question,what digimon partners do you think lillie and gladion from pokemon would have?lusamine has junomon and Selene and Hau already have the dawn and dusk pair,so do you have any suggestions?

SRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!!!!!!.!. I wanted to think about it before answering I think gladion would have gazimon as a partner but lillie still has me stumped. it's been a while since I've played sm/usum.... maybe a gomamon? I could see her with a pixiemon and maybe the juxtaposition of her and mojyamon could be interesting but I'm really unsure

#finnbox #also fair warning most of my digimon knowledge is adventure based since its my favorite series and i havent really finished any others
