Digimon Frontier (Swap) Episode 35: Takuya and Koji's Evolution Revolution (change title as you see fit)
I honestly don't know what to name this one, but I might call it 'The Digidestined's Evolution Revolution' because I am so unsure.
So, the Swapped Digidestined get picked off one by one in this episode, starting with Kouji/Koji, whom Cherubimon Vice calls a 'worthless pawn' that 'outlived their usefulness'. Enraged, Kouji/Koji attacks Cherubimon, only to find that there's no light inside him to use. Cherubimon takes this opportunty to take the reborn Spirits of Light, transforming Wolfmon/Lobomon right in front of Kouji/Koji and ordering the newly formed Digimon to attack him. Katsuharu and Kouichi/Kochi intervene, transforming into Walpurgismon (I finally thought of a name!) and Raihimon/Rhihimon respectfully. The two manage to free Wolfmon/Lobomon, but find themselves struggling as they forget the properties of Ophanimon's cage. As Patamon and Ophanimon remind the two of this, Walpurgismon and Raihimon/Rhihimon sweatdrop, and run out of the cage to combat Cherubimon/Kerpymon.
Chiaki, Teruo, and Teppei look into the Light Cage, realizing if they can pull the mirrors from the ground, they could free Ophanimon from Cherubimon Vice/Kerpymon easily. As the trio do this, Katsuharu and Kouichi/Kochi are having trouble fighting against Wolfmon/Lobomon, and eventually are forced tyo return back to their human forms after sustaining too much damage.
Taking their D-Tectors and leaving Katsuharu and Kouichi/Kochi on the ledge that Wolfmon/Lobomon finished them at, Cherubimon/Kerpymon decides to return back to the cage Ophanimon was left in. But not before knocking them to the edge of the cliff.
The four others are managing to remove one of the mirrors, but Cherubimon/Kerpymon surprises them by backstabbing Grottemon/Grumblemon, forcing Teppei to devolve right then and there. Chiaki, Teruo and Kouji/Koji immediately transform into Ranamon, Arbormon, and Wolfmon/Lobomon respectfully. However, thanks to the surprise attack, Cherubimon/Kerpymon takes down Arbormon and Wolfmon/Lobomon, taking their D-Tectors on top of it. Ranamon slide evolves straight into Calamaramon, using her multiple limbs to try and both focus on the fight, as well as try and free Ophanimon out of her cage.
Despite Ophanimon's protests, Calamaramon tries to both, only to then get blindsided by Cherubimon/Kerpymon last minute, transforming into Chiaki and the evil bunny getting the D-Tector. Thinking quick, Ophanimon appeals to Charubimon/Kerpymon's good nature, getting close enough to take the D-Tectors out of his hands. She kisses Cherubimon/Kerpymon on the cheek, leaving him dazed enough to not notice the missing D-Tectors... Up until he realized he wasn't holding onto them anymore.
Enraged, Cherubimon hunts Ophanimon down, only to find her giving the last of her power to the Chosen Children/Digidestined. Dismayed beyond all belief, and the remnant of Ophanimon telling the Chosen Children/Digidestined that they could combine all their forms without much trouble, Cherbuimon/Kerpymon loses the last remnents of sanity he has left. The Children immediately find instead of Katsuharu and Kouichi/Kochi having further upgrades with the rest having to give up their Spirits, they all got upgrades and a second form from Ophanimon's blessing. All of them transformed as Cherubimon/Kerpymon roared onto the scene, ending the episode.

Digimon Frontier’s Beta Designs.
With the release of the Blu Ray DVD of Digimon Frontier, the official Digimon account in twitter is releasing the beta designs of the Digimons of Digimon Frontier.
First we have Flamon (Flamemon in the dub), it’s design is pretty different. Originally, the creators wanted that Digimon Frontier were originally centered in an adventure settled in a colosseum, where Tamers fight fused with their digimons, (based in the Matrix Evolution (”Biomerge Digivolution” in the dub) from Digimon Tamers and from there the plot is evolving, but they scrapped it. Here’s a concept art of how Digimon Frontier was suppoused to look:
The third image features a beta Digimon that resembles Hippogriffomon, then named “Grifumon”, just compare:
The tweets of these images says:
デジモンフロンティア15周年で語るちょっと裏話。当初の当初はバトルスタジアムで繰り広げるデジモンバトルでした。魔獣(デジモン)と人が融合し1対1のバトルをする。炎の魔獣は制御が難しいため尻尾と角のデータを欠き本来の凶暴性をセーブし融合して誕生したのが当初のフレイモンでした(続く)
続き���最終デザインの頭の突起はその設定の名残なのですね。ちなみにイラストで戦っている相手はグリフモンという仮名。当初の案は早々に立ち消えて冒険モノにシフトしつつ、デジモンと人との融合、デジモンでありながら人である中間的な存在「ハイブリッド体」は活きていったのでした。 #デジモン
Translated is:
“A little inside story that talks about the Digimon Frontier 15th Anniversary. Initially, it was a digimon battle that was unfolded at the battle stadium. Monsters (Degimon) and people merge and do a one-on-one battle. Because the monster of the flame is difficult to control, it was the original Freimon that was created by saving the data of the tail and horns and saving and fusing the original ferociousness (continued)
Continued) The protrusion of the head of the final design is a remnant of that setting. By the way, the opponent fighting in the illustration is pseudonym Griffon. The original idea faded away early and shifted to adventure things, while the fusion between Digimon and human being, the intermediate being “Hybrid” that was both Digimon and human being, was active. #Digimon”
Then we have Agnimon (Agunimon in the dub), it gone through many designs. The beta name then was “Ifuriimon”. The tweet doesn’t say nothing interesting, just this:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」は4月2日(木)に発売!発売まで一ヶ月を切り、今日から #デジモンフロンティア に関する掘り出しイラストを少しだけ公開しちゃいますまずはアグニモンのラフから決定稿までのデザイン。初期ネームではイフリーモンとつけられていました。 #デジモン
Traslated:
"Digimon Frontier Blu-ray BOX" will be released on April 2nd (Thu)! It takes a month to go on sale, and a few excerpted illustrations on #Degimon Frontier will be published today. In the initial name, it was attached to Ifleemon. #Digimon
Then we have Wolfmon (”Lobomon” in the dub). It’s changes are interesting. The tweet says:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」4月2日(木)発売。今日の #デジモンフロンティア 掘り出しイラストは、ヴォルフモンのラフデザインを公開初期デザインから方向性はほぼ変わらず進んだんですね。そして2つ目のラフの後に人間味のある瞳に変更されました #デジモン

Then we have Duskmon, it doesn’t have great changes.
Then we have Velgrmon (”Velgemon” in the dub). It doesn’t have significative changes.
The tweet where both appear says:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」4月2日(火)発売!今日の #デジモンフロンティア 掘り出しイラストは、ダスクモンとベルグモンを公開。ダスクモンの造形は早めに決まりつつ、白でいくか黒でいくかで色の検討したようですね。ベルグモンは大きさ比較があって分かりやすい♪ #デジモン #Digimon
Translated:
"Degimon Frontier Blu-ray BOX" released on Tuesday, April 2! Today's # Digimon Frontier excavated illustrations reveal the Duskmon and Bergmon. It seems that while examining the formation of dasukumon early, the color was examined by going white or going black. Bergmon has a size comparison and is easy to understand ♪ # Digimon # Digimon
Then we have the most interesting designs ever! We have the designs of Chackmon (”Kumamon” in the dub). For what it seems Chackmon is the most complex Legendary Warrior to design. First they designed him a rabbit-like Digimon and then as a polar bear-like Digimon, apparently this second one was the basis of what would be Chackmon. The beta names of Chackmon were “Polarmon” and “Shirokumon” and my headcannon is that “Polarmon” is the rabbit Digimon, while “Shirokumon” is the polar bear Digimon.
This what the tweets of this Digimon says:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」4月2日(火)発売!今日の #デジモンフロンティア 掘り出しイラストは #ホワイトデー ということで白いデジモンのラフデザインを公開です。さてこの2枚の初期デザインから、どのデジモンかわかるかな?「氷」と書かれていますね… #デジモン #Digimon
正解はチャックモンでした!試行錯誤したことが分かりますね。ネーム候補は白熊からシロクモンやポーラモン。その後スタッフさんの名刺に描かれていたクマを額のマークに取り入れ、そのスタッフさんの名前を訛った形でチャックモンと名付けられたのでした #デジモンフロンティア #デジモン #Digimon
Translated as:
"Degimon Frontier Blu-ray BOX" released on Tuesday, April 2! Today's # Digimon Frontier's unearthed illustration is a white design that exposes the rough design of White Digimon. Well, do you know which Digimon from these two initial designs? The word “ice” is written on it ... # Digimon # Digimon
The correct answer was Chuck Mon! You can see that it was trial and error. Name candidates are white bears and white bears and polar bears. Then I took the bear drawn on the staff's business card to the mark of the forehead and named it Chuckmon in the form that the staff's name was given.
Then we have Blitzmon (”Beetlemon” in the dub). And is interesting how the design was changed. It’s beta name is “Billbeemon”.
Then we have Bolgmon (”MetalKabuterimon” in the dub). It’s interesting the design of this Digimon. By the way, did you knew that the beta name of this Digimon is “MetalKabuterimon”? They reused it’s beta name in the dub! Coincidence?
This is what the Tweets say:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」4月2日(火)発売!今日の #デジモンフロンティア 掘り出しイラストはボルグモンとブリッツモン。まずはボルグモン。ラフから色・造形がかなり試行錯誤している感じアリ?ビリビーモンやメタルカブテリモンという初期ネームも書かれてますね。 #デジモン #Digimon
続いてブリッツモン。こちらは初期ラフからマッシブな造形となって決定稿に導かれていますね。次回もお楽しみに♪ #デジモンフロンティア #デジモン #Digimon
Translated:
"Degimon Frontier Blu-ray BOX" released on Tuesday, April 2! Today's # Digimon Frontier Digging illustrations are Borgmont and Blitzmon. First is Borgmon. Feeling that color, form is considerably trial and error from rough? The initial names of Billibee Mon and Metal Cab Terimon are also written. # Digimon # Digimon
Next is Blitzmon. This is a rough draft from the initial rough and is led to the final draft. Look forward to next time ♪ 😄 # Digimon Frontier # Digimon # Digimon
Then we have Grottemon (”Grumblemon” in the dub). Here’s the beta design of this Digimon.
Here’s also an art of Gigasmon:
The tweet where these two appear says:
伝説の十闘士の力を受けづいた土の能力もつグロットモンとギガスモンの2体。どちらもラフが最終稿とほぼ同じデザイン。グロットモンは腕のマークなどで少し調整があるくらい? さらにさらに… #デジモンフロンティア #デジモン #Digimon
Translated:
Grottomon and Gigasmon have the soil ability that has received the power of legendary ten fighters. Both have roughly the same design as the final draft. Grotmon has a little adjustment with the mark of the arm etc.? Further more ... # Digimon Frontier # Digimon # Digimon
Then we have miscellaneous art of different Digimons:
Arbormon
Petaldramon
Mercuremon (”Mercurymon” in the dub)
Sephirothmon (”Sakkakumon” in the dub)
Ranamon
Calamaramon (“Calmaramon” in the dub)
Fairimon (”Kazemon” in the dub). Did you knew that Fairimon’s beta names were “Elfmon” and “Sylphmon”?
Marsmon, although he never apppears in the anime. Maybe he was suppoused to appear at one point. The beta name of Marsmon is “Bersekmon”.
The tweets of these images say:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」4月2日(火)発売!今日の #デジモンフロンティア 掘り出しイラストはドドンと公開。まずはアルボルモン、ペタルドラモン、メルキューレモン、セフィロトモンの4体です♪ 設定の記載もありますね #デジモンフロンティア #デジモン #Digimon
続いてラーナモン、カルマーラモン、フェアリモン、マルスモンの4体です。マルスモンの初期ネームはベルセクモン、フェアリモンはエルフモンかシルフモンの候補があったり、とっても興味深いですねー♪ そしてそして… #デジモンフロンティア #デジモン #Digimon
Translated as:
"Degimon Frontier Blu-ray BOX" released on Tuesday, April 2! Today's # Digimon Frontier excavated illustration is published with Dodon. At first it is four bodies of albormon, petal doramon, mercury lemon, sefi roto mon ♪ There is a statement of setting, too. # Digimon Frontier # Digimon # Digimon
Next are Lanamon, Carmar Ramon, Faerimon and Marsmon. Marsmon's initial name is Bersekmon, and Fairrimon is a candidate for Elfmon or Sylphmon, so it's very interesting ♪ And and ... # Digimon Frontier # Digimon # Digimon”
Then we have Garummon (”KendoGarurumon” in the dub). The beta names of this Digimon were “BladeGarurumon” and “SaberGarurumon”.
The tweet in which this Digimon appears says:
「デジモンフロンティアBlu-ray BOX」4月2日(火)に発売!今日の #デジモンフロンティア 掘り出しイラストはガルムモンを公開。台座状態のイラストとガルムモン初期デザインと決定稿です。初期ネーム候補はブレードガルルモン・セイバーガルルモンとありますね #デジモン #Digimon
Translated as:
Degimon Frontier Blu-ray BOX" released on Tuesday, April 2! Today's # Digimon Frontier unearthed illustrations published Garmmon. It is an illustration of a pedestal state and Garummon initial design and a draft. There is a first name candidate with the blade Garurumon Sabergarurumon Hey you # Digimon # Digimon
And finally we have the beta design of an unnamed Digimon that was suppoused to appear in the anime, but never appeared. It’s design is very cool. The people of Bandai belived that they lost this design.
The tweet says:
没キャラとなったラフデザインも発掘されましたラフからでも伝わるカッコ���さ…没になっていたのがもったいない 次回も掘り出しイラストお楽しみに! #デジモンフロンティア #デジモン #Digimon
Translated as:
The rough design that has become an extinct character has also been excavated. The coolness transmitted even from the rough. # Digimon Frontier # Digimon # Digimon
What do you think of this?
