The Tai clones

good morning/evening/noon/night depending the time you may be reading this. the simple end of this porpouse is quite simple, show all the clones of Taichi Yagamai from digimon adventure 01 and compare them to the original. there is no other end to this,but to simply have fun messing with digimon.


Overview or Tai`s description in this case


Tai in adventure 01
Tai in adventure 02
Taichi Yagami is young boy with a brave and sometimes hot-headed nature. he is kind and sometimes aggressive. he is one of the persons who is used to take on leadership in a group and try to become the "hero". due to his somewhat impulsive nature he is prone to commit many mistakes in which we include sometimes overseeing the others needs or problems. despite his immature nature Tai is a very good friend and partner, nor retreating neither holding back much less fleeing. he is very outgoing and brave his emblem is courage) taking little importance of his own life to save others. his personality drastically changes in adventure 02 when he becomes much more mature and calm, i would say he was brain swapped due to the fact he changed so much that he looks like a different person in adventure 02. he is more cunning and calm,laid back and easygoing.his leadership skills changed drastically, he is not the leader but just a "member". the most important fact is that he created the google fashion and the reptile digimon fashion. he is the very first and legendary chosen child to be copied (i`m not saying the others weren`t). in a short answer he is the very first leader to who personality and model is copied in later series.



the bad-made clones

Davis Motomiya
the very first "clone" Tai got and to date the only one he is really related. in appearance Davis or Daisuke to others is phisically alike to Tai excepto for shorter hair which is more red in his case. Davis inherits Tai`s emblem of courage which clearly leads to him being the replacement leader in this new story. his personality is however much different from Tai`s. he is much less impulsive, more cooperative, somewhat less rash and definitely despite all clear routes he IS NOT THE REAL LEADER. to be clear in this sense he never was a proper leader (T.K actually was the true leader) and never did that much to keep a group. he mas far more romantic and emotional with his crush Kari or Hikari to others. (ironically Tai`s sister). his digimon has great resemblance to Agumon,both are dragons or reptiles, share the fire attributee and are very close to their partners. to conclude Davis is phisically similar to Tai but, his persona was more similar to an openhearted Matt. he never was a proper leader and was definitely not as impulsive as Tai.

Takato Matsuda

to begin with he is a CRYBABY ssensible boy. he is not exactly alike to Tai phiscally (except for the googles and the usual protagonist with the dinosaur digimon) and his persona is much different from his. he is sensible, somewhat shy and a little coward (this changes as the series progresses). he is definitely not hte sticker of the group as Tai was, he barely made friends with Rika and Henry and was not exactly the glue of the relationship. his status as the leader of the group is even more different form Tai`s since in reality he like Davis/Daisuke was never a proper leader. he however shared the same feeling Tai had for his beloved digimon when they turned berserk (Skullgreymon for Tai and Megidramon for Takato) and developed far more courage and friendship as the series goes on. he i far more similar to Joe from adventure 01/02 if you think better of it...



 
Takuya Kanbara 

finally the only well made clone!, but not perfect to clear out. Takuya like the whole digimon frontier series is basically an analogy of the original series, he is very similar to Tain in apperance (the googles ain`t missing here) and he is around the smae age as Tai, heck even his evolutions are a direct reference to Agumon and his evolutions. (Agunimon,BurningGreymon,Aldamon,KaiserGreymon and Susanoomon which is similar to Omegamon) his leadership skills are very similar to Tai`s and he is basically the absolute leader and protagonist with Koji. his personality is once again very similar to Tai: very enthusiastic, has a crush for the gril in the group(Zoey/Mizoe), becomes the leader of the group, is the first  to gain the evolution and his emblem is fire which is directly a reference to Agumon`s main atribute. he however has certain characteristics that differ him from the original protagonist, he is far lesss friendly to his younger bro unlike Tai which was overprotective to Kari most of the series, is somewhat less impulsive since he never harmed or tried to fight any of his allies (unless you count Koichi as Duskmon) and is definitely the type of guy which at least plans before acting (nah Tai ain`t have a plan for something. 


Marcus/Masaru Daimon 

AKA as the guy that solves everything with his deux ex machina punch. to begin with he is older than Tai and physically( he doesn`t wear googles!) he is not alike to his in, mostly, however he does share certain similarities with Tai in persona but to a higher degree. he is even more impulsive and hot-headed than the original Tai often recurring to violence and a fight to solve everything (he fought his Agumon in a fist fight) and is less likely to speak things. he again is the typical "i am the protagonist and hero" hoewever like Takato and Davis/Daisuke he is not the true leader of the group, Touma/Thomas was in fact. despite not sharing certain charcteristics he does share some things in his personality with Tai like: being an overprotective or afective brother hto his younger sister Chika/Christy, being a brave moron boy and his true and even deeper friendship with his fellow digimon. Masaru/Marcus may not be a clone or even a copy to my opinion he is a different character that tries to break with the clonemania and indeed succeeds at this.


Taiki Kudou 

 my favorite protagonist to date! i woudn`t call him a clone exactly. he is WAY more different than Tai(at least the one in adventure 02) in personality,but since he is a protagonist in digimon he is classified a s a clone. to begin with his hair is spiky and is somewhat alike to Tai`s, he is around the same age Tai was in adventure 01 and is wears the typical googles (only Masaru broke the law). his leadership skills are even better than Tai since he is able to control and keep the a bigger group in order and control i, he despite this is a good tactician something unseen in other leaders or protagonists. his kindness is way more impressive than the other clones and Tai himself, he will protect and help anyone whenever he can even against their will or if they refuse this is caused due to a childhood trauma he had when he was unable to help a kid who was caught in the middle of the rain and Taiki offered his help,but the kid refused and eventually faded away and an ambulance came to pick him up. since then Taiki is like Shirou Emiya from Fate/stay night helping everyone and anyone.his digimon is not exactly a clone from Agumon, much less i would clasify him as a clone of Agumon, Shoutmon is very different in skills and evolutions. to end with Taiki like Masaru is a different concept from the original protagonist whic becomes and independent character from the original protagonist, he is indeed a better version of Tai (someone will troll me for this)
 

final words

this was fun to do! i really hope you can enjoy this material and leave any comments if you please. (putting a comment won`t kill you) please have a nice day/noon/night and keep tuned since i usually bring out fresh material when i smoke think deeply 

disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS PICTURES NEITHER DIGIMON OR THE CHARACTERS.

Chaosmon: the chaotic miracle

hello and have a good morning/evening/night depending the time you may be reading this. this post will be something i`ve wanted to do from a long time and now i have the chance to do so, i will make a post of a very powerful yet very fragile digimon, you don`t know the name? the name is Chaosmon a very underrated and ignored digimon in the franchise. i hope that with my post he will get some popularity and more attention instead of being tagged as "a phony omegamon" or "a gayer Omegamon" and even "that weird digimo that looks like Omegamon" not any of that for me. Chaosmon deserves an own identity and to get out of the shadow of his look alike Omegamon. so let us begin!

Overview


first of all Chaosmon  is a name which comes from the greek KHAOS which means basically disorder or lack of order. is a mega Digimon level born throught the fusion of a DarkDramon and a BantyoLeomon(curiously this two digimon are enemies XD) which makes a very rare digimon that is very similar to another mega type Dna evolution mix: Omegamon. however, unlike Omegamon or any other DNA created digimon he is extremely unstable and is presumed to have a very very short life span. the concept of "unstable" has not been cleard out really to date, most people say he is unstable on a way he can die any time, other say his power is unmesurable and at the same time pathetic due for not controllling his power consistently yet still comes another theory that states thay his DNA digievolution was not completely succesful and instead of his materials to be turned into a single digicore he was created with two creating a double personality, probably this leads him to be an unstable individual emotionally and mentally. to be fair i won`t go with any theory since there is very little information to be really precise about this. still he being unstable perfectly fits his name and tittle. about his power is another debate, most people think he is stronger than a regular Omegamon due to have superior DNA materials, other say his "unstability" makes him rather inconsistent in battle and fairly weak, personally to try to be fair i don`t think the materials have a really important weight in the equation since going throught this logic Milleniummon should be weaker than Omegamon and we all know a Milleniummon wipes the floor with at least 10 Omegamons, so no the argument of:"his materials are better" is not valid here. the "unstable" part will not be touch due to the ambigueties in it. some cards state that Chaosmon`s personality is :"beyond good and evil" so he has no hatred, envy, compassion, sadness, joy, pride or any emotion at all. since he is a chaotic digimon his alignment is still unknown.


Apperance

Chaosmon`s apperance changes widely between his forms. in his "base" form he has the bantyo arm in his right arm which is basically the head of BantyoLeomon which is a sword and the darkdra arm in his left which is an arm that resemble DarkDramon and is a cannon. he has "ribbons" similar to those used by Rhodoknightmon and i really think they are blades he uses for combat. his legs are rather weird being similar to tissues. his face is a white mask with no eye color really visible due to the lack of images he has. in jis valdur form he has changed his Darkdra rm and turned it into the Valdur arm which is basically the head of Varudorumon. he also lost his ribbons and has gained angelical wings. in his ultimate form and by far the most grotesque one he has several limbs from many digimon and has two big yellow eyes, this form lacksa legs,head and even a complete body.



Chaosmon base form

this is the most well known Chaosmon and my favorite one. as you can see he is very similar to Omegamon. he has a loly ring if you can see closely and in his right shoulder he wields a sacred ring which is a characteristic of the holy digimon and in his left shoulder he has a black band which is a complete demostration of an evil digimon. this evidences demonstrate that Chaosmon just like Lucemon Chaos mode is another digimon that is between light and darkness. his moves are:

  • Bantyo Blade : Dispatches an invincible decisive stroke from the BAN-TYO Blade.
  • Dark Prominence: Fires off its own digital cells from the Gigastick Cannon.
  • End of Paradox: throws shots from both light and darkness from his arms.
    Apperances in media:
    Digimon world data squad
    Chaosmon is received through defeating him as an optional boss and then fulfilling Gaomon requirements to digivolve into him. 
    Digimon world dusk/dawn

    Chaosmon can be obtained throught the DNA digievolution of Darkdramon and BantyoLeomon or BantyoLeomon and Valdurmon or Vldurmon and DarkDramon. the requirements are to be level 67 with 420 or more attack and have a total of 70000 exp points or more.



    Chaosmon Valdur Arm b.jpgChaosmon Valdur arm
    this is an alternate form of Chaosmon which instead of having the Darkdra arm and the gigastick cannon posesses the Valdur arm which grants his four angelical wings and the valdur arm. the differnce in power between the Valdur arm and the Darkdra arm are not yet defined but most people think that the Valdur arm is stronger due to Valdurmon being considered superior ro Darkdramon. this form of Chaosmon has benn created between the fusion of a BantyoLeomon and a Valdurmon. like his base form he is considered a bug and a mistake in the system. his moves are:

    • Haou Ryoudanken (覇王両断剣 ? lit. "Tyrant Bisection Sword"): Dispatches an invincible decisive stroke from the BAN-TYO Blade.
    • Aurora Blaster: Fires a purifying shot of light from its Valdur Arm. 



    UltimateChaosmon


    believe it or not this blob of limbs and parts is the final and most powerful to date version of Chaosmon. unlike his predecesors who can have a body structure he has really no body system and is just amix of many parts that try to be dominant after the DNA evlution. he is a much much unstable form of Chaosmon and much bigger. due to being to date the only DNA evolution to use more than 2 materials with a total of four. here is the equation:
    BantyoLeomon + DarkDramon + Sleipmon + Valdurmon = UltimateChaosmon. witha total of four megas in it. he is supposed to be so powerful taht he can kill rookie-level digimon and below with his presence and makes champions scream in pain with his sole presence. i can`t really confirm if taht is true or not since in the manga he didn`t amd seems to be more a bloodlusted monster than a rational being.... his moves are:

    • Broken Destroy: Attacks with the might to easily crush even larger Digimon.
    • Ultima Burst: Releases the energy of its DigiCores all at once, then fires it at the opponent.


    apperances in media

    UltimateChaosmon appeared in the digimon xros manga with some Megidramons and Argomons as a result in the separation of the essence of ZeedMilleniummon. he is ultimately defeated by Shoutmon X7 superior mode.


    Final words

    it was a complete pleasure to make this. really Chaosmon deserves much more space in the franchise and is often underestimated and nderseen i hope that with this post someone can see how awesome Chaosmon is. with no more filler to add it was a pleasure. see you next time.
