Thoughts on the initial Digimon Liberator teaser in a nutshell. (I say initial because we're getting a proper reveal in January as Ryo-Okay pointed out.)

•Really digging the three new Digimon, though we can't see much of the one in the upper left corner. (Me to Bandai: Please put them on BE Memory Cards or use at least one of them as unlockables in the Wave 2 Digimon Pendulum Colors, K THX BAI-)
•The bird certainly isn't Jesmon's disciple at this point, but given that tornado on his finger in the first visual, my speculation that his Ultimate form might be a Vortex Warrior has more weight to it now. I'm also getting masked luchador vibes from him (Maybe Digimon's answer to Hawlucha?)... which means if his Ultimate isn't a Vortex Warrior, it could be a wrestler which I'd also be down for. Also, his color scheme is really cool. Like this guy already.
•The mouse in the shoe looks cute. Looking forward to seeing his evolutions. If there's one thing we know about Digimon at this point, we know that unexpectedly awesome evolutions can come from the least likely Digimon.
•Very happy about the choices of returning Digimon to act as main protags, especially the Pendulum Z boys. (Yay, Ghostmon!) Omekamon's inclusion is the most interesting to me, because if he gets new evolutions we'll finally get a full proper line for ToyAgumon (ToyAgumon > Omekamon has been a thing for a while now, so we'd just slap ToyAgumon at the beginning of whatever they do with Omekamon here).

Also, it's not the Digimon Adventure 25th anniversary we're celebrating next year, but the Digimon Anime 25th anniversary. Looks like I was right about Bandai realizing that Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning coming out so close to the end of this year would severely limit their options if they just celebrated Adventure's anniversary given that there wouldn't be enough time to produce yet another sequel movie this time, LOL. Digimon Con 2024 is going to be talking about that... hopefully we'll get a proper anniversary season that stands out on its own.

One more thing. Digimon New Century introduced another brand new Digimon, Takutoumon. The fact that his beard gives Gankoomon's a run for its money aside, I love the idea and hopefully we get the other members of the Four Heavenly Kings as Digimon to go with him eventually.

*Mutters something about Bandai Namco not wanting to make a fully detailed Digimon announcement this close to Christmas for some reason and yet feeling that it's okay to make potentially big announcements for THE iDOLM@STER on Christmas Day being super inconsistent under his breath despite being a fan of both franchises*

Digimon Liberator was properly announced. It's a webcomic and starts next year. We'll get more info in January. 3 new Digimon were shown off with it, the poster boy from the teaser, a plush toy in a shoe, and a pink and blue guy that I can't really make out much. The main Digimon's colors are nice, and it reminds me a bit of Merveamon's younger brother from Xros Wars.

Also, Digimon Con 2024 was announced. I'm not expecting any announcements, so I hope they can make more interesting segments this year.

I just uploaded the PDF of the Shido Hen novel to Eff.

I need to go through it again, but that won't be for a few weeks. Kinda tired of looking at it right now!

If you see issues, let me know what it is and what page it's on and I'll look at it.

Enjoy,

Finally looked at it very briefly... well, looking FOR things.

Nope, the novel also neglects to give "Jovia's mother from her previous life" a freaking name... or a name for Jovia in her previous life, for that matter (unless it's done elsewhere). Annoying.

Oddly deletes the confusing mention of Jovia having a daughter on Barrium too.

... Who is "Kensei-san" and his daughter? They consider sending the extra test deserts to him... wait... the Renza assassin and his daughter? what a bizarre ref to drop with no context.

Are these decent sales numbers? I don't really know much about the market but curious if these would be considered success or failure levels.

Finally got around to reading these last two.

Meant to mention in response to the last episode, not a big fan of calling Miron a representative of "The United Nations" - I always assumed the group that knew of Jurai, etc. was more of an Illuminati group. I guess you could say that they're just using the UN, but it's still weird.
But it does make sense that Miron's military experience would be with UN troops rather than one of a specific country.
