New Digimon peeps- season 4

**RockItShipper** · 02-03-2002, 10:01 PM

No clue what's being said, aside from a description I've seen elsewhere... (will post later) And yes... Only one's a girl. The one who looks like Sora in Tai-drag is male, the one with a black ponytail is male, the obese one is male and the little kid is male.

This new series, Digimon Frontier, is the 4th "season" in the Digimon franchise. From what I read on the site, this one starts April 7th in Japan so we would probably see it about a year or two later.

**RockItShipper** · 02-04-2002, 12:27 PM

It'd premiere this September, if Tamers is any indication. I had about 20 episodes of Tamers on tape when Fox started airing it and I imagine that to be the case when Frontier starts to air.

Pokemon has a turnover rate of about a year from Japan to the US.

I heard a rumor (mind you, RUMOR) that supposedly the big gimmick of Season 4 is that these Tamers actually shapeshift into their Digimon counterparts (digiweres? Weredigimon? Digicanthropy?)

If that's true, I'm officially intrigued.

**RockItShipper** · 02-04-2002, 03:29 PM

Well, the last episode I've seen of Tamers so far has something like that.

A seemingly naked Takato (a la Sailor Moon) merges with Guilmon to create Dukemon. (stop staring, "Henry"!)

I'm guessing at least the other 2 main Tamers ("Henry" and "Rika") will get the same transformation sequence.

I don't usually follow rumors, if only because I want to be surprised when I get the tapes and all... But Toei uses alot of the Sentai gimmicks/archetype characters in Digimon. Usually. I mean, Tamers doesn't seem to have a goth boy and Frontier as of yet has no tomboy.

**Auggie Doggie** · 02-09-2002, 08:56 AM

What gender is Takuya Kanbaru? Boy or Girl?

BTW, don't expect it in the US, unless ABC or ABC Family can pull a surprise.

ANIME ON ABC?! Hey, anything can happen, even though it's a stark change from their US programming. (Take that, Saturday Good Morning America!) Besides, Disney has worked with anime before, even though it was lousey. (I'm talkin' about Kiki's delivery service.)

Yep, it's true so far. There was about a 24 page topic on it over at Megchan's board. Oh yeah, check out the girl(she reminds me of Mimi Tachikawa *drool*), if memory serves me correct, her name is Izumi. I can't wait to see the confusion with all the Koushiro/Izzy fans out there!

BTW, don't diss Junpei!!!! Finally, Digimon is becoming realistic by adding a heavy set kid!

And none of them have freaky hair anymore(*cough*Tai*cough*).

Edit- And another thing.....why do people think Takuya is a Tai/Sora clone? Maybe it's just me, but he looks more like Daisuke and Sora's love child more than anything. Hehe, a "Daiora". That would be a good story for fanfiction.net.

**Naraht** · 02-09-2002, 09:30 AM

Figures as soon as Digimon starts getting good...they take it off the air....

*sigh*

**RockItShipper** · 02-09-2002, 12:50 PM

I like Junpei! I'm at a bit of a loss how to describe him politely, but I'll get to it. I just hope I'm not getting this pairing outta nowhere and that the actual show backs me up on it.

Edit- And another thing.....why do people think Takuya is a Tai/Sora clone?

I just think he looks like Sora dressed up as Tai.... Just like Takato resembles scribbles I made around 12/00 of Ken and Daisuke's son. (That gave way into a theory about Hikari, Takato and the DaiKen boyz that was inspired by Sailor Moon.)

**SonGoku V3** · 02-09-2002, 02:39 PM

for some reason, I'd love to see Daisuke and Ken's love child. That would be funny!

As a matter of fact, I thought their handling of Kiki's Delivery Service was surprisingly well done. It wasn't perfect, but they didn't ruin it. And I have both the sub and dub versions.

**Chibi Kageboshi** · 02-09-2002, 03:00 PM

showin new Digimon episodes and Medabot episodes would be the smartest thing ABC Family could do...

It's been a while since I've drawn him, but the basic idea was this: brunette, with hair texture a combination of Ken's smoothness and Daisuke's spikiness. Light-skinned like Ken and goggles like Daisuke.

And while I'm on the subject... Doesn't the little kid in Frontier look like a hybrid of "Tracey Sketchit" and "TK" auditioning for Newsies?

THAT'S who that little kid reminded me of.....Season 1 Takeru!!! I was trying to think of who he reminded me of ever since I first saw that pic. I guess I just forgot of season 1 Digimon(I loved 02 more, Mimi with an orange afro and Pink hair was so cute!)

**Deltamon** · 02-09-2002, 10:44 PM

Ok, first of all, I was NOT dissing Junpei! If anything, he's a fresh breath of air from all those thin-as-swizzle stick kids that Digimon's desiners have a disturbing tendency to do.

Second, um, ABC Family still airs Monster Rancher, and there IS the whole thing of Digimon and Power Rangers (Wild Force, I assume) Joining the Marvel block that's coming...June/July, was it? Not sure.

So maybe if we're REALLY good and lucky, we'll get Frontier here.

"Power Rangers," "Digimon" and the Marvel shows premiere in March on ABC Family. There's a strong possibility that new episodes will air on ABC Family in the fall.

Is it also a strong possibility that Disney realizes how popular these shows are(Power Rangers, Digimon) and might decide to release them to DVD, with Japanese episodes included(subbed).

Just wishful......extremely wishful thinking!

Where can I find more info?
