Talk:Grappu Leomon

Translation

Translation for the description in Japanese.

A wrestling Beast Man Digimon that took in the data of many wrestling games, it crushes its enemies with an original secret technique. Phantasmagoric techniques are drawn out by making the turbines in both its arms and legs rotate at high-velocity, but since the turbines spin by blowing in the fighting spirit emitted from the Digicore all at once, it cannot be maintained with average perseverance. Exactly because it is Grappuleomon, which inherited the data of the “King of Beasts” Leomon, with its strong feelings towards righteousness that the high-speed rotation of the turbines reaches supremacy. Special Moves are making the turbine in the arm rotate until its limit to create pressure that bends gravity itself and pounding in a single strike (Shishiju Hazan), and an ultimate barrage of spinning kicks where the whole body is rotated (Senpu Turbine Keri).

Design inspiration

"Grappu Leomon appears to be based on Dendoh, the main mecha from the anime Gear Fighter Dendoh, with the most striking similarity between the two being the turbines located on the arms and legs of both characters."

I can definitely see the similarities here, apart from color scheme. So, this part seems okay, although the profile highlights a connection to fighting games, not anime.

"This is further reinforced in the October 2025 post on Digimon Web."

This is an argumentative tone -- it's written as if it's pleading to the reader, rather than simply stating facts.

"In the published image, the name of one of the techniques used by Grappu Leomon appears at the bottom of the illustration, in a manner extremely similar to certain scenes in Gear Fighter Dendoh, in which the name of one of the techniques used by Dendoh appears on the screen after it performs them."

This is an extremely common way to illustrate special moves. I don't think it serves as evidence here at all, unless we can find a screenshot of the anime where it uses the exact same font or some other idiosyncrasy that differentiates it from the great morass.

"The pose Grappu Leomon is doing in the illustration also resembles some of Dendoh's poses."

Without a link to a photo, I don't think this helps. It's a pretty common pose.

"It’s also worth noting that the illustration’s release date (October 2025) coincides with the premiere of the first episode of Gear Fighter Dendoh in Japan, which aired on October 4, 2000."

It's never not "worth noting" something on a wiki, or it shouldn't be on the wiki to begin with. This is also a huge reach -- there's twelve months in a year. This is really weak evidence.

Unless examples are provided, I think the section should be trimmed down to the first sentence.KrytenKoro06 (talk) 07:54, 29 September 2026 (CDT)
