Talk:Demon

Demon's original V-pet profile is not identical to it's channel profile, though it seems to just be a rough draft. If anyone's interested, here it is.KrytenKoro06 21:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

すべての悪魔型、堕天使型デジモンを率いる魔王型デジモン もともとは天使型デジモンの最高位に位置するデジモンであったものが、デジタルワールドを構築した存在に反逆をくわだてて失敗し、ダークエリアに追放され魔王となった. いつかデジタルワールドを支配し、復讐をくわだてようとしている. また、『超究極体』を復活させようともくろんでいるようだが….

A Demon Lord Digimon that leads all of the Demon and Fallen Angel Digimon. It was originally an Angel Digimon of the highest rank, but because of a failed plot to rebel against the Digital World's creator, it was banished to the Dark Area. It will one day conquer the Digital World in revenge. Also, it plotted to secretly revive the "Super-Ultimate Digimon"...

SGDM
Does anyone know if the Demon of the Manga Adventure V-Tamer 01 is part of the Seven Great Demon Lords? I've been looking in the net and some pages consider in this way and some not. Thanks.
 * I don't know if the SGDL were ever mentioned in the V-Tamer manga, but the manga was rather close to its conclusion when the term was introduced (early 2003, I think). The two cards of V-Tamer Demon make no mention of them, either, though the unobtainable Demon's design in Digimon Story is that of the manga incarnation. But we don't treat them separately, anyway. --Grandy02 (talk) 11:10, 23 July 2013 (CDT)

Well, it may be a retcon, isn't it? Anyway it's not clear at all. What does the last part means? What things you don't treat separately? Sorry I've lost.
 * I just mean that we don't have separate pages for the design of Demon used in the manga and the one commonly seen in Bandai materials. On a side note, please sign your posts with --~ . --Grandy02 (talk) 02:00, 24 July 2013 (CDT)

Sorry for not signing, I'd forgotten. Now I've get what you meant about design of Demon. Paying attention on UlforceVeedramon case, for instance, they didn't use the same image as you can see in Bo-3v and. In addition, in the Xros Wars manga it is known that the UlforceVeedramon of the Royal Knights is the same as the Adventure V-Tamer one, despite RK debut as a group is after the events in V-Tamer (I think); it's an intesting topic :) Charles.929 (talk) 10:02, 24 July 2013 (CDT)

Name
Is there any chance that the attack "Algol's Flame" should be "Algor's Flame", as in algor mortis? I don't know what "Algol" is supposed to refer to.
 * Algol is a binary star in the constellation of Perseus which represents the head of Medusa. In traditional astrology it's said to have a wicked and violent influence, including decapitation. I tend to think that the concept of an evil star was what Bandai was going for. Elentir (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2017 (CST)
 * Yeah, Algol is known colloquially as the "Demon Star", the rest is self-explanatory. --Ainz ( talk 03:21, 25 February 2017 (CST)

Splitting into two pages
Digimon Jintrix is pretty explicit that theyre separate forms: https://wikimon.net/3-016 https://wikimon.net/1-103 and that also comes from the dub exclusive games masters, battle, and soul chaser. in addition dawn/dusk have both versions shows up, the "beast" version in the SGDL and the cloaked as raisable Muur (talk) 03:22, 13 May 2020 (CDT)
 * I would say no. Besides a different naming, there is really no solid evidence they are different species but more two different forms of the same species. For the record, Wikimon is not a dub oriented wiki. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 07:46, 13 May 2020 (CDT)

Dēmon
as it turns out, this digimon should not actually be Demon. The way the names are translated here, and elsewhere, are as Demon and Vamdemon but this actually now can cause issues in that the name implies it has Demon in it, but the name actually is Dēmon. Vamdemon actually has ヴァンデモン which doesnt have デーモン as its name is not Vamdēmon. similar issue with Bl-impmon and G-algomon not counting as Impmon and Algomon. none of this even came to mind until the new rulings for the english card game discounting this sort of stuff. i guess those would be something like Blimpumon and Alugomon. demon doesnt even give the correct pronunication of the digimon, since it would be pronounced daemon.Muur (talk) 14:52, 27 August 2023 (CDT)
 * Real life doesn't follow card game rules. Only an idiot would complain that we should change the spelling of the English words "carton" and "ton" because they contain the same three letters but have no relation in meaning. The spellings are fine as they are. (Oh, and before you point out that the word is "tonne" in British English, it can be done with any number of other word pairs.) --TMS (talk) 17:32, 27 August 2023 (EST)
 * i mean if bandai ever make a 'demon-species', vamdemon wouldnt count due to the aforementioned stuff. the issue with ton would only matter if the jp differed for a 'tonmon' and 'cartonmon'.Muur (talk) 18:28, 27 August 2023 (CDT)
 * That's something for the card game to figure out, if they decide to go that route. It isn't relevant outside of that context, where people might use a technicality to game the system. --TMS (talk) 10:10, 27 August 2023 (EST)
 * itd be relevant in lore too.Muur (talk) 19:42, 31 August 2023 (CDT)
