Digimon Alphabet.

Fun!KrytenKoro06 21:40, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I knew this day would finally come! I'll help out! --Ainz 22:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The sad thing is, I can already tell it's not his bio, and that's really the only thing I was expecting it to be. It's not just the entire alphabet like in Savers, either. So we're looking at some ridiculous essay, which might not even be related to Digimon (for all we know, it could be the character designer's resume or two weeks notice).KrytenKoro06 22:44, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Added some more. Some ga may be ze, ke may be e, ra may be something else?KrytenKoro06 09:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Judging by the last two rows, I can't see any meaning. Do we want to even continue with this? Is there any way Wisemon appears in the Battle Terminal, with really high resolution?KrytenKoro06 02:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I might try and see what remaining characters I can find and if I can't, I'll probably just give up. If only there was a way of contacting Bandai about this... --Ainz ( talk 07:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

DigiLetter Script
After a 5-year "hiatus", below is an updated list of the DigiLetters of the first two pages. --Ainz ( talk 06:55, 26 August 2014 (CDT)

Issue: http://wikimon.net/File:Wisemon_collectors.png definitely shows different text from the other images. However, the other cards all seem to match.KrytenKoro06 (talk) 17:45, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Possible Japanese Transliteration
So, that's Genesis 1:1-5, with some fluff added at the beginning.KrytenKoro06 (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2014 (CDT)
 * Yep, I'm guessing that this is also a reference to the "Genesis of the Digital World" mentioned in a few profiles. --Ainz ( talk 20:19, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Translation notes

 * it literally treats the "Book" as a "totem" ("an item which represents or attracts a divine spirit"). I believe this is a reference to it astral projecting through the book.
 * I'm concerned about the "Node ha nai ka to Iwarete iru". My own custom and web searches indicate that it's simply a way of saying "it is said", but it seems like it should mean more.
 * I used "events", "objects" and "space-time" because those are the terms used within relativistic physics. If the Dr. Who bent proves true, then "spatiotemporal" is the term they use.
 * I also have the strong suspicion, based on the totem/spiritual vessel bit (like an avatar), its attacks, and the Akashic Records which AncientWisemon uses, that Wisemon has some Hindu basis. Is there a Hindu "Watcher" god?
