#proximamon

I imagine if it was a fusion of the three and if the idea still carried some of Frontier's design Philosophy, the fusion would be like, Proximamon meets Agnimon, though I put the blue bandana wings back because I feel it is important to the design (at least to me it is...) and the rest of the cast would be left wondering if that is a fusion like they are or just a Digimon acting as the arena's muscle. I mentioned comparing it to Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked, The Hiro-Gammax2 permafusion would be like the Ace Hardlight character who seemingly works for the arena. Because the first act is more of a tournament fighter loaded with characters to meet, but only so many become part of the 'main cast', when they escape at the end of the first arc they end up leaving a lot of the friends they made behind in the arena and at least 1 'main cast member' gets left behind for betrayal drama reasons. Optionally Team Hiro could either be broken of the permafusion and in an attempt to escape Gulus is left behind, allowing Hiro and Gammamon to join the Main cast as a sixth ranger while also disempowering them of their Proximamon form having lost Gulus, OR alternatively the Proximamon permafusion is sent by the arena owners to retrieve the escapees and hunt them down, eventually leading to the unfusing. I dunno which sounds cooler while also not just making i the Hiro show. Because I am bias.

I wish I was living for it. I love stories about being forced into gladiatory arena combat against ones will but it's unfortunately in the category of "Things I like and would consume like it's bacon bits but don't think I could properly execute personally" :<

As much as I like the "Destiny giving you a partner digimon" something I liked about Digimon Tamers and Ghost Game was that to an extent everyone chose their partners, and that made their bond feel like a different kind of strong than soulmate partners. Not that I like one more than the other in reference to digimon but the idea of one of the arena's employed kidnappers seeing that they could be something more and attempting to woo their way into it sounds so much fun, like how Piedmon in Survive could manipulate, mansplain, or manwhore his way to get what he wanted.

My sense of digimon height is kinda spoiled by having played far too much digimon world games where the mon have to be "reasonable" in size for the hardware to handle, but I am a huge fan of

Kaiju levels of size. A bit of a shame because all the Ghost Game megas have kinda a Wargreymon size feel to them all without one being a huuuuuuge kaiju.
