The long-awaited personal take on a TWEWY-Digimon crossover is complete T3T/
Keep reading if you like headcanons and text!
(TWEWY spoilers inbound):
The wolrd/AU follows alongside the TWEWY story with minor changes:
- Players are partnered with a Digimon, not other players. Though, groups sticking and working together helps (as Shiki says in W1)
- If the human or Digimon in a team is erased, they other will also cease to exist in several minutes. No Digimon nursery/rebirth or data downloading.
- As a Player has personal growth, their Digimon will show equal in growth and digivolve into higher stages.
- Digimon are In-training on Day 1 and outside of battles but automatically digivolve to at least Rookie when the battle initiates. In rare instances, some humans have Digimon higher than Rookie stage.
- Where player’s prize for winning the Game is a second chance at life, Digimon have a chance at reincarnation into the human world, in a form of their choice.
- Noise are mindless Digimon with tribal markings and appendages.
Neku and Monodramon:
Evo line: Monodramon > Strikedramon > Cyberdramon > Justimon
- Since Neku is our lovely protagonist, he gets the coveted dino/dragon Digimon. This was an amazingly hard choice to make (At first I wanted to go with Impmon, but ultimately I decided it suits Beat better). I did like the idea of Neku having rough, violent looking digis up until Mega, then showcasing a change of heart via the look of the final evo.
- During the last day of W3, Justimon appears, a stark contrast in look and personality compared to prior forms. Justimon represents Neku’s final growth as a person, with a less aggressive shell but strong sense of justice for the friends he’s made, people he’s helped and a world he promised to get back to.
- Notably, Neku’s Digimon is the only one that doesn’t have a set of wings in Mega. Let’s say It represents his stubbornness to not accept death, even when he was forced into the UG over and over.
- It’s not surprising that Neku does NOT like this little, chubby purple creature that keeps following him around at the start of W1. It’s Shiki that helps convince Neku they have to work together (they still meet on D1W1. She and BlackGatomon saved Neku and Monodramon’s collective butts). Sloooowly, Neku and his digimon’s relationship betters and by the end they are 100% in sync.
Shiki and BlackGatomon (Mr.Mew)
Evo line: Salamon > BlackGatomon > LadyDevimon/Angewomon > Mastemon
- In contrast to Neku, Shiki’s Digimon was a painfully easy choice, lol. She always refers to her Digi as Mr. Mew as well, as they surprisingly resemble a stuffed animal she had when she was alive. In reality, her digimon IS her stuffed animal (thanks to data collection on the digimon’s part, it knows and understands Shiki). It’s one of the reasons that Mr.Mew is a champion level when they first meet. Mr.Mew only ever devolves to Salamon after Shiki’s first encounter with Higashizawa in W1.
- Mr.Mew’s evo line is the only one that doesn’t follow ‘traditional’ evolution. The first time they go to Ultimate, the evolve to LadyDevimon; representative of Shiki’s still inner turmoil. When facing Higashizawa on D7, they slide evolve to Angewomon; representing her accepting herself (This is one of the reasons she is the winner of the Game in W1). In the final battle, the two evolutions combine to make Mastemon (I recommend looking at a pic of this digi because wow <3 ).
Joshua and Lopmon
Evo line: Lopmon/Lopmon X > Cherubimon (Good) X
- I knew knew knew Josh had to get Cherubimon as his Mega. Where most of the other’s Digimon Megas have somewhat seemingly human forms, Churubimon looks out of place as this massive pink bunny with winged ears, indicative that Joshua isn’t human like other players. Cherubimon X looks even more alien and ethereal (seriously, google it. The floating notes/digicode is perfect imo).
- As part of Joshua’s deal with Kitaniji, he took a handicap and his powers were lessened, which made Cherubimon X a Lopmon. His Digimon appears as a regular Lopmon when meeting Neku for the first time, which helped mask his identity and assume his role as a regular player. However, Neku will soon notice that Lopmon never digivolves higher than Rookie (whereas his own Digimon was steadily evolving to Champion level).
- When Joshua reveals his innate power in W2D5, his seemingly regular Lopmon transforms to Lopmon X. X-antibody Digimon are unheard of, and much stronger than their base-level counterparts (I tease at this in the image by giving Johua’s Lopmon a fluffy tail, which regular Lopmon don’t have. If anyone questions it, Joshua would explain how its a clip-on and looks much cuter than the stubby tail, lol).
- Cherubimon X is only ever revealed right at the end of the final battle, when Neku and Joshua face each other. Joshua dares Neku into killing him, but Neku can’t bring himself to command Justimon to do it. Cherubimon X then attacks both Neku and his Partner.
Beat and Impmon
Evo line: Impmon > Meramon > SkullMeramon > Beelzemon
- Pairing Impmon and Beat just felt natural. They both share an innate need to be badass but are also unwittingly dense and easily embarrassed. They constantly bicker with each other but when it’s time to fight, they can’t wait to get in there and show what they’re made of.
- On W1D3, Rhyme still sacrifices herself to save Beat (he knew Rhyme was his sister from the start so he and Impmon stuck around her and her partner). Although Beat didnt get erased, he still made the choice to become a Reaper.
- When Rhyme gets erased, it sees a shift in Beat’s motivations and personality, which naturally affects Impmon. Impmon permanently evolves to SkullMeramon and is mindless fighting machine during W2, just operating off Beat’s whim. When Neku gives him Rhyme’s pendant, both Beat and his Digimon soften up.
- As a reaper, Impmon could evolve and stay at Ultimate level without issue. When Beat rejoins Neku in W3, he loses that ability and his Digi has to start from square one; In-training level. Impmon (or Yaamon, in this case) wasn’t too happy. Eventually, Impmon gets back to comfortably sitting at Rookie during W3.
- W3D7, at the dead god’s pad, (when facing Kitaniji and Shiki) with Beat’s resolve and growth, Impmon evolves right into Beelzemon (indicative of how Beat wants to become more capable and help people he cares about while looking awesome), saving Neku. Beelzemon also helps Neku, his Partner and the other Player’s Digimon to take on Kitaniji’s final form.
Rhyme and Kudamon
Evo line: Kudamon > [ERROR]
- Kudamon have cool, collected personalities and can conduct precise assessments, even during battle. For this reason I really liked it for Rhyme’s partner. It’s the most pleasing choice close to squirrel-shaped! I liked this version of Kudamon in particular as well (vs the 2006 anime version), since the markings on it were very Noise-like!
- When Rhyme sacrifices herself for Beat in W1D3, Kudamon is at risk of being deleted. As a counter, Mr.H binds Rhyme’s soul to the Digimon, keeping it alive (although Rhyme couldn’t speak through Kudamon, the Digimon could feel her emotions and hear her thoughts).
- During Beat’s Reaper stint, Kudamon was with him, but no matter what they said, Beat wouldn’t break away his focus. He loosens up eventually and can take Kudamon’s words to heart.
- Kudamon accompanies Neku, Beat and their partners through W3, and does get captured by Konishi on D1.
- Although Kudamon never evolves (or devolves) beyond Rookie, they do help immensely during the battle with Konishi on W3D7. They are at the final battle as well.
And that’s all for now. Thank you for reading all of that >v<’‘‘\
Hope you enjoyed!! Give me you headcanons and ponders if you like!
Maybe someday I’ll get to the Reapers..... ‘‘‘OTL
- Some Yu-Gi-Oh! TWEWY crossover sprites! Featuring a possible reaper Atem AU? ^u^
This was a pretty fun project that sapped the life out of me for three days ;_; But it was definitely worth it even though there are some mistakes in the way I handled the style ^^”
- I’m still sharing the stuff I’d already made! But I’m almost done! Bear with me!!
Wait so does that make Hanekoma Toriel? Kitaniji Asgore? EIJI OJI METTATON????
You got it! ;D
Toriel Hanekoma meets Neku in the Ruins and helps him understand monsters aren't so bad and maybe if he trusted them a bit, he could get through a seemingly impassable challanges. Instead of a Queen, he's more like a "right hand man" to the king, but disputes with the current ruler made him break away from politics. Also, he makes some mean boulliabasse and coffee (which, yes, he almost gave caffeine to a kid).
Asgore Kitaniji is the current king of the Underground. He wants to free monsters by taking the souls of humans that fell. He fears the prophecy of an angel of death coming to destroy them all but is also blind to what his people truly need. He is one of the few able to hear the sound of souls. His headphones symbolize his golden crown.
The Deltapin is the emblem of the royal family. It sits on the backs of Mr.H's, Joshua's and Kitaniji's clothes.
Now, I knew I wanted Mettaton to be a combination of Mr.Mew, since Shiki-Alphys was the one that made him. But you gave me the image of Eiji Oji being Mattaton EX and it's faBULOUSLY BRILLIANT
MettaMew is the resident celeb and social media influencer who runs the most famous blog in the Underground (it gets 13+ hits daily!). How does this thing move on it's own again...? Anyway, it somehow got programmed to catch humans as well, which they do no not love but hey, that's showbiz!
MettaMew EF is the fabulous upgrade that Shiki has been working on to suit MettaMew's more... flamboyant tastes. It's pretty embarrassing, to be honest;;;
Mettamew's personality is that of Eiji, and when they speak, it's robotic and monotone, even if the context it joyous. MettaMew EF is more natural and flamboyant, sounding less digital. (If you've seen Jacksepticeye's version/voices for Mettaton, it's close to that.)
Had you thought of revised TWEWYtale? Like Frisk playing as Neku, Sans as Rhyme and what not?
Oh?
Oh! Ohhhhhhhh~
....o-oh.
Oh no.
SAD PAPYRUS NOISES.
Lol it's entertaining to think about for sure. That means Toriel is CAT and sells coffee?? Coffee and pies! And Asgore is the Conductor and trying to appease the Composer, who would be his son. Awww, Alphys looking like Undyne and being all happy and shy but also ashamed because self deprication?? Aaand Sans explaining memes.
