Talk:Spirits

Is "Flame" retconned to "Fire"? I know the first episode uses "Flame", but I haven't gone back to check the other mentions, since it would take forever. 18:02, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I know for the most part it was "Flame" but I think maybe 2 episodes used "Fire".Ozu Miyuki 01:39, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Spirits of Darkness
I´m not sure, but when the spirits of darkness were purified, Duskmons spirit became Jägerloewemons spirit and Velgrmons spirit became Loewemons (H became K, and B became L)? --80.226.211.87 18:01, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Duskmon became Loewemon and Velgemon became JagerLoewemon. Human to Human, Beast to Beast. Lanate (talk) 23:34, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't Duskmon and Velgemon's Spirits be D Spirit of Darkness and V Spirit of Darkness respectively since Loweemon and JagerLoweemon are L Spirit of Darkness and J/K Spirit of Darkness respectively? Chimera-gui (talk) 04:18, March 8, 2017 (UTC)

Kana and Spirit Symbols
I've just noticed something while I was watching the Japanese version and I'm sure it also applies to the English version. I was watching Episode 11, when Grumblemon/Grottomon took Tommy's/Tomoki's human spirit, the symbol of Ice appeared in his hand. I was curious about Kumamon's/Chakumon's attacks, so I looked up Tommy's page. Then, I spotted the kana for Ice and it looked very similar to the symbol of Ice. I double checked this with Fire and it's also very similar. Should we mention this? Why are all the DigiDestined leaders  boys?!  13:40, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just double checked Thunder, Wind and Light. The kana for all them is also similar to the spirit symbols. Can't really make out darkness and the other 4 don't have their elements stated, meaning that we can't be sure about them. But the five DigiDestined all have kana similar to their spirit symbols. I was thinking that we could mention this. Why are all the  DigiDestined leaders  boys?!  13:53, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, that's not new information. The symbols are a bit stylized, yes, but they are the kanji. Lanate (talk) 15:20, April 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've noticed that the marks for each of the spirits are not listed in the article. As per the above notes, I believe that the marks should be listed with each spirit along with a description of the kanji is is derived from. Does anyone have this information already, or would the images/information have to be sourced/created? Jaguar83 (talk) 04:34, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * The article can definitely mention the kanji they are based on, but I don't think we have any clean images of the symbols themselves. 13:22, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * What about this one, or even better another one that I found in the Italian Digimon wiki? --Charles.929 (talk) 17:26, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * The artist that made them is an admin for the Italian wiki so I've them to upload the symbols here. I'm hoping to get a response soon. Chimera-gui (talk) 18:27, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * IIRC, didn't Digimon Masters use the symbols for elements at one point? Lanate (talk) 18:39, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't know they appeared in Masters until I found this but it seems that Steel and Darkness got mixed up and the actual sprites are very small which doesn't us any good. Chimera-gui (talk) 19:58, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * I've looked through the images extracted from Masters and this is all I've found. As stated, they're quite small; the whole image is only 384x303. Jaguar83 (talk) 00:03, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I could go though the 3d models and take them from the textures if that would be acceptable. Jaguar83 (talk) 00:14, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I just went through the NIF files and found the spirit evolution animations, including this embedded image! This image is from an official game, so is this official enough? There is one for each spirit. Jaguar83 (talk) 00:25, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to get them as transparent pngs? Chimera-gui (talk) 00:43, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * They are DDS files, so I'd just need to convert them to PNG. Easily done. Jaguar83 (talk) 01:01, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Let me have a look at the pngs once you finish converting them so I see if they can be uploaded. Chimera-gui (talk) 19:01, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Here are all of the marks. Individually, they are each 256x256.Jaguar83 (talk) 20:18, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, Imgur screws them up. I'm just going to upload them under the Fan namespace for now, and, if approved they can just be moved. Jaguar83 (talk) 23:22, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Images are uploaded under the prefix "proposed" Proposed Spirit Marks Jaguar83 (talk) 23:40, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking good, all that's need is to rename them and give them proper descriptions. How about this:

Symbol of ripped by Jaguar83.


 * With image name as Symbol of .png? Chimera-gui (talk) 23:53, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. I shall do so Jaguar83 (talk) 00:05, October 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * No need, I'll move them once the other give their approval. Chimera-gui (talk) 00:11, October 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't have permissions to rename files, so I cant anyway. I've updated the descriptions, though. Jaguar83 (talk) 00:13, October 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Good, I can rename them after the others have given their thoughts. Chimera-gui (talk) 00:15, October 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * If they're fanart, they're fanart. 20:38, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm the admin from the Italian wiki. I've just read Chimera-gui's request in my talk page and I can upload the Spirit symbols right now, if you want to use them. Patamon-23 (talk) 21:54, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Frontier has carvings of all ten in the third episode: File:4-03 Element Carvings.png. The eyecatches provides clear pictures for the protagonists, but that wouldn't cover all of them. They kind of appear in episode 35 when Cherubimon steals them, but the symbols are washed out. Lanate (talk) 02:50, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

Other Spirits
Should Hyper Spirit of Flame and Hyper Spirit of Light, and the D-Scanner V-Pet-only Susanoomon Spirit be mentioned anywhere on this page? According to that guy's research, the Hyper Spirits are official but never appeared on the series. 15:41, February2, 2012 (UTC)
 * If that's the ones from the Susanoomon toys, yes. However, they should be treated like the extra DigiEggs. They're basically toy-only matchmakes, rather than intended subjects for the fiction. 16:56, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Beast Spirits = Ten Warriors resemblence
Anyone else realise how similar the B(east) Spirits look in comparison to the Ten Legendary Warriors??? :/ For example: BurningGreymon looks kinda like a bipedal version of AncientGreymon. --Ethanthegamer (talk) 18:33, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's intentional. The Fire, Light, and Darkness warriors are made out of pieces of their respective Ancient, while the other Ancients draw design inspiration from their Human and Beast Warriors. 22:23, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Fusion Spirits
Everyone has a Fusion Spirit Form and yet Takuya and Koji are the only to use them at all. What's the point of that? --Star Light123 (talk) 17:44, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Animation budgeting, mostly. 15:12, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Still, why mention the others at all?--Star Light123 (talk) 17:36, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Because the card game, v-pets, reference book, and other anime exist. The Spirits aren't solely plot artifacts of Digimon Fusion. 18:07, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Technically they're part of Frontier, at least these ones are.--Star Light123 (talk) 19:43, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * They're really, really not, tho. The article itself lists a few appearances in the video games, and that's not including the references in the official profiles or card games. 21:14, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

You make a valid point. Still, I think they should've shown more of this in the Series. It only seemes fair. But what do I know.--Star Light123 (talk) 23:59, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Toy Only?
EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon's Spirits are meant to be the Z Spirits of Fire and Light respectively in the D-Scanner 3.0 v-pet so they're technically not toy exclusive. Chimera-gui (talk) 04:12, February 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. 16:58, February 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps that section should be renamed accordingly. Chimera-gui (talk) 00:10, February 21, 2017 (UTC)
