Piedmon steals tags and crests...
Piedmon stole all the eight tags and crests, so if he had given them all to Devimon, Kari's Crest of Light should also be on Server and her tag in the Net Ocean, but that wasn't the case. Myotismon got the tag and crest, and because of that, he could make sure the DigiDestined would never come together, and because they had to fight him the real world, the Dark Masters could take over the Digital World. This was of great use to the Dark Masters, so there is a big chance Piedmon gave Kari's tag and crest to Myotismon, since he also got the castle that Piedmon had conquered upon Gennai. The only other way Myotismon could have gained Kari's tag and crest was by stealing them from Devimon - something that was never even implied. I think since there is also no proof for Piedmon giving the tags and crests to Devimon, the article should just say that he gave all the tags and crests to Devimon, except those of Kari who he gave to Myotismon together with Gennai's castle.--193.173.63.179 11:49, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I had to make a few corrections to your comment to make it more... readable. But I think you've raised an interesting point. Maybe Piedmon knew that Gatomon had been separated from the other Digimon too, giving him a reason to single out Kari's tag and crest from the others. THB  → Talk ← 21:12, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Sovereign
This is pretty miraculous of how the Dark Masters had managed to defeat the Digimon Sovereign. I mean, in Digimon Tamers, they managed to defeat the Tamers, and in Adventure 02, Azulongmon barely did anything and still harmed BlackWarGreymon. How the Dark Masters managed to defeat them is almost entirely impossible. Of course, Apocalymon may have powered them to some extent. But still, the Sovereign have several DigiCores while the Dark Masters at least have one. Can anyone care to explain?

Four Horsemen?
"Considering that their creator, Apocalymon, is a reference to the Biblical Apocalypse, it may be that the Dark Masters are also a reference to the Four Horsemen: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death." I'm putting that over here in case someone finally can prove whether or not it's true.  King Nothing  Speak now, vermin! 12:50, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll look for a source, though I doubt we'll find one. On a non-wiki note, I bet:


 * Death: Piedmon
 * Pestilence: Puppetmon (from corrupted/ing forest theme)
 * War: Machinedramon
 * Famine: MetalSeadramon (ocean area is not food-producing, I guess)

 * Piedmon and Machinedramon are very believeable, and Puppetmon could also fit in, but I don't know about MetalSeadramon as Famine. The group went fishing in MetalSeadramon's ocean, so that kind of contradicts that possibility. He also rewarded Scorpiomon a pile of clams. THB  → Talk ← 20:45, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess I could see it, but THB brings up a good point. Regardless, the Four Horsemen are a common theme in video games (Fire Emblem has them, Final Fantasy has them etc etc), and Digimon Adventure was basically a video game (in anime form) Rad140 I praise myself on being the last one to post in all three of our forums.

In the Metallica song, "The Four Horsemen", they changed "War" to "Time". If we change Famine to Time, then it could maybe work. Or else Machinedramon and MetalSeadramon switch roles (Machinedramon being a totalitarian ruler, I can totally see him rationing food to the point of obsessiveness..)

While matching MetalSeadramon with Famine is a bit of a stretch I still love this idea of the Dark Master corresponding to the Biblical Horsemen. I can't believe I'd never thought of it before. Bransrubar 04:49, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I just had another thought on the Metallica note. In their song, the Four Horsemen are Time, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. If we use that, then here's an alternate lineup:

MetalSeadramon -> Time (the ocean would, geologically speaking, change the least over millions of years) Puppetmon -> Pestilence Machinedramon -> Famine (while he fits better as War, he could also be Famine if you think about it. After all, he and his subjects are machines, so they don't exactly need to eat) Piedmon -> Death
