Let it be known that dual-wielding handguns is badass. Doing so while also being some sort of biker devil is extra badass. And being a conflicted angsty sumbitch obviously adds a final layer of badassery that makes Beelzemon my favorite actual character in all of Digimon. I may like a few other designs better, but they're not really characters like this guy is.
Look, if you weren't around for it, I don't know how much the story of Impmon would resonate with you, but the long-and-short of it is that he was mistreated by his trainer, and grew to hate humans. He also resented the other Digimon, who could digivolve and were strong. He acted like Meowth at first, just being a petty nuisance, but one time tried to step up and seriously fight an Evil Digimon, and got beat within an inch of his life. So when he was offered power, he took it. But the power went to his head, and he started enacting revenge on those he despised, even killing Leomon. But after some heartfelt words by Leomon's trainer, Beelzemon had a change of heart and basically left to go die in a ditch for his sins. However, that wasn't the end of him, and eventually he came to reconciliation with his trainers, and everyone else he had wronged and been jealous of. So he showed up to help the heroes out in the final battle, and I'm not crying I swear.
As a final note, I just wanna say that the cords plugged into his back are such a neat, pointless little detail.

ReplyDeleteSee why I don't find Digimon interesting? Some of them are just... people. With some weird features like tails or horns but still just a regular human. What is this, Star Trek?
