12:20 children's Digimon evolved into the four holy beasts and were given the role of protecting the digital world jingon evolved from triceramon zamon evolved from hipogon shenon evolved from orochimon and Bon evolved from loer lamon who evolved from beon after they evolved the battle with the Dark Masters continued for centuries the events concerning apocalymon and the four holy beasts were recorded by the Digimon who lived at that time for future generations and this record is known as the Digimon Book of Revelations the Dark Masters sealed the four holy beasts one by one jingon was the first one to be sealed by the hands of pamon the Dark Masters could then start the program created by nanon to build the spiral Mountain according to the Book of Revelation ations Even After the Dark Masters were defeated the four holy beasts remained sealed the reason is

13:53 the Digimon to rapidly evolve the holy beasts feared that this would awaken the de Reaper a program whose purpose was to revert the world to nothing thingness in case it exceeds its maximum parameters however they disagreed on the strategy how to deal with this issue zamon believed that they should evolve Digimon to be strong and fight back while chingon believed that Digimon growth was why the de Reaper was created in the first place chingon transformed the evolution Catalyst into a form of a digimon kulon and sent him to the human world with a power of evolution gone from the digital world zamon sent his Deva to the human world to defeat humans in the end kulon released his power so the Digimon could devolve and the holy beasts led the army of those Digimon into a big battle against the the reaper as I mentioned earlier in the

14:38 video the four holy beasts Digimon are based on the four symbols from Asian mythology the four symbols are deeply rooted in the history of the Japanese city of Koto Koto which was the capital of Japan for more than a thousand years from the 8th until the 19th century has been protected by these four symbols since the ancient times the city was chosen for the capital because of its strategic position and Geographic Terrain in accordance with traditional Chinese Fang shui in Fang shui there is a notion that there are certain favorable Landscapes and geographic features to build a city an ideal location would have mountains in the north rivers in the East lakes or swamps in the South and a main road in the west Kyoto had all of this it was surrounded by the funa okama mountain in the North kamava River in the East ogur Lake in the South and the sindo road in the west

15:25 the city's Urban plan was built as a rectangular enclosure with a great pattern of streets that ran from from north to south and from east to west the modern day Koto still retains this street Grid in Digimon Adventure 02 sora's father explained to Mako why the four holy beasts appeared in Kyoto Kyoto is protected in the north by the black toris in the South by the Vermilion bird in the east by the azer dragon and in the west by the White Tiger the center of the city is protected by the golden kierin in Kyoto there are temples dedicated to each of these Guardian Spirits the azer dragon represents wood the rilion bird represents fire the the white tiger represents metal and the black tortoise represents water the fifth principal is Earth represented by the yellow dragon completing the four symbols the word for yellow in Chinese
