0:00 they are one of the most iconic villains in the Digimon Universe metal camon Pimon mugendramon and pamon known as the Dark Masters are four ultimate level Digimon created by apocalymon to help him conquer the digital world they are his four Riders of the [Music] Apocalypse in Digimon Adventure anime we are introduced with the Dark Masters towards the end of the series as a Prelude to the final boss apocalymon but as we learned from the Digimon Adventure film which aired on TV one day before the first episode of the series and from the novel that complements the story with more lore the history of the Dark Masters is much more complex if you wants to learn more about old theore from the adventure novel I covered it in

0:46 a video linked below before the events of the Digimon Adventure anime a single dig egg flew through the gate of the digital world into the human world in an unexpected isolated incident the dag hatched into botamon who evolved to coron then Agumon then Greymon a young girl called Hikari Yagami caused this rapid Evolution she and her brother taii were the first humans botamon came into contact with when he came to the human world homeostasis a Godlike entity that keeps the balance between good and evil in the digital world didn't know what caused this rapid Evolution homostasis sent paraton to retrieve Greymon from the human world and also scanned the data of Hikari and taii and all the humans who witnessed the battle between graymon and parmon the humans it scanned would later become the eight chosen children four years passed since the

1:32 Battle of Greymon and parmon in the human world but several thousand years passed in the digital world during that time Digimon started forming special bonds with children from the human world achieving rapid Evolution through the special qualities of the child's heart this gave them an advantage over other Digimon in the digital world an opposing idea started taking form in the digital world which rejected Evolution and the need for change it had a special Grudge with the chosen children because they made Digimon evolve faster and easier while other Digimon had to struggle to evolve or even die without achieving Evolution when a digimon dies they are reborn in the village of Beginnings this anti-evolution idea took data from the village of beginnings and extracted regret from Digimon who died trying to evolve it used that data to form its physical body becoming apocalymon his

2:19 existence caused a crisis in the digital world and distorted its fabric causing time to flow faster than in the human world homostasis called five children to the digital world to help with the apocalymon crisis these were the oral five who traveled to the digital world before the eight we know from Digimon Adventure two of them were called Maki and Dao but we don't know the names of the other three these five children and their Digimon fought apocalymon but the five of them were not enough to properly seal apocalymon four of the five chosen children's Digimon evolved into the four holy beasts given the role of protecting the digital world the fifth sacrified himself to give the others the power to evolve 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

3:06 Revelations apocalymon created the four Dark Masters to fight the four holy beasts he planted his anti- Evolution idea Into the Dark Master's Minds through the wall of fire for centuries in Digimon World time the Dark Masters battled the four holy beasts when their prospects of defeating the four holy beasts looked brighter the Dark Masters dispatched one of their subordinates deimon to file Island to start spreading Darkness throughout the digital world because of this equilibrium of the digital world lost its balance and the Dig vises flew towards the human world to bring the chosen children this is how Digimon Adventure began the Dark Masters first sent their subordinates to defeat the chosen children instead of dealing with the children themselves they used their TVs and telescopes to watch the children and people in the human world suffer feeding on their pain when the

3:52 children left F Island to battle vemon in the human world the Dark Masters finally sealed the four holy beasts maybe the chosen children kept the Dark Masters from sealing the holy beasts earlier so they did it when they left the ceiling was finally completed after many years when the children and their Digimon were not in the digital world jinglong man was the first one to be sealed by the hands of pamon once the holy beasts were all sealed and out of the picture the Dark Masters could start their plan the evil plan of the Dark Masters was to build a spiral Mountain modeled after its description from The Book of Revelations they used nanon to make a program that would build a mountain the program would divide all the data of the digital world into the elements of City for Forest ocean and darkness and reconstructed into separate areas that would each be ruled by a dark master manipulated by apocalymon the

4:39 Dark Masters didn't even realize that the creation of the Spiral Mountain would Rob the digital world of the concept of evolution the Dark Masters had to get rid of another major player in order to put their plan into motion an agent of homeostasis ganai Pon planted a black ball into young gai's back a mass of pure Darkness this black ball prevented Genai from moving around freely so he couldn't interfere with their plans Genai then hid at the bottom of temp plake to use it as a barrier that would prevent the black ball from activating while inside that barrier Genai came up with an idea to grow old and disable his body's regenerative function this way he could prevent the black ball from enlarging this black ball was the Prototype of the dark seed that became part of the plot for 02 having completed the spiral Mountain

5:25 each dark master controlled one of its areas metal cidon controlled the ocean Pinon the forest Mendon the city and Pon controlled to the darkness each dark master is unique in their personality and has a different strategy on how to defeat the chosen children and see through their plan till the end metal SE Dramon is a cyborg type sea serpent entirely covered in Ultra strong metal Chrome digizoid which repels all attacks he has the fastest movements among aquatic Digimon and has been remodeled as an underwater intercept Digimon metal cidron has the data attribute and belongs to the metal Empire and deep Savers Fields his special attack is the energy Cannon ultimate stream launched from the barrel on the

6:13 nose other attacks include poson divide Crunch and Hell squeeze metal seon's henchmen were called The Deep Savers and included yon and anomalo arimon each dark master is evil in their own way and each has their own area unchallenged by others each fought their battles with the chosen children on their territory which gave them the upper hand but metal camon only occasionally took the battle underwater had he known the children would be his end he could have stayed in the water making it much harder for the heroes to find and defeat him but he was probably the cockiest of the Dark Masters which led to his demise he's a fast Digimon

6:58 but he didn't rush in his pursuit to defeat the chosen children he thought defeating them was not a matter of if but when so he wanted to enjoy it metal sudon is the first dark master the children faced at the time when they still didn't have the confidence that they could achieve such a feat as defeating the Dark Masters but this is one of the brilliant messages of Digimon Adventure to keep going in the face of adversity and help will come along the way that help came to children in the form of Von whose selfless sacrifice opened the door for new Strength that the children found in Seeking Justice for their friend metal sudon was not only strong and cocky but a big sadist in the adventure novel which compliments the enime he didn't just kill Von he tortured him before delivering the finishing blow he shot energy beams from his nostrils that left

7:44 deep lacerations across Von's back then he used his Chrome digizoid tail to dig into his fresh wounds having realized their Digimon have become stronger and angered by the cruel killing of their friend who saved their lives the children put the stop to the first dark master with Von creating a diversion and sacrificing him self where graymon rammed through metal suman's body with his Brave tornado attack slashing him from the inside with his dammond Killers for metal seon's full Evolution line check out his video in the link below Pimon is based on a very old and very popular fictional story about a wooden puppet who dreamt of becoming a real boy if you compare the two you will find some very strong similarities Pinon

8:29 the dark master didn't really have a life on a high note he spent it looking for a friend but in the end he learned the hard truth all his life he was missing something but never found out what that was Pimon is obviously based on the story of Pinocchio a fictional character from an Italian story for children named The Adventures of Pinocchio published in 1883 its story revolves around mischievous Adventures of a puppet Pinocchio and his creator and father a poor wood car named japo unlike Pinon Pinocchio's story has a happy ending he his biggest wish to become a real boy comes true in the end and he is reunited with his father japo however like many famous fairy tales for children the story of Pinocchio was not supposed to have a happy ending before it was published as a book Pinocchio was a series of episodes that ran in a

9:17 magazine for children in chapter 15 Pinocchio was to be hanged for his innumerable faults but the Uproar from readers convinced the author to continue his story most of you probably know one of his biggest trademarks his nose growing when he lies which happened to Pimon in one episode of Digimon crossw Wars Pinocchio's name means Pine ey in Italian which means that he's definitely made of pinewood Pinon was created from wood to in this case from the cursed body of Jermon although he looks like a puppet he can act with his own will he has a bad personality and is a compulsive liar when a computer presents false information it is believed that Pinon had something to do with it Pinon has the virus attribute and belongs to the wind Guardians and jungle Troopers fields his special attack is stuffing a

11:36 chosen kids he chose Tako as his playmate this was probably because he had sociopathic tendencies and troubles making social contacts so he thought it would be the easiest to try to connect with the youngest in the group jmon warned him about facing the chosen children and their Digimon after witnessing an emotional moment between Yamato and gabumon jmon realized that Pinon doesn't have what he takes and he warned him about it but Pimon didn't want to admit that he has flaws so he lost his life in his stubborn Pursuit and never found out what it was that he was missing he was defeated by metal guron for pin noon's full Evolution line check out his video in the link below mandron is considered by many to
