A new Digimon Movie would be released sometime later, and the director of the movie wanted a new Digimon to appear. This new Digimon was designed with the idea of an "Ultimate that is above Ultimate".

The next thread not only will take about the rise of the new strongest Digimon and how during years Bandai attempted to remove it from that place, only to place it back to that continuously year after year.

With the new "Digimon Pendulum" the Digital World would be expanded even more with a new place known as "Folder Continent", the previous toys would be explained as having taken place in the "File Island" and the Digimon from there were nothing compared to those from Folder.

Megadramon was created to be the perfect Hacker program, able to bypass any security and destroy systems with a single hit, even the ones with the highest security. It was the first of the mysterious remodeled to really be that hyped.

However, the true fall of the old "Strongest Digimon" would happen in the next big toyline, but before, a few different "Strongest Digimon" would appear in two Digimon games.

And over time, the fact that they were the strongest Digimon started to not matter anymore. Etemon is an odd exception due to how popular it was at that time and how it still is. Next evolutions seemed like Etemon trying to return to that past, but without really reaching there.

@SonicLorepost I suppose they got this from the time that they "mentioned" Sonic Advance 3 as Eggman using a Genesis Wave to split the world into pocket dimensions in Sonic Universe. Don't know if Ian got that before doing the issue, or was his own "understanding" that he put in both books.

Even with Monzaemon's concept still being used in the later "Digital Monster" versions, the change into the Home Console games would bring a different face for the strongest Digimon and more. But that is the content for my next thread.

And that makes the term "Perfect Body" and "Ultimate Body" have much more meaning in contrast to the first "evolutionary" levels that simply makes reference to natural growth.

That is why the localized terms such as "Baby" for "Childhood Period", "Child" for "Growth Period" and "Adult" for "Maturity Period" are a better representation of what those levels really are. They are just Digimon growing naturally from babies into adults.
