A lot of new Digimon came out in the gaps between some of my most recent reviews, and still more have come out in the gap between the very last and just now. Some of these even turned out to have complete, thematic evolution lines that were only revealed to us over the course of an entire year or more, and in the end, there's not a single shred of hope for me to review them in any meaningful order, so I won't try. Let's just dive back in by looking at the brand new evolutions for Renamon, whose original "default" evolutions looked like this, if you need the refresher:

Sekkamon is a virus-type, ice-elemental alternative to Kyubimon, and it's honestly a lot nicer looking. Besides trading the gold coloration for a winter coat, it drops the yin-yangs and ropes and other inorganic accessories for just a set of small, subtle ribbons tied around its ankles. It's otherwise almost entirely "naturalistic," except for the purple eye makeup and the emo bangs spilling over its face.

Continuing the classic pattern, the non-anthropomorphic fox monster evolves into an anthropomorphic fox monster. Wielding a bow and arrows made of ice, Tenkomon wears a blue snowflake-patterned robe, the upper half of a porcelain mask over its eyes, and pulls most of its hair into a ponytail. Nicely designed for what it is, and in my opinion, also better looking than its classic alternative in pretty much every regard, from color scheme to underlying anatomy.

I'm sure this Ultimate would be kind of divisive to die-hard fans of Renamon and Fox-type critters, since its central form now resembles a human woman, but there are several reasons Yukinamon is actually very cool, and makes a perfectly logical endgame for any fox-themed monster. A human lady disguise is the classic Fox Yokai scam, and this one even doubles as another famous yokai, the ghostly "snow woman" Yuki-onna. The jagged ice crystal mask fully covering her eyes would look cool in any context, but here it adds a single Digimon design trope to what could otherwise pass for any Yuki-onna, and then of course there's the fact that a huge, vaporous fox-ghost is encircling her anyway, a rad looking monster design in its own right with a limbless, serpentine flame shape and four narrow, solid blue eyes.

There isn't an official profile up for this one yet, but I'm going to speculate that the ghost-fox represents the real Digimon, manifesting the physical body from ice. Even if that's not the case, I'm still a slightly bigger fan of yokai fables than I am of Renamon, so I'm counting this as a solid upgrade all around. Since the Renamon line was originally Data type, I guess they're also kind of its new go-to "dark" evolution path.
