Talk:Digimon Universe Appli Monsters

From Wikimon

Compiling these here temporarily until I can figure out the kana and proper romanizations for everything. Images from the toy show are from here: https://fandramon.tumblr.com/post/145672912962/

List of New Digimon[edit]

Name - Romanization - Kana


    • Note: Times like this, Devkyu wishes they had an easier way to input kana than copy/pasting it.

Usage of the word "Super"[edit]

There appears to be a recurring theme of the word "super", either directly translated or a reference to "超" in some form or another:

  • Super (Grade)
  • Leviathan being a "Super AI"
  • Super Hacker
  • Torajirou's catchphrase
  • Choo Choo Energy Jelly (with choo being homophonous to chou)
  • Supermon - Super-grade Super app Appmon
  • Torajirou considering the Net Ocean as a "super cyberspace"
  • Super Applink/Super Gattai

Possible Character Name References[edit]

After reading this tweet, it's got me thinking whether there's some other possible references out there, with the AI stuff and all:

  • Haru 「ハル」 -> HAL 9000 「HAL(ハル)9000」
  • Yūjin 「勇仁(ユージン)」 -> Eugene Goostman 「ユージーン・グーツマン」
  • Eri 「エリ」 -> Eli -> ELIZA
  • Astra 「アストラ」 -> Astra
  • Ai 「アイ」 -> AI
  • Rei 「レイ」 -> Ray Kurzweil 「レイ・カーツワイル」 (as well as being a reference to binary code 「0/零(レイ)」, along with Hajime 「1/一(はじめ)」) 
  • Watson 「ワトソン」 -> IBM Watson 「ワトソン」

Also, Cloud = cloud computing. "Unryūji" also means "cloud dragon temple".
Arisu = A.L.I.C.E.. This is even more likely when you remember that Arisu is Eri's friend, while A.L.I.C.E. was inspired by ELIZA.
Erena = Helena, the name of two characters from R.U.R.. This one could be a coincidence, but is the best I could find, and R.U.R. literally invented the word "robot". Anime... PAWĀ!!! 22:12, 24 June 2017 (CDT)

YJ-14[edit]

Is it really accurate to label YJ-14/"Yujin Ozora" into the template navigation of Universe? In the manga, he's not even been revelead as being an AI.--Shadow Shinji (talk) 21:15, 31 August 2017 (CDT)
