I was thinking about how some Digimon act like wild beasts while others
don't, and figured it must have something to do with their type. As I
thought, it appeared to me that the wild-like Digimon seemed to be mostly,
if not all, virus. In fact, I'd have to say that data and vaccine types
probably also have distinct behavioral patterns. This is probably what
Gennai meant about a Digimon's type affecting how it acts, but not dictating
if it's good or evil as we though.

Inferring from my virus obseravation, I made this... chart, I guess... that
could very well be correct.


Data

Data types are the more "civilised" of the three types. These Digimon tend
to band together, forming villages and tribes so they can work together
effectively. They could probably be considered cells in a living body,
especially if some Digimon specialize in different functions.


Virus

If Data-types are living body cells, then Virus-types are... well, viruses.
Virus-types are generally loners by nature and are ill-tempered and violent.
They probably don't want anything to do with each other, let alone Data and
Vaccine-types. However, it seems they can be brought together with the
promise of power, especially if their leader is particularly charismatic.


Vaccine

In medicine, a vaccine is serum made from dead and damaged viruses so that,
when injected into your body, your immune system will be able to recognize
the virus and put up a suitable defense for it.

Vaccine-type Digimon are probably similary related to Viruses. Vaccines
tend to keep to themselves and can be quite powerful, but unlike Viruses
they are somewhat friendly and prefer to help rather than destroy. In fact,
some Vaccines even train Digimon, such as Master Tyrannomon whose
description reads: "His tough training is proof you can trust him!"
http://www.megchan.com/digimon/encyclopedia/master_tyranomon.html
Vaccines will also band together for the common good in times of need.


This is just a theory, though. There are also Data types that seem to stray
away from others (Centarumon, Piximon) as well as Virus types that live in
villages (Otamamon, Gekomon, Mushroommon). Regardless of their behavior and
type, however, any Digimon (Data, Virus, or Vaccine) can be good or evil.

Gotta agree with that because pretty much all the villages are of data
types(such as that first one-the Yokomon village).

Which is probably why Ogremon had that 100% corny scene where he left the DD's
in 01...Actually the virus kinds just seem to be more(didn't want to say
it!)...WILD! And harder to control. Like Guilmon's descriptions, the virus
types are just more unpredictable and in general more chaotic(thus it'd be more
fun to hang around the virus kind than those other two boring kinds...).

To me the overall group of the vaccine types seems to be calm, easy-going, and
BORING! Saving the worlds' is the right the to do, but it gets old after
awhile...Basically all I see the average vaccine DD worry about is eating and
going to a higher level...And they're obsessed with fighting! Unlike virus
types-who are just more prone to fighting...The virus types are always acting
upon impulse, not constantly contemplating senseless ways to get stronger or to
win fights...

That was pretty much what I was trying to say.

Eh, I really didn't have much insight on Vaccines, which is what I thought
Centarumon was at the time I came up with that. I was thinking that a
Vaccine would be more like Samurai Jack, traveling about the world and
fighting injustice where ever it sprouts up.

You said:

"Virus-types are generally loners by nature and are ill-tempered and
violent."

I said they were wild, as in they'll do anything for a good time...

Samurai Jack has a life outside of fighting, it seems that most of the vaccine
Digimon have no lives outside of fighting or attacking(like Airdramon has a
habit of attacking anything that moves in 02...).

Well, when you put it that way I guess you did say something completely
different but I would've said that if I didn't think the general consensus
was that Viruses were evil anyway. Basically, neither explanation has them
on their best behavior.

Yeah, but most of Samurai Jack's life was training to be a fighter. I was
trying to suggest (or at least I'm saying now) that Vaccines would have a
life outside of fighting but not to the extent of the more peaceful Data
types. They're sworn warriors, but not mindless killing machines. Maybe a
better example is Goku. What does he know other than fighting? It doesn't
look like much to me, I'd have to say, but he's still a nice guy.

I guess our argument here is which are more prone to be mindless killing
machines: Viruses or Vaccines?

LOl.

>Yeah, but most of Samurai Jack's life was training to be a fighter.

Saving the world from an evil, omnipotent source of evil is worth something
like that though...

I forgot that they eat, sleep, and poo also...

Yeah, but 99.999999999999999999999% of his life revolves around fighting.
Intelligence(or rather like thereof in this case) isn't the issue, having a
life that doesn't revolve around fighting is...Unless I got mixed-up somewhere
around there...

>I guess our argument here is which are more prone to be mindless killing

IMO, the virus kinds like to blow stuff up and the vaccine kinds do nothing but
eat, sleep, poo, and fight. Well, the vaccine kinds aren't nearly as deep as
the virus kinds either, IMO.
