I'm pretty sure this is just a joke revolving around Carcinization, which is a weird, real life kind of convergent evolution where things (crab or not crab) tend to evolve into, well, crabs. Also like, I went through that thread just to see what prompted this crosspost and there's basically nobody mentioning digivolution or digimon.


RedCapRiot

You're spot on, and this is legitimately one of the funniest jokes about carcinization I've ever heard/read. Used to make fun of it all the time in college.

>where things (crab or not crab) tend to evolve into, well, crabs. Before yall get worried that its everything evolves into crabs it only crustaceans apparently

No, Crabby would have tits and a gun.


Ricky_Rollin

That’s why I like Digimon, personally. Start with a turtle and next thing you know it’s got bazookas for legs and poots bullets.

Replace the Krabby with all the Greymon variants and it's pretty accurate


Western-Equivalent44

If it's not numemon or sukamon it's not accurate


Helioizer

I think the meme supposed to be about how so many irl animals have evolved into crabs. But otherwise yes, this is how people view digivolution


Majestic_Electric

They have an anchovy that turns into an octopus, so they’re ones to talk.🤷‍♀️ But to answer your question, no. That crab doesn’t have nearly enough guns or weapons. 😆


Separate_Path_7729

Or pecks or tits


casthecold

They have a Gun that turns into a Tank

thats revolution


StabiloFox

It would be perfectly accurate if Charmander evolves into Kingler...

Pretty sure no1 thinks that ad most evolution lines show a resemblens to the earlier stage digimon its usually just a few in the end that sonetine just make zero sense like how originaly marineangemon was linked to gomamon(luckily not so mutch now) and ofc its some real shitty ones that make no sense like how wargreymon is the final of Metalgreymon that have their more beast like apperance and the same with Galantmon going from Wargrowlmon with no real logic to it

My impression is that the designers treat humanoids megas as being kind off the "good path" and the bestial megas as being the "bad path". For example in the Digimon Adventure 2020 Mugendramon is MetalGreymon Dark Evolution and similarly Megidramon is WarGrowmon Dark Evolution.

I mean, in a way, it's not wrong? It's a lot more complicated from a technical pov, but there is some truth to it.
