Our own special tin-hats
Since sometime in very late 2002, the game Brave Tamer came out and ZeedMillenniumon was revealed to be the final boss in it. The Digimon fandom wanks, as always, about name origins. The origins of this particular name were up in question, but someone named "The S" came out and said that it was actually "XeedMillenniumon" and was named after a character in the Book of Noga. Nogan mythology. Whatever. Okay! No one questioned this and it was generally accepted by all.

However, later down the line one college student sought actual references to this "Book of Noga" or anything having to do with Nogans in general (stubborn scientific curiosity, very annoying). It never turned up in various library searches, none of the archaeologists this person studied under had a clue, and eventually this person decides to go to the source of the Nogan rumor. Said person brings it up in a name origins thread and never receives an answer from The S, though later in the thread others pipe up to ask about this mysterious rumor. Still no answer from the originator. Subject is dropped.

Eventually someone decides to share with us a nifty tidbit, which eventually devolves to asking for name origins for other digimon. Cue wanking from the "Noganists." Jurei, an anima in a tree (or tree spirit if you like) as far as Japanese folklore is concerned, is now mysteriously from "Nogan Mythology." Later on in the thread we go from Noganism as a mythology to Nogan secret societies. Okay!

Time goes by, and it becomes painfully apparent that anything having to do with Ryo and/or Millenniumon (characters whose only starring role in Digimon was in a handful of Wonderswan games) will eventually devolve to "Noganism is a fraud/Noganism is REAL!" wanking. So it was only inevitable when a British fan has his Ryo backstory comic published and decides to share it with us. All's well and good until someone brings up the Xeed/Zeed things (though, there is a bit of kefluffle over the meaning of "koibito," which to you non-Japanese speakers means "lover" or "sweetheart"). Chaos erupts like a dozen fanboys whacking to Sora/Mimi porn. Then the Nogans are equated to Masons. I bet these people believe in mermen from Atlantis and little green men too.

Wank on, Digimon fandom, wank on!
