I’d always thought that Angemon was shirtless, and the only thing he was wearing aside from the helmet was a loincloth and boots, but I can see now that he is basically wearing a vacuum-sealed morphsuit in addition. I’d personally argue that Angewomon’s outfit was never intended to represent armor in any case(though I’m not sure what it WAS supposed to represent) oh, and at least Ophanimon’s evil form(Falldown mode) doesn’t have the belly window though if it directly translates it might have

the metal directly on skin problem

Yes, that’s exactly how it looks to me. Thank you for understanding that!

We got some replies from readers who didn’t seem to notice that there’s skin-colored part of Angemon’s face visible, which suggest he’s wearing a skin-tight white bodysuit all over.

I’d even be willing to reconsider, if not for Angewomon, whose design is obviously inspired by his. She definitely wears a strapless one-legged costume with random parts cut out to show her skin. Even her transformation sequence confirms:

So, considering Angemon is her male equivalent, same principle applies: the white stuff is skin-tight clothing, not the character’s skin.

TL;DR: Angemon is not shirtless.

As for her clothes not representing armor, we got that point covered here. As long as she fights looking like that, it counts as a bingo material 😉
Also, she’s wearing a helmet, so at least that part is supposed to imply protection.

And yeah, it’s kind of weird that the evil version of Ophanimon (Angewomon’s ultimate form) is the only fully-covered one. What a bizarre exception.
