Design[]
Citramon is an English dub-based redesign of BomberNanimon, who appeared as an antagonist in Digimon Data Squad, "A Birthday Kristy Will Never Forget!" [07]. To avoid references to bombs blowing up amusement parks, Disney ordered Jeff Nimoy to either revise the character or cut the episode entirely, and as the episode was important to Thomas H. Norstein's character development, they decided to revise the character into a fruit monster.
On February 1, 2022, Nimoy stated that he wanted to name it "Tangerinemon" (from Tangerine), though Toei didn't like the name and chose "Citramon" instead. He also further clarified that he and the dub producers wouldn't have been happy about the staff being forced to work on one less episode which lead to producer Rita Majkut coming up with the idea to change the design.[1]
