Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: ''Possibly'' also has UsefulNotes/{{Autism}} just like Jeri does, but so far it's not confirmed in-story.

Seldom Seen Species is no longer a trope.


* SeldomSeenSpecies: Otamamon usually appears rather often in ''Digimon'', but its lesser known red PaletteSwap is typically a rare sight, since it hasn't even appeared in the anime and only once or twice was ever obtainable directly in the games.

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Sick and tired of the fact she hasn't been able to go home without feeling safe at all, she tries to confront her mother's BastardBoyfriend herself, only to be greeted with a SadisticChoice by the man in question. Either Ruki uses a Bronze Card which'll weaken the Digital World's barrier from being able to contain Brondramon, or she'll everything she loves robbed from her first with the planned murders of both her mother and grandmother. Considering Ruki had almost been killed by Darigus the prior chapter, and the fact Ruki had become increasingly desperate to have a chance to finally be back home, she more or less completely snapped with the wreck she's putting herself through as of Chapter 9.]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:Why she's behaving so violent; a man is in control of Ruki's digivice due to having stolen it, and Renamon isn't exactly being [[MindRape Mind Raped]] so much as having her aggression amplified UpToEleven, making herself the bigger threat towards Ruki and her family than the man with the stolen digivice ever could be on his own. The man promptly gives Renamon a SadisticChoice; either he increases her aggression to maximum to make her kill Ruki on a dime, or Renamon listens to his orders by nightfall and he'll simply ensure her aggression won't harm Ruki or her family.]]

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: In the author's note as well as all across Chapter 10 itself, nobody can identify the absurd accent he has, and even [[WordOfGod the author admits]] nobody, [[UpToEleven not even himself]], is supposed to make sense of [=MetalEtemon=]'s accent.

* MortonsFork: [[spoiler:Absorb biological materials earlier than normal but have no agents to defend you, or have the agents to defend you but no means of easily acquiring mass? It chose the latter but it would've have made a difference; Cobaldramon shows up in minutes flat and eats its core unit, and as we see latter when the various agents do finally show up, even if the likes of [=ADR-09=] was used, Cobaldramon's very ''[[UpToEleven teeth]]'' are made of Chrome Digizoid, so it would've pierced right through the barrier like tissue paper.]]

* ShownTheirWork: The reason he even has the Ulforce in him is because of a butchered left arm he had replaced with a seemingly random Digimon's left arm in which the remaining wounds rapidly healed and the VNA within the arm quickly entered the remainder of his entire body as well. Ulforce doubles as a healing agent in addition to a power source, but since the version of [=UlforceVeedramon's=] arm used was the X-Antibody variety, it ended up being an UpToEleven version of it which entered his whole system and gave him SuperEmpowering due to the Ulforce attempting to heal wounds in the remainder of his body it doesn't even realize aren't even there.

* PantyShot: An embarrassing one occurs between her and Takato after fumbling with ingredients while cooking, sending both her and Takato onto the floor, with Jeri landing with her rear up and Takato getting a good view of under her skirt. Needless to say, Takato likes what he sees, but upon Jeri realizing she accidentally turned on Takato, they both try and quickly chance the subject to avoid further awkwardness.

* AdaptedOut: Ai and Mako, the original tamers of Impmon in ''Digimon Tamers'', do not appear, and neither does Leomon, who was the original partner of Jeri in ''Digimon Tamers''. Whereas Leomon being scrapped in favor of Impmon ties in directly to the WhatIf premise, Ai and Mako were adapted out because regardless of how much the AgeLift would be used on the characters, they're both far too young in the canon to realistically be adapted here as anything more than innocent civilians, considering literally every other character is High School aged or are adults, or in Grandis and Raiga's case a living TimeAbyss. Not only that, but the author pointed both case's out [[https://www.deviantart.com/mf217/journal/I-did-it-my-way-764057403 here]] that a huge dosage of AdultFear would be in play if they were to be involved in any scene regarding [[TheSociopath Besiege]], who would have no issue killing them if needed because [[VileVillainSaccharineShow he's just that kind of heinous about who he's hired to kill.]]

Here, on the other hand, the D-Reaper fails to function as a major threat because its {{Aversion}} of growing beyond its programming is transformed into a ''weakness'' rather than an advantage; [[spoiler:Ultra Level Digimon make a complete and utter joke of the D-Reaper here, since because the D-Reaper as shown here [[RealityEnsues is nothing more than a giant amoeba, it's too basal in nature to harm]] [[UltimateLifeform Ultra Level Digimon]] [[RealityEnsues at all.]]]]

Had the D-Reaper actually played the GrewBeyondTheirProgramming trope straight, it would've avoided the villain decay altogether and remained a viable threat. In other words, imagine if Slimes from an RPG were a minor enemy at best; you'd have the D-Reapers weaker forms here. Then imagine said slimes combining together into a GiantMook, which would resemble the more powerful agents from the anime; they ''maintain all of their prior weaknesses'' because they're nothing more than just TheBrute versions of their predecessor forms in overall functionality.

** The narrative of ''Digimon Re: Tamers'' robs the advantages the D-Reaper had in the original series, because due to the more {{Reconstruction}} based narrative of ''Digimon Re: Tamers'', many of the D-Reaper's former victims in the canon series had exploited the D-Reaper's {{Aversion}} of the GrewBeyondTheirProgramming trope and weaponizes it against them. Effectively rendered a very colossal amoeba in this narrative sense, it is robbed of any of the complexity it even "had" from the original series because of the fact [[RealityEnsues it would've had no choice but to grow beyond its programming to actually achieve said powers in the first place, thus making its aversion of said trope a complete]] AchillesHeel in this version. [[spoiler:{{Averted}} with Takato Red, although still somewhat PlayedStraight in that while Takato Red succeeds where his D-Reaper failed, his goals and motivation are highly modified due to the human mind he inhabits now.]]

* FusionDance: Despite Sakuyamon and Gallantmon both being showcased to be this in regards to their canon selves, they are ''not'' utilizing Bio-Emerging to do this; that would've immediately been shot down by the fact they activating their Mega Level forms in the real world, and no Dobermon is present to have given them the ability to have already do it like in the canon. It's a case of WrongContextMagic as to how they still become Mega Level in this continuity as opposed to the canon, and unlike in the canon, Ryo is excluded from this as his Cyberdramon can easily become Millenniumon without him. Here, the Soul Link, a supernatural power that is the bane of Ultimorian entities and is noted to basically be ThePowerOfFriendship given physical form, is what allows for the primary PowerTrio of Henry, Ruki, and Takato to fuse with their own Digimon to have them become Mega Level. In spite of all of this, when the three Digimon in question are within the Digital World, no FusionDance occurs and their human partners remain separate entities as Rapidmon, Taomon, and [=WarGrowlmon=] Digivolve into their Mega Level forms all by themselves.

* YourSizeMayVary: All of the Digimon in the canon were traditionally rather big as Champion, Ultimate Level or even Mega Level; here almost all of the evolved forms have shrunk as to allow them to fit into doors meant for humans, which reflects their sizes in the games at least in the over world portions. [=WarGrowlmon=], the biggest Ultimate of the canon PowerTrio, is the most noticeably shrunken in the cast. [=MegaGargomon=] being a borderline {{Kaiju}} in the original likewise gets shrunken ''even more so''.

* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: Barbarymon is quite literally liquid except for his head, considering his entire body outside of that exception can twist and turn in such ways that can allow Barbarymon to fit through tight spaces that a Digimon his size would never dream of being able to sneak through without tearing the corridors asunder in the process. The only restriction is the aforementioned skull, which is far too solid in nature to allow the same abnormal movement as the remainder of Barbarymon's body. Also, much like an actual cat, Barbarymon can turn his head around further than any normal person can, to the point of effectively being able to look backwards.



*** Likewise, he didn't have his canonical anime introduced Baby and In-Training stages either; the same model of the V-Pet depicted in the prologue heavily implied this incarnation's Baby and In-Training forms were Puttimon and Kyupimon respectively. In the soft reboot of ''Digimon Re: Tamers'', the forms are back to the canonical Keemon and Yarmon respectively.



* ArchEnemy: Kumbhiramon considers Impmon as Vungareimon to be this, as it's noteworthy in that Kumbhiramon seems to know significantly more about Vungareimon than any of the other Deva ever show. This mostly boils down to the way the Eastern Zodiac was formed; the rat tricked the cat into missing out on the race, and thus cats became mortal enemies with rats as a result, and Vungareimon, for all intents and purposes, is a giant, demonic cat-like creature.

to:

*** Funnily enough, this was the whole intent of [=MF217=] to begin with was to use fan-made forms; however, he did not intend to use designs of his own at first, instead trying to ask permission from another artist to use their forms they made. However, they never replied to [=MF217=], and subsequently a burst of creativity flowing through his mind ultimately eventually wound up causing [=MF217=] to design Vungareimon, and then a while later Barbarymon. The rest is history at that point.
* ArchEnemy: AdaptationalBadass: Beelzemon Blast Mode has sometimes been considered an Ultra Level, but that's mostly in games where it's overall power flat out eclipses normal Beelzemon, such as ''VideoGame/DigimonMasters''. In ''VideoGame/DigimonStoryCyberSleuth'', it's a Mega Level, but it isn't a Mode Change and has it's own requirements needing to be fulfilled to Digivolve into it. Also, unlike all other Mega Level Digimon, and sharing this in common with every Ultra Level Digimon in the game, Beelzemon BM has a Memory requirement of 25; the highest possible in the game. The only other Mega to have this requirement is Duftmon LM, but that Digimon is a Mode Change unlike Beelzemon BM.

** In the soft reboot of the fic, Indramon is promoted to this for Impmon personally. Not only does Indramon reprise the role of being an absolute jackass to Impmon, but apparently before Impmon had ever entered the real world, this was already a pre-established history between the two. Indramon, by the time he encounters Impmon in the real world again, simply forgot who he even was to begin with and doesn't realize at first that he's the same Digimon he bullied in the Digital World.



** When he's digivolving into Vungareimon for the first time, he tears his apart his own body as Devimon from the inside out, first appearing as cracking ridges forming along Devimon's form, before Vungareimon explosively emerges from within his own Devimon form and causes his exterior to shatter like glass and promptly melt into smoldering ash.

* EstablishingSeriesMoment: His GoshDarnItToHeck tangent in the prologue actually establishes an unusual fact about ''Digimon Re: Tamers'' that is the fact the ObligatorySwearing is going to be toned down to the point it's most often used as a PrecisionFStrike scenario at most. This is in stark contrast with previous fics like ''Digimon Re: Adventure'', and even ''Truth and Ideals'', in which the swearing was there from the beginning only to get out of control as the story progressed; the fact nobody actually swears until [[spoiler:Henry's flashback of him CallingTheOldManOut]] is a major testament to the author's attempts to heavily tone down the overabundance of swearing in his fics prior to this one.

*** The [[https://sta.sh/01jjr8x01cik redraw of Barbarymon's head]] only reinforces this idea. Barbarymon's design tweak sees to it so that his head is even larger than it was prior, with the additional detailing in his teeth as well as the additional layers of teeth making it clear that Barbarymon's bite is nothing short of '''agonizing pain''' to experience.



* TakesOneToKillOne: [[spoiler:Vungareimon has an explicit advantage with not just terminating Virus Attribute Digimon, but ''also'' towards being able to terminate Deva Digimon. The Deva speculate that Vungareimon is perhaps a fallen member of their own, but none of them can recognize it as being one of their own kind. This is because Vungareimon represents the unofficial member of the Eastern Zodiac in the form of the cat. Barbarymon, the next digivolution of Vungareimon, even has a signature attack which is designed to tear apart Deva Digimon.]]
* TerrorHero: Barbarymon's visual appearance has been used on the decor and artwork of a lost civilization that only uses his ferocious appearance to guard their ancient land to scare off intruders or thieves. Even the Sovereigns have gotten a tad paranoid this idea worked a little too well in hindsight, considering none of them are willing to answer or find out exactly how strong Barbarymon's bite actually is.

Added DiffLines:

* HorrifyingHero: Barbarymon's redesigned head gives the impression all by itself, considering it's brutal biting strength is implied to be so strong it actually made the Sovereigns increasingly uneasy using it's appearance alone as a means of warding off invaders and thieves to sacred temples.


Added DiffLines:

* TerrorHero: Barbarymon's visual appearance has been used on the decor and artwork of a lost civilization that only uses his ferocious appearance to guard their ancient land to scare off intruders or thieves. Even the Sovereigns have gotten a tad paranoid this idea worked a little too well in hindsight, considering none of them are willing to answer or find out exactly how strong Barbarymon's bite actually is.

!! Parasimon

* EyeScream: While not without justification since Parasimon's eyes are it's most noteworthy attribute, everyone kind of has an unhealthy obsession with stabbing them in the eye ''specifically'' to terminate them. One particular Parasimon apparently was so unlucky that it decided to use itself as a living lock on a door which only a Mega Level could unlock. Apparently the Ouryuken will always unlock it no matter who is currently wielding it, again, justified, since the Ouryuken's true form is a Mega Level Digimon itself.



* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:{{Desconstructed}}: While true in that it does gain the ability to absorb biological materials from the start, it's doing so in a heavily panicking state; Cobaldramon is literally just minutes from confronting it and eating its core alive, so it's behaving more desperately as to acquire enough power to defend itself; it doesn't work.]]

to:

* AdaptationalBadass: AchillesPowerCord: [[spoiler:Lady Raiga's All Delete doesn't even need to target a vital function on the D-Reaper to score an instant kill; this entire trope that all of the D-Reaper agents suffer from is all that is needed for Lady Raiga to execute the entire entity in a single strike. In other words, Lady Raiga could just as easily target a weaker agent with it's cord fully intact with All Delete, and literally '''''every other piece of the D-Reaper is instantly vaporized in the process'''''.]]

** [[spoiler:While that's not even getting into whether or not the D-Reaper had it's power scaled up based on heavy, deliberate exaggeration of it's bios, it ultimately proves to not be enough, as while the D-Reaper still manages to be a threatening force, the tradeoff is simple as elaborated on more in-depth below; it ultimately falls victim to the LaterInstallmentWeirdness PowerCreep, at the hands of a Digimon it never even encountered directly in canon material because said Digimon didn't even exist yet.]]
* AdaptationalWimp:
** By virtue of massive PowerCreep the franchise had experienced shortly after ''Tamers'' with the debut of the X-Antibody and the likes of Omegamon X coming into existence. [[spoiler:Even assuming the D-Reaper's power got exaggerated like everyone else's power, so did Omegamon X's power as shown with it's demise at Lady Raiga's hand with All Delete, wiping out the entirety of the D-Reaper and leaving '''absolutely nothing''' in the wake of her strike.]]
** To add insult to injury, [[spoiler:Lady Raiga as regular ordinary Omegamon is already more than sufficient to vaporize entire chunks of it using her Garuru Cannon move alone, and whenever Lady Raiga shields herself with her cape, she doesn't even take the tiniest bit of damage from the D-Reaper and unleashes a wave of divinity aura to subdue the whole D-Reaper in the process.
]]



* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:The D-Reaper survives Lady Raiga's wrath only because of the fact it's kernel sphere was still stuck inside of Cobaldramon's gut, meaning the fact everyone deems Cobaldramon to valuable to kill off is the entire reason the D-Reaper isn't 100% dead. Before they could extract the core, however, with the D-Reaper's mass that enveloped it no longer keeping Cobaldramon outside of water, Cobaldramon is able to rejuvenate and flee into the ocean, from which the D-Reaper's core is now still at large, but otherwise not in any more of a position to cause harm than it already was prior.]]



* VillainDecay: The narrative of ''Digimon Re: Tamers'' robs the advantages the D-Reaper had in the original series, because due to the more {{Reconstruction}} based narrative of ''Digimon Re: Tamers'', many of the D-Reaper's former victims in the canon series had exploited the D-Reaper's {{Aversion}} of the GrewBeyondTheirProgramming trope and weaponizes it against them. Effectively rendered a very colossal amoeba in this narrative sense, it is robbed of any of the complexity it even "had" from the original series because of the fact [[RealityEnsues it would've had no choice but to grow beyond its programming to actually achieve said powers in the first place, thus making its aversion of said trope a complete]] AchillesHeel in this version. [[spoiler:{{Averted}} with Takato Red, although still somewhat PlayedStraight in that while Takato Red succeeds where his D-Reaper failed, his goals and motivation are highly modified due to the human mind he inhabits now.]]

!! Strabimon

to:

!! Strabimon
Strabimon > Lobomon > [=KendoGarurumon=] > Beowulfmon > [=AncientGarurumon=]

* AdaptationalBadass: [=KendoGarurumon=] and Beowulfmon are considered Ultimate and Mega Level respectively in ''Digimon Re: Tamers'', as opposed to their original evolutionary levels of Champion and Ultimate Level they're normally classified as.
* CanonForeigner: His species and his evolution line were introduced in the franchise after ''Tamers'' was over, and most of the forms in question were used in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''. Strabimon was not outright used in said series, and [=AncientGarurumon=] was only given a brief cameo in an OVA.




to:

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Beow'''u'''lfmon is spelled as it was in the English Dub of ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' as opposed to Beow'''o'''lfmon as it was in both the original Japanese version and the English Dub of ''Frontier''. It's intended as a ShoutOut to ''Literature/{{Beowulf}}''.

* AggressiveSubmissive: She specifically states that she wants Ryo to rock her world in his own way when she finally turns 18 and can finally have sex with him. By this, her normally dominant part in their relationship takes a backseat to how Ruki wants to be pleasured in bed. spoiler:She actually does this as a test for Ryo; she wants to have Ryo dominate her, but she wants to ensure he won't do anything to harm her in doing so, even if by accident. Ruki is scared of Ryo's strength and fit form, and her desire to be fucked by him regularly after turning 18 wants her to be certain she won't be accidentally injured by him during sex, and that she can truly feel safe when she relinquishes control to someone whom she trusts with her life so far.

Even when compared to Ryo, Henry's implied to be older than him, despite Ryo being no older than 19.
