History Characters / DigimonAdventure2020Heroes

* MadeOfIron: As both Greymon and [=MetalGreymon=]. Greymon being capable of surviving constant attacks from Digimon an entire level above him, and [=MetalGreymon=] enduring even more punishment from both vastly stronger Perfects and even Ultimates. [[spoiler:Quite literally the case with Mugendramon]]. [=WarGreymon=] is even tougher given proper use of the Brave Shield, capable of NoSelling attacks from a mass of Armors AND an Ultimate at the same time.

* MadeOfIron: As both Greymon and [=MetalGreymon=]. Greymon being capable of surviving constant attacks from Digimon an entire level above him, and [=MetalGreymon=] enduring even more punishment from both vastly stronger Perfects and even Ultimates. [[spoiler:Quite literally the case with Mugendramon]].

* AttackDrone: Or in this case, Defense Drone. Instead of WarGreymon wielding his Brave Shield in hand like in previous series, he can mentally control the two halves to form a floating shield in front of him.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: His Kaiser Nail attack effortlessly slices through Scorpiomon and finishes him off.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original series, [=WereGarurumon=] was one of the team's weakest Perfect level Digimon due to lacking raw strength, ability and energy blasts. This version, meanwhile, is a physical powerhouse, capable of easily overpowering Scorpiomon as if it was an entire level below him, and whose Kaiser Nail now partially functions as an energy shot-type move. Also, although his fighting style always revolved around hand-to-hand, in the original he was more of a savage brawler, whereas he now employs recognizable techniques from UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} and UsefulNotes/{{Kickboxing}} for neat effect. Finally, he has now access to a energy wings and other incredible gadgets as part of his Sagittarius Mode.

* ShoulderCannon: While in Sagittarius Mode, the top two wings can become these if he needs to attack at range while moving on foot.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of Hikari, which is shown right from the first episode. When he and Koshiro go to the train station after hearing the trains are going berserk, they're blocked from going any further by the authorities, but what does Taichi do when he hears Hikari (And his mom) are in one of the trains? Don his signature goggles, leap over the turnstiles to the train station, and make a run to the tracks to help his family in whatever way he can. Keep in mind, this was all ''before'' he had Agumon, but that was not gonna stop him from trying to save his family.

-->''To take back the Holy Digimon and to save our world...That's why we came all the way here! We can't give up at a place like this! Right, [=MetalGreymon=]?!''

* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Unlike the original continuity where he was part of the group from the outset, Takeru isn't with them initially here, instead left in the human world. Even then, ''Hikari'' manages to get several appearances to show how the human world is affected, while Takeru doesn't even get that.

** Downplayed with Joe. He is still cowardly and nervous in this series, but after joining the group, he becomes more extroverted and energetic than he ever was in the original, as seen when he gets ''overjoyed'' at the aloof Yamato finally sharing some of his worries with them.

** Takeru was easily scared and prone to crying in the original due to being the youngest, and it took a long time and harsh events to make him braver. The reboot instead has him being quite courageous and determined from the beginning, even when faced with evil Digimon. A good example is when he told [[TheDragon [=DarkKnightmon=]]] to ''move out of his way'', something the original Takeru would have ''never'' done at such an early point.

** Despite already being almost story-breakingly powerful in the original ''Adventure'', Angemon in ''2020'' is so much more powerful that they're considered a legend to the setting. As if he wasn't strong enough on his own, his holy aura alone now passively heals his ally Digimon and empowers them enough to easily destroy Velgrmon, who had just defeated them with minimal involvement. In the original series, those two powers had only been associated with Angewomon and [=HolyAngemon=], who are both of them a whole level over him, and the casual, even incidental nature of their usage by Angemon implies that, even if Velgrmon is very strong for a Perfect level, Angemon is just ''leagues'' beyond him.

* SixthRanger: As with the original ''Adventure'', Tailmon has yet to join the team despite Hikari playing a role much earlier on in this series. The other six Digimon in the team have met up with each other and their partners not even ten episodes in. Tailmon was not a member of the warriors in the past, and is currently located somewhere in the Cloud Continent.

* AdaptationalBadass: While always capable in the original anime, Sora was seldom in close proximity to Piyomon and her evolutions when her Digimon partner was fighting on her behalf. In this series, she will often ride directly on Birdramon and personally be a part of her fiery attacks even when such power would normally be considered dangerous enough to burn any other person to a crisp. (As Birdramon's human partner, it's assumed that she's naturally protected).

** Despite already being almost story-breakingly powerful in the original ''Adventure'', Angemon in ''2020'' is so much more powerful that they're considered a legend to the setting. As if he wasn't strong enough on his own, his holy aura alone now passively heals his ally Digimon and empowers them enough to easily destroy Velgrmon, who had just defeated them with minimal involvement. In the original series, those two powers had only been associated to Angewomon and [=MagnaAngemon=], who are both of them a whole level over him, and the casual, even incidental nature of their usage by Angemon implies that, even if Velgrmon is very strong for a Perfect level, Angemon is just ''leagues'' beyond him.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:His Perfect evolution sequence starts with a hologram of Mugendramon biting Greymon entirely before his transformation into [=MetalGreymon=], hinting at the mechanical dragon being one of its dark evolutions.]]

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:Mugendramon’s unique form without its twin cannons has the mechanical digimon attack with its tail, swiping it around and shooting several lasers through it, continuous blasts which can function like sabers, this application is very reminiscent of Film/ShinGodzilla]].

* StrongButUnskilled: [[spoiler:Mugendramon isn't even fully formed yet viciously rips through [=DoneDevimon=]'s wings and batters him to the ground with his sheer mass. Unfortunately, their fighting skill plummets from their prior form and do nothing but trample and bite, eventually being outplayed into submission by [=DoneDevimon=]'s sadistic fighting style]].

** In this series, Palmon can extend her Poison Ivy to incredible lengths in order to form convoluted, long-range traps, while in the original the vines were mostly used for simple grapples. She can also stab opponents with the tip of her vines, being able to even destroy minor Digimon with them, when in the original she didn't have a direct offensive move.

** In the original series, Patamon's Air Shot attack was just a moderately strong mouthful of air, which was only situationally useful to push other small Digimon away and/or deflect small projectiles. In this version, the attack is a solid-looking air bullet, which can knock much bigger Digimon away even at long range.

** Takeru was easily scared and prone to crying in the original due to being the youngest. The reboot instead has him much more courageous and determined, even when faced with evil Digimon. A good example is when he told [[TheDragon [=DarkKnightmon=]]] to ''move out of his way'', something the original Takeru would have ''never'' done in the start of the series.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler: Not Agumon but his dark evolution Mugendramon. In the original he's a violent dictator who callously slaughtered his men and helped warp the entire digital world. Here he's the warped evolution of [=MetalGreymon=], born from his rage at Taichi being eaten by [=DoneDevimon=]. Incredibly powerful and violent but not a monster.]]

* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: In the original series, Mugendramon was a major antagonist and [=SkullGreymon=] was Agumon's Dark Evolution. This series instead reworks Mugendramon into Agumons Ultimate-level Dark Evolution.]]

** Continues with [=MetalGreymon=]; in his debut he is multiple times larger than Greymon, so large that Taichi is basically a spot on his head, and then in Episode 14 appears only about 4~5 times Taichi's size and not much bigger than Greymon.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original series, [=WereGarurumon=] was one of the team's weakest Perfect level Digimon due to lacking raw strength, ability and energy blasts. This version, meanwhile, is a physical powerhouse, capable of easily overpowering Scorpiomon as if it was an entire level below him, and whose Kaiser Nail now partially functions as an energy-type move. Also, although his fighting style always revolved around hand-to-hand, in the original he was more of a savage brawler, whereas he now employs recognizable techniques from UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} and UsefulNotes/{{Kickboxing}} for neat effect. Finally, he has now access to a energy wings and other incredible gadgets as part of his Sagittarius Mode.

** [=AtlurKabuterimon=] was always among the strongest Perfect levels of the team, famously destroying a scaled down yet still huge planet that Vademon threw at him, but his 2020 version is still maxed up. Horn Buster is changed from a basic energy blast to a gigantic beetle horn made of explosive energy, which [=AtlurKabuterimon=] uses to plow through an entire canyon as he subjects an already defeated Okuwamon to overkill, and the resulting explosion is just as wide as the planetary one from ''Adventure''. In addition, this version of him seems more maneuverable, as the original sometimes suffered of being cumbersome in close quarters, while in 2020 he amuses himself beating down Okuwamon with agile strikes and kicks before finishing him.

* IfItSwimsItFlies: In the network space, ehile Palmon has to wrap her vines around Tentomon and/or Piyomon to keep up, Gomamon can swim through the air like water.

** In this series, Palmon can extend her Poison Ivy to incredible lengths in order to form convoluted, long-range traps, while in the original the vines were mostly used for simple grapples. She can also stab opponents with the tip of her vines, being able to even destroy minor Digimon with it, when in the original she didn't have a direct offensive move.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:His evolution sequence starts with a hologram of Mugendramon biting Greymon entirely before his transformation into [=MetalGreymon=], hinting at the mechanical dragon being one of its dark evolutions.]]

This version, meanwhile, is a physical powerhouse, capable of easily overpowering Scorpiomon as if it was an entire level below him, and whose Kaiser Nail now partially functions as an energy-type move. Also, although his fighting style always revolved around hand-to-hand, in the original he was more of a savage brawler, whereas he now employs recognizable techniques from UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} and UsefulNotes/{{Kickboxing}} for neat effect. Finally, he has now access to a energy wings and other incredible gadgets as part of his Alterous Mode.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Previously, Omegamon was a post-series power up created by fusing two Ultimate/Mega Digimon ([=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=]) into one and was a serious contender for one of the most powerful Digimon in the anime franchise. His appearances were almost exclusively post series and involved him going up against the most powerful enemies in the original series. Here he shows up at the end of ''episode 2'', LONG before his components gain their natural Ultimate forms.

* StoryBreakerPower: Being that he is a fusion of two Ultimate level Digimon and a Royal Knight to boot, he is ''miles'' ahead in power of every Digimon shown so far, both heroes and villains alike. As a result, his appearences so far have been treated as [[DeusExMachina divine interventions]] from the Holy Digimon to save the kids.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Omegamon's power is ''insane'', [[CurbStompBattle easily defeating]] Algomon and Nidhoggmon, who also have shown a lot of power before, and his appearences are all treated as divine interventions.

* AdaptationalBadass: Despite already being almost story-breakingly powerful in the original ''Adventure'', Angemon in ''2020'' is so much more powerful that they're considered a legend to the setting. As if he wasn't strong enough on his own, his holy aura alone now passively heals his ally Digimon and empowers them enough to easily destroy Velgrmon, who had just defeated them with minimal involvement. In the original series, those two powers had only been associated to Angewomon and [=MagnaAngemon=], who are both of them a whole level over him, and the casual, even incidental nature of their usage by Angemon implies that, even if Velgrmon is very strong for a Perfect level, Angemon is just ''leagues'' beyond him.

** The original [=MetalGreymon=] was a slow behemoth that depended on his firepower and strength to defeat his opponents, and his lack of maneuverability was even occasionally capitalized on by enemies. In comparison, his new version is more a LightningBruiser, boasting athleticism that borders on OffscreenTeleportation while having possibly even ''more'' offensive power than his predecessor. Those new abilities also allow for more technical attacks, using his arms, mouth and tail to perform UsefulNotes/{{Judo}}-style takedowns on Digimon his size, and enable him to keep up with opponents that are officially faster then him. His flying ability is also more pronounced in this new version than in the original, where those wings rarely got used. Also Giga Destroyer is FAR stronger in this adaptation, serving as a finishing move capable of defeating opponents even bulkier than he is. And that's without getting into its Alterous Mode, which gives it a new ranged weapon his original counterpart never had access to.
** The original series had [=WarGreymon=] typically be around the size of a human and rarely performed a true CurbStomp, even in his introduction, due to either sharing the spotlight with another fighter or fighting major arc opponents. [[spoiler:In 2020, [=WarGreymon=] is huge enough to fit Taichi in his palms, and without even fully forming, drills right through the flurry BeamSpam of major arc villain [=DoneDevimon=] and slaughters them in that single strike]]. He even attains this form under his own power rather than having to rely on the incredibly specific and complex ritual like the original version did.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original series, [=WereGarurumon=] was one of the team's weakest Perfect level Digimon due to lacking raw strength, ability and energy blasts. This version, meanwhile, is a physical powerhouse, capable of easily overpowering Scorpiomon as if it was an entire level below him, and whose Kaiser Nail now partially functions as an energy-type move. Also, although his fighting style always revolved around hand-to-hand, in the original he was more of a savage brawler, whereas he now employs recognizable techniques from UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} and UsefulNotes/{{Kickboxing}} for neat effect.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Birdramon was never silent, per se, but most of the sounds she'd make in the original series consisted of bird-like cries and screeches, and the only words she spoke were her name when announcing her transformations from Child to Adult & Adult to Perfect, and when calling out her Meteor Wing attack in battle. Additionally, she says one full sentence during the final battle against Mugendramon, and there were only two instances where she's heard saying Sora's name. Her 2020 counterpart is much more vocal however, speaking no less than the other Adult forms of the Chosen Digimon.

* AdaptationalBadass: Despite already being almost story-breakingly powerful in the original ''Adventure'', Angemon in ''2020'' is so much more powerful that they're considered a legend to the setting. As if he wasn't strong enough on his own, his holy aura alone now passively heals his ally Digimon and empowers them enough to easily destroy Velgrmon, who had just defeated them with minimal involvement.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler: Not Agumon but his dark evolution Mugendramon. In the original he's a violent dictator who callously slaughtered his men and helped warp the entire digital world. Here he's the warped evolution of [=MetalGreymon=], born from his rage at Taichi being eaten by DoneDevimon. Incredibly powerful and violent but not a monster.]
