History Characters / DigimonAdventure2020Heroes

** Lillymon is much more powerful and versatile in this series. While her original Flower Cannon was a single energy shot, this one can fire multiple iterations at high speed, and it has the added effect of spawning parasitic vines upon impact, which can extend from their positions to trap and drain the opponents (even Metal Digimon). She can also spam flower petals around the battlefield to use them as chaff. In addition, whereas her first battle as Lillymon in the original was against the Champion [=DarkTyrannomon=] and ended with her being [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by fellow Ultimate-level Myotismon, her first battle this time is against ''another'' Ultimate, Andromon, which ''she'' proceeds to curb-stomp. Likewise, she's shown to be able to use her Flower Cannon in its unbloomed state ''as a [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]]-esque drill!'' ''And it obliterates Gogmamon!'' She can also fire a continuous beam from the cannon, which she does as part of a CombinationAttack against [[spoiler:Machinedramon]].

* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Cat]]: She's able to use her Holy Ring to sense the presence of evil Digimon, allowing Kari to navigate safely through a forest in episode 58.

* LivingMacGuffin: Turns out to be the Holy Digimon that the heroes spent the first major chunk of the series searching for, and most of the early villains are hellbent on preventing them from finding him. Granted, it later turns out that he's not the ''only'' Holy Digimon, but that fact didn't come to light until well after they finally succeeded in reaching him.

* PhysicalGod: Goldramon is, as his Japanese name suggests, literally a god dragon.

* EvilDetectingDogCat: She's able to use her Holy Ring to sense the presence of evil Digimon, allowing Kari to navigate safely through a forest in episode 58.

* ThePaladin: Gatomon acts as Kari's sworn knight and can use her holy powers to both attack foes and empower and heal her allies.
* PhysicalGod: According to her Digimon Encyclopedia, Angewomon is like a goddess. Magnadramon takes this one step further by truly having the power of a god.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the ChronicHeroSyndrome. Since the situation with Neemon's group as she insists on helping them, Matt notes that Sora priotized helping others over her mission as a Digi-Destined. It came to ahead during their mission to awaken their Creast when Biyomon gets hurt while they were helping Junkmon. Sora overworked herself in assisting Junkmon while keeping Biyomon from hurting herself again, only to learn that she deeply upsets her partner.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: After seeing the situation of Neamon and the Bearmon and Labramon, she prioritizes helping them over continuing the search for the Holy Digimon. She also chooses to free the Funbeemon from Canonbeemon. Matt even points that out when the two go face off against the Digimon.

** Even Ponchomon qualifies for this trope, despite not appearing in the ''Adventure'' canon. In the first ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' movie, ''[[Recap/DigimonTamersM1BattleOfAdventurers The Adventurers' Battle]]'', it was a minor threat that was quickly disposed of by the Champion-level Growlmon. Here however, it's a DanceBattler that makes short work of Etemon and Volcamon, both of which are Ultimate-level.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Speaks with this accent in Japanese, much like the original Tentomon.

* BladeOnAStick: He wields the Kijū Engetsutou as [=CresGarurumon=].

* BladeOnAStick: Ophanimon wields a golden lance called Eden's Javelin.

->'''Voiced by:''' Miwa Matsumoto (Japanese), Creator/LizzieFreeman (English)

* SpikeShooter: Togemon's Chikuchiku Bang Bang is an omnidirectional assault of cactus quills.

** Even Ponchomon qualifies for this trope, despite not appearing in the ''Adventure'' canon. In the first ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' movie, ''[[Recap/DigimonTamersM1BattleOfAdventurers The Adventurers' Battle]]'', it was a minor threat that was quickly disposed of by the Champion-level Growmon. Here however, it's a DanceBattler that makes short work of Etemon and Volcamon, both of which are Ultimate-level.

* PowerNullifier: He was able to negate Mephismon's dark aura by chanting historical, scientific and mathematical facts.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Not Palmon herself, but Ponchomon, who had appeared as a minor minion under Mephismon in the first ''Tamers'' movie, while in this continuity it's an alternate digivolution for one of the heroes' Digimon.

* '''In-Training''': Tsunomon, a fuzzy orange head with a spike at the top.

!Biyomon (Biyomon)

* WhipItGood: Palmon uses Poison Ivy to whip an Eyesmon: Scatter Mode. Rosemon also uses a whip for her attacks.

->'''Voiced by:''' Misaki Watada (Japanese), Creator/RyanBartley (English)

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese), A.J. Beckles (English)

* TheDeterminator: While he wants to run away at first, after he's reminded by Ikkakumon of Sora's condition and how they must protect her, he becomes determined to stop the Mammon and Yukidarumons from reaching her, despite the two of them being outnumbered and a level below Mammon.
* GuileHero: After he sees Mammon's weight being enough to crack the ice underneath them, he quickly comes up with a plan for Ikkakumon to shoot the ground as the mammoth Digimon steps on it.

* LetsGetDangerous: Joe can be a whiner and a coward but he's proven time after time that he's no less capable than the other kids when fighting Digimon and is capable of helping his partner with some good [[GuileHero strategies]]. A good example is when he and Ikkakumon are being chased by the Mammon and Yukidarumons. After being reminded by Ikkakumon of Sora's condition and how they must protect her, he turns dead serious and quickly comes up with a strategy to escape Mammon and then reunite with the group.

** Zudomon in the original was always armed with his hammer and largely relied upon it. Here, the weapon is only summoned for a FinishingMove; this Zudomon is actually capable of overpowering Mammon with a single, unarmed hand, and also kills four Yukidarumon in one slash from his claws (not even a named attack, just a casual swing). Hammer Spark also seems to directly channel electricity into the enemy rather than be an arrow-like projectile, though it ''can'' still be the latter if need be. He can also create shockwaves with it.

* CurbStompBattle: Being outnumbered doesn't stop Zudomon from dishing this out in his debut appearance. He starts by killing four Yukidarumon with a single casual swing from his claws, and when he takes on Mammon after that, the fact they're on the same level doesn't do the mammoth any favors as Zudomon quickly and effortlessly swats aside his attack and knocks him down to the lake with a single punch. When his opponent attempts to attack him after that, Zudomon summons his hammer and overpowers his attack in short time before finishing him off.

* TheDeterminator: When faced against a Mammon and four Yukidarumon, Ikkakumon is not only outnumbered but also a full level below Mammon, but he still chooses to stay and face them so they won't reach Sora while she's injured. Even after Joe says they cannot do it, he still chooses to stay and fight, inspiring Joe to do the same.

* HeroicBuild: Zudomon is incredibly muscular and has the strength to match that build, as shown when he lifted and threw down the huge Mammon with very little effort.
* HornAttack: Ikkakumon's primary attack is his Harpoon Vulcan, where he fires his horn off his head that releases a heat seeking missile. During the fight with [[spoiler:Machinedramon]], Zudomon also does a charge attack with a glowing horn.

* MusclesAreMeaningful: As said in HeroicBuild, Zudomon is very muscular, and as a result of that, he's one of the physically strongest of the kids' Digimon, easily overpowering and knocking down the similarly massive Mammon.

* MultiDirectionalBarrage: Togemon's Chikuchiku Bang Bang is an omnidirectional assault of cactus quills, though she can focus the direction they fire on.

* ShockAndAwe: Tentomon's Petit Thunder and Kabuterimon's Mega Blaster unleash purple electricity.

* BreathWeapon: Biyomon unleashes her Magical Fire from her beak.

** Unlike her ''Adventure'' incarnation, she's shown to go into both Magnadramon ''and Ophanimon'', with Ophanimon in particular being able to [[SingleStrokeBattle one-shot]] [[spoiler:Deathmon]] with a single Eden's Javelin. In ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'', she only managed to achieve [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Ophanimon: Falldown Mode]], who did little of importance before being Jogressed into Ordinemon.

** Omnimon Alter-S is this compared to what we know of him prior. [[spoiler:He's normally depicted as being as strong as regular Omnimon, while here he's presented as a straight up SuperMode. There's also the fact that Omnimon can go into Alter-S ''at all'', and by itself no less, as opposed to [[Anime/DigimonAdventureTri Merciful Mode]] which required [[AllYourPowersCombined a Jogress with the other partners]].]]

** '''Mode Change''': [=MetalGreymon=] Alterous Mode: An augmented form of [=MetalGreymon=] that changes his right arm into a massive fanged railgun from [=MetalGreymon=] (Virus) X-Antibody.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:His Ultimate digivolution sequence starts with a hologram of Machinedramon biting Greymon entirely before his transformation into [=MetalGreymon=], hinting at the mechanical dragon being one of its dark digivolutions. To a smaller extent, the fact that Alteros Mode's cannon is derived from the ''Virus-type'' version of [=MetalGreymon=] X-Antibody, which could be foreshadowing either of Machinedramon or [=BlitzGreymon=].]]

* AdaptationExpansion: The original Omnimon didn't have much plot relevance outside of being used to defeat Diablomon. ''This'' Omnimon, however, is a major part of the series lore. [[spoiler:He was formed when the souls of four fallen commanders of the Army of Light merged with the remaining two to form him to defeat Millenniumon. He is dubbed the 'Ultimate Miracle' because of this.]]

!Chosen Ones

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:As is typical of a ''Digimon Series'', the Chosen Ones return to the human world when their quest is complete. Only this time, their Digimon go back to live with them. The only exception is Tai and Agumon, who chose to stay behind in the Digital World.]]

* CostumeEvolution: A meta example. To visually indicate this series is a ContinuityReboot with a SettingUpdate, the outfits of the Chosen Ones hare given modifications. Some remain mostly the same with minor changes, like Tai[[note]]Shirt has a different collar, its chest pockets merged and moved down to the belly area. Orange shorts replace brown ones. Sneakers with inverted color scheme.[[/note]], Mimi[[note]]Shorter skirt. New collar. Brown boots rather than white.[[/note]], and Joe;[[note]]Longer pants. Brown boots replacing red and white sneakers.[[/note]] some receive a full PaletteSwap of their clothing from the old continuity, like Matt;[[note]]Though with black sneakers replacing brown boots.[[/note]] and others get a full wardrobe shift, like Sora,[[note]]Short-sleeved pink T-shirt rather than sleeveless yellow shirt. Pink, straight down jeans instead of blue jeans with the legs rolled up. Completely different sneakers, pink with black rather than black with red. No gloves.[[/note]] Izzy,[[note]]Hoodie replaces the buttoned shirt. Shorter, different shaded shorts. Completely different, more intrincante boots. No gloves.[[/note]] T.K,[[note]]Striped T-shirt replaces his shirt and vest. His hat has new highlights. Shorter pants. Different sneakers, with yellow replacing white.[[/note]] and Kari.[[note]]Blue overalls replacing pink pants. Longer sleeves. Different sneakers and socks.[[/note]]

* TheAce: Tai in this reboot is considerably more skilled in battle from the get-go, especially compared to his initially hotheaded original self. While the others certainly get their moments to shine, it's Tai that does most of the heavy lifting this time around and contributes to a good chunk of the group's victories. While Agumon is the one that does the actual fighting, the partner Digimon are powered by their bonds with their respective Chosen Ones, and Agumon in particular benefits a ''lot'' from Tai's courage.

* DefrostingIceKing: The more time Matt spends with the other Chosen Ones, the more he warms up to them, especially during his time with Sora and Joe. The two are the first to know about T.K's existence, and what he means to Matt, and he starts to tolerate them a bit more.

* AbledInTheAdaptation: She shows no signs of the illness that left her unable to attend the summer camp with the other Chosen Ones in the original ''Adventure''.

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:They go to the human world to live with the Chosen Ones. The only excpetion is Agumon, who stays behind with Tai.]]

* SixthRanger: Just like the original ''Adventure'', Gatomon fills the role. ''Unlike'' last time, though, Patamon joins her as a co-Sixth Ranger. The two of them were members of the holy Digimon instead of being warriors like the other six, and the objective of the first arc is for the Chosen Ones to venture to the Cloud Continent to find them.

* SuperEmpowering: Every time [=MetalGreymon=] starts digivolving into a Mega level to match the opponent, there is a brief window of time where he is covered by an orange or dark glow and manages to better hold his own against an opposing Mega before actually digivolving. Lopmon addresses the massive power of the Chosen One's Digimon to their partnerships with the humans.

* TrapMaster: Palmon has made use of her Poison Ivy to set up complex traps for the thieves stealing the kingdom's fruit, ending up with her catching the Chosen Ones instead. Later on, they set up another one to deal with the Tuskmon pack.

** Pegasusmon in the original continuity appeared in ''02'', which takes place three years after the original, as Patamon's Armor Digivolution. Here it's Patamon's alternate digivolution after he could no longer access Angemon's powers during the Chosen Ones first adventure.

* AllYourPowersCombined: How the form of Goldramon is acccessed. The hopes of the other Chosen Ones unlock this digivolution from [=MagnaAngemon=], as well as Gatomon's counterpart, Magnadramon.
* AscendedExtra: Patamon can digivolve into Goldramon as of episode 50, which is one of the Four Great Dragons alongside Magnadramon but is otherwise completely underutilized in most media. To wit, Goldramon goes from being a relatively minor Digimon despite its status to being one of the Chosen One's partners.

* BadassInDistress: When the Chosen Ones first encounter him, he's been held hostage by Devimon for years at this point, and had been slowly losing his power as a result.

* AllYourPowersCombined: This is how the form of Magnadramon is achieved, an digivolution from Angewomon born from the hopes of the other seven Chosen Ones (Alongside Goldramon, Patamon's counterpart).

* DeusExMachina: Agumon and Gabumon can't naturally fuse into him yet, only combining in moments of extreme danger (so far only when battling Mega level Digimon Argomon and Nidhoggmon). It's later described that his entire ''existence'' is a miracle made manifest.
* FusionDance: Created when Agumon and Gabumon fuse together. They've done it as Greymon and Garurumon instead of as [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] though. [[spoiler:A flashback reveals he was originally a fusion of all the commanders except the Holy Digimon, as the souls of the four who fell in battle combined with them.]]

* LightIsGood: He has shining white armor, can be activated by the Holy Digimon, and is the strongest Digimon available to the Chosen Ones. That's about as LightIsGood as you can get.

* LeaderWannabe: [[BigBrotherInstinct Joe believes he’s obligated to be the one in charge of leading the group]] as the [[SenpaiKohai oldest]], but he doesn't have the nerve to actually try to enforce that. He tries introducing himself as such to Izzy only to be quickly shot down by Mimi. However, it's eventually slightly subverted as Joe proves himself at ''least'' capable of filling a leader role, and the other kids actually giving him said role.

* SenpaiKohai: Because he's older and in a more advanced grade than the others, the others address him as their Senpai. He still doesn't act as such due to his timid personality.

* BreathWeapon: He has TechnicolorFire breath attacks as both Gabumon and Garurumon. Gabumon has Petit Fire while Garurumon has the longer-range Fox Fire. As [=MetalGarurumon=] he instead has the ice-based Cocytus Breath.

* LastNameBasis: In the original Japanese, when telling him to stay with the others, he refers to Tai as simply "Yagami". He also refers to Koshiro as "Izumi" in their brief interaction in an earlier episode. In English, they start using each other's nicknames within seconds of meeting each other, so this does not apply.

* BadassInDistress: When Algomon returns in episode 57, it captures Tai and creates several explosive copies of him as distractions, leaving Agumon to save the real Tai before Algomon chokes the life out of him.
* BadassNormal: To help out Agumon, he uses [[GrievousHarmWithABody an Algomon Baby to attack other Algomon]], actually managing to delete some of them.
* BashBrothers: Him and Matt become this after the rest of the team is sent to the real world and they're the only two remaining children in the Digital World. Even before this, the two had shown to be this, such as when they teamed-up against Algomon in the start of the series and during the fight against Nidhoggmon.

** Even after the brutal beating he and Greymon receive from [=MetalTyrannomon=], the two keep on fighting. It's what leads to Greymon's evolution into [=MetalGreymon=].

* GrievousHarmWithABody: Uses an Algomon Baby as a weapon to attack other Algomon.

* BashBrothers: Becomes this with Tai after the other kids are sent to the real world, leaving only them and their Digimon in the digital world. Even before that, the two were shown to be this, particularly in the battles against Algomon and Nidhoggmon.

* ExperiencedProtagonist: Tai meets him in the Digital World, already riding on his evolved partner Garurumon, by the end of the first episode.

* TheStrategist: He comes up with methods to defeat enemies in just a few moments, such as leading Algomon’s grunts away while Tai and Greymon deal with the leader, or a risky close range attack against a Ultimate foe they can’t beat in a straight fight.

* MissionControl: Acts as this to Tai and Agumon in the first episode, directing the two to the swarms of Algomon that are causing the problems in the Human World.

* AdaptationalBadass: While always capable in the original anime, Sora was seldom in close proximity to Biyomon and her evolutions when her Digimon partner was fighting on her behalf. In this series, [[DragonRider 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).

* LovableCoward: He sometimes tends to complain and whine a lot, but he'll always have his friends back in any way he can. One example is when Sora and Matt leave him and Gomamon on the ground to go fight the Canonbeemon, Joe has Gomamon evolve to Ikkakumon so they can open a way for them by destroying the Waspmons.

* SingleTear: After Guardromon's death. That, along with her anger, is what causes Togemon to evolve to Lillymon.

** In the original series, the Partner Digimon would revert to their In-Training forms anytime they use too much energy by evolving to their Ultimate (and Mega in Agumon and Gabumon's case) forms. But after a while as the series progressed, they would become stronger and only revert into their default Rookie forms after evolving further. That doesn't happen here though, as so far when they evolve to Ultimate, they revert to their Rookie form. They also don't need Crests to unlock their Ultimate forms or in the case of Patamon, a Digimental to evolve into Pegasusmon.

* AdaptedOut: With the exception of Agumon, Gabumon, and Patamon, none of the main Digimon's Fresh or In-Training forms are shown. Even Agumon and Gabumon's are only shown as part of their Champion-level evolution sequences.

* DubNameChange: Like with their partners, if a Digimon's evolution stage had its name changed from Japanese to English, that dub name is retained.

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: The partner Digimon rarely, if ever use a form stronger than their current opponents' evolution level. Usually, it's Champion Vs. Champion, Ultimate Vs. Ultimate and so on. The only exceptions are when the big guns absolutely ''need'' to be brought out, such as with [[spoiler:[=BlitzGreymon=] fighting [=MetallifeKuwagamon=]]]; if every fight were like that, each episode would consist of a massive CurbStompBattle.
* TransformationSequence: Surprisingly averted. Despite being a staple of the series, their evolutions into higher levels have happened on real time rather than this trope. Agumon and Gabumon's evolutions play it straight though (and even then, their first times evolving into higher levels averted it as well- with the only exception thus far being [=WarGreymon's=] debut).

His Evolutions are as follows:

** Machinedramon (Mugendramon) (incomplete), a cybernetic hollow dragon made of mechanical pieces from various Ultimate Level Digimon and uniquely lacks any organic parts, born from a dark evolution.

* AdaptationalBadass: In general, Agumon and his evolutions have quite a bit more going for them than they did originally, and he's had considerably more solo feats under his belt to highlight the fact that he's TheHero's partner Digimon.

** And of course, if all of that wasn't enough, [[spoiler: he unlocked an entirely ''new'' evolution that his original series counterpart never had, [=BlitzGreymon=], granting him more versatility in the ways he can approach combat.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:Not Agumon, but his dark evolution Machinedramon. In the original, he was one of the series' villains, a violent dictator who callously slaughtered his men and helped warp the entire digital world. Here he's just the warped evolution of [=MetalGreymon=], born from his rage at Tai being eaten by [=DoneDevimon=]. He's still unhinged and malevolent, but now more of a maddened beast than an evil character.]]

* BashBrothers: Much like their partners, him and Gabumon fit this trope. Agumon's evolutions having a larger size and greater strength and Gabumon's evolutions having more agility and greater speed allows them to complement each other nicely and they show some amazing teamwork when fighting together.
* BattleAura: While fighting Algomon Champion, Greymon becomes wreathed in an orange light.

* CurbStompBattle: After spending most of the fight in a receiving end of one, Greymon evolves to [=MetalGreymon=] and turns the tables by delivering one against [=MetalTyrannomon=]. The fight after the evolution basically consisting of [=MetalGreymon=] slicing through or dodging all of [=MetalTyrannomon's=] attacks while throwing him around the field like rag doll and then finally finishing him off by blowing him up.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:In the original series, Machinedramon was a major antagonist and [=SkullGreymon=] was Agumon's Dark Evolution. This series instead reworks Machinedramon into Agumons Mega level Dark Evolution. Besides that, his [=MetalGreymon=] Alterous Mode and new laser weapons borrow from other Cyborg Digimon protagonists like [=WarGrowlmon=] and [=RiseGreymon=]. Slightly subverted when an actual Machinedramon shows up much, ''much'' later.]]

* TheDeterminator: Much like his partner, Greymon refuses to stop fighting against [=MetalTyrannomon=] despite being on the receiving end of a brutal CurbStompBattle. This pays off as it allows him to evolve to [=MetalGreymon=] and turn the tables.
** He does it again against Crossmon and a horde of Allomon, even when Alterous Mode proves to not be enough. Once again it pays off, allowing him to evolve to [=WarGreymon=] and reverse the curb stomp, obliterating Crossmon and the entire army of Allomon in one hit while also being able to NoSell their attacks.

* DinosaursAreDragons: Agumon and his evolutions are dinosaur themed, and are capable of breathing fire. [=MetalGreymon=] pushes it further by growing wings.

* DraconicHumanoid: Unlike his dinosauric lower evolution's, [=WarGreymon=] is more human shaped and explictly described as a dragon warrior. [[spoiler:As a subspecies of [=WarGreymon=], [=BlitzGreymon=] also counts, though he's instead classified as a cyborg.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:His Ultimate evolution sequence starts with a hologram of Machinedramon biting Greymon entirely before his transformation into [=MetalGreymon=], hinting at the mechanical dragon being one of its dark evolutions. To a smaller extent, the fact that Alteros Mode's cannon is derived from the ''Virus-type'' version of [=MetalGreymon=] X-Antibody, which could be foreshadowing either of Machinedramon or [=BlitzGreymon=].]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler: Briefly delivers one of these to [=DoneDevimon=] after he dark evolves into Machinedramon, at least before his opponent gets his bearings and starts turning the tables]].

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:[=MetalGreymon=]'s eyes turn red as a prelude to his dark evolution into Machinedramon.]]

* SingleStrokeBattle: [[spoiler:Effortlessly tears through [=DoneDevimon=] with a single charge after evolving into [=WarGreymon=].]]

* SuperEmpowering: Every time [=MetalGreymon=] starts evolving into a Mega level to match the opponent, there is a brief window of time where he is covered by an orange or dark glow and manages to better hold his own against an opposing Mega before actually evolving. Lopmon addresses the massive power of the Chosen One's Digimon to their partnerships with the humans.

* TailSlap: Greymon smashes Algomon Champion with his tail twice in the first episode, and [=MetalGreymon=] does the same to [=MetalTyrannomon=] after cross-locking its arms with his mouth and trident hand.

His Evolutions are as follows:

** In the original series, [=WereGarurumon=] was one of the team's weakest Ultimate 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. Additionally, his hand-to-hand fighting style is much more refined; 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 now has access to energy wings and other incredible gadgets as part of his Sagittarius Mode, which he also attained under his own power, allowing him to regain the speed that his species loses after evolving from Garurumon and giving him the best of both worlds at his disposal, while giving a taste of what [=MetalGarurumon=] is capable of.

** And of course, Gabumon gets a new evolution in the form of [=CresGarurumon=], giving him a lot more options to fight opponents with. He's even seen taking down a Zanbamon, which even [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] struggled against, in a SingleStrokeBattle.

* BashBrothers: Just like their partners, he and Agumon are this. Gabumon's evolutions are faster and more agile while Agumon's are larger and stronger, making them the perfect combo and taking care of each other's flaws, which is shown by their teamwork when fighting together.

** [=MetalGarurumon=] handily delivers one to Parasimon after evolving, ripping it right out of Machmon and obliterating it with a single Cocytus Breath before saving Machmon shortly after.

* LightningBruiser: His evolutions move quickly and hit hard. Tai even notes how fast Garurumon is and how he moves around the battlefield with much more speed and agility than Greymon. Taken even further with [=WereGarurumon=], who attacks so fast his kicks become blurs and hits hard enough to completely [[CurbStompBattle crush]] Scorpiomon in combat.
* {{Lunacy}}: In [=WereGarurumon's=] evolution sequence, Garurumon is given power through the moon.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [=WereGarurumon=] is an inversion of the "classic" warewolf, being the evolved form of Garurumon, meaning he's a wolf becoming a werewolf as opposed to a man doing so. The "Were" in his name also serves as short for werewolf, further associating him with the creature.

* WolfMan: When he evolves into [=WereGarurumon=] he becomes a humanoid wolf. [=CresGarurumon=] is the same, but decked out in gold armor.

His Evolutions are as follows:

* BigCreepyCrawlies: His evolutions are insect themed, but are much larger than the insects they're based on.

** After he evolves to [=MegaKabuterimon=], he effortlessly defeats the small army of Kuwagamons that were giving Greymon and Togemon trouble. This is due to the fact that, despite him being outnumbered, he's still an entire level above them.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When [=MegaKabuterimon=] [[spoiler: blows up the ISS to stop it from hitting Tokyo, the aura of [=HerculesKabuterimon=] is glimpsed around him.]] This serves as foreshadowing [[spoiler:for the actual evolution itself, which happens in Episode 59]].

* KabukiSounds: Paired with his evolutions, which when combined with his accent and SumoWrestling style, gives him a very traditional motif compared to Izzy's technology.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Speaks with this accent, for some reason.

Her Evolutions are as follows:

* PollyWantsAMicrophone: She can talk in all her evolutions, which are avian-themed.

His Evolutions are as follows:

* WarmHeartedWalrus: All three of his evolutions are based on walruses and he retains his supportive personality when transformed.

Her Evolutions are as follows:

* AdaptationalHeroism: Not Palmon herself, but Ponchomon, who had appeared as a minor minion under Mephismon in the first ''Tamers'' movie, while in this continuity it's an alternate evolution for one of the heroes' Digimon.

T.K's partner Digimon, a mammal with wing-like ears. Like Agumon, he was involved in a battle in ancient times in his evolved form.

His Evolutions are as follows:

* '''???''': Pegasusmon (Pegasmon), a pegasus wearing golden armour emblazoned with the Crest of Hope, a alternate evolution from Patamon taken on after exhausting Angemon's power.

** '''Mode Change''': [=MagnaAngemon=] Priest Mode, a fully-robed version of [=MagnaAngemon=] that appears briefly during Seraphimon's evolution sequence.

** Pegasusmon in the original continuity appeared in ''02'', which takes place three years after the original, as Patamon's Armor evolution. Here it's Patamon's alternate evolution after he could no longer access Angemon's powers during the Chosen Ones first adventure.

* AllYourPowersCombined: How the form of Goldramon is acccessed. The hopes of the other Chosen Ones unlock this evolution from [=MagnaAngemon=], as well as Gatomon's counterpart, Magnadramon.
* AscendedExtra: Patamon can evolve into Goldramon as of episode 50, which is one of the Four Great Dragons alongside Magnadramon but is otherwise completely underutilized in most media. To wit, Goldramon goes from being a relatively minor Digimon despite its status to being one of the Chosen One's partners.

* CoolHelmet: After evolving from Patamon, his evolutions cover their heads in progressively fancier helmets.

* DiscardAndDraw: After exhausting the remaining powers he had as Angemon, Patamon instead gains the ability to evolve into Pegasusmon.
* DeusExitMachina: Since Angemon is so much more powerful in this version (including being able to evolve Agumon and Gabumon into Omnimon), Pegasusmon has to eventually become his default evolution to allow him to participate in fights. Angemon does eventually return in episode 41, however.

* EmotionEater: A benevolent version. He was able to evolve to Angemon once again using the hope that Matt inspired in T.K. and that T.K. inspired in various Digimon trapped inside [=WaruMonzaemon=].
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:He evolves to [=MagnaAngemon=] by accepting and reabsorbing Devimon. The episode ends with them talking to each other about which of them will outlast the other, with Devimon seemingly having manifested as the black section of [=MagnaAngemon=]'s armor.]]
* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler:While trapped within Sephirothmon, Angemon reveals that Devimon is a part of him that split off due to the pain of being immersed in miasma. He is able to evolve to [=MagnaAngemon=] by accepting and reabsorbing that part of himself.]]

* HesBack: Patamon, fueled by the hope of the Digimon trapped inside [=WaruMonzaemon=] with him and T.K, regains the ability to evolve into Angemon. To help drive it home that this is a particularly special moment, instead of either "Be the Winners" or "X-treme Fight" playing during the evolution, "Break the Chain", which was previously only used for the Ultimate evolutions, blares in the background.

* HolyHandGrenade: After evolving from Patamon, his evolutions attack with holy powers. Even Pegasusmon's Silver Blaze is a holy ray.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Tokomon reveals its two rows of sharp teeth while evolving to Patamon.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: As Angemon and his higher evolutons, almost all of them WingedHumanoid versions. The exception is Goldramon, who is a dragon.

* WingedHumanoid: Angemon and his higher evolutions are humanoids with varying amount of wings emerging from their backs.

Her Evolutions are as follows:

* AllYourPowersCombined: This is how the form of Magnadramon is achieved, an evolution from Angewomon born from the hopes of the other seven Chosen Ones (Alongside Goldramon, Patamon's counterpart).

* HolyHalo: When evolving into Angewomon, Gatomon's Holy Ring becomes a halo which she ascends through to transform from a cat into an angel.

* PowerGivesYouWings: Evolving to her Ultimate level of Angewomon gives her eight wings to fly freely with, in addition to the extra power of being a higher level.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:[=SkullKnightmon=] is one of these, having been created by the forces of darkness amplifying her negative emotions until they became all-consuming. The emotions that formed [=SkullKnightmon=] are still a part of her, which initially makes her afraid to evolve.]]

* WeaponTwirling: [[spoiler:Ophanimon twirls her javelin at the end of her evolution sequence.]]

The fused form of [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=], a Mega level Digimon they become to defeat the seemingly unsurmountable Algomon. Afterwards, neither retain any memory of the experience.

His Evolutions are as follows:
* '''Mega (fusion)''': Omnimon, a mechanical-looking holy knight of tremendous power. Created by fusing the evolved forms of Agumon and Gabumon and empowered by the light of hope.

* CurbStompBattle: Although neither the battle against Algomon (who constantly regenerates) nor the battle against Nidhoggmon (who constantly draws power from the real world to counter his attacks) ''seem'' overly one-sided, Omnimon ends up defeating both in a short period of time without taking any damage whatsoever, with most of the tension coming from the fact that their battles are [[RaceAgainstTheClock on a timer]] rather than any risk of actually losing.

* DeusExMachina: Agumon and Gabumon can't naturally fuse into him yet, only combining in moments of extreme danger (so far only when battling Mega level Digimon Algomon and Nidhoggmon). It's later described that his entire ''existence'' is a miracle made manifest.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Omnimon's power is ''insane'', [[CurbStompBattle easily defeating]] Algomon and Nidhoggmon, who’s also shown to have a lot of power before, and his appearances are all treated as divine interventions. [[spoiler:A flashback reveals he's not even at full strength yet. He was originally a fusion of ''six'' Digimon: the two he is now plus their four fallen comrades.]]

* DubNameChange: Each of the characters are given their original English names in the dub (if they had them, of course). However, it's downplayed as the characters still go by their canon names, with their English names serving as an InSeriesNickname like the original series' dub had implied. Tai and Kari's surnames are still changed from Yagami to Kamiya, however.

* BadassAdorable: They're willing to help their partners fight alongside huge Digimons and are on a mission to save Tokyo, but they're still cute young children. Special mention goes to T.K., being the youngest and smallest of them, but no less badass.
