History Characters / DigimonTamersPartnerDigimon

* CatchPhrase: [[GratuitousForeignLanguage "Moumantai!"]], which is Cantonese for "Don't worry!" or "No problem!", which he probably picked up off Henry's family since he's Half-Chinese. Terriermon tends to use it whenever something is even remotely tense even when everyone ''should'' be serious, which the others find somewhat annoying at times. But when someone else uses it: "[[HypocriticalHumor That's a really annoying thing to say!]]"

* RegretfulTraitor: [[spoiler:Despite a rocky start, Impmon had actually slowly begun to get along with the heroes. But after being the recieving end of a HumiliationConga, Impmon ends up making a BargainWithHeaven in exchange for power. He goes on a murderous rampage, only to be stopped when Jeri shows him mercy, even though he'd ''killed her partner''. He ends up deeply regretting everything he did to harm the children and their digimon, with Jeri's distraught, heartbroken face haunting him for the rest of the season]].

* SanityHasAdvantages: Megidramon is as powerful as Gallantmon, if not more, but proves far less effective than its knightly counterpart thanks to its near-mindlessness. It loses to [[spoiler:Beelzemon]] because it spent the entire battle trying to eat him in its animalistic rage while Gallantmon succeeded because of he was clear-headed enough to apply his strength rationally.

* PowerUpLetdown: Most of Megidramon's threat comes from his mere presence, more than any concious act. He spends most of his time on-screen grappling with Beelzemon, and then when Beelzemon gets a mild upgrade from Makuramon is beaten senseless. Justified because it's implied that Takato was regretting rather than just letting Megidramon do his own thing -- had Takato not restrain himself Beelzemon would be offed right there and now.

** NotSoStoic: He comes to agree with Rika's assessment of Kenta and Kazu being annoying idiots.

** '''Ultimate''': [=WarGrowlmon=] ''([=MegaloGrowlmon=])'', a giant dinosaur with a robotic upper half, akin to Adventure's [=MetalGreymon=].

* ShoutOut: [=MegaGargomon's=] overall design, with its myriad onboard ordinance and giant shoulder-launched missiles, is based on the OVA incarnation of ''Manga/GiantRobo''

* BigDamnHero: [[spoiler:Swooping in and saving the day when the D-Reaper is about to mop the floor with the other Digimon following his debut as Beelzemon Blast Mode]].

* RedemptionEqualsLife: She is the only Deva to do a HeelFaceTurn, and becomes the only one to survive the events of the series.

* TheLostLenore: To the entire main cast [[spoiler:after he is very suddenly killed off. His partner, Jeri, obviously is dealt with the brunt of the resulting grief, but the memory of Leomon lingers heavily for the rest of the series, including for his killer, Beelzemon who comes to deeply regret what happened]].

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Leomon is [[spoiler:only around for 13 episodes, but his death yields consequences that affect the remainder of the Tamers story]].

* WalkingSpoiler: His story is a relatively short part of the overall show but it's also the lynch pin for the events leading to the climax.

* ContraltoOfDanger: She has a very low voice.

* KnightOfCerebus: Even though the series wasn't exactly [[DarkerAndEdgier cheerful and light-hearted]] before, Beelzemon is the [[spoiler:first villain to do something with ''lasting consequences'' in the franchise's history]] His [[spoiler:murder of Leomon is not an off-handed kill that's shrugged off after a few episodes, but rather a traumatizing and horrible event for Takato and Juri that's exploited by the D-Reaper]].

* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Even though the series wasn't exactly [[DarkerAndEdgier cheerful and light-hearted]] before, [[FromBadToWorse Beelzemon coming along]] is the rude awakening that ''Tamers'' does ''not'' play by the same rules as ''Digimon Adventure'']].

* BadassBaritone: In the German dub, Taomon's voice is ''very'' deep. While, Renamon, Kyubimon and Taomon are voiced by a man, only Taomon's voice fits this trope.

* BadassBaritone: As Beelzemon. In both Japanese and English, Impmon's voice is high-pitched and bratty, while Beelzemon's is very deep and intimidating.

** Interestingly, she's actually explicitly portrayed as gender-ambiguous or androgynous in the Japanese version, using a (technically) gender-neutral pronoun and being confirmed by Word Of God to have been written as androgynous. This gets referenced when Ruki's family initially assumes she's female. She tells them that all Digimon are technically genderless - this conversation is retained in the english dub.

* BrutalHonesty: His first line towards Takato is pointing out how bad a Tamer he is for losing his Digimon. He never hesitates to speak his mind whenever and wherever and to whoever he feels like – normally he doesn’t mean any harm, but just can't seem to stop himself from saying something out of place, be it a quip he thinks is amusing, or an unintentionally insulting observation. All very possibly the result of being a wild Digimon, fighting by the rules of survival of the fittest in the Digital World before meeting Henry.

* AxCrazy: His bloodlust is so strong that his partner can barely control him. When it gets bad enough, he has to be taken to places with enough dangerous opponents to fight to sate his bloodlust until he calms down.
* TheBerserker: As Cyberdramon, he's brutal to opponents. Ryo has to resort to restraining him with a whip to keep him from losing himself entirely to his lust for battle.

* BloodKnight: He constantly seeks out opponents to fight. In the Real World, he and Ryo fought the D-Reaper to settle his blood lust while the Tamers were resting.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his raging need for battle, Cyberdramon isn't evil, he just easily loses control as he has to constantly restrain the influence of his Millenniummon half. When he reverts to Monodramon, his true, goofy and childlike personality shines through.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He needs Ryo to keep him from going berserk.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Ryo deliberately avoid any attempt to remember his past to avoid the chance of Cyberdramon reawakening his memories of his time as Millenniummon.

* WillfullyWeak: Justimon, while powerful, is far weaker than natural Mega form. Given that going to his natural Mega would mean unleashing any form of Millenniummon on the world again, Ryo considers the loss of strength to be a more than acceptable trade-off.
